“Quick, get there at once!” Zhang Che roared. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon under him flew, nearly scraping the ground, wiggling his way forward like a fish in the water, quickly closing the distance between them and the giant stone man.

Whoosh! A violent sonic boom rang out. Another huge rock spear came flying at them.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon quickly changed direction, dodging the rock spear again, and shortening the distance between the two parties.

At this moment, Zhang Che was less than five hundred meters away from the giant stone man.

“We’re almost there!”

Zhang Che’s eyes narrowed slightly, ready to summon the scarlet sword at any moment.

At that instant, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew into the giant stone man’s gravity field.

A heavy pressure suddenly fell upon Zhang Che and the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, weighing down on them. Zhang Che nearly had to lay flat on the dragon’s back.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s speed was greatly affected, too. He was originally flying close to the ground to begin with, and he very nearly came into contact with the ground with the sudden weight pressing onto him.

-Damn it!-, Zhang Che cursed inside. He could only let the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon try his best to carry on.

Things had progressed to this point. Other than going straight forward, there was no other path for Zhang Che to take.

Whoosh! Another tremendous sonic boom rang out. A rock spear plunged into the ground with a rumble, almost scraping the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s body. The tiny rocks raised by the impact struck the dragon, directly exploding into even tinier bits.

The rock spears were incredibly powerful!

Due to the giant stone man’s gravity field, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s flying speed was greatly affected. He was now flying less than half as fast as before.

Seeing the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon dodging its rock spears one after another, the giant stone man let out a furious roar. Its two legs were like pillars reaching the sky and suddenly strode forth, crossing close to thirty meters with a single step.

Dong! A loud noise was made the moment it hit the ground. The earth shook like an earthquake was happening, shocking them.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The giant stone man never stopped once it started moving. Its pillar-like legs kept striding forward, running in Zhang Che’s direction.

At the same time, the giant stone man’s arms weren’t idling, either. A mass of dirty yellow light rose from the ground, along its legs, and quickly formed a rock spear in its hand. Its thick arm shot forward, throwing the spear at Zhang Che.

Currently, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was not even three hundred meters away from the giant stone man.

The rock spear brought with it a tremendous sonic boom, reaching the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Che’s pupils expanded. A sharp, deep glow was shining on the tip of the thick rock spear.

He had no doubt that if he was struck by the rock spear, even if the Purple Crystal Armor remained intact, he would be knocked dozens of meters back, followed by death from ruptured organs.

Sometimes, when physical attacks reached a certain level of destructive power, just blocking the attack wasn’t the end of it. The impact carried by the massive force could directly penetrate any armor and apply to your body, destroying your vulnerable flesh.

The martial art move, Striking a Bull Beyond a Mountain, wasn’t as senseless as it seemed in the movies…

Zhang Che’s heart leapt up to his throat. He quickly leaned his body back, directly laying back on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back.

At the same time, the dragon let go of all resistance against the gravity field. He was like a nail attracted to a magnet, instantly pressing against the ground.

A wave of violent, rampaging wind blew past. Despite wearing the Purple Crystal Armor, Zhang Che clearly felt how strong the wind brought about by the rock spear was.

“Receiving the beating and being unable to fight back. How stifling!”

It could be seen how high an epic-quality exotic beast’s combat strength was.

When he hunted the Wind God Leopard, that fellow happened to be in a weakened state after giving birth, and thus the battle didn’t leave too deep of an impression on Zhang Che. Now, he finally understood how lucky he and Luo Wenjun’s party was.

If that Wind God Leopard had been able to utilize its False Domain, let alone claiming victory over it, they might not have had even a chance of escaping!

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! The giant stone man quickly approached, step by step. At the same time, another rock spear appeared in its huge palm.

“Since it’s difficult for me to close in, I might as well just let you come to me!”

Zhang Che immediately switched up his plan. He had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon move by slithering on the ground like a snake. He wasn’t hoping to get closer to the giant stone man, only aiming to not get struck by that terrifying rock spear.

As expected, another sonic boom rang out in the next moment. The rock spear in the giant stone man’s hand came flying at them, cutting through the air a hair’s breadth away from the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, plunging into the earth. A spread of small rocks was raised by the impact, hitting the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. Zhang Che’s Purple Crystal Armor produced a wave of crisp tings from the shrapnel.

Although the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon wasn’t flying forward, every step the giant stone man took would close their distance by a couple dozen meters.

A few seconds later, after Zhang Che had dodged three rock spears from the giant stone man, the distance between them had finally shrunk to about a hundred meters.

Finally, Zhang Che got a look at the giant stone man’s… oh, no, now it should be called the Earthen Rock Demon’s, attributes.

His pupils constricted slightly, growing very wary.

Zhang Che didn’t expect the Earthen Rock Demon’s attributes to be that strong. Both its skills were powerful offensive moves, especially that Lightning Rock Spear. It was worthy of being called a super strong single target skill.

Able to attack as fast as lightning; how many people would be able to dodge such an attack?

Up until now, the Earthen Rock Demon had yet to use any of its skills. Did that mean that Zhang Che wasn’t worth its attention?

After all, Zhang Che and the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon were already struggling to dodge its normal rock spear attacks. If he continued closing their distance, it could simply smack these two insects to their deaths with a slap. Was there a need to use its skills?

This fellow obviously knew the principle of not wasting effort on a trifling matter…
