029: Sword Intent!

Wang Jun's taunt made the beast enraged. Along with thunderous roars, a flurry of violent wind came from above in the shape of a gigantic tornado. Wang Jun, meanwhile, was nonchalant and even smirked wide in the face of impending doom.

Whooos!

As the tornado finally landed on the ground, it obliterating the surrounding into smitheren, it even caused the weather in the affected area to crystal clear afterwards, no clouds hung around in the sky, the toxic fume of sulfuric gas and acidic air were also blown away by the tornado. The King Kong golem was not so lucky, however. It was caught in the fury of maelstrom and disintegrated into a mist of rotten flesh and blood. Filling the place with a nauseating stench.

"Hahaha!" The beast laughed hysterically. But then, its laugh paused abruptly upon looking at the young demon below him.

Chimera Lion had lived for more than a thousand years, in that long lifespan, only few able withstood the [Hell's Tornado], but those adversaries were high leveled Spirit Beasts and not a cockroach like this arrogant young demon.

"How could you—"

"Phew, that was a close one!" Wang Jun patted his arms, legs and body to get rid of the dust. "Hey! Mister kitty cat! Is that the best thing you can do? Stop messing around already!"

ROAR!

"Courting death! I will turn you into my dinner!"

The Chimera Lion cladded its monstrous body with Spiritual Qi, the very essence of innate power that any Spirit Beast has within their body. Although Spirit Beasts and humans have different comprehension and different techniques in cultivation, the basic principle was still the same. Legend has it, the oldest Spirit Beast known to mankind, the Heavenly Dragon Spirit Beast, was the one who taught humanity the Path of Cultivation, millions years ago in a very distant star from the Earth.

Despite Wang Jun's behavior being so insolent and insufferable towards the Chimera Lion, deep inside he respected its mightiness. It was just his way to taunt his enemy to expose their own weakness and grasp it.

Though it was indirect, Wang Jun could learn a thing or two from the beast. Especially on how the Chimera Lion wielded its Spiritual Qi and cladded the body with it.

"I see, this beast also cladded its claws with Spiritual Qi to make them even sharper, stronger and also increase their reach! Wait, that means I could do the same with my sword, right?"

Thus, Wang Jun drew out his Yang Qi, enveloping the [Wooden Training Sword] with his fiery Qi. A brief moment later, the blade of the wooden sword had turned as hot as the sun itself. This was only possible since the sword was [Indestructible Object] and has high energy conductivity in the first place.

He pointed the tip of his sword to the ground, then he charged forward fearlessly. Playing time was over, it's either do or die for both of them. The victor shall be determined in this exchange.

A shadow of behemoth paw coming from above, the beast was confident to crush him in one go. However, the young demon had anticipated this attack pattern in a brief moment, it's clearly overpowering him in strength and raw power but not in wits and high mobility at his disposal.

Wang Jun jumped using [Abyss Walk], he teleported upon the beast's back in a flash. Wasting no time, Wang Jun tore its wings apart one by one like pulling some veggies out of the soil.

The young demon prevented the wings regeneration by hacking its muscle, he ripped apart its skin to a bare flesh and yanked out the wings joints. Rain of blood falls down upon the earth as the beast flails around in pain and agony, it immediately loses balance in mid air and free falling from the height.

Though it looks so barbaric and ruthless, Wang Jun's cuts were in surgical's precision, no wasted movement.

Crazed roars and ferocious behavior were displayed by the beast, Wang Jun aware he had to finish this battle as soon as possible before his strength depleted, he then stabbed and skinned its back with his Qi-cladded-wooden-sword.

He rode its back like a rodeo bull, it jumped, rolled, it did everything to make Wang Jun fall down but to no avail. Even though he took some critical damage by riding on its back, Wang Jun grabbed its bare flesh ever so tightly, he wouldn't let it go even if he died in the process.

Overtime, its strength significantly weakened as the blood loss had reached critical rate, its HP Bar falling down rapidly.

Wang Jun leaped high, focusing all of his Yang Qi into the [Wooden Training Sword], for this ultimate attack.

From the sky he brought the doom, a bright pillar of light soared through the heavens after Wang Jun delivered the devastating attack that was able to cleave the entire valley into a half.

What came after that bright light was a total, brief silence and then… catastrophe.

The earth shook violently! The mountain side was obliterated and divided into two areas. In the middle, the deep and ravenous valley was created by the sheer power of this young demon's attack.

Wang Jun was even taken aback by his own power, he never thought his simple swing would cause this so much damage. Meanwhile, the Chimera Lion was restless, it was still breathing even though its HP Bar was 1 percent left.

"Good fight, Mister Kitty Cat. Any last word?" Wang Jun said, squatting in front of its eyes.

"To hell with you, young demon!"

"Nope, I won't go to hell nor heaven. I'll live eternally!"

After he said this, Wang Jun stabbed its forehead right in the middle. Making sure the dead lion was really dead, by incinerating its brains with his Yang Qi. After a brief moment, the Chimera Lion disintegrated into ashes and was blown away by the wind.

[Raid Ended!]

[You have slain the raid boss Six Eyed, Six Winged Chimera Lion!]

[You have obtained 4.000 EXP!]

[You have obtained 2.500 Gold Coins!]

[You have learned a new Skill: Heaven Devouring Slash!]

[You have learned a new Talent: Sword Intent!]

"Sweet! Hehe, as expected from a high leveled Spirit Beast!"

Thunk! Thunk!

Various raw materials soon dropped on the ground one after another, this made Wang Jun smile in glee. After what he had been through, It was worth the pain and damage on his body that he sustained during the fight.

A huge crystal the size of an adult's head dropped on the ground, Wang Jun took it out of curiosity and soon the menu window displayed the information's details.

[Chimera Lion's Beast Core]

[Rarity: Ultra Rare]

[You can absorb this beast core to gain Primeval Qi and convert it to Pure Yang Qi.]

[You can use this beast core as a raw material to forge a weapon!]

[Selling Price: 10.000 Gold Coins]

Wang Jun's eyes almost jumped out of his skull, jaws dropped low upon reading the selling price.

"Haha! Jackpot!" His shrewd mind was at it again. "Wait, no, It's wiser to save it for later. Find an auction house to sell it to a rich NPC or to a prestigious, bonafide Sects would be far more profitable rather than trade it directly with other players. Most players are stingy bastards after all, gaining twenty grand of profit would be the most generous sum I could muster. Yeah, it's decided then! Let's find stronger monsters and farm their beast cores!"
