Chasing after her husband? Is it even possible to win him back?

The Earth-Splitter raised its head, its scarlet eyes fixed on the direction where the fat and thin men had flown away. It raised its upper body, crossed its arms, and slammed them hard onto the ground. Then, its smaller hind legs pushed off the ground.

It gave chase.

Like a roaring bulldozer, anything that stood in its way, whether trees or rocks, was crushed into pieces.

In the sky, the skinny man, who had already begun to fall, saw the path the Earth-Splitting Beast had taken in pursuit and his expression changed drastically. "Fatty, that thing is catching up!"

"I know!" Jin Fugui roared. "Li Qinglian, instead of shouting, you should hurry up and think of a way to kill it!"

"This bastard's bloodline power is too strong; earth-elemental spirits can't even withstand its poison. We don't have time to prepare a defensive position right now!" The skinny man named Li Qinglian roared in response, "And we lack lethal weapons!"

"Then there's nothing we can do..." The fat man's small eyes scanned the deep forest below as he fell, and soon he spotted a figure standing in an open area, looking up at the sky.

No, to be precise, that person was looking at himself and the skinny monkey!

"Fellow Daoists below!!! I am Jin Fugui, a disciple of the Lingyong Sect in Bianzhou! Please, save my life!!"

Before anyone could reply, the fat man, who was already falling in mid-air, suddenly accelerated, dragging the skinny man, who was leaving behind a ghostly scream in the sky, towards the ground.

Just before they hit the ground, he and the skinny man behind him suddenly slowed down, and the two landed safely.

The skinny man collapsed to the ground after landing, his face half pale and half green, unable to utter a single word.

Although the fat man's face was pale, he remained calm. He looked at the young man who was standing not far away and had not moved. "Sir, my brother and I have provoked a peak Qi and Blood Realm Earth-Splitting Beast. We lack powerful means of killing it and have now angered it. We are now in a difficult situation. If you are willing to join forces with my brother and me, we are willing to give up the Earth-Splitting Beast's reward."

"I'm only at the Iron Bone Realm," Chu Xunfeng replied calmly, looking at the fat man who was bowing to him.

"This..." Jin Fugui was speechless. Indeed, it was really asking a body cultivator in the Iron Bone Realm to deal with the Earth-Splitting Beast, which was known for its physical strength and also possessed the divine power of the Earth Spirit Root bloodline.

"Fatty, he's here!" Li Qinglian, who had just gotten up from the ground, also heard Chu Xunfeng and Jin Fugui's conversation and couldn't care less about anything else at that moment.

The booming sound was rapidly approaching.

"Fellow Daoist, run quickly! That demonic beast has been enraged by my brother and me. If a fight breaks out, it might also target you." Jin Fugui glanced at the handsome young man, put down his hand, and turned to walk to Li Qinglian's side. "My brother and I will fight it for a while to buy you some time to escape."

Chu Xunfeng raised an eyebrow. "Can you handle this?"

"At least... we can stall for a while before we escape."

"How long can this drag on?" Chu Xunfeng slowly walked to Jin Fugui's side.

"You have a way?" Jin Fugui looked at Chu Xunfeng in surprise.

“Last night I killed a Qi and Blood Realm early stage Earth-Splitting Beast.” Chu Xunfeng squinted his eyes. “I’d like to try my luck with a Qi and Blood Realm peak stage Earth-Splitting Beast.”

Jin Fugui's expression brightened, and he immediately turned to look at Li Qinglian. The two nodded in unison.

“I can suppress the Earth-Splitting Beast’s bloodline power. The skinny guy is a wood-type mage, so he can help you distract the Earth-Splitting Beast. Brother, the main attack is up to you!”

"Hmm." Chu Xunfeng nodded and silently got into position with the two people beside him.

Waiting for the Earth-Splitting Beast at the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm to approach.

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Earth-Splitting Beast

"Brother, my name is Li Qinglian, and Fatty's name is Jin Fugui. You'll be the main attacker. If you can't beat them, let me know in advance so we can run away together."

The gaunt young man, listening to the approaching roar, reminded Chu Xunfeng, "Fatty and I are both magic cultivators. I am a wood element cultivator, and Fatty is an earth and metal element cultivator."

"I'm a fat guy who plays with poison, can grow plants, and plays with gravity and mud. You'll be the main attacker later. Just call for help if you need it!"

Chu Xunfeng glanced at the skinny man, who was speaking rapidly without pausing, and replied with a surprised, "I understand."

"That's just how he is; he can't stop talking when he's nervous." Jin Fugui glanced at Li Qinglian, who was clenching his fists. "Don't mind him."

"It's alright, I understand..." Chu Xunfeng smiled. "You two are quite interesting."

"Who says otherwise? One is fat, one is thin; one is rich, the other is honest. Sometimes I wonder why the fat guy isn't a woman."

“That’s your mother.” Jin Fugui glanced at Li Qinglian and chuckled as he cursed.

Just as a smile appeared on Chu Xunfeng's face, the ground beneath their feet suddenly rose up.

The fat man's expression changed, and he immediately knelt down, pressing his hands to the ground. "Here they come!!"

"Brother!" the skinny man immediately called out to remind Chu Xunfeng.

But the young man had already taken a leap, and the clouds and mist had already enveloped him.

"Behave yourself!!" the fat man roared, and a strange rhythm emanated from Jin Fugui's hands pressed to the ground. Chu Xunfeng's gaze shifted downwards.

