A ruthless aura was released from the two-headed spirit beast's body, and the 4 eyes on its 2 heads were also faintly red. It was as though the blood that splashed out from the spirit beast's body had coagulated in its eyes, causing one to shudder with fear.
He Yiming had the same feeling at the moment.
Ever since he had achieved great success in martial arts, he had gained a lot of experience in fighting with Innate experts.
Even so, he had never felt as terrified as he did at this moment.
Yes, it was a feeling of panic. It was as if there was an irresistible power in the spirit beast.
Although he had just slashed the spirit beast until it was covered in blood, it did not mean that he was far stronger than it.
In actuality, apart from being able to turn freely in mid-air and having a body of steel, the spirit beast did not show any real abilities.
The unknown was the scariest thing …
He Yiming took a deep breath. His heart had completely calmed down. He could even hear the sound of his own heartbeat, which was as loud and powerful as a drum.
His body also exuded a powerful aura that seemed to be above everything, and his eyes revealed a sharp gaze that was tit for tat.
He grabbed the end of the glaive with his right hand and slowly raised it.
The glaive, which was nearly four meters long and weighed three hundred and sixty kilograms, was lifted up by the end of the glaive with one hand.
The shiny end of the glaive was pointed at the two-headed spirit beast's neck from afar, and an overwhelming killing intent emerged from the glaive.
The two-headed spirit beast's pupils seemed to have shrunk because it sensed an unbelievably powerful aura from the human. It was a spirit that was similar to a lofty mountain and would never admit defeat. As fierce as the spirit beast's aura was, it seemed like it could never suppress it.
It roared furiously, then it suddenly lowered its 2 heads and charged at Ou Yangming.
As compared to before, it seemed to be faster, and it arrived in front of He Yiming almost as soon as it charged out.
He Yiming curled his lips into a mocking smile, and his body became absent-minded at once.
The seemingly indestructible aura that was as firm as King Kong changed at once, and it became illusory as though it disappeared without a trace.
His body also left numerous afterimages in this space. This was the wind power, which could only be achieved by grasping the most essential power of the wind power.
At this moment, the pair of boots on He Yiming's feet had already been torn apart. There seemed to be some kind of power under his feet that was supporting him as he circled around the two-headed spirit beast at an incomparable speed. Ou Yangming's feet did not really touch the ground, and it was as though he could walk in the air.
In actuality, this was only an illusion, which was produced when He Yiming's body technique reached an extreme speed.
Beneath his feet and around his body, his True Qi was swirling. This True Qi had a certain magical effect in a small area. With the help of the power of the wind, his speed had reached a level that surpassed the limits of the human body.
In the face of such an unbelievably fast human, the two-headed Spiritual Beast seemed to be very vexed. The skin on both of its heads were tightly stretched together, and its two large mouths would occasionally open wide, biting everywhere with its sharp teeth, but to no avail. Its 4 eyes were filled with anxiety. It still looked as fierce as before, but it seemed to be helpless no matter how one looked at it.
He Yiming kept slashing with his glaive while he moved. Due to his fast body technique, he could not unleash the glaive's true power, thus he could not cause an obvious result like before. Even so, the saber slashed the two-headed spirit beast's body again and again, causing it to more or less feel immense pain. As a result, it let out an earth-shattering roar.
Slowly, a strange feeling welled up in He Yiming's heart. This two-headed spirit beast had given him a feeling of extreme danger twice in a row. But, it seemed to be nothing more than this once they started to fight. Could it be that his intuition was wrong?
Ou Yangming somehow felt uneasy. His glaive was merciless, but it retained the most powerful essential Qi saber-light.
He did not understand why he did this, but under some kind of mysterious sensing power, he naturally made this choice.
It seemed that he would rather spend a little more effort than use his most powerful skill in advance.
After an hour, He Yiming's glaive momentum became fiercer, and it had turned into a giant light ball that enveloped the two-headed spirit beast. Fine wounds appeared on the spirit beast's body again, and more blood slowly seeped out from those wounds. It seemed like it was going to die at any time.
All of a sudden, the two-headed spirit beast's body went limp, and it lost its balance before it fell to the ground.
He Yiming's eyes lit up. After two hours of intense battle, even a Xiantian expert like him felt an intense sense of weariness.
An Innate Powerhouse was formidable, but he was still a human. Innate essential Qi was potent, but a human's body could not be squandered endlessly, after all.
Ou Yangming had gone all-out to fight the unknown monster for an hour, which was definitely a huge burden for him.
At this moment, seeing that victory was in sight, He Yiming's heart suddenly relaxed. His large glaive transformed into a ball of lightning, furiously chopping down.
Nevertheless, the moment He Yiming relaxed, the spirit beast, which seemed to be exhausted and collapsed on the ground, suddenly lifted its head.
