Chapter 88

Although the large yellow bear seemed honest, it was actually treacherous.

During the struggle, the earth elemental demonic aura had already thoroughly penetrated the small forest underground. At this moment, it suddenly exerted its force. From the ground beneath Jun Wuming, numerous smoke-yellow demonic auras transformed into earth spikes, piercing out suddenly!

The dim yellow light condensed on each sharp spike, flowing with a substantial, yellow, demonic glow!

The earth spikes shimmered with yellow light, and Jun Wuming had no doubt that if he were hit, his intestines would be pierced and his stomach torn apart!

However, how could he, who was familiar with the treacherous nature of the earth yellow bear, not take precautions!

A cold smile on his face, he looked coldly at the earth yellow bear, which was still gloating.

Jun Wuming's extremely powerful willpower had already sensed the demonic aura's movement underground earlier. He merely pretended to be unaware, while secretly mobilizing the intangible sword embryo in his divine palace, transforming it into a crystalline sword hidden in his palm!

With the large clumsy bear's sneak attack, Jun Wuming's foot fiercely tapped the ground, transforming him into a shadow that advanced instead of retreating.

"Fine Rain!"

Sss!

A cold light cut through the air, the sound of the sword aura slicing the void like tearing silk.

A point of sword aura suddenly burst forth, transforming into a rainstorm of sword aura, forming a meat grinder that fiercely cut towards the bear attempting to ambush him!

The cold light rained down, layer upon layer, enveloping the earth yellow bear, which was still gloating!

"Rain Sword, Spin!"

A cold smile on Jun Wuming's lips, he flew through the air, his sleeves swirling as he pointed lightly. The flying, fine sword light instantly came under his control, spinning in the air to form a fine fish-scale vortex!

A cold, chilling aura spread, the moisture in the air freezing into a snowstorm.

The swirling cold light vortex was like a vortex cutter, terrifying to behold.

"Despicable!"

The cold light enveloped the air, the fine, rain-like fish-scale sword aura causing the earth yellow bear's face to change drastically.

"Earth Shield!"

With a roar, the yellow bear fur on its body glowed brightly, and the demonic aura in the air swirled in its hands, forming a huge yellow elemental shield.

Seeing this, Jun Wuming laughed, thinking, "Want to block? Dream on!"

"Profound Yin Divine Light! Slash!"

A black divine light behind his head swept out, like a waterfall or a rainbow, instantly brushing away the earth elemental shield in front of the earth yellow bear.

"Wave Palm! Shave off your fur!"

The divine water power in his palm surged like a sea tide, pushing the sword storm with a powerful gust of wind.

"Roar, roar, roar, roar"

Caught off guard, the elemental shield suddenly lost its magical power and crumbled into a cloud of yellow earth. The fish-scale sword storm precisely enveloped the earth yellow bear as it tried to escape!

Aaah, aaah, aaah!

Painful cries, interspersed with loud curses.

Numerous large green stones were shattered by its immense strength. The fine sword light cut through, and large patches of dark red blood mist flew, staining the large and small rocks around the stone mountain. Red spots dotted the area, and a faint, bloody smell spread far in the wind!

The fine rain sword storm enveloped its body from the buttocks down.

Blood splattered, and chunks of flesh were cut off by the sharp sword aura. The yellow bear's buttocks were now flat and bloody, causing it to jump in pain.

Huff, huff!

Bloodshot eyes, anger rising, the earth yellow bear bared its teeth and stomped the ground, immense strength surging through its body. Countless large and small rocks, as if unaffected by gravity, floated around it.

"Gravity Domain?"

Scaring me, Jun Wuming's eyes glowed, his gaze coldly locking onto the earth yellow bear. It seems the lesson wasn't enough!

He turned his hand, and a three-foot-long, transparent black sword blade, gleaming with a cold light, rose from his palm. The black divine light was invisible in the night, only revealing a central point of purple light, as if it wanted to swallow all the darkness in this dark forest.

A faint essence flowed over the plain, crystalline black longsword, the black material seeming to absorb all the darkness in the world, leaving only the sword hilt in Jun Wuming's hand, with faint sword patterns.

Snap!

He merged the cold iron longsword, and instantly the black sword embryo disappeared into the longsword. As if awakened, a mysterious cold aura field suddenly emanated from the cold iron longsword.

Whoosh, whoosh!

A slight turn, the cold light sliced through the air, the sharp cold light making the earth yellow bear's heart race!

"Innate Sword Embryo?"

The earth yellow bear's eyes widened, examining the invisible sword embryo in the darkness. It secretly cursed, "I, the old bear, am truly unlucky. If I had known, I would have swapped patrol areas with that bald-tailed wolf."

According to the elders of the clan, the most prominent characteristic of human sword cultivators with outstanding talent is the formation of an innate sword embryo.

There are scattered records in the ancestral memory, stating that an innate sword embryo is forged by cultivators with extremely high sword mastery, using their life-bound sword intent as the foundation. Once the sword embryo is formed, the sword aura transforms into light, blending reality and illusion, which is not something they, these minor demons, can handle!

