Chapter 9

"Are the saber-toothed beasts surrounding me?" Chen Hui’s eyes instantly narrowed. The original owner of this body, Chen Hui, had died because of the saber-toothed beasts. He never expected that he would encounter them again when he entered the No Return Forest this time. It could be said that this was a narrow encounter with an old enemy.

"Three peak fourth-stage saber-toothed beasts, they are more than enough to help me break through to the fourth-stage warrior." Chen Hui gripped the Wu Xu Sword, his gaze fixed on one of the saber-toothed beasts. Despite the darkness, he could still clearly see the saber-toothed beast charging towards him.

The saber-toothed beast was not particularly tall, reaching about the height of Chen Hui’s waist. Its skin was extremely dark, with a few spots of crystal light, indicating that it was abnormally hard, even a common fifth-stage warrior would find it difficult to penetrate.

Whoosh!

However, Chen Hui did not hesitate for a moment, instantly rushing forward. In an instant, he was in front of the saber-toothed beast, the Wu Xu Sword carrying an overwhelming killing aura, slashing down fiercely.

Roar...

This saber-toothed beast seemed to feel its dignity greatly challenged. It roared, standing up straight, towering over Chen Hui by two heads. Its front legs then stomped fiercely towards Chen Hui’s head.

Clang...

The Wu Xu Sword struck the saber-toothed beast’s front leg, the powerful impact causing Chen Hui’s body to tremble slightly, forcing him to take a step back. However, this strike also broke through the saber-toothed beast’s skin, leaving a deep blood mark on its front leg.

Aowu!

In pain, the saber-toothed beast let out an extremely angry roar, its body radiating a fierce aura. The long sword on its forehead pointed at Chen Hui, charging at him like a train.

"Die, beast!"

Chen Hui paid no attention to this. The Wu Xu Sword drew a wondrous arc in the air, and his body instantly shifted. As the saber-toothed beast approached him, the tip of the Wu Xu Sword fiercely pierced into the dark pupil of the saber-toothed beast.

Puff...

Blood spurted out.

Roar!

Kill!

However, Chen Hui did not stop there. He exerted more force, the Wu Xu Sword piercing down until it shattered the demon core in the saber-toothed beast’s head, then he quickly withdrew the sword.

Looking at the saber-toothed beast that fell to the ground in defiance, Chen Hui controlled the Dark Devil Essence Energy entering his body, his gaze shifting to the other two saber-toothed beasts charging at him from behind, his killing intent suddenly bursting forth.

Whoosh, whoosh...

The green blade shimmered with a cold light under the dim moonlight, the Wu Xu Sword slashing directly at the saber-toothed beast on his left rear.

Aow...

The second saber-toothed beast opened its huge mouth, its fangs, about a foot long, exposed, intending to bite the Wu Xu Sword that had killed its companion.

"Hmph!"

Chen Hui snorted coldly, a look of disdain in his eyes. If the Wu Xu Sword could be bitten by a small saber-toothed beast, what right would he have to carry the Wu Xu Sword and strive for the peak of cultivation?

Kill!

A cold and fierce killing intent emanated from Chen Hui, making him seem like a god of death, tightly locking onto the second saber-toothed beast.

Whoosh, whoosh...

The Wu Xu Sword seemed to sense the challenge, black light flowing over its body. Under Chen Hui’s control, it entered the saber-toothed beast’s mouth at lightning speed.

Sss, sss...

As soon as the Wu Xu Sword entered, the saber-toothed beast’s sharp fangs closed, but the sharpness of the Wu Xu Sword cut through them like tofu, then it entered the throat of the saber-toothed beast without any resistance.

Thud!

This saber-toothed beast didn’t even have time to let out an angry roar before its heavy body fell to the ground. Seeing the saber-toothed beast fall, Chen Hui stabbed its head, shattering the demon core.

Roar!

The last saber-toothed beast, seeing Chen Hui kill its two companions in just two breaths, let out a terrified roar and quickly turned to flee. At this moment, it could clearly feel the overwhelming power of the enemy, which it could not resist.

"Want to run? Too late!"

Chen Hui snorted lightly, suddenly charging at the last saber-toothed beast. The saber-toothed beast was extremely fast, even a common fifth-stage warrior couldn’t match it, but Chen Hui, who was behind it, moved like a meteor, instantly appearing behind it. Then, Chen Hui kicked off the ground, leaping high, the Wu Xu Sword carrying a sharp aura, slashing down fiercely.

Roar!

The saber-toothed beast roared, not expecting Chen Hui to catch up so quickly. In the face of the intense danger, it no longer tried to escape, turning around and letting out an angry roar like a cornered beast.

Whoosh, whoosh...

Before the roar faded, the saber-toothed beast charged out quickly, the long sword on its forehead aimed at Chen Hui.

"Want to fight like a cornered beast? No matter what, you will die today."

Chen Hui snorted coldly, completely ignoring the saber-toothed beast’s charge. A fierce sword beam shot out from the Wu Xu Sword, completely enveloping the saber-toothed beast.

Aowu...

The saber-toothed beast let out a tragic roar, emitting a wild aura, its eyes bloodshot.

"Die, beast!" Chen Hui shouted, instantly appearing in front of the saber-toothed beast, the Wu Xu Sword fiercely slashing at its forehead. This strike, with overwhelming power, directly split the saber-toothed beast’s head.

"Phew, finally killed these three saber-toothed beasts. It’s time to break through to the fourth-stage warrior." Chen Hui looked at the demon core in the saber-toothed beast’s head on the ground, about to use the Wu Xu Sword to shatter it.

"That’s a saber-toothed beast... Stop, this saber-toothed beast is our prey!" At this moment, a sudden shout came from behind Chen Hui. Then, five figures walked out from in front of Chen Hui.

"Hmm?"

Chen Hui’s expression changed, his eyes revealing a killing intent as he looked in the direction of the voice. However, when he saw who it was, his brows immediately furrowed.

"It’s you?"

Chen Hui was not unfamiliar with the newcomers. The three people in front were Jiang Linjun, Li Si, and Hu Chang, whom he had slapped away at the Hongbin Winehouse during the day. The other two were middle-aged men, their auras already reaching the fifth-stage warrior level. However, these two stood respectfully behind Jiang Linjun, clearly his bodyguards.

Jiang Linjun snorted angrily, looking at the saber-toothed beast on the ground, and stepped forward, saying, "What’s yours? Quickly hand over the demon core of the saber-toothed beast."

Li Si also looked at the head of the saber-toothed beast on the ground, but her eyes showed a hint of shock. They had felt the battle vibrations here and rushed over as quickly as possible. When they arrived, they found the saber-toothed beast lying at Chen Hui’s feet.

And the long sword in Chen Hui’s hand was still stained with blood. This meant that Chen Hui had killed the saber-toothed beast. How... how could this be?
