The Water-Repelling Rhinoceros did not linger in battle, breaking through the encircling net with the force of a thunderbolt, its hooves pounding the forest floor with a "dong dong" sound, as it rushed swiftly towards the Longze River.
"Chase!"
Bald Chen shouted angrily, leading the other three late-stage Qi Cultivation Demon Hunters in pursuit.
"Stop them. Leave the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros to me!" Shen Xuan, who was in a state of invisibility, returned to the team and said to Zhao Chunsheng and the others.
"Alright! Fellow Daoist Wen, Fellow Daoist Shi, let's go! Fellow Daoist Xia, you hide behind, a bit further away."
Wen Zijian was the first to reveal himself, summoning the Sun and Moon Dual Wheels, as if he intended to attack the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros, but could not catch up.
Zhao Chunsheng and Shi Xiangdong revealed themselves one after another.
The three of them happened to block the path of Bald Chen and his group of four.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, what is the meaning of this?" Bald Chen and the others stopped, asking with somber faces.
"Hunting the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros! It just ran past!"
Zhao Chunsheng said frustratedly, "We came specially for it! I didn't expect this demon beast to have such power! Couldn't stop it at all!"
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, was it you who drove this Water-Repelling Rhinoceros over here?"
Then, he quickly stepped aside, taking on a manner of courtesy.
However, by this time, the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros had already dashed out of the forest, heading toward the Longze River.

Not to mention that Bald Chen and the others couldn't catch up.
Even if they caught up, near the Longze River, with the ample supplement of water Spiritual Qi, they couldn't handle the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros!
Besides, the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros could leap into the Longze River at any time.
They were not Water Cultivators.
Even for Water Cultivators, in water, they were not a match for the water-attribute demon beast Water-Repelling Rhinoceros!
Bald Chen repeatedly examined Zhao Chunsheng.
"The Rabbit Demon Hunter" acting out of character, there must be a reason.
He didn't believe that Zhao Chunsheng would be so reckless.
He quickly noticed the ready-stanced Wen Zijian.
This was a well-known master among the Demon Hunters.
Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, Gold Attribute, with a complete set of Upper Grade Magical Artifacts Sun and Moon Dual Wheels.
Beside him, Shi Xiangdong also summoned three offensive Puppet Beasts, looking wary.
A Puppet Eagle flew mid-air.
Two Puppet Wolves guarded in front, baring their teeth and snarling.
Then looking at Zhao Chunsheng.
Though he had made way, the Fire Phoenix Saber was held tightly in his hand, emitting traces of scorching aura.
Four against three.
No absolute confidence, yet difficult to make a move.
Moreover, their side had three wounded to care for.
The other side likely had more companions hidden in the dark.
After comparing strengths of both sides, Bald Chen forced a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, rivers and mountains might meet again, until we meet next time!"
They voluntarily retreated, helping up their three injured companions, turned around and left.
After considering the strengths, Bald Chen and his group did not want to engage in further conflict with them.
They were well aware.
The sudden downpour earlier must have been the work of Zhao Chunsheng and the others.
All were experienced Demon Hunters, they could easily tell whether it was a naturally occurring rainstorm or someone casting the Cloud Rain Technique.
Once Bald Chen and his group walked far away.
Zhao Chunsheng chuckled.
"Smart of them!"
His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally eased a little.
If Shen the Talisman Master had been there, if a conflict arose, Bald Chen and the others would surely be defeated!
The problem was, Shen the Talisman Master wasn't there.
He had gone after the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros!
"By the way, can Shen the Talisman Master handle that Water-Repelling Rhinoceros?" Shi Xiangdong asked softly.
A hint of greed flashed in his eyes.
That Water-Repelling Rhinoceros was a big catch!
Worth more than an Iron Armor Crocodile!
"Rest assured! I've known Shen the Talisman Master for many years, I know his temperament well."
"Shen the Talisman Master is even more cautious than I am! He wouldn't act without absolute certainty!"
"If he makes a move, it will surely succeed!"
"Let's hurry and follow, beware of other Demon Hunters!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Together, they rushed towards the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros.
...
At this moment, the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros was running wildly.
The instinct for survival made it exert all its strength.
