Chapter 541
The beast reacted very quickly. Its thick front limbs pushed the ground hard, and its huge body twisted in the air. Its flexible movements formed a sharp contrast with its size, and it easily avoided Fu Shaoping's attack. At the same time, one of its tails swept out like a steel whip, and the air seemed to be scratched with cracks, which scattered all the spiritual light rays shot by Nangong Wan.
Fu Shaoping turned over in the air to stabilize his body. His eyes were stern, and he tapped his feet lightly, rushing towards the beast again like an arrow from a string. He drew a few sword flowers with the long sword in his hand, and the sword energy crisscrossed, forming a sword net to cover the beast. Seeing this, the beast spewed out a black spiritual flame from its mouth, trying to burn the sword net. Fu Shaoping took advantage of the gap in the flames, performed the "phantom step", and instantly rushed to the front of the beast, and pierced the throat of the beast with the long sword.
The beast shook its head violently, avoiding the vital point, and at the same time, one of its front paws slapped down with a whirring sound. Fu Shaoping dodged and cut a hole on the beast's front paw, black blood flowed out.
Nangong Wan was not idle either. She quickly formed seals with her hands, and the surrounding water vapor quickly condensed, and countless ice cones shot at the beast like a rainstorm. The beast waved its tail and swept the ice cones off, but a few of them still pierced into the gaps between its scales, causing the beast to roar.
Fu Shaoping took advantage of the beast's attack on Nangong Wan and launched another attack. He moved his whole body's spiritual power, and the spiritual power in his body was like a surging river, rushing endlessly. The light on the long sword was bright, and a sword energy rushed into the sky. The sword energy was like a white lightning, slashing straight at the beast. The beast felt this powerful sword energy, and a black spiritual flame spurted out of its mouth. The flame had a foul smell and collided with the sword energy. For a time, spiritual power overflowed, light shone, and the entire underground space shook, as if it would collapse at any time.
In the fierce battle, Fu Shaoping found that although the beast was powerful, every time it attacked, its abdomen would reveal a flaw. He saw the right time, and when the beast spurted out spiritual flames again, his figure flashed like a ghost, and instantly appeared under the beast, and the long sword stabbed the beast's abdomen fiercely.
"Ah!" The beast felt pain and roared, and the roar seemed to overturn the entire underground space. The three tails swung wildly, smashing the surrounding ground into pieces, and stones flew everywhere like hidden weapons. Nangong Wan took the opportunity to launch the strongest attack. She gathered all her spiritual power between her hands, forming a huge ice-blue spiritual power ball. The spiritual power ball contained a strong cold air, and the surrounding air was frozen into ice crystals. She threw it hard at the beast.
After the spiritual power ball hit the beast, it exploded instantly, and the powerful impact force shook the beast back several steps. The beast shook its body a few times, and the fierce light in its eyes became even more fierce, as if it was an angry beast, vowing to tear the enemy in front of it into pieces. But it seemed to realize that the two people in front of it were not easy to deal with, and began to walk slowly around them, each step was extremely heavy, as if thinking about the best time for the next attack.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan stood back to back, watching the beast's every move vigilantly. Their heartbeats accelerated rapidly, their breathing became rapid, but their eyes were full of determination. They knew that this beast was extremely powerful and they might die here if they were not careful. However, they were unwilling to give up the precious elixir in the jade box, which carried their hope and was the key to their further progress on the road of cultivation.
Just when the two sides were deadlocked, Fu Shaoping suddenly had an idea. He remembered the scales he had obtained from the corpse of the monster before, which contained powerful defensive power. He quickly took out several scales from the storage magic weapon, and the scales flashed with strange light in his hands, as if telling their past stories. Then he used his spiritual power to integrate the scales into his magic sword.
After some effort, the sword body became harder and emitted a faint silver light. The light was soft and tough, as if it contained endless power. Fu Shaoping felt that the power of the sword had been greatly improved. He looked at the beast again, his eyes full of confidence, and that confidence was like a burning flame, dispelling the fear in his heart.
