With a sneer, Lu Xuan raised the Starshattering Sword and strode towards the Green Patterned Leopard. His steps were steady as usual, as if he did not take the Green Patterned Leopard seriously at all.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was walking towards it without dodging, a trace of unease flashed across the Green Patterned Leopard's eyes. Although Lu Xuan had yet to release his powerful aura, it could still sense that there was something unusual about Lu Xuan.
But very quickly, the unease in its eyes was replaced by ferocity. As a rank nine beast, it was practically the strongest existence in this area, how could it flee without a fight? It reckoned that even if Lu Xuan was truly powerful, with its speed, it would not be a problem for it to escape.
With a low growl, its body suddenly charged forward, its front claws fiercely sweeping towards Lu Xuan. Its movements were extremely agile, as if it was the Grim Reaper in the night, silently reaping lives one after another.
In the face of the Green Patterned Leopard's attack, Lu Xuan's eyes flashed. With a flick of his wrist, the Starshattering Sword instantly struck out.
Although the Green Patterned Leopard was fast, it was nothing in Lu Xuan's eyes. No matter how fast it was, could it be faster than a Goldwing Tiger with wings?
Lu Xuan was able to kill a Goldwing Tiger when he was only at the sixth rank of the Body Refinement Realm, so his current strength was definitely not the same as before.
Lu Xuan's stab seemed ordinary, but the tip of the sword was right in front of the Green Patterned Leopard's throat before it could attack him. It looked as if the Green Patterned Leopard had voluntarily delivered itself to Lu Xuan's sword.
This strike was not a martial technique, but rather a form of Lu Xuan's own understanding of the way of the sword. Against an existence at the level of the Green Patterned Leopard, there was no need for any profound techniques. Speed, ruthlessness, and accuracy were enough.
If he really took out a martial skill like the Startling Cloud Sword Technique, it would really be like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.
Lu Xuan's casual attack was beyond the Green Patterned Leopard's expectations. While it was just a simple attack, it had completely sealed off its path of retreat, making it feel extremely uncomfortable as it was stuck in the air.
It no longer dared to charge forward. With a loud roar, the Cyan Patterned Leopard's muscles began to contract, instantly changing its attack pattern.
The strongest part of a ferocious beast was its body. It was not difficult for them to change their moves in the air.
Because of the Cyan Patterned Leopard's adjustment, its body that was charging at Lu Xuan suddenly slowed down. Because of this short pause, not only did it avoid Lu Xuan's attack, but it also bought it precious time.
The claw that was aimed at Lu Xuan changed to attack the sword in his hand. When the sword and claw collided, under the immense strength of the Cyan Patterned Leopard, even the Star Shattering Sword in Lu Xuan's hand was forced downwards.
However, the Cyan Patterned Leopard did not take this opportunity to attack again. Instead, it used this force to quickly leap into the air, turned around, and fled!
For the ferocious beasts of the Hengduan Mountain Range, especially the Cyan Patterned Leopard, which was at the top of the food chain, food was not that important. The most important thing was to preserve one's own life. As long as one was alive, there was no need to worry about food.
Although it was only a short encounter, it could already sense that this human in front of it was not ordinary. For safety's sake, it was best to escape.
Seeing that the Cyan Patterned Leopard had decisively turned around and fled, Lu Xuan was slightly stunned. This beast was quite clever, but since he had already run into it, there was no reason for him to let it go. Not to mention the fact that he urgently needed something to vent his anger, just the value of the Cyan Patterned Leopard was worth it for him to make a move.
The moment he sensed the intention of the Cyan Patterned Leopard, Lu Xuan's aura was released without reservation. Using the Thunder Rush, he quickly chased after the Cyan Patterned Leopard.
Feeling the sudden burst of aura behind it, the Cyan Patterned Leopard was shocked. Luckily, it had decisively chosen to escape. With such a powerful aura, even a tenth level beast might not be able to deal with it!
Realizing this, the Cyan Patterned Leopard sped up again. Although it was fast, Lu Xuan was faster!
The peak of the eighth level of the Body Refinement Realm not only made Lu Xuan's energy more vigorous, but also greatly increased the strength of his body. Even if he used the Thunder Rush multiple times, it would not exceed the limits of his body.
After a few consecutive Thunder Rushes, Lu Xuan had already arrived behind the sprinting Cyan Patterned Leopard. With a swing of the Star Shattering Sword, he used the Blink Sword Technique!
After advancing to the peak of the eighth level of the Body Refinement Realm, Lu Xuan's speed increased again. The Blink Sword Technique was also faster than before. The speed of his sword did not even need to blink.
In an instant, he struck six times. Six powerful sword auras shot towards the Cyan Patterned Leopard!
The Cyan Patterned Leopard roared again and again, but under Lu Xuan's extremely fast attacks, it had no way to dodge. Out of the six sword auras, it only managed to dodge one. The other five sword auras hit its hind legs, buttocks, and back respectively.
With a miserable howl, the sprinting Cyan Patterned Leopard suddenly slowed down. Lu Xuan's sword aura had practically pierced through both of its hind legs. It could no longer move.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Xuan rushed forward and cleanly stabbed his sword into the Cyan Patterned Leopard's throat, thoroughly ending its life.
