“Puff.”
A ray sword light suddenly cut through the sky and chopped a black water python that was hovering over a tree into half. Its gall bladder was removed and off it went into the sack.
Lin Han returned his sword into its scabbard and patted the big bag on his back. A joyous expression flashed across his eyes.
Throughout all ten hours of the day, Lin Han did not let up in the slightest. He had murdered numerous beasts in Broken Sky Forest and captured a lot of materials.
“Aquamarine snake, fangs, snake gall bladder… Five taels of gold…”
“Earth demonic bear, bear paws, fur, beast core… That’s around twenty taels of gold…”
“Wind thunder leopard, leopard skin, beast core … Thirty taels of gold …”
…
Lin Han looked at the demonic beasts he had hunted and the materials accumulated. He counted them one by one and it came down to an amount of about four hundred taels of gold. He was only one hundred taels short.
Besides, Lin Han had sharpened and improved his martial arts techniques greatly during the hunting process.
He was now able to perform all thirteen steps of Thirteen Moving Dragon Steps and progressed it to the Pinnacle state.
His Quick Draw Sword had also progressed into the Pinnacle state. Once the sword came out of its scabbard, a deafening rumble of the thunder followed and its destruction was massive.
As for Thirteen Gleaming Swords, even though it was a set of high-grade sword martial arts, Lin Han had perfected it so that he could perform twelve sword moves consecutively in a row. He only needed to bring it up into the Pinnacle state to perform the thirteenth sword move.
This was extremely mortifying.
The people from Lin Clan Sect Residence would have their jaws dropped if they knew about this.
Moreover, it had only been half a day since Lin Han acquired the cultivation method of the Thirteen Gleaming Swords.
Even Lin Han exclaimed in admiration silently. In less than one day, he had perfected the set of sword skill that required others many years to achieve the Major Advancement state. It was pure evil.
Once again, Lin Han was aghast at the Golden Spirit Fire he possessed in his mind. It had assisted him to elevate all of his martial qualities to a range that was way beyond the understanding of any ordinary martial arts Warrior.
Then, just when Lin Han was ready to continue hunting for more demonic beasts to gather the remaining one hundred taels of gold, a morbid roar of a beast suddenly rang in the air from deep within the forest.
“Roar!”
The roar of that beast sounded something like a mixture of a tiger and a dragon. The sound waves transmitted a powerful shockwave. Even though it came from a distance, it made the blood in Lin Han’s body simmer.
“What a mighty spirit!”
Lin Han was startled.
Perhaps, a king-level beast had emerged from a place deep within Broken Sky Forest?
“Is that…”
Almost simultaneously, an ancient beast the size of a small hill entered Lin Han’s sight. He saw it ramming into the depths of the Broken Sky Forest like a savage king.
Thanks to the transformation of the Golden Spirit Fire, Lin Han’s vision became unbelievably strong. It was as if he could observe with clairvoyance.
At this moment, he witnessed it with absolute clarity.
Standing in the middle of countless ancient trees was that giant beast. It had the body of a tiger but the head of a dragon. There were two simple and unadorned-looking horns growing out of its head.
“Is that a xenogeneic demonic tiger that’s inherited dragon blood — the legendary dragon-tiger beast?” A doubtful expression flashed across his face.
Boom!
The dragon-tiger beast seemed to have been seriously injured. Although it still appeared ferocious, its footsteps staggered from side to side, randomly trampling and crushing countless ancient trees in the forest.
“Leave immediately! This dragon-tiger beast has cultivated for hundreds of years. Its demonic strength is too powerful, almost comparable to that of an expert in martial arts fifth tier. It’s invincible!”
Several people ran towards his direction from the distance and all of them looked terrified and frightened. One of them cried out to Lin Han when they ran past him.
Although Lin Han nodded at the person’s warning, he still stood right where he was, motionless.
Due to his practice on the Art of the Ancient Dragon Emperor, Lin Han was gifted with a kind of invisible coercion that could threaten beasts with dragon’s blood running in them.
Moreover, after the transformation of the Golden Spirit Fire, Lin Han’s powerful perception made him aware that this dragon-tiger beast was seriously injured and its breath was weakening.
