Chapter 30

"Hmm?"

Almost in the blink of an eye, the one-eyed giant appeared on the hill, his gaze sweeping around. Seeing the dead Li family black-clad guards on the ground, his expression suddenly turned grim.

"Did you kill all these people?"

The one-eyed giant turned his head, glaring fiercely at Chen Xi, who stood alone in the distance, his expression changing unpredictably.

Chen Xi did not answer but coldly asked, "Are you the purple rhinoceros beast?"

Beast?

The one-eyed giant was taken aback, then suddenly flew into a rage, roaring, "Human child, you dare to call me a beast?"

"Not only do I call you a beast, but I will also kill you today!"

After confirming the one-eyed giant's identity, Chen Xi no longer hesitated. His body darted forward, his fist enveloped in terrifying force, launching a fierce attack on the purple rhinoceros demon.

"A mere innate realm brat dares to show off in front of me, truly courting death!"

Seeing Chen Xi's audacity, the purple rhinoceros demon was thoroughly enraged. He extended his palm, as large as a fan, and fiercely grabbed at Chen Xi's fist.

Indeed, a stupid ox!

Since the moment the Wu steward fled, Chen Xi had been harboring a burning anger with no outlet. Now, seeing the purple rhinoceros demon, he would not hold back. As soon as he decided to attack, he used all his strength. Seeing the purple rhinoceros demon arrogantly trying to grab his fist, a cold smile appeared in his heart.

Bang!

Fist and palm collided, producing a terrifying boom. The air trembled, and the ground beneath their feet cracked under the immense pressure.

This punch combined Chen Xi's formidable physical strength and the terrifying true essence of the eighth level of the innate realm, bursting forth through the Great Collapse Fist, sending the purple rhinoceros demon flying several dozen feet away!

However, to Chen Xi's surprise, the purple rhinoceros demon stabilized himself the moment he landed, completely unharmed.

"Your strength is not bad, but to me, it is still too weak!" The purple rhinoceros demon's single eye revealed a cruel and fierce look, his face filled with venom. "Next, I will show you what a true innate realm demon is!"

As he spoke, a surge of demonic aura erupted from the purple rhinoceros demon. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a giant rhinoceros, over thirty feet tall, with thick, purple-brown skin. His massive body resembled a small mountain. In front of him, Chen Xi was like an ant, not even reaching his knee. Most shockingly, on his thick neck, he had two enormous heads.

Roar!

The purple rhinoceros demon, restored to his beast form, let out a roar that echoed like thunder, shaking the entire area for dozens of miles. Hearing the sound, various beasts in the Spirit Peak Lake raised their heads in fear, trembling.

Demonic aura surging to the sky?

Chen Xi felt no fear, but a boiling, lava-like fighting spirit surged through his body. Killing such an opponent would elevate his martial arts cultivation to a new level!

"Boy, if you only know how to swing those two ridiculous fists, you will end up as my appetizer today!"

Amidst a wild, maniacal laugh, the purple rhinoceros demon lifted his massive hooves, like mountain pillars, and stomped down from the sky, directly toward Chen Xi.

Boom!

The air shattered with a piercing sound, as if this stomp had created a hole in the void. Before even touching Chen Xi, he could sense its power.

Bang!

Chen Xi leaped up, his fist glowing with blinding true essence, smashing into the purple rhinoceros demon's massive hoof. It left only a slight indentation, causing minimal damage. Chen Xi quickly retreated.

Rumble!

The earth shook violently, cracking in numerous places, and at the center of the cracks, a large, deep pit appeared.

"Useless. My purple rhinoceros clan is naturally invincible in defense, and I have undergone thousands of years of training, reaching an extremely high realm in my physical body. If you were a Purple Mansion Sword Immortal, I might have been wary. Unfortunately, you are just a child who knows a bit of boxing, hahaha..."

Seeing Chen Xi dodge in a狼狈 manner, the purple rhinoceros demon couldn't help but laugh out loud. He stomped the ground with his hooves and charged at Chen Xi, who was like an ant, once again.

"This stupid ox has an extraordinary strength, and I have no divine weapons in hand. To kill him, I must climb onto his body and attack his head with my fists. If I can break through his skin, I might be able to kill him..."

Chen Xi retreated again, running at full speed while frantically thinking in his mind.

"Scared? Trying to run? Hmph, you can't escape!"

The purple rhinoceros demon roared, closely following Chen Xi, moving his massive hooves without regard for anything in his path, crashing through everything.

Crack, crack... Trees as thick as several men's arms crumbled like straw under the purple rhinoceros demon's hooves, collapsing with a loud crash.

Swish!

Chen Xi leaped to the top of a tree, turning to face the charging purple rhinoceros demon.

