Chapter 117
“Boom! Boom!
Boom! “When the three spotted tigers saw Xiao Chen’s sharp and terrifying attack, fear appeared on their faces. However, they were in mid-air and could not change their direction. They could only bite the bullet and pounce down. Their powerful forelimbs emitted a three-foot-long white beam. Moments later, the white energy beam in front of the tiger claws clashed with the black sword beam of the wooden sword. Immediately, a terrifying explosion occurred.
The huge explosion lit up the entire dark Black Forest as if it was daytime. The white tiger light and the black sword light corroded each other and exploded violently. The scalding energy of the explosion vibrated unceasingly and spread out like a ripple, shaking the surrounding trees and making them sway, as if they could fall at any time.
“Peng! Peng!
Peng! “At the same time of the explosion, Xiao Chen’s wooden sword and the spotted tigers’ metal claws collided. Xiao Chen was not afraid of fighting three peak-grade desolate beasts alone. He sent the three spotted tigers, each weighing a thousand pounds, flying.
“Boom!”
However, he did not feel good either. After all, he had fought for a long time. Especially after using two powerful moves, he had expended half of his Power of Desolate. Now, he could not sustain his strength and was immediately sent crashing to the ground by the huge rebounding force. He created a huge crater in the soft ground, causing soil to splatter everywhere.
“Whew!”
Xiao Chen felt that the injury on his left shoulder had worsened. Blood had dyed half his body red. He grimaced in pain but did not make a sound. He stabbed the wooden sword into the soil and quickly took out a fifth-grade Desolate Yuan Elixir that Grandma Liu had given him. He threw it into his mouth and pulled out the wooden sword with one hand. With both feet, he kicked the bottom of the crater and flew out of the crater.
Xiao Chen stared coldly at the surging desolate beast horde. He felt the medicinal essence of the Desolate Yuan Elixir begin to dissolve in his stomach. All his fatigue disappeared in a blink of an eye. His powerful strength was rapidly recovering. Immediately, he was filled with confidence and his fighting spirit soared.
“Soul Confusion Echo!”
Xiao Chen let out a roar, and the wooden sword suddenly started to vibrate violently, transforming into a strange wave-like pattern. Xiao Chen leaped into the air and charged towards the group of wild beasts, especially the heavily injured Level Four wild beasts.
Xiao Chen planned to get rid of the dozens of fourth-class desolate beasts as soon as possible to prevent them from escaping.
Chirp!
As a sharp sound came out of the wooden sword and quickly spread out, the desolate beasts that were hit were all dumbfounded. Even the dozen or so fourth-grade desolate beasts nearby were deeply affected. The Chaos Soul Sound was indeed an eighth-grade desolate skill. It was indeed terrifying.
“Boom boom boom!”
Xiao Chen’s speed became even faster. He brandished the high-grade Desolate Wooden Sword that was extremely lethal, crazily harvesting the desolate beasts that did not have any resistance. All the desolate beasts that were struck by the wooden sword had their heads explode. In a short while, he had killed more than ten large desolate beasts. He had carved out a bloody path, leaving behind a pile of corpses and a river of blood!
“Die!”
The sharp wooden sword beam slashed across the throats of the two Raging Black Bears that Xiao Chen had sliced open. Following that, Xiao Chen kicked the Raging Black Bears’ chests and used the momentum to bounce back. With a somersault, he landed firmly on the ground and charged to the side, snatching away the sneak attack of two Fire Cloud Leopards.
“Kill!”
Xiao Chen roared and ignored the two Fire Cloud Leopards behind him. He charged towards the three large spotted tigers that were standing shakily.
I’ll take your life while you’re down!
Xiao Chen would definitely not give the large spotted tigers a chance to recover to their peak condition. He decided to take care of the three strongest spotted tigers first before dealing with the weaker desolate beasts.
“Roar!”
The three spotted tigers had suffered some minor injuries from the clash with Xiao Chen. Furthermore, they were in a daze from the heavy fall to the ground. Now, they had recovered about 60-70% and could barely stand. When they saw Xiao Chen charging at them with a murderous aura, they were immediately enraged. They were the beast kings of the black forest, so how could they not be enraged that they were being pursued by a human?
“Shoo! Shoo!
