Although he had seen this monster in pictures and videos, Lin Huang still had goosebumps when he looked at it for the first time.
From its back, the Blacksword Killer looked no different from a human. It looked like a middle-aged male swordsman wearing a bamboo hat. However, when its head turned 180 degrees, the face under the bamboo hat was not a human face at all.
Its face still had human skin, but it looked very rough. It only had one green eye and a mouth that looked like it had been sewn by a needle and thread. Under the brim of the bamboo hat, the green eye was staring at Lin Huang, giving Lin Huang goosebumps.
After noticing Lin Huang, the monster stood up and kept its head facing Lin Huang. Its single eye was also staring at him, as if it was afraid that he would escape. As it stared at Lin Huang, its body quickly turned 180 degrees along with its neck. Its back was originally facing Lin Huang, but now it was facing him.
Only then did Lin Huang see the monster's full appearance. Apart from its face being different from a human's, it looked almost no different from a human male's. It was about two meters tall and wore a grayish-black cloak that covered its entire body.
At that moment, Lin Huang felt a strong killing intent lock onto him. At the same time, he felt an intense sense of danger.
Without thinking, he picked up his saber and made a blocking motion. The Blacksword Killer had disappeared from where it was and appeared in front of Lin Huang in an instant.
Under the fluttering cloak, a hand holding a saber stretched out without warning. A long and narrow black saber seemed to appear out of thin air and collided with Lin Huang's saber at lightning speed.
"Boom!"
As the two blades collided, a circle of air waves rippled like the surface of water with the point of collision as the center. Then, accompanied by a violent explosion, a figure flew backward.
Muffled rumbling sounds of impact rang out incessantly. The figure that was sent flying backwards was like a cannonball that had just been fired. It was unknown how many trees it had penetrated before it finally came to a stop. Finally, it deeply imprinted itself into the trunk of a large tree, leaving a human-shaped mark on the bark.
The figure slowly pulled himself out of the tree hole. "It really … hurts …"
As the voice rang out, a young man stood at the edge of the tree hole and jumped down. He then twisted his neck and moved his arms.
The person who was sent flying was naturally Lin Huang. From the attack alone, Lin Huang could tell that his opponent was close to gold flame-level.
"If I wasn't wearing a Grade-5 Defense Relic, I would've been severely injured." Just from the attack alone, Lin Huang knew that his opponent was a powerful opponent that he had never encountered before. It would be a tough battle.
Through the gaps between the trees, Lin Huang looked at where he had been standing earlier. The Blacksword Killer was standing on the branch that he had been standing on earlier. The green eye under its hat was looking at him.
Lin Huang smirked and pointed his sword at his opponent. It was obvious that he was provoking the Blacksword Killer.
"Come on, I'd like to see the results of my training for the past few months!"
Half a year ago, Lin Huang was forced to fight a complete gold-level triple mutated Supreme Overlord. He had to combine many of his summoning monsters to fight it and he was no match for the Supreme Overlord.
Now that half a year had passed, Lin Huang could fight a triple mutated white flame-level god's blood monster on his own. The improvement was unbelievable.
The Blacksword Killer was surprised that its attack did not kill Lin Huang as it could sense that Lin Huang's combat strength was not strong. Even if it encountered a monster of the same level, none of them would survive its attack. Not only did Lin Huang survive, but he did not seem to be injured at all. The Blacksword Butcher was slightly surprised by this.
However, Lin Huang's provocation turned the Blacksword Killer's curiosity into anger.
It had never seen any creature that dared to provoke it like that.
"Since you've chosen to provoke me, you should pay the price for doing so!" As the thought flashed through the Blacksword Killer's mind, it tiptoed on the branch. The branch that was as thick as an adult's thigh began to shake violently while the monster with the hat disappeared.
"That's fast!" Lin Huang's pupils shrunk. He activated his Seraphic Speed and Cloud Steps at the same time and moved from his original position.
As the Blacksword Killer appeared, Lin Huang swung his sword that was covered in golden Life Power from tens of meters away.
Under the cover of the Micro Territory, Lin Huang did not need to fight head-on with the monster. It was the strategy that Lin Huang came up with after watching the Blacksword Killer's battle earlier.
The Blacksword Killer's skills were straightforward. It was good at suppressing its enemies with strength and speed. It had always been successful.
In terms of strength and speed, Lin Huang knew that he was no match for the monster. Before he leveled up to complete gold-level, he could kill a blue flame-level. However, after leveling up to complete gold-level, he could only kill a purple flame-level. The Blacksword Killer's ability was on par with a gold flame-level. It would not be advantageous for Lin Huang to fight head-on and it would consume a large amount of Life Power.
In addition to that, to obtain Life Fire, Lin Huang could not summon his monsters to assist him in the battle. Therefore, the strategy that he came up with was to consume the monster's Life Power in various ways. When the monster's Life Power was almost depleted and it was trying to escape, he would burn his Life Power to deal a fatal attack.
Although it was not a righteous method, it was an effective strategy. It would be foolish to fight head-on when facing an enemy that was more powerful than oneself.
The Blacksword Killer landed on the ground where Lin Huang was earlier. However, it did not expect Lin Huang to run away after provoking it, causing the Blacksword Killer to miss its attack.
The greyish-black saber energy separated from the black saber's blade and continued to slash forward in a semi-circular arc.
The trees that it passed through were all broken, creating a treeless area that was more than ten meters wide and hundreds of meters long.
Before the dust settled, a golden glow lit up next to the Blacksword Killer and was aimed at its neck.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, the Blacksword Killer's black saber stabbed out from the void without a sound. The tip of the saber firmly collided with the golden saber ray, and the golden saber ray instantly disappeared.
The Blacksword Killer turned its head again. Its green eye looked at the direction where Lin Huang was hiding through the trees. It smirked as if it was mocking Lin Huang.
In the next moment, it lifted its sword and swung its black sword.
Right at that moment, Lin Huang sensed an intense sense of danger. He hurriedly retreated. Almost at the same time he moved, a greyish-black saber radiance lit up at the place where he was just hiding and slashed at his waist.
