A Wyvern—a Lord-level Wyvern!

Among monsters, Wyverns were generally classified as Commander-level monsters, but there were powerful members within the Wyvern race who could naturally cultivate to the Lord level.

"Wyverns are an exceptionally troublesome kind of monster. They inherit the traits shared by dragonkind—boundless strength and incredible agility. Among Lord-level Monsters, if there is any creature capable of contending with a dragon, it would be these terrifying Wyverns!"

Xu Feng thought with a headache. Ordinary flying monsters, even if they reached the Lord level, did not frighten him. Flying monsters usually had weak defenses, so he could control throwing knives to attack from afar. But Wyverns were an exception; their defenses were exceptionally formidable.

The Wyvern's icy gaze swept over Xu Feng, and Xu Feng could feel its killing intent!

"Hmph, do you really think you can defeat me?" Sensing the Wyvern's killing intent, Xu Feng's anger flared. "Today, I may as well slaughter you!"

Xu Feng was also a proud man. He had always followed one principle: if others did not provoke him, he would not provoke them; but if others provoked him, he would strike back. He had come to City No. 003 mainly to battle monsters and master his body's strength, yet this Wyvern had come looking for him on its own.

The killing intent in Xu Feng's heart grew stronger as throwing knives shot toward the Wyvern.

If he were fighting a human, the hardness of the Blood Shadow Saber would be enough to kill a God-level human without the weapon breaking. But monsters were born with incredibly powerful bodies, and Wyverns in particular were among the best. With the hide and scales of a Lord-level Wyvern, even if it stood still and allowed a beginner Lord-level human expert to attack it, it would still be difficult to break through its defenses.

Therefore, Xu Feng did not use the Blood Shadow Saber against the Wyvern. No matter how hard the Blood Shadow Saber was, even if he gave it everything he had, he would find it difficult to use it to pierce the Wyvern's defense.

However, Xu Feng's Mental Power had already reached the God level, and his throwing knives were exceptionally sharp—sharp enough to break through the Wyvern's bodily defenses.

Seeing the Wyvern fly toward him, its razor-sharp dragon claws gleaming with a chilling light, Xu Feng's heart tightened. Relying on his Perfect Level Movement Technique, he dodged the claws reaching for him as steel-hard throwing knives shot toward the Wyvern.

Xu Feng dodged the Wyvern's attacks with his Perfect Level Movement Technique while controlling six throwing knives to shoot toward its head!

The sharp throwing knives radiated a bone-chilling gleam!

Although Xu Feng's attack was fast, the Wyvern still sensed it clearly. A cold glint flashed in its eyes as it moved with terrifying agility, its wings striking toward Xu Feng while one claw reached for him.

With a great roar, the Wyvern's entire body tensed, overflowing with explosive power. It instantly unleashed its full-force attack against Xu Feng. Xu Feng only felt an unbelievable force erupt from the collision of fist against fist. The force traveled into his arm, making it go numb and instantly lose all feeling as his body flew backward out of control.

Yet at the same time, his other hand was caught by the Wyvern. His backward flight came to an abrupt stop, and Xu Feng's whole body shuddered as piercing pain assaulted his nerves.

"What a terrifying Wyvern. It must be a beginner Lord-level Monster!"

Xu Feng gritted his teeth, deeply shocked. Though he had not used his full strength just now, being able to so easily neutralize his attack and counterattack hard enough to leave him at such a disadvantage was no simple feat. At the very least, most early-stage human Gods could not accomplish it.

A monster that had just entered the Lord level possessed strength close to that of a mid-stage human God. If this Wyvern was a beginner Lord-level Monster, then its strength was at least comparable to a peak Beginner God.

Although Xu Feng's strength had reached the early stage of the God level and was close to that of an Intermediate War God, he had not yet fully mastered his strength. Compared to an Intermediate War God, he was still a level below.

Xu Feng once again controlled his throwing knives at full force to attack the Wyvern.

The cold glint in the Wyvern's eyes intensified, but it had sensed the threat of Xu Feng's strike and had no choice but to release his hand. It then swept out with a kick toward Xu Feng's head.

Bang~!

Xu Feng blocked the Wyvern's kick with his left hand, but the Wyvern's strength far surpassed his current strength. The powerful impact sent Xu Feng flying backward.

What made Wyverns terrifying was that they possessed unbelievable speed alongside endless strength. Combined with their fearsome, powerful bodies, they were practically without flaws.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The violent sounds of Xu Feng and the Wyvern's bodies colliding echoed through the surroundings. Such pure clashes of attacks made one's blood boil.

Compared to human Gods, monsters possessed an innate absolute advantage. Human bodies, even those of human Lord-level experts, were simply too frail in the eyes of monsters. For humans to fight monsters in close combat was nearly an act of courting death, a matter of nine deaths and one chance at survival.

Xu Feng felt helpless as well. Facing the Wyvern's attacks, he did not dare let down his guard. He dodged whenever he could, and whenever he could not, he tried to divert some of the force. Yet no matter how hard he racked his brain, he still ended up covered in wounds.

Bang~!

The Wyvern suddenly appeared beside Xu Feng and directly kicked at him. Xu Feng instinctively dodged to one side, but he was still sent flying by the immense force.

As expected of one of the few Lord-level Monsters capable of contending with dragons, the Wyvern had made Xu Feng recognize its terror through this battle alone!

It possessed endless strength, unbelievable speed, and a powerful body. It had almost no weaknesses.

"Wyvern, you forced my hand. Today, I'm going to slaughter you and roast you!" Xu Feng finally lost his patience. Escaping would be extremely difficult, and he did not want to leave like this either, so he snarled.

Hearing Xu Feng's words, the Wyvern paused and looked at him with utter disdain. Although it had not killed Xu Feng in their earlier battle, Xu Feng had been at an absolute disadvantage from beginning to end. To put it bluntly, he had been completely unable to fight back and could only take a beating.

Xu Feng gave up controlling the throwing knives and concentrated all his Mental Power into the saber in his hand. At the same time, he used the third level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade and slashed at the Wyvern!

Blue arcs of electricity crackled around the Blood Shadow Saber, causing the Wyvern's heart to tremble. The pressure from the depths of its soul directly overwhelmed it, sending it falling from the sky and crashing into the ground.

"As expected of the third level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade. With the enhancement of Mental Power, this strike has already reached the attack power of an Intermediate War God!"

Xu Feng exhausted all his physical strength and Mental Power, concentrating them on a single point at the saber's tip. Standing atop his shield, he slashed at the Wyvern's head.

He actually knocked it out of the sky, sending it crashing brutally into the ground.

Seeing the Wyvern smash a huge hole into the ground and not dare move at all, Xu Feng immediately harvested its valuable materials before leaving at once.

After all, that strike had exhausted all his strength, including his Mental Power.

If he encountered any other monsters now, he could only become monster feed.
