C5 Magical beast
The terrain of Tian Dang Mountain was rather complicated. There were valleys, steep slopes, and most of all, forests that were covered by dense forests.
Lin Cheng and Fei La had been here for three days. The two of them had killed quite a few Class 1 Magical Beasts, most of them by Lin Cheng. However, when Fei La hacked one to death, she still revealed her true strength, which surprised Lin Cheng for a long time.
However, the two of them didn't encounter any demonic beasts that they could kill.
A Class 2 Magical Beast had the opportunity to form an inner core. The price of an inner pellet was very high, one pellet was worth more than a rank one magical beast.
If he met a beast king, perhaps a single inner core could be sold for a thousand taels of gold.
"I wonder when I'll be able to meet a Class 2 Magical Beast!" Lin Cheng muttered to himself.
"We will, since we have come, we will definitely meet!" On the other hand, Fei La wasn't in a hurry at all. She was enjoying the feeling of shuttling through the forest as much as she was in cultivation.
Lin Cheng nodded his head. Suddenly, his gaze turned to the left in front of him. He had just heard a slight rustling sound from behind a big tree. It was definitely the sound of a magical beast walking past.
The aura of this magical beast was far more powerful than any of the other magical beasts he had encountered.
He took out his sword, turned around the tree with lightning speed, and swung it. He did not use the Thirteen Whirlwind Swords, but the speed at which he drew his sword, after training for so long, had also reached its peak.
A cold light flashed as it hacked down.
However, Lin Cheng saw a gray ray of light moving from his sword to a distant place. He also saw a grey demon wolf looking at him in astonishment.
A magical beast of the second rank, the demon wolf.
The hand that Lin Cheng used to hold the longsword trembled slightly.
It wasn't fear, but excitement.
Lin Cheng discovered that he liked challenging others. The more difficult the situation, the happier he would be. Especially now, when he met a Class 2 Magical Beast, he couldn't help but be excited.
"Lin Cheng, are you afraid!" Fei La, who was in the distance, shouted.
"How could that be? I'm just too excited!" Lin Cheng turned his head and smiled, then turned his head and calmed down.
In this instant, his aura stabilized. The speed of this transformation was incomparably shocking. Lin Cheng looked coldly at the demon wolf and thought to himself: "I wonder how strong this rank 2 demon beast is."
When the demon wolf was attacked by a human, it was obviously very angry. They had lived in this mountain for a long time. All this time, no one had ever dared to enter this place. And now, another human had come. He thought it would be the same as before. He had only come here to kill it.
The wolf moved.
His body moved at a speed that was barely visible to the naked eye, leaving behind a gray afterimage. In the next moment, he rushed in front of Lin Cheng and grabbed him.
Lin Cheng was secretly surprised. From the looks of it, the demon wolf was a speed type demon beast. This kind of magical beast's attack power wasn't strong, but its speed was very fast. His reaction was also abnormally fast as he blocked the attack with his profound sword.
With a clang, he retreated a few steps, but the demon wolf appeared to be unharmed.
After hastily defending, Lin Cheng finally understood that there was still some distance between him and the demon wolf. However, the gap wasn't too big, which made him feel a lot more at ease.
The demon wolf's attack followed with three more explosions. One claw was faster than the other. Its ice-cold claws attacked Lin Cheng's head every single time as if it wanted to kill him.
Lin Cheng was slightly shocked. It seemed that the attacks from the Magic Beasts had a target as well.
However, he was calm and continued to block the attacks of the longsword time and time again.
The quality of the profound swords, was indeed not bad. No matter how fierce the demon wolf's attack was, he was able to block it. However, the strength of the demon wolves were still at the second grade. After resisting a few times, Lin Sheng felt his hands ache and was no longer feeling that good. This left him somewhat speechless. It seemed that he couldn't do anything if this continued.
Only by taking the initiative to attack would he be able to win.
Seeing that he did not resist, the demon wolf thought that Lin Cheng was easy to bully. And then, his body flew forward at high speed, charging to his right. He grabbed downward and shifted his body. He moved to the left side and continued to attack.
He kept changing positions, relying on his speed to suppress Lin Cheng.
Seeing this from afar, Fei La was secretly worried. A demon wolf was far more cunning than a magical beast of the first rank. Its attacks were also so fast. On top of that, his strength was not bad. It was likely that it would be difficult for Lin Cheng to hold on to his position even if he wanted to.
Lin Cheng blocked many times and retreated many steps back. However, he was observing the demon wolf alone.
He discovered that the Demon Wolves had a special characteristic. Every time they wanted to go somewhere, their eyes would always turn towards that place. Just now, when the demonic wolf had attacked, it immediately looked to the left. He then moved to the left, attacking with his claw and looking to the right. The next moment, it was also at the exact same location.
Ling Tian had already found a way to deal with the demon wolf's fatal weakness. He was still in the midst of resisting. Time and time again, he blocked, and again and again he retreated.
However, the demon wolf seemed somewhat excited. From its point of view, it seemed as if it had already won.
