Chapter 67: Bloodhoof Minotaur

Bang!

The earth shook, and Mu Yi staggered before standing firm.

The invisible shockwave took effect not only physically but also mentally.

Affected by War Stomp!

Triggered forced will save!... Will save passed!... You successfully resisted the imbalance effect of War Stomp!... You successfully resisted the dizziness effect of War Stomp!...

Mu Yi glanced at the Zongwang Panel; this kind of physical and mental double strike was something he'd never encountered before.

However, for him, special mental attacks were hard to be effective.

Although he lacked the monk's steadfast will of a calm mind, his perception attribute near the mortal limit granted him strong willpower, and combined with his previously chosen profession expertise, his fighting spirit was high, making ordinary mental attacks hardly effective on him.

Maen Bloodhoof looked at Mu Yi with some doubt, his gaze turning solemn. Since defeating the ancestor spirit and inheriting the ancestor totem's power, he hadn't encountered an opponent who could directly withstand his War Stomp for a long time.

Savage Charge!

Maen Bloodhoof launched a sudden charge, pressing forward like a dark cloud!

Bang!

Mu Yi's hand gripping the formation blade trembled slightly.

Monster!

Mu Yi looked at the distance he'd retreated, couldn't help cursing inwardly, although he had guessed his twelfth opponent would be a big trouble.

But thinking of the outcome of being insta-killed in one blow in the Soul Forging Trial, he still chose arena combat over the Soul Forging Trial.

But he didn't expect the opponent to be this troublesome.

That strike just now, he had taken a Bear Strength Potion, activated all his talent buffs, and even poured in a third of his inner strength.

It was enough to cleave the previous Half-Dragon chieftain away.

As a result, not only did he fail to cleave the opponent away, he himself almost got blown away by the opponent.

At the point where their forces collided, even layered cracks appeared.

Maen Bloodhoof shook his head; the recent force collision left him slightly dizzy.

But more than that, he was excited.

As expected of Zongwang, indeed he could meet opponents not found in the mundane world.

He is the son of Bloodhoof, and from birth he was endowed with the pride and responsibility of the Bloodhoof Tribe.

The ancestor blood flowing in his body granted him innate divine power beyond the mortal, and when this power received the totem's enhancement, it burst forth with splendid radiance.

He had earned the title of hero, becoming the next chieftain of the Bloodhoof Tribe's Minotaur.

In his region, whether giant beasts or other tribes' beastman chieftains, in contests of strength he had no rival.

Today he actually felt defeat in strength, which greatly shocked him.

After the collision, both he and Mu Yi retreated some distance, but he retreated several steps more than Mu Yi, undoubtedly proof of his loss of strength.

Come fight!

Maen Bloodhoof bellowed to the heavens and also drew his weapon, a battle axe flashing with cold light.

Mu Yi looked at the heavy, cold-light flashing battle axe in the minotaur's hand, and he could be certain it was at least a legendary weapon, possibly of better quality than his own.

Moreover, its style highly fused with Maen Bloodhoof's style clearly showed that it was something he brought with him before entering Zongwang.

Comparing people to people makes one angry to death!

Born in the Transcendent Plane, they indeed could get a big head start, but the fact that they can now stand in the same arena proves he's already catching up to those guys.

Boom! Maen Bloodhoof didn't give Mu Yi much time to sigh, his battle axe heavily striking the ground.

A visible yellow shockwave, covering most of the arena, rushed toward Mu Yi at great speed.

Triggered forced will save!... Will save passed!... You successfully resisted the imbalance effect of the Vibration Wave!... You still take damage from the Vibration Wave!

Mu Yi felt a tightness in his chest; this thing's range was truly too broad and its speed too fast, leaving him no space to dodge, only able to take it head-on.

However, such large-area AOE damage usually isn't too high, which was within his expectations.

Just taking hits without striking back isn't Mu Yi's style; he suddenly accelerated toward the minotaur, his formation blade crackling with thunder, advancing with unstoppable force to slash at the minotaur.

Maen Bloodhoof saw Mu Yi approaching like a phantom and instinctively unleashed War Stomp; for those frail, agile warriors, being stepped on by War Stomp meant their doom in the next moment.

Yet Mu Yi's movement showed no effect at all, letting Maen Bloodhoof realize his opponent was no longer those weaklings.

However, this instinctive reaction had already left him with no further options.

Bang!

A huge impact sound rang out!

The minotaur tried to block Mu Yi's attack, but the thunder attached to the formation blade directly contacted and conducted into the minotaur's body, causing his form to fall into paralysis.

Time Confusion!

Mu Yi didn't want to give the minotaur even a moment's respite, forcibly activating Time Acceleration, he traced a fierce arc in midair and directly beheaded the minotaur.

Won!

Mu Yi exhaled a breath; using the threefold axe he'd summed up from his strengths, it indeed achieved a killing effect, the whole process so smooth it even made him doubt life.

However, just as Mu Yi was about to withdraw from the fight, he suddenly felt a clear malice coming from behind.

His head was cut off, yet he wasn't dead?

Mu Yi hastily turned and raised his formation blade to block, but it was of little practical value; Maen Bloodhoof swung his battle axe in a move like splitting Mount Hua, slamming Mu Yi straight into the arena floor.

The arena's solid floor underwent severe deformation under the violent force, the earth's power responded in kind to the minotaur, incredible power caused the arena to crack, even beginning to collapse.

However, at the moment Maen Bloodhoof's second heavy strike landed, Mu Yi had already vanished from the pit, his whole body ablaze with fire, opening distance from Maen Bloodhoof.

Hhh~ Intense pain was eroding Mu Yi's spirit; that heavy blow had even severely damaged his viscera, his bones and muscles nearly torn apart inch by inch.

Were it not for the Blazing Inferno repairing his body at full power, he now wouldn't even have the ability to stand.

But the cost of the Blazing Inferno burning is his stamina; just standing now feels extremely taxing.

He paid an absolute price for his carelessness.

The minotaur actually possessed the ability to resurrect, something Mu Yi had completely not anticipated; to the point that even now he is unwilling to believe that such a ghostly ability would appear on an Apprentice Rank opponent.

However, the facts lay before him, leaving him no choice but to believe.

Fortunately, this power does not seem so easy to master; at this moment, the minotaur chieftain's pupils turned white, completely transforming into a raging beast.