The effects of earth-elemental spiritual roots and bloodline supernatural abilities cancel each other out.

"Hmm." Chu Xunfeng nodded, his gaze turning to the skinny Li Qinglian.

At this moment, Li Qinglian used the vines that flew out of his sleeve to hang on a huge tree not far away, and his gaze met that of Chu Xunfeng, who was slowly falling from mid-air.

The skinny guy didn't have time to think about Chu Xunfeng's slow descent; he only heard the fat guy roar, "Skinny monkey, help me!!"

The skinny man suddenly turned his head and saw several huge rocks suddenly fly out from the deep forest. The skinny man, who was hanging on a thick tree, waved his hand and scattered a handful of seeds.

The wood-elemental spiritual energy was brewing within the seed. The skinny man made a hand seal with one hand and whispered a single word, "Rise!"

The fallen seeds suddenly grew into thick vines, which instantly intertwined to form a giant bowl, enveloping the fat man entirely within it.

The giant rock only managed to create a dent in the vine's massive bowl when it touched the extremely resilient vine. Although Chu Xunfeng heard several sounds of the vine cracking, the giant rock was ultimately stopped.

These boulders were just the prelude.

"Brother! Skinny Monkey! Let's finish this quickly! I can't hold out much longer!!" Jin Fugui's voice rang out from the large vine bowl.

Chu Xunfeng looked ahead.

A colossal beast burst forth from the forest like a chariot, its head, hidden behind its arms, met Chu Xunfeng's gaze instantly with its scarlet eyes.

The young man in mid-air felt the hairs on his back stand up. The intense killing intent made him feel cold all over, and it also made Chu Xunfeng feel his blood surging.

"Come!" Chu Xunfeng stepped onto the clouds beneath him and charged towards the five-meter-tall beast.

Seeing Chu Xunfeng's fearless behavior, Li Qinglian gritted his teeth, raised his right hand, and the seed hidden in his sleeve suddenly shot out vines under the stimulation of spiritual energy.

"Damn it, I'm going with him!"

Li Qinglian was not good at direct combat. He and Jin Fugui should have been the main attackers, while Li Qinglian would help by growing various plants or sprinkling pollen.

However, the bloodline power of this Earth-Splitting Beast was too strong, and Jin Fugui had to use his own spiritual energy to control the earth in order to resist the Earth-Splitting Beast's control over the earth.

Seeing Chu Xunfeng and Li Qinglian, two tiny beings, rushing towards it one after the other, the Earth-Splitting Beast roared angrily, suddenly raising its upper body and smashing its arms down at Chu Xunfeng.

Chu Xunfeng stepped onto the clouds and mist, his figure suddenly retreating.

"Bind!" Li Qinglian waved both hands in mid-air, scattering a handful of seeds. The vines instantly surged, binding the earth-shattering beast's movements for a moment.

However... at that moment, a huge mistake occurred in their coordination.

Chu Xunfeng retreated, while the Earth-Splitting Beast, being bound, had a moment more to adjust its position and pursue Chu Xunfeng.

"Go!!" The fat man roared, his suppressed rage seemingly choked with rage.

Chu Xunfeng felt his body was completely out of his control, and he rushed straight towards the Earth-Splitting Beast.

There was one more person among them.

Jin Fugui, whose entire body was almost lying on the ground, stubbornly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot as he stared in Chu Xunfeng's direction.

Bro, you'd better step up your game!

Chu Xunfeng also understood that this moment might be the best opportunity!

Blood Refining Technique!

The blood droplets were forced out of the skin, and the vital energy and blood were enveloped in the mist. The moment the phoenix blood left the body, it suddenly burst into flames.

Chu Xunfeng took a step forward, and the air suddenly exploded.

The young man's eyes were resolute. Using that step that missed its mark, Chu Xunfeng adjusted his posture in mid-air.

The earth churned and surged like boiling water, and Jin Fugui was gritting his teeth and desperately trying to hold on for those few seconds.

The sound of vines tearing was incessant. Li Qinglian gritted his teeth, disregarding the pain at this moment, and threw out another handful of seeds, hoping that they could hold on for the rest of the time.

The leg axe came down.

It crashed down with a loud bang.

This time, Chu Xunfeng really didn't hold back at all; he exerted even more force today than last night.

Is it done?

Li Qinglian fell to the ground, rolled over, and got up covered in dust, his eyes fixed on the huge, towering monster.

Jin Fugui exhaled forcefully. The force that had been resisting his spiritual power had disappeared. He almost collapsed to the ground, took a deep breath, and turned his head to stare at the young man standing on the giant beast.

Just as the two relaxed, Chu Xunfeng suddenly roared, "Not dead yet!!!"

Jin Fugui was stunned. He instinctively pressed his hands to the ground, and the rock spikes shot up and rushed straight towards the most vulnerable part of the Earth-Splitting Beast's lower body.

The rock pillar rose, but it crumbled into fragile sand halfway through its formation.

The giant beast suddenly spun around, fling Chu Xunfeng off its head and tearing away all the vines that were wrapped around its body.

Then, the behemoth lowered its upper body, which was covered by a thick layer of rock armor, crossed its rock-covered arms in front of it, faced Chu Xunfeng in mid-air, and took a big step forward.

At this moment, the Earth-Splitting Beast was like a building, crushing towards Chu Xunfeng, who was in mid-air and didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

Just then, a vibrant green vine shot out, wrapped around the young man's right leg, and abruptly pulled him out of the Earth-Splitting Beast's attack range.
