At this moment, the insect armor on Nirvana's back was completely shattered, and the flesh inside had been torn to shreds. Such an injury, an ordinary guardian beast would likely not endure for long.

Seeing this, Shang Yong no longer paid attention to Nirvana and instead focused his gaze on Chu Chen.

This sudden change left Chu Chen stunned for a long time. He stared at Shang Yong and asked coldly, "Why are you doing this? I just arrived in Black Mist City today, and I haven't offended you, have I?"

Shang Yong sneered and said, "You just arrived in Black Mist City, but you took my second-grade star-raising fruit as soon as you got here."

Chu Chen responded somewhat speechless, "That's nonsense. If Director Wang intended to give you the second-grade star power fruit, why didn't he give it to you earlier?"

Shang Yong was taken aback by this, only then realizing that if the director really intended to give him the second-grade star-raising fruit, he wouldn't have waited until before entering the secret realm to offer it.

Thinking of this, Shang Yong's expression turned extremely grim.

Seeing this, Chu Chen said coldly, "It's just a second-grade star-raising fruit; you don't have to kill me over it."

Shang Yong snorted coldly, "What do you know? I have come this far by relying solely on myself. If I want to become stronger, I have to compete and take what I want."

"What kind of twisted reasoning is that? We've no personal grudge, so why act this way? Besides, I've already used the star-raising fruit. If you leave now, it'll be like nothing happened."

"Haha, do you think I'm a fool? If I leave now, once you exit the secret realm, Wang Tianxiong won't spare me."

Chu Chen's expression remained unchanged as he replied; from the moment the opponent made a move, he was already a dead man to him.

Chu Chen spoke at length with the opponent as a means to buy time for the two beasts.

Though they had drunk a significant amount of monkey wine, absorbing and refining it would still take some time.

Chu Chen pondered slightly and said in a deep voice, "We both come from humble backgrounds, and I don't have anything valuable on me. So why force me?"

"Hmph, why waste breath on so much nonsense? I've made my move; your death is certain. As for whether there are valuables on you, I'll know once I've killed you." Saying this, he signaled the leopard behind him with a glance.

Chu Chen coldly stared at Shang Yong, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Nirvana.

It had completed its limb regeneration, fully recovered from its injuries, and its strength had risen to the second rank Commander Level.

"Rest assured and go," Shang Yong said coldly.

As he spoke, the leopard let out a low growl and lunged towards Chu Chen.

Seeing this, Chu Chen promptly deployed the 'Barrier' in front of him.

Nirvana also sprang into action, its insect legs exerting force as it shot up from the ground.

Shang Yong was only about five meters away from Nirvana; such a short distance left him with no time to react.

The enormous pincers snapped towards his waist.

Seeing this, Shang Yong's face showed horror; he never expected the dying guardian beast to suddenly launch an attack.

However, his combat experience was extremely rich, having brushed with death multiple times; he instinctively leaped backward.

But the pincers were faster; he couldn't avoid them. Faced with life and death, he unleashed his body's potential, raising his right leg to kick at the pincers, using the force to propel himself backward.

Nevertheless, he ultimately underestimated Nirvana's speed; the pincers clamped onto Shang Yong's right leg, and with a fierce shake of its head, Nirvana tore his right leg off.

Shang Yong was flung away, immediately activating the defense function of his communication bracelet, screaming horribly.

Chu Chen internally noted a tinge of regret; Nirvana, as a meat shield-type guardian beast, was ultimately slower. If it were Lei Yao, Shang Yong would already be a corpse.

At this moment, the leopard had reached Chu Chen, its sharp claws smashing through the barrier.

Chu Chen remained calm; he directly activated the defense function of his communication bracelet, and a transparent sphere immediately enveloped him.

"Bang bang"

The leopard's attack speed was swift, but its power was insufficient to shake the defense shield.

After taking a healing pill, Shang Yong, enduring the excruciating pain, said, "First kill his guardian beast."

Upon hearing this, the leopard immediately ceased its attack, flickered, and charged towards Nirvana.

Chu Chen glanced at the pained Shang Yong and mocked coldly, "I gave you a chance, but you failed to cherish it."

Shang Yong glared viciously at Chu Chen, replying, "Enough talk, you will die today." With that, he waved his hand, summoning another guardian beast.

A massive pig-like Star Beast appeared before Shang Yong.

Standing at about two meters tall and four meters long, it was covered in black fur, with two enormous tusks protruding from its mouth, each half a meter long like curved blades.

Seeing this, Chu Chen's expression held little change; with Nirvana's strength, handling two guardian beasts was not difficult.

Nonetheless, the ever-cautious Chu Chen summoned the Slaughter Atlas to check the information on the leopard and wild boar.

The black leopard was called Shadow Swift Leopard, with a quality of Outstanding Level Upper Grade, a realm at Eighth Rank War General Level, belonging to the Agile Attack Type guardian beast.

The wild boar was called Bloodthirsty Wild Boar, with a quality of Elite Level Upper Grade, a realm at Eighth Rank War General Level, belonging to the Strong Attack Guardian Beast.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen seemed to understand why the opponent was so persistent about the second-grade star-raising fruit.

The Bloodthirsty Wild Boar let out a howl, its limbs exerting force as it charged at Nirvana.

The Shadow Swift Leopard circled to Nirvana's rear, forming a pincer attack from front and back.

Faced with this, Nirvana remained calm, advancing on the Bloodthirsty Wild Boar with its insect legs, Earth Rock Armor instantly enveloping its body.

Seeing Nirvana charging, the Bloodthirsty Wild Boar let out an excited low growl; in terms of a charge, it had never lost before.

To it, the ant before it shared the same realm; how could the opponent be its match in a collision?

Chu Chen immediately smirked coldly; this was the power of disguise. If the Bloodthirsty Wild Boar could sense Nirvana's true aura, it wouldn't have charged so recklessly.

Both the Bloodthirsty Wild Boar and Nirvana lowered their heads; tusk and pincers collided instantly.

With a loud "bang," the Bloodthirsty Wild Boar flew back like a broken kite.

The Bloodthirsty Wild Boar's eyes were filled with disbelief.

At this moment, Nirvana was forced back several steps by the immense impact, but it halted its retreat, its insect legs powering forward once more towards the Bloodthirsty Wild Boar.

The Shadow Swift Leopard had already caught up to Nirvana, raising its claws to swipe at Nirvana's abdomen.

It attempted to forcibly stop Nirvana with this method.

But Nirvana showed no intention of stopping, instead speeding up.

"Bang"

Its claws struck Nirvana's abdomen fiercely, but the expected shattering of the insect armor did not occur.

A dull thud sounded, but even the defense wasn't breached.

The Shadow Swift Leopard looked at its claws, bewildered.

Nirvana took advantage of the moment, reaching the Bloodthirsty Wild Boar, its massive pincers clamping onto the opponent's neck.

The Bloodthirsty Wild Boar cried out in pain; Nirvana's eyes showed no trace of compassion as its pincers exerted force, directly snipping off the opponent's head.
