Chapter 115
“Pu Pu!”
The flying desolate beasts began to launch a fierce attack on Xiao Chen and company. More than ten eagle-like beasts flapped their gigantic wings and nimbly shuttled through the trees. They flew above the five of them and then, like moths to a flame, they ferociously swooped down. Immediately, a strong gust of wind blew.
“All of you, crouch down!”
Xiao Chen’s expression was grim and his eyes were like lightning. With a loud roar, he bent his knees and stamped his feet on the ground. With his arms spread out, he soared up like a black eagle, reaching a height of ten feet.
Following that, he kicked a bent tree trunk beside him and used the momentum to continue his rapid ascent. At the same time, his right hand, which was holding the sword, began to move crazily. Almost instantly, a gigantic sword was conjured and it flew towards the flying desolate beasts that were swooping down.
“Puah!” “Puah!” “Puah!” …
The terrifying sound of a weapon tearing through flesh came from the sky. Clearly, Xiao Chen’s wooden sword had struck the bodies of the flying beasts. Moments later, there was a strange rain of blood mixed with feathers. It was like a dream or a fantasy. It was filled with the smell of blood, as if the end of the world had arrived.
“Continue charging!
Kill! ”
Xiao Chen killed a few flying beasts and quickly landed on the ground. He casually finished off a few ground desolate beasts that were attacking the four of them. Then, he crazily circulated the Power of Desolates into the wooden sword. The wooden sword instantly lit up and emitted a three-foot-long black sword beam. When the wooden sword’s Power of Desolates was sufficient, Xiao Chen swung his sword at a 180-degree angle in front of him.
“Whew!”
A gigantic crescent-shaped black sword beam shot out from the wooden sword. Instantly, the invincible black sword beam spread out like a wave.
External release of the Power of Desolates!
A hundred meters away from the enemy.
“Puah Puah Puah!”
The black sword beam easily penetrated everything in front of it, be it desolate beasts, trees or rocks. It was as simple as a kitchen knife cutting through soft tofu. The black sword beam traveled for more than a hundred meters before it slowly dissipated into the air. Clearly, it had exhausted all its energy.
“Explode!”
Xiao Chen coldly watched as the black sword beam slashed forward. He coldly spat out a single word. All the external Power of Desolates that was connected to his Qi activity exploded.
“Boom boom boom!”
All the dire beasts, trees, and rocks that were struck by the terrifying sword of light exploded. An earth-shattering explosion sounded from the depths of the Black Forest, mixed with ghostly wails and wolf howls. It was as if a demon had been born, bringing disaster to the world.
After the explosion, there was a momentary silence, followed by the roars of countless dire beasts and the sound of running.
Hiss!
“So powerful!”
When Xu Da and the other three saw Xiao Chen instantly kill more than ten third-class dire beasts with a full-powered attack, they could not help but gasp. They marveled at Xiao Chen’s unparalleled lethality.
After Xiao Chen used all his strength, his face turned pale. Clearly, he had expended too much of his Power of Desolates. After all, his actual cultivation level was only at the third level of the White Tiger realm. His strength at the first level of the Purple Elephant realm was only temporary. The total amount of Power of Desolates in his body did not increase by much. This was also the reason why Xiao Chen did not continue to release the Power of Desolates.
“What are you waiting for?
Waiting for death?
Charge! ”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and glared at the four people behind him with his blood-red eyes. He couldn’t help but yell in a cold voice, “How dare you!
“Ah?
Let’s go! ”
Liu Ruyue and company were jolted awake by Xiao Chen’s cold shout. After being slightly stunned, they immediately ran. They ran in the direction of the few surviving dire beasts in front of them.
After Liu Ruyue ran a hundred feet away, she felt that something was amiss. She suddenly turned her head and realized that Xiao Chen was not following them. Instead, he was standing alone in front of the countless pursuing beasts. She immediately turned pale with fright as she shouted anxiously, “Xiao Chen!
Leave quickly! ”
“All of you leave first. I’ll bring up the rear!”
Xiao Chen did not turn his head as he gave a deep roar as an answer. Following that, he charged towards the horde of dire beasts with his sword. He was not afraid of death and had no hesitation. He had the determination of a man who would never return.
“Xiao Chen —”
When Liu Ruyue heard Xiao Chen’s seemingly simple words, they contained an incomparably deep friendship and manly spirit. She was extremely moved. After a while, she felt a pain in her heart and a lump in her throat. Hot tears gushed out of her eyes and she could not help but let out a heart-wrenching cry. After that, she could not say anything else.
Warrior!
Warrior!
