Blood Rage

The Earth-Rending Bear paused, a flash of anger in its huge eyes.

It couldn't understand why this seemingly weak human before it had the courage to attack first.

However, in that moment of its daze, Lin Xuan was already upon it.

"Roar!"

A tiger's roar shook the heavens as Lin Xuan's fist came crashing down, already empowered by Blood Rage. This punch was packed with force.

"Bang!"

A sonic boom echoed through the air as Lin Xuan's fist landed with tremendous power.

The Earth-Rending Bear, as expected of a Blood Refinement mid-stage demon beast, reacted swiftly despite its momentary surprise.

It abruptly raised its arm to defend, its massive frame not clumsy but surprisingly agile.

"Boom!"

An explosion erupted as the force created a ripple of air that shot outwards.

"Stomp!"

The Earth-Rending Bear's massive body actually took a large step back from Lin Xuan's punch.

"Roar... HOAR..."

The Earth-Rending Bear roared in fury, as if deeply insulted. It swung its arm, the terrifying power carrying a strong gust of wind that stung Lin Xuan's cheeks.

"Concealed Breath Stride!"

However, Lin Xuan didn't panic in the slightest. He tapped his foot, and his figure flashed to the side, the Earth-Rending Bear's swipe completely missing.

A gale swept past him, entirely caused by the Earth-Rending Bear's swipe.

If I'd been hit, I'd be seriously injured at least. Blood Refinement mid-stage, terrifying indeed.

Lin Xuan murmured inwardly.

At that moment, the Earth-Rending Bear, having missed its attack, charged straight at Lin Xuan, its speed as swift as the wind.

Lin Xuan took a step back, his figure retreating rapidly.

Lin Xuan had a rough understanding of the Earth-Rending Bear's combat strength. The Minor Accomplishment level Concealed Breath Stride allowed him to remain undefeated.

If he used Blood Battle Three Forms, he should be able to fight, but Lin Xuan wasn't sure if he could kill it.

Of course, there was also Senior Sister Ling Yan eyeing him covetously outside the nest. Lin Xuan wouldn't be foolish enough to expose himself.

"Roar... HOAR..."

Lin Xuan retreated rapidly, the Earth-Rending Bear hot on his heels, and in an instant, he retreated to the outside of the nest.

Lin Xuan's face was filled with terror as he shouted loudly, "Senior Sister, help, help..."

On the mountain wall outside the nest, Ling Yan's lips curled into a sneer, her eyes extremely cold, but she showed no intention of making a move.

"Ah..."

Suddenly, a scream of agony came from inside the nest, accompanied by a terrifying explosion.

Ling Yan's eyes narrowed, and she saw Lin Xuan flying backwards from inside the nest, his eyes filled with terror and unwillingness.

The corners of his mouth and the front of his clothes were stained red with blood, and his aura was plummeting wildly.

"Bang!"

Ling Yan coldly watched Lin Xuan's body fall to the ground, roll out, and then lie motionless, all signs of life completely gone.

"Heh... trash is trash. A little trickery is all it took to cost him his life. Senior Brother Liu Yan really overthought things."

"This time when I go back, my position in front of Senior Brother should be greatly improved."

"Lin Xuan... heh, he's played a useful role."

"Thump thump thump!"

Just as Ling Yan's thoughts were racing, the Earth-Rending Bear charged out of the nest.

Ling Yan didn't see the hint of human-like confusion in the Earth-Rending Bear's eyes.

It couldn't understand why Lin Xuan, who could have escaped the nest directly, had stopped to take its attack.

Is this human an idiot?

"Die!"

However, before the Earth-Rending Bear could think further, a chilling killing intent appeared behind it, causing the fur on its back to stand on end.

"Roar..."

With a horrified roar, the Earth-Rending Bear lunged forward.

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late. With a thwack, a sharp blade pierced its back, the intense pain assaulting its mind and causing it to cry out in agony.

But it was worthy of being a Blood Refinement mid-stage demon beast, and a beast with thick skin and flesh at that. At the critical moment, its speed suddenly exploded, and the sharp blade couldn't keep up with its speed and left its body.
