Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

Zhang Lexuan's side only had one, but its cultivation level was high, and it was 50,000 years old.

Generally speaking, the difference in cultivation level between the strongest and second strongest members of a soul beast clan is at least one level to ensure the absolute authority of the leader. However, this Xuanjia Jade Horned Rhinoceros allowed its subordinate to cultivate for 50,000 years, which shows its confidence in its own strength.

Kong Tianxu faced two ancient black jade rhinoceroses directly. Against these fleshy, lumpy creatures, he did not use the Sword of Judgment.

With a long roar, Kong Tianxu's body surged with silver light, and beautiful and indestructible dragon scales instantly covered his entire body. His hands transformed into sharp claws, and a pure, ancient, and domineering dragon might swept out.

The movements of the two black jade rhinoceroses suddenly slowed down considerably, and even Zhang Lexuan's side was affected.

The moonlight intensified, and facing the charging momentum of the two enormous creatures, Kong Tianxu directly lunged at his opponents with the most primal and ferocious physical strength.

The fighting style of the Black Jade Horned Rhinoceros is head-on confrontation. Faced with Kong Tianxu's attack, they don't even try to dodge; they charge forward almost without hesitation.

A shocking scene unfolded: Kong Tianxu opened one of his dragon claws and actually collided head-on with the single horn of the Black Jade Rhinoceros on his left, which was even larger than his entire body.

Kong Tianxu's dragon scales instantly glowed with a layer of gold. His gaze remained unwavering, and the black jade rhinoceros that had charged forward actually stopped in front of his incredibly simple and direct grab.

The golden light spread instantly, and in the next instant after the collision, the body of the ten-thousand-year-old black jade rhinoceros was suddenly lifted off from its tail, with countless internal organs and bones being compressed in an instant.

Faced with the head-on collision, which it excelled at, the millennium-old black jade rhinoceros actually lost, and lost so miserably.

Instead of retreating, Kong Tianxu advanced, his figure flashed, and he took a sliding step. He released and then withdrew the extreme coldness. Taking advantage of the moment when the right side of the Black Jade Horned Rhinoceros was slow, he did not stop and almost crawled under the belly of the ten-thousand-year-old Black Jade Horned Rhinoceros. His right hand slammed into the hind hoof of the right side of the Black Jade Horned Rhinoceros with lightning speed!

With a piercing "crack" sound, the hind hoof of the ten-thousand-year-old black jade rhinoceros suddenly rose forward, but only half of the hoof was raised.

Those sturdy hind hooves, they actually broke off just like that.

Then, Kong Tianxu leaped up and grabbed one of the little tails.

Immediately afterwards, his forward-moving body suddenly lurched downwards, crashing to the ground like a thousand-pound sledgehammer.

"Boom!" A loud roar rang out, and a powerful shockwave erupted from where Kong Tianxu landed, overturning the other black jade rhinoceros that had just recovered a little.

He grabbed the tail of the black jade rhinoceros and swung the rhinoceros, which was over twenty meters long and had incredibly strong muscles all over its body.

That's right, it's swinging.

He swung a dark, gleaming hammer!

The wind howled and tore, and the sharp horn instantly smashed into the head of another black jade rhinoceros!

With Kong Tianxu's terrifying strength combined with the astonishing weight of the Black Jade Horned Rhinoceros, if this blow landed squarely, both of these soul beasts would surely perish on the spot.

"when--"

A loud bang rang out instantly, and the heads of the two black jade rhinoceroses suddenly lit up. Kong Tianxu's terrifying attack ended just like that, without producing any offensive effect at all.

The Black Jade Horned Rhinoceros possesses the innate ability of absolute defense, making it a truly invincible guardian.

But now that Kong Tianxu knows this, will he really launch an attack that has no effect whatsoever?

The pair of silver dragon claws that had gripped the black jade rhinoceros horn suddenly trembled!

Chapter 175 Emerald Swan

With the strange exertion of their muscle clusters, the two Black Jade Horned Rhinoceroses felt as if their bones had fallen apart, their bodies weak and sore. The effect of their absolute defense had expired. The absolute defense skill of the ten-thousand-year-old Black Jade Horned Rhinoceroses could be used more than once a day, but there were intervals between uses.

But it was during this interval that Kong Tianxu revealed his true trump card.

He suddenly exerted force with both arms, pulling and pushing sideways, which actually caused the two giant rhinoceros horns to pierce each other's thick carapaces.

The sharp edge sliced ​​through the flesh, plowing out deep, crisscrossing cuts, and dark red blood immediately gushed out.

However, the defensive power of this Jade Black Horned Rhinoceros was indeed astonishing. Kong Tianxu had deliberately chosen a relatively vulnerable area, but even after breaking through the skin, the terrifying sharp horn could not completely penetrate. Instead, it pierced halfway in before being clamped by the extremely powerful muscles inside the Jade Black Horned Rhinoceros. The soul power surged, trying to push each other out.

