A Ninth-Rank Exotic Beast, Slain with a Single Sword Strike!

Chu Xinghe Xiangqian steadily, essentially pushing forward without much resistance.

No matter what kind of poisonous insect it is, as long as it carries the Blue Demon Shadow Fire, it will be terrified and run away in terror when it sees Chu Xinghe.

Chu Xinghe didn't even need to lift a finger; those flaming poisonous creatures would have fled as far away as possible...

Chu Xinghe had wanted to catch one or two poisonous insects several times to test the strength of the Blue Demon Shadow Fire.

But the conditions don't allow it... those Blue Demon Shadow Fire are running way too fast...

Chu Xinghe was so angry he almost peed his pants...

What happened to the promised strength of Blue Demon Shadow Fire?

What happened to the promise that even my Bright Gold Divine Fire might not be able to withstand it?

Now, this Blue Demon Shadow Fire is like a greenhorn in front of my Bright Gold Divine Fire!

I, Chu Xinghe, am carrying the precious treasures bestowed upon me by the various palaces...

I planned everything before I came in... Doesn't Blue Demon Shadow Fire look dangerous?

When I, Chu Xinghe, faced the Blue Demon Shadow Fire, was it perfectly reasonable for me to surround the Bright Gold Divine Fire Flame with various defensive treasures for safety?

When the Blue Demon Shadow Fire starts burning those precious treasures... won't it be a huge loss if so many treasures are destroyed on the spot?

If I, Chu Xinghe, don't burn all the treasures, then Blue Demon Shadow Fire is simply not powerful enough!

I, Chu Xinghe, had already gotten into position, but Blue Demon Shadow Fire was as cowardly as an egg!

It doesn't even have the guts to confront me head-on... Tell me, what the hell am I supposed to do?!

Chu Xinghe was extremely anxious...

Right now, Chu Xinghe is rushing towards wherever there are the most Blue Demon Shadow Fire...

However, wherever Chu Xinghe went, all the Blue Demon Shadow Fire vanished in an instant.

Chu Xinghe was itching to curse those ancient poisonous insects and Blue Demon Shadow Fire right now!

You dare call yourselves ancient poisonous insects?

You guys at least have the words "ancient" in your names, okay?... Can't you at least be a little more substantial?

And then there's the Blue Demon Shadow Fire... Didn't the Great Sage and Elder He say that this thing wasn't an ordinary flame?

Is this what you call "extraordinary fire"?

If I chase it like this, even if it's a dog, wouldn't it turn around and bark at me a couple of times? But isn't this Blue Demon Shadow Fire a bit too easy to bully?

Soon, Chu Xinghe remembered what Cheng Xiaotian had said before, that Fang with the Body of Heavenly Fire had initially managed to withstand the poisonous insects and Blue Demon Shadow Fire when he first entered.

It was only after encountering those strange insects that it was burned to a crisp.

Fang, that's Body of Heavenly Fire... so those insects behind him should be the real culprits.

The Blue Demon Shadow Fire on these ancient poisonous insects was merely corrupted, so it's normal that its power was weak. The insects that followed were definitely different!

Thinking of this, Chu Xinghe's confidence was rekindled...

No problem. As long as I keep moving Xiangqian, the Blue Demon Shadow Fire I encounter will become stronger and stronger. As long as they are powerful enough, my plan to burn the treasure can still be carried out.

With this belief, Chu Xinghe charged Xiangqian relentlessly.

Hard work really pays off...

Finally, Chu Xinghe saw those peculiar insects that had burned Fang something into small black charcoal...

Seeing the purer Blue Demon Shadow Fire emanating from these insects... Chu Xinghe jumped up in excitement!

Come, come... please come and meet me quickly... I, Chu Xinghe, can't wait!

Having identified the area with the most insects, Chu Xinghe activated numerous powerful treasures and charged forward with all his might!

But the instant Chu Xinghe charged into the swarm of insects, the Blue Demon Shadow Fire on all the strange insects suddenly went out!

Chu Xinghe: "???"

Good heavens Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded...

What happened to the promise of being stronger?

You call this stronger?

At least the ones before could run fast, but this one was wiped out instantly? What the hell?

Just as Chu Xinghe was so angry he was about to vomit blood, the poisonous insects around him suddenly began to gather in one direction, and as these insects gathered, the ground in the area where they gathered suddenly began to move.

A moment later, the ground suddenly cracked open, and five creatures that looked neither like pigs nor cows emerged from the crack.

These five strange-looking things not only appeared eerie, but they also exuded the aura of Ninth Rank!

Almost instantly, the five strange beasts had surrounded Chu Xinghe from all directions.

"Ninth Rank beast! Xinghe, run!" Although the Grand Elder was outside the ruins, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw the suddenly appearing Ninth Rank beast.

Not only the Grand Elder, but everyone was stunned at this moment...

Previously, this ruin only contained poisonous insects, then the Blue Demon Shadow Fire appeared, but now even a Ninth Rank alien beast has emerged?!

Logically speaking, Ninth Rank beast wouldn't be a problem under normal circumstances... after all, ruins usually attract people in groups.

A group of Eighth Rank prodigies working together could easily take down Ninth Rank beast.

The problem is... there are no other prodigies here, only Xinghe he's facing five Ninth Rank ancient beasts all by himself...

"Xinghe, we must leave quickly... This is the ancient beast Yanqi! It's extremely difficult to deal with!" Elder He immediately identified the mysterious beast.

The ancient mythical beast Yanqi prefers to live with poisonous insects and creatures, and feeds on them. Its poisonous nature is not a problem, since Xinghe has all kinds of antidotes on him, so there's no way he'll have any issues.