More than four months ago, Lu Xuan had to use all of his strength to kill the Goldwing Tiger. Now, he was fighting against a Green Striped Panther, which was also a Level Nine beast, and he had only used three strikes from the moment he made his move to the moment he killed it.
One strike to force it to retreat, one strike to seriously injure it, and one strike to kill it. During this period, his strength had improved greatly. Without a doubt, the current Lu Xuan had enough strength to challenge a martial artist at the tenth level of the Body Refinement Realm!
Seeing that the Cyan Patterned Leopard under his feet had gradually stopped moving, the anger in Lu Xuan's heart slightly subsided. Reality proved that when a person was angry, they indeed needed something to vent their anger.
As for this Cyan Patterned Leopard, it could only blame its bad luck for provoking Lu Xuan, who was about to descend the mountain.
Casually tossing the carcass of the Cyan Patterned Leopard into his storage ring, Lu Xuan determined his direction and continued down the mountain. Killing this Cyan Patterned Leopard was only a small interlude.
Lu Xuan continued to encounter ferocious beasts as he made his way down the mountain. The lower the level, the more ferocious beasts he encountered. However, Lu Xuan did not reject any of them, and no matter how many of them came, they would all die. Even a ninth-level ferocious beast could not escape three slashes from him. These low-level ferocious beasts could be taken care of with just one slash. As for the fourth or fifth-level ferocious beasts, Lu Xuan could even kill a group of them with just one slash.
Lu Xuan was too lazy to pick up the carcasses of beasts below rank five. There were too many of them, and they were not worth much.
Because he descended the mountain in the middle of the night, Lu Xuan was a little confused about the direction and took a few wrong turns. Moreover, he came down from the depths of the mountain, so it took him a lot of time.
When he descended the mountain, the moon was still bright in the sky. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, the sky had already turned white, and a faint trace of sunlight appeared on the horizon.
The current Lu Xuan had experienced nearly a few hours of killing, and his body was filled with a murderous aura. He naturally had a dignified aura, and it was inevitable that his body was stained with the blood of the beasts, which added to his ferocity.
However, he did not care. After mingling in the secular world for so long, experiencing so many things, and seeing so many dangerous things, Lu Xuan at least understood one principle, and that was that strength was king. The stronger you displayed your strength, the more people would be afraid of you. On the contrary, if you did not reveal your strength, people would think that you were easy to bully.
When he arrived at the foot of the Hengduan Mountain Range, Lu Xuan swept his eyes around, and a few big trees immediately attracted his attention. This was the place where he had tied the Snow Dragon Horses when he and Zhang Dongshuang had ascended the mountain. However, there was no doubt that the Snow Dragon Horses had already disappeared. He did not know if they had been taken away by Zhang Dongshuang, or if they had been taken away by other cultivators.
His sense of direction was not bad. Coming down from the Hengduan Mountain Range in the dark, he did not find the wrong place. If he remembered correctly, he would reach the border town if he continued forward for a short distance.
Looking at the scene of things remaining the same, but the people changing, Lu Xuan slightly sighed. In the blink of an eye, nearly five months had passed. He did not know how Zhang Dongshuang was now, what level of strength had she reached, and whether she had avenged the Zhang family's blood feud.
As for Zhang Dongshuang, Lu Xuan still had a good impression of her. She was inexperienced and kind-hearted. Unfortunately, her family had suddenly met with an unforeseen event, causing her, a girl, to have to shoulder a blood feud at such a young age. It was really not easy.
Especially when he thought of how Zhang Dongshuang, in order to save him in the Land of Inheritance, had provided him with heat while naked, Lu Xuan could not help but blush. After experiencing the entanglement with Zhao Binger, Lu Xuan was no longer a virgin. He had tasted flesh for the first time, and was naturally interested in the matters between a man and a woman. When Zhang Dongshuang made her decision, she must have made a great decision.
Shaking his head, Lu Xuan did not let his imagination run wild. Perhaps Zhang Dongshuang had already thought that he had died in the Land of Inheritance. Otherwise, she would not have left so easily.
To Lu Xuan, the most important thing now was to hurry back to Wind Sword School. From here to Wind Sword School, it would still take a long time. If his estimation was not wrong, he should be able to make it in time for the Sect Competition.
Immediately, he did not stay any longer. He activated his Yuan Qi and increased his speed to the extreme, rushing towards the town. He had to at least buy a mount in the town. Otherwise, he would not be able to rush back to the Sect in time if he had to rely on himself.
After about half an hour, Lu Xuan finally returned to the town.
The scene of the town was the same as before. Even though it was still early in the morning, there were already people coming and going. Although Lu Xuan had directly destroyed an inn opened by the Liu Family, it did not cause too much of a commotion.
Those who were active here were all martial artists who lived on the edge of a knife. This kind of thing was not rare in the town. It could only be said that Lu Xuan had caused a bit of a ruckus. After all, a ninth rank of the Body Refinement Realm and a few eighth rank of the Body Refinement Realm died.
Just as Lu Xuan was searching for a place to sell mounts, an extremely shocked voice sounded behind Lu Xuan.
"Young, Young Hero Lu?"
