Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 1606: Heaven-Devouring Rat
Although Yao Zhiqing and Ji Ping both asked Su Chen to keep the sword for himself, Su Chen stubbornly refused, and they found themselves at a loss!
They had certainly seen Su Chen's obstinacy before!
However, deciding who would keep this Spirit Sword was also a problem. Even though Su Chen didn't care much for it, for those in the Xu Realm, spiritual artifacts were extremely precious!
So, the two began to offer it to each other, both embarrassed to accept it!
Yao Zhiqing felt Ji Ping was slightly weaker, while Ji Ping thought it improper for a man to compete with a woman.
In the end, Yao Zhiqing couldn't prevail over Ji Ping and accepted the sword, albeit reluctantly!
Seeing her finally accept it, Ji Ping smiled with satisfaction.
Honestly, although spiritual artifacts are valuable, given the current relations among them, it's of little importance whose hands the artifact ends up in!
"By the way, are spiritual artifacts very valuable in the Xu Realm?"
Su Chen asked casually.
Upon hearing this, Yao Zhiqing and Ji Ping looked at him with strange expressions!
"Of course, there are only a few spiritual artifacts in the entire Xu Realm. Wouldn't you say they're priceless?"
Yao Zhiqing glanced at him and said.
"Indeed, were it not for the fear of your strength, those people from before would have rushed to snatch it madly!"
Ji Ping smiled in agreement.
Hearing this, Su Chen thought to himself that he might have underestimated the value of spiritual artifacts in the Xu Realm!
Even his previous assumptions might not be accurate, like when he thought that superlative forces in the Ancient Martial World would have several spiritual artifacts!
Yet he hadn't seen a single one. From this perspective, there might not be any spiritual artifacts in the Ancient Martial World, and if there were, perhaps only one or two!
So, despite only a few spiritual artifacts existing in the Xu Realm, it's already not too bad!
...
Afterward, the group continued onward; Yao Zhiqing and Su Chen couldn't help but "complain" a bit about Su Chen's previous impulsiveness!
But seeing Su Chen still with a carefree smile, acting as if nothing was wrong, they let it go!
Besides, it's useless to harp on it!
Actually, their "chatter" was nothing more than an attempt to dispel the worry in their hearts!
...
As Su Chen walked, he decided to change his path, heading towards a more secluded area!
His thinking was that if a place isn't secluded, even if there were good things, they might not end up with him!
Just like the Bi Yuan Fruit, wasn't it found behind a very secluded mountain, beside the water stream?
...
Time flew by, and two days passed. Although they took secluded paths, there was no shortage of Demon Beasts!
As before, the weaker ones were dealt with by Yao Zhiqing and Ji Ping, while Su Chen handled the stronger ones!
At this moment, they spotted a cave, and Su Chen heard some noise inside!
"You both wait here, I'll go check it out!"
Su Chen gestured as he spoke.
Yao Zhiqing and Ji Ping stopped at his words, and Su Chen carefully approached the cave entrance!
Yet, as Su Chen approached, the noise suddenly disappeared!
"Whoosh!"
Just as Su Chen neared the cave entrance, suddenly, a shadow shot up, carrying a huge momentum, rushing straight towards Su Chen's face!
The speed was so quick that even Su Chen was startled!
Fortunately, he'd been keeping vigilant, so when the shadow pounced, he immediately activated "Wind Shadow Step" to its fullest, slightly leaning back and retreating swiftly!
Even so, the tremendous force still left a stinging sensation on his face!
The sudden change just now gave Ji Ping and Yao Zhiqing a scare. Seeing Su Chen unharmed, their racing hearts calmed down!
Now, Su Chen looked towards the form that had shot out earlier; without a doubt, it was a demon beast!
This demon beast somewhat resembled a mouse, but it was much bigger, over four meters long, two meters tall, far larger than a person, with a coat of gray-brown fur!
Su Chen instantly recognized this demon beast as the "Shi Tian Mouse"!
This demon beast is characterized by cunning and agility, which distinguishes it from other demon beasts!
To Su Chen's surprise, this demon beast had already reached a level nearing Minor Perfection in the Heaven's Ultimate Realm!
In this secret realm, Su Chen rarely encountered even late-stage Heaven's Ultimate Realm demon beasts, yet here, he'd come across one nearly at Minor Perfection!
Su Chen was suddenly filled with excitement!
"Screech, screech!!!"
But compared to Su Chen's excitement, the Shi Tian Mouse eyed him with vigilance and ferocity, letting out a piercing cry!
At this moment, Yao Zhiqing and Ji Ping's faces drastically changed!
Though they couldn't discern this demon beast's Realm, its presence felt even denser than that of Gu Family's Elder Zhao and Dongfang Cheng!
Meaning, this demon beast's Realm likely surpasses the late-stage Heaven's Ultimate Realm, and what's more, a demon beast of the same Realm is stronger than humans!
"Su Chen, be careful!"
Both shouted in unison!
"Don't worry, just step back!"
Su Chen said.
Despite having confidence to take down this demon beast, his speed advantage was negligible now!
Su Chen's "Wind Shadow Step" now covers 500 meters in a breath, similarly fast as an average Perfection Realm, only slightly faster!
The Shi Tian Mouse was inherently agile, faster than typical demon beasts, its speed matching an average Perfection Realm!
Upon hearing this, Yao Zhiqing and Ji Ping immediately backed up further!
"Screech, screech!!!"
Now, the Shi Tian Mouse once again leaped and dashed towards Su Chen, while its legs swept towards Su Chen!
Its legs were incredibly thick and strong, sweeping across, stirring the surrounding air into a torrential flow!
Simultaneously, the Shi Tian Mouse opened its mouth, revealing two rows of thin, long teeth, sharp as blades, aiming at Su Chen's throat!
"Courting death!"
"Thousand Hand Seal!"
Su Chen shouted, sending out a palm strike, two Palm Prints instantly emerged!
Su Chen rarely encountered a demon beast of this level, naturally wanting to practice a bit, not eager to finish it quickly!
In an instant, the two Palm Prints merged into one, hurtling towards the Shi Tian Mouse's body!
"Boom!!!"
A deafening explosion followed, the chaotic void currents surged wildly like a rampant herd!
The Shi Tian Mouse was struck violently, its body flying backward mid-air!
Then, its massive body landed, but it turned over and stood up!
Simultaneously, Su Chen felt a tremendous force, retreating several steps!
