Although having inflicted damage on the two savage unicorns through stratagem just now, this was not a long-term solution. Moreover, given their thick hides, minor injuries had no effect whatsoever.
“Senior Sister, do you know the weakness of the savage unicorns?” Ye Fei asked urgently.
“Their weakness is their long horn!” Gu Ningyan replied, her attention divided as she fought intensely. “As long as you pull out their long horn, they will lose their combat strength!”
“Alright, I understand!” Ye Fei exclaimed. “So that’s how it is! Little fellows, watch this!”
With knowledge of the savage unicorns’ weakness, Ye Fei immediately changed his tactic. He decided to once again leverage his superior movement techniques, ascend to the back of a savage unicorn, and with one swift motion, pull out its long horn.
“Xuantian Art, Third Stance!” Ye Fei roared. He resolved to first use his cultivation technique to pose a significant threat and disruption to the two savage unicorns. Ye Fei unleashed a barrage of sword energy, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy and channeling it all into his long sword. Under the successive attacks, the two savage unicorns were indeed affected. The smaller one, in particular, began to panic, desperately fending off the wildly flying sword energy.
It was at this moment! Ye Fei swiftly landed on the back of the smaller savage unicorn. His gaze sharpened, and he gripped its long horn with both hands! The smaller savage unicorn immediately began to thrash wildly, attempting to shake off the uninvited guest on its back. Despite its frenzied shaking, Ye Fei held onto its horn with all his might! He gritted his teeth, remaining unyielding. The disadvantage was now on the smaller savage unicorn, not Ye Fei.
The smaller savage unicorn, seeing that it could not dislodge Ye Fei, let out a distressed cry and turned to the other savage unicorn, which was still struggling against the sword energy, for help. The other savage unicorn responded with a roar, its eyes, larger than footballs, turning scarlet as it fixed on Ye Fei. It then redoubled its efforts, roaring and breaking free from the sword energy Ye Fei had created, charging towards Ye Fei’s location.
“Oh no, there’s no more time!” Ye Fei’s heart tightened. “I can’t delay any longer!” He exerted force with both hands and, with a mighty tug, pulled out the smaller savage unicorn’s long horn!
The intense pain caused the smaller savage unicorn to collapse to its knees, still trying to shake Ye Fei off its back! However, Ye Fei lowered his dantian, applied more force, and pulled out the partially exposed horn completely!
At that very moment, the other savage unicorn arrived before Ye Fei! Ye Fei, clutching the horn, dodged the other savage unicorn’s attack. After tumbling on the ground a few times, he sprang up with a clang. He then used the smaller savage unicorn’s horn as a weapon.
“Beast, you saw your companion’s fate just now!” Ye Fei declared. “Now it’s your turn! Come on!” Ye Fei felt the bottleneck within him loosen significantly. He estimated that after this battle, his cultivation would surely break through to another level.
“Ha!” Ye Fei engaged the remaining savage unicorn in combat once more. It had to be said that this savage unicorn’s strength far surpassed that of the smaller one. Moreover, his previous actions had thoroughly enraged this savage unicorn.
The savage unicorn charged forward violently towards Ye Fei. As it drew closer, Ye Fei immediately unleashed his full strength and clashed with it again.
“Xuantian Art, Third Stance!” Ye Fei dared not be careless. He unleashed his most powerful move and confronted the savage unicorn head-on. After the fierce battle, not only was the savage unicorn covered in wounds, but Ye Fei was also wounded all over.
Ye Fei managed to stay on his feet, leaning on his long sword for support. The previous battle had drained him immensely; nine-tenths of his internal energy was depleted. He wasn’t even sure he could withstand another attack from the savage unicorn. However, things always tended to move in the direction one least desired.
With a clang, just as Ye Fei was resting, the savage unicorn, ignoring its injuries, let out a furious roar and charged again!
“Not good!” Ye Fei gritted his teeth. “Beast, I’ll fight you to the death!” He laboriously raised his long sword again, assuming an offensive posture. This time, however, the savage unicorn had become smarter. Using a feint, it seized an opening and thrust its sharp tusks into Ye Fei’s chest from behind.
Ye Fei spat out a large mouthful of blood again. Sensing dire peril, Ye Fei endured the excruciating pain, grabbed the horn that had not yet pierced his vital organs, gritted his teeth, and with a forceful tug, painfully wrenched it out. He then quickly used silver needles to seal the bleeding wound.
“Junior Brother, I’m sorry. It’s my fault that you suffered!” Gu Ningyan rushed over, having just finished dealing with one savage unicorn. Seeing Ye Fei covered in blood, her heart ached.
“Senior Sister, I’m alright, I can still hold on!” Ye Fei reminded her. “This savage unicorn is severely wounded. Quickly finish it off!”
“Alright, Junior Brother, you rest. Leave the rest to me!” Gu Ningyan stepped in front of Ye Fei and launched an assault on the wounded savage unicorn. The severely injured savage unicorn showed signs of retreating, but how could Gu Ningyan let it escape?
“Beast, how dare you injure my Junior Brother, take your life!” Gu Ningyan’s fierce attacks quickly pushed the savage unicorn into a corner. However, at this critical juncture, the savage unicorn unleashed astonishing combat power. It let out mournful cries and charged at Gu Ningyan again with its long horn.
The impact sent shockwaves. Gu Ningyan found herself slightly on the defensive.
