C11 The four divine beasts
Roar!
The four Godbeasts raised their heads to the skies and howled loudly. Their shrill cries shook the entire forest. Hearing this, Ling Tian's heart started to tremble. The strength of this magical beast was much stronger than Wen Lan.
As for the Four Divine Beasts, they were virtually perfect.
To be able to possess the aura of four types of demonic beasts, it possessed the tyranny of a tiger, the speed of a leopard, the agility of a cat, and the tact of a monkey.
A peak-stage magical beast of the fourth rank was definitely a formidable opponent.
Du Xue'er, who was at the side, was a bit worried for the first time. This wasn't a competition. If they were to lose, they would be fatal. She had no idea if Ling Tian would be able to win.
Bang!
With a wave of a cat's paw, the four Divine Beasts, like demons and ghosts, charged forward and appeared in front of Ling Tian in the blink of an eye. If not for Ling Tian being on alert, he would not have noticed it at all.
The speed of the Four Divine Beasts was already astonishing.
Du Xue'er was shocked. The Four Divine Beasts were ten times faster than the magical beasts they had encountered.
However, Ling Tian's reaction was timely. As the Four Divine Beasts swung their claws towards Ning … Like Hong Yan, he spread open his arms and leaped several dozen meters away.
This was his Great Swallow Art, the movement technique for the Count's Mansion. He hadn't used it before, but this time, he was forced to use it.
The claws of the Four Divine Beasts missed. They landed on the ground, sending rubble flying everywhere. On the ground where Ling Tian was standing, a gigantic cave had already appeared. If he hadn't avoided it in time, it would have been very bad.
This kind of magical beast possessed immense strength, causing fear in the hearts of others.
Ling Tian stood coldly outside as he looked at this magical beast, feeling indescribably excited. It had been a long time since he had met an opponent that could make him feel pressured. His aggressive nature seemed to have shone once again.
When the Ling family was competing with the Great Elder, he had never given up. He had fallen and stood up again and again. Now that he was in a life or death situation, Ling Tian was even more unwilling to give up.
"Eat my fist!" Ling Tian then placed his sword in his left hand and formed a fist with his right hand. Like lightning, he threw out a Whirlwind Vajra Fist. With a bang, it struck the body of the Four Divine Beasts. What surprised him was that the Four Divine Beasts' skin was abnormally smooth.
The fist followed the direction of its hair and dislocated it.
Most likely, only a tenth of the power of this attack would be transmitted to the Four Divine Beasts.
Ten percent of the attacks were completely ignored by the Four Divine Beasts.
"Awoo!"
The Four Divine Beasts lifted their heads and cried out loudly, as if mocking Ling Tian for the lack of effect in his attacks. However, the arrogance in his eyes roused Ling Tian's fighting spirit.
Not being able to do so with a single punch, he silently sent out a palm strike.
Aside from being silent, the Windless Palm could also hit the opponent through the air. For example, for an opponent with strong defense like this, a palm force that could penetrate through the air could have completely entered its body.
The Four Divine Beasts weren't human, after all; they couldn't tell how powerful this palm attack was. He was still standing there apathetically, completely disdainful of this move.
His palm silently slapped against the body of the Four Divine Beasts. This time, it was completely different. There was no sound at all. It was as if he was attacking without any trace of Dou Qi.
However, the Four Divine Beasts quickly realized that something was off. A large amount of battle-qi was being transmitted from the opponent's palm. This dou qi directly ignored his own defense, penetrating through his flesh.
Roar!
The pain was unbearable for the Four Divine Beasts. No matter how strong one was, it was extremely difficult for them to injure their internal organs. The defenses of the Four Divine Beasts were completely unable to withstand the Seamless Palm.
Du Xue'er saw this and was overjoyed. He never thought that Ling Tian would be able to reverse the situation so easily. It seemed that he had already injured the Four Divine Beasts. She couldn't help but sigh. This person's combat talent was quite good. To be able to find each other's weak points twice was definitely going to be quite troublesome to deal with.
Ling Tian, on the other hand, was not excited.
His sudden attack just now had been a coincidence. If the Four Divine Beasts had been more careful, they would have been able to dodge his attack. The previous strike had worked. Most likely, his next attack wouldn't have been as smooth as before.
Indeed, after the Four Divine Beasts ate Ling Tian's palm energy, they became extremely irritable. Its four legs bent slightly, and a powerful wind blew past. Ling Tian could only see a claw flashing with cold light, attacking him once again.
The speed was so fast that he didn't have time to react or dodge. But Ling Tian's reaction was fast. He raised the sword in his left hand to his right and with a wave, he was in front of the magical beast.
The Four Divine Beasts coldly snorted, their claws continuing to extend outwards, not caring about Ling Tian's weapon at all.
The sharp claws directly broke the longsword, and the demonic claw instantly appeared in front of Ling Tian. Ling Tian did not react at all, never expecting that the longsword was not a match for claws.
When there wasn't enough time for danger, he would retreat a little bit. His claws brushed past Ling Tian's body.
"So close, if I'm a bit slower, then I'm dead for sure!" Ling Tian muttered to himself, but when he looked at his sword, he could not help but reveal a trace of worry.
Du Xue'er was also scared to the point that cold sweat flowed down her back. This sword had been in her spatial ring for a long time. This was the sword she had used a few years ago. Behind her, her father gave her this Red Cloud. It was better than the previous sword, so she used this.
