Su Hao’s eyes were tightly shut as he sat cross-legged. At this moment, his mind was constantly recalling the battle today, and he was trying to find out what he was lacking.
However, what he didn’t know was that the outside of the cave was already surrounded by more than ten demon beasts of the twelfth level of Qi Refinement. However, for some reason, they didn’t charge in immediately.
A six-meter-tall demonic beast slowly walked out. If Su Hao were to see it now, he would definitely immediately think that it was a Purple Pupil Barbaric Bull. It was because this demonic beast’s appearance was extremely similar to that of the Purple Pupil Barbaric Bull. Other than the one Su Hao had encountered, the Purple Pupil Barbaric Bull’s body was even larger, and its pupils were golden. There was no difference between the two.
This Demonic Beast that was similar to the Purple Pupil Barbaric Bull kept its gaze fixed on the entrance of the cave. After a while, it called out to a Demonic Beast, and the leopard-type Demonic Beast immediately understood and walked into the cave.
Su Hao opened his eyes. It wasn’t because he had finished his cultivation, but because he had heard the sound of footsteps. Those footsteps weren’t concealed in the slightest, so he could easily hear them. However, even if he tried to conceal it, with Su Hao’s current powerful physical body, he could still sense it.
A black shadow suddenly pounced towards Su Hao. However, he, who was already prepared, did not have the slightest bit of panic in his heart. There was only a flash of cold light. The black shadow that pounced towards Su Hao did not even have the chance to let out a scream before it fell to the ground, dead.
“Demon Beast of the twelfth level!”
Su Hao squatted down and poked the corpse of the demonic beast with indifference.
“Could this demon beast be here to snatch territory? No, that’s not right.”
Su Hao immediately extinguished this thought.
“Judging from its actions, it obviously knows that I’m here. It seems to be targeting me. But that shouldn’t be the case. These Demonic Beasts have yet to transform. Why would it target me?”
Su Hao couldn’t figure it out. He shook his head and stood up. Since he couldn’t figure it out, he might as well go out and take a look. His intuition told him that the answer was right outside.
Many demon beasts stared at the entrance of the cave. To be exact, they were staring at the human figure at the entrance of the cave. At this moment, their eyes were bloodshot. They couldn’t wait to eat this human.
However, these demonic beasts that had yet to evolve did not think about why the demonic beasts that were at the 12th level of the Aura Refining realm like them did not come out. However, forget it. After all, the demonic beasts that had yet to evolve only had a little more spirituality compared to the animals in the past, but they were still wild beasts.
Su Hao looked around and realized that there were thirteen demonic beasts at the bottom of the cave. Their cultivation levels were all at the twelfth layer of the Aura Refining realm, but these demonic beasts were not much of a threat to him. What really made him feel danger was a bull-type demonic beast. This demonic beast was very similar to the Purple Pupil Demonic Beast, but Su Hao could still recognize what kind of demonic beast it was with a single glance. Its name was the Golden-Eyed Divine Bull, and its bloodline was two grades higher than the Purple Pupil Holy Bull. It could even be said to be a divine beast and not a demonic beast.
“It’s actually a divine beast.”
After seeing the golden-eyed divine bull, Su Hao finally revealed a serious expression. Divine beasts were equivalent to the paragons of the human race. They were all invincible in the same realm and could even fight across realms.
After the golden-eyed divine ox saw Su Hao, there was a hint of human-like vigilance in its eyes. As a divine beast, although it had yet to transform, its intelligence was only slightly inferior to humans. It also understood that this human before it was very dangerous.
It was true that Su Hao’s body didn’t have any aura of cultivation. However, not long after the Shadow Leopard entered, Su Hao came out, but it was nowhere to be seen. This meant that the Shadow Leopard had most likely fallen into Su Hao’s hands. Moreover, Su Hao didn’t seem to have any injuries on his body, so killing the Shadow Leopard was most likely done casually.
In addition to the fact that Su Hao was killed yesterday, he had the other 12th level Aura Refining realm demonic beasts on hand. It deduced that although Su Hao was not as strong as it was, he was probably on par.
Compared to the Golden-Eyed Divine Bull’s worry, Su Hao was starting to feel a bit eager. With so many twelfth level Qi Refining Demonic Beasts, he could use them to test out the qualitative change in his saber aura yesterday. Moreover, he felt that after this battle, his combat ability would completely change.
