Fairy Eye

After a slight hesitation, Han Lin quickly reached out and grabbed, and a gust of wind suddenly appeared, sweeping the approaching Zhu Yu fruit in front of him.

Then it vanished in a flash, and was stored in the Heavenly Treasury.

"roar!"

Deep in the forest, the armored beast roared in anger upon seeing this and charged wildly towards Han Lin, shaking the earth with a thud.

Humph.

Seeing this, Han Lin snorted coldly and did not fight him. He then dashed along the clearing at the edge of the woods.

When the armored beast emerged from the forest and chased after him again, Han Lin suddenly turned around and ran back into the woods.

This really infuriated the armored beast.

However, although this guy has amazing defense, once he enters the forest, his speed is greatly limited due to his size.

He was fine chasing down Wang Qinghe, who was in the early stages of Qi Refining, but when facing Han Lin, he seemed a bit powerless, and the distance between them gradually widened.

As Han Lin was running, he activated his Heavenly Eye and scanned the area. Soon, he spotted two familiar figures half a mile away.

His heart sank, and he decisively led the armored beast and rushed towards the two of them.

Wang Qinghe and Song Tingyu had been running all day and were panting heavily. Just as they were about to catch their breath, they heard a rumbling sound behind them, and their expressions changed drastically.

Song Tingyu exclaimed, "Senior Brother Wang, listen! That armor-splitting beast seems to be chasing us this way."

"I heard you."

Wang Qinghe's face was gloomy. "I'm afraid that good-for-nothing Han Lin couldn't stop the Armor-Cracking Beast at all and has already been eaten by it. That Armor-Cracking Beast holds a grudge and has come to hunt us down again."

"What should we do then?"

"There's no other way, run! Hopefully we can run into other treasure hunters before they catch up!" Wang Qinghe said, and continued running.

"Senior brother, wait for me!"

Song Tingyu cried out in surprise and hurriedly followed behind Wang Qinghe.

The two had barely set off when they suddenly heard a whooshing sound behind them, followed by a dark figure rushing past them.

"Han Lin!"

Upon seeing the person's back, Wang Qinghe's eyes widened.

"Wang Qinghe, Song Tingyu, I really misjudged you two. But I won't hold it against you. I've even brought you a generous gift. Enjoy it!"

Han Lin turned around and grinned maliciously, then continued running without hesitation.

"You bastard! You'll die a horrible death!"

Wang Qinghe was both shocked and furious, but dared not linger for a moment. He followed Han Lin closely, only to find himself drifting further and further away from him.

"Senior brother, how could he be so fast?" Song Tingyu was incredulous.

"It seems he has already broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining!" Wang Qinghe's face was extremely ugly, filled with both anger and jealousy.

What merit or ability does this ugly freak possess to have reached the fourth level of Qi Refining before me?

"Be careful!"

As soon as Wang Qinghe finished speaking, the bushes behind them suddenly rustled, and a gust of foul wind swept over their backs.

With a push, Song Tingyu sent Wang Qinghe to the other side, but her own arm was bitten by the armor-cracked beast.

His entire body was propelled forward by the armor-piercing beast.

Then the armor-cracked beast swung its head forcefully, and with a crack, it sent Song Tingyu flying, leaving half a bloody arm in its mouth.

"ah--!"

Song Tingyu fell to the ground, clutching his arm and screaming in agony, his face contorted in pain.

Seeing this, Wang Qinghe's eyes widened, seemingly wanting to help. But just as the armor-piercing beast pounced on Song Tingyu, he suddenly turned around and fled in the other direction.

"Wang Qinghe!!!"

Song Tingyu was both shocked and furious, and felt an indescribable regret in his heart.

She secretly regretted that she had misjudged him and had been deceived by his sweet words.

But soon, all that remained in her mind was intense fear. Her head was bitten off by the armored beast, and before she could even scream, she heard a snapping sound, blood spurted out instantly, and her body twitched a few times before going still.

The armored beast swallowed Song Tingyu whole in a few bites, glanced around but couldn't find Han Lin, and roared angrily before turning to chase after Wang Qinghe.

Wang Qinghe was terrified and threw all the talismans at the Armor-Cracking Beast without thinking. However, after a violent explosion, the Armor-Cracking Beast was still unharmed and relentlessly pursued him.

"Han Lin, I curse your whole family to die a horrible death—!" Wang Qinghe was completely exhausted. Just as the armored beast pounced on him, he let out a furious roar of resentment.

Immediately afterwards, the armored beast rushed up and bit both legs, smashing them back and forth on the ground while screaming in agony.

Han Lin hadn't actually left; he was currently hiding in a large tree about a mile away, observing the scene from afar using his all-seeing eye.

Only after witnessing Wang Qinghe being swallowed whole by the armor-cracked beast did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

This time he truly witnessed what human nature is like! Luckily, he had already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, otherwise he would definitely be the one in trouble today.

The armored beast, having devoured Song Tingyu and Wang Qinghe, was still not satisfied and searched the forest for Han Lin's whereabouts.

Han Lin did not want to fight this beast again.

But considering that this beast has already reached the mid-stage, and that I have mastered several yellow-rank spells, perhaps I can try to make mid-grade spirit talismans.

But I couldn't help but steel myself and decide to give it another try.

Anyway, with my cultivation level, even if I can't defeat this beast, I can use the dense trees in the forest to shake it off.

With that thought, he leaped down from the tree and stealthily made his way towards the location of the armored beast.

"roar!"

Han Lin thought he had been very careful, but the senses of this armored beast far exceeded his expectations.

Even when they were still dozens of feet apart, the armored beast smelled Han Lin's presence and turned to rush towards him.

"You think I'm afraid of you!"

This time, Han Lin didn't turn around and run away. He bent his legs slightly and jumped straight up, letting the armored beast rush past him.

Just as the armored beast regained its footing and turned around, Han Lin used a Water Prison Technique to strike the ground beneath it.

Immediately afterwards, a blue light flashed on the ground, and streams of blue energy emerged, tightly binding the armored beast's feet.

The armored beast strained with its hind legs, trying to break free.

Han Lin was even faster. With a powerful swing of his right hand, a beam of purple light shot out and struck the armored beast squarely on the head.

puff!

Like the sound of tearing cloth, the purple, fat sword pierced deeply into the brow of the armored beast. Only the inch-long, round hilt remained, resembling a shimmering purple bead.

The armored beast's prized armor proved utterly ineffective against this short sword. Crimson blood gushed uncontrollably.

But the armor-splitting beast did not die. Instead, it kicked off with its hind legs and charged at Han Lin again! Han Lin was startled and hurriedly dodged.

At the same time, he seized an opportunity to retrieve his short sword and continued to fight the beast in the forest!

It wasn't until an incense stick had burned out, when the armored beast was covered in wounds and completely collapsed, that Han Lin sat down heavily on the ground, his face pale and panting heavily.

He turned to look at the motionless armored beast, feeling both excited and speechless: "This black-skinned monster is too hard to kill, it almost exhausted me!"
