Crack! Crack! Crack!

The sound of shattering was incessant, and cracks appeared all over the square head of the rock golem.

These cracks interwove densely, emitting faint dark red light.

Then with a "bang," it exploded!

Dozens of steps away, Zhang Yuan retracted the Red Blood Saber, letting out a huge sigh of relief.

The strength of this rock golem was terrifyingly formidable, and its defense and regenerative capabilities were astonishingly high. That last palm strike almost broke his bones, truly bringing him to the brink of danger.

Luckily, Zhang Yuan still had the Red Blood Divine Soldiers as his trump card, otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to deal with it.

But soon Zhang Yuan realized something was wrong.

First, he hadn’t received any information about obtaining Source Material in his vision.

Second, after the rock golem’s head exploded, its body remained standing, and a lot of rubble around was being drawn by an invisible force, gathering around.

The golem’s head was actually regenerating at a visible speed!

The strike from the Red Blood Saber indeed heavily damaged it, but it wasn’t lethal.

This meant the head was not the true weakness of the rock golem!

Zhang Yuan’s ultimate trump card didn’t end the battle as he had hoped for the first time.

And that strike had already exhausted the stored power in the Red Blood Divine Soldiers, rendering a second strike impossible.

Unless driven by his own life essence!

Zhang Yuan quickly dismissed this idea without hesitation.

Since he didn’t know the weak point of the rock golem, using the Red Blood Saber again probably wouldn’t yield a different result.

Simultaneously, he noticed that Su Jingyao, who had just been knocked away by the golem, showed no signs of movement.

She was likely unconscious.

This meant Zhang Yuan’s only teammate couldn’t provide any support for now.

And the golem’s head had already half regenerated, its massive body emitted a deep scraping sound, and its limbs trembled vigorously, seemingly about to regain combat capability.

There wasn’t much time left for Zhang Yuan!

What to do?

Zhang Yuan was well aware that he still had time to escape with Su Jingyao.

With the support of fifteen times his agility, the massive golem wouldn’t be able to catch up with the two of them.

However, doing so would mean abandoning the deserted village outpost, and the Five Elements Circle Array set up by Su Jingyao would be lost.

The loss would be significant indeed.

Though compared to their lives, these losses were insignificant.

Yet Zhang Yuan felt unwilling to give up.

Suddenly, his gaze froze on a nearby rock.

This rock lay across the ground, covered in thick moss and vines, appearing unremarkable.

Because similar large stones could be seen everywhere around the deserted village.

Moreover, what was exposed was likely only a small part, with more of the rock buried deep in the earth.

A daring idea suddenly emerged in Zhang Yuan’s mind.

Without any hesitation, he darted forward and pressed a hand onto the rock.

The next moment, Zhang Yuan activated the storage space of the Brocade-Haired Mouse.

Forcefully collecting this massive rock!

His mind instantly emptied, an enormous surge of spiritual power was drawn out, and his Qi and Blood Value plummeted.

The rock beneath Zhang Yuan’s hand suddenly disappeared.

An enormous pit appeared simultaneously on the ground!

It worked!!

Zhang Yuan hadn’t expected to actually store the rock in the storage space, feeling both surprised and delighted.

But there wasn’t time for thought.

Zhang Yuan swiftly charged towards the rock golem, soaring into the air the moment he approached it.

His right foot heavily stamped on the golem’s body, propelling him higher, and in the blink of an eye, he reached above its head.

Zhang Yuan stepped down again with his right foot, pushing off straight into the sky.

With the dual support of fifteen times agility and the Carefree Travel Body Technique, he ascended into the towering treetop.

Over twenty yards above the ground!

At the moment of reaching the limit, Zhang Yuan released the massive rock he had just stored.

His Qi and Blood Value plummeted once more.

The dozens-of-tons rock, under the planet’s gravity, whistled as it plummeted downwards.

Zhang Yuan, still in the air, suddenly twisted and flipped downwards, catching up with the rock in an instant.

With all his might, he struck the rock with both palms.

Great Stone-Throwing Hand, Earth Splitting Technique!

Bang!

Ten-fold Primordial Celestial Gang True Power, eighteen times the strength augmentation, all infused into this strike.

The massive rock violently destabilized, dramatically increasing its descent speed.

At this time, the rock golem below had regained mobility, its head almost fully restored. It seemed to sense something, turning its head and raising its arm.

But the rock golem’s reaction was still a bit too slow.

Boom!

The falling massive rock, with an overwhelming force, crashed squarely onto its head.

The power of this strike far exceeded what Zhang Yuan could unleash at his maximum.

And surpassed the golem’s capacity to endure!

Its not fully restored square head once again exploded under the rock’s assault, its massive body sagged, and its feet sunk deep into the mud.

Bang!

The massive rock continued onto the golem’s chest, then plummeted to the ground.

The golem’s head was nearly obliterated by this attack, its wavering body barely supported, surface riddled with cracks, densely clustered like a web.

Faint yellow light emanated from within.

In the next moment, a long blade thrust from above into its neck fracture.

The power within the blade erupted fiercely inside the golem!

This was Zhang Yuan’s second strike.

This time, the golem finally couldn’t sustain itself, cracking sounds resonated as its joints fell apart, large chunks of rocky armor and flesh dropped away, collapsing into ruin.

A yellow crystal the size of an orange fell to the ground.

Zhang Yuan landed, immediately spotting this softly glowing crystal stone.

Intuition told him this was the core of the rock golem!

Around the yellow crystal, countless fragments floated silently, converging towards it.

Zhang Yuan’s gaze fixed, he instinctively released the Thousand Threads Net.

Instantly enveloping the crystal within!

And the moment the Thousand Threads Net completely encased the crystal, the surrounding fragments seemed to suddenly lose their power, clattering to the ground, coming to rest.

Zhang Yuan tugged the rope, pulling the Thousand Threads Net along with the crystal into his hand.

He was immediately taken aback.

The crystal weighed several hundred pounds!

In his surprise, Zhang Yuan almost dropped it.

He tightly gripped the Thousand Threads Net, then strode towards where Su Jingyao lay: "Senior Sister Su!"

Su Jingyao lay amidst the brush, her garment tattered and eyes closed, like a flower ravaged by a storm.

Looking pitifully helpless.

She seemed to hear Zhang Yuan’s call, letting out a soft hum as she slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

No harm done!

As a guardian, his primary duty was to protect Su Jingyao.

If she were harmed, it wouldn’t matter if he slew a dozen rock golems; his efforts would be in vain!
