Chapter 21: A Life-and-Death Crisis
Zhong Zihao held his breath and condensed, threw the package on his body aside, and the Qingfeng sword was unsheathed, and his blood boiled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info has been in the inner area for most of the day, and finally met the opponent, and it seems that the realm is not high, and it is suitable for his own practice.
"Roar!"
With another roar, the liger lunged at him. Unexpectedly, such a large demon beast was not slow, and it jumped in the blink of an eye at a distance of ten zhang. When Zhong Zihao was about two feet apart, his front legs stomped on the ground, and then his body jumped up from the ground, opened his bloody mouth, and bit him on the neck.
The lion and tiger beast was fast, Zhong Zihao was faster, and the moment it jumped off the ground, it rushed forward a few steps. Then he bent his legs, leaned back, raised his sword, and with the help of the force of the impact, his body glided, and the long sword was picked up to the weakest abdomen of the lion and tiger beast's physical defense.
The liger obviously didn't expect this human warrior to be so fast, and before his hind legs could fully jump, this cunning human had already rushed in front of him, and his long sword was pointed directly at his vital point. Although it didn't hit him, he could feel the slight sound of the tip of the sword passing and the air being sliced, and he felt a sudden chill in his abdomen.
The liger beast was horrified, and the paws of its hind feet, which had not yet completely left the ground, stomped on the ground again to borrow strength, and moved its body to the side.
Having said all this, in fact, time has only passed by a breath. Zhong Zihao turned around and moved, Feixue stepped out, swung his sword and slashed, and there was a faint sword qi around the sword body.
He didn't use the Drifting Snow Sword Technique, and since he entered the Yueying Mountain Range this time, he has been using his sword at will. Now that he is physically strong, his explosive power has increased greatly, and he has cultivated the Ruijin Jue to the fullest, he wants to take the opportunity to see how his true strength is.
And he found that when he took out the sword at will, he had an inexplicable feeling, as if he wanted to do what he wanted, and the sword speed was faster. Maybe one day, when his cultivation reaches a higher realm, he will really be able to fuse sword skills with different attributes.
What he didn't know was that this situation was the precursor to the artistic conception of the sword and the swordsman. There are thousands of martial artists who practice swordsmanship in the world, and if you zoom in to the entire Luoyuan Continent, there may be billions and tens of billions of people who use swords, but there are very few who can become swordsmen.
The lion and tiger beast only felt that he had underestimated this human warrior just now, and almost suffered a big loss, so he concentrated all his strength and turned his body, and his two front legs attacked Zhong Zihao again, and at the same time opened his bloody mouth, and his huge head avoided the Qingfeng Sword and bit his body.
One man and one beast fought with all their might in this open area, and after thirty moves, no one could help anyone.
Zhong Zihao's clothes were soaked, and sweat flowed all over his body. I couldn't help but think: "It seems that it is a great loss to use the metal technique against the enemy, after all, without the sword skills supporting the cultivation fruit, you can't exert your ultimate strength." Originally, the metallic technique had the strongest lethality among the five element attributes, but he didn't practice the corresponding martial arts.
But you can't stay here for long, or you just leave, anyway, with the speed of the flying snow step, the liger can't catch up, or you can use the "Ice and Snow Cold Plum" to try. In fact, Zhong Zihao didn't have the confidence to kill the Lion Tiger Beast when he cast the Ice and Snow Hanmei, and he felt that compared to the fast sword just now, the Ice and Snow Hanmei didn't have much of an advantage.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still decided to try, after all, giving up without doing his best is not Zhong Zihao's character. As at the beginning, he continued to fight with the Lion and Tiger Beast, and the exercises in his body slowly changed, and he ran the soft water technique.
When the qi in the muscles and veins of the whole body flowed as expected, Zhong Zihao suddenly took a few steps back and opened the distance. Then a chill emerged, and the Qingfeng Sword staged "Ice and Snow Cold Plum".
The liger beast was stunned, and he didn't understand why this human warrior suddenly retreated at the moment when the fight was in full swing, and after a moment, he felt that winter was coming. Sensing the danger coming, the hairs on his body rose from his body, and his legs struck quickly. Then a spring mood struck, only to feel that the front legs suddenly did not shoot anything, and then "roared" and screamed, rolling to the ground.
It turned out that its two front legs, wrists and knees, were stretched out in front of the Qingfeng Sword. No matter how strong the body is, how can it be sharper than the spiritual treasure? After the blow, both legs were broken.
Zhong Zihao took the opportunity to step forward and open his bow left and right. After four or five swords, the liger beast was silent, its head was cut off, and only a huge corpse was left twitching on the ground.
In fact, Zhong Zihao didn't expect to kill the lion and tiger beast so smoothly, when the ice and snow cold plum was used, it might be because it was deep in the mountains, and before winter came, the temperature was already low. The power of the ice and snow Hanmei move is actually a little stronger than in the summer.
Of course, the biggest reason is also the liger itself, if it weren't for that moment of stunnedness, it wouldn't have died so unjustly. After all, the Lion Tiger Beast is a beginner-level demon beast, that is, it has just evolved from a fierce beast, and it is quite different from humans in terms of spiritual intelligence. If it was a high-level demon beast with a spiritual intelligence close to that of a human being, it would never be possible to make such a mistake.
Zhong Zihao couldn't help but be dumbfounded, in fact, there was no difference between his strength and the Lion Tiger Beast, he had already played to the limit, and he couldn't kill the Lion Tiger Beast, or because of the other party's carelessness, he could kill it.