Shoo! “The three spotted tigers shot forward and attacked Xiao Chen in a fan shape. A powerful tiger aura surged out, causing the surrounding desolate beasts to dodge. They decided to attack Xiao Chen with all their might to protect their dignity as beast kings.
“Chu!”
The Confusion Sound had a time limit. It could not be sustained for too long and it consumed a lot of Desolate Power. In order to kill the three spotted tigers in one fell swoop, Xiao Chen did not hesitate to use the Confusion Sound once again. Immediately, the ear-piercing sound wave surged towards the three spotted tigers twenty feet away.
“Chi!”
Even though the three spotted tigers were at the peak of the fourth-grade, they had yet to reach the fifth-grade. Naturally, they were unable to fight against Xiao Chen, who had temporarily reached the first stage of the Purple Image Realm. After using the Confusion Sound, they immediately became dumbfounded. They suddenly stopped running, but due to the inertia of their bodies, their gigantic bodies were flung towards Xiao Chen.
“Ha!”
Xiao Chen naturally would not miss such an opportunity. He raised the powerful wooden sword that was flashing with black light and slashed down furiously at the gigantic tiger heads that were flung at him. Furthermore, he slashed three times consecutively, hitting the middle of the three tigers’ eyebrows. Immediately, the tiger heads split open as dark green blood spurted out like a fountain. It looked like two bright dark green flowers.
“Roar —”
The three spotted tigers suffered such fatal injuries. The excruciating pain caused them to snap out of their daze. Following that, they began to run around in a frenzy, sending many of the desolate beasts nearby flying. From time to time, they would slam into a gigantic tree trunk, causing their head injuries to worsen. After a while, they collapsed to the ground, dying.
“Swish!” “Swish!”
When the two uninjured Fire Cloud Leopards saw that the three spotted tigers were dead, they looked at Xiao Chen with fear. They didn’t dare to fight anymore. The effects of the Bestial Explosion Powder were already at its lowest, and they were back to normal. Therefore, they chose to escape. If they didn’t escape, the spotted tigers would be the best example.
Xiao Chen didn’t chase after the two Fire Cloud Beasts. It wasn’t because he was afraid that he couldn’t catch up, but because the speed of the Fire Cloud Beasts was too fast. If he were to forcefully chase after them, he would have to waste a lot of time. That would not be worth it. It would be more practical to kill the injured fourth-grade dire beasts in front of him.
“Kill!”
After killing the strongest spotted tiger, Xiao Chen began to slaughter the three injured Fire Cloud Leopards and the two Raging Black Bears. The severely injured beasts’ combat strength was halved, and they weren’t a match for Xiao Chen. They were all killed by Xiao Chen’s wooden sword.
“Rumble!”
The remaining two hundred dire beasts began to retreat. They fled in a panic. They felt a deep fear towards the death-like human in front of them. Third-grade dire beasts had a certain level of intelligence, so they naturally knew to stay behind. They would definitely become souls under the sword of the human in front of them.
“Phew!”
Xiao Chen stood still with his sword in hand. He took a deep breath. He didn’t chase after the fleeing dire beasts, because the number of dire beasts he had killed was enough for him to win the championship. He had killed hundreds of third-grade dire beasts and more than ten fourth-grade dire beasts. Furthermore, it was done in about two hours. Even if he killed Regretless, it would be impossible, right?
Xiao Chen rested for a while before he began to collect the inner cores of the dire beasts. He first chose to collect the inner cores of the three spotted tigers. Soon, three milky-white egg-sized inner cores of the spotted tigers were dug out by Xiao Chen from the gigantic heads of the spotted tigers.
“Oh?”
After wiping away the filth on the inner cores, Xiao Chen placed the three inner cores into his robes. He then walked towards the corpse of a Fire Cloud Leopard. However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly came to a halt. His sharp gaze shot deep into the forest as he let out a surprised exclamation.
“Rumble!”
There was a cacophony of running desolate beasts coming from deep within the black forest. Soon, countless low-grade desolate beasts ran out from the depths. Their eyes were filled with horror, as though something extremely terrifying was chasing them. This large group of desolate beasts naturally saw Xiao Chen. Not only did they not attack Xiao Chen, they even circled around him. Clearly, they were extremely afraid of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen had already released his God’s Bestowment, but the desolate beasts were still afraid of him. This meant that these desolate beasts were the ones that had attacked Xiao Chen. However, they had clearly escaped, so why did they appear again?
What a strange scene.