This could be an opportunity for him to kill the ferocious dragon-tiger beast!
If he managed to capture it, perhaps he would finally accumulate the rest of the hundred taels of gold. There might even be an excess after he was done.
This dragon-tiger beast was a fierce, xenogeneic beast that came from deep within the forest. It could be sold at an absolute fortune because it was a rare and precious species.
“Run faster, Young Lady!”
Right at this moment, a lightly armored young man among the running crowd suddenly shouted.
“Young Lady?”
A curious expression hung on Lin Han’s face as he looked into the distance. There, right in front of the giant sole of the dragon-tiger beast, a good-looking young lady dressed in blue was heading his way. She had performed the light-body skill that allowed her to glide through the air.
“That’s brilliant.” Lin Han’s eyes brightened and immediately, he noticed the big “Luo” character that was embroidered on her shirt.
“The Luo clan? Perhaps they’re the disciples from Broken Sky City Governor’s Residence? Young Lady… Is it possible that she’s the daughter of Governor Luo?”
Fragments of messages appeared in Lin Han’s mind and he immediately recognized the identity of these people.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
The enormous dragon-tiger beast roared in the sky as it approached. Its ginormous soles sent massive vibrations into the ground.
Even a martial arts Grandmaster would be squashed into mud if they were trampled over by the soles of those giant feet.
‘The Governor’s daughter has outstanding skills. She could escape from the massive soles of that dragon-tiger beast each time at a really close distance; it’s amazing.’
Lin Han analyzed secretly.
Bang!
However, the dragon-tiger beast was too violent. Suddenly, the beast roared and the gush of air that spewed out of its mouth, like a pillar, instantly hit the lady in blue.
“Puff.”
The lady in blue turned pale before she was suddenly flung upwards into the air and some fresh blood spat out from her mouth.
“Young Lady!”
The young disciples were furious and they glared at the dragon-tiger beast but they also felt a sense of weakness and helplessness.
“Roar!”
The dragon-tiger beast’s piercing eyes were fierce. Then, the humongous beast roared again. Its massive mouth was wide open, it was as if it wanted to devour the lady in blue who fell to the ground.
Right at that moment.
“Quick Draw Sword!”
A green silhouette suddenly appeared in the sky. As a ray of sword-light flashed from his hand, a clap of thunder exploded from the void.
“Puff.”
In the next second, the sword-light tore a piece of that giant’s flesh open and a gush of fresh blood oozed out from it.
“Roar!”
The humongous beast felt great pain and started to howl miserably.
The lady in blue took advantage of that moment and immediately fled the scene, despite being covered in injuries.
It was only until now that the young disciples noticed that young swordsman dressed in blue who was standing not far away from them.
“This massive beast belongs to me now.”
Lin Han uttered slowly. The longsword in his hand trembled and his twinge of sword intent surged into the sky.
Now that he was facing the dragon-tiger beast all by himself, Lin Han could feel nothing apart from his blood boiling underneath his skin.
Lin Han’s heart was restless at this moment. It seemed like there was something he really yearned for from this dragon-tiger beast.
Exactly, it was a kind of yearning, or perhaps one could even call it greed!
“It’s the effect coming from the Art of the Ancient Dragon Emperor! That’s right, a trace of the ancient dragon’s blood runs inside of this dragon-tiger beast. Maybe some incredible changes will happen if I refine its dragon blood and incorporate it into my body.”
Lin Han’s eyes twinkled with brilliance and his eyes burned with passion as he looked at the massive dragon-tiger beast.
It seemed like he was fated to kill this massive beast.
The Art of the Ancient Dragon Emperor was Lin Han’s biggest secret. Something that made it thirst must be of great help to himself.
“Roar!”
Just then, the dragon-tiger beast that had been torn apart by Lin Han’s sword seemed to have felt the majesty of the Art of the Ancient Dragon Emperor. It roared in horror and started to run into the distance.
“You can’t escape now!”
Lin Han yelled loudly. This dragon-tiger beast would be a great boon to him so he would never let it escape just like that.
“Thirteen Moving Dragon Steps!”
Lin Han employed his martial arts skills. His body wandered around like a dragon and instantaneously sprinted into the distance in pursuit.
