Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

It wasn't a very large animal.

It was even a leopard-shaped monster that appeared somewhat slender.

It is entirely black, with fur as smooth as the finest silk.

It has no other colors, as if it can absorb all the light around it.

They blended perfectly into the shadows inside the clock tower, were it not for those eyes that gleamed with an eerie light.

They are almost impossible to detect.

It is only two meters long and less than one meter tall at the shoulder.

But within its streamlined body lies explosive power.

The pads on its four paws allow it to move silently.

Tier 3 Mid-Rank - Shadow Panther.

An extremely rare species!

Known for their speed and stealth, they are also extremely intelligent!

A cunning and ruthless apex predator.

It has been lurking at this test site for several days.

I witnessed firsthand the fierce competition and struggle among countless candidates.

Even death.

It didn't rashly hunt down those weak snacks; it waited.

Waiting for something that can arouse its hunting desire.

A main course that can make it serious.

Now, it has finally gotten what it's been waiting for.

The young human below exuded a sense of vitality.

It possesses an unprecedented heat and richness, like a walking treasure.

What interests it even more is...

That human's fierce courage in battle!

calm down!

And... there was a faint sense of unease that even it felt.

She was the perfect prey.

The shadowy leopard's tail tip swayed gently.

It made a sound from its throat that only it could hear.

A low, almost excited roar.

It watched as Chen Xing continued to venture deeper, completely unaware of what was happening.

Watching his increasingly weary steps.

The scheming and cruelty in their eyes grew stronger.

But it did not act immediately.

Patience is ingrained in one's bones.

It is waiting, waiting for this human to consume more.

Wait until his vigilance is at its lowest, and until he steps into the place you have carefully chosen.

The most ideal place for an ambush.

……

Dusk enveloped the dilapidated monster town.

The daytime carnage gradually subsided, replaced by a deeper silence.

The shadows of the ruins were stretched long.

It was as if a monster lurked, ready to devour its prey.

Chen Xing had just 'laboriously' killed a beast that had been attracted by the smell of blood.

A Tier 2 mid-level Poisonous Porcupine in poor condition.

He leaned against a half-burnt, charred section of the broken wall.

He was breathing slightly heavily, and there seemed to be fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

The hand holding the Dragon Spine Staff also seemed less steady than before.

He closed his eyes, his chest heaving.

It was as if they had fallen into a brief state of exhaustion and recuperation after a fierce battle.

Vigilance has been reduced to a minimum.

This is the perfect image of prey.

Ten meters away, there was a pile of construction waste.

In the dense shadows where light could barely penetrate.

Those vertical, eerie green pupils were like two flickering flames in the darkness.

He stared intently at Chen Xing, who was leaning against the wall.

The Shadow Panther's patience reached its peak at this moment.

It has also waited for what it considers the best time.

The prey is relaxed and exhausted.

And it faces away from the direction most advantageous for it to launch a sneak attack.

It's now!

A dark, phantom-like figure that seemed to absorb all light!

It suddenly flowed out from that shadow!

It was like a darkness compressed to its extreme.

It covered a distance of ten meters in an instant, at a speed that exceeded the limits of what the average person's eye could perceive.

They aimed straight for Chen Xing's unsuspecting back of the neck!

The sharp tips of the claws gleamed with a cold, eerie light.

That's enough to easily tear steel apart!

A deadly weapon that pierces through the skull of a monster!

A deadly strike from a top hunter.

Silent, without a sound!

But it is as fast as lightning and as ruthless as a venomous snake!

Claws were positioned near the back of Chen Xing's neck.

Less than half a foot left!

At this critical moment—

Chen Xing suddenly opened his eyes!

Deep within the pupil!

Two dazzling, almost tangible golden flames suddenly burst into flame!

Where is there even a trace of fatigue or relaxation?

There was only a chilling, bone-chilling killing intent!

[Battle Spirit Overwhelming!]

open!

Om-! ! !

An invisible and intangible terrifying spiritual aura!

Centered on Chen Xing, it erupted with a roar!

This time, he gave it his all.

He unleashed all the fighting spirit of the Second Realm Upper-Level Battle Saint Body.

And the ferocity and malevolence accumulated from days of killing were all poured into it!

An invisible mental shockwave swept around like a tsunami!