But now, the longsword had been destroyed.
Under the attacks of the Four Divine Beasts, Ling Tian did not look too good.
Seeing Ling Tian in such a dangerous situation, Du Xue'er's heart almost rose up to her throat in fright.
"Do you need help?" Du Xue'er gripped her Red Cloud Sword tightly as she thought in her heart.
However, he saw Ling Tian waving his hand, as if he knew that he would go over and then go over. Du Xue'er could only watch him attentively, thinking that she might not be able to help in the past.
Ling Tian was slightly surprised that the Four Divine Beasts had destroyed his sword, but he quickly calmed down. He was a very tenacious person. On the day of the annihilation of his clan, he was able to endure those kinds of things. And now, there were no problems at all.
Ling Tian thought to himself, "With the sword destroyed, it looks like I can only use the Windless Palm. I can't do anything else!"
With a hint of excitement, the Four Divine Beasts succeeded in destroying the enemy's weapon. When he looked at Ling Tian, he seemed to see a dead man. The Four Divine Beasts let out a strange howl, then stretched out their claws, moving as fast as lightning.
Once again using the Great Swallow Art, Ling Tian's body, like a giant goose, suddenly jumped up dozens of meters, passing through the heads of the four God Beasts and landing steadily behind them.
The Four Divine Beasts launched their attacks, their bodies still in front of them. He didn't see his opponent, but he couldn't feel anything from behind him. The Four Divine Beasts felt that something was amiss. Indeed, in the next moment, a tiny palm pressed against their backs.
And then, a strong wave of energy rushed into his body.
Ling Tian once again used the Windless Palm, and no one could even feel the aura from his movements. After successfully attacking the Four Divine Beasts, he no longer hid his true power. All of his battle-qi surged towards the Four Divine Beasts like a tidal wave.
The eyes of the Four Divine Beasts widened, and they screamed out in agony.
By the time the attacks came to an end, the Four Divine Beasts no longer looked very good. Dou Qi caused a lot of damage to the body. The reason why it was still barely able to stand was because of the strength of the Magical Beast's body.
Otherwise, he would have been able to kill it with just that one strike.
"Roar!"
The furious roars of the Four Divine Beasts had also died down quite a bit.
When it turned around, its eyes were blood-red and filled with hatred. However, his breathing was not as smooth as before. Suddenly, he waved his claws and started to attack in a frenzy.
Ling Tian could tell that the Four Divine Beasts were at the end of their tether. If they were to erupt with such power now, they might not be able to hold on for long. He was quite confident in his dou qi.
"I won't fight it head on!" Ling Tian thought to himself as he executed the Great Swallow Art. His body was like a large bird, nimbly dodging the attacks of the violent winds and torrential rain.
Du Xue'er watched nervously and tightly held her hands. Although Ling Tian currently held a huge advantage, Du Xue'er was already afraid. If the Four Divine Beasts managed to catch their breath, they would probably deal a great amount of damage to him.
"We have to kill the Four Divine Beasts!" Du Xue'er thought.
Ling Tian was still very calm, even though he had just injured the Four Divine Beasts' vitals. However, he wouldn't let it go if he didn't kill it successfully.
The attacks of the Four Divine Beasts gradually slowed down. His body was already injured, so this attack only caused more damage to his body. And now, the situation wasn't looking good.
Seeing him on the verge of collapse, Ling Tian decided to give him a blow. His body suddenly increased in speed, charging towards the Four Divine Beasts and slamming a palm against their chests. His battle-qi instantly exploded outwards.
Du Xue'er, who was at the back, saw this and was even more shocked. A trace of killing intent was emitted from Ling Tian's body. After such a long period of training, his strength had increased by a lot.
In the end, when the final daggers of battle-qi charged through, the bodies of the Four Divine Beasts were no longer able to withstand it. It glanced at Ling Tian unwillingly with a hint of regret in its eyes as its body crashed onto the ground.
"It really wasn't easy for him to finally get rid of the Four Divine Beasts!" Ling Tian was extremely happy in his heart. After that fight just now, he seemed to have learned a lot of combat experience. In the midst of battle, he also gained a sliver of understanding.
After the battle ended, he faintly felt that he was about to break through.
Du Xue'er came over and asked him with concern if he was alright. Ling Tian could only shake his head, unable to speak. As for him, he simply sat on the ground, meditating as he broke through.
Du Xue'er was stunned for a moment. Was the fight from before about to break through? She smiled. If that's the case, it's a good thing.
Above a Da Dou Shi was a Dou Wang. After entering this realm, one's strength would increase even more, and one would also be able to undergo a complete transformation in their physique. A Da Dou Shi was the second threshold for training. A person who had become a Dou Wang would have a strength that was completely different from before.
Du Xue'er held her longsword and walked in front of the Four Divine Beasts, preparing to take out its core. This was different from the magical beasts they had killed before. By using the inner cores of the Four Divine Beasts as medicine, even Du Xue'er would be able to break through.
However, just as he was about to make his move, he felt a strong aura coming from afar, as if someone was rushing over.
Du Xue'er increased her speed and quickly broke through the Four Divine Beasts. Naturally, the power of her longsword wasn't bad either. It was incomparably sharp.
