With a massive body like a towering mountain, the tiger-toothed giant beast pounced forward.
On her unadorned face, Liu Feiyu was filled with despair. She closed her eyes, but the image of the tiger-toothed giant beast's long and sharp fangs still lingered before her.
At this moment, Su Bai darted out, his body gliding through the air like a solitary crane. A dark, water-like sword light shimmered.
From a high vantage point, Su Bai's long sword accurately pierced the tiger-toothed giant beast's eye, and a loud metallic clanging sound echoed.
Clang! The sound was extremely loud, and Liu Feiyu suddenly opened her eyes. She stared at the thin figure before her, her lips slightly parted, and a flash of anger appeared in her clear, bright eyes. Clearly, Su Bai had tricked her again.
After the anger, Liu Feiyu was still somewhat surprised. Su Bai was indeed too bold, actually attracting five tiger-toothed giant beasts at once.
"Isn't this kid looking for death, and dragging me along with him!" Liu Feiyu gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes tightly fixed on the front, deeply afraid that the tiger-toothed giant beasts would pounce.
Piercing the tiger-toothed giant beast's eye with one sword strike required an almost divine level of control.
Su Bai turned around gracefully, drew his sword, and the massive body of the tiger-toothed giant beast swayed and fell with a loud thud. It struggled slightly and then died.
A blood column several feet tall spurted out. Stepping through the blood, Su Bai's eyes were like torches, staring at the four tiger-toothed giant beasts just a few feet away. There was no panic in his eyes, only a hint of anticipation.
"I belong to this world," Su Bai murmured in his heart. His body moved like a gentle breeze, and he swung his sword, creating a series of sword shadows.
Roar! The pungent smell of blood made the tiger-toothed giant beasts even more frenzied. Their sharp fangs swept through the air, tearing through the surrounding air and creating a series of whistling sounds.
Strangely, Su Bai always dodged at the most appropriate moments. Watching this, Liu Feiyu's sensuous, rosy lips slightly parted, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. Could Su Bai really have such terrifying reflexes?
Buzz! The sound of the sword resonated, as if coming from the heavens. Su Bai moved among the tiger-toothed giant beasts as if taking a leisurely stroll.
The sword shadows spread out, carrying a faint, dark light, like flowing water under the moonlight. These shadows always struck the tiger-toothed giant beasts' eyes, causing splashes of blood.
Blood flowers fell one after another. Su Bai took five steps, turned around, and sheathed his sword. The roars of the beasts suddenly stopped, replaced by a series of thuds.
Thud! The corpses of the beasts lay crisscrossed, and the spattered blood formed a pool.
Watching this scene, Liu Feiyu's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief, and her lips slightly parted.
Five tiger-toothed giant beasts, even an Eighth Stage Daoist Warrior would have to retreat. How much more so for Su Bai, who single-handedly and with one sword, eliminated them all.
Lifting her eyes, Liu Feiyu looked at Su Bai, who was approaching with his sword, her face full of complexity. Was this really the Su Bai she knew?
With a calm and composed expression, Su Bai glanced at the corpses below, slightly gestured with his sword, and murmured, "The previous strike could have been faster, and the force could have been more controlled."
Recalling the previous battle, Su Bai had a self-reflective look.
Seeing this, Liu Feiyu was even more speechless. Whether in control or reflexes, Su Bai was top-notch.
"Woman, the hunt has just begun!" Su Bai gave the corpses a few more strikes and walked towards Liu Feiyu, half-smiling and half-grinning, "I hope you can hold on until the end, so you can see your Senior Brother Liu Dong."
Liu Feiyu looked at the detestable face before her, and her fair, smooth face immediately turned dark. She sneered, "I hope you can hold on too, and not die in the belly of a beast."
Holding his sword, Su Bai nimbly leaped onto a tree branch, looking down at the distant forest, waiting for the next wave of beasts.
Killing five tiger-toothed giant beasts, the system awarded Su Bai sixty points, but these sixty points were not enough for him to practice for a few hours.
"Adding the beasts killed earlier, I have gained two hundred points today. I need at least three hundred more points to get through tonight's practice."
Su Bai closed his eyes slightly, and a screen immediately appeared in his mind. Looking at the points, which were less than a thousand, a bitter smile appeared on his lips. To practice well, he needed to excel in this butcher's skill.
