Whether it was Fatal Blow being upgraded to intermediate, allowing him to wield a long sword and unleash Blade Blade Blazing Fire, or Swordsmanship Proficiency advancing to master level, both significantly boosted Lu Chen's strength.

But feeling all of this, Lu Chen didn't look very happy.

"This world is too dangerous. A powerful figure's weapon from many years ago, after turning into an Evil Spirit because of something, already left me in a sorry state. How terrifying must be the children and weapons of those great figures?"

"Moreover, the great figure I encountered this time had a very good personality. Even though it wasn't his fault, he still gave me some rewards because it was related to him."

"But the fact that he hasn't ended this dangerous world only means that there are dangerous existences in this world that can contend with that White-Robed Swordsman, or even defeat him."

"Furthermore, the White-Robed Swordsman can reward me when he's in a good mood, but he can also crush me when he's in a bad mood. And that's just the kind-hearted White-Robed Swordsman. If it were other Evil Spirits, my life and death would be at their whim the moment I encountered them."

"Having my life and death decided by others is something I absolutely cannot allow."

Others saw an opportunity to improve their strength from this encounter, but Lu Chen only saw his lack of control. He didn't want to be someone who could be crushed at will.

"My fate can only be in my own hands."

Therefore, after organizing his gains and resting for half an hour, Lu Chen picked up his sword and went out again.

"Sir, are you going out?"

"Wait for me at home."

Leaving those words, Lu Chen glanced at the sun in the sky and quickly headed towards West Mountain.

"I can't afford to relax yet!"

Lu Chen strode forward and, after half an hour, re-entered West Mountain, the hunting grounds of Barbarian Bull Village.

This time, Lu Chen didn't wander around aimlessly. He scanned his surroundings and quickly headed towards a specific location.

Another half an hour passed, and Lu Chen nodded as he looked at the somewhat empty and quiet valley.

"According to Uncle Da Zhuang, that Barbarian Beast is nearby."

Barbarian Beasts are different from ordinary wild animals. They are more nutritious, and many of the Shaman's hot soups require the blood and bones of Barbarian Beasts.

However, these nutritious Barbarian Beasts rarely appear on the Barbarians' tables.

There's no way around it. Humans aren't the only masters of this world. Besides Evil Spirits, Barbarian Beasts are also a major threat to humans.

When encountering Barbarian Beasts in the wild, most of the time, it's not humans hunting Barbarian Beasts, but Barbarian Beasts eating humans.

In fact, ordinary Barbarians don't dare to approach areas where Barbarian Beasts are present. Even if they do, they hunt in large groups.

However, what Lu Chen found even more frustrating was that although the village had organized large-scale hunts, those Barbarian Beasts also possessed intelligence. They would run when humans mobilized in large numbers.

Therefore, in Lu Chen's memory, there weren't many hunts for Barbarian Beasts, and each time one was hunted, the village celebrated as if it were the New Year.

But this time, Lu Chen came to the territory of the Barbarian Beasts alone.

With many people, the Barbarian Beasts would run, but when there's only one person, the Barbarian Beasts would mostly attack humans proactively.

"I'm not fast, and I don't have ranged attacks. I can't catch any slightly clever wild animals at all. But Barbarian Beasts are different. As long as I enter their territory, they will take the initiative to find me, so I don't have to worry about the prey running away."

In this situation, Lu Chen indeed didn't have to worry about the prey running away, but it was hard to say who was the prey.

But Lu Chen was already mentally prepared for this.

"Isn't it just fighting? Come on, Fire Bull!"

Lu Chen didn't hold back the last "Come on!" but roared loudly.

The roar was like thunder, spreading far and wide in the mountains.

This was a provocation, a blatant provocation to the overlord of this area.

Such a provocation naturally angered the Barbarian Beast here.

"Moo~~~~"

With a loud bellow, a Fire Bull with fiery red fur and a height of over two meters came charging into Lu Chen's sight from a distance.

Looking at the figure of the Barbarian Beast, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Lu Chen's mouth.

"As expected, this is the fastest way to find Barbarian Beasts."

However, powerful Barbarian Beasts are indeed not difficult to find, but the difficulty always lies in how to kill them.

Every Barbarian Beast is difficult to deal with.

At the same time, contrary to some people's impressions, humans are the ones who launch sneak attacks most of the time when facing Barbarian Beasts.

After all, compared to wild beasts, or rather, Barbarian Beasts, the human body is not strong.

Therefore, human hunting relies on traps, bows and arrows, ambushes, and various other methods.

However, that's what others do, and while Lu Chen is human, he is different.

"The reason humans use bows and arrows, traps, and ambushes is because the human body is inferior to beasts; using those methods is the only way to obtain prey."

"But I am different. I don't have hunting skills; all I have is abundant Qi and blood, and a strong body."

"For me, ambushes are the worst approach; my greatest strength is head-on confrontation."

Thinking like this, Lu Chen looked at the Barbarian Beast, a bloodthirsty smile appearing on his lips.

The fiery red Fire Bull opposite him also lowered its head, but that was not surrender, but a prelude to an attack; it had already aimed its ferocious horns at Lu Chen.

Then, with a roar, it stomped its hooves and charged fiercely towards Lu Chen.

As the Fire Bull charged, Lu Chen actually felt the ground shaking, from which one could imagine the power of the Fire Bull's charge.

And its terror was not limited to this.

"BOOM!!!"

As it charged, its fiery red fur became even more dazzling, and finally, it suddenly lit up and burst into flames.

At this point, the Barbarian Beast in front of him had turned into a true Fire Bull, burning with raging flames, charging towards Lu Chen like a runaway tank.

What was even more terrifying was that after igniting the flames, the Fire Bull's speed suddenly increased by a level.

And this sudden increase in speed was enough to disrupt all of the enemy's plans.

"Can't dodge."

Feeling the Fire Bull's sudden increase in speed, Lu Chen understood that he could not dodge.

"However, your sudden acceleration is indeed good, but I never intended to dodge anyway!"

Facing the charging Fire Bull, Lu Chen had no intention of dodging at all; he simply took a deep breath, then raised the long sword in his hand high, gathering all his strength.

At this moment, with his strength concentrated at one point, Lu Chen's muscles bulged, and blue veins writhed, all of which made Lu Chen look like an Asura, inspiring awe.

Just like that, the rapidly charging Fire Bull and Lu Chen, who had gathered all his strength, collided fiercely.

As the Fire Bull's ferocious horns were about to reach him, Lu Chen's raised long sword also swung down violently.

"Come on, that's it, whoever is stronger wins!"

In a roar, Lu Chen unleashed his strongest sword strike.

With a "boom," the point of impact suddenly erupted with a violent explosion, and the air vibrated in the midst of the collision.

However, at this moment, Lu Chen was in no mood to pay attention to those things.

At the moment of impact, Lu Chen only felt as if he had been hit by a speeding vehicle; instantly, an astonishing force pressed towards Lu Chen.

But Lu Chen now was not what he used to be; that force was indeed powerful, but Lu Chen's feet were firmly planted in the ground, stubbornly resisting being knocked away.

However, although he did not fly up, Lu Chen's legs plowed two long furrows, six or seven meters long, in the ground.

At the same time, the force of the impact ran through his entire body, and Lu Chen only felt sore all over, his arms numb, and a large amount of blood spurted from the tiger's mouths of his hands holding the sword.

Not to mention, the flames on the Fire Bull were still scorching Lu Chen's body as it charged.

However, although all these injuries were serious, Lu Chen stubbornly endured them with his 44 points of constitution.
