Huan Caiyi nodded in understanding and stayed while Zhi Hui disappeared from the back of iying.
When she appeared, she was already in front of the humongous bear-type spirit beast. It had black fur with so strange marks on its head. The way it was standing in the air, it seed like a human’s form.
Well, spirit beasts of this level are terd half-demons; they can easily understand human language.
When Zhi Hui appeared in front of it, she looked quite small. Generally, beasts beco quite big as they grow stronger, though only a few don’t show this type of growth due to different reasons.
Zhi Hui looked towards it and spoke.
"We didn’t know that this territory belonged to you, and we have no intention of staying here. We are just passing by, so it will be better for everyone if you let us go."
When the beast heard that, it snorted and looked at Zhi Hui nacingly.
Spirit beasts hate humans the most, and since it had already seen Zhi Hui’s cultivation, which was similar to its own, why would it let go of her?
"I see, so be it." Zhi Hui took out her sword and looked at it without blinking.
Eventually, winds began to converge around her. When the beast saw that, its eyes widened. It knew that she was dangerous, far more than it had originally thought.
It lunged at her with its claws raised. They gave off a tallic shine and were as big as she was.
When the claws were just about to touch Zhi Hui, who was already clad in wind, she disappeared. It wasn’t void movent, as that takes so ti to activate.
It was pure movent, seemingly as fast as void movent.
When Zhi Hui appeared, she was behind the beast.
Instantly, dozens of wounds appeared on the bear’s body. Every single wound was deep enough to draw its blood.
The vitality of a Grade 6 beast was just too high, so this much blood loss wouldn’t even tickle it. As expected, it imdiately turned and swiped its claws again. It was too fast and powerful. Even the air was sliced around the claws, leaving trailing marks in the sky.
Zhi Hui smiled and disappeared again. She was just too fast to be caught.
The sa thing happened again. When she appeared this ti, she was above it, and more wounds appeared on the bear’s skin.
It looked grim now. By now, it had already understood that she was a bad match for it.
It roared, and blood qi began to converge on its body—it was a bloodline ability.
Its body shone with a tallic sheen; it was like its fur had turned into tal.
Even Zhi Hui was surprised by it, but she still smiled.
"Interesting... You have quite a rare bloodline ability. Looks like this was the reason you were so confident. Very well then, let show you sothing interesting too."
When she spoke, the wind around her increased exponentially before compressing to the point that it seed so strong it might shred anything in its way.
Before, these winds were transparent, and only by sensing qi could they be seen. But now, these winds were visible to the naked eye.
She held her sword in both hands and raised it above her head. All the wind around her moved and converged around the sword.
When the beast saw that, it felt imnse danger. It thought of running away imdiately. Even Jiang Hao felt imnse danger just looking at that sword.
When Zhi Hui saw that it wanted to run away, she said,
"It’s too late to regret now."
Before she finished speaking, she brought her sword down with almost instant speed. It was as if the slash didn’t even take a fraction of a second.
Swishhhhhhhhh!
There was only a swishing sound before a long ravine was ford on the ground. Jiang Hao was stunned when he saw it—it was just too powerful.
The beast was torn in half. Even its tallic fur made no difference.
The flesh around the cut was also shredded, as if it had been minced by sothing.
Ming Yue sighed.
"That was the Whirlwind Blade skill. She rarely uses it."
"She did it to push herself. The amount of qi she infused was enough to make it as strong as an Earth-tier skill. That’s why it was so devastating," Huan Caiyi clarified for them.
Zhi Hui stored the falling corpse of the beast into her storage bag and arrived on the back of iying.
"I think we should stop here for so ti. It will take so ti for them to arrive here anyway. This territory is already empty and is a perfect spot for us to stay for so ti. I think I will be able to break through in five or six days."
"Then let’s do so. Let’s find its lair. There might be a lot of treasures there."
They moved around for a while and ca across a small mountain. There was a huge clearing around it with no trees.
Halfway up the mountain was a giant cave. There was no doubt that this cave was the lair of the beast.
They entered inside. It was quite big, with different compartnts built inside.
It didn’t take long for them to find its treasury.
"Damn... It really had so good stuff."
There were a lot of spirit herbs inside one of the compartnts.
"There are at least 13 Void Reversion-level spirit herbs here. Looks like being a territory master really has its perks," Huan Caiyi couldn’t help but exclaim.
Jiang Hao was also very surprised at the number of herbs here. Spirit beasts consu the spirit herbs they find, but to think that this beast had stashed away such high-level spirit herbs...
There were so reasons why it might not have consud all these herbs.
First, it was already full after eating, which was possible, as even spirit beasts can’t consu spirit herbs consecutively. They have to digest them for a long ti.
Second, it might have been planning to go into hibernation to break through after eating them all together. This might also be true, as bear-type beasts do go into hibernation.
Well, whatever the case, they got quite the loot.
Jiang Hao looked around, but there was nothing else other than herbs.
Huan Caiyi eventually put all the herbs inside her storage bag.
Jiang Hao couldn’t help but think of one thing. Now that everything was inside her storage bag, how would they have a chance to steal anything from her? Did she even sleep? Even if she did, would they be able to remove her storage bag? He doubted that.
He still had a lot of fire spirit herbs left in his ring from last ti. And now that he was in a place where he might get even more herbs, he wasn’t too worried.
He had wanted to co to the Dark Forest before going to the Mountain Sword Sect for resources, and since he was here, resources should be the least of his worries. How he would survive was the most important thing.
Although he had peerless perception to sense dangers, would it be of any help if he got attacked by a Grade 6 or above spirit beast? Sadly, the answer was no.
He had seen the power and speed of Grade 6 beasts.
Although Senior Zhi Hui was able to dodge calmly, he wasn’t even able to see a single attack from them. They were too fast for his eyes. He could only guess what the attack was.
He ca out of the cave and looked towards the clearing in front of it. It was about 500 ters long and almost 200 ters wide without any trees.
After looking at it carefully, he had only one thought in his mind: this was done deliberately.
It looked more like a gathering place for spirit beasts, and this beast held this gathering from this entrance as a king.
It wouldn’t be far from the truth. In the wilderness, only the strong rule. Given this beast’s strength, it wouldn’t be surprising if it had subordinates.
No wonder it was able to get its hands on such a huge amount of spirit herbs.
Huan Caiyi ca to the entrance after taking everything she wanted from the compartnts and looked towards the clearing. She then called Ming Yue over.
"This looks like a good place for training. Starting today, I will allow you guys to break through once. Now that we are in quite a perilous situation, it will be better for you both to reach the Core Formation realm. So, we have to step up the training for your battle sense."
"Before, I thought we had ti, so I was going easy on you two by only slowly beating you. However, there is another thod that I think is far better, but I thought it might be too much for you guys to handle, so I didn’t ntion it."
Ming Yue couldn’t help but start sweating when she heard that. She wanted to curse Huan Caiyi loudly, but she knew it wouldn’t affect her at all. So, she just endured and listened.
"It’s very simple. You both can heal very fast when not restricted. Jiang Hao can heal even in seconds. So, I will make you both reach the sa condition as you were after one day of training in just one hour. After that, you will remove your restriction and heal for ten minutes."
"After ten minutes, we will continue the sa process for the whole day and night, until Zhi Hui breaks through to the late stage. And we start right now. Let’s go."
Even Jiang Hao felt a little dread when he heard that.