Xiao Chen was a warrior who could fight against thousands of soldiers and horses for the sake of his friendship and morality. He was a warrior who was not afraid of death!
At this moment, Demoness Liu Ruyue, who had never been interested in men, was completely subdued by Xiao Chen’s true nature and manly charm!
Zhu Geming was also filled with respect for Xiao Chen from the bottom of his heart. However, his mind was still calm. He would not foolishly rush forward to help Xiao Chen kill the dire beasts. He knew that he would only be a burden to Xiao Chen if he went forward. Hence, he shouted at the tearful Liu Ruyue:
“Miss Liu, let’s leave quickly!
If we stay, we will only be a burden to Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen is strong, he will naturally have a way to escape!
Leave quickly!
If not, it will be too late! ”
“Xiao Chen, take care!
Ruyue will wait for your safe return! ”
When Liu Ruyue heard Zhu Geming’s persuasion, she resisted the urge to rush forward and fight alongside Xiao Chen. She used her sleeves to wipe away her blurry eyes and shouted at Xiao Chen, whose figure had already been submerged in the sea of beasts. Following that, she did not care if Xiao Chen heard her. She resolutely turned around and rushed towards the periphery of the Black Forest with Zhu Geming and the other two.
Xiao Chen, who was bathed in blood, naturally heard Liu Ruyue’s shout. His heart stirred a little, but he quickly regained his composure. He was already surrounded by hundreds of desolate beasts. Even though his defense, speed and cultivation level had greatly increased after going berserk, he could not afford to be careless.
He knew that ants could bite an elephant to death. Furthermore, desolate beasts were not ants, and he was not an elephant. Desolate beasts had extremely strong attack power. Even if a third-grade desolate beast, Iron-claw Black Eagle, struck him with its sharp claws, it could easily rip off a large chunk of his flesh.
Currently, the ones attacking him were mainly third-grade desolate beasts. However, Xiao Chen had already discovered that there were more than ten powerful fourth-grade desolate beasts in the periphery. There were even three fourth-grade desolate beasts. Desolate beasts that were fourth-grade and above could cause him immense damage. Hence, he could not afford to be careless, or he would fail miserably.
Actually, Xiao Chen could easily escape from the encirclement, but he could not. Firstly, it was to buy enough time for Liu Ruyue and company to escape. Secondly, he needed to kill a lot of desolate beasts to obtain a lot of inner cores. He wanted to be the champion, so he could only take the risk to kill desolate beasts for the Dragon Heart Grass.
“Peng! Peng!
Peng! “Xiao Chen’s body was covered in blood. His figure flickered as he brandished his wooden sword. He battled with the horde of beasts. Every swing of his sword would send several desolate beasts flying, mercilessly reaping their lives.
There were countless desolate beasts dying. Logically, they should have been killed and retreated. However, they had been poisoned by the Exploding Beast Powder, turning them violent and bloodthirsty. They had lost their originally low intelligence and would only attack the humans in front of them until the end of their lives.
“Roar!”
“Dong!” “Dong!” “Dong!”
More than ten fourth-grade and above desolate beasts finally rushed over from the depths of the black forest. They let out a terrifying roar, causing the surrounding trees to tremble. Following that, they took heavy steps towards Xiao Chen, who was slaughtering the desolate beasts. Their eyes were blood red and they attacked indiscriminately. Even the second-grade and third-grade desolate beasts in front of them were sent flying.
Four early-grade fourth-grade desolate beasts, Raging Black Bears, five mid-grade fourth-grade desolate beasts, Fire Cloud Leopards and three peak-grade fourth-grade desolate beasts, spotted tigers. It was an extremely powerful lineup!
These twelve fourth-grade desolate beasts were the cream of the crop of desolate beasts in the black forest. Even if Military Kill Ripper were to face them at the same time, his scalp would tingle and he would feel fear.
The Raging Black Bear’s defensive and offensive powers were extremely terrifying. It was ten feet tall and had a huge body. Although it was an early-grade fourth-grade desolate beast, its actual combat power could match that of a peak-grade fourth-grade desolate beast.
The Fire Cloud Leopard’s speed was terrifying. Although it was small, smaller than a typical leopard, its sharp claws and fangs were comparable to the sharpness of mid-grade desolate weapons. It was extremely lethal.
The spotted tigers were fifteen feet long and had immense strength. The tiger’s might was unparalleled. Its mouth, claws and tail were powerful enough to make one’s heart palpitate. It could easily tear apart a human early stage Purple Image realm expert’s desolate power protection.
A truly perilous battle was about to begin. Xiao Chen, who was already exhausted, was still unsure if he could defeat and kill them.
