Slaying
Deep in the forest, beneath a sheer cliff, a tremendous roar erupted. Two colossal beasts were locked in battle.
If one were to look closer, one would discover that besides the two colossal beasts, two humans were also involved in the battle. However, these two humans appeared extremely small compared to the two giant beasts.
The battle taking place on site was between Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and the Snow Demon Sky Ape against the Iron Blood Violent Bear King.
At this moment, the Snow Demon Sky Ape swung its enormous fist and rushed towards the Iron Blood Violent Bear King.
Facing the Snow Demon Sky Ape 'Snow Demon Sky Ape smashing attack, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King raised an arm to block it.
Because Lin Ming was controlling the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire, ready to launch a sneak attack on the Iron Blood Violent Bear King's injured abdomen at any moment, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King could only use one arm to defend itself, while using the other arm to cover its own abdominal wound, preventing Lin Ming from having a chance to launch a sneak attack with flames.
At this moment, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King was covered in wounds. Although these wounds had not penetrated into his body, the injured areas were no longer covered by fur.
So while the Iron Blood Violent Bear King was blocking the Snow Demon Sky Ape's attack, Lin Ming manipulated flames to attack the Iron Blood Violent Bear King's other wounds.
"Roar~!"
The Iron Blood Violent Bear King roared in pain as Lin Ming controlled the flames to scorch his injured flesh.
"Bang!" The burning pain enraged the Iron Blood Violent Bear King even more, so much so that it suddenly exerted force with its arm that was blocking the Snow Demon Sky Ape Iron Blood Violent Bear King, sending the Snow Demon Sky Ape flying and crashing into the mountain wall with a loud thud.
After smashing the Snow Demon Sky Ape away, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King's other side was left defenseless. With such a good opportunity, Zi Yan transformed into a purple light and attacked the Iron Blood Violent Bear King.
"Boom!"
The Iron Blood Violent Bear King was struck by Zi Yan and flew backward, crashing into the mountain wall.
"Snow Demon, how are you?" Lin Ming lowered his body and asked Snow Demon Sky Ape.
"I'm fine, but the time for the Berserk Bloodline Power is almost up," the Snow Demon Sky Ape replied to Lin Ming as he got up.
Looking at the blazing sun directly overhead, the battle had been going on for almost two hours. Lin Ming had only been assisting in the fight, and he had already exhausted a considerable amount of his Dou Qi. Therefore, it was normal that the Snow Demon Sky Ape's Bloodline Power was about to run out of time.
"In that case, let's end the battle quickly!" The Iron Blood Violent Bear King was already at its limit after fighting for so long, so after Lin Ming finished speaking to the Snow Demon Sky Ape, he flapped his Purple Crystal Wings and his figure was pulled into the sky.
Seeing the scene below where the battle had resumed, Lin Ming stretched out his right hand, and the Star Dragon Saber appeared in his hand.
Looking up at the blazing sun overhead, Lin Ming smiled.
"Click-clack!"
With a twist of his neck, and two cracking sounds, Lin Ming gripped the Star Dragon Saber tightly with both hands and raised it above his head.
Lin Ming activated the operating method of the Blazing Sun Heavenly Saber. The Dou Qi in Lin Ming's dantian was rapidly flowing through the meridians of the Blazing Sun Heavenly Saber, and finally gathered into the Star Dragon Saber.
As Dou Qi gathered within the Star Dragon Saber, a point of red light appeared at the tip of the Star Dragon Saber.
After this red light appeared, it seemed to have an attractive force, drawing all the fire-attribute energy in the world towards it.
Under the blazing sun, Lin Ming flew high in the sky, the Star Dragon Saber held aloft above his head. At this moment, a fireball, as bright as the sun, emanated from the tip of the Star Dragon Saber.
If someone were to observe this fireball at this moment, they would be surprised to find that it is absorbing the energy of the blazing sun in the sky.
As it absorbed the energy of the blazing sun, the energy within this fireball became increasingly terrifying, and the space around it began to distort.
The high temperature emanating from the energy cluster gathered at the Star Dragon Saber was almost unbearable for Lin Ming, who was using his Dou Technique.
If he continued to absorb energy, Lin Ming felt that he would be burned first by this energy. So at this moment, Lin Ming flapped his Purple Crystal Wings and flew downwards.
"Zi Yan, spread out." Lin Ming said as they approached the ground.
Upon hearing Lin Ming's words, Zi Yan and the Snow Demon Sky Ape both left the battlefield and headed back.
The energy emanating from the sword Lin Ming was holding above his head, resembling a miniature blazing sun, terrified them. Therefore, even without Lin Ming's warning, they planned to distance themselves from the Iron Blood Violent Bear King to avoid being affected.
"Human, this place is yours. I'll leave immediately," the Iron Blood Violent Bear King said to Lin Ming in human language.
Although it's incomprehensible how a human being, barely better than an ant, could unleash such terrifying energy fluctuations, the facts are undeniable.
Even the Iron Blood Violent Bear King felt fear towards this sphere of light, as bright as the sun, in the human's hand.
Such a terrifying energy fluctuation would leave this Iron Blood Violent Bear King severely injured, even if he survived. At that point, not only would he lose the Azure Blood Divine Marrow, but he would likely lose his very life.
For the sake of his own life, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King had no choice but to give up the Azure Blood Divine Marrow.
