"Bang, bang!"
The Giant Rock Bear panted heavily, its blood-red eyes fixed on the human. Its massive claws scraped the ground, crushing several rocks into dust.
Looking at the Giant Rock Bear, which made no attempt to conceal its killing intent, Xu Feng swallowed. A High-Level Beast General... He wondered if his current strength was enough to fight one.
I was planning to take on a Mid-Level Beast General in a few days. Looks like I'm going straight for a High-Level one. Good, it'll let me see how strong they are. I should be able to run away if I can't win, right?
Xu Feng thought to himself. If he hadn't seen those corpses that morning, he would have run away already. But after what had happened, Xu Feng's mentality had undergone a transformation.
Xu Feng believed that if he wanted to leave, the Giant Rock Bear, which wasn't known for its speed, wouldn't be able to catch him. Even though it was blocking his path, he could definitely escape. This was the absolute confidence of a Spirit Reader.
Distance was everything. A Spirit Reader allowing a monster to get close was the stupidest thing they could do.
Xu Feng was a warrior, and also a Spirit Reader; creating distance and controlling Flying Knives to attack was the best choice. He quickly mobilized the Flying Knives around him.
Xu Feng focused his gaze on the Giant Rock Bear again, carefully examining it. He suddenly noticed a terrifying wound on the Giant Rock Bear's abdomen.
The wound had almost completely ripped open the Giant Rock Bear's abdomen. As the Giant Rock Bear twisted its body, blood gushed out, staining the surrounding black fur crimson.
Judging by the horrific appearance of the wound, it was likely inflicted by some kind of ferocious Claw-Shaped Monster. Injured bear-type monsters were generally extremely agitated, and the unlucky Xu Feng seemed to have encountered this severely wounded Giant Rock Bear.
Staring intently at the terrifying wound that was constantly bleeding, Xu Feng narrowed his eyes, his heart stirring. Although under normal circumstances, he couldn't defeat a Giant Rock Bear, he had originally planned to exchange a few blows and then escape. However, the current situation seemed quite advantageous for him.
"Hmph, you came looking for trouble…" he thought, holding the Battle Knife and staring intently at the Giant Rock Bear. The situation now didn't allow him to hold back at all.
Xu Feng's actions were undoubtedly a provocation to the enraged Giant Rock Bear. The Giant Rock Bear slammed its claws heavily on its chest, producing a loud clang clang sound.
The Giant Rock Bear stomped forward, its eyes bloodshot as it charged towards Xu Feng. White energy rapidly condensed on its massive claws, and the surrounding air immediately grew cold.
With a gentle tap of his toes against the ground,
accompanied by a sonic boom, the seven Flying Knives shot towards the Giant Rock Bear. Xu Feng, utilizing his Subtle Movement Technique, put over ten meters of distance between them. The Giant Rock Bear batted away the Flying Knives and charged towards Xu Feng.
"Roar!" The bear roared fiercely, its massive claws swiping at Xu Feng.
Relying on the Subtle Movement Technique, his body shifted in an uncanny manner, effortlessly evading the Giant Rock Bear's attack.
After dodging the attack, Xu Feng once again controlled the six Flying Knives, aiming them at the gruesome wound on the Giant Rock Bear's abdomen, using all of his Spirit Reader power.
"Swoosh!"
A sharp sonic boom echoed, and the Flying Knives shot towards the bear with terrifying speed.
The Flying Knives struck directly at the Giant Rock Bear's wound. The bear immediately steadied itself, but a wave of intense pain surged from its abdomen. Looking down, it saw blood gushing out of the still-unhealed wound like a stream.
The intense pain drove the berserk Giant Rock Bear to near madness, and it stomped forward, shaking the ground as it pursued Xu Feng. Blood continued to flow from the wound.
With the Subtle Movement Technique's enhancement, Xu Feng never directly took an attack from the Giant Rock Bear. However, he still sustained a minor injury.
Beside the wooden cabin, a bizarre scene was unfolding. The Giant Rock Bear, driven to the brink of madness, was relentlessly attacking the tiny figure beside it. Losing its sanity, it was no different from an ordinary monster. However, the figure, flitting around it like a fly, managed to dodge every attack.
Crimson blood almost covered the ground, a truly terrifying sight.
Having dodged another attack from the Giant Rock Bear, Xu Feng's opportunity finally arrived. Almost instinctively, he swung his battle knife.
He unleashed his full strength to the limit, the immense power instantly coursing from his legs to his waist.
Crack, crack, crack...
Xu Feng's spine straightened, one vertebra at a time, transmitting the powerful force to his right arm.
Simultaneously, his waist, hips, and even his back rippled outwards, as if sending out two hidden forces like waves on water.
Force connected!
Ninefold Thunderblade, second level, 21% power, unleashed!
"Pfft!"
Three consecutive forces transmitted into his arm. The Bloodshadow Battle Knife turned into a streak of cold light, slashing through the sky.
Xu Feng didn't retreat but advanced, his great刀 slashing towards the Giant Rock Bear's wound. The Giant Rock Bear hadn't expected this human to dare to counterattack and didn't react in time. The Bloodshadow Battle Knife fiercely cut into the Giant Rock Bear's wound. After cutting in, Xu Feng didn't even want the knife and immediately retreated.
Having suffered a fatal blow, the Giant Rock Bear's roar finally slowly faded. It stared with blood-red beast eyes, and like a mountain collapsing, it crashed down heavily.
At the moment the Giant Rock Bear fell, Xu Feng also collapsed, his whole body numb. Ignoring the blood all over the ground, he lay straight down, gasping for breath.
After catching his breath for a few moments, he slowly regained some strength. He raised his head, looked at the giant Giant Rock Bear's corpse not far away, and immediately walked over to pull out his knife. He slashed at the Giant Rock Bear's head, removed the fur, threw away his blood-soaked clothes, and immediately ran away.
If he were to encounter another Low-Level Beast Soldier, he could be killed. His strength was almost gone, and his mental energy was also used up.
He found a place where he could hide well. Xu Feng immediately hid inside. Once inside, he lay straight down, gasping for breath. A trace of lingering fear couldn't help but rise in his heart. If this black bear hadn't already been severely injured, if the intense pain hadn't made it lose its mind, if it weren't for his fighting experience over the past two days… If he had encountered it yesterday, he would have truly died here…
Xu Feng slowly regained some strength and began today's cultivation. Xu Feng sat cross-legged, assuming the cultivation posture, and began to restore the energy consumed within his body.
It was late into the night, enveloped in complete darkness. Only then did Xu Feng open his eyes, carefully recalling the memories of the earlier battle.
He picked up the Bloodshadow Battle Knife beside him.
Eighteen moves of the blade intertwined, thoroughly integrated.
Almost reflexively, Xu Feng swung the blade, immediately unleashing a slash.
He had mastered the second level of the Ninefold Thunderblade.
Fighting is indeed the best way to enhance one's cultivation. No wonder those protagonists are all battle maniacs; I must fight more often in the future.
