In the dark night, apart from the occasional beast roars coming from the surrounding mountain forest, the atmosphere was particularly gloomy. A leopard, the size of an adult bull, constantly glanced around with its green eyes while its thick legs moved as if it was looking for prey to fill its belly.
"You guys wait here, I'll kill it!"
Behind a tree tens of meters away, Tan Xiu's eyes flashed with a cold light as he spoke in a low voice.
Su Ben reached out to stop Tan Xiu and eagerly said, "Tan Xiu, the three of us are several times stronger than before, be it in terms of strength or speed. I believe that even if this leopard is powerful, it's impossible for it to beat the three of us at the same time. How about we give it a try? "
"This is not an ordinary leopard, but a fierce beast with spiritual wisdom." Tan Xiu hesitated. "Ordinary wild beasts are not much of a threat to cultivators, but fierce beasts are also very dangerous. According to my observation, this is not an ordinary fierce beast, at least not a low-level one. You don't have much combat experience, so even if the three of you join hands, I'm afraid you're not its match. You might even lose your life in its hands. "
"Don't we still have you?" Asked Su Ben in a low voice. "Do you have the confidence to save us if we really encounter danger?"
Tan Xiu hesitated for a moment before he nodded and said, "I have the confidence."
"Since you have the confidence, then we have nothing to be afraid of," said Su Ben seriously. "Since we want to walk the same path as you in the future, we need actual combat experience. You've told us a lot about the cruelty and danger of the cultivation world in the past two days. You don't want to cultivate three wastes in the future, do you? "
Tan Xiu looked at Su Quan and Su Xiangfei. The two nodded without hesitation, and their faces were especially solemn. Sighing inwardly, he nodded and said, "Since you've made up your mind, then do it! Remember, you can't have the slightest carelessness at this critical moment. "
"Understood!"
The three of them clenched their weapons and nodded at the same time.
Tan Xiu calmly watched the three of them stealthily sneak toward the leopard fierce beast. After a few seconds of silence, he instantly disappeared. His body was like a fallen leaf floating in the air. In just a few breaths, he had already appeared on the tree branch above the leopard fierce beast.
"Roar …"
When Su Ben and the other two were more than ten meters away from it, the leopard was keenly aware that someone was approaching. Moreover, three people were running towards it from three different directions. Suddenly, its big eyes burst with dense killing intent, its body tensed up, and it pounced at Su Ben in an instant.
"Bastard!"
Su Ben held the harpoon in his hand and whipped it at the leopard in the whistling wind. However, the leopard's speed was too fast. In the blink of an eye, it had dodged the harpoon and jumped high to grab Su Ben's head.
According to the actual combat experience of Su Ben, Su Quan, and Su Xiangfei, Su Ben's combat strength was the strongest among them. He was originally a man who could fight. After joining the Magnificent Tang Corp, he had received very strict training. Whether it was using a stick to fight or close combat, he had learned it for several months. Therefore, he didn't panic in the face of the crisis at this time. The moment the harpoon struck back, his body pounced to the side and narrowly avoided the leopard's sharp claws.
"What a fast speed!"
When Su Ben stood up again, the leopard fierce beast had already pounced in front of him. Even though he thought that he had become very strong, he was still frightened by the leopard fierce beast's fierceness. Unable to launch an attack, he rolled on the ground again and then pounced toward Su Quan's direction by relying on the inertia.
"Watch out!"
Su Quan was a bit scared. Seeing that the leopard fierce beast had caught up with Su Ben again, his heart instantly jumped to his throat. He waved the shovel and shouted loudly.
"Rip …"
Su Ben's heart pounded wildly. He dodged to the side, but his left arm was still torn by the leopard fierce beast's sharp claws, leaving a bloody gash. It was also Su Quan who arrived in time and fiercely waved the shovel, forcing the leopard fierce beast to retreat.
"Big Brother Ben, are you alright?"
Su Quan stood in front of Su Ben and anxiously called out.
Su Ben jumped up from the ground and quickly stood side by side with Su Quan to face the leopard fierce beast. Then, he calmly said, "I'm fine. I'm just a bit injured. You two be careful. This guy's speed is too fast. I can barely avoid it once or twice, but I can't do it anymore. You two are not as fast as me, so you must be more cautious. "
"Understood!"
"Got it!"
Su Quan and Su Xiangfei had just arrived and said at the same time.
ROAR …
The leopard fierce beast's eyes seemed to reveal a mocking look. With a roar, it pounced again, completely unafraid of the three men and their weapons. This time, its speed was even faster. It was like a sharp arrow that was shot out of the sky.
BAM, BAM, BAM …
The harpoons, shovels, and javelins in the hands of Su Ben, Su Quan, and Su Xiangfei hit the leopard fierce beast's body at the same time, but they didn't cause any damage to it. Instead, its sharp claws swept through Su Xiangfei's and Su Quan's arms, leaving a few deep wounds on them.
