Climbing The Pagoda 4

The tiger howled in pain as a large gash appeared on its side, but it didn't stop.

It swiped its claws, barely missing Fang Zixuan's shoulder.

"Impressive," Fang Zixuan remarked, evading another strike. "But not good enough."

"Dance of the Golden Phoenix!"

He blurred, his movements impossible to follow. In a flash, he was behind the beast, his sword raised.

"Soar Above the Heavens!"

His blade sliced cleanly through the tiger's neck, severing its head from its shoulders.

With a thud, the body crumpled to the ground.

A notification screen appeared in the air.

"Level 1-4: Completed."

Fang Zixuan nodded, his expression serious.

"I can't let my guard down. There are still many challenges to come. And all of this without any of my beasts, what a let down"

Meanwhile, Sun Yichen had been transported to a dense jungle. He gazed at the thick foliage, his senses alert.

"Where is it?" he muttered.
