Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

As he strolled forward, a crystal-clear, gently flowing stream suddenly came into view. Looking upstream along the stream, about a hundred meters away, a large, robust wild boar was leading seven lively little wild boars to drink water by the stream.

Chen Wenqi's eyes lit up immediately. He then used his cultivated lightness skill to move with light steps, cautiously approaching the wild boar herd.

Wild boars are naturally alert, and they seemed to sense the subtle movement in the air around them. They suddenly stopped drinking, raised their heads, and cautiously scanned their surroundings, constantly sniffing the air.

Chen Wenqi reacted extremely quickly. Almost the instant the wild boars became alert, he immediately used his feet to leap onto a large tree next to him. He then quietly hid among the dense foliage, patiently waiting for the wild boars to lower their guard.

After a long time, once the wild boars were sure there were no more unusual movements around them, they gradually relaxed their tense nerves, lowered their heads again, and continued to drink and play by the stream.

Chen Wenqi then carefully slid down from the tree, and then, once again, tiptoed slowly toward the direction where the wild boar herd was.

When he closed the distance to the wild boar herd to about seven or eight meters, he no longer hesitated. With a sudden thought, he instantly brought the large, robust wild boar, along with its seven lively little piglets, into the Xuanwu Secret Realm.

Chen Wenqi was overjoyed. He felt that the trip to the countryside had been incredibly fruitful, and the whole process had gone smoothly without any major obstacles or dangers.

Along the way, he also encountered many dangerous creatures such as venomous snakes and insects. However, most of these small creatures are timid and weak by nature, and they generally will not attack humans unless provoked.

Chen Wenqi also specially captured a nest of highly venomous short-tailed vipers. Although the venom of this snake is extremely potent and can be life-threatening if one is not careful, as a person skilled in medicine, he understands better than anyone that poisons can also be a good medicine for treating serious illnesses under certain circumstances.

In particular, snake venom can be used to extract precious medicinal components for treating a variety of special and difficult diseases, making it extremely valuable and priceless.

Moreover, the medical book section of the Xuanwu Secret Realm Library also contains many classic books on poisons passed down through the ages. Chen Wenqi already had a plan in mind: when he had free time in the future, he would definitely study these precious ancient books carefully to explore the secrets of using poisons in medicine.

As darkness fell and the last rays of the setting sun began to fade, Chen Wenqi was about to turn and leave the forest when a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart. The feeling was sharp and urgent, making his heart tighten.

He didn't have time to think about the reasons, and instantly released all his mental energy outwards, searching all around to find the source of the danger.

With a sharp "whoosh" sound, a lithe yellow figure suddenly pounced from behind Chen Wenqi, moving with lightning speed so fast that it was almost impossible for anyone to react.

Relying on his physical instincts honed through years of martial arts training, Chen Wenqi instinctively dodged quickly to the side, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. The yellow figure almost grazed his shoulder as it pounced on him.

After missing its target, the yellow figure almost immediately changed direction and charged at Chen Wenqi with a fierce and malevolent aura, clearly not intending to let him go.

Chen Wenqi steadied himself, forcing himself to calm down. He looked closely at the yellow figure and his heart skipped a beat. It turned out that the one who attacked him was a robust adult leopard. Its eyes, as big as copper bells, were filled with ferocity as it stared intently at Chen Wenqi. Its mouth was slightly open, revealing its extremely sharp teeth, and then it pounced for the third time.

Chen Wenqi took a deep breath, shifted his foot slightly, and once again skillfully dodged the leopard's pounce. This time, while dodging, he keenly seized the fleeting opportunity to counterattack, and with a sudden burst of power from his right leg, he kicked the leopard's soft belly with great force, sending the ferocious beast flying into the air.

With a piercing wail, the leopard writhed in the air, emitting heart-wrenching screams, clearly suffering a serious injury.

Without pausing, Chen Wenqi unleashed his signature move, "Ladder to the Clouds," leaping four or five meters into the air, even taller than the falling leopard. He then raised his right leg high, his foot taut like an axe blade, and slammed it down on the leopard's head, unleashing the hidden energy he had cultivated for many years.

That incredibly powerful force instantly pierced through the leopard's hard skull, shattering its brain and completely extinguishing its life force.

With a dull thud, the leopard's body crashed heavily to the ground, its limbs limp and lifeless, clearly dead.

Even so, Chen Wenqi still dared not be careless in the slightest. He cautiously stepped forward and carefully examined the leopard's condition. Only after confirming that it was indeed completely dead and had no possibility of revival did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

This leopard was indeed extremely dangerous. Although Chen Wenqi's martial arts had already reached the Transformation Realm and he was considered a top-level expert in the martial arts world, this was still the first time he had faced such a ferocious beast face to face. He couldn't help but feel a little flustered when he confronted the leopard just now.

He roughly assessed the leopard's size and saw that it was at least 1.5 meters long. If you added its long tail, the total length would exceed 2 meters, making it a truly enormous creature.

Seeing that the leopard's fur was intact and without any damage, and that it was a strong male leopard with considerable collection and practical value, he first put the leopard's carcass into the secret realm's warehouse, planning to carefully process the leopard skin and meat when he had time later.

Chen Wenqi first flashed into the Xuanwu Secret Realm, and then immediately stepped out, leaving behind a unique spatial coordinate so that he could accurately come to this area again in the future.

He composed himself and continued forward, and before he knew it, he had already entered the territory of Yongling.
