Chapter 86: Confrontation with a Fifth-Rank Demon Beast
"I want Old Man Hai to accompany me to the Demon Beast Mountain Range," Su Yun said.
Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong furrowed his brow.
"What do you want to do in the Demon Beast Mountain Range?"
"Go kill a Fifth-Rank Demon Beast."
Hai Bodong was somewhat surprised.
"You young lad, you're so confident. Be careful not to get in over your head."
Su Yun chuckled.
"Well, with you around, what's there to worry about? When the time comes, I'll ask you to help me guard the battlefield. If any demon beasts come to cause trouble, I'll rely on you to hold them off."
Hai Bodong nodded.
Having just regained his strength, he was itching for some action, and this was a perfect opportunity to stretch his muscles.
Seeing this, Su Yun informed Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.
Then he flew to the Demon Beast Mountain Range with Hai Bodong.
Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin watched the two of them depart from the courtyard.
As they disappeared into the distance, Xiao Yi Xian sighed.
A hint of worry flickered in her eyes. Every time this happened, she couldn't help but feel powerless.
She could only wait and wait, until he returned.
But she couldn't be by his side to share his burdens.
Xiao Yi Xian suppressed her thoughts and held Qing Lin's hand.
"Little Qing Lin."
Xiao Yi Xian's voice was gentle, with a touch of etherealness.
"Sister Xian?"
Qing Lin looked up at Xiao Yi Xian.
"Come, let's go back to our room. Tell me, how did you and your brother meet?"
On the rooftop, Xiao Lan surveyed the surroundings dutifully.
After a while, Hai Bodong and Su Yun arrived at the heart of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Hai Bodong suppressed his aura, concealing his Dou Qi fluctuations, while Su Yun directly employed the Phantom Technique, hiding his aura completely within his body, revealing nothing.
A twitch appeared at the corner of Hai Bodong's mouth.
This lad, where did he come from exactly?
On the Continent of Dou Qi, offensive and defensive martial techniques were the most common. Flying techniques and auxiliary techniques were relatively rare.
The flying technique this lad displayed was vaguely three times faster than his, and its grade was definitely not low.
As for this concealed aura auxiliary technique, even with his current strength as a Martial Emperor, he couldn't sense any trace of it.
He must have a treasure trove of skills.
Hai Bodong felt a twinge of envy but didn't harbor any ill intentions.
Just based on the methods he displayed yesterday, if he really harbored malicious intentions, his fate would be quite grim.
The charisma of a Sixth-Rank Alchemist was astounding. Not to mention, if Xing Tian, that old monster, found out, he would undoubtedly try to recruit him.
Hai Bodong was clear about his stance on this matter.
The aura of a Fifth-Rank Demon Beast was easy to recognize. Su Yun had a powerful soul force, and his perception was extremely sensitive. In just fifteen minutes, he found the cave of the Fifth-Rank Gale Tiger.
"Old Man Hai, just help me conceal my presence at the entrance of the cave. I'll handle him alone."
Hai Bodong was somewhat puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
"Are you serious? If you really want to kill him, wouldn't it be better if we did it together?"
Su Yun shook his head at the words.
"No need. With my recent advancement in cultivation, it's a good opportunity to see where my current strength lies."
After pondering for a moment, Hai Bodong nodded in agreement.
With him present, if Su Yun really couldn't handle it, he could rescue him in time, without risking his life.
Seeing Hai Bodong's agreement, Su Yun didn't say much, turning to enter the cave.
With his personality, he wouldn't willingly put himself in danger.
The real reason for leaving Hai Bodong at the entrance of the cave, ahem.
Mainly, if anything unexpected happened, he could directly enter the system space and hide for a few months, which wouldn't be convenient if he dragged Hai Bodong along.
His most reliable life-saving method had always been the system space, not Hai Bodong.
After entering the cave, a cruel smile appeared on Su Yun's face.
