The Mysterious Energy
As Tong-Kuang was trying to assess the situation, a blaring roar occurred and a monster with a gigantic pair of horns appeared in front of them in the thick fog…
Dan-Chun-Gu: “That’s the Iron-Horned Bison Monster!”
When Dan-Chun-Gu saw the monster that came out of the fog, he shouted the monster’s name loudly because he had seen this type of monster before. The Iron-Horned Bison Monster came with huge horns that were made from iron. It had a body the size of a regular human being, but its facial features looked silly…
“The Iron-Horned Bison Monster!?”
Tong-Kuang had never met one before because he mostly stayed in the Tian-Tang clan’s estate, unlike Dan-Chun-Gu and the rest of the group who had to take a trip regularly…
Tong-Kuang: “What is its energy level?”
Dan-Chun-Gu: “I’m not sure about it. I only know that the lowest ones possess the first level of the Foundation Building stage. But I think this one should be at least the fifth level of the Foundation Building stage judging from its huge horns…”
Fu-Tao-Qi: “Beware everyone! I don’t think it comes alone…”
Wheeze! Wheeze!
As Fu-Tao-Qi was about to finish his sentence, the second Iron-Horned Bison Monster popped out. And then the third, fourth, and fifth came out. Not long after that, about ten Iron-Horned Bison Monsters were standing, blocking the way. They were extremely fierce…
“What happened?” When the carriage stopped, Zheng-Fu poked his face out to check what happened. That was when he saw those monsters in front of the carriage. Then he said, “Where are those buffalos from?”
“Hahaha!”
Ji-Zhung-Gong: “Buffalos? Young master Zheng-Fu made them look like helpless animals!”
Ji-Zhung-Gong could not help but laugh out loud. Others also thought that it was very funny. Zheng-Fu turned a stressful situation into something lighter. Everyone laughed when they heard Zheng-Fu called the Iron-Horned Bison Monsters buffalos…
“Hahaha!”
The first Iron-Horned Bison Monster that came out was the leader of the group. It started to roar while bowing its head to point its horns towards Zheng-Fu’s group. Then it began to shuffle its feet…
Whoosh!
Shriek!
When the leader of the monster roared again, the rest of the monsters rushed to attack Zheng-Fu and the group. Tong-Kuang and the rest switched to the get-ready position…
Tong-Kuang: “Here come the attacks! Protect Young master!”
Whoosh!
As Tong-Kuang told others to get ready, a wind blew past him as if something had just flown by. When he could see what happened, he realized that the wind was actually Zheng-Fu…
Watch out, Young master!
Stab!
Before Tong-Kuang finished his sentence, Zheng-Fu disappeared into the air instantly. What Tong-Kuang heard next was the sound of a sword jabbing into something meaty…
Shriek!
One of the Bison Monsters fell down as it was running towards the group. That made its leader roar out of extreme anger…
Stab!
Stab!
A Bison Monster after another started to fall. The scene was big bloodshed. Tong-Kuang looked at what happened and did not know what was going on. He started to doubt whether the person he saw in front of him was really his young master Zheng-Fu…
Gulp!
Dan-Chun-Gu and the rest were not any different from Tong-Kuang. They all gasped with shock and confusion. They believed that Zheng-Fu was at the ninth level of the Qi Gathering stage. Zheng-Fu made them wonder how a kid that young could slay those Bison Monsters so easily. Those Bison Monsters were at least as strong as someone at the Foundation Building stage…
As Zheng-Fu continued to kill the Bison Monsters, everyone started to get their minds back and rushed to help Zheng-Fu instantly. The collaboration helped get rid of a lot of those monsters. Now there were only a few of them left…
Shriek!
The leader of the Bison Monsters shrieked out of extreme grudge to see its members die, one after another. Then the monstrous leader released some kind of black energy to cover itself…
Whoosh!
Zheng-Fu noticed the black energy so he shouted, “Get it quick, brother Tong-Kuang!” Then Zheng-Fu dashed towards the monster and did not wait to use the Index of the Sword of the Wind against it…
The black fog on the Bison Monster worried Zheng-Fu very much. And now the black energy on those deceased monsters drifted to gather around their leader’s body…
As it happened, a strong wind wave started to twirl around the leader’s body. The energy that was circulating its body emitted some kind of a pressure vibe towards Zheng-Fu’s group. Earlier on, the Bison Monster was merely something that Tong-Kuang could get rid of because he was at the seventh level of the Foundation Building stage…
But as the black energy was conjured around the monster, Zheng-Fu’s group could sense a tremendous rise of energy from the monster. And all of a sudden, there was a purple light appeared on the middle of the Bison Monster’s forehead…
Shriek!