Suddenly, the demon wolf attacked again, its claws fiercely reaching towards Lin Cheng's neck. If he was caught, it would definitely bring about a horrifying result. However, Lin Cheng brandished his Xuan Sword and blocked it. As for the demon wolf, it looked to the left and began to move its body.
Lin Cheng's heart turned cold as he thought to himself, "This is the moment!"
As expected, the body of the demon wolf had arrived at the location it had previously aimed at. And what awaited it was Lin Cheng who was already prepared for this moment.
Suddenly, the Xuan Sword struck out.
The Thirteen Whirlwind Swords had finally made their move.
His sword moved in the air and stabbed towards the ten swords in the blink of an eye. The target of every strike was the stomach of the demon wolf that had been predicted long ago.
It had been struck by the sword, and had relied on the terrifying defense of the magical beast to block it. As a result, the second sword attack was still able to block it. However, next, sword after sword, all eight swords struck at one place.
Its defense was finally broken, and Lin Cheng's Mysterious Sword successfully stabbed into the demon wolf's body.
When it was pulled out, it carried an endless bloody sword.
The Demon Wolf was caught in the fire of the sword. Its aura was clearly much weaker, and its speed was still several times slower than before.
While he was sick, he had to take his life!
However, Lin Cheng did not stop. He circled to the left side of the magical beast and jumped up. As his body was in the air, he flicked his wrist, and a sword light flashed as another ten sword strikes were thrusted out.
However, the target this time was the demon wolf's neck.
After the demon wolf was injured, its defense was even weaker.
It blocked the first strike, but the remaining sword move pierced into the neck again and again.
Lin Cheng's final strike stabbed deeply, causing him to be thrown into the air. He used all his strength and slashed a long gash on the magical beast's neck, all the way to its abdomen.
Blood gushed out!
After a short while, the demon wolf fell to the ground and began to struggle. Finally, it stopped moving.
It seemed that he had successfully killed off the magical beast.
Finally, he revealed a faint smile.
However, it looked rather thrilling. If he hadn't seen through the demon wolf's weakness just now, he might not have been able to finish the battle so quickly. And the strength of a magical beast of the second rank allowed him to experience great power.
He smiled and walked towards the demon wolf. From its body, he produced an Inner Core.
He had already seen this inner core when he had pulled open a big hole.
"The demonic energy of a demon wolf is pretty good. It can cultivate inner pellets!" Lin Cheng said with a smile.
"That's right, our luck is pretty good this time. However, the value of this inner core of the demon wolf wasn't too high. "At most, I can buy two hundred taels of gold. If I want to pay tuition, I have to get rid of five of these powerful magical beasts!" Fela said.
The rarity of a demon wolf could only be described as mediocre.
In reality, the number of demon wolves had always been quite large. It made its neidan not too precious.
Lin Cheng nodded.
However, he also knew that if he were to meet a Class 2 Magical Beast, he would be able to earn over a thousand silvers with just a single inner core.
However, beast kings were extremely difficult to find.
There were even fewer Class 2 Magical Beasts than that.
After getting rid of the magical beast, Lin Cheng rested for a while before entering the cave again.
In the days to come, however, he encountered quite a few magical beasts of the second rank. Within three days, he encountered three. He relied on his keen combat talent, and was always able to see through the weakness of magical beasts, and succeeded in killing them. In this way, he'd received at least eight hundred taels of gold, and was getting closer to his goal.
During the course of the battle, his Thirteen Whirlwind Swords had also improved, allowing him to successfully execute twelve of them. As for this move, it was several times more powerful than before.
Now that he had killed a Class 2 Magical Beast, he could do it in one move.
On the other hand, if one was at stage nine of the Fighter realm, the result would be unparalleled. It would be so easy to challenge someone at a higher level than him, and it would not be common on the continent.
"I should be able to suppress my strength enough. Now is the time to break through!" Lin Cheng thought.
After a month of suppression, even when facing off against powerful magical beasts, he still hadn't broken through. And now, he felt that the opportunity had come. This breakthrough would surely bring him great benefits.
After a period of suppression, Lin Cheng was looking forward to it. Would his strength become stronger after his breakthrough compared to an ordinary Dou Ling?
After all, suppressing his strength was useless against him. He was currently in the midst of trying to figure it out. If he succeeded, he would be able to suppress his opponent at the peak of the next realm for a period of time. However, if he did not succeed, he would not use this method of cultivation.
At night, Lin Cheng told Fei La that he was about to break through. Then, he sat down in meditation to absorb the spiritual energy.
Hearing this, Fei La was overjoyed. As far as she was concerned, she was gaining benefits from the battle. If it wasn't for the battle, he wouldn't have broken through so quickly.
However, after Lin Cheng broke through, Fei La remained on guard and did not allow the Magic Beasts to attack him.
Under the big tree, the Spiritual Energy that Lin Cheng inhaled was immeasurable, but his battle qi was getting more and more abundant. As he continued to break through, the barrier began to loosen. It was getting more and more intense. A smile gradually appeared on his face. It seemed that the process of his breakthrough was extremely relaxed.