At the thought of this, Su Hao unsheathed his Tangdao, and his battle intent soared into the sky, causing all the demonic beasts to take a few steps back. Even they were a little shocked by this battle intent.
The golden-eyed divine ox saw that the demonic beasts were still a little fearful. It let out an angry roar, and the eyes of the demonic beasts turned blood-red. They charged towards Su Hao as if they wanted to skin him alive.
“Good timing!”
Su Hao raised his blade to meet the attack. A cold light shot out in all directions, and a blood-red blade aura surged out. In just an instant of exchanging blows, three twelfth level Aura Refining Demonic Beasts were easily cut down by Su Hao.
After activating the berserk Demonic Beasts, not only were they not afraid after seeing that their teammates had died, the violent aura on their bodies became even stronger. They were determined to tear Su Hao into pieces.
Seeing this, Su Hao was filled with fighting spirit. The saber aura that erupted from his body almost solidified, and he continued to fight against these demonic beasts.
Every time Su Hao swung his blade, a Demonic Beast would be severely injured. However, even if it was heavily injured, they would still charge forward without fear of death. Even if they were to die, they would still bite off a piece of Su Hao’s flesh. However, how could Su Hao give them such an opportunity? All the Demonic Beasts within ten steps of him would either have their limbs chopped off, their heads chopped off, or their lives pierced through by his blade.
However, their desperate struggles were still effective in the end. As time passed, this kind of life and death struggle between both sides also caused many injuries to appear on Su Hao’s body. However, the good thing was that he didn’t injure his vital points. Moreover, with Su Hao’s fighting standards, his intuition was gradually honed until it became sharper and sharper. His blade techniques became more and more ingenious. At this moment, a simple blade technique was being used in his hands like an incomparably profound technique.
It wasn’t long before blood covered the entrance of the cave. Su Hao’s entire body was stained with blood. His upper clothes were torn apart, and there were large and small wounds on his robust and beautiful body. His blood and qi were agitated, and his aura was slightly unstable. At this moment, in front of Su Hao was filled with the severed limbs and shattered bodies of demon beasts. Even if his physical body was stronger than an ordinary cultivator’s, and he also had a powerful technique like Saber Force, after fighting with a dozen or so demon beasts at the twelfth level of Qi Refinement, he still couldn’t help but feel slightly dispirited.
However, Su Hao did not relax. He took a deep breath and calmed the blood in his body. Then, he turned around and swung his saber. A blood-red saber aura killed a snake demon that was about to launch a sneak attack. Then, he stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down at the golden-eyed divine ox. This fellow was smart. If he did not go personally, his subordinates would come and kill him first.
When the golden-eyed divine ox saw Su Hao looking at it like this, it was instantly incomparably enraged. As a divine beast, it wouldn’t allow itself to be looked down upon in such a manner. Even though its intelligence was already close to that of a human, it was still enraged, and it directly leaped onto its enormous body to suppress Su Hao.
The place where Su Hao stood was covered in shadows. He looked indifferently at the golden-eyed divine bull that was about to smash down. The current him could not go in the same direction as before. After this bloody battle, regardless of whether it was his saber techniques, movement techniques, or battle instincts, they had all been greatly improved. He took a wrong step, lightly stepped on the ground, and nimbly jumped down the mountain.
Just as Su Hao’s feet left the cave, the Golden-Eyed Divine Bull smashed into the entrance of the cave. A tremendous force that could shake a mountain directly collapsed the entire cave.
This caused Su Hao’s eyelids to twitch. He was glad that he didn’t have a head of iron to receive it head-on. If he were to receive it head-on, even if he didn’t die, he would have to lie in bed for a few months.
The golden-eyed divine bull’s attack missed. It looked around and found Su Hao’s figure. Its golden eyes were filled with killing intent as it stared at Su Hao. Not only did this human kill so many of its subordinates, he even dared to look down on it. This was something that it could not tolerate.
“Oh? Are you angry?”
“Are you angry?”
“Looks like he’s angry!”
“F*ck you. Come on, Bitch.”
When Su Hao saw the golden-eyed divine ox looking at him with such hatred, he could not help but grin. He started to provoke it in an eccentric manner and even made an international gesture.
Even though the Gold-Eyed Divine Bull didn’t understand this action, it could sense Su Hao’s mocking intent. In an instant, it let out a furious roar. This human had once again provoked it. The Gold-Eyed Divine Bull, which had been overwhelmed by rage, immediately went berserk. If it didn’t kill Su Hao today, it would not be a demon!
