Boom!
Under that sword light, the scales on the Iron Scale Beast's chest had been torn apart. Dark red blood splashed everywhere, and its whole body was blown backwards. While flying backwards, the beast's cold eyes were filled with confusion and confusion. It could not understand why Ye Chen, who was not its opponent before, had suddenly become so powerful. The power of that sword attack had reminded it of the Wind Wolf, which had the bloodline of ancient beasts. Once, when they were fighting for territory, Ye Chen had broken through its defense with only one claw attack and forced it to run for its life.
No matter what, the Iron Scale Beast was still a top rank 6 beast. It twisted its body and stopped its retreat immediately. The fist-sized scales on its body started to shake together, looking like countless sharp blades. Its already huge body looked even more powerful than before.
The Iron Scale Beast roared three times, and its neck suddenly thickened. It opened its mouth and shot out an extremely condensed red beast Qi towards Ye Chen. The beast Qi was like a spear, with the tip of the spear in a spiral shape.
"Separate!"
Leaving a zhen Qi shadow where he was standing, Ye Chen's real body drew a perfect arc in the air, attacking the Iron Scale Beast from the side. That kind of speed and smoothness was way beyond what it had been before. Even the Iron Scale Beast thought that the zhen Qi shadow was its real body.
The second the zhen Qi shadow was shattered, Ye Chen's attack had also arrived. His Star Scar Sword carried a sharp light as it pierced through the beast's neck.
Blood puked out. The Iron Scale Beast felt like its throat was blocked by someone. It wanted to scream, but it could not. Its body was like a sieve, shaking non-stop.
"Cut!"
With the increase of his cultivation, the power of his One Sword Kill had increased drastically. The sword sliced through the wound of the Iron Scale Beast, leaving behind a three-foot-long wound.
That sword attack should have been enough to blow away the Iron Scale Beast, but it was unexpectedly able to withstand the impact and raise up its three to four meters long right claw, attacking towards Ye Chen. That sharp claw light tore through the air, and the sharp screeching sound could almost shatter people's eardrums.
Ye Chen turned his left palm into a fist and performed the fourth movement of the Tyrant Fist Art, attacking towards the right claw of the Iron Scale Beast.
With a thunderous sound, the human and the beast backed out at the same time. The difference was that the Iron Scale Beast's body was rolling backwards, while Ye Chen's feet were rubbing against the air, leaving a light white qi wave in the air.
Looking at the claw mark on his fist, Ye Chen was shocked. Demonic beasts were best at close combat, and only a small portion of them were good at long range attacks. The Iron Scale Beast's claw was as hard as a low-rank great weapon, and it contained an extremely hot beast qi. Under one claw attack, even a peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior would be killed. If it weren't for the fact that the fourth movement of the Tyrant Fist Art was as powerful as a mid-rank Earth Realm martial skill, and that he had trained the King Kong Jade Body and added the sword intent to his fist, that claw attack would have shattered his left arm completely.
"I mainly train sword arts, so I don't need a lot of fist arts. But the Tyrant Fist Art is obviously not able to keep up with me. I have to find another high rank fist art to replace it. Or when I have enough knowledge, I can combine the four movements of the Tyrant Fist Art into one. That way, it would have the power of a high-rank Earth Realm martial skill."
Thinking about that, Ye Chen's body kept flashing. Four zhen Qi shadows appeared one after another, and his real body appeared on the right side of the Iron Scale Beast within a second, stabbing into its eye.
The killing intent of the Lone Peak Kill was way too sharp. The Iron Scale Beast was confused by the zhen qi shadow for a second, then under the effect of the killing intent, it could not move at all. By the time it was able to control its body perfectly, the sword tip had already pierced into its eye socket.
Swoosh!
Pulling out his Star Scar Sword, Ye Chen backed out quickly. He knew that the Iron Scale Beast, which had lost one eye, would definitely go crazy for a while, so it was not a good idea to get too close to it. He decided to wait for it to use up some of its energy before finishing it off.
Just as expected, the pain of having its left eye pierced enraged the Iron Scale Beast. Its remaining eye instantly turned red, glowing with a blood-red light. Immediately after, the red demonic aura on its body was like boiling water, violently fluctuating and soaring into the sky.
Shoo!
A red light flashed in the air, and the Iron Scale Beast appeared in front of Ye Chen within a second, landing a claw on his head.
His head had been shattered, but it was not Ye Chen's real body.
Ye Chen's real body was behind the Iron Scale Beast, and he stabbed into its back leg.
The Iron Scale Beast was about to go crazy. The Wind Wolf could beat it because it was powerful enough, while Ye Chen's power was obviously not that much more powerful than it, but he was still able to suppress it completely.
The scales on its body suddenly stood up. The Iron Scale Beast shook its body, and countless sharp scales shot out in all directions, making a continuous swooshing sound.
After stabbing the beast's hind limb, Ye Chen had already stepped back a hundred meters away. Although the scales were still flying at him, they were still too far away. Therefore, they were blocked by Ye Chen's sword light and his protective zhen qi layer. The scales fell down in all directions, unable to hurt him at all.
The Iron Scale Beast had not reached the point where it could grow scales all at once. With so many scales shooting out at once, many parts of its body were bare, and its defense had dropped drastically. Following the muscles and bones, Ye Chen found the second fatal weakness of the Iron Scale Beast, which was a light-colored line on its back.
"Tornado Broken Clouds!"
