The Yian Kut-Ku's tail sweep attack is considered one of its deadly moves. This attack not only has a wide range but is also extremely fast, and it is always launched very suddenly, making it very difficult to dodge.

However, this doesn't mean it can't be dodged. While the tail sweep is powerful, its weaknesses are equally obvious. You just need to avoid the tail's attack range.

Having observed the Yian Kut-Ku's movements beforehand, Li Wei rolled downwards almost simultaneously with Yian Kut-Ku turn. The timing of this roll was precise; the Yian Kut-Ku's tail barely grazed Li Wei's scalp.

After Li Wei stood up, he held his sword in both hands and slashed fiercely at the tail of the Yian Kut-Ku.

The attack was aimed at the white mark that had been made earlier. This time, Li Wei put all his strength into it, even using some internal energy. The Heavenly Sword was, after all, a divine weapon. With a crack, the hard shell covering the Yian Kut-Ku's tail broke open, and the blade sliced through it, splattering blood as the severed tail flew off.

The Yian Kut-Ku let out a strange cry and collapsed in front of him, writhing on the ground in pain. Li Wei naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, and he stepped forward, unleashing a flurry of sword strikes at the Yian Kut-Ku.

Clang, clang, sparks flying. Although most of the attacks were blocked by the hard shell, Li Wei still managed to leave several deep wounds on the Yian Kut-Ku.

The Yian Kut-Ku was completely enraged and swung its claws fiercely, but Li Wei, who was prepared, flipped backward and calmly dodged the sneak attack.

In just over ten seconds, the enormous, seemingly invincible Yian Kut-Ku, which appeared flawless to the reincarnators, was knocked to the ground by Li Wei. He even severed its tail.

Bao Ling and the others watching from the sidelines stared wide-eyed and remained silent, clearly still reeling from the shock.

Finally, Sharp Axe said in a slightly hesitant voice, "That's amazing! Is his strength greater than mine? Otherwise, how could he have cut off the Yian Kut-Ku's tail with a single sword strike?"

"No, he's not as strong as you," said Bao Ling. As a B3-level expert, her insight was far beyond that of ordinary people. "He's just maximizing the output of his limited strength. Whether dodging or attacking, there are absolutely no unnecessary movements. It seems that he had already calculated the trajectory of the Yian Kut-Ku. Perhaps... just as he said, these monsters know martial arts, and he is a master who has broken through their moves."

Everyone suddenly realized, and upon closer inspection, it was indeed true. Any one of them, as long as they knew how to dodge, could engage the Yian Kut-Ku in close combat, and could even severely injure their opponent like Li Wei.

However, there was one thing Bao Ling didn't say: even if you figure out the Yian Kut-Ku's attack trajectory, it's definitely not something an ordinary person can do to completely dodge it.

Who exactly is this Li Wei?

What is his combat strength?

The Yian Kut-Ku, now standing upright, angrily thrashed its claws a few times, spewing a ball of burning fire from its mouth and hurling it directly at Li Wei.

"The fireball attack can be dodged by simply moving," Li Wei thought to himself as he quickly ran to the side of the Yian Kut-Ku.

'Boom, boom, boom'

With three consecutive blasts, the fireballs missed their mark, and the Yian Kut-Ku charged at Li Wei again. This time, however, its speed was significantly faster.

"Is it almost over?" This time, Li Wei didn't dodge. He charged directly at the Yian Kut-Ku, but slid his sword downwards and gripped it in a reverse hand.

"What is he going to do?" Lin Sheng swallowed and asked.

Of course, no one can answer that question.

Looking at Li Wei again, just as he was about to collide with the Yian Kut-Ku, he suddenly lunged forward, maneuvering his body in mid-air to turn to the side, and actually passed directly through the gap between the Yian Kut-Ku's wings and hind claws.

Pfft

A bloody gash appeared on the Yian Kut-Ku's abdomen, extending at least a meter. This was the wound Li Wei created using the impact of the two forces with the Heavenly Sword.

This time, the Yian Kut-Ku could no longer stand up.

A large amount of blood gushed from its abdomen. This monster, which had killed at least several reincarnators, convulsed a few times before falling silent.

Li Wei got up from the ground and twisted his neck.

The Heavenly Sword in his hand was even chipped, which was simply outrageous. You have to understand, this is a purple-quality weapon. In Jin Yong World, a weapon of this level would be considered a divine weapon, but in this mission world, after just one battle, it has suffered such damage.

So, what about the weapons that the reincarnators use that are inferior to purple quality?

After reflecting on it, Li Wei felt relieved.

Sharp Axe's iron axe had already been completely destroyed when he fought the Velociprey, and he had now worn out more than three axes.

As for the weapons in the hands of the other reincarnators, they were all damaged beyond recognition; some of the swords and knives were practically indistinguishable from Iron Skin.

