Return to Green Dragon Mountain! Instantly Slaying the Cat Demons!

"Wind Chasing Steps!"

"Gale Six Slashes—Six Slashes as One: Storm Rend!"

Su Xian drew near, secretly circulating the qi and blood within him before stepping out with Wind Chasing Steps!

His whole body seemed to ride upon the wind and clouds! In an instant, he arrived before the Second Grade Perfection Cat Demon!

Borrowing that extreme speed!

Su Xian wielded the Mountain-splitting Saber and unleashed the strongest move of Gale Six Slashes—Storm Rend, six slashes as one!

In an instant, the blade's edge pointed straight at the Cat Demon's neck!

"Meow!"

The Cat Demon instinctively sensed danger, and all the fur over its body stood on end!

It could not help letting out a cat's cry as its body instantly darted forward, trying to evade this sudden fatal blow.

But unfortunately, it was already too late!

Perfect-level Third Grade Wind Chasing Steps and perfect-level Third Grade Gale Six Slashes!

They were simply not something a Second Grade Perfection Cat Demon could evade!

What was more, Su Xian had struck without warning and acted in an instant, making it even harder to react!

With one slash, Su Xian severed the Second Grade Perfection Cat Demon's head. Its head flew far away, while its body crashed to the ground, blood-colored flames igniting its fur!

As the blade wind swept past, the flames burned even fiercer!

"Mother!"

Only after Su Xian had chopped off their mother's head did the two Cat Demons at the side react, crying out in alarm!

Su Xian had been far too fast!

He had burst forth and killed in an instant, giving the three demons no time at all to react!

"Second Brother, run! I'll hold him back! Find Father and Eldest Brother—tell them not to come!"

"Break through in the future, then avenge me!"

The Cat Demon beside him reacted at once!

The youngest of the Cat Demons lunged straight at Su Xian while shouting to his second brother.

Upon hearing this, Second Brother's cat face showed an expression of deep conflict, but in an instant, he understood. His younger brother wanted to use his life to protect their family!

That man's speed had been so fast just now, his moves so fierce!

If he killed both of them here, then when their father and eldest brother returned, they too would be walking a road to death!

It would be better for one of them to escape, notify Eldest Brother and Father, and have them all flee far away, then avenge them once they had the strength in the future!

"Third Brother! I will definitely avenge you!"

The other Cat Demon let out a roar, then fled to the side at top speed, darting and weaving through the forest!

"You want to hold me back? It won't be that easy!"

Su Xian's expression remained calm. Watching the brotherly bond between the Cat Demons, his heart was not stirred in the slightest.

Gale Six Slashes struck out!

In an instant, he killed the charging Cat Demon, chopping it into several pieces.

All of this happened in the span of a spark and a flash. Su Xian had killed two Cat Demons in mere seconds.

After killing the Cat Demon that had tried to delay him, Su Xian did not hesitate. Nine Revolutions Spirit Fox rapidly began to circulate, and his figure darted and weaved through the dense forest, catching up to the fleeing Cat Demon in only a few seconds!

"Die!"

Su Xian shouted coldly. The next moment, blade light flashed, and the Cat Demon's corpse fell from the air, smashing heavily into the dirt!

Looking at the Cat Demon's corpse on the ground, Su Xian remained expressionless. He grabbed it by the leg and dragged the body back outside the cave.

In less than a minute, Su Xian had killed all three Cat Demons, including one at Second Grade Perfection!

And only a few days had passed since Su Xian had been captured by that juvenile Cat Demon.

"Two Cat Demons remain!" Su Xian said coldly as he looked at the four Cat Demon corpses before him.

He had killed these Cat Demons with great ease for three reasons.

First, his cultivation had already reached the early Tendon Refining Realm, while his physical strength had reached the middle Tendon Refining Realm.

Second, he had caught them off guard with a sneak attack! And his first target had been the Cat Demon with the highest cultivation.

Third was his martial talent: perfected Nine Revolutions Spirit Fox! Perfected Cloud Chasing Steps! Perfected Gale Blade Art!

It allowed him to move freely through this dense forest, to cross the distance between himself and the Cat Demon in an instant, and kill it with a single slash!

Su Xian flicked the blood from his blade, then checked his gains.

[Ding! You have slain a First Grade Early Stage Cat Demon and gained 132 years of Remaining Lifespan.]

[Ding! You have slain a First Grade Early Stage Cat Demon and gained 135 years of Remaining Lifespan.]

[Ding! You have slain a Second Grade Perfection Cat Demon and gained 112 years of Remaining Lifespan.]

Looking at the gains from this trip, Su Xian frowned.

Why had that Second Grade Perfection Cat Demon provided only 112 years of lifespan? It was even less than the two First Grade Early Stage Cat Demons.

But Su Xian soon let it go. It was not much less, anyway.

"379 years of lifespan! I wonder, once I kill those two Cat Demons, just what level my cultivation will reach with the lifespan I gain?" Su Xian thought to himself.

"Never mind. Time for another round of improvement!"

With a thought from Su Xian, he had now gained 379 years of lifespan. Naturally, it was time to improve himself again!

As Su Xian poured in the lifespan he had just gained—

[You begin cultivating the Dragon Tiger Flesh-Cutting Tendon-Refining Secret Canon!]

[Year 8: Because you have cultivated the Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt to Minor Success, your physical strength had long since met the requirements. Over these eight years, you continuously accumulated qi and blood, ultimately breaking through to the Tendon Refining Realm Mid Stage with ease!]

Seeing this, Su Xian hurriedly stopped, momentarily stunned.

What did it mean, his physical strength had already met the requirements, and he only needed to accumulate qi and blood to easily break through to the Tendon Refining Realm Mid Stage?

Staring at this record, the corners of Su Xian's mouth rose wildly!

So as long as he first raised his physical strength, breaking through in cultivation would become incredibly easy!

"Then if I cultivate the Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt to perfection first, will I be able to break through to Tendon Refining Realm Perfection with ease?"

"I just don't know how great the difference in lifespan consumption between the two will be!"

Su Xian could not help feeling expectant.

After all, with his talent, simply raising his cultivation would cost him several decades of lifespan just to break through a minor bottleneck!

Cultivating the Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt, meanwhile, required the slow grinding of time. It did not require talent, but it also consumed a great deal of lifespan.

Su Xian was not quite sure whether raising his physical strength first before improving his cultivation, or improving his cultivation first before raising his physical strength, would consume more lifespan.

The Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt was a Third Grade martial skill.

Once cultivated to perfection, the physical strength it granted would be somewhat stronger than that of an ordinary Tendon Refining Realm Perfection martial artist, yet it still would not meet the requirements of the later Bone Tempering Realm.

After turning it over and over in his mind, Su Xian still decided to improve the Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt first, then raise his cultivation!

His talent in cultivation was truly dreadful. If he really got stuck at a minor bottleneck for fifty or sixty years, that would be the true waste!

The Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt merely required the slow grinding of time; its bottlenecks were not all that great!

Besides, given Su Xian's cultivation talent, even without a bottleneck, he would still need to cultivate for quite some time before reaching the Tendon Refining Realm Mid Stage bottleneck.

All things considered, cultivating the Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt first seemed more worthwhile.

The next instant, Su Xian poured Demon Lifespan into the Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt.
