The Indomitable Master of Elixirs Chapter 852

Chapter 852: A Brawl (2)

This was an intense brawl. Dozens of men in black were embroiled in a fight with dozens of men wearing bronze-colored devil masks.

From their attire, Ji Fengyan recognized the men in black to be from the same place as those that Gong Zhiyu had brought to Fu Guang City earlier. Clearly, the men in black were troops from Zhai Xing Lou. In which case, the devil-masked men fighting the men from Zhai Xing Lou must be from Yan Luo Dian.

However, Ji Fengyan thought it strange that although the men from Yan Luo Dian outnumbered those from Zhai Xing Lou, from what she could see, the men from Yan Luo Dian were being forced to defend themselves as the men from Zhai Xing Lou forced them to retreat step by step.

The men from Yan Luo Dian who were on the battlefield had naturally noticed what Ji Fengyan had observed.

“You from Zhai Xing Lou, don’t go too far. We clearly killed this Rhinoceros Beast. Who are you to seize it!” The leader of the devil-masked men realized that circ.u.mstances were against him. He immediately increased the distance between himself and his opponent and reproached them coldly.

But…

The men from Zhai Xing Lou found their opponent’s censure incredibly funny.

“So what if you killed it? What kind of place do you think the Free Valley is, that you talk about being first or second? Don’t forget that in this place, whoever has the best fighting skills calls the shots. Even if you killed the Rhinoceros Beast, we have seen it now. If you have the ability, you can take it away from under our nose. If you don’t have the ability, then you better scram, rather than lose both the Rhinoceros Beast and your lives.” A man from Zhai Xing Lou raised his chin slightly and looked disdainfully at his opponents. Their censure clearly did not bother him.

How could the devil-masked men be unaware of what Zhai Xing Lou had said?

No rules existed in the Free Valley. Whoever was the strongest made the rules.

In terms of strength, Yan Luo Dian and Zhai Xing Lou were on par. This time, more men from Yan Luo Dian had entered the Forest of Freedom than those from Zhai Xing Lou. Under normal circ.u.mstances, they would not have been worried about Zhai Xing Lou trying to seize their goods, but…

Unfortunately, they had just experienced an intense fight.

A snow white figure lay under a large, fallen tree, near the heart of the dispute.

It was a completely snow-white, horse-like animal. However, on the animal’s head grew a sharp horn in the shape of a screw. Its entire body was covered with wounds, however, the blood that flowed from its wounds were silvery white… on its belly was a gaping, mangled wound and its damaged organs could be vaguely seen through the opening. It had not yet stopped breathing, but it lay gasping on the ground. Its eyes that were half closed from weakness showed a faint ice blue color. It watched despairingly as the two troops fought for ownership.

The Rhinoceros Beast was a type of a rare beast that had only existed in the ancient past. Legend had it that the blood of the Rhinoceros Beast could nourish all kinds of life, make withered flowers bloom again, and neutralize any kind of toxin or curse. But rarest of all was the Rhinoceros Beast’s heart. Its heart not only increased a person’s strength manifold, it could also extend his lifespan and give him immortality.

However, this beast only existed in legends. It had vanished from the world nearly ten thousand years ago. Legend had it that the Rhinoceros Beast was an emblem of light and the messenger of the G.o.ds. Its life was a gift from the G.o.ds, and to hunt any of the Rhinoceros Beasts would cause one to be abandoned by the G.o.ds and isolated from the brightness of the world.