Roar! Roar! Another series of roars echoed through the forest, and leaves rustled as several large shadows flashed through the trees.
Opening his eyes, Su Bai silently counted, "One, two, three... seven!"
Seven tiger-toothed giant beasts, carrying a fierce and sharp aura, charged forward. The pungent smell of blood made them even more frenzied.
Roar! Thick shrubs fell, raising a cloud of dust.
The earth trembled, and blood spurted.
Sharp fangs, bloodshot eyes. Watching this, Liu Feiyu drew a sharp breath and called out, "Su Bai, you're crazy, retreat quickly!"
Her clear eyes reflected the massive figures of the tiger-toothed giant beasts. Su Bai said something that left Liu Feiyu puzzled, "Eighty-four points!"
The rumbling grew louder. Just as the tiger-toothed giant beasts were within ten feet of Liu Feiyu, Su Bai moved. His agile figure shot out, and his right hand grabbed the sword with an incredible speed, slicing down with the force of splitting mountains.
Just like before, Su Bai's first strike pierced the tiger-toothed giant beast's eye.
Drawing his sword, Su Bai faced the other six tiger-toothed giant beasts. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he felt a subtle acceleration in his blood, the feeling of seeing prey.
Roar! The six tiger-toothed giant beasts roared and pounced, creating a suffocating atmosphere.
"Kill!" Su Bai roared, his right hand flipping, and a bright sword light flashed, creating visible sword shadows.
Seeing this, Liu Feiyu's heart trembled, her face changed, and her beautiful eyes showed a look of shock. She murmured, "Is this the Second Rank Sword Technique, Moon Water Sword Shadow?"
Liu Feiyu's tone was uncertain. The bright sword shadows flowed out like a gentle stream, soft yet as fast as lightning, striking the tiger-toothed giant beasts one after another.
Clang! Clang! The harsh sound of metal clashing echoed, and after six strikes, the sword shadows dissipated, and the six tiger-toothed giant beasts fell dead. Dozens of corpses piled up, forming a small hill, and blood spurted from the bodies.
"Is it over?" Liu Feiyu was somewhat stunned. The scenes of today had overturned her previous understanding, and the most impactful was Su Bai's strength. At the Sixth Stage Daoist Warrior, he could kill Seventh Stage Daoist Warrior beasts as easily as drinking water.
"The sword technique you used earlier was the Second Rank Moon Water Sword Shadow, right? You've learned this technique, haven't you?" Liu Feiyu asked softly. In her heart, she already had the answer, but she didn't want to believe it. To master a Second Rank sword technique in just one night required terrifying talent. Even the elite disciples of the Langya Sect couldn't learn this technique in such a short time. He was a genius, no, he was more terrifying than a genius; he was a monster.
A gentle breeze blew, carrying the stench of blood. Su Bai, with his back to Liu Feiyu, stepped onto the pile of corpses and said casually, "If you say so, then it is."
Roar! Roar! The earth trembled, and a large area of forest fell. Amid the flying dust, several tiger-toothed giant beasts roared out.
Ten tiger-toothed giant beasts. Su Bai's pupils constricted, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the sword. Faced with such a threat, a hint of retreat crept into his heart.
Ten tiger-toothed giant beasts were enough to bring a life-or-death pressure. This hesitation seemed to last for an eternity before Su Bai murmured, "The ancestors of the Langya Sect once said, the path of martial arts is full of thorns, and ordinary people often retreat in fear. Only those with unyielding will can persevere."
"Even with the help of the system, if my will is not as firm as a rock, I will ultimately be buried on this path!"
"The greatest enemy of a person is themselves. If one can overcome their own fear, they will fear nothing in the world!"
"Since I, Su Bai, have chosen this path, I am destined to surpass anyone, to cut through thorns, to wield the power of life and death, to defeat all who stand against me, and to rule the world!"
These words were more like a vow, a vow to the heavens. The gentle breeze blew, and Su Bai leaped forward, his entire body transforming into a demonic sword, shooting out.
Watching that not-so-tall, slightly slender figure, Liu Feiyu felt a sense of absurdity. These ten beasts could not harm Su Bai.