"Wan'er, I will divert its attention, and you will find a chance to attack its eyes!" Fu Shaoping whispered to Nangong Wan. Although his voice was low, it was full of power, as if conveying the belief that he would win. Nangong Wan nodded, indicating that she understood. There was a hint of nervousness in her eyes, but more of determination.
Fu Shaoping shouted and took the initiative to rush towards the beast. He waved the long sword in his hand, and a series of sharp sword energy shot towards the beast, cutting through the air and making a sharp whistling sound. Seeing this, the beast pounced on Fu Shaoping again, and its speed was extremely fast, like black lightning. Just when the beast was about to pounce on Fu Shaoping, he dodged the beast's attack cleverly, and at the same time went around the beast's back and stabbed the beast's tail with his long sword.
"Hiss!" The beast felt pain, turned around angrily, and roared at Fu Shaoping. Black flames spewed out of its mouth, and the flames had a strong impact, as if they were going to swallow Fu Shaoping. Fu Shaoping performed the "Qingfeng Jue", and his body was as light as catkins, moving freely in the flames, and the long sword in his hand kept looking for the beast's flaws.
At this time, Nangong Wan saw the opportunity and quietly went around to the front of the giant beast. She quickly formed seals with both hands, and her fingers danced flexibly, as if weaving an invisible net. An ice-blue spiritual power cone appeared in her hand. The spiritual power cone exuded a biting cold, and the surrounding air was condensed into frost. She shot the spiritual power cone at the giant beast's eyes.
The giant beast sensed the attack from the front and wanted to dodge, but Fu Shaoping kept attacking it from behind, making it unable to dodge Nangong Wan's attack. With a scream, the spiritual power cone shot into one of the giant beast's eyes. The giant beast roared wildly and rushed around in the underground space. Its body hit the wall, making a dull sound, and cracks appeared on the wall, as if it would collapse at any time.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan took the opportunity to launch another attack. Fu Shaoping injected all his spiritual power into the long sword, and then jumped high. His figure was wrapped in spiritual power, like an eagle spreading its wings and soaring. He chopped fiercely at the top of the beast's head. Nangong Wan also released all the remaining spiritual power to form a huge spiritual power barrier, which emitted a soft light and trapped the beast in it.
The beast struggled frantically in the barrier, constantly hitting the barrier, trying to break through the restraints. Seeing this, Fu Shaoping swung out several sword qi again, and the sword qi chopped the beast like a sharp blade. Every time the sword qi fell, a black blood flower splashed.
Nangong Wan also kept changing his handprints, and countless ice spikes appeared on the spiritual power barrier, stabbing at the beast. The beast was pierced all over by the ice spikes, but it was still resisting tenaciously.
Under the joint attack of the two, the beast finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground. Its body hit the ground with a loud noise and splashed a cloud of dust. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Their faces were full of fatigue, but their eyes revealed the joy of victory. They walked to the body of the beast and confirmed that the beast was dead before returning to the stone platform again.
Fu Shaoping carefully picked up the pill in the jade box and observed it carefully. This pill exudes a strong spiritual fragrance, which seems to have a magical power, making people feel refreshed, as if all fatigue disappears instantly. "This pill should be the biggest gain of our entry here this time." Fu Shaoping said, his voice full of joy and satisfaction.
Nangong Wan nodded, "That's right, but we should leave here first, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time." Fu Shaoping put away the jade box, and then looked for a way to leave the underground space with Nangong Wan. They searched everywhere in the underground space, not leaving any corner, and every step was full of vigilance, fearing that there were other dangers hidden in the dark.
After some searching, they found a narrow passage on one side of the underground space. The passage was filled with a faint light, which seemed to be a guide of hope, and seemed to lead to the outside. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan walked slowly along the passage. After a while, they finally walked out of the passage and returned to the desert.
