Five days later, Jianchen arrived above a forest. He slowly flew at a low altitude as he stood on a white cloud condensed from Radiant Saint Force. He expanded the senses of his soul to a radius of twenty kilometers as he searched for Class 6 Magical Beasts and the other participants.
Jianchen flew at a low altitude above the trees. He glanced at the White Tiger on his shoulder and murmured, "The energy within Little White's body has begun to pulse unstably. Looks like it's at the critical moment of breaking through to Class 6. Since that's the case, I'll put aside the matter of collecting battle achievements in the artifact space for now. It won't be too late to continue collecting battle achievements after I assist the White Tiger in breaking through. There's still ten days until the competition anyway, so there's plenty of time.
"Once the White Tiger becomes a Class 6 Magical Beast, it'll be equivalent to a human Heaven Saint Master. And with its identity as a winged tiger, its battle prowess will definitely be much greater than other magical beasts. Even beasts of antiquity will be nowhere close to it. At that time, the White Tiger will possess some ability to protect itself on the Tian Yuan Continent. Unless it encounters a Saint Ruler, no one will be able to harm it."
"Roar!"
Just as Jianchen was deep in thought, a great roar suddenly rang out from up ahead. The sound wave rolled out, reverberating through the surroundings.
"A Class 6 Magical Beast!" Jian Chen's eyes lit up as he stared ahead in interest. He murmured, "This should be a Class 6 Magical Beast that has reached the peak. The vital energies in its blood are extremely dense, and its voice is filled with anger and pain. It looks like someone is fighting with it." Without any hesitation, Jian Chen immediately sped up and flew in the direction of the sound.
Over a dozen Radiant Saint Masters were scattered in groups of three in a dense forest thirty kilometers in front of Jianchen. Milky-white light constantly flickered, turning into Radiant Swords that shot toward the six-meter-long black panther.
The black panther had already reached the peak of Class 6. Its battle prowess was extremely great, but even with that being the case, it still struggled to fend off the attacks of over a dozen Class 6 Radiant Saint Masters. It was currently injured in many places and covered in blood. Its black fur had already been dyed red.
"Roar!" The black panther constantly growled. Its vicious eyes were scarlet red. Not only did its wounds fail to decrease its battle prowess, but they also made it even more brutal. It became more and more valiant as it fought. As it constantly swung its front paws, powerful strands of energy shot toward the Radiant Saint Masters in the surroundings one after another. The panther would spit out violent balls of energy from time to time.
The Radiant Saint Masters in the surroundings dealt with the attacks of the panther in an orderly fashion. They formed groups of three, with two of them blocking the attacks of the panther while the other constantly condensed Radiant Swords to attack the panther. Clearly, their teamwork had been honed for many years.
More and more wounds appeared on the panther. Even though its defences were very great, it was unable to last for very long against the constant attacks of the Radiant Swords.
"Roar!" Suddenly, the panther roared at the sky. Bearing the price of three Radiant Swords, it arrived before one of the groups with a single leap. It opened its huge mouth and bit at one of them without any hesitation at all.
The Radiant Saint Master was unable to react in time. His entire upper body was bitten by the panther. In that moment of danger, a huge pillar of light descended from the sky, taking the Radiant Saint Master with it and disappearing from the artifact space.
Clearly, this was not the first time the panther had seen this happen. It ignored the huge pillar of light and did not pause at all. It immediately charged toward a second Radiant Saint Master and viciously swiped its sharp claws at the Radiant Saint Master's chest.
"Crack!" The Radiant Saint Master's Radiant Armor was as fragile as tofu. It was directly shattered by the panther's attack, turning the Radiant Saint Master's chest into a bloody mess.
"Argh!" The Radiant Saint Master cried out miserably as he was directly blown away. He vomited blood in the air as his face paled.
The panther ignored the Radiant Saint Master. It opened its huge mouth and bit at the third Radiant Saint Master.
"Radiant Sword!" The Radiant Saint Master did not become flustered at all. The Radiant Sword that he had just condensed immediately turned into a white streak of light, shooting into the panther's mouth with lightning speed.
Boom! The Radiant Sword exploded loudly after entering the panther's mouth. A powerful pulse of energy leaked out from the panther's mouth, causing it to wail out in pain. Blood constantly flowed from its mouth. At the same time, the panther's huge mouth bit down on the Radiant Saint Master, swallowing his entire upper body.
At the brink of death, another huge pillar of light descended from the sky, taking the second Radiant Saint Master with it and disappearing from the artifact space.
"Quick, attack its wounds with all your strength!" A Radiant Saint Master in another direction immediately called out. Soon afterwards, over a dozen Radiant Saint Masters realized that this was a great opportunity to heavily injure the panther. All of them immediately began to condense Radiant Saint Force and shoot it at the clearly deeper wounds on the panther at the same time. They planned on using those wounds to deal fatal damage to the panther.