Soon, it arrived at the edge of the Longze River.
Without hesitation, it leapt right in.
A miraculous scene occurred.
The water of the Longze River automatically parted, creating a dry path for the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros.
Following behind was Shen Xuan, who secretly marveled.
He had intentionally let the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros into Longze River.
"The Water-Repelling Rhinoceros is not a water-dwelling demon beast; I should have a greater advantage in Longze River."
"Moreover, it also makes it easier to get rid of interference from other Demon Hunters."
Shen Xuan continuously performed the Invisibility Technique, Concealing Breath Technique, and Insight Technique.
Logically, the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros should not be able to perceive his presence.
But the demon beast's instincts and intuition made it sense danger.
Under a hundred zhang of river water.
The water automatically parted.
The Water-Repelling Rhinoceros stepped on Spiritual Light, running swiftly as if on land.
Behind it, Shen Xuan performed Water Control Technique, following at a measured pace.
He could clearly sense the subtle changes in water flow within fifteen zhang.
"Almost ready, swift attack to avoid prolonged chaos."
The spiritual power within him suddenly erupted.
Shen Xuan shot forward like an arrow, rapidly overtaking the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros.
Although the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros was extremely fast after using its water-repelling innate divine power,
Shen Xuan's water control divine power, acquired from the Blue Feather Fish, was even more extraordinary.
With just a slight effort, he was much faster than the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros.
Before coming, he had perused the "Barbaric Wilderness Demon Beast Atlas."
He had identified the critical weak spot of the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros.
The attack directions of Chen Tuzi and others also confirmed his speculations.
The throat of the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros.
The Water-Splitting Mount Emei Needle was nestled between his fingers, emitting a cold eerie light.
Water Control Technique
Iron Bone Technique!
Critical Strike Technique!
After consecutively bestowing himself with three talent techniques,
Shen Xuan accelerated towards the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros.
He did not want to waste the blood of the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros.
Thus, he opted for close combat.
Sure enough, as he expected.
Upon detecting his figure, the rhino horn of the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros made barely perceptible subtle vibrations.
The river water around Shen Xuan vanished completely.
His body suddenly found itself in mid-air.
Condensed Water Blade Technique!
Shen Xuan's eyes were locked onto the throat of the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros.
At the bottom of the hundred-zhang Longze River, visibility was obscured.
Even a Water Cultivator would find it hard to see the running figure of the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros.
However, Shen Xuan was using the Insight Technique!
He could clearly sense the slightest movements nearby.
At this moment, the Water-Splitting Mount Emei Needle's tip conjured four azure cold ice divine dragons.
The dragon heads were raised, aiming at the throat of the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros.
A deep and majestic dragon roar emerged!
Two azure blades suddenly erupted, like dazzling starlight suddenly lighting up the dark depths of the water, bursting with a blinding cold light.
On the other side, the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros reacted swiftly as well.
Dozens of sharp water arrows fired frantically.
In the next moment.
Water arrows, flashing with metallic luster, continued to critically strike the two azure blades.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Explosions echoed incessantly.
The aura on the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros intensified, automatically forming a protective light shield, securely guarding it.
Beaded hide armor layered over it, covering its entire body.
The two azure blades roared as they cut through countless water arrows, directly striking the body of the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros.
The protective light shield wavered, the beaded hide armor's demon aura dimmed.
However, the two azure blades also exhausted their spiritual power, finally dissolving into specks of azure light, dissipating into the air.
Shen Xuan's body continued to rapidly approach the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros.
With the blessing of the Iron Bone Technique, his whole body shone with an unusual silver-white, as if he had endless strength, charging like a fierce battlefield general.
"Pfft!"
In this moment, Shen Xuan appeared like a massive azure dragon, about to engulf the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros in front of him!
"Moo!"
The roar of the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros echoed in his ears.
Its demon power surged, its aura blazed, its head lowered, charging like a frenzied bull.
The Water-Repelling Rhinoceros gathered all its demon power, its force as heavy as thousands of pounds!
The surrounding river water abruptly vibrated.
Centered around the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros, paths of water automatically opened, forming a vast empty space.