At this time, the wind and sand in the desert had weakened, and a strange sunset glow appeared in the sky. The sunset glow was like a gorgeous painting, with red, orange, and purple colors intertwined, so beautiful that it was breathtaking. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan looked at the sky, feeling a lot of emotion in their hearts. They experienced countless dangers on this mysterious space trip, but they also gained a lot. Not only did they obtain precious materials and magic weapons, but they also got this mysterious pill that might help them break through the realm.
"Next, let's find a safe place to practice in seclusion and strive to break through the realm as soon as possible." Fu Shaoping said. Nangong Wan nodded, "Okay, I hope we can use these gains to go to a higher level on the road of practice."
The two smiled at each other, then turned into two streams of light, flew towards the distance, and disappeared in this mysterious desert.
After flying for a long time, they came to a quiet valley. The valley is full of spiritual energy, surrounded by dense forests, and the sun shines on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of golden light spots. The breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if playing a beautiful piece of music. This is an excellent place for retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan found a hidden cave in the valley, and after setting up the defensive formation, they began to practice in seclusion. Fu Shaoping took out the mysterious pill and looked at it carefully. Mysterious runes flowed on the surface of the pill, and those runes seemed to have life, flashing a faint light. It exuded an alluring fragrance, which seemed to come from the fairyland, making people intoxicated. He took a deep breath, took the pill, and then circulated his spiritual power to guide the medicinal power to spread in his body. Suddenly, a powerful force broke out in his body, and he only felt that the meridians in his body were being impacted by a hot current, as if they were about to be broken. The pain was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, but he clenched his teeth and endured the pain.
Fu Shaoping clenched his teeth and ran the technique with all his strength, gradually integrating this power into his spiritual power. As time went by, he felt that his strength was constantly improving, and he was getting closer and closer to the bottleneck of breaking through. However, breaking through was not easy. He could feel a strong resistance hindering him. If he was not careful, he might fail. The resistance was like a solid wall, standing between him and the breakthrough. He kept attacking the wall. Every attack put a huge pressure on his body, but he never gave up.
On the other side, Nangong Wan was also working hard to cultivate. She refined the magic weapons and materials she obtained this time, and with the help of the power of these treasures, she continued to improve her spiritual power. Her cultivation path was also full of challenges, and every breakthrough required great efforts. She sat in the cave, and the spiritual power around her gathered towards her like a vortex. Her body was wrapped in spiritual power, as if integrated with the surrounding environment. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and each drop of sweat was shining, which was a testimony to her hard work.

During the days of retreat, time seemed to stand still. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan were immersed in cultivation and forgot everything in the outside world. They constantly fought against the power in their bodies and constantly broke through their limits. Finally, after several months of hard practice, Fu Shaoping was the first to feel the opportunity for a breakthrough.
His spiritual power surged wildly, and the spiritual energy around him began to gather towards him. The air in the cave seemed to be ignited, making crackling sounds. Fu Shaoping shouted loudly and hit the barrier that was blocking him with all his strength. "Boom!" With a loud noise, he finally broke through the bottleneck and entered a new realm. His body seemed to be baptized by a powerful force, and every cell was full of vitality. He could feel that everything around him became clearer, as if he could see through all the mysteries between heaven and earth.
After the breakthrough, Fu Shaoping felt more powerful than ever before. His spiritual power was more powerful, and his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth was more profound. He opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, which seemed to penetrate the darkness and illuminate everything. Then he looked at Nangong Wan who was still practicing on the side, and his heart was full of expectations.
After a few more days, Nangong Wan finally completed her practice. She slowly opened her eyes, and her eyes flashed with a lively light, which was as bright as a star. She felt the powerful breath of Fu Shaoping after his breakthrough, and smiled slightly: "Congratulations, Shaoping."
Fu Shaoping stepped forward and held Nangong Wan's hand: "Wan'er, let's work hard together, and there is still a long way to go in the future." Nangong Wan nodded, and the two hugged each other. Their figures in the cave seemed particularly warm, as if nothing in the world could separate them.
After walking out of the cave, they felt the more intense spiritual energy in the valley. After this closed-door practice, their strengths had made a qualitative leap, and they were full of confidence in the future path of practice. (End of this chapter)
