In the blink of an eye, Xu Feng had reached the area inhabited by Lord-level creatures. It was already the seventeenth day since he first arrived in the Wilderness Zone. With his increasing strength, Xu Feng no longer stayed on the outskirts of the city and continued to venture deeper into the central area.
Not long after entering City 003, perhaps only advancing less than ten kilometers, he heard a roar of a monster from the front!
Xu Feng's expression slightly changed, because that monster was a beginner Lord-level monster. Although Xu Feng's current strength was not weak, a beginner Lord-level monster was equivalent to a human God of War of the late stage, and Xu Feng was not entirely confident he could defeat it.
Damn it, the center of City 003 is still over twenty kilometers away. How could a beginner Lord-level monster appear here? Xu Feng cursed inwardly, but he didn't change direction. Perhaps a beginner Lord-level monster was very strong, but it wasn't enough to make Xu Feng retreat without a fight.
Lord-level monster, Crimson Flame Panther.
At this moment, the Crimson Flame Panther, which had been standing still on a tree branch, finally moved, its limbs exerting force.
"Whoosh." "Whoosh." "Whoosh."
With a leap, it jumped directly onto another tree. Leopard-type monsters were best at running in trees, which was very well-known. The Crimson Flame Panther had already seen the human in the distance through the dense gaps in the leaves.
The Crimson Flame Panther waited patiently, anticipating the human's approach. However, Xu Feng didn't move. He stood there, eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought.
"Swoosh." With a sudden leap from the tree trunk, the Crimson Flame Panther transformed into a blur of teal, moving towards Xu Feng along an erratic path.
The human, who had been motionless, suddenly—
Drew the Blood Shadow Battle Blade from his back with lightning speed, using the momentum to retreat. Simultaneously, he channeled immense power into a downward strike aimed at the Crimson Flame Panther.
As expected of a monster with Lord-level strength, its speed is truly terrifying. Even the previous Elementary God of War couldn't compare.
The Blood Shadow Battle Blade moved like lightning, striking the Crimson Flame Panther. The panther's body only dented slightly.
Undeterred by its failed ambush, the Crimson Flame Panther sprang onto a nearby tree, pushed off with its hind legs, and gracefully leaped down.
The panther watched Xu Feng with interest, then elegantly walked towards him. Its gait was indeed quite graceful.
Feeling the Crimson Flame Panther's tenacity, Xu Feng held his large blade, staring at the panther before him.
But as soon as the Crimson Flame Panther landed, its cold eyes fixed on Xu Feng. It let out a low growl, clearly indicating it was going all out this time. The Crimson Flame Panther leaped forward with incredible speed, making one's heart tremble.
At this moment, Xu Feng dove, practically hugging the ground, and slipped under the jumping Crimson Flame Panther's belly. Simultaneously, Xu Feng's blade thrust towards the Crimson Flame Panther's abdomen—
Clang! The blade rang out, a terrifying, powerful defense, and an unbelievably fast speed. Was this Crimson Flame Panther really a Lord-class monster?
Xu Feng now felt very challenged, with no way to suppress it. If this continued, he would only be in a passive position.
In the dense forest of City 003's central area, the Crimson Flame Panther was confronting Xu Feng, who was perched on a large tree.
The Crimson Flame Panther glared at Xu Feng, its cold eyes filled with fury. It had originally planned to ambush and finish Xu Feng, but after so much effort, it hadn't even injured him. Now, the Crimson Flame Panther was seething with anger.
"Whoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, the Crimson Flame Panther covered nearly fifty meters, arriving before him. Its speed was about one-third faster than before.
The speed suddenly increased by a third. Xu Feng, who was barely able to dodge the Crimson Flame Panther's attacks before, was now completely at its mercy. He couldn't shake the Crimson Flame Panther off at all, and its defense was also a source of great distress for Xu Feng.
"Too monstrous, this speed." Xu Feng was shocked.
At this point, a hundred meters was probably covered in the blink of an eye.
Too terrifying!
"No choice. Since I can't run, I'll fight." Xu Feng suddenly leaped up at high speed. During the leap, the large blade in his hand also erupted with power, and then he slashed fiercely at the Crimson Flame Panther.
The Crimson Flame Panther also watched Xu Feng coldly, and with a claw, it fiercely swiped at him.
"Pshh!"
"Pshh!"
Xu Feng and the Crimson Flame Panther almost simultaneously landed their attacks on each other. The Crimson Flame Panther's claw left clear claw marks on Xu Feng's body, and blood seeped out. Meanwhile, the Crimson Flame Panther was knocked away, rolling on the ground before standing up again, completely unharmed.
