Chapter 528
by fanqienovelChapter 528: Rock Giant
As Wang Chen gazed at the newly appeared rock giant, his expression turned grave.
This boss-level giant was undoubtedly the guardian of the Evil Nests, exuding a profound and overwhelming aura that far surpassed that of ordinary magical spirits, even exceeding the Evil Nest master Wang Chen had slain earlier.
This was no opponent to be trifled with!
Just as Wang Chen was deep in thought, the rock giant abruptly launched its attack.
It reached out and seized a massive boulder weighing thousands of pounds, swinging its arm with tremendous force to hurl it directly at Wang Chen.
The rock tore through the air with a deafening whistle, hurtling toward Wang Chen with the speed of an arrow loosed from a bow. A fierce gust of wind blasted against his face in an instant.
If this strike were to land, even with his Invulnerable Vajra body, Wang Chen would be left spitting out three liters of blood!
Without a moment’s hesitation, he leapt into the air, narrowly evading the rock giant’s assault.
The colossal boulder crashed to the ground mere inches from Wang Chen’s feet, gouging out a massive crater upon impact!
But the onslaught was far from over, as the rock giant hurled yet another boulder.
This time, before the rock could even reach Wang Chen, it suddenly exploded mid-air with a thunderous bang, transforming from a single projectile into a barrage of stone bullets, scattering in all directions and sealing off every possible escape route around Wang Chen.
The attack caught Wang Chen completely off guard. With no room to evade, he faced the incoming stone bullets head-on and thrust out his palms.
Heavenly Dragon Vajra Palm!
A lifelike illusion of a Heavenly Dragon materialized behind Wang Chen in an instant, its claws bared and its roar silent yet menacing.
The stone bullets aimed at Wang Chen trembled violently before disintegrating into fine dust.
The residual force of the palm strike surged forward, smashing into the rock giant’s chest with unrelenting power.
Boom!
A dull thud echoed as the rocky armor covering the giant’s chest shattered into countless fragments, scattering in all directions.
The massive creature staggered momentarily but quickly regained its footing.
Simultaneously, rocks from the surrounding mountainside flew up and adhered to the rock giant’s body, swiftly repairing its injuries.
In the blink of an eye, its wounds were fully restored!
Witnessing this, Wang Chen couldn’t help but curse under his breath.
This stone behemoth was proving to be an exceptionally tough nut to crack.
His mindset shifted rapidly, and with a swift movement, he created distance between himself and his opponent. Raising his hand, he unleashed a Sky Thunder.
Crack!
A blinding flash of lightning aspect struck the rock giant just as it prepared to attack again. The giant’s rocky head exploded violently, shattering most of it.
Yet, this did not bring the creature down. Instead, it knelt on its right knee against the rocky ground, seemingly drawing strength from the earth itself. In moments, it absorbed a massive amount of rock, restoring its damaged head to its original state.
“Roar—”
The rock giant was clearly enraged; it suddenly straightened up, two fiery red ghostly flames glowing on its head, and emitted an earth-shattering roar.
In the next moment, the giant lifted its right foot and stomped down heavily.
Boom!
The entire mountain trembled, and all the black nests clinging to the rock wall exploded simultaneously, releasing countless flying insects that rushed toward Wang Chen in the air.
The rock giant spread its arms, grabbing two large stones.
Without any visible preparation, two stone spears formed instantly.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The rock giant shot both makeshift spears simultaneously.
Its power was terrifying; the stone spears created sparks as they cut through the air, flying at an unbelievable speed!
Although Wang Chen reacted quickly, sensing the danger and trying to dodge, he was still struck by one of the spears on his left arm, piercing through the Spirit Light Shield that he had activated.
The sharp spearhead grazed Wang Chen’s arm, tearing his robe and leaving a shallow scar on his skin.
While it did not draw blood, it had indeed injured Wang Chen’s Invulnerable Vajra body.
The strength of that spear was evident!
Although the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method was powerful, it had its limits and was not indestructible.
From a purely strength perspective, the rock giant was clearly superior to Wang Chen!
Understanding this, Wang Chen remained undaunted. He summoned his magical energy and soared high into the air, releasing waves of Fire Crows to sweep away the attacking flying insects in an instant.
At the same time, he approached the rock giant at high speed!
The strength and defenses of this giant were at their peak, whether it was the Sky Thunder or the Fire Crow Technique, or even Chini’s flying sword, all could do very limited damage to it.
Moreover, the rock giant’s self-healing ability was quite troublesome; if he kept his distance and entangled with it, Wang Chen had no confidence in defeating it.
But he couldn’t afford to ignore it.
With such a powerful guardian at a newly formed Evil Nest, if allowed to grow, it would undoubtedly pose a great threat to Wang Chen.
After all, this Evil Nest was only a few dozen miles from his Wei Hall!
The giant must die, the Evil Nest must be destroyed; Wang Chen was determined to eradicate this huge menace.
The rock giant clearly did not expect Wang Chen to dare approach it. Just as it had picked up two rocks to create new spears, it suddenly brought its hands together.
Bang!
A crude stone stick formed from the collision in the rock giant’s hands!
It swung the stone stick at Wang Chen, as if trying to swat a fly.
If Wang Chen maintained his dive, that stick would definitely slam heavily into him!
But his figure disappeared in an instant.
The rock giant swung and missed, while Wang Chen’s figure suddenly reappeared at its right side.
They were now inches apart.
Wang Chen slapped the rock giant’s right rib area.
Compared to the five or six-meter tall rock giant, Wang Chen seemed quite small; his palm looked meager against the thick rocky armor covering the giant’s body.
Moreover, although Wang Chen struck with lightning speed, he did not deliver much force.
After the impact, there was no sound.
However, the massive rock giant shook violently, its movements suddenly stalling, as if its joints had rusted.
Ripples appeared on the surface of its right rib rock armor, and the seemingly indestructible gray-black rocky skin began to melt away, like wax under a fierce fire.
Turning to mud!
What Wang Chen had just performed was a spell he excelled at.
Though it was a Qi Training stage Earth and Stone Technique, in Wang Chen’s hands, it had the effect of turning decay into wonders.
As Wang Chen’s magic energy continuously flowed in, the rock giant’s body started to soften at an astonishing pace, layers of mud falling off like mucus.
It was both shocked and furious, instinctively swinging the stone stick in an attempt to swat Wang Chen away.
But as it turned to move, it lost its balance and fell flat on the ground!
Wang Chen smoothly retracted his hand, but in an instant, a long staff shining with golden light appeared in his grasp.
Concealed Dragon Stick out!