"Are you waiting to die?" The purple rhinoceros demon laughed triumphantly, stomping down on the tree.

At that moment, Chen Xi's foot touched the tree trunk, using its rebound to launch himself into the air like an arrow, landing steadily on the purple rhinoceros demon's back.

"Get off!"

With Chen Xi on his back, the purple rhinoceros demon suddenly flew into a rage, his massive body shaking violently.

Chen Xi, seizing this rare opportunity, wouldn't let it slip. His feet exerted force, his body rooted like an ancient tree, remaining immovable despite the shaking.

His fists rained down on the purple rhinoceros demon's head at an incredible speed.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Chen Xi's body, tempered by five different star calamities, combined with his condensed and pure true essence, made each punch feel like a ten-thousand-pound hammer. The purple rhinoceros demon's thick, hard head instantly showed deep indentations, but his skin remained unbroken.

"I'll eat you!"

Suddenly, a dense, pungent wind blew, and the purple rhinoceros demon's other head turned, opening its massive mouth, its sharp fangs like swords, aiming to bite Chen Xi.

Come on!

Chen Xi, as if expecting this, sprinted up the purple rhinoceros demon's neck, leaping to the top like a nimble monkey, narrowly avoiding the massive mouth. His right fist, glowing with blinding light, struck the purple rhinoceros demon's eye with lightning speed.

Bang!

The purple rhinoceros demon's thick skin and formidable defense were astonishing, but his eye, as large as a millstone, was extremely fragile. Under Chen Xi's powerful punch, it was instantly shattered, green liquid spraying out.

Roar!

The purple rhinoceros demon screamed in pain, his head shaking wildly.

Seizing this opportunity, Chen Xi landed back on the purple rhinoceros demon's back, striking the deep indentation on his head again.

The purple rhinoceros demon was thoroughly enraged. If he didn't break through his head's defense soon, things could change.

The intense urgency forced Chen Xi to concentrate fully, with only one thought in his mind: break through the skin, break through... He forgot everything around him, even the Great Collapse Fist he had mastered, his mind entering a state of obsession and chaos.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The heavy, thunderous punches, chaotic yet rhythmic, grew stronger with each strike. In Chen Xi's mind, the scenes of his nearly month-long training in the Great Collapse Fist replayed, insights accumulating quietly...

"I will kill you! I will kill you!"

Losing an eye and with Chen Xi clinging to him like a piece of gum, the purple rhinoceros demon was thoroughly enraged, acting like a madman. His massive body, like a mountain, suddenly rose, his back facing down, and he slammed into the ground from the air, aiming to crush Chen Xi.

Buzz!

As the purple rhinoceros demon rose, Chen Xi snapped out of his strange state, his eyes flashing with a strange light. His right fist lifted, the air around him vibrating with visible ripples, and he struck with a buzzing sound.

Rustle...

Cracks appeared on the purple rhinoceros demon's massive head, and with a loud crack, it shattered into countless pieces of flesh and bone, like a rain of blood and bone fragments.

At that moment, the purple rhinoceros demon's massive body fell to the ground with a thud.

"Ugh..."

With one head lost and the other eye injured, the purple rhinoceros demon lay on the ground, emitting a low, painful cry.

Beasts have extremely strong vitality, capable of recovering even if their limbs are severed. However, their heads and hearts are their true weak points. With one head shattered, the purple rhinoceros demon was severely injured.

"Tell me why the Li family pays tribute to you, and I will give you a quick death," Chen Xi said coldly from a distance.

"Even if I tell you, I will still die. Just kill me quickly!" The purple rhinoceros demon said with a venomous look, blood gushing from his severed head, weakening his aura.

"Fine, then."

Chen Xi walked forward and mercilessly struck the purple rhinoceros demon's remaining head, turning it into a pool of blood and flesh.

A demon that had cultivated for thousands of years was thus completely slain.

"Truly worthy of the second level of the Great Collapse Fist—crushing stone to powder. Although it couldn't turn this stupid ox's head to dust, its power is still beyond imagination."

Chen Xi silently experienced the changes in the Great Collapse Fist's power, a sense of awe rising in his heart. "Senior Ji Yu was right; martial techniques are indeed refined and strengthened in life-and-death battles. I wonder what the third level of the Great Collapse Fist will be like..."

Killing the two-headed purple rhinoceros demon allowed Chen Xi to vent his anger and rage. More importantly, he had reached the second level of the Great Collapse Fist, making him unafraid of any opponent at his level.

"This stupid ox has been cultivating for over two thousand years; I wonder if he has any valuable items..."

Swish!

Chen Xi instantly appeared beside the purple rhinoceros demon's massive corpse, grabbing the thick skin and tearing it open along the severed head.

After a while, an unremarkable storage ring fell to the ground.
