Guidao Shen Heart

The man, Li Han Yu, one of the Han Yu Four that was talking to Xiang Xiang felt a sudden sense of danger and turned his head towards the magical beast.

To his surprise, the gigantic arm of the magical beast was raining down on him and his comrades at a terrifying speed.

"Everyone, dodg-" Before Li Han Yu could warn his comrades, the arm of the magical beast landed on all 4 of them, turning them into meat paste.

Meanwhile, Xiang Xiang watched with an amused expression on her face as the 4 individuals were killed with but a single attack.

'It seems they all ran out of True Qi before they killed the magical beast. Such a pity. I should thank them for doing a ton of damage to it though." Xiang Xiang thought to herself while lightly laughing.

The magical beast was a gigantic white bear with giant black spikes that looked like fake crystals on its back.

Its claws and eyes were black as well.

"Come here and let me kill you!" Xiang Xiang said as she ran full speed toward the magical beast. She released Evil Qi around her arms and palms, ready to attack the beast.

'Let's see if I can do what that guy did.' She thought as she tried to manipulate her Evil Qi and condense it into a solid form.

'What should I condense it into?' She thought to herself.

ROAR!

Xiang Xiang's train of thought was interrupted when the magical beast let out a loud and furious roar at her. When she finally focused on the magical beast, she noticed it swing its arm at her.

It still had chunks of bone, meat, and other body parts on its arm.

'Ew...'

Xiang Xiang dodged the quick attack of the magical beast and used the opportunity to run up its arm, towards its head.

"W-woah!" She said as the magical beast lifted its arm high into the air while she was running on it. Xiang Xiang quickly responded and jumped from its arm towards its head.

'Sharp! I need something like a blade.' She thought to herself as she finally condensed her Evil Qi into the form of sharp spikes around her hands.

Xiang Xiang flew completely over the head of the magical beast but she made sure to dig her claws into the side of its face, causing a long and bloody wound to open up.

ROAR!

The magical beast let out a painful roar as it swung furiously at Xiang Xiang as she was landing back on the ground.

"Damn, giant creatures are annoying...I remember fighting those giant automatons back in my world, truly troublesome..." Xiang Xiang said as she skillfully avoided the attacks of the magical beast, though she was almost hit by a few of them.

'It just keeps swinging its arms at me back and forth. That wound must be painful and its already heavily wounded...' Xiang thought as she avoided the magical beast's arms.

Suddenly, while Xiang Xiang was dodging the attacks of the magical beast, she noticed a violent fluctuation of True Qi in front of her and saw a giant and terrifying black and white beam erupting from the magical beast's mouth.

'What the hell? It can shoot beams from its mouth too? This fight just got even harder.' Although Xiang Xiang saw the Han Yu Four fight the magical beast, she didn't see the magical beast use any mouth beams at all.

Does that mean it counts me as a true threat?

Was it just treating the Han Yu Four as weaklings?

Was it playing with them?

Countless thoughts went through Xiang Xiang's head as she was trying to understand the magical beast's intentions. If it really was playing with the Han Yu Four then why did it let them injure it?

'I need to hurry up and kill this thing before it reveals more trump cards.' Xiang Xiang knew from previous experience that prolonging a battle is never good unless you have an abundance of trump cards.

'Transform!'

Xiang Xiang condensed her Evil Qi into the form of a dark red, long, and sharp sword that she held in one hand.

'I can't afford to get close to this thing now. If it can recklessly shoot those beams then I could die by trying to attack its head again.'

Xiang Xiang was assessing the situation at an amazing speed as she jumped over and ducked under the magical beast's arms and dealt a few meaningless blows every time.

'Tch. These worthless attacks won't damage the magical beast that much. I need to find a way to either deal a fatal attack or multiple weak attacks at once.' Xiang Xiang imbued her legs with Evil Qi and her speed increased tremendously.

'Do I have any technique that can help me with this situation?' She was both sorting through her memories and barely dodging the magical beast's attacks at the same time.

Blood Strengthening Technique!

"I can absorb all the blood that my opponent spilled and grow in strength! Also, there's no drawbacks, this technique is amazing!" Xiang Xiang activated the Blood Strengthening Technique and all of the blood around her and on the wounds of the magical beast moved towards her.

It was an odd sight because the blood fell to the ground and moved towards her like a drop of water moving down a window.

The moment the blood touched Xiang Xiang's feet, power surged through her entire body and her Evil Qi was replenished despite it not being anywhere near empty.

Her muscles bulged before going back down and becoming more refined and slick. A terrifying aura was being released from Xiang Xiang's body.

"So much power! This little beast is dead!" Xiang Xiang said as she flew into the air, facing the magical beast's head, and released a gigantic amount of Evil Qi around her.

"Receive my attack if you're truly powerful! Hahaha!" She laughed as she manipulated all of the Evil Qi around her and condensed it into dozens of dark blood-red swords.

They all pointed towards the magical beast's body.

R-ROAR~

The magical beast let out a weak roar at Xiang Xiang when it looked at all the terrifying swords pointed at it.

"Ha!" Xiang Xiang put her left arm out in front of her as if commanding the swords to attack. The swords followed her orders and came raining down on the magical beast with stopping for a second.

'Let's see how you defend against this!' Xiang Xiang thought to herself as she let out a terrifying laugh and watched the magical beast struggle for its life.

Pfft-

Pfft-

Pfft-

rRoOaArRr...

The magical beast let out a weak and painful roar as the swords pierced its snow-white fur, dying it completely red. Dozens of swords would land in one central area, causing immense pain and damage to the magical beast.

A few swords even landed on its face.

It tried recklessly swinging its arms at the swords in hopes to repel them but they just pierced right through the magical beast's paws.

Now it hurt for the magical beast just to stand.

'Ooh...That's definitely gotta hurt.' Xiang Xiang said while covering her mouth and looking at the magical beast struggle.

roar~

The magical beast let out a weak and almost unnoticeable roar as it finally laid over and died. Blood leaked profusely from all over its body, forming an artificial lake of scarlet red blood.

As this happened, the power Xiang Xiang received from the Blood Strengthening Technique disappeared altogether.

'So its just temporary huh? I guess that makes sense.' She thought to herself as she walked up to the corpse of the magical beast. She cut open a large wound on the belly of the magical beast and went inside of it.

Since the magical beast was so large, in order to get the monster core out of it she had to go inside.

"I remember from these memories that all magical beasts have something called monster cores, which is apparently what allows them to absorb the True Qi of the world." Xiang Xiang said to herself as she annihilated the intestines of the magical beast.

She enveloped them in her Evil Qi and shredded them to pieces.

As Xiang Xiang proceeded through the body of the magical beast, she felt strong True Qi fluctuations along with a mysterious energy in front of her.

Xiang Xiang walked a few steps further and moved some intestines to the side, revealing a black and white crystal embedded in some more intestines.

Not only that, but she found a small heart-like organ that looked like it would fit in the body of a human. It was completely gold with 6 red spots on it in a circle.

Giudao Shen Heart?!

"Why has this appeared, and why in the body of this magical beast?" Xiang Xiang's voice slightly trembled as a system panel appeared in front of the heart organ, describing its details.

Since she didn't know about it at first, this was helpful.
