"A fight without reservation!"
After the fierce battle, Fang Han felt exhausted like a tide. Internal Qi was more than half consumed, and his arms were a little sore and numb from the many hard knocks with Shadow Leopard.
But his spirit was extremely high. This was not only a life and death fight, but also a comprehensive test of his current strength.
Fourth Grade Internal Qi cultivation in the mid-term provides a strong foundation and lasting combat power.
Greater Accomplishment<Void-Sundering Nine Swords> gave him invincible offensive power.
Proficiency Realm<Windcloud Escape> gave him terrifying speed and agility that was unparalleled at the same level.
And <Spirit Sniffing Art>, which has just been upgraded to Greater Accomplishment, provides great help in tracking and perception.
It was the combination of these abilities that allowed him to single-handedly kill the ferocious Shadow Leopard, which had defeated all five demon hunters and whose strength was close to that of Upper Third Grade.
"What a powerful body."
Fang Han squatted down and carefully inspected Shadow Leopard's body.
If the attack power represented by each sword wound on the corpse were placed on a human warrior of the same level, even if he did not die, he would be severely injured.
But Shadow Leopard was only slightly injured, which shows how strong his defense is.
He stretched out his hand to touch the Shadow Leopard's now-lost but still extremely tough fur, feeling the steel-like muscles and bones beneath it, and his anticipation for <Black Tortoise True Art> became even more intense.
If <Black Tortoise True Art> is trained to Beginner stage, it will have defense and physical strength comparable to or even surpassing Shadow Leopard.
Coupled with Sword Technique and Body Movement, his strength will skyrocket.
"I wonder how much it weighs?"
Fang Han leans over and clasps the shoulder blades and rear hips of Shadow Leopard's forelimbs with both hands.
Suddenly my hand felt heavy. The weight was far greater than that of an ordinary ox or horse, probably weighing no less than three thousand kilograms.
However, for him who is now a mid-term Fourth Grade warrior, this weight is naturally nothing.
He took a deep breath, his waist and horse became one, his arm muscles tensed, and his body under the green robe seemed to contain the power of a mountain.
"Get up!"
With a low voice, he lifted the huge beast body of more than 3,000 kilograms onto his shoulders steadily.
The fur at the beginning was as tough as iron, the bones and flesh were solid, and the smell of blood mixed with a fishy smell unique to beasts hit your face.
The solid rock and soil underfoot sank slightly due to the sudden gravity, leaving two shallow pits.
Carrying such a huge object, even with Fang Han's current cultivation and physique, he still felt a little pressure.
He adjusted his posture to make his center of gravity more stable, and then took steps.
<Windcloud Escape>'s Body Movement essence was not used for running at this moment, but was transformed into his gait, making every step he took calm and powerful.
Take the weight off your shoulders while ensuring that the speed of travel is not too slow.
The figure shuttled through the messy woodland, heading towards Black Cloud Ridge layman.
More than an hour later, the gray outline of the city wall of Liangshui City appeared at the end of the field of vision.
It was evening, and the winter sunshine lazily shone on the city with a little warmth.
At this time in previous years, the city gate would have been extremely busy with people coming and going, picnicking, and offering incense.
However, this year, there were almost no people at the city gate, and the few people I saw occasionally were in a hurry.
The reason is naturally because of the monster that has been causing trouble outside the city in the past month, and even the monster hunting team from Prefecture City failed and returned.
Fang Han The figure carrying the huge beast corpse gradually became clearer from far to near in this atmosphere.
At first, the soldiers watching on the city wall only noticed a moving "black spot".
As the black spots gradually approached and their outlines appeared, the soldiers' eyes gradually widened, and they clenched the spears in their hands unconsciously. Their mouths were slightly opened, but no sound came out.
Immediately afterwards, pedestrians near the city gate also saw it.
A salesman passing by the city gate dropped the pole in his hand to the ground, and the mountain goods in the basket rolled to the ground.
But he didn't realize it and just stared blankly at the figure that was gradually approaching.
A woman carrying a basket was discussing the recent rumors of monsters in a low voice with her companions. Her voice suddenly stopped and her fingers pointed tremblingly outside the city.
An old man squatting in the corner to bask in the sun suddenly opened his squinted eyes, the outline of the huge thing was reflected in his cloudy eyes, and the dry tobacco pole in his hand fell to his feet.
Silence spread quickly from the city gate like ripples.
Everyone stopped, and the sounds of conversation, hawking, and wheels mysteriously disappeared at this moment.
Countless eyes were focused on the green-robed young man... and the beast corpse on his shoulder, which could be felt even from a distance, and its ferocity and weight could be felt.
What is that?
Leopard? But how can there be such a huge leopard in the world?
The dark, almost black, faintly reflective fur, even though it was stained with blood and dust, still exuded a heart-stopping and ferocious aura, very similar to the ferocious beast described in the rumors.
"Is... is that thing?!"
Someone's voice was dry and trembling in disbelief.
"It's Master Fang, Master Fang Han, he killed that scourge...?"
Someone recognized Fang Han.
"And I even carried it back. Oh my god, it's so big..."
"Prefecture City The demon hunting team was helpless, but they were actually killed by Master Fang Han!"
The low voices of discussion were suppressed at first, and then erupted like a flood.