"Slash!"
With a furious roar, Lin Ming swung the Star Dragon Saber and slashed down at the Iron Blood Violent Bear King.
The fight has gone on for so long that both sides are fighting Blood Qi and nail and are almost exhausted. So it's impossible for one side to say they want to stop now.
The Blazing Sun Heavenly Saber Dou Technique has already been fully charged, so there's no reason to take it back.
Having abandoned his attack on the Iron Blood Violent Bear King, Lin Ming's remaining Dou Qi was insufficient to support him in unleashing the Blazing Sun Heavenly Saber once more.
If the Iron Blood Violent Bear King changes his mind, aside from everything else, the Snow Demon Sky Ape will likely lose its life under the Iron Blood Violent Bear King's claws.
The Snow Demon Sky Ape's Berserk Bloodline is almost over. When it falls into a weakened state, it won't be able to withstand a single claw from the Snow Demon Sky Ape -Iron Blood Violent Bear King.
Therefore, Lin Ming's decision to retreat, as suggested by the Iron Blood Violent Bear King, did not shake his resolve to unleash the Star Dragon Saber.
With a single slash, the blazing sun at the Star Dragon Saber departed from the blade and traveled along the Iron Blood Violent Bear King.
"Roar~!"
The Iron Blood Violent Bear King out a roar, and with this roar, its size suddenly increased by three-tenths, becoming even more enormous. The aura emanating from its body also surpassed anything it had ever done before.
Then, before the scorching sun arrived, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King raised his arms in front of him.
"Boom!"
The blazing sun finally set, exploding the moment it made contact with the Iron Blood Violent Bear King. With a deafening roar, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King was engulfed by energy.
Seeing the energy ball explode like a blazing sun, engulfing the Iron Blood Violent Bear King, the Snow Demon Sky Ape's mouth gaped open, stunned and terrified.
At this moment, the Snow Demon Sky Ape could only be thankful that Lin Ming hadn't used this move on him when he took his Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk.
If Lin Ming had used that move on me back then, I probably would have been a dead ape by now.
The energy surge from the blazing sun impacted everyone and everything present. When the impact subsided, a colossal creature, its body charred black, appeared in sight.
At this moment, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King's hemlock-like fur was completely gone, leaving it bald and charred. Furthermore, the bear arm it held in front of it to defend itself was no longer intact.
The Iron Blood Violent Bear King's blood-red paws had vanished, leaving his arms without any paws.
"This~King~!"
"Thump!"
With great effort, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King uttered the words "This King" before collapsing straight backward.
Looking at the slightly hunched chest of the Iron Blood Violent Bear King, Lin Ming knew that although the Iron Blood Violent Bear King was not dead yet, its current terrifying injuries meant that it was only barely clinging to life.
The power of the Blazing Sun Heavenly Saber this time even made Lin Ming somewhat alarmed.
The Iron Blood Violent Bear King was Tier 5 Magical Beast, yet it was severely injured by his Blazing Sun Slash and is now on the verge of death.
In fact, there are many reasons why Lin Ming's Blazing Sun Heavenly Saber was so powerful, leaving the Iron Blood Violent Bear King severely injured and near death.
Firstly, Lin Ming's current cultivation level has reached the Dou Ling stage. The Earth Tier Dou Technique used by Dou Ling are naturally much more powerful than those used by Dou Master.
Secondly, it is currently midday, and the Blazing Sun Heavenly Saber absorbs the sun's power at its strongest time of day, thus significantly increasing its power.
Thirdly, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King was already nearing its limit after such a long battle. Therefore, it was quite normal for it to be severely injured and close to death under the enhanced power of the Blazing Sun Heavenly Saber.
Flapping his Purple Crystal Wings, Lin Ming landed beside Zi Yan. Then, looking at the Snow Demon Sky Ape, Lin Ming said, "Snow Demon, go and avenge your grudge against the Iron Blood Violent Bear King! And give him a quick death while you're at it."
Upon hearing Lin Ming's words, the Snow Demon Sky Ape took a step forward and headed towards the Iron Blood Violent Bear King.
"Bang!"
A loud thud rang out, and the Iron Blood Violent Bear King's slightly prostrate chest came to a stop.
"Roar~!"
The Snow Demon Sky Ape roared, its roar carrying a mixture of pleasure and melancholy.
The Snow Demon Sky Ape 'Snow Demon Sky Ape aura rapidly diminished amidst its roars, and after a short while, its presence became indistinguishable from that of Magical Beasts that had just entered the Fifth Order.
Lin Ming exchanged a glance with Zi Yan, then stepped forward and approached the Iron Blood Violent Bear King. With a swift movement, Lin Ming plunged the Star Dragon Saber into the Iron Blood Violent Bear King's head.
A moment later, a fist-sized, dark brown Magic Core appeared in Lin Ming's hand.
A Tier 5 Magic Core has many uses, so Lin Ming certainly couldn't just throw it away.
In this world where strength reigns supreme and the strong prey on the weak, there is no need for mercy towards enemies.
If Lin Ming and his group fail this time, Lin Ming can say without any surprise that the Iron Blood Violent Bear King will devour them as food.
For Magical Beasts, devouring these martial artists also enhances their cultivation. Therefore, Lin Ming doesn't believe that the Iron Blood Violent Bear King would simply kill you and leave your corpse intact.