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't underestimate a poor youth!
His aura erupted, no longer concealed, he utilized the Phantom Technique, stepping into the cave with exquisite footwork.
Hai Bodong, staying at the cave entrance, released his chilling Dou Qi, enveloping the entrance to minimize the fluctuations of Dou Qi inside.
Demon beasts have a strong territorial awareness; there were no other demon beasts around the cave of the Fifth-Rank Gale Tiger.
As long as he suppressed the Dou Qi fluctuations inside the cave, he didn't need to worry about being detected by other demon beasts in the short term.
Inside the cave, the Gale Tiger was awakened by Su Yun's aura, letting out a roar.
Human aura!
The Gale Tiger became more vigilant.
Although Fifth-Rank Demon Beasts couldn't speak, their intelligence was comparable to humans.
Su Yun's figure gradually appeared before the Gale Tiger.
Su Yun grinned, a fiery-red longsword appearing in his hand.
This sword was also obtained through the fusion function of the system, its name: Sunset.
His Dou Qi surged, infused into Sunset, a hint of blue sword light appearing on the blade.
Fiery Heaven Split!
This high-level Profound Technique was once again used by Su Yun.
A streak of blue sword light, carrying scorching heat, slashed towards the Gale Tiger.
With his current cultivation skyrocketing and the blessing of the Fire of the Abyss, the power of this move was undoubtedly much higher than before, when he faced Hai Bodong.
Sensing the terrifying temperature attached to the blue sword energy, a trace of fear flashed in the Gale Tiger's humanized eyes.
Gathering the Dou Qi throughout its body, it spat out a sharp wind blade.
The wind blade clashed with the blue sword energy, immediately incinerated by the terrifying temperature, without any obstruction, its speed unabated.
With his current Dou Qi quality equivalent to that of an ordinary Eight-Star Dou Spirit and the blessing of the Qinglian Heart Fire, any Profound Technique he casually used could reach the level of a Dou King.
Fiery Heaven Split was still a perfected high-level Profound Technique.
The mastery of a technique had a significant impact on its power.
A perfected high-level Profound Technique had several times the power of an introductory-level one.
Not to mention, Sunset, as a Fourth-Rank Demon Core Sword, also had a certain amplification effect.
The blue sword energy slashed at the Gale Tiger, emitting a series of howls.
The blue flames burned the Gale Tiger's body.
The terrifying temperature of the Fire of the Abyss was overwhelming, and the physical strength of a Fifth-Rank Demon Beast couldn't withstand it.
Next, Su Yun only needed to attack the Gale Tiger a few more times with the Qinglian Heart Fire to drag out the battle and eventually wear it down.
However, just achieving this level couldn't satisfy him.
Su Yun's figure flashed, employing the Phantom Technique, not giving the Gale Tiger a chance to catch its breath.
A fierce expression flashed on the Gale Tiger's savage face as its massive claws reached towards Su Yun, exerting tremendous force.
A cold smile crossed Su Yun's lips as his left elbow collided with the tiger's claws.
Eight Extremes Explosion!
Su Yun was pushed back three steps, while the Gale Tiger was directly sent flying.
The enhancement of his body by the four types of perfected high-level body-refining techniques was even stronger than he had imagined; he couldn't be only equivalent to an ordinary Fifth-Rank Demon Beast.
While it might not rival a Sixth-Rank Demon Beast, after undergoing the tempering of the Fire of the Abyss, he had further advanced, at least reaching the peak strength of a Fifth-Rank Demon Beast.
In addition, with the terrifying power of Eight Extremes Collapse, just the explosive force alone could kill the Gale Tiger!
His left hand suddenly clenched, as he shouted lowly.
"Explode!"
The eight layers of hidden energy within the Gale Tiger's body were all detonated.
After a muffled sound, the Gale Tiger fell to the ground, unable to get up.
Su Yun: ???
Is, is it dead?
Isn't this too hasty?
