Chapter 34: Duel of Midnight Predators
The moon hung high, casting a cold silver glow across the battlefield. The forest rustled with uneasy whispers, the breath of hidden beasts shivering under the presence of a far greater predator.
Xiao Chen smirked.
"Alright... now it's my turn."
His eyes sharpened as he took a single step forward—
"Void Piercing Steps."
WHOOSH!
His figure vanished like mist in the wind, a chilling gust left in his wake. In the blink of an eye, he reappeared behind the Bloodthirsty Boar—silent as the breath of death.
The boar's crimson eyes widened, its thick muscles twitching—
Too late.
SWISH!
A silver arc sliced through the air. Xiao Chen’s Light Sword shimmered—clean, precise, unstoppable.
SLASH!
The boar’s head flew, its lifeless body crashing to the ground with a dull thud. Blood sprayed into the air, misting the night with its metallic scent.
The other beasts froze.
