Chapter 68

"Monster, there's a monster!" someone shouted frantically, and instantly the entire Cao Family Village was in an uproar, with countless martial artists brandishing torches and weapons rushing out.

However, this monster was incredibly strong. Ye Xiwén's slash, though hasty, would have split any ordinary peak Ninth Level Houtian martial artist in two. But it couldn't even break through the monster's defenses. If not for Ye Xiwén's sudden attack, which startled it, and the fact that everyone in Cao Family Village was alerted, it wouldn't have fled.

Many martial artists pursued it, but the monster was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost out of sight. Several martial artists who were caught off guard were either crushed to death or torn apart. They couldn't even stop it.

"Stop right there!" Suddenly, a low shout came from nearby. Dai Xiaohua shouted and leaped from the roof.

"Divine Fist of a Hundred Steps!" Dai Xiaohua punched, and a terrifying force instantly shook the air, chasing after the monster.

"Boom!"

The immense force actually struck the monster, and with a "crack," the monster's scales were shattered by the terrifying force.

Dai Xiaohua's strength was clearly on a different level. As a First Level Xiantian expert with two layers of Xiantian true qi, his power was evident.

The monster, in pain, wanted to stop and fight, but realizing that Dai Xiaohua was a tough opponent, it sped up even more, flying away in the night sky like a red-black flame.

Dai Xiaohua chased for a while but was gradually left behind. Although his fist technique was invincible, he clearly hadn't specialized in a particularly powerful movement technique, which put him at a disadvantage.

The principle that "greed leads to failure" is well understood by many. Dai Xiaohua had refined his fist technique to perfection, a powerful Xiantian technique, and spent most of his time practicing the Divine Fist of a Hundred Steps, so his movement technique was naturally weaker.

Moreover, the monster's speed was terrifyingly fast, naturally swift, and most people could only see a blur of red-black.

Dai Xiaohua reluctantly stopped, regretting that he was too far away to stop the monster. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past him, and a figure instantly overtook him, chasing after the monster.

Dai Xiaohua recognized it as Ye Xiwén. Watching Ye Xiwén's graceful steps, his figure seemed to glide, constantly flashing as he pursued the monster. Dai Xiaohua couldn't help but be secretly amazed by his movement technique.

The principle that "greed leads to failure" might apply to others, but not necessarily to Ye Xiwén. Even for a genius, it takes years, or even decades, to master a martial technique. But for Ye Xiwén, with enough spirit stones, he could master a martial technique in a short time. His sword technique was strong, but his movement technique was even stronger.

In just a few minutes, Ye Xiwén had already chased the monster out of Cao Family Village and into the mountains.

"Stop right there, leave it to me!" Ye Xiwén shouted, slashing his sword. The brilliant sword light, illuminated by the faint moonlight, instantly exploded through the forest, heading toward the monster.

"Roar!"

The monster, in a panic, roared and sidestepped, dodging Ye Xiwén's sword energy.

The monster turned around, its eyes glowing fiercely like two lanterns, locking onto Ye Xiwén. It let out a long howl, and a fierce aura spread out, revealing it to be a Xiantian-level beast. Ye Xiwén didn't know its species.

The monster opened its mouth, and a wave of stench hit Ye Xiwén, followed by a jet of green flames that instantly burned through the air, heading toward Ye Xiwén.

"Whoosh!" Ye Xiwén leaped, directly jumping over the monster, avoiding the green flames.

"Roar!" The monster raised its head, opening its massive mouth, ready to bite.

"Looking for death!" Ye Xiwén's long sword instantly struck, the sword light like a falling star, fiercely slashing the monster.

Crescent Moon Slash!

The power of three flying dragons was fully unleashed, concentrating over ten thousand pounds of force into a single point.

"Crack!"

A clear metallic sound rang out, and the monster was slashed to the ground, immediately rolling away.

Ye Xiwén was secretly amazed. The monster's scales were incredibly strong, and compared to humans, beasts naturally had an advantage in physical strength. But such formidable defense was rare. Ye Xiwén's full-strength attack, using the power of three flying dragons, only managed to shatter a few of the monster's scales. This defense was the strongest he had ever seen in a beast.

Such a terrifying beast, a typical First Level Xiantian expert couldn't even break through its defenses, let alone stand a chance. After their brief confrontation, Ye Xiwén had tested the monster's strength, which was undoubtedly at the peak of First Level Xiantian. Most First Level Xiantian experts would be torn apart in a few moves.

Only someone as abnormal as Ye Xiwén, who could even fight a Second Level Xiantian expert, could force it into a corner.

The monster, in pain, realized that Ye Xiwén was a tough opponent. Using the force of the attack, it rolled and then fled into the forest, even faster than before.

Ye Xiwén couldn't catch up and had to give up.

Ye Xiwén returned along the same path. By now, Cao Family Village was brightly lit, and everyone was on high alert, making it even more lively.

Many people gathered at the entrance of Cao Family Village, and when they saw Ye Xiwén return, they surrounded him.

"Brother Ye, how did it go? Did you catch it?" Dai Xiaohua asked.

"No, it got away!" Ye Xiwén didn't want to reveal too many details about their confrontation.

"What a pity! That was actually a Fire麟Beast. I didn't expect to see a Fire麟Beast here!" Dai Xiaohua said.

To explain, Xiantian and Zhen Dao are different realms. Zhen Dao is the realm after Xiantian, and I will write more about it later, so it's not a typo to write Xiantian as Zhen Dao!

The fourth update is at midnight, everyone, please support!

I recommend a friend's book, Hippo Scattered Man's historical novel, "The Great Hero of the Xinhai Revolution," which is well written. You can check it out!