Once the sword embryo breaks free, an innate sword is formed, capable of transforming reality and illusion, and even cutting through space. The elders have long advised that before their Dao cultivation is complete, if they encounter such cultivators, they should run and not fight to the death or engage in a group attack. Sword cultivators are the least suited for group attacks and become even stronger in battle, often breaking through in critical moments!

The best way to deal with sword cultivators is to instantly kill them; otherwise, if time is prolonged, they will surely suffer harm!

With a grim face, prioritizing survival, the large yellow bear raised its hands and shouted loudly, "Hero, stop! I, the old bear, won't fight anymore, I surrender!!"

Wriggling its bloody buttocks, the large yellow bear, ignoring the pain, made a loud noise and ran from the rocks, shouting for surrender as it ran.

Jun Wuming was taken aback, "Surrender? No way!" His face turned cold, and with a mental command, the sword embryo transformed into light, dancing in the air, cold auras penetrating the yellow bear's body, causing it to feel a faint pain. His face was icy, and he looked at the dodging large yellow bear with ill intent.

"Not fighting anymore? How do we settle the account for your sneak attack on me!!"

The cold light shimmered, the sword embryo transformed into a giant dragon of sword aura, enveloping the large yellow bear. The sword light was bone-chillingly cold, terrifying the large yellow bear.

"Hero, hero, stop! I, the old bear, will compensate for your loss, please stop this sword!! These sword auras are making me dizzy!!"

Jun Wuming's expression was cold, and he glanced at the fat bear. The bear was pleading for mercy, but its eyes flickered with resentment, clearly not sincere. If he let it go today, it would surely gather a group to seek revenge in the future!

After much consideration, his face softened slightly, and he nodded, "Alright, I'll withdraw the sword storm. If you behave, I won't harm you, but if you try to trick me..."

The large yellow bear was secretly pleased, thinking that these cultivators were indeed as greedy as the elders said. If he promised them benefits, he could escape. Then, he could return to the clan, rally the members, and avenge this humiliation!

With a pleased heart, but a sorrowful face, the two, each harboring ulterior motives, began to scheme.

Both had smiles on their faces, one forced, the other insincere, both wishing to kill the other immediately!

"Brother Bear, what treasures do you have? Can you show me to broaden my horizons?"

With a smile, seeing the treacherous yellow bear hesitantly covering its bloody buttocks, Jun Wuming remained calm, smiling as he approached, stroking his smooth chin, and scrutinizing the large yellow bear like a merchant.

"Treasures?"

The large bear's face froze. It seemed he hadn't brought any treasures on this trial, except for one item kept close to his body, and the rest were hidden in his cave.

"No treasures?"

Jun Wuming's face darkened, a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes. What a guy, trying to write a blank check?

He formed a sword gesture with his hand behind his back.

"Slash!"

The sword light suddenly burst from the sky, like a flying dragon. With a turn, the smile still on his face, the large yellow bear didn't have time to react before a sword light descended from the sky, piercing through its head and splitting it in two!

Sss!

Blood splattered, steam rising.

A point of yellow light instantly flew out from the split head of the large yellow bear, a faint, trembling light. A small, slightly transparent earth yellow bear spirit danced in the light, seemingly in a daze.

A black light flicked, capturing the spirit light. The large yellow bear finally reacted, a cold chill spreading through its heart, and a look of intense hatred exposed to Jun Wuming.

"Don't hate me, blame yourself for not having treasures!"

Shaking his head, he sighed slightly, adopting a saintly demeanor. The mercenary look on his face made the crowd on the platform laugh and cry.

Without waiting for the large yellow bear to curse, a black light of death from his palm thoroughly extinguished its spirit light, leaving only a bit of true spirit to be escorted by Jun Wuming into the cycle of rebirth.

A black light swept, gathering the essence blood into a bead, a smooth, red bead instantly disappearing into his sleeve.

"Medium-grade essence blood bead! Good quality!"

Suddenly, Jun Wuming's heart moved, and he looked up, seeing something unusual beside the split body of the large yellow bear!

Taking two steps forward, Jun Wuming squinted, examining the palm-sized, earth-yellow mineral.

It was hard, with a slightly mottled, earth-yellow, oval surface.

"What is this?"

Frowning slightly, Jun Wuming examined the oval mineral, comparing it with various treasures in his mind, but found no match!

"Useless thing?"

Shaking his head, seeing no result, Jun Wuming decided not to think about it. He casually put the small thing into his treasure pouch.

Although Jun Wuming didn't recognize this earth-yellow mineral, since it was hidden in the chest of the earth yellow bear, it must be a treasure! Keeping it might be useful in the future!

After a quick look around, Jun Wuming hurriedly left the mountain. The strong smell of blood would easily attract fierce beasts, and if he didn't leave soon, he might not be able to escape!