But before it could make a move, Su Hao’s blood red blade aura floated and instantly arrived in front of it, swinging down! The sound of the blade resounded, and the overbearing blade aura carried a blood red killing intent as it charged towards the golden-eyed divine ox.
At this moment, the bull felt a sense of life and death. Even its divine beast body couldn’t stop Su Hao’s slash. It would surely die!
An intense aura of death enveloped the golden-eyed divine ox, but it did not intend to sit still and wait for death. Relying on its divine beast bloodline, it quickly mobilized all the spirit energy in its body. In the next moment, the spirit energy covered its entire body. Instantly, its defense reached the level of half-step Foundation Establishment. After doing all of this, before it could heave a sigh of relief, Su Hao’s blade had arrived!
The crimson saber projection struck the Golden-Eyed Divine Bull, and a resounding boom erupted throughout the entire mountain range. All of a sudden, all of the surrounding birds and beasts fled as if they were fleeing for their lives.
Su Hao’s saber couldn’t break through his defense at the first moment, causing the golden-eyed divine ox to let out a sigh of relief. Its eyes then turned incomparably vicious. It secretly thought that after Su Hao’s attack ended, it would ruthlessly crush him to death, crush him into meat paste, and then swallow him into its stomach!
In its eyes, if Su Hao’s mortal body was able to unleash such a powerful strike, then it would definitely have to pay a huge price. As long as it could endure this strike, Su Hao would be like a fish on a chopping board, waiting for it to slaughter him.
His thoughts weren’t wrong, but there were also some mistakes. It was because Su Hao wouldn’t pay too great of a price to unleash this strike, he was just a bit exhausted of his vitality.
Just as the Gold-Eyed Divine Bull was fantasizing about Su Hao’s various ways of death, the blade aura on Su Hao’s body suddenly erupted. The blood qi on the Tang blade became thicker and thicker, and the tangible blade aura began to display its divine might at this moment. Previously, Su Hao didn’t erupt with the true power of the tangible blade aura because the consumption was too great. However, at this moment, he still chose to erupt with the true power because he understood that if this blade strike didn’t kill the Gold-Eyed Divine Bull, then he would die.
The Golden-Eyed Divine Bull’s defenses were like paper before this explosive saber strike, and it was easily broken through. In the end, the Golden-Eyed Divine Bull’s eyes were filled with disbelief and unwillingness as the saber strike covered its entire body, and it was like a meat grinder that had minced its body into pieces.
“Sigh.”
Su Hao used the Tangdao to support his body, half-kneeling on the ground as he panted heavily. At this moment, he felt as if the world was spinning around him, as if he would faint at any moment.
This strike had consumed too much of his energy. At the very least, he would need to rest for a day before he could return to his peak state. If he could, he really didn’t want to slash out this strike.
However, the strength of this Golden Pupil Divine Ox was really too powerful. Although the bloodline of the divine beast in its body wasn’t as tyrannical as the Purple-Golden Winged Lion’s Ancestral Awakening Bloodline, its strength was much stronger than the Purple-Golden Winged Beast that had fallen from a serious injury. If he didn’t slash out with this slash, Su Hao wouldn’t have any other methods to kill it.
Su Hao did not tidy up the corpses of the Demonic Beasts. Firstly, he did not have the energy to do so. Secondly, he needed the corpses of these Demonic Beasts to shock the other Demonic Beasts. These Demonic Beasts were all at the twelfth layer of the Aura Refining realm. The Golden-eyed Divine Ox leading them was even stronger than the thirteen Demonic Beasts combined. Su Hao guessed that it was the overlord of this mountain range.
As long as their corpses were here, they would be able to deter the other Demonic Beasts from approaching.
But right now, Su Hao had a headache because the cave had already collapsed, and he didn’t have any place to rest. However, just as he was endlessly troubled, he noticed that even though the cave had collapsed, there was still an opening that was enough for others to enter!
Su Hao’s eyes lit up. There really was a silver lining. He limped in through the hole, but he could only walk for ten meters before he couldn’t go any further because he was already filled with rocks.
But it didn’t matter. At least Su Hao had a place to rest. This small hole looked very stable, and there wasn’t much of a problem. At least he didn’t have to worry about it suddenly collapsing and burying himself alive.
At the thought of this, a smile appeared on Su Hao’s face. Then, he sat down cross-legged and began to recover.