Although there was an unconcealable tiredness in its eyes, at this moment, they flickered with an extremely bright light.
The spirit beast opened its mouth wide, and a mighty power that made He Yiming's hair stand on end was nurtured inside.
He Yiming's heart was suddenly raised. Just as he relaxed a little, he suddenly encountered such an unforeseen event. It was as if he was on a roller coaster, where he suddenly slid down from the highest point. It was a suffocating thrill.
He finally understood why he was so afraid of the spirit beast. It turned out that the spirit beast's trump card was its breath.
In the two hours of battle, it would rather be covered in cuts and bruises by the glaive than use its breath. Instead, it only relied on its big mouth to bite, giving people the illusion that it didn't know how to use its breath.
It was not until this moment that the spirit beast sensed that He Yiming had relaxed, that it revealed its deadly fangs.
A gust of green wind and a strong flame had already arrived at He Yiming's side in an instant.
This was the Two-headed Spirit Beast's breath that it had prepared for a long time, and it was also its greatest power. The wind and fire seemed to have torn the space apart in an instant, shortening the distance between them and He Yiming to the limit.
He Yiming's eyes focused on one point, and his spirit reached the highest point in an instant.
At this critical moment, the scene in front of him seemed to have changed, and he seemed to have climbed up to a high place to look into the distance again.
He sensed the endless fine mountain rain, as well as the misty wind that blew past the peak and the clouds …
The glaive in his hand glowed all of a sudden. A dark green saber-light burst out from the glaive and slashed at the intense fire.
As the glaive swept across the fire, a peculiar aura seemed to have spread, causing the dense and forceful fire to explode right away.
The Two-headed Spirit Beast's Scorching Fire Breath was completely destroyed by the glaive.
Numerous sporadic sparks danced in the air. They contained potent fire powers, but they were insignificant to powerhouses like He Yiming and the Two-headed Spirit Beast.
Following that, He Yiming let go of the terrifying weapon, which left his hand for the first time in a fight.
Ou Yangming's body floated and seemed to have turned into the wind at this moment — a real wind.
The green wind breath blew onto He Yiming's body, blowing his body up like a fallen leaf, like a ripple in a lake.
He Yiming's body drifted in the green wind. He seemed to have blended into it and became a part of it.
At last, the green wind disappeared, but He Yiming was blown 100 meters away.
The Two-headed Spirit Beast stared blankly at He Yiming. After spitting out the two breaths, it quickly became dispirited as if it had not eaten, drunk, or slept for 10 days and 10 nights, and it looked like it would collapse at any moment.
Even so, it still stared at He Yiming. It seemed like it could not figure out how He Yiming, who was in a desperate situation, could escape. It was unbelievable.
Its body trembled all of a sudden, and a look of fear could be seen in its eyes. It turned around and ran toward the inner valley as if its life depended on it, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He Yiming's face was incredibly pale. He had held back during the fierce fight at the beginning. Even so, he did not expect the Two-headed Spirit Beast to be so patient.
He suddenly had the urge to curse. 'A spirit beast like this is simply more cunning than a human!'
If Ou Yangming had not experienced two epiphanies, which allowed him to sense and grasp wind, clouds, rain, and fog better than an ordinary person, he would have either been killed by the fire and turned into ashes, or he would have been sliced into pieces by the green wind.
At that moment, Ou Yangming only felt that his limbs were cold, and he felt like his strength had left his body.
This was his first time facing death at such a close distance. Earlier on, even he felt like he would not be able to escape from the disaster. Although he managed to get through the ordeal safely, the deep sense of fear made him lose all his courage in an instant.
Fortunately, the Two-headed Spirit Beast was even more shocked than he was. As such, its first action was not to pursue the young fellow, but to return to the inner valley. If it had pounced on He Yiming again without regard, He Yiming would not have been able to escape this time.
Seeing as the Two-headed Spirit Beast was running away, He Yiming's first thought was to escape as well, and he wanted to run as far away as possible.
He Yiming took a few steps forward. However, when his gaze swept across the area, it landed on the large glaive that was lying quietly on the ground. He Yiming's footsteps abruptly came to a halt. His somewhat unfocused eyes finally began to gradually focus.
When he looked at the glaive on the ground, his grandfather, He Wude, flashed across his muddled mind.
The old man shook the large glaive in his hand, causing it to shake and clank.
"Yiming, from now on, this glaive belongs to you."
"Yiming, forty years ago, I came to Taicang County alone with this glaive. It was with this heavy saber that the He Family Manor was able to establish such a large foundation over the past few decades. I decided long ago that this glaive will be passed down to the He family's most outstanding descendant, and I'll let this glaive witness the He family's glory. "
He looked up and smiled. "I can use this glaive to build the He family's foundation. Yiming, can you use it to continue expanding and protecting this foundation?"
The figure in his mind swayed a few times, then Yuan Lixun's frail figure appeared.