With this discovery, Ye Chen came up with a battle plan. He waved his Star Scar Sword in the air, and the sword qi rose up, bringing up a tornado that was powerful enough to cut through steel. It wrapped around Ye Chen and attacked towards the Iron Scale Beast.
After shooting out the scales, the Iron Scale Beast's body froze, and it was sucked into the tornado.
"Kill!"
In the upper half of the tornado, Ye Chen held the sword with both of his hands and stabbed into the light-colored line. It went three feet deep, and then he pulled it back, cutting open the back of the Iron Scale Beast along the light-colored line.
The Iron Scale Beast screamed into the sky. It tried its best to struggle, trying to get rid of Ye Chen. However, the Star Scar Sword had been stabbed deep into its body, so how could it get rid of Ye Chen easily? Its life force and stamina started to leak out like a broken balloon.
After a few blinks of an eye, the Iron Scale Beast's body softened and fell from the sky.
"Finally dead!"
Ye Chen could sense that the Iron Scale Beast's life force had been completely drained. Its body was not as tough as before, but a bit soft. It was the sign of losing a huge amount of its beast qi and life force. Without the support of its life force and the powerful beast qi, the Iron Scale Beast's defense was not even as powerful as a rank 4 beast.
Boom!
The dead body of the Iron Scale Beast smashed a hole on the ground. Ye Chen jumped aside.
Waving his Star Scar Sword, Ye Chen soon took out the beast's inner pellet. After thinking for a while, he also pried out the beast's claws. It was a pure sharp weapon, and with the beast qi it contained, it would not be any weaker than a low rank great weapon. In this true spirit continent, there were some great weapons that were made from the bones of beasts. Under special circumstances, they could trigger some unexpected effects.
Awooo! Awooo!
After collecting all the materials, Ye Chen's ears twitched. From a thousand miles away, there was a sky-shaking roar. Vaguely, he could even feel that the air flow in the surreal space had increased a lot.
"It is a rank 7 beast … No, it is a rank 8 beast!"
Ye Chen's expression changed drastically. A rank 7 beast would be able to kill him within a second, and a rank 8 beast would only need to roar once, and it would probably be able to shatter his soul completely.
This small beast wave was indeed not that simple. Not only were there a lot more rank 7 beasts, even rank 8 beasts had started to appear. It looked like it was going to become a mid-sized beast wave.
Extending his body, Ye Chen flew towards the Gold Tripod City.
…
On the wall of the Gold Tripod City …
There were a lot of Astral Reaching Realm warriors standing on top of it.
The Black Crow Man frowned, "That roar just now even made me feel a little bit scared. I am afraid it is not a rank 7 beast, but a rank 8 beast."
The Fire Spirit said, "As long as the rank 9 beasts do not show up, the Gold Tripod City will be as stable as a mountain. As for the rank 8 beasts appearing in this small beast wave, it is indeed confusing. Perhaps this hundred years is the peak of the beast wave."
From the ancient times until now, there had been countless beast waves. From the records, there was a pattern. The beast waves of the same rank would increase or decrease by a certain amount. Once it reached a certain level, it would suddenly increase again, reaching a certain peak.
"It should be."
Besides a few Astral Reaching Realm warriors on the wall, most of them were Clasping Yuan Realm warriors.
"Look! The young generation has finally arrived."
"The beast tide this time isn't that dangerous. The surrounding large sects will definitely send the best of the younger generation to participate in the battle. Only through endless battles can one make breakthroughs faster and improve further."
"That is the head disciple Meng Chao and the second disciple Tian Hao from the rank 7 martial institution, the Alchemist Martial School. Meng Chao was ranked forty in the last Hidden Dragon Rank. His power is even more powerful than a lot of older Clasping Yuan Realm warriors."
"The head disciple of the Green Eagle Palace is here as well."
"And the Fourth Night and the Sixth Night of the Moon Pavilion's Seven Nights are here as well. These two do not belong to any martial institutions. They are purely young warriors trained by the Moon Pavilion. However, they did not make it to the last Hidden Dragon Rank. I heard that their power is not below the top forty, and they might be able to make it to the top thirty."
As time went on, the young warriors started to show up one after another, including Tian Hao, who had just parted ways with Ye Chen. His power was considered average among this group of people. A few of them had even shocked the Clasping Yuan Realm warriors on the wall.
The most outstanding ones would be the Fourth Night and the Sixth Night of the Moon Pavilion. These two were both Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. They had a cold expression on their faces, and the qi coming from their bodies was extremely sharp.
"What a disappointment. I thought I would be able to find some interesting young warriors in the Gold Tripod City." The Sixth Night was a teenager. His eyes were slightly squinted like a poisonous snake.
Guo Lanyue chuckled, "The news of the beast wave had just spread out not long ago. I am afraid those who are far away would not be able to come." As she spoke, she thought of Ye Chen. This guy was not even eighteen years old, and he was extremely talented in battling. Unfortunately, his cultivation was still a bit low, and he did not have enough experience. If he could join the Moon Pavilion, he would only be a backup member of the Seven Nights. Once he was powerful enough, he would be able to compete for the official members.
The Seven Nights was a group of seven young warriors. Every one of them was a top warrior among the young generation. Right now, three of them were from other martial institutions, and the other four were trained by the Moon Pavilion itself. The Fourth Night and the Sixth Night were indeed the young warriors trained by the Moon Pavilion. They were quite valued by the leader of the pavilion. This time, when the beast wave broke out, they had been sent over immediately.
The tall and cold looking Fourth Night said lightly, "Our battle will be in the next Hidden Dragon Rank. This is just an appetizer. No need to care too much."
