C21 Killing Him with One Slash!
Cowering behind the massive rock, Dr. Zhang was terrified, his mind in utter disarray.
"Faang Han, shouldn't we make a run for it?"
Dr. Zhang's only thought was to escape and never return to this place!
"Why run?" Faang Han responded with composure. "We haven't yet secured the Blue Star Herb."
"But even Old Mr. Jee couldn't stand up to that creature. If we don't run now, we're done for!"
Seeing Faang Han remain unmoved, Dr. Zhang grew frantic, urgently trying to convince him to leave.
The Blue Star Herb was indeed invaluable and highly sought after, a tempting prize.
But one needed to be alive to harvest it, and with the ferocious beast standing guard, the Blue Star Herbs were unattainable.
"Mr. Faang, I admit my mistake. I underestimated the danger of this journey. Had I known, I would never have put you at risk. Please, let's leave now."
Regret was written all over Dr. Zhang's face.
He had hoped to strengthen his bond with Faang Han through this adventure, but instead, they faced a perilous situation. Not only were they unable to collect the Blue Star Herb, but they also risked losing their lives!
"No, we don't need to leave."
Faang Han shook his head gently and began to approach the beast, which was the size of a truck.
"If we don't go now, it'll be too late!"
Dr. Zhang was on the verge of tears. Faang Han was advancing towards the beast—was he seeking death?
Dr. Zhang thought Faang Han, despite his expertise in medicine and alchemy, was still just a physician. With his slender and seemingly weak physique, how could he stand a chance against a ferocious beast?
Especially since the formidable Old man surnamed Jee had been gravely wounded by the beast's swipe, coughing up blood!
Yet, Faang Han showed no sign of backing down, calmly observing the creature as he walked.
"This creature is no ordinary beast. It's a descendant of the ancient Yazi."
Faang Han cast a glance at the beast and smiled lightly. "Sadly, its noble lineage has long since been diluted. It's nothing more than a mongrel now."
The ferocious beast seemed to understand human speech, abruptly turning its head to fixate on Faang Han with a glare of rage flashing in its emerald vertical pupils.
"Mr. Faang, what are you doing? Mr. Faang, come back!" Dr. Zhang cried out in desperation, unable to comprehend Faang Han's behavior.
Elder Jee, prone on the ground and at risk of being slain by the beast at any moment, also caught sight of Faang Han, his expression one of bewilderment and confusion.
"What are you doing here? Have you lost your mind?" Elder Jee asked, incredulous.
"Of course, I'm going to kill it," Faang Han replied with a smile, his tone nonchalant.
"Kill it? Just you?" Elder Jee, along with the other burly men, were taken aback by his words. They all gave Faang Han looks that suggested they thought he was out of his mind.
On one side stood a descendant of an ancient strange beast, whose sneeze alone could shake the mountains. On the other, a slender young man who hadn't even finished college. The disparity in strength was clear.
If Faang Han actually managed to slay the ferocious beast, it would be nothing short of miraculous!
Yet, amidst the skepticism of the onlookers, Faang Han advanced slowly towards the beast. With each step, his presence grew more formidable.
"This strange beast, with its Yazi lineage and centuries of cultivation, is undoubtedly a tyrant. I suspect there's no one in all of Zhonghai City who could stand against it," Faang Han murmured, shaking his head with a sigh.
"If it continued to cultivate, perhaps one day it could awaken the strange beast bloodline within and evolve into an unparalleled ferocious beast with overwhelming power. Alas, today it has encountered me."
A glint of icy light flickered at Faang Han's fingertips as a brilliant azure blaze erupted forth!
The luminous flame surged in the void, transforming into a dazzling sword beam—the Stellar Sword Technique!
In that moment, Faang Han's right hand became crystalline and radiant, shimmering with a glass-like sheen, with specks of brilliant starlight dancing around it.
The sword beam roared, its mighty force shaking the earth, causing the entire cavern to tremble as if on the brink of collapse.
"What is this?"
The onlookers were completely taken aback by the bizarre spectacle before them.
Faang Han casually lifted his right hand, and the brilliant sword light surged into the air, extending several meters in a flash. The unleashed sword energy burst forth wildly, piercing a massive hole through the pitch-dark cave.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The ferocious beast reared its head, issuing a series of roars that could deafen. Reflected in its emerald-green eyes was the silhouette of a figure wielding a sword.
Then, two robust beams of dark green light, as thick as elephant legs, burst forth from its slit-like pupils, rushing towards Faang Han like a torrential flood.
The might of the dark green light was truly fearsome, obliterating everything in its path into dust.
Yet, Faang Han's gaze remained serene, his visage exuding an intense sharpness.
With a mere gesture, he wielded the starlight from the Stellar Sword Technique and swept it forward.
His sword descended like a cascading galaxy, with countless stars spilling down like liquid silver, striking the ferocious beast with great force.
At that moment, everyone present was robbed of their capacity to think, witnessing only the divine light that cleaved through the dark green radiance, scattering it in an instant.
Crack!
The sword light, undiminished in its potency, continued its path, severing the beast's massive head and cleaving its colossal body in two.
The scales, impervious to modern firearms, unable to be marred by a bullet, now split like brittle paper under the sword's light.
The sword light, resplendent beyond measure, bathed the entire cavern in a brilliant glow.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The beast's enormous head was neatly severed, and from the smooth, mirror-like cut, a fountain of fresh blood erupted, flowing profusely.
The once vibrant green pupils faded, the large beastly eyes still brimming with profound shock and fear.
It had never anticipated that a seemingly frail human could wield such a fearsome force.
The beast's massive body, halved by the sword light, saw its fur incinerated and bones charred by the intense glow of the blade.
A strange beast with over a century of cultivation met its end under a single stroke of Faang Han's sword.
"How is this even possible?"
Everyone present sharply inhaled, unable to contain their exclamations of shock!
The burly men's eyes were wide, their mouths agape as if they could swallow an egg whole.
This was a descendant of the ancient Yazi, a creature so powerful it could wipe them all out single-handedly. Even Elder Jee was at a loss on how to deal with such a ferocious beast.
And now, it had been slain by Faang Han in the blink of an eye?
Disbelief was etched on every face; the sight before them completely overturned their worldviews and understanding!
Dr. Zhang was utterly dumbfounded. He stared at Faang Han's retreating figure, his mind reeling with shock.
He had assumed Faang Han's talents were limited to medicine and alchemy, with little skill in combat. Who could have imagined that his strength would so vastly surpass all expectations!
Old Mr. Jee watched Faang Han intently, his emotions a tangled web. After a long moment, he finally managed to stammer out,
"Immortal, Immortal Master!"
The might of a single sword had felled a strange beast!
What did that signify? Could such a feat even be within the realm of human capability?