The shadow leopard's eerie green pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints!

It had never encountered such terrifying mental pressure before!

The feeling was unlike being watched by a human being.

It's more like his soul has been locked onto by an ancient ferocious beast!

Its movement was due to this suddenness!

The shock, originating from the soul, was extremely brief!

But it could be fatal—

Froze for a moment!

Although this stiffness lasted for less than 0.5 seconds.

With its mid-level third-tier strength and formidable will.

They also broke free from suppression.

The claws, still determined to kill, tore down fiercely!

However, this 0.5-second delay...

For Chen Xing, that was enough!

He did not try to avoid what was so close at hand.

A strike as fast as lightning.

Because he never intended to hide from the very beginning!

What he was waiting for was this beast's full-force claw attack!

*Sizzle!*

A sickeningly loud tearing sound rang out!

Chen Xing's combat uniform on his back was easily torn open as if it were made of paper!

The four cuts were so deep that the bone was visible.

A gruesome wound, with flesh torn and rolled back, instantly appeared on his bronze back!

Blood gushed out like a fountain.

The blood stained the crumbling walls and the ground beneath his feet!

A sharp pain shot through me!

But Chen Xing's eyes shone with an extreme brightness at this moment!

We'll tough it out!

Trading injury for life!

No, it's about trading injury for a golden opportunity to counterattack!

[Indestructible Vajra (Minor Success)] Reduces damage taken from Tier 3 attacks by 20%!

Combined with the powerful physical foundation of the Battle Saint Body, and his deliberate adjustment of his posture.

Using the thickest part of its back muscles to withstand the attack, this claw strike looks terrifying.

However, the spine was not seriously injured; it was only a severe injury to the skin and flesh!

The Shadow Panther, however, unleashed a full-force attack.

The body is in a state of temporary imbalance as new energy has not yet been generated.

Moreover, Chen Xing's ability to withstand the attack exceeded its expectations.

My mind wavered for a moment!

It's now!

"Die, you son of a bitch!!!"

Chen Xing let out a roar.

Using the force of the claws tearing, he suddenly exerted force with his waist.

Forced reversal!

The Dragon Spine Staff in his hand was already poised to strike.

With all his strength!

Fighting spirit!

And that boiling killing intent!

It drew a black arc that tore through the night sky, sweeping outwards!

【Mountain-Crushing Staff - Sweeping Through a Thousand Armies】!

Ugh—!

The wind from the stick was like thunder!

The rapidly enlarging shadow of the stick was reflected in the dark leopard's eerie green pupils.

The deadly sense of crisis made all the black fur on its body stand on end!

It let out a sharp, piercing screech.

In the nick of time, he displayed the incredible agility and flexibility of a top hunter!

Its streamlined body suddenly shrank as if it had no bones.

With their limbs huddled together, they managed to escape at the last possible moment.

He narrowly escaped the wind from the stick and tumbled backward.

They vanished instantly into the shadow of another collapsed house ten meters away.

His aura was perfectly contained once again.

Boom! ...

The Dragon Spine Staff slammed into the broken wall that Chen Xing had been leaning against!

The half-person-high wall shattered instantly.

Rocks flew everywhere, and dust filled the air!

Chen Xing leaned on his cane, breathing heavily.

The wound on his back was bleeding profusely.

But he stared intently at the shadowy spot where the Shadow Panther had disappeared, his eyes sharp as knives.

The Shadow Panther slowly emerged from the shadows.

The dark green pupils were fixed on Chen Xing, and in that gaze...

For the first time, he showed undisguised shock!

fear!

And... a hint of furious anger at being fooled!

It crouched low, emitting a threatening growl.

A trickle of dark red blood oozed from the corner of his mouth—

Although I dodged the blow.

However, the terrifying power carried by the staff and its intense fighting spirit still damaged its internal organs.

A man and a beast stood facing each other, separated by a distance of more than ten meters.

A palpable sense of impending doom clashed in the twilight!

"Mid-tier Tier 3, Shadow Panther... truly lives up to its name."

Chen Xing wiped the blood that had seeped from the corner of his mouth from the force he had exerted.

Looking at that elegant yet dangerous black beast.

His eyes burned with an almost frenzied fighting spirit.

"However, you're not qualified to treat me like a snack!"