Shock, shock, surprise, disbelief... all kinds of emotions agitated the crowd.
The haze that has shrouded the sky over Liangshui City for the past few days, making people feel heavy and afraid to leave the city, seemed to be torn open by the visual impact of this person and corpse, and then quickly dissipated.
Awe-inspiring eyes fell on Fang Han. The green robe stained with a little dust and blood seemed to be shining with a different kind of light in everyone's eyes at this moment.
Worry turned into joy, fear turned into worship.
The news seemed to have wings, with the city gate as the center, spreading crazily to every corner of the city.
"Shadow Leopard is dead! He was single-handedly slaughtered by Master Fang Han!"
"I saw it with my own eyes. It's so big, like a hill!"
Exclamations and admirations intertwined and quickly gathered into an uncontrollable torrent.
On both sides of the street, windows were pushed open and door panels were pulled open.
More people poured onto the streets, standing on tiptoes and stretching their necks, just to take a look at the corpse of the legendary beast and the young man who beheaded it.
Fang Han carried the corpse of the monster beast, passed the excited crowd, and headed towards the city Fang Mansion.
Fang Clan's fast-footed clerk or someone he was close to quickly passed the news back to the Fang Mansion.
Fang Mansion.
Fang Lingyuan was discussing some clan affairs after the New Year with several clan elders. Although his face remained calm, there was always a hint of lingering worry between his brows.
Fang Han is going to hunt Shadow Leopard. I don't know if he can succeed or if he will encounter danger.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid and messy footsteps approached from far away, accompanied by irrepressible excited shouts, breaking the tranquility of the study.
"Clan Head, good news, great news!"
A steward almost staggered into the yard, without caring about etiquette, and shouted through the door, his voice changing the tone due to excitement.
"Master Han has returned carrying the body of a monster beast and is on his way now!"
"Fang Han is back carrying the body of Shadow Leopard...?!"
In the study room, Fang Lingyuan suddenly stood up.
Several clan elders were so shocked that they stood up and looked at each other. They all saw the extreme shock and subsequent surprise in each other's eyes.
"Did you see clearly? Is it really that Shadow Leopard? Is that Shadow Leopard really killed?"
A clan elder asked in a trembling voice.
"It's absolutely true! Many people have seen it. The monster is so big and scary. It's Shadow Leopard. That's right! Master Han is carrying it to the mansion!"
The steward was talking incoherently, and his face was flushed with excitement.
Fang Lingyuan took a deep breath and suppressed the turbulent emotions in his chest, but the slightly trembling fingers revealed the agitation in his heart.
He strode out of the study and came to the courtyard.
Several clan elders also quickly followed.
Not long after, an even louder voice came from outside the house.
Fang Lingyuan led people to welcome him out of the house, and saw the familiar figure in green robes walking steadily towards the end of the long street.
The huge object on the shoulders brought a heavy visual pressure even from a distance.
When Fang Han walked to the door of the mansion and gently put down the body of Shadow Leopard on his shoulders, the ground seemed to tremble slightly.
Seeing this ferocious beast up close, even though it was dead, the remaining violent aura and huge size still made the onlookers Lineage and everyone who came to watch after hearing the news take a breath, and then they burst into even more enthusiastic cheers and admiration.
"It's really Shadow Leopard that's causing trouble!"
"Master Han is mighty!"
Fang Lingyuan's eyes quickly swept over Shadow Leopard's body, and then immediately fell on Fang Han.
The green robe was stained with dust, and there were signs of tears on the cuffs. His face showed a hint of exhaustion after a fierce battle, but his eyes were still clear and calm, and there was no serious problem.
The hanging heart fell back.
He walked forward and patted Fang Han heavily on the shoulder, saying nothing.
In addition to the joy in his eyes, there was also an indescribable pride.
The surrounding Fang family members, young and old, looked at Fang Han with sincere awe and pride.
Prefecture City Demon-Quelling Bureau This ferocious creature, which all the elite came out defeated, was killed by his own prodigy all by himself!
This strength is enough to make all Fang Clan people proud.
Liangshui City government office, backyard wing.
This place has been temporarily converted into a residence for the wounded, and the smell of medicine is strong. All five members of the demon hunting team are recuperating here, and the atmosphere is dull.
Tie Zhan was leaning on the head of the bed, his chest was wrapped with a thick bandage, his face was a little pale due to blood loss, he was closing his eyes and adjusting his breathing, trying to relieve the dull pain in his internal organs.
Qing Man's arms were hanging, and there was a shallow claw mark on his face.
Shi Feng was seriously injured, lying on the bed unable to move and letting out suppressed moans from time to time.
Yan Ling sat in the corner, silently wiping his swords, his eyes a little distracted.
Ye Xiao is still unconscious and his breath is weak.
The shadow of failure hangs over everyone.
As a demon hunter of the Demon-Quelling Bureau, it is a great shame that the demon hunter failed and was seriously injured.
What worries them even more is that the enraged Shadow Leopard may come out for revenge at any time, and many people in the surrounding villages and towns of Liangshui City will surely die.
But they were unable to fight anymore at this moment.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the wing, and a policeman quickly entered the wing and said.
"Five adults, news has just arrived that Shadow Leopard has been killed by the Azure Profound Sect Tianjiao True Disciple Fang Han."