But this thing is thick-skinned and tough. Under normal circumstances, let alone Eighth Rank Martial Emperor, even a newly ascended Ninth Rank Martial Emperor would have a headache dealing with it.

One-on-one combat might be manageable, but against five opponents, even a novice Martial Emperor would have no choice but to flee.

Just as everyone was startled by the sudden appearance of the Ninth Rank beast Yanqi, within the ruins, the Haotian Sword Casket on Chu Xinghe's arm shone brightly.

In an instant, the divine sword flew out of Chu Xinghe's Haotian Sword Casket!

Seeing Chu Xinghe unleash the Haotian Sword Casket, the many powerful figures outside were stunned...

Has Xinghe gone mad?

Five Yanqi? Is he planning to fight five Yanqi all by himself?

Let alone Chu Xinghe, who is at the Eighth Rank, even Martial Emperor who has just entered the Ninth Rank probably doesn't have this combat power!

But there was no time for them to think, as the battle within the ruins had already begun.

Faced with five Yanqi, Chu Xinghe not only did not choose to run away, but instead took the initiative to attack!

Thunder Shadow appears! Purple Lightning Flash!

Thunder descended from the sky, and the terrifying lightning struck the head of the Yanqi that was charging at the front. The Yanqi that was struck fell to the ground, and the huge impact of its running created a deep trench in the ground as it finally lay down in front of Chu Xinghe!

And this Yanqi, struck by Thunder Shadow... died on the spot!

Outside the ruins, all was deathly silent!

From the Mystic God Gu Mingchao to the ordinary disciples of various sects, everyone could now clearly see what had happened through the scenes created by Mystic God Gu Mingchao's Divine Sense within the ruins!

I can see it clearly... but I don't understand it!

The Ninth Rank Yanqi... was instantly killed by Chu Xinghe with a single sword strike?

Isn't this a bit too outrageous?

We know that Chu Xinghe is very strong. Although he rarely makes a move, no one in the world thinks Chu Xinghe is weak. In fact, among the younger generation, there is probably no one who can rival Chu Xinghe.

Is it really appropriate for Eighth Rank Chu Xinghe to fight five opponents alone and instantly kill a Ninth Rank Yanqi with a single sword strike?

Everyone looked at Elder He... What happened to the supposedly formidable defensive capabilities of Yanqi?

Seeing everyone's gazes, Elder He was also dumbfounded...

I, Old He, never speak carelessly. The defensive power of this Yanqi even surpasses that of a normal beginner Ninth Rank Martial Emperor. Even if you send an ordinary Peak Martial Emperor to strike it, there is absolutely no possibility of instantly killing it.

But Xinghe's sword strike was truly outrageous!

Is it outrageous? Chu Xinghe didn't think it was outrageous at all. Thunder Shadow's single-target attack ability was the strongest among all the divine swords in the Haotian Sword Casket.

Under normal circumstances, a full-force attack from Lei Ying would be enough to break through the Martial Emperor's defenses. If a vital point were struck, Thunder Shadow could even inflict significant damage on the Martial Emperor.

Although this beast was ferocious, its intelligence was clearly no match for that of a human... so it had no idea what it meant to protect its vitals.

Thunder Shadow's Purple Lightning Flash and struck a vital point. The combination of Thunder Shadow's inherent destructive power and the Power of Misfortune meant that if this attack hadn't killed the beast, Chu Xinghe would have been turning tail and running...

At this moment, the first Yanqi was killed... The other four Yanqi were obviously enraged by the death of their companion. At the same time, green light emanated from the four Yanqi, and they flew towards Chu Xinghe from four directions, covered in poisonous mist.

The bull horn-like objects on their heads flashed simultaneously, and in an instant, four terrifying beams of light blasted towards the spot where Chu Xinghe was standing!

Wherever the light passed, the earth was torn apart by its radiance!

This terrifying power was simply beyond Chu Xinghe's ability to withstand.

The Grand Elder was sweating profusely with nervousness, shouting for Xinghe to get out of the way!

But Chu Xinghe couldn't hear the Grand Elder's shouts... At this moment, not only the Grand Elder, but even Gu Mingchao was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

But facing the four beams of light, Chu Xinghe seemed not to see them at all, showing no intention of dodging whatsoever!

Seeing this, everyone from the Vast Heaven Sect was so anxious they wanted to rush in!

But even if they rushed in now, it would be too late... because right before everyone's eyes, four beams of light slammed into the spot where Chu Xinghe was, instantly engulfing the area where Chu Xinghe was!

Silence... At this moment, the area outside the ruins was completely silent... Gu Mingchao's eyes were bloodshot... and his entire body was radiating murderous intent!

If Xinghe were to die in these ruins today, Gu Mingchao would probably go insane!

Just as everyone was too terrified to utter a sound by the murderous aura emanating from Gu Mingchao, which belonged to the Mystic God, the Great Sage spoke up, "Sect Master, do not be alarmed, the Holy One is unharmed!"

As soon as the Great Sage uttered these words, everyone saw Chu Xinghe appear behind a Yanqi like a ghost. The Fingers-Wrapping Softness flew out of Chu Xinghe's hand like a silk thread, and the thread instantly wrapped around the Yanqi's neck.

Chu Xinghe activated the Fingers-Wrapping Softness, unleashing a burst of cold light and blood rain, directly severing the second Yanqi's head from its body...

But at this moment, no one was focused on how terrifying the destructive power of Chu Xinghe's "Fingers-Wrapping Softness" technique was. What everyone was focused on was how Chu Xinghe had managed to leave and reappear in Yanqi in an instant, as if by teleportation.

How exactly was this done?