Shaking his head, Zhong Zihao said secretly: "It seems that I still think too highly of myself, I thought that when I practiced the seventh order, I could easily kill the ninth-order fierce beast, but now I have consolidated the cultivation of the eighth order of the body, and my physical strength has increased greatly, and I can successfully kill the first-order demon beast, how do I know that the gap between the physical training realm and the Juyuan realm is so big?" ā
He used the Qingfeng Sword to cut off the head of the Lion Tiger Beast, took out a demon pill the size of a baby's fist, put away the burden in the distance, and left the place.
In fact, the liger beast is huge, and if the animal skin is taken away, it can be exchanged for a lot of silver taels. However, it takes a lot of time to peel off the skin. And it was impossible for him to travel in the Yueying Mountains for a long time with such a heavy burden, so he only picked the most important part.
When a beast evolves into a demon beast, the demon pill will be condensed in its body, and the demon pill is also the essence of its strength. Demon beasts are like human Yuan Gathering Realm martial artists, they can absorb the Yuan power of heaven and earth and store it in their bodies.
Over time, the demon pill will get bigger and bigger, and after reaching a certain level, the demon pill will also disperse, and the yuan power gathered inside will expand to the whole body of the demon beast, refining the skin and flesh. At this time, if the demon beast evolves to the level of a divine beast, there is still a chance to transform into a human form.
Of course, the divine beasts that evolved from ordinary demon beasts are not perfect in their human form, and they will retain some of the characteristics of demon beasts, such as sharp horns and slender ears. Only demon beasts with the bloodline of divine beasts, when they advance to human form, can their appearance be exactly the same as that of humans.
Knowing that he had reached the bottom line of his own strength, Zhong Zihao did not go deep again, but stayed in the outermost area of the inner area of the Yueying Mountain Range, killing many ninth-order fierce beasts.
A few days later, Zhong Zihao had just killed a ninth-order peak beast Tempest Wolf, and was about to change direction and find another target, when suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air in front of him. Immediately concentrate and look ahead.
The area enclosed by the Yueying Mountains was so dense with trees that he could not see far away, and he could only hear the howl of wolves. As soon as this wolf howl reached his ears, it could make his scalp tingle and make him feel retreated, this was definitely a powerful demon beast.
As soon as he thought of this, he was about to turn around and evacuate, but found that the demon beast had appeared in his sight. This look couldn't help but make Zhong Zihao amazed, only to see a figure in the depths of the dense forest about a hundred zhang away in front of him; After an instant, I saw a wolf-shaped demon beast with a body length of more than a zhang and an amazing momentum all over its body.
The figure is a young man, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, isn't it who is Zhang Cheng who I just met a few days ago? It's just that at this moment, he is in rags and covered with blood in many places, which is inferior to the "Senior Brother Qi" he saw at the beginning, and he is obviously running for his life.
And the wolf-shaped demon beast in the rear is very big, it is the Howling Moon Wolf. For Zhong Zihao, who had practiced the Drifting Snow Sword Technique and knew the origin of this set of swordsmanship, the power of the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf had long been well known.
And at this moment, this Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf was able to chase Zhang Cheng, who was in the second order of Juyuan, and fled for his life like a headless fly, and his strength had reached at least the third order of Juyuan. If it is the second-order strength of Juyuan, even if Zhang Cheng is invincible, there should be many ways to escape, so as not to make such a mess.
A man and a beast are less than twenty zhang apart, and their speed is like electricity, and they are fifty zhang away in the blink of an eye. At this time, Zhang Cheng also found Zhong Zihao, and was stunned at first, perhaps surprised that a martial artist who practiced the eighth order dared to run to the inner area; Then there was ecstasy, without thinking about it, and went straight to Zhong Zihao.
After Zhong Zihao recognized that the figure was Zhang Cheng, cold sweat oozed from his whole body, he threw away his baggage, started the flying snow step, and ran backwards at his own speed.
But the one person and one beast in the rear is the cultivation of the Juyuan Realm, and the Flying Snow Step is just a light body technique for those who practice physical martial arts, and the speed is only half of the opponent's at most. After a few breaths, they rushed to Zhong Zihao's rear.
A voice came from Zhong Zihao's ears: "Boy, since you met here, I can only blame you for your bad life." If you survive, I'll give you a favor, but I don't think you will have that chance. ā
Hearing this voice, Zhong Zihao was devastated. Because he judged from his voice that Zhang Cheng was at most ten zhang away from him, that is, less than thirty zhang away from the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf, whose strength was at least the third order of Juyuan. And compared to his own speed, it is impossible to escape.
Thinking through this section, he suddenly stopped, the Qingfeng sword was unsheathed, and the soft water technique was running in his body, ready to resist a hard blow. I only hope that the Howling Moon Wolf will not regard himself as the main target and continue to pursue Zhang Cheng.
At the same time, Zhang Cheng had already run to Zhong Zihao's side, turned his head to look at him, and continued to run forward.
Zhong Zihao read the meaning of schadenfreude from the other party's eyes, and couldn't help but be angry: "In order to create a chance to escape, use me as a shield, if you don't die today......"
He couldn't help but think about it, the Howling Moon Wolf had already reached the front six or seven feet, and his momentum was amazing. Seeing that it can't be avoided, and the defense can't be successful, I can only try desperately.
Without any hesitation, he shot his strongest blow "Ice and Snow Hanmei", and stepped on the flying snow step, taking the initiative to rush towards the Howling Moon Sky Wolf who had jumped off the ground. He even gathered all the energy in his body, the strength of his body, on this sword. At this moment, his spirit was highly concentrated, as if he had entered a certain state.
