At this mont, Zhong Li had completely cleared all the acupoints of the Yin Qiao ridian, reaching the fifth level of ridian clearing in cultivation.
Yet the Two-headed Mutant Beast before him made him feel a sense of danger, indicative of its formidable strength.
Of course, Zhong Lin wasn’t the only one who felt this way; the beast on the opposite side clearly shared a similar sensation.
It quietly crouched, its four eyes on two heads tightly locked onto Zhong Lin, its whole body motionless, seemingly fused with the vast earth.
Suddenly, the beast’s previously crouched body moved abruptly, like a bolt of lightning tearing through space, pouncing towards Zhong Lin.
Its speed reached the zenith, the entire body seed to transform into a sharp sword, capable of piercing through all swords in the world.
At the sa ti, its two large mouths opened wide, revealing its fierce teeth shining with white light, with hints of red flesh hanging between the gaps.
The pungent sll of blood imdiately rose to the sky, and Zhong Lin even caught a whiff of the foul stench.
As the Two-headed Mutant Beast moved, Zhong Lin’s figure also slightly swayed in that mont, as if he turned into the wind, a light and weightless breeze.
The beast’s sword-like iron body sliced through Zhong Lin at the waist, yet its four eyes turned even colder.
Because what it pierced through was not Zhong Lin himself, but rely his afterimage left behind.
In terms of pure speed, Zhong Lin was actually a notch faster.
For half a year, Zhong Lin had almost emptied the Sword Cauldron Sect’s library, including various leg techniques, step techniques, and lightweight body techniques. Now, Zhong Lin could wholly assert himself as a hexagonal warrior, fearless.
The Two-headed Mutant Beast suddenly let out a roar from both mouths, then its body abruptly changed direction in the air, rebounding like a slingshot.
Being able to change direction freely even in midair is extrely rare among human experts, unless they have practiced so special Light Body Secret thod, let alone this being a mutant beast.
However, the beast perford this maneuver with utmost ease, without the slightest difficulty, clearly having long mastered this skill.
Unfortunately, its speed was too slow.
As its two heads turned, what greeted them was a set of iron fists, which struck its heads and body with a rain-like barrage of hits.
Each strike felt like giant hamrs pounding on it, and even with its innate bronze skin and iron bones, it felt as if it were about to be completely dismantled.
The Two-headed Mutant Beast let out a whimper, suddenly plumting like a bird that lost its ability to fly, crashing heavily to the ground.
It was only the first confrontation, yet its fur was already riddled with countless rips, and a flood of blood pearls gushed from its body.
Zhong Lin laughed heartily, feeling indescribably refreshed.
"Just a beast, yet it dares to play technical tricks with . If not for forgetting my sword at ho, I would’ve sliced you in half earlier."
Originally planning for a hunt, Zhong Lin only brought the Black Rosewood Bow, so naturally, he had to use his fists in combat.
The only unexpected thing was that this mutant beast’s bones were strong and its skin thick, even Zhong Lin’s terrifying strength only battered it till it bled profusely, without causing essential harm.
The Two-headed Mutant Beast, just after landing, imdiately charged again with an unparalleled ferocity.
Icy blood tinged its four eyes on its two heads, seemingly solidified by the splattered blood from the recent fight, creating a chilling sight.
"Co again."
Zhong Lin laughed boisterously, his battle intent reaching the sky.
The Two-headed Mutant Beast roared, lowering its two heads abruptly, charging directly forward.
Compared to earlier, it seed a notch faster, almost reaching Zhong Lin as soon as it dashed out.
Zhong Lin was just about to make a move, when he suddenly felt sothing, stayed his feet, and rapidly shook his wrists to form a series of seals before his chest.
In the next mont, a mountain-still, earth-solid aura erged from around Zhong Lin.
A pale yellow energy shield rose up around him, like a city wall standing in front.
Bang!
The Two-headed Mutant Beast crashed heavily against the energy shield, accompanied by a wail, its whole body flung back.
"System."
Zhong Lin quickly accessed the system, only to find an unfamiliar martial arts technique appearing again.
Host: Zhong Lin
Skill: "Spiritual Cold Sword Scripture" (Full Level)...
Technique: Ground Seal (Beginner)...
Miscellaneous: Alchemy: Fourth Grade Elixir (Full Level)...
Skill Points: ∞
"Ground Seal, so Gate Seal Technique is called Ground Seal."
Zhong Lin’s face was full of surprise; he didn’t expect the sudden burst of inspiration to master this martial art directly, and rely the defense injured the Two-headed Mutant Beast.
Additionally, Zhong Lin sensed sothing subtle, faintly perceiving slight changes in his inner breath, as if it was infused with a hint of earth’s aura.
This was not the right mont for exploration, so Zhong Lin took out a Great Rejuvenation Pill and swallowed it, quickly restoring the emptiness in his dantian.
With a step, the inner breath swirled around him, creating certain miraculous effects within a small area, forming a whirlwind that boosted Zhong Lin’s speed beyond his past limits.
In a flash, he was already in front of the Two-headed Mutant Beast.
"Cotton Palm."
He struck with a hand, soft and gentle, seemingly without any power, lightly patting the back of the Two-headed Mutant Beast.
Originally, Zhong Lin’s target was its left head, but it evaded.
Next mont, a scream burst from the Two-headed Mutant Beast, fresh blood flowing from its mouth and nose.
Cotton Palm, also known as Hidden Needle Palm, specialized in destroying the internals, exceedingly insidious.
Though the Two-headed Mutant Beast had strong bones and thick skin, its organs were relatively fragile, so even though the Cotton Palm’s power was worn down through the fur, it still caused imnse pain.
Just as a joyful expression appeared on Zhong Lin’s face, the Two-headed Mutant Beast opened its mouths wide, inside harboring power so overwhelming that even Zhong Lin felt intensely horrified.
In an instant, a blue and a red energy ball were spat out from the beast’s mouths, quickly arriving before Zhong Lin.
Zhong Lin’s expression drastically changed, shock filling his heart.
"Breath, it’s actually breath, this beast has such a skill?"
The "Exotic Beast Atlas" records that so powerful mutant beasts have the ability of breath, capable of spitting out internal energy similar to martial artists. Although it is rely a simple mouthful of breath, lacking the intricacies of martial arts, even warriors of the Upper Third Grades would find it difficult to defend against in haste.
It’s understandable, initially thinking it was just a tough-skinned, powerful beast; who could have predicted it would unleash such an attack mid-battle, catching anyone off guard.
