Chapter 2233: Chapter 2233

"No!" Su Zhan exclaimed, but it was already too late.

The force of the punch struck the Sub-Saint Beast, but the beast remained unmoved. Su Yang was instead knocked backward by a powerful force.

The immense power surged through Su Yang's vital organs, causing him to vomit several mouthfuls of blood in midair; the damage was severe.

"Is this the strength of a Sub-Saint?" Su Yang was astonished. His power was already close to that of a Sub-Saint, so why was the gap still so vast?

Seeing the Sub-Saint Beast charging forward, the four Beigong War Gods quickly arrived.

The four had no time for anything else and each took out a Divine Artifact, finally blocking the Sub-Saint Beast.

"What's going on?" Su Yang got up, puzzled. "How did you encounter a Sub-Saint Beast?"

"I don't know either!" Su Zhan was also perplexed. "I was training here and suddenly heard a noise, wondering what was going on. Then, a Heavenly Realm person ran past me, and following him, this Sub-Saint Beast started attacking."

"A Heavenly Realm person?" Su Yang was surprised. "Why is it chasing you then?"

Su Zhan was just as bewildered. "I can't figure it out either. It had nothing to do with me initially, but this Sub-Saint Beast appeared to have gone mad. It stopped chasing that person and kept pursuing me, like I had provoked it. It chased me all the way here!"

Su Yang frowned, instinctively knowing this wasn't simple.

Typically, such Sub-Saint Beasts, are not only powerful but also possess intelligence and don't casually become enemies with humans unless provoked. Otherwise, they wouldn't relentlessly chase a person.

But the Heavenly Realm person provoked it, yet it chased Su Zhan. What is the real situation here?

Su Yang pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Father, what's this scent on you?"

"Scent?" Su Zhan sniffed carefully. "I don't know. Recently, there's been this scent around, and I got some on me. Why?"

"This scent is somewhat similar to that of the Sub-Saint Beast. But the strength shouldn't match this Sub-Saint Beast!" Su Yang frowned. "Could it be because of this scent that it's chasing you?"

"That could really be possible!" Su Zhan pondered, deep in thought. "Could this scent be from a relative of the Sub-Saint Beast, leading it to think I did something to its kin, and that's why it's hunting me?"

Su Yang nodded; this was highly plausible. However, the key issue is why it was so coincidental?

"Is someone framing me?" Su Zhan looked at Su Yang.

Su Yang slowly nodded. It was indeed possible. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?

"People from the Heavenly Realm resort to these despicable means when their strength doesn't match ours?" Su Zhan frowned. If this is the case, he would be less courteous to Heavenly Realm people next time.

"In this Endless Starry Sky, aside from people from one's own realm, others can't be trusted!" Su Yang sighed. This incident further validated that notion.

By now, the battle between those four and the Sub-Saint Beast had reached an intense stage.

Their powers had nearly reached the Sub-Saint threshold, plus they each wielded a Divine Artifact. The battle against one Sub-Saint Beast was evenly matched.

In addition, the three Crystal Skulls, wielding gourds, frequently launched sneak attacks, causing the Sub-Saint Beast to retreat continuously, crying out in pain.

"Don't let it run away!" Beigong War God shouted excitedly. "The Sub-Saint Beast's bones are extremely tough, perfect for crafting many Magic Artifacts. Its hide is also hard, ideal for refining armor. If we can bring this Sub-Saint Beast back to the Human World, we'll surely produce a powerful new generation of warriors!"

The others were equally excited. Sub-Saint Beasts are rare, and if they could hunt one, it would be a treasure trove. Even at their level, they couldn't help but be envious.

Honestly, if Beigong War God and the others didn't each wield a Divine Artifact, they'd likely already be crafting Magic Artifacts from the Sub-Saint Beast's bones. After all, it's a Sub-Saint Beast, whose bone-crafted Magic Artifacts are imbued with some Sub-Saint power, making them formidable.

Beigong War God had already decided; if they capture the Sub-Saint Beast, he'd have to forge a longsword for Lv Donglin. With such a sword, Lv Donglin's advancement would surely accelerate, perhaps soon venturing into the Endless Starry Sky for training.

Su Yang also nodded. At this point, regardless of who's framing Su Zhan, if they can slay the Sub-Saint Beast, it's like being gifted treasures that mustn't be missed.

Su Yang flew over, joining Su Zhan. Together they battled for a day and a night, finally slaying the Sub-Saint Beast.

Looking at the Sub-Saint Beast's corpse, the crowd was thrilled; the trip was truly worthwhile.

"Forget training for now. Let's bring the Sub-Saint Beast's corpse back first!" Beigong War God laughed. "Let's all return together; otherwise, if others from the Eight Realms see it, they might try to steal it!"

The crowd nodded; this was certainly true.

Ordinarily, others wouldn't dare provoke them, but upon seeing the Sub-Saint Beast's corpse, who knows what might happen?

Carrying the Sub-Saint Beast's body, they headed straight for the moon, attracting considerable attention along the way.

Seeing the Sub-Saint Beast's corpse, people were quite envious—many even followed along, hoping for an opportunity.

However, ultimately, they didn't dare act. Su Yang's group's combat prowess was just too strong.

Returning to the moon, the assassins and Martial Champions were equally shocked by the Sub-Saint Beast.

Sub-Saint Beasts are extremely rare. Previously, Ye the Sword Saint had slain one, shocking the Nine Realms.

However, Ye the Sword Saint gifted his kill to Nanji Immortal as gratitude for his mentorship.

This time, the Human World hunted another, enough to once again shake the Nine Realms.

"Sub-Saint Beasts are so rare!" The Martial Champion laughed excitedly. "Hey, remember to craft a good Magic Artifact for my grandson from its bones!"

"No need to say!" Beigong War God replied directly, "As his uncle, I'm definitely more concerned than you!"

"Hahaha..." The Martial Champion laughed heartily, "With this Magic Artifact, he might venture into the Endless Starry Sky for training. Bring my grandson over soon; it's been ages since I've seen him!"

The crowd chuckled, knowing that every visit, the Martial Champion couldn't stop talking about his grandson, clearly adoring him.