"Young Master, my mother has always taught me and my younger brother when she was alive. Everyone living in this world has their own responsibilities. Some of these responsibilities are big, and some are small. Those who are strong will take on the big ones, and those who are weak will take on the small ones. As long as you do what you can, then … it's enough. "
Unknowingly, He Yiming had come to the side of the large glaive that had fallen on the ground. He slowly bent down, and when his hand clenched the large glaive again, his unfocused eyes focused again.
His face was well-defined, and at this moment, it looked so hard.
His eyes were black and shiny, and his sharp gaze looked straight ahead, as if he wanted to pierce through something. He silently looked in the direction of the inner valley.
"Grandfather, I won't let this glaive down."
The promise of the past flashed across his mind like lightning. He carried the glaive and strode forward, crossing the rocky wall that was riddled with holes between the outer and inner valley, and entered the mysterious valley.
※ ※ ※
The scenery in the inner valley changed again. It was actually twice as big as the outside. Near the inside, there was a deep pool of hundreds of square meters.
He Yiming suddenly realized that after he entered the inner valley, the Clairaudient cultivation method suddenly lost its usual effect. Here, his hearing seemed to be restricted by some kind of power. It was simply worse than an ordinary person's by a few points.
His gaze fell on the pool, and he could not help but be slightly startled.
Over there, there was a marvelous sight that made him almost unable to believe his eyes.
Above the pool, there was a huge white stone. The size of this stone was about two or three people, and it was snow-white all over. He did not know what it was made of. But what shocked He Yiming was that this stone was floating quietly about half a meter above the pool.
It seemed to be weightless, suspended in the air, as if a gust of wind could easily blow it away.
A strand of strange light emanated from the stone. It was a white light that resembled milk. When the light was reflected by the ripples in the pool, it gave off a dream-like feeling.
The two-headed spirit beast was squatting next to the pool at this moment, and the light emitted by the white stone happened to envelop it.
He Yiming glanced at its body and immediately saw that its skin, which was cut by the glaive again, was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. It only took a brief moment for it to be almost healed.
On top of that, the two-headed spirit beast's spirit and energy seemed to have improved a lot. Although it did not give He Yiming the feeling that it had reached its peak, it was undeniable that it was Heaven and Earth apart from its previous dispirited state.
He Yiming instantly knew that the light from this giant white stone could not only heal the spirit beast's external injuries, but it could also quickly restore its energy.
If he had just entered the valley, he might have been afraid when he was faced with this situation. That said, his eyes were firm at this moment, and he stepped forward without any hesitation. His body was as natural as moving clouds and flowing water, and he even raised his glaive high.
The two-headed spirit beast's eyes turned cold, and it opened its mouths again to spit out fire and wind at the speed of light.
He Yiming's saber light splashed out in all directions. With a saber strike, he actually split the two balls of fire and wind apart. Even so, he could not stand still, so he took a few steps back.
The two-headed spirit beast opened its mouths again and spat out fire and wind as if they were free, forming a forceful wall of wind and fire in the air.
He Yiming tensed up because it was unimaginable that the two-headed spirit beast, which was shrouded by the white light, could be so formidable. Ou Yangming dared not go head-on against it anymore, and he tried his best to dodge the wind and fire. For a moment, he seemed to be in great danger. Even so, he was not flustered at all. Given his body technique that was as fast as the wind, he could naturally walk through the danger with ease. That said, he could not rush forward at all.
All of a sudden, the water in the pool swayed, and a figure emerged. It grabbed the stone in the air and hugged it tightly, then it fell into the pool.
This sudden turn of events greatly surprised both the man and the beast.
He Yiming's gaze was like lightning. He could already tell that this graceful figure was Yuan Lixun. The only thing was that he did not know how exactly she sneaked into the pool and appeared out of nowhere.
When the two-headed spirit beast saw the stone sinking into the water, it could not help but go berserk. It turned one of its heads to fire several green lights that left afterimages in the air and hit Yuan Lixun in a split second. Following that, a splash was heard as the white stone fell into the water.
He Yiming's body, which was constantly moving, suddenly froze. At this moment, his mind was completely blank.
As the dazzling white stone fell into the water, his heart sank.
He suddenly felt as if a hand had taken something from his body, something that was deeply engraved in his heart.
The True Qi in his body began to circulate subconsciously. The Ripple Technique of the water element, the Withered Tree Technique of the wood element, the Raging Inferno Technique of the fire element, the Vigorous Force Technique of the earth element, and finally the Mixed Yuan Force of the metal element.
After he advanced to the Xiantian Realm, these few types of Inner Strength that originally belonged to the Houtian Realm gradually changed. They seemed to have broken away from the Houtian Realm.
At this moment, the Xiantian Qi of the five elements suddenly burst out, and the large glaive that was raised high in the air splashed with golden light …