BAM …
What caught the trio off guard was that after the leopard ferocious beast tore apart Su Xiangfei and Su Quan's arms, it actually turned around in mid-air. Its two sharp claws fiercely slapped at Su Ben's back, causing blood to gush out from several bloody wounds. Su Ben's body was directly slapped away and heavily smashed into the ground seven to eight meters away.
"Big Brother Ben, Su Ben!"
Su Quan's and Su Xiangfei's countenance drastically changed. They desperately brandished the shovels and javelins in their hands, forcing the leopard fierce beast to retreat to the side, and then dashed toward Su Ben.
Tan Xiu stood quietly on a tree branch more than ten meters high, watching the fight below. His eyes flickered with a bright light. Just now, he had judged that the leopard fierce beast would indeed bring harm to the trio, but it would be very difficult for it to kill them. That was why he resisted the urge to attack.
However …
He could also judge that it was absolutely impossible for the trio to kill the leopard fierce beast. The leopard fierce beast's body was too tough. Even if a harpoon or a javelin were to stab its body, it was not certain that it would be able to pierce through. After pondering for a moment, he watched the leopard fierce beast pounce toward the trio again. His figure instantly flashed.
Swoosh …
An afterimage swooped down from the sky, and the Bloodguzzler Dagger shot out a red light, sweeping across the leopard fierce beast's back.
ROAR! ROAR!
The sharp pain made the leopard fierce beast go crazy. It could no longer continue to attack the trio. As it frantically turned around, its awe-inspiring eyes fell on Tan Xiu. It could feel that the human in front of it was a great threat, so it planned to get rid of this human first, and then kill the other three.
In a flash, the leopard fierce beast had already pounced in front of Tan Xiu, its sharp claws grabbing toward Tan Xiu's head.
"Die!"
A cold light flashed in Tan Xiu's eyes. The Bloodguzzler Dagger instantly streaked across, easily cutting off the leopard fierce beast's front claws. At the same time, Tan Xiu ruthlessly kicked its abdomen. As its huge body was sent flying, Tan Xiu, like a shadow, pierced the leopard fierce beast's lower neck with the Bloodguzzler Dagger and tore open a long gash.
Blood gushed out.
The leopard fierce beast was terrified. It had never encountered such a fast human, let alone suffered such a serious injury. Almost the moment it landed, it endured the pain of losing its two front claws and fled toward the side of the mountain forest.
"KILL ME …"
The Bloodguzzler Dagger in Tan Xiu's hand turned into a stream of light and pierced the leopard fierce beast's abdomen. The penetrating attack made the leopard fierce beast tremble and heavily fall under a big tree seven or eight meters away. Its abdomen was pierced and its neck was torn. Two fatal injuries made the leopard fierce beast full of despair. It struggled to get up from the ground, but the blood gushing out like a fountain made it weaker and weaker. In particular, its front two legs were chopped off. It struggled to get up halfway and then fell heavily again.
BAM, BAM, BAM …
Tan Xiu sprinted to the leopard fierce beast's side and punched it like a gust of wind. Looking at the leopard fierce beast that was already dying, a smile appeared on his face.
"Are you okay, Big Brother Ben?"
Tan Xiu turned around and looked at the three people who had come over with a smile.
Su Ben wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head with a smile. "I'm fine. I just feel a burning sensation on my back. You're the best, Tan Xiu! The three of us are not this guy's match, yet you killed it in a few moves. "
"You can also do it easily if you practice hard in the future," said Tan Xiu with a light smile. "Alright, since we've killed this guy, let's carry its corpse out! Let the villagers see it so that everyone can be completely relieved. "
Su Ben nodded and was about to carry the leopard fierce beast.
Tan Xiu stopped him and took out the silver needles he carried with him to stop the bleeding and bandage the wounds of the three people. After the treatment was almost done, he said with a smile, "You may be injured, but this is a good training opportunity that can't be wasted. In order to exercise your physical strength, the three of you will carry the leopard's corpse. Also, this place is still far from the Su Family Village, but I want you to get out of the mountain within two hours. Can you do it? "
The three people looked at each other in dismay with wry smiles in their eyes.
Two hours?
Although they searched everywhere when they came in and their speed was very slow, it still took them four or five hours to get here. Moreover, that was in the daytime. Walking on the mountain road at night was even more difficult. Wanting to get out in two hours was probably impossible, right?
Tan Xiu looked at the three people's expressions and added, "If you can't carry this leopard's corpse out of the mountain forest within two hours, I'll use more cruel means to train you in the future. I'll let you taste the feeling of living a life worse than death, and then enjoy the pleasure that power brings you."
The feeling of living a life worse than death?
Soaking in the Spiritual Spring was the feeling of living a life worse than death. Even if the Spiritual Spring could bring them great benefits, they didn't want to experience it a second time. Therefore, the three people looked at each other and then quickly lifted the leopard fierce beast and quickly ran out of the mountain.