Kong Tianxu made a move as if to swing his sword again—

"Boom!"

The tail of the black jade rhinoceros finally snapped off, sending plumes of blood mist flying out. Although they had escaped their predicament, both were extremely weak, uttering mournful cries as dark red blood flowed freely.

This……

The moon hung high behind Zhang Lexuan, its cold light slicing down like sharp blades as she clashed with another black jade rhinoceros. Even someone as self-important as her couldn't help but gasp at the sight.

That's too violent.

She had also seen many Soul Masters who were quite powerful, Jin Yehuan being a typical example, as was Bei Bei.

But she asked herself, neither of them could possibly engage in such a violent fight. It wasn't just about sheer strength; it was about a masterful, almost supernatural control of power that defied human logic. It was as if every muscle in his body could unleash the most precise force in an instant.

The combination of the Dragon Martial Soul and the Body Martial Soul was indeed incredibly powerful, with Kong Tianxu's strength even exceeding her previous expectations.

Faced with that powerful dragon might, even the black jade rhinoceroses, whose eyes were bloodshot from the beating, seemed hesitant to step forward.

From beginning to end, he relied entirely on his own formidable strength to fight, yet this seemingly simple and brutal fighting style was almost able to defeat the two ten-thousand-year-old black jade rhinoceroses in a short period of time!

However, her battle situation was not too difficult. She clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and the crescent moon behind her shone brightly, with beams of moonlight continuously falling and deflecting the momentum of the Black Jade Horned Rhinoceros's attack.

Silver light gleamed in her eyes, and her aura grew increasingly fierce. Her first, second, and third spirit rings shone brightly in succession, and the crescent moon in the sky seemed to continuously spray moonlight like spirit guide rays, precisely locking onto her opponent without stopping.

She wasn't confident she could kill it quickly, so she adopted a suppressive strategy. Although the damage wasn't significant, it effectively restrained the Black Jade Horned Rhinoceros's offensive and continuously weakened it.

Their battle went relatively smoothly, and there were no problems on the other side either. With the cooperation of his familiar teammates, Gu Fan finally demonstrated the strength befitting a Soul Saint from Shrek Academy's inner court.

Although Gu Fan in his Celestial Horse Martial Soul True Form state had difficulty directly colliding with the Ten-Thousand-Year Black Jade Mystic Horned Rhinoceros, the Serpent Soul Ring granted him extremely strong flexibility and muscle explosive power. With the help of Hua Yao's Lotus Martial Soul, which sometimes bound and sometimes cut, he not only made his opponents run around in circles, but also occasionally took advantage of the situation to strike those thousand-year-old Black Jade Mystic Horned Rhinoceroses, staining their dark blue horns with blood.

However, the most outrageous one was Li Zhuangyun. After obtaining Kong Tianxu's set of soul guidance equipment, he was like a completely different person. His refined temperament vanished, and he laughed wildly as he manipulated the cannon to unleash destructive soul guidance light.

Because of his ruthless use of soul power, he actually achieved the most kills in a short time. A thousand-year-old black jade rhinoceros with low cultivation level was forced to endure the time of absolute defense and was worn down by his cannon.

After Li Zhuangyun finished his outburst, he turned his head and saw Kong Tianxu swinging the black jade rhinoceros horn down.

His mouth was now wide enough to fit a duck egg. Was this... was this still the same boy who had wielded his sword and caused a rain of blood?

This power is simply too terrifying.

On the front, Jin Yehuan successfully entangled the strongest Xuanjia Jade Horn Rhinoceros, but he didn't gain any advantage. Its defense was too strong, and most of Jin Yehuan's attacks were ineffective. Instead, he was made somewhat disheveled by the counterattack containing both water and earth attributes.

This is why no one is holding back their full strength. The current situation seems to be in their favor, but this Xuanjia Jade Horned Rhinoceros is the real problem. If Jin Yehuan's defenses falter, the situation could be reversed in an instant.

After a fierce battle, thanks to their tacit cooperation and strong individual strength, the group successfully defeated most of the Black Jade Horned Rhinoceroses, rendering them unable to fight and causing them to collapse to the ground.

Strangely, as it watched its companions fall one by one, the Xuanjia Yujiao rhinoceros showed no panic, its dark green eyes remaining calm and serene.

However, just as the battle was progressing steadily according to plan, and Kong Tianxu was about to kill the first ten-thousand-year-old black jade rhinoceros, another unexpected event occurred.

The black-armored jade-horned rhinoceros suddenly raised its head and let out a long and peculiar roar.

As the roar echoed, a soft, vibrant green light suddenly rose from the shadows of the trees not far away.

In the light, a graceful swan, its body as if carved from jade, spread its wings. The wings were emerald green, each feather dazzling and vibrant, full of life.

Ripples of emerald light spread out like waves, instantly enveloping the Xuanjia Jade Horn Rhinoceros.