"Pfft!" Xu Feng couldn't hold back the blood in his throat, and it spurted out.
"Damn it, my attack is still too low compared to the Crimson Flame Panther's defense. If I had grasped the third level of the Ninefold Thunderblade, I would definitely be able to hurt it. Too bad, even now, I still haven't managed to comprehend the third level of the Ninefold Thunderblade." Xu Feng's eyes were a little unfocused, and he muttered helplessly.
The Crimson Flame Panther stomped its 'legs' hard on the ground, and its whole body flew diagonally towards a large tree that would take three or four people to encircle. Although it was large, it was very agile, leaping dozens of meters, lightly using the tree trunk to push off and suddenly becoming ethereal, as if it were weightless. The branches kept trembling, but the speed was faster.
At this moment, a strong wind picked up, but Xu Feng really wasn't in the mood to pay attention to it, letting the strong wind blow, his eyes fixed on the Crimson Flame Panther in front of him.
Xu Feng stared at the Crimson Flame Panther's movements, as if he had an idea.
"Haha, I get it, I get it! The third level of the Ninefold Thunderblade, haha, a misunderstanding! These past few days, I was actually going the wrong way. How stupid am I! Crimson Flame Panther, come on, let's fight again!" Xu Feng suddenly laughed wildly.
"Whoosh." Leaning to the side, Xu Feng suddenly straightened up, his right 'leg' kicking hard, and Xu Feng instantly turned into a black afterimage, charging towards the Crimson Flame Panther with a fluttering trajectory.
The Crimson Flame Panther looked at the human in front of it, feeling very strange. The human, who hadn't moved at all, actually dared to charge towards it. It seemed he hadn't given up yet. Knowing his speed was inferior to mine, yet he still dared to attack, how laughable.
The Blood Shadow Battle Blade moved just a fraction, and a cold light immediately flashed, faintly carrying a trace of strange fluctuations, like a bolt of lightning. "Pfft pfft~" The air actually produced a strange shockwave-like sonic boom.
Xu Feng surged forward, using the momentum to rapidly close in on the Crimson Flame Panther. He threw a punch with lightning speed, and a sky full of blade light roared out. At the same time, he followed through with a punch carrying the force of ten thousand tons, slamming directly into the Crimson Flame Panther.
The blade light was like lightning, crashing down on the Crimson Flame Panther's body. The panther was immediately carved with strange blade marks, and the sound of bones breaking echoed.
One hit, one kill!
"Haha, yes, that's it, that's right, that's it! I've grasped it! This is the third level of the Ninefold Thunderblade!" Xu Feng laughed out loud.
"The Ninefold Thunderblade gets harder with each level. I succeeded in practicing the second level not long ago, and I didn't expect to have mastered the third level already." Xu Feng revealed a smile.
"I really have to thank the dead Crimson Flame Panther."
The Ninefold Thunderblade is incredibly difficult, level by level. Throughout the entire world, only the Thunder God has managed to reach the ninth level.
It's known that this ultimate technique is incredibly powerful.
The third level increases strength to 2.8 times its original state. Xu Feng's current physical fitness is that of an advanced intermediate war general. With the 2.8 times increase, his attack power can match that of an advanced war general!
"My blade contains four layers of hidden force, its power comparable to that of an advanced war general. If I were to use Spiritual Force to assist the Blood Shadow Battle Blade, adding a fifth or sixth layer of force, a single strike would likely rival a seasoned mid-level war general." Xu Feng understood the power of Spiritual Force very well; combining it with his own physical attack power made the result even more astonishing.
The intense fighting was indeed putting a lot of pressure on Xu Feng. Some people would live in constant fear under such pressure, eventually breaking down. However, there were also those who would work even harder, improving at an astonishing rate.
Generally, people would occasionally enter this extremely calm state in life-or-death situations or during critical moments, allowing their strength to surpass its normal limits.
Xu Feng's ears twitched slightly, and he immediately rushed to the balcony to look down. He saw dozens of monsters gathering below the residential building.
Xu Feng was taken aback, then smiled. "It seems my excited roar after mastering the third layer attracted quite a few monsters."
Now was the time. Returning to the base city immediately, Xu Feng shouldered his backpack, battle blade, and shield, then leapt from the eighth-floor balcony like a bolt of lightning, landing directly on the rooftop of a three-story villa in front of him, before disappearing in a flash.
