Chapter 54: A Furious Golden Rhino

Furious Golden Rhino, another level-four beast!

If this beast charged with its full impact, even Dark Burst Realm cultivators had to take full caution.

Crunch, crunch, crunch!

When the hoof of the rhino landed on the ground, the stones burst and splattered into pieces.

The young cultivators quickly made way for this beast as soon as Yuan Lianyao told them to do so.

“Yu Yuan! Get out of the way!” Yuan Ting screamed.

“I did!”

Yu Yuan kept moving toward the edge of the road, but the furious rhino seemed to be adjusting its position so that it could hit him.

The distance between the two quickly shortened!

“Damn it!”

Yu Yuan was a little irritated by this beast. With his strength right now, he would die almost instantly upon impact with this rhino.

He glanced around to look for a solution.

Yuan Lianyao also saw something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted, “Yan Lu!”

The man standing on the back of the Furious Golden Rhino suddenly got back to his senses after hearing someone calling his name.

His sight turned from the Luan to Yu Yuan.

The rhino seemed to be gaining speed every second!

Seeing that he had nowhere to go, Yu Yuan got closer to Yuan Lianyao.

As a result, the path of the rhino aimed toward them both.

“You this bastard!”

While yelling, Yuan Lianyao quietly used her spiritual power and released her lotus flowers to shield them in the front.

“My apologies sister, but you are the only one among us that can withstand an attack from a Furious Golden Rhino.”

Yu Yuan shamelessly hid behind the woman, making Yuan Lianyao his shield.

At this moment, he couldn’t think of a better way.

“Get your filthy little hands off me!” Yuan Lianyao was mad.

“No, I’m scared that you would run away without me.” Yu Yuan clutched on to her dress tightly with no intention of letting go anytime soon.

With her speed, it would be easy for Yuan Lianyao to dodge this charge.

“Bastard!”

Despite her anger, Yuan Lianyao still flicked her fingers, and one of the lotus flew out.

Looked like she decided to act first.

“Stop!”

Just as that happened, the young man on the back of the rhino stomped his feet suddenly.

The violently dashing rhino miraculously opened its eyes wider and abruptly stopped moving.

From the momentum of the charge, two deep traces were left on the hard ground behind them.

The rhino curiously looked at Yu Yuan, as if trying to figure out why it was attacking Yu Yuan just then.

“Huff!”

The lotus flowers that were released by Yuan Lianyao also seized their movement in mid-air just before the collision.

“Mayoress Yuan, it was my bad just then.” Yan Lu frowned, and said, “Is that kid behind you also from the Yuan Clan?”

He didn’t attempt to hide the scornful look on his face.

What kind of man hid behind a woman for protection?

“No, he is from the Yu Clan of the Dark Moon City.” Yuan Lianyao replied, turning her head to stare at Yu Yuan. “Can you let go now?”

“Don’t be mad at me, sister. I’m scared out of my mind already.” Yu Yuan chuckled and walked away from her slowly, “Hey you, Yan right? If you don’t know how to train your pet, then don’t bring it out to show off! If it wasn’t for my quick reaction, that animal would have killed me!”

“Brother Yu is amazing.” Zhao Yafu praised. “He dares to confront Yan Lu directly!”

Yu Feifei was a little scared. “That guy is from the Yan Clan right?”

“Yes. He is Yan Lu, one of the five new moons of the empire.” Zhao Yafu explained quietly, “A very arrogant but powerful person.”

“I see,” Yu Feifei whispered. “Will he try to beat up my brother?”

“For now, no. But that might not be true when we get into the Forbidden Land.” Zhao Yafu said.

“I’ll take care of my own beast!” Yan Lu frowned. “Even without Mayoress’s interference, I can still stop it in time.”

“So you purposefully used your beast to scare me?” Yu Yuan’s face turned cold.

“I just want to know why it is going for you. That’s all.” Yan Lu snorted. “Even if this beast is in a state of violence, it still will not target anyone specifically for no reason. There must be something on you that made it uncomfortable.”

Yu Yuan said, “How come I don’t know?”

“Forget it.” Yan Lu didn’t want to waste more time, and cupped his hands toward Yuan Lianyao, apologizing, “I’m in a hurry right now. See you next time.”

The rhino raised its feet again and headed to the Forbidden Land.

“Oh, by the way, what is your name? Will you be going to the Forbidden Land to train as well?”

Just as the rhino passed Yu Yuan and Yuan Lianyao, he suddenly turned his head to ask.

“I’m Yu Yuan from the Dark Moon City.” Yu Yuan said with a smile.

“Yu Yuan… Dark Moon City…” Yan Lu muttered. Then he suddenly thought of something and said, “Lin Zhuyun’s fiance?”

“That’s me.” Yu Yuan said.

“Interesting,” Yan Lu nodded slightly, and whispered, “Why would the Lin Clan choose such a coward for a fiance? Seems like this year’s Forbidden Land exploration will be fun.”

When he spoke, the speed of the rhino gradually accelerated.

Before long, he disappeared from everyone’s eyes.

“Furious Golden Rhino…”

Yu Yuan looked at the golden rhino and said, “It seems that it can smell better when in a violent state.”

“What did you say?” Yuan Lianyao asked in confusion.

“Nothing.” Yu Yuan became more interested in this event and asked, “By the way, are spirit beasts allowed in the Forbidden Land?”

“Of course not.” Yuan Lianyao looked at him like an idiot, “What do you think will happen when beasts like the Luan and Furious Golden Rhino get into the Forbidden Land with wimps like you?”

“Oh.” Yu Yuan seemed to be saddened by the news, “What a pity.”

“Don’t tell me you were planning to do something to that rhino!” Yuan Lianyao said with concern, “I advise you to dispose of this idea on this instant. That rhino has been with Yan Lu since he was just a kid. If you dare to harm that animal, Yan Lu will not let you go easily.”

“Is he better than Lin Zhuyun or more annoying than Su Yan?” Yu Yuan asked, “Or is he harder to defeat than my maid?”

Yuan Lianyao didn’t know how to answer that question, so she said, “Please keep those naughty thoughts to yourself while you are in there. I won’t clean up the mess you make again.”

After hearing Yu Yuan say that, she began to worry about those who participated in the event this year.

Those who died recently in the Dark Moon City, Yin Jue, Lu Xun, and the Huang Clan were killed directly or indirectly by Yu Yuan.

Even a Yin God, An Ziqing, left in vain.

It was way too early to decide if Yan Lu ran into Yu Yuan in the Forbidden Land who would win.

…

As he approached the arch, the Furious Golden Rhino finally slowed down.

The hoofs of the rhino stopped cracking the ground beneath it as well.

Yan Lu was using a secret method to communicate with this level-four beast since a beast of this level could not yet speak in human language.

However, simple as it was, it still had the ability to process with its brain.

Yan Lu clung to its rhino’s back.

“Fear?”

“You are irritated by him because of fear? So that’s why you want to get rid of him in the first place?”

“What does he have that makes you scared?”

After a long time, Yan Lu straightened up and looked behind him.

“He’s just a kid from the Yu Clan of the Dark Moon City. If I see right, he is only at the Meridian Establishment Realm!”

Even as he said so, he completely put away his contempt and regarded Yu Yuan as his strong opponent in this event!

“Yu Yuan!”

He trusted in the instincts of his beast that he spent days and nights with.

He knew that as he was now, he might easily be deceived by the surface of things.

But the rhino was never wrong!