It seems that finding Hunter Village and crafting specific hunting weapons is now of paramount importance.

Just as Li Wei was about to walk over to the Yian Kut-Ku's corpse to harvest materials, Lin Sheng beat him to it, went over, and started harvesting the Yian Kut-Ku.

Seeing this, Li Wei finally revealed a hint of murderous intent.

"Lin Sheng, what are you doing?" Bao Ling was furious. She walked over angrily and said loudly.

Lin Sheng snorted, "What am I doing? Of course, I'm harvesting materials. Captain, I remember you said that only you, Sharp Axe, and I can harvest all the materials along the way, right? So what's wrong with me harvesting the Yian Kut-Ku?"

This sharp retort left Bao Ling speechless.

That's right, she did say that, but back then, who would have thought that Li Wei was actually a hidden master? Now that the strange bird was killed by someone else, the right to reap the rewards naturally belongs to Li Wei. No one expected Lin Sheng to use this as an excuse to make a fuss.

"What? Captain, you're not going to side with this pretty boy again, are you? Does he think he can monopolize all the materials just because he's powerful? I bet you've fallen for him..."

After saying this, Bao Ling's face flushed red and then pale. Her high breasts heaved with anger, which was indescribably alluring.

There were clearly quite a few members of the Reincarnation Squad who supported Lin Sheng, and they were all speaking out in support, obviously coveting the materials from this Yian Kut-Ku.

In this mission world, even a fool knows that the materials from high-level monsters are the most valuable. If Li Wei were to harvest them all by himself, it would be a lie to say he wouldn't feel bad. So, since Lin Sheng is stepping forward, they are naturally happy to kick him while he's down.

"Lin Sheng, watch your tone. You're talking to our captain!" At this moment, even the usually taciturn Sharp Axe couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up.

Clearly, he was firmly on Bao Ling's side.

"Sharp Axe, shut up! I'm talking to Bao Ling, and you have no right to interrupt. My brother is a powerful figure in the real world. If it weren't for Bao Ling, do you think I would have joined such a trashy team? Hmph, what a joke!" At this point, Lin Sheng was no longer afraid of losing face.

"Gentlemen, following a captain like this is not as good as following me. After this mission, I will recommend you to my brother. He is very fond of talent, and you will all have a bright future."

Clearly, quite a few people knew Lin Sheng's background, which is why even more people stood behind him.

"You..." Bao Ling wished she could kill Lin Sheng on the spot, but she also knew that the other party's backing was indeed very powerful. If she really offended Lin Sheng's brother, it would be troublesome.

Seeing that he had basically stabilized the situation, Lin Sheng let out a loud laugh and then bent down to collect the corpse of the Yian Kut-Ku.

This time, the reason he broke off all pretense of civility was also because of this Yian Kut-Ku.

The value of materials from this BOSS-level monster was absolutely worth it. Besides, only by pushing Bao Ling to the brink could he coerce her into submission. At this moment, Lin Sheng was too lazy to play games; since this woman was being unreasonable, he would simply use force.

But clearly, he forgot one person.

"Who said you could harvest my Yian Kut-Ku?" a voice rang out.

Holding the Heavenly Sword, Li Wei walked step by step toward the Yian Kut-Ku.

"Hmph, you're just a weak card master. Now that you've lost your cards, you're nothing. But what you said about the monsters knowing martial arts is true. You must have been able to kill the Yian Kut-Ku because you saw through its attack trajectory, right? Haha, too bad, we're not the Yian Kut-Ku. Your good luck ends here." Seeing Li Wei walk over, Lin Sheng revealed a sinister smile.

He winked at the few reincarnators beside him, and after a slight hesitation, they stepped forward with their weapons.

They were also quite apprehensive. Perhaps, as Lin Sheng said, this Li Wei was just a guy who was all bark and no bite. After all, when he fought the Yian Kut-Ku just now, his speed and strength were not outstanding. It really seemed like he had anticipated the Yian Kut-Ku's attack in order to barely dodge it.

As for his ability to kill the Yian Kut-Ku, it's very likely related to the weapon he was carrying.

These reincarnators were well aware of how tough the monsters' shells were. The weapons they wielded were also rare and exceptional, but at this moment, all the blades and edges of their swords were broken, making them no more than broken iron rods.

However, the longsword in Li Wei's hand not only cut off the Yian Kut-Ku's tail but also slashed a long wound on its abdomen, and the sword itself didn't seem to be badly damaged. Therefore, all the credit for Li Wei's ability to kill the Yian Kut-Ku should go to this weapon.

If we just kill Li Wei, wouldn't we be able to get our hands on that sword?

This was the plan of several reincarnators, but they soon realized how wrong they were.
