The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 845: My Strength is Unfathomable
Chapter 845: My Strength is Unfathomable
Qiu Hai stroked his chin, trying to recall. After all, he had lived for many years, and some memories had already become muddled.
"How did you win... I really don’t remember."
Arm wrestling?
No, wait, this mythical rhino doesn’t have arms.
Recalling the embarrassing incident from back then, the mythical rhino couldn’t hold back anymore. It stomped its feet, enraged, and reminded, "It was the rope pulling!"
"Right, right! It was the rope pulling!" Qiu Hai immediately remembered, laughing, "Hahaha, big rhinoceros, you were really too funny back then! The rope was tied to your horn, and not long after, you were crying in pain, saying that Ancestor almost pulled your horn right out of your head!"
"Shut up!" The mythical rhino growled in fury and charged toward him.
Qiu Hai quickly shut the door, and Nether Sect disappeared from the spot.
The mythical rhino slammed into thin air.
However, its furious strike was no joke; it damaged part of the city wall.
Nether Sect reappeared in the sky.
Qiu Hai stuck his head out from the door, clicking his tongue, "Tsk tsk, throwing a tantrum now? I’m just stating facts, why get angry? Can being angry change what happened in the past?"
Qiu Hai’s sharp tongue was truly formidable, as it made the mythical rhino tremble with anger, wanting to slam into the Nether Sect and deal with the old man.
Qiu Hai quickly switched positions again, and Nether Sect appeared by the shore.
He stuck out his tongue and said, "Big rhino, your little tricks can’t do anything to me."
The mythical rhino turned and attempted to charge at Qiu Hai again.
Nanli immediately understood that Qiu Hai was trying to lure the mythical rhino back into the sea. Without its leader, the other mythical beasts should be much easier to handle.
But just as she thought this, someone cursed, "Great! Hurry up and leave... hurry up!"
The mythical rhino froze.
It turned its head, its eyes narrowed, realizing why Qiu Hai had been so provocative.
Nanli felt a thousand curses surge through her mind, but then a thought struck her, and she said, "Fate has brought us together again, so why don’t we have another match?"
The mythical rhino scoffed, "Another match? With your current abilities, what makes you think you can compete with me?"
"It’s just a match of strength. If we don’t compete with cultivation, everything is uncertain." Nanli said boldly, not showing any fear.
Qiao Dabao and the others were already trembling in fear.
One person and one beast were on completely different levels—how could they compare strength?
Even Qiu Hai was shocked. Nether Sect appeared next to Nanli.
"Ancestor, have you lost your mind?" he whispered, "Even without using spiritual power, your body and strength now can’t possibly match it."
In her past life, a flick of her finger could win, but in this life, even using all her strength would only lead to defeat.
He looked at Nanli, feeling a wave of sadness.
But Nanli just smiled, "If I don’t try, how would I know?"
She had already made up her mind.
The mythical rhino smiled back, "Fine, I’ll regain my lost dignity! If I win, you’ll become my servant!"
It had always held a grudge against Nanli for winning back then.
Whether or not it ate an inner core to enhance its power was a small matter; the important thing was that it needed to reclaim its dignity, to regain its honor.
Although Nanli was no longer a true deity, humiliating her would bring it great satisfaction.
"Big rhino, don’t go too far!" Qiu Hai scolded.
How could he, the one who cherished Nanli, allow her to become a servant to a mythical beast?
That would mean he would be the servant of the mythical rhino’s servant.
No, that wasn’t happening!
While he tried to dissuade Nanli, to his surprise, she agreed immediately, "Alright, if I win, you’ll become my servant."
Qiu Hai nearly passed out from shock.
"This is truly overestimating yourself."
The mythical rhino laughed darkly, emitting a sonic wave that ordered the other mythical beasts to help draw the sea water back into the ocean.
Today, it wanted to win back its dignity in front of its subordinates, so the scene had to be grand enough.
The ground was wet and muddy, not a suitable place for a match.
But Nanli had her Talisman to assist. She activated it, and the ground instantly dried and flattened.
The rope for the match was made of ancient vines, incredibly tough.
Most of these mythical beasts were amphibious, and under the mythical rhino’s orders, they formed a circle so that they could all witness its victory.
But the moonlight in the sky was insufficient.
The mythical rhino ordered a few of its beasts to make their head jewels shine even brighter.
The cultivators on the crumbling city tower stared in shock.
At this point, the person and the beast had taken their positions.
Nanli grabbed the vine rope and wrapped it twice around her hand, while the mythical rhino, recalling its past embarrassment, didn’t tie the rope to its horn but instead bit down on it with its teeth.
Since Qiu Hai was trapped inside Nether Sect, the job of drawing the line fell to Qiao Dabao.
The distance was much further than a normal tug-of-war match.
After marking the spot, Qiao Dabao looked at Nanli with concern and said, "Nanli, are you really sure you can do this?"
She might get flipped over by the big rhino in an instant.
"I’ve got it under control," Nanli smiled at her. "You go back to the city wall, it’s better to avoid getting hurt later."
Qiao Dabao knew she couldn’t persuade her, so she reluctantly returned to the wall.
Many cultivators were witnessing mythical beasts for the first time. They were already amazed, but what shocked them even more was that someone was about to compete in strength with a mythical beast.
Oh no, Nanli was going to take it on with just one hand—was she underestimating it? She would probably lose in the blink of an eye.
Both sides were ready.
The atmosphere was tense.
The mythical rhino specifically instructed its beasts to cheer for it, to cheer for its victory!
The mythical beasts roared in response.
"Start!" Qiao Dabao shouted, and the match began!
The mythical rhino squinted its eyes and braced itself with all four legs, preparing to exert its force.
But Nanli, with a single hand, yanked back as if playing around and swiftly pulled the mythical rhino’s enormous body!
The mythical rhino quickly exerted force, biting the rope and pulling back.
The mythical beasts were stunned.
The cultivators were shocked.
"Come to me!" Nanli shouted angrily, and with her other hand, she grabbed the vine rope and, in the blink of an eye, dragged the mythical rhino past the long line.
The mythical rhino couldn’t withstand her strength and collapsed with a loud thud. freeweɓnøvel.com
The ground shook.
Dust flew into the air.
A dead silence followed.
The bead’s light shone brightly, and the mythical rhino’s defeat, as well as how humiliatingly it lost, was clear for everyone to see.
"Ancestor is amazing!" Qiu Hai was the first to shout, laughing. "Hahaha, big rhino, who’s the one overestimating themselves now? Who’s the one humiliating themselves?"
The cultivators quickly recovered and started cheering.
They hadn’t expected Nanli, despite her delicate appearance, to have such immense strength!
The mythical rhino took a long time to recover before slowly getting up.
It roared in fury, "This doesn’t count! It doesn’t count! I wasn’t prepared! We’ll have another match!"
