The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 543

The childlike wonder the both exhibited amused and endeared Austin, almost making him forget about their prior objective when a sudden roar bellowed from the innermost part of the valley.

It shook the earth and agitated the leaves into falling around them, the fury derived from its echo shattering the otherwise peaceful environment.

Another wave of tremors befell on them, closely accompanied by a sonic boom as a huge shadow dashed between the thick wooden trunks of trees and overgrown shrubs. Its heavy stamps grew deafening the nearer it got to where they stood, imposing an intimidating presence as it bellowed once more.

Violet drastically changed her demeanor into one of pure wrath the moment she heard the sounds. Her lips trembled, teeth clenching in a strained effort to remain calm and collected.

The spiritual sense enabled Austin to see the rhinoceros from its current position in the middle of the forest. Despite its sturdy body being much bigger than an elephant, he sprinted wildly; smashing everything that posed as an obstacle on his way to their group with a drilling glare marring its face.

His four legs were huge, easily leaving a trail of deep gigantic pits as he advanced.

Without a doubt, this demon heading their way must be the six-grade rhinoceros king Violet had mentioned.

In a span of a few seconds, it appeared before Austin and Violet, looking terribly enraged at their unannounced visit.

He was the color of mud; dark brown with skin so thick and coarse that it already served as his armor. His gigantic form looked much bigger from up close, dwarfing and casting an imposing shadow over them with his towering height.

A sharp, massive horn protruded from the top of his muzzle, the other two snuggled on each opposite side of his head. It glinted under the unforgiving sunlight, highlighting the sharpness of the cone-shaped weapons like that of a knife, driving fear to anyone who was to be on its receiving end.

However, Violet did not cower in fear. Instead, she sported the posture of someone who had the means to defeat this fearsome opponent. She had abandoned the weak, demonic fox long ago, and had refined herself enough to even be able to take the form of human beings now.

The beast stopped, appraising the seemingly unafraid humans with confusion lining his features.

He was able to sense any invaders on his property, even at a far distance, and had known of these mortals' existence the moment they had stepped foot on the region.

It was well-known that he had taken the dale under his control, and entrance to the place was to be endowed by him. Defying that rule was tantamount to offending him and challenging his position as the supreme ruler. The consequences of this treason would be the death of the aggressors—may it be beasts or humans—on his land, as long as they were of lesser status than him in terms of martial arts skill.

And so far, he had proved to be the more superior being.

He looked at them strangely, unable to perceive their intentions, especially since it was very rare for any human beings to be sighted around the Grand Desolation Mountain.

He shook his head, opting to forego any feelings that hindered him in defeating them. Two terrifying sharp teeth were bared as the rhinoceros howled, his pupils turning red to reflect his madness. He moved in a lightning speed, the sharp horn on his head flashing in crimson light.

It grew several times in both length and diameter, mimicking the parameters of a sword that sought for the blood of its enemies.
