Cross-tier Killing Seemed Pretty Easy Too

This time, the Beast Spider truly had not expected its opponent's strength to be so terrifying.

After all, it was not a high-tier magical beast with sufficient intelligence. It was only Tier 2; when it came to scheming, it certainly could not compare to humans.

A surging force struck its abdomen. The terrifying power even caused sonic booms in the air, while a clear dent appeared in the Tier 2 Beast Spider's abdomen beneath that punch.

That punch carried immense force—far more than a thousand jin. Though it had failed to break through the armor, it still sent the Beast Spider flying!

After rolling twice across the ground, the Beast Spider climbed back up.

Although it had taken the punch head-on, its tough shell meant Gu Fengchen's attack had not achieved much.

The Beast Spider's sharp limbs and dense bristles allowed it to move without a sound.

However, its enormous body still made it easy for Gu Fengchen to judge its position.

But Gu Fengchen knew that the Beast Spider before him had clearly entered a furious state. All eight of its black-jewel-like simple eyes were fixed on him!

Those eyes radiated an endless, icy stare of death!

There was an indescribable chill in those eyes, and Gu Fengchen's spine grew slightly cold.

The Beast Spider let out a hiss and rapidly closed in on Gu Fengchen.

Gu Fengchen took a deep breath and drew the longsword from his back. At the same time, he inhaled deeply again and wholeheartedly mobilized the Dou Qi within his body!

It was time to fight for his life.

Three Thousand Burning Flame Body, First Layer—Activate!

Gu Fengchen's eyes abruptly became deep and ethereal, exuding a mysterious and lofty aura, as though a river of stars lay hidden within them.

When the Beast Spider met those eyes, its body instinctively trembled.

It did not know why.

Veins bulged across Gu Fengchen's face!

Streams of violent star power spilled out from him as their center!

Golden patterns also emerged across his body.

After the Indestructible Golden Body combined with the Three Thousand Burning Flame Body, Gu Fengchen's physical abilities would rise to their peak in an instant.

At that moment, the Beast Spider had already reached Gu Fengchen. Its incomparably hard forelimb viciously stabbed down at him.

Gu Fengchen's arms were like gold and stone as they collided head-on with the Beast Spider's forelimb.

The next moment, a pained cry came from the Beast Spider's mouth.

After colliding with Gu Fengchen's rock-hard arms, the Beast Spider was shocked to discover that his arms were actually even harder than its forelimbs.

Its forelimbs might have been tough, but that did not mean they could not feel pain. On the contrary, the nerves there were even more sensitive, making the pain all the more intense.

Gu Fengchen seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and fiercely swung the iron sword in his hand.

The iron sword, infused with tremendous strength, slashed directly into the Beast Spider's right forelimb.

This time, its hard shell failed to protect its leg. Under Gu Fengchen's astonishing strength, the iron sword forcibly sliced through the hard exoskeleton, and black blood even flowed from the gash.

Standing so close, Gu Fengchen could clearly smell the scent wafting from the Beast Spider—like something rotting...

The Beast Spider let out a violent, hissing cry from the pain. Gu Fengchen would not let such an opportunity pass. "Break for me!!!"

Gu Fengchen drew back the iron sword, then viciously slashed at the Beast Spider's left forelimb. This time, his blade struck squarely at the joint connecting its forelimb. With a crack, that massive limb was forcibly cleaved off by Gu Fengchen like a broken branch!

With one forelimb severed and the other injured, the Beast Spider's huge body visibly sank. Its remaining six legs could barely support its weight.

Gu Fengchen hesitated no longer and threw a punch with his right fist!

This punch contained all of his strength, as well as the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame within his body!

Blazing flames covered Gu Fengchen's fist, drawing in the surrounding energy.

The punch was incomparably powerful, yet it made not the slightest sound of wind. It was an extremely strange sight.

This was the ultimate manifestation of condensing all his fist force into an area no larger than an inch.

All his strength was focused at one point. Combined with the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, this was the strongest attack Gu Fengchen could currently unleash!

Amid a thunderous boom, Gu Fengchen's fist slammed fiercely into the Beast Spider's abdomen.

The terrifying heat instantly melted the Beast Spider's hard shell. The shell twisted under the immense force, shattered, and burst into flying fragments, as fragile as glass.

With a huge muffled bang, the Tier 2 Beast Spider's exoskeleton cracked apart and exploded into pieces. Green blood and strange fluids splattered in every direction as wild force spread through its body, causing its exoskeleton to shatter inch by inch.

After breaking through the armor, Gu Fengchen's fist lost none of its momentum and drove viciously into the muscles beneath the shell, like a hot knife through butter.

Fear, pain, and despair finally appeared in the Beast Spider's eight simple eyes.

Flesh spilled out, and organs slid free.

At that moment, Gu Fengchen was thoroughly drenched in its blood, flesh, and organs. His clothes were also covered in mud, making him look utterly disheveled.

Yet Gu Fengchen felt exceptionally refreshed.

Only he himself knew that after throwing that punch, he had felt the blood and energy throughout his body flow like mercury, while molten-lava-hot strength coursed smoothly through his veins and meridians. He had finally experienced the power that only a Dou Shi could possess!

Gu Fengchen withdrew his fist, but the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, carrying explosive destructive power, erupted within the Beast Spider's body.

After a dull sound, something resembling the fragrance of roasted meat drifted out from the Beast Spider's body.

"Boom!"

As if the heavens and earth were collapsing, the massive Beast Spider struggled twice before slowly falling over. Fortunately, it did not fall toward Gu Fengchen. Otherwise, Gu Fengchen, who had just claimed his first kill, might have been crushed to death by his own spoils of war.

"D-Dead?" Xiao Yi Xian stared blankly at the scene from a distance. In the past, even a powerful mercenary group's first choice upon encountering a Tier 2 Beast Spider would definitely have been to flee. No one had ever been able to hunt a Tier 2 Beast Spider.

"It's dead. It's fine now." Gu Fengchen waved his hand. Although this battle had consumed quite a bit of his energy, it had been fairly easy overall.

This was Gu Fengchen's first time experiencing the sheer dominance of the Indestructible Golden Body and the Three Thousand Burning Flame Body.

He was only a One Star Dou Shi, while that Beast Spider was at the Tier 2 Peak. Considering a magical beast's naturally tough hide and thick flesh, its combat power was likely at the Quasi Great Dou Master level.

Defeating a Quasi Great Dou Master as a One Star Dou Shi already counted as Cross-tier Killing.

"Cross-tier Killing seems pretty easy too?" Gu Fengchen raised an eyebrow.

However, at that moment, Gu Fengchen saw Xiao Yi Xian using a small knife to slice the tender white spider meat.

Gu Fengchen asked in surprise, "What are you doing, Sister Xiao Yi Xian?"

"This spider meat is excellent nourishment. If its legs weren't so large, I'd want to cut them off, dry them, and preserve them too."

Gu Fengchen sighed. It seemed that to people like Xiao Yi Xian, many things could become food. Spider meat was actually considered quite a rare delicacy.

At that moment, Gu Fengchen saw Xiao Yi Xian use a small knife to cut open the Beast Spider's head. A green Magic Core appeared in his field of vision.
