She immediately retreated, then lunged forward, her sword slashing towards the Heavenly Flame Beast's chin.
Roar!
Seeing this human daring to confront it head-on, the Heavenly Flame Beast roared again in anger.
With another furious roar, the sound vibrated so intensely that people couldn't help but cover their ears.
Caught off guard, Feng Ruoqin was also affected. Her ears buzzed, feeling as if they would soon go deaf.
Ye Fei, who had been preparing for a surprise attack on the Heavenly Flame Beast, had no choice but to pause.
After the roaring subsided, Feng Ruoqin once again raised her sword and charged.
This time, Feng Ruoqin utilized her superior agility, aiming to blind the Heavenly Flame Beast by piercing its eyes.
"Beast, behold my strike!"
Feng Ruoqin then vanished from the Heavenly Flame Beast's sight in an instant.
Compared to humans, demonic beasts possessed high intelligence, but they were far from being their match.
Seeing the human disappear, the Heavenly Flame Beast immediately let out furious roars in all directions.
However, Feng Ruoqin and Ye Fei, who had been prepared, were not affected by the sonic waves of the roars.
Yet, Ye Fei's cultivation was too low; he likely wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Therefore, the most crucial task was to finish this beast as quickly as possible.
"Ye Fei, hurry and leave! You're no match for this beast!"
When Feng Ruoqin saw Ye Fei actually entering the fray to help her, she was greatly alarmed!
She then shouted again.
However, Ye Fei ignored her and continued his assault, heading straight for the Heavenly Flame Beast's eyes!
If they could find a way to blind the Heavenly Flame Beast, it would be extremely advantageous for them.
"Listen to me, let's combine our efforts to wound the Heavenly Flame Beast's eyes!"
"If it can't see us, then dealing with it will be much easier!"
Ye Fei suggested directly.
After a few seconds of contemplation, Feng Ruoqin finally relented and followed Ye Fei's advice.
She then instructed,
"Alright, you distract it, and I'll make the strike!"
"Don't push yourself too hard!"
To reassure her, Ye Fei agreed.
"Don't worry, I will!"
"I'm not going to throw my life away here!"
Ye Fei said calmly.
"Prepare!"
As he finished speaking, Ye Fei led the charge, sword in hand, lunging directly towards the Heavenly Flame Beast's head!
The Heavenly Flame Beast, which had been frenziedly searching for them, now saw them deliberately revealing themselves. With even more rage in its eyes, it roared and charged forward rapidly.
Its thick, heavy paws struck the ground, emitting dull thuds.
If it landed a blow, their bodies would likely be flattened like paper.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Flame Beast's massive size meant its agility was significantly reduced.
Feng Ruoqin was already prepared. Just as the Heavenly Flame Beast's attack was about to hit Ye Fei, he leaped into the air, causing the beast to lunge at nothing!
Roar, roar, roar!
Being toyed with time and again, the Heavenly Flame Beast's fury intensified.
"Beast, is this all you've got?"
"Can't you even deal with me?"
"I suggest you surrender obediently!"
"Then I might even grant you a complete corpse!"
Ye Fei taunted, circling around its flank once more, sword raised to strike.
As a dominant presence in its territory, how could the Heavenly Flame Beast endure such provocation!
With its eyes blood-red, it lunged as if to devour Ye Fei!
To stall it, Ye Fei did not retreat. Instead, he charged forward, confronting the Heavenly Flame Beast directly.
Its sharp teeth were just inches away from tearing into Ye Fei!
It was at this very moment that Feng Ruoqin, fully prepared, transformed into a gust of wind, silently rising to stand on the Heavenly Flame Beast's neck!
With a crisp sound.
Feng Ruoqin's sword plunged deep into the Heavenly Flame Beast's right eye!
Roar, roar, roar.
The Heavenly Flame Beast immediately let out a pained roar.
At this point, it could no longer concern itself with Ye Fei.
All its attention was now focused on Feng Ruoqin, who had wounded its eye.
Damn it!
The Heavenly Flame Beast began to thrash violently.
The force was so great that Feng Ruoqin, perched on its back, nearly vomited.
But Feng Ruoqin gritted her teeth, grabbed the beast's fur with her left hand, and exerted more force with her right, driving the sword deeper!
Roar, roar, roar!
This time, the Heavenly Flame Beast's eye was truly beyond saving!
The Heavenly Flame Beast roared again with renewed ferocity.
The moment Feng Ruoqin withdrew her sword, the Heavenly Flame Beast's tail whipped out with immense force, striking Feng Ruoqin's back!
*Puchi*.
The blow was excruciating!
Feng Ruoqin felt a cold sweat break out across her body from the intense pain.
Caught off guard, she was flung from the rampaging Heavenly Flame Beast's back, nearly being stomped under its foot.
Ye Fei quickly raised his sword, drawing the Heavenly Flame Beast's attention once more.
This allowed Feng Ruoqin a brief moment to recover.
However, the eye was indeed the Heavenly Flame Beast's weak point.
With one eye lost, the Heavenly Flame Beast, in a frenzy, pursued Ye Fei relentlessly.
Ye Fei ran ahead, constantly contemplating a strategy to defeat it.
Moreover, after losing an eye, the Heavenly Flame Beast would surely be on higher alert, making a second attempt far more difficult.
Furthermore, Feng Ruoqin was now injured, her strength naturally diminished.
Although the main force was in the rear, by the time they arrived, it would likely be too late.
And the Heavenly Flame Beast had yet to unleash its ultimate move, putting them in a truly perilous situation.
A single misstep could easily lead to their demise at the jaws of the demonic beast.
However, continuing to evade was clearly not a viable long-term solution.
After circling for a while, Ye Fei still couldn't devise a good plan.
"Ye Fei, I'll distract this beast for you. You seize the opportunity to stab its other eye!"
Having consumed a recovery pill and rested briefly, Feng Ruoqin immediately stood up and shouted to Ye Fei.
"Don't worry, as long as you can finish it within half an hour, I can hold on!"
Feng Ruoqin shouted again.
"I'll listen to you!"
Ye Fei replied.
Then, Feng Ruoqin suddenly rose and, with a few leaps, appeared before the Heavenly Flame Beast!
Seeing the culprit who had blinded one of its eyes, the Heavenly Flame Beast erupted in fury.
The Heavenly Flame Beast's bulky claws swiped towards her!
It seemed intent on tearing Feng Ruoqin to shreds with a single swipe!
Even more terrifying was the fact that the Heavenly Flame Beast's claws were adorned with sharp, fine thorns!
Feng Ruoqin focused all her attention and confronted the Heavenly Flame Beast head-on.
The Heavenly Flame Beast was indeed formidable. After a series of exchanges, Feng Ruoqin was nearly injured multiple times.
Fortunately, her agility was superb, allowing her to narrowly evade each attack.