Wherever the azure light reached, the injuries of all the black jade rhinoceroses healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even more strangely, the soul ring of the thousand-year-old black jade rhinoceros melted in the emerald light, making the green light even stronger.

Soon, the giant rhinoceroses, which had been teetering on the brink of collapse, regained their spirits and roared again, and even the slight marks on the black-armored jade-horned rhinoceroses were immediately restored.

The situation reversed in an instant.

"The Emerald Swan!" Hua Yao exclaimed in surprise.

Kong Tianxu brandished the rhinoceros tail, which resembled an iron whip, in his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The Emerald Swan is a healing-type soul beast. It is extremely rare, and has even been nearly extinct. Its total number is even rarer than that of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

The reason for this is that jade swans are extremely fragile, especially when they are young, making them easy prey for other soul beasts. The pure life force condensed within them is priceless—the vitality contained in a 100,000-year-old jade swan can even be compared to a life-gold shrunk a thousand times, making it a great tonic for any soul beast.

Therefore, before the Emerald Swan reaches adulthood, it is too easy to be killed, and it often relies on powerful soul beasts to survive. The Black Jade Horned Rhinoceros is a rare herbivorous soul beast, so its appearance in this group of soul beasts is not surprising.

But it's also more challenging.

"Change tactics! With it around, we simply can't outlast these rhinos!"

Chapter 176 Ninety-Nine Thousand Nine, Evolvable Soul Rings

One by one, the seven spirit rings on her body flashed, and Zhang Lexuan unleashed her spirit power for the second time, forcing back the Black Jade Horned Rhinoceros that had rushed close to her. She shouted:

"Senior Brother, Kong Tianxu and I will hold off that Xuanjia Jade Horned Rhinoceros. You can use that move."

Jin Yehuan didn't speak, but simply nodded. After exchanging another blow with the Xuanjia Jade Horned Rhinoceros, he gave way.

In terms of strength, he might not actually be any weaker than the Xuanjia Jade Horned Rhinoceros, but he has been holding back and has not gone all out.

However, the Jade Swan's healing ability is extremely terrifying. Although the Jade Swan's cultivation level was less than 30,000 years, in just a short while, the condition of the group of Black Jade Horned Rhinoceroses had been restored to about 70-80%.

Apart from Kong Tianxu, everyone else had suffered a significant depletion of their soul power.

"Roar--"

The Jade Horned Rhinoceros signaled the start of its all-out attack. Streams of emerald light, whether released by the rhinoceros itself or the Emerald Swan, connected each individual member of the herd. As their auras surged, their terrifying bodies suddenly unleashed speeds far exceeding their size.

A mass berserk state? The crowd's expressions grew even more serious.

The current situation clearly no longer allows this senior disciple of the inner court to hold back.

Jin Yehuan closed his eyes in mid-air for a moment, and when he opened them again after landing, they had turned completely blood-red, the same blood-red color as the eighth eerie blood-red soul ring behind him.

Kong Tianxu and Zhang Lexuan, in perfect unison, charged towards the Xuanjia Yujiao Rhinoceros, whose entire body shimmered with an emerald-like luster.

After the Emerald Swan revealed its presence, the berserk Jade Horned Rhinoceros was clearly different from before. When it charged, it even left a trail of emerald green light and shadow behind it.

A faint silver mist rose from beneath Zhang Lexuan's feet, shrouding her body within it. Illuminated by the silver mist, she possessed an even more enchanting beauty.

In mid-air, the full moon shone brightly, and a beam of silver light shot down, heading straight for the Xuanjia Jade Horned Rhinoceros.

But the Xuanjia Jade Horned Rhinoceros disdainfully tossed its head, and with a gentle movement of its translucent, emerald-green jade horn, it shattered the moonlight falling from the sky.

Kong Tianxu arrived before her next ray of moonlight fell.

His charge was as swift as ever, but his attacks were incredibly gentle. His right palm, which had a faint texture of white jade, would occasionally land on the lower abdomen of the Xuanjia Jade Horn Rhinoceros, which was covered with a thick layer of armor and fat.

Zhang Lexuan was shocked to discover that Kong Tianxu's claim during the day that Jin Yehuan might not be able to keep up with his speed was not necessarily an exaggeration. His movement was incredibly fast, almost like a silver streak of light. Even a speed-type Soul Saint might not be able to do that.

If someone's eyes could follow his speed, they would notice that the landing point of his palms was always exactly the same, and as the number of times his palms slapped his abdomen increased, the movements of the Xuanjia Jade Horned Rhinoceros seemed to become increasingly sluggish.

The Jade Horned Rhinoceros was truly enraged. Although it could not charge at full speed as before, it moved forward steadily step by step. In the process, it no longer used its horn and relied on its body to withstand the moonlight.

Even when moonlight falls on it, it creates ripples of emerald green, which only slightly slows its progress but cannot push it back even a fraction.

With 70,000 years of cultivation, its defensive capabilities are undoubtedly monstrous.
