Trial Part 3

"So, this is going to be the final trial." Looking at the creature in front of him, Li Xian laughed. This creature was four feet, walked on four feet, and five feet long body. Its body was covered with black hairs with few silver stripes around its neck.

Its eyes were completely dark with a dog-like mouth. When Li Xian gazed at him, it wasn't a dog. It was a wolf, a ferocious wolf with an overwhelming murderous aura. This aura made him took few steps back. Suddenly, he stopped and a thought rang in his mind 'I am a swordsman. Why would I need to fear murderous aura?"

"Hu!" He took a long breath and released it. In an instant, his left hand touched the hilt of his sword and he got covered with a blue aura. This blue aura was very dim but the wolf could easily feel it. With its instinct, it backed up few feet.

"Grrr"

Suddenly, it stopped and growled at him. The next moment, it blinked its eyes for a single time and rushed towards Li Xian. They were around a hundred meter away from each other, the wolf covered that distance in eight seconds.

With the sudden approach of the wolf, Li Xian caught sheathe with his left hand and the hilt with his right hand. In an instant, his sword withdrew from sheathe and moved up with a slash. The tip pointed from the bottom to the top releasing a powerful blue aura around it.

"Crash"

When Li Xian's hand reached out the sword, the wolf was already in the mid-air. It was rushing towards Li Xian from the air. Its fore left foot stretched out. At that instant, the ferocious revealed its fang. Its fang came down while Li Xian's sword went up. In the middle, both of them crashed.

But at this moment, Li Xian underestimated the wolf. Only at this instance, he understood the wolf was Low-Tier Rank One Monster. Although it was Low-Tier, for someone like Li Xian, it was already undefeatable existence.

"Bang" "Thud" "Thud" "Thud" "Thud" "Whoosh"

When the wolf fang crashed with his sword, his sword aura block the sharp fangs but his body couldn't bear the strength of the wolf. Wolf fang smashed its power on his left chest, making him roll few times in the ground.

Every time, his body hits the ground, he tries his body to not let his head hit the ground. His arms, back, neck, and legs dripped in blood. But no matter how much his body got hurt, he still stood in an instant. His mouth was also covered in his body.

"This monster is at least equal to the second stage of Junior Martial Artists." Li Xian murmured while blood dripped down his mouth.

"Splash"

He sucked in and spit blood on the ground. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he saw a black shadow appear in front of him. But his gaze was still blurry. Before he could figure everything out, pain awoke him.

Finally, he saw a wolf tooth biting his right stomach. Suddenly, it let go of his stomach and smashed its fang on the ground.

"Bang"

The impact made Li Xian floated on the ground, spinning with his eyes closed. The wolf stood on its rearfoot and pulled its fang back. The moment Li Xian stopped spinning and began to fall, wolf fang clenched together and formed a fist and smashed on his stomach, at his wound.

But suddenly, the sword rose up. His hand trembled with no strength, but the sword aura didn't vanish. His closed eyes slowly opened as he saw the opened mouth of the wolf rushing towards him. The sword in his hand was pulled in front.

It was fast, it was swift, filled with sword aura, and covered with blood. His sword spun, the moment his mouth reached two meters in front of him. His moving sword stopped, and the circular bubble emerged out of his sword.

"Echo in Dark"

"Ba-Bang" "Thud" "Thud"

Echo was covered with a blue aura, it trembled and passed through the head of a wolf. It directly razed its shoulder and shot the wolf towards the wall. But Li Xian wasn't in good condition. He also collided with the wall and fell on the ground, with the blood coughing out of his mouth.

"Grrr" "Grr" "Howl"

With the blood dripping out of its shoulder, the wolf trembled in pain and stood up while shaking his body. Its front legs were drenched in blood but that wound began to heal very soon. This was a big advantage that a monster has.

The exact opposite of the wolf, Li Xian was still resting on the ground. His eyes were opened for a moment, but he closed them when the memories flash in his mind. At this moment, he remembered what his mother taught him when he fought an animal that hadn't turn into a monster.

"Xian, you can't expect to learn something from the battle that you are losing. You can't dodge the attack and say I will slowly get used to this battle and learn from it. You can't win if you don't force yourself in the midst of the battle."

"In the battle, you need to force your talent to live up to your expectation. You need to control your talent and force yourself to burst into the realm of enlightenment. That enlightened won't be coming knocking in your door."

"Giving up your arms and legs in the battle just to save your life isn't worth it. If you feel like you can't win, then run. There is no shame in running for your life. But if you think that fight is worth it, then fight, fight till you die."

Slowly his eyes opened, a smile formed on his lips. He slowly tried to stand on his feet, but he failed and fell to his knees.

"Ugh" Blood gushed out all over his eyes, but the grip on his sword didn't loosen. Turning his eyes at his sword, he slowly lifts it in front of his eyes. Looking at his sword that wasn't stained with his enemy's blood instead with his own blood, he murmured "I can't afford to lose here."

"I can't afford to die here. My sword is yet to be covered in the blood of my enemy. Mom, I don't know how to burst into the realm of enlightenment but I know I have to win this, so watch over me."

Slowly his sword came down, the tip of the sword pierced the ground and he stood with the support of his sword. His blood colored the floor and he slowly pulled the sword from the ground.

"Tap" "Tap" "Tap" "Tap"

His ears twitched as he heard the sound of a wolf running towards him. He lifts his head and looked at the black eyes of a wolf, and took a step forward. His steps didn't stop, and he started sprinting towards the wolf.

'Perfection, this strike will reach the realm of perfection. Because if it doesn't, I will.....' When he reached ten meters away from the wolf, his feet kicked the ground and his body jumped in the air. He grabbed all of his strength in his hand and swing it.

The sword moved forward and his body rolled on the air. His sword followed his body and spun. But the sword aura didn't disappear instead it stuck with the sword.

"Echo in Dark"

Seeing his movement, the wolf didn't care. It stretched its right feet and clashed its fang towards the sword. The circular bubble emerged out of his sword. But this time, it was a little different. The circle bubble was spinning rapidly.

"Splash"

The circle bubble moved towards its right fang. At this moment, the wolf's instinct shaken as he tried to avoid it in the middle of the attack. Unfortunately, it couldn't and its fang crashed into the spinning circular bubble with its full force.

The attack of the wolf was very powerful but the circular bubble was moving forward. Although the impact caused its momentum down, it still reached its body and tore its leg apart. When the wolf came to a realization of Li Xian's condition, it rose its left leg in the air, swallowing the pain in its heart.

When the sword in his hand trembled he realized the wolf was attacking. His body stopped moving but his hand didn't. When he looked up at his sword, a smile formed on his lips as he sighed "Just what I needed."

The sword aura covering his sword was now six centimeters thicker, twice the previous sword aura. At the same time, it was clear to look. He gripped his sword with his right hand and slashed down from the left top side of the wolf to its waist.

"Crash" "Bang"

His sword knocked away the fangs but he didn't stop there. When the tip of the sword was fell towards the ground, he caught the hilt with his left hand and slashed up. He slashed at the same place. But unlike the previous time, his sword wasn't blocked by fang as it tore apart its left leg.

At this moment, both of them landed on the ground. Li Xian had two legs and two arms. As for the wolf, it only had two legs. But Li Xian wasn't disturbed by his landing. His sole focus was on his sword. His eyes widen as he found the tip of the sword was pointing at the sky.

The only wolf knew why his eyes were wide. Because it saw Li Xian right arm rapidly moving up towards the sword hilt. Sword was vertical, both hands were at the hilt of the sword, so when Li Xian widens his eyes, he slashed his sword down.

"Shadow Kill"

"Splash"