The shriek startled Zheng-Fu and the group drastically so much that their faces turned pale. That was because the energy that came with the shriek showed that the Bison Monster’s energy level had become higher than Tong-Kuang’s…
Tong-Kuang: “Step back, Young master!”
“No! We must stop the monster from incorporating that black energy!”
When everyone heard Zheng-Fu, they all got themselves together and started to attack the Bison Monster again…
Bam!
Bam!
Boom!
No matter how hard the group tried to attack the Bison Monster, they could not do anything to stop it. The Bison Monster used its iron horns and only that could ward off all kinds of attacks from Zheng-Fu and his group already. Zheng-Fu started to conjure his Qi energy and sent it to his Sword of the Eagle of the Wind to prepare to use a deadly fighting technique on the monster…
At this point, Zheng-Fu’s energy level was higher than the time that he first encountered that monster because he had already stepped into the Foundation Building stage…
“Everyone! Duck!”
When Tong-Kuang heard that, he jumped out of Zheng-Fu’s way instantaneously. When the rest saw Tong-Kuang jump, they did the same thing right away…
Whoosh!
[The Willow Leaves Skill]
[The Index of the Sword of the Wind]
Slash!
Zheng-Fu’s speedy moves confused Dan-Chun-Gu and the rest of the group. They had never seen anyone or anything this quick before…
When Zheng-Fu used the Sword of the Eagle of the Wind with the Index of the Sword of the Wind technique, the outcome was double. Even though Zheng-Fu was at the third level of the Foundation Building stage, his special sword and that particular sword technique made the outcome look like it was from someone at the ninth level of the Foundation Building stage…
Slash! Slash!
Shriek!
Zheng-Fu’s sword cut the Bison Monster in half instantly. Even though its iron horns were very strong, it could not catch up with Zheng-Fu’s speed. So, it ended up being just a still target…
The monster’s blood was pouring out all over the place. When it was killed, the black energy around it disappeared. The fog in the forest started to subside too…
Yan-Yu: “Yay! He could stop it!”
Everyone turned to look at Zheng-Fu with admiration. They saw that Zheng-Fu’s energy level was very high despite how young he was. The group thought that the boy was a real martial arts genius…
When everything stopped, Zheng-Fu got down on his knees instantly because he was drained. The fighting technique that he just used consumed almost every bit of his energy. If he did not use the Speedy-Move skill, he would not know if he could take down that Bison Monster…
“Young master!”
Tong-Kuang rushed to grab Zheng-Fu’s body instantly, followed by Dan-Chun-Gu and the rest…
“I’m fine. I just spent too much energy. That’s all. I think I’ll be better if I get some rest.”
“But…!”
Zheng-Fu prepared to meditate to revive his balance. But as he was about to get ready, he noticed something purplish. He remembered that he saw it in the middle of the Bison Monster’s forehead…
“That’s…!”
Zheng-Fu reached out to grab the thing instantly. As he touched it, he could feel some kind of strange energy being sent into him. Then he started to feel dizzy like he was about to faint…
Zheng-Fu did not wait any further. He tried to cultivate his energy to fight back that strange energy that was flowing into him right away…
*What kind of energy is this? How come it was so forceful?*
As he tried to fight the strange energy, the black fog that surrounded the Bison Monster before, now appeared around Zheng-Fu’s body. Tong-Kuang, seeing that, tried to grab the purple thing away from Zheng-Fu, but was thrown away by some kind of horrific force…
Zheng-Fu was close to losing consciousness and did so eventually. He lay down in the middle of the black fog. Everyone could only witness the whole thing but had to stand back because they did not have the power to do anything. If Tong-Kuang could not do anything then they could not either…
“Young master!”
Tong-Kuang was in agony and worried like hell because he was afraid that something bad would happen to Zheng-Fu…
Dan-Chun-Gu walked to Tong-Kuang and asked, “What do we do, brother Tong-Kuang?” Then he turned to look at Zheng-Fu who was asleep in the black fog…
Tong-Kuang: “Let’s camp out here. I have to stay on guard to protect young master. No matter what happens, I believe he would be able to go through it…”
Ji-Zhung-Gong: “I’ll go fetch some firewood!”
Yan-Yu: “I’ll come with you. Wait up, chubby!”
Lang-Guang-Kuang: “I’ll check the area. Don’t know if there are some other monsters around!”
Everyone turned to look at Lang-Guang-Kuang because he just uttered words. When he saw the group looking at him, he just shrugged and jumped up into the air, and disappeared…
Dan-Chun-Gu: “Fu-Tao-Qi and I will guard this area. You go watch young master, brother Tong!”
“Got it!”
Everyone split to do their jobs after they knew what their duties were. Tong-Kuang was the only one who remained in the area to stay close to Zheng-Fu. He could not get any closer because of that dark energy that was covering his young master…
