Chapter 93 Martial Arts Determined by the Mind, Sword Technique Upgraded

Shen Bailian moved nimbly through the forest like a monkey.

The speed was neither too fast nor too slow, and the path was constantly winding and turning, changing direction from time to time, in order to prevent the ferocious beasts hidden in the dark from predicting the way.

His body was taut, like a fully drawn bowstring; beneath his upright frame lay boundless power, ready to erupt at any moment.

Shen Bailian put the mental energy suppression bracelet into his storage ring.

Therefore, Shen Bailian's senses are now extremely sharp, his energy and spirit are surging violently, his metabolism is accelerating, and he is in an extraordinary state.

This is within the second-level buffer zone.

Beasts with physical attributes of 8.0 or higher may appear at any time, and it is not uncommon for beasts to be above level 10.

The power difference between level 10 and level 11 is not 0.5 tons, but a full 1.5 tons.

Of course, we are not afraid to confront Shen Bailian head-on.

But the hunting instincts of those ferocious beasts are a real threat. These beasts are often cunning and cruel, adept at using the environment to ambush and launch surprise attacks. Any carelessness could lead to irreparable losses.

Moreover, many ferocious beasts often appear in groups, and once surrounded, the fate of the prey is predictable.

Four hours later~
Beside a stream with jagged pebbles.

Five ferocious beasts, resembling mythical beasts, surrounded a boy. The largest of them was six or seven meters long and a terrifying three meters tall at the shoulder, covered in glossy black fur.

Its gaping maw was ferocious, its teeth as sharp as daggers, snow-white and menacing.

Roar!
An angry roar, like thunder, echoed all around.

Broken boulders were scattered all around, and in the stream, there were two headless beasts, their blood gushing down into the water.

Beside the two enormous, ferocious beasts lay the remains of two bloodhounds.

"This is really troublesome." Shen Bailian frowned, gripping the Dragon Slayer tightly, feeling a headache coming on. "These five ferocious beasts all have physical attributes above level 9.0. We need to finish this quickly!"

Two hours ago, Shen Bailian accidentally encountered a bronze-armored demon wolf that was eating. Its physical attributes were as high as level 9.9, and it was about to enter the next level.

and so.

Shen Bailian naturally chose to run away, but the bronze-armored demon wolf keenly sensed his presence.

then.

It chased, he fled.

By constantly taking detours and twists, or perhaps because the Copper-Armored Demon Wolf was full and too lazy to bother with Shen Bailian, the Copper-Armored Demon Wolf gave up after chasing for a few minutes.

Meanwhile, Shen Bailian unknowingly approached a gathering place of Blood Demon Hounds. The highest physical attributes were only level 8.2, so it was as if he were in an empty place.

The war is about to start.

As Shen Bailian was killing, he encountered the sons of these ferocious beasts. Since they were all ferocious beasts, he figured he could kill them; what was the big deal?

Then, a dramatic turn of events occurred.

The son was killed, and his father, along with four companions, were hunting nearby. Upon hearing his son's painful screams, they immediately followed the scent and came to him.

Among the five ferocious beasts, even the one with the lowest physical attributes reached an astonishing level of 9.2. The father of the 'son' was the largest in size, with a terrifying level of 9.8.

This is
If you ask Shen Bailian why he can distinguish who his 'son's' father is, it's simple: he uses his perception to sense who has the strongest killing intent.

Roar!Roar!
Two of the ferocious beasts roared in unison, then pounced on Shen Bailian from both sides, attempting to kill him in one blow.

boom!
Shen Bailian, of course, would not sit idly by and wait for his death. He exerted force with both legs and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

He charged toward one of the ferocious beasts at incredible speed, violently sending the loose rocks beneath his feet flying.

With a swift movement, Shen Bailian launched a sliding tackle, turning the beast's massive body from an advantage into a disadvantage. He unleashed a burst of power with his Dragon Slayer sword, instantly slashing down on the beast's relatively vulnerable belly.

Shen Bailian was extremely fast.

This sudden turn of events caught all the ferocious beasts present off guard. The wounded beast was momentarily thrown into disarray, but the powerful momentum still caused it to collide with another beast.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

"call"

Shen Bailian took a deep breath, his body tense like a taut bowstring. Without the slightest hesitation, he thrust his right foot forward, turning ninety degrees and charging at the other ferocious beast with all his might.

As time goes by.

Several minutes passed quickly.

Shen Bailian constantly dodged the attacks of the ferocious beasts, sometimes retreating sharply to avoid being surrounded again, and sometimes charging forward.