Swish! Swish!
Swish! Over a dozen Radiant Swords shot out from the hands of the Radiant Saint Masters at basically the same time. They struck the wounds on the panther with great precision, immediately widening them. Blood spurted out like a fountain.
The black panther produced a chilling cry. He glanced at the Radiant Saint Masters with eyes filled with endless hatred before leaping into the distance, fleeing into the distance.
At this moment, a huge Radiant Sword that was three meters long shot down from the sky. It turned into a streak of light and chased after the fleeing black panther with astonishing force. In the end, it struck the black panther's wound viciously, worsening its injuries.
The strike was extremely powerful. It was several times more powerful than the Radiant Swords shot out by the Radiant Saint Masters. The huge panther was actually knocked into the air by the strike, landing heavily three meters away. A bone-deep wound appeared where it had been injured on its back. Even its organs were exposed.
"Roar!" The panther produced a painful cry. The damage from the strike was just too great.
"This Class 6 Magical Beast can't hold on much longer. Let's go. We can't let anyone take it away." The Radiant Saint Masters who had attacked the panther earlier yelled out. They all rushed toward the panther as surging Radiant Saint Masters rapidly condensed in their hands, quickly forming Radiant Swords. They then shot them at the panther with a wave of their hands. They wanted to kill the panther as soon as possible and take its monster core.
The Radiant Swords struck the panther, causing it to become even more heavily injured. The panther had already lost its ability to flee. All it could do was lie on the ground and produce painful growls. The vitality of Class 6 Magical Beasts was just too tenacious. The panther actually managed to survive the combined attacks of over a dozen Class 6 Radiant Saint Masters.
A figure rapidly approached from the distant sky. A white-robed Radiant Saint Master hurried over on a white cloud. Three Radiant Swords had already been condensed in his hands. He quickly flew over in a straight line, striking the deep wound on the panther's neck with great precision.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Following three violent explosions, the head of the black panther, which was one meter in diameter, separated from its body. It was directly sent flying into the air by the powerful energy shockwaves. Its head was separated from its body, and blood splattered all over the sky.
The Class 6 Magical Beast that had fought against over a dozen Class 6 Radiant Saint Masters for almost an hour had died to Jianchen's hands just like that.
"Go collect the monster core!" A Radiant Saint Master immediately called out. Immediately, a few people ran over to the panther's corpse in an attempt to retrieve the monster core as soon as possible.
At this moment, a few more Radiant Swords shot over from the sky. This time, their targets were actually the Radiant Saint Masters who ran over to the panther's corpse.
The expressions of all the Radiant Saint Masters changed. They all snorted coldly and condensed a Radiant Sword. A portion of them shot toward the Radiant Swords that had attacked their companions, blocking Jianchen's attacks. The other portion shot toward Jianchen who was flying over from afar.
A Radiant Shield that was two meters in diameter appeared in Jianchen's hand. He directly tossed it out and blocked all the Radiant Swords. Jianchen did not slow down at all. He flew over the Radiant Saint Masters and landed firmly before the panther's corpse. He immediately condensed a Radiant Sword and stabbed it into the panther's body, removing the monster core hidden within. His movements were smooth and extremely practiced.
The Radiant Saint Masters' faces became extremely ugly when they saw that the monster core had been taken away. They all glared at Jianchen with hostility.
"Sir, it took us a lot of effort to heavily injure and kill this Class 6 Magical Beast, so the monster core should belong to us. Now that it's been taken away by you, sir, your actions seem to be rather inappropriate," an elder said with a cold expression. An old man said coldly with a sunken face. He could already tell that Jian Chen's strength was extraordinary from the short clash earlier. Otherwise, why would he waste so much time talking to Jian Chen? He would have directly charged at Jian Chen with his advantage in numbers.
"Sir, return the monster core to us, and we'll forget about what happened before. We'll go our separate ways in the future and mind our own business," another Radiant Saint Master said sternly. Another Radiant Saint Master growled. His gaze towards Jian Chen was filled with some fear. Over a dozen of them had actually failed to stop Jian Chen at all, allowing him to arrive before Hei Bao's corpse with great composure. They dared not offend Jian Chen so easily.
Jianchen grabbed a handful of grass from the ground and wiped away the blood on the monster core. Afterward, he looked at the Radiant Saint Masters and said indifferently, "Not only do I want the monster core, but I want your battle achievements as well!"
The faces of the Radiant Saint Masters all changed when they heard that. Fury rose up in their hearts. In their eyes, Jianchen was simply arrogant and condescending. He had gone a little too far. Not only had he taken their spoils, but he also wanted their battle achievements. This was a blatant provocation to them.
Even though they knew that Jianchen's strength was extraordinary, they did not believe that Jianchen could fend off all of them by himself. They feared Jianchen because they did not want to provoke an expert like him so easily. It did not mean that they feared him.