Zhanlong was repeatedly slashed at the beast's massive body. Its enormous size became a disadvantage, as the area of ​​attack was too large, making it difficult for it to defend against the 'small' Shen Bailian.

Over time, the remaining four ferocious beasts were all wounded in many places, and bright red blood flowed out.

The drops fell onto the pebbles.

The beast's strength was rapidly declining due to excessive blood loss.

And what about Shen Bailian?
He was incredibly fast. As his running skill experience increased, he gained new insights, and his movements became increasingly agile, like a gentle breeze, making it impossible to predict his trajectory.

Even if Shen Bailian were to be attacked by a ferocious beast occasionally, his double-layered soft armor and iron body would not cause him any serious harm, as long as he was not hit repeatedly.

Compare the two.

This made the remaining four ferocious beasts even more agitated, letting out angry but powerless roars, which manifested in their fighting as—

Their attacks became increasingly chaotic, and even their previously precise coordination was now severely flawed, resulting in frequent collisions and bloodshed.

Groan!
“It’s reached its limit.”

Shen Bailian felt his right hand trembling slightly. This was not because he was about to exhaust himself, but because the shockwave on the Dragon Slayer had reached its limit and he had to release this energy.

Otherwise, it is easy to harm yourself.

"Let's go with those two."

In the blink of an eye, Shen Bailian locked onto the two most powerful ferocious beasts. His chest heaved violently, and his power rapidly expanded within his flesh and blood.

dong dong!dong dong!
The heartbeat was so powerful that blood was gushed out like a long river.

boom!
Shen Bailian vanished from his spot in an instant, the stones beneath his feet shattering with a series of crashes. A ferocious beast tried to pounce, but Shen Bailian kicked its nose in mid-air, smashing it open.

Like a thunderclap.

puff.

Faced with Shen Bailian's thunderous attack, the ferocious beast, which had already lost too much blood, flashed a fierce glint in its eyes. As hot blood spurted out, its eyes gradually became dull and lifeless.

The killings continue.

The moment he drew the Dragon Slayer Sword, the remaining force had not dissipated while new force arose. Shen Bailian's entire body's strength became one, his muscles and bones resonated, and the Dragon Slayer Sword roared, a terrifying cold light flashing in the air.

Bang!
The beast's massive body and head were instantly split in two, and due to inertia, it flew dozens of meters away before coming to a stop after crashing into several boulders.

Hot blood spurted out, but Shen Bailian dodged it by sidestepping.

[Congratulations! Your basic swordsmanship skill has improved. Experience points +1]

Congratulations, you've mastered running!

【.】

roar~~
The remaining two ferocious beasts roared angrily, their faces contorted in rage. Then, as if by telepathy, they suddenly turned around and sped away.

That's right, they ran towards the mountains and forests behind them; they chose to flee. Shen Bailian did not choose to pursue them.

Although he was stronger than those ferocious beasts, the terrain in the dense forest was intricate and complex, and if he was not careful, he would accidentally wander into the temporary territory of a powerful beast.

of course.

This is not the main reason.

After confirming that there were no more ferocious beasts around,

Shen Bailian slowly walked up to a ferocious beast that was already completely dead. Then, his face turned deathly pale in an instant, and his body swayed violently.

boom!
A dull thud echoed through the woods. Shen Bailian could no longer hold on and collapsed to his knees on the hard cobblestones.

"Exhale! Inhale! Exhale! Inhale!"

Shen Bailian placed his hands on the beast's body to support himself. His chest heaved violently, and his breathing became heavy, like a bellows being pumped, as if each breath was exhausting all his strength.

[Divine matter detected, purifying it, current progress 1%...]

This wasn't an act by Shen Bailian to evade the Sky Eye surveillance; rather, the pressure this time was simply too immense. The strongest ferocious beast possessed a physical attribute of 9.8, and what about him?
Level 7.1!
The difference in conventional maximum strength alone is almost 1.5 tons, and the speed difference is also significant, not to mention that Shen Bailian is fighting five opponents at once.

This situation forced Shen Bailian to unleash all the power he could in a short period of time. While powerful, it was not without its flaws.

Just like now, I will fall into a state of exhaustion for a short period of time.

However, if the war drags on, the situation will only become more complicated.

The most convenient measure is to cut the Gordian knot quickly.

Shen Bailian cautiously observed the surroundings, and with a slight thought, took out a first-tier basic nutritional potion from his storage ring and poured it into his mouth without hesitation.

Congratulations, you have gained 6 points of Divine Matter.

[Divine Matter: 7]

Shen Bailian had also recovered ten percent of his strength. He followed the same method and headed towards the remaining ferocious beasts.

At this point, he's not going to pretend anymore.

Anyway, even if he is seen, no one will know what Shen Bailian is doing. At most, they will think that he has killed too many people and has developed some special fetishes.

However, when Shen Bailian walked up to the strongest ferocious beast, he suddenly froze on the spot, and his expression became strange.

Something doesn't seem right.

The 'son' lying in the stream doesn't look quite like its father. The tuft of white fur on its head is somewhat similar to that of another ferocious beast that has already escaped.

Enough of the small talk, a few minutes later~
Shen Bailian glanced at the panel with satisfaction.

[Basic Knife Skills LV2 (397/400)]

[Divine Matter: 15]

"Now we can go back and take revenge."

Shen Bailian murmured softly, a smile appearing on his face, but his eyes suddenly blazed with a fierce fire—the fire of revenge.

As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge sooner rather than later.

Once the skill is upgraded, a warm current will appear in the lower abdomen, specifically the dantian area. This warm current has been proven through repeated practice to not only quickly restore one's condition.

Furthermore, Shen Bailian can use this to enter an overclocked state without weakness, resulting in a slight increase in combat power for a short period of time.

Although the time wasn't very long, the increased attribute values ​​were enough to deal with a bronze-armored demon wolf that hadn't yet reached its final rank.

The dome monitoring room of Base One.

"Team King."

"What's wrong?" Upon hearing this, the burly Captain Wang turned to look at the soldier who had called him.

"We've detected 9527 heading towards a Bronze-Armored Demon Wolf that's about to reach its final rank. Should we intervene and stop it?"

"No need. As long as he doesn't challenge first-tier ferocious beasts, there's no need to pay special attention to him." After observing for the past few days, Captain Wang has gained a more intuitive understanding of Shen Bailian's combat strength.

Top notch talent!
Unfortunately, Duan Wuyai would never release them.

"How many military merits has 9527 already earned?"

"Let me check." The soldier quickly operated the machine for a few seconds and replied, "You have earned 1899 military merits."

"Geniuses are indeed extraordinary."

Captain Wang couldn't help but sigh. He and Duan Wuyai were classmates back then, but now...?

Duan Wuyai is about to advance to the Embracing Moon Realm, while he is still only hovering in the Transcendent Realm, and there is still a distance to go before reaching the Opening Sea Realm.

but.

If we can't get Shen Bailian, a top-tier genius, we can still try to get another minor genius.

Captain Wang suddenly turned to another soldier and asked, "Xiao Li, how's the investigation about 9437 going?"

"It's been checked."

"9437, real name Zhang Hao, age 17, physical fitness level 5.7."

boom! boom! boom!
The two creatures, one large and one small, moved swiftly through the dense forest, their speeds exceeding 25 m/s. The larger creature, like a roaring tank, charged and crashed through everything in its path, leaving no tree or boulder in its wake.

In the dense forest, it sounded like hand grenades were exploding one after another.

"It seems it really did eat its fill earlier."

Shen Bailian used both his sword and fists, doing his best to resist the attacks from the bronze-armored demon wolf. He found that the mouth of his hand was gradually cracking, and the Dragon Slayer was violently shaking.

[Congratulations! Your basic swordsmanship skill has improved. Experience points +1]

This greatly surprised him; the Bronze Armored Demon Wolf was simply too powerful, probably only one step away from entering the next level.

If Shen Bailian hadn't been in the wilderness or an open area, he would probably have already been at a disadvantage and seriously injured.

boom!
Two more large trees were instantly cleaved in two, the wood fragments shooting out in all directions. One of them struck a boulder and turned into dust.

Clang! Clang! Clang!
The dragon-slaying sword could only leave a shallow mark as it sliced ​​across the dragon's scales. Only when it struck the dragon's face could it barely make a cut.

"Faster! Faster! Faster!"

Shen Bailian's eyes were still bloodshot, turning crimson. If his swordsmanship couldn't be upgraded, he would have to retreat. This bronze-armored demon wolf was the most powerful beast he had ever encountered.

Sudden.

[Congratulations! Your basic swordsmanship skill has improved. Experience points +1]

In just 0.1 seconds.

boom!
Shen Bailian was sent flying backward and crashed into the branch of a giant tree, where leaves rustled down.
