Half-Finger Slays a Tier 3 Magical Beast, Blood Battle's Shock!

"Captain, what should we do?" Beside Fei Lei, captain of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group, Ka Gang asked with a grim expression.

Fei Lei's expression shifted for a moment. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Take everyone and retreat first. I'll go help Young Master Xiao."

"Captain, I'll stay with you."

"You're too weak. You won't be able to help if you stay, and you'll only hold me back." Fei Lei deliberately spoke harshly so that Ka Gang and the others would leave.

With that, Fei Lei gripped his Giant Sword and charged straight at the pack of magical beasts. Thick Dou Qi surged over the broad blade!

Bang!

Wielding the Giant Sword, Fei Lei viciously slashed at the claw of one of the Tier 2 Magical Beasts.

Both were forced back a step.

Xiao Lei naturally noticed Fei Lei's actions, and a measure of goodwill rose in him.

Though Xiao Lei did not need Fei Lei's help, the man's intentions were still commendable.

As this thought crossed his mind, Dou Qi surged wildly from Xiao Lei's body, forming a domineering purple Dou Qi Gauze Armor over his skin. Even more Dou Qi gathered around his legs.

Wind Thunder Leg!

Xiao Lei gave a low shout, tapped the ground with his toes, and instantly soared into the air. His legs lashed out repeatedly, swift as lightning!

As his legs struck out, purple arcs of lightning seemed to flicker into existence. At the same time, the sound of wind and thunder abruptly rang through the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

In an instant, a string of muffled impacts rang out across the battlefield.

Under the stunned gazes of Fei Lei, Ka Gang, and the others, more than a dozen First-Class Magical Beasts had all had their heads kicked apart by Xiao Lei, dying on the spot!

Even the three Tier 2 Magical Beasts were kicked back again and again by Xiao Lei, crashing into trees at the side before collapsing to the ground!

Die!

Seizing the opportunity, Fei Lei's Giant Sword flared with dense Dou Qi as he viciously chopped at the neck of one of the Tier 2 Magical Beasts!

Splat!

With a crisp sound, the Giant Sword cut directly into the magical beast's neck.

Awooo!

The magical beast's hide was thick and tough, and the slash failed to sever its neck. The Giant Sword became lodged there, making it cry out in agony. At the same time, it suddenly raised a foreleg and smashed it fiercely at Fei Lei.

Seeing this, Xiao Lei flashed forward and instantly appeared beside the Tier 2 Magical Beast. With a wave of his hand, a purple arc of lightning, sharp as a blade, sliced into its neck through the wound carved by the Giant Sword.

Roar...

A low growl sounded, and soon afterward, that Tier 2 Magical Beast also lost its life.

Roar!

Seeing that Xiao Lei had nearly slaughtered all of its dozen underlings in mere moments, the Tier 3 Magical Beast nearby let out an enraged roar. It stamped its limbs against the ground and shot toward Xiao Lei like lightning, opening its bloodstained maw to bite down on his head!

Xiao Lei's expression turned grave at the sight of the Tier 3 Magical Beast attacking. He hurriedly used Wind Thunder Leg and swiftly dodged its attack.

Wind Thunder Leg was not only powerful offensively; it could also be used as a movement Dou Technique.

"Lend me your sword." While avoiding the Tier 3 Magical Beast's attack, Xiao Lei spoke to Fei Lei. With a flash, he pulled the Giant Sword from the corpse of a Tier 2 Magical Beast.

However, he did not rush to deal with the Tier 3 Magical Beast. Instead, he continued his assault on the remaining two Tier 2 Magical Beasts.

Relying on the speed granted by Wind Thunder Leg, Xiao Lei tangled with the Tier 3 Magical Beast while attacking the other two Tier 2 Magical Beasts.

While being pursued by the Tier 3 Magical Beast, he forcibly slew the last two Tier 2 Magical Beasts.

Roar!

The Tier 3 Magical Beast grew even more enraged at the sight. It suddenly threw back its head and let out an angry roar, then spat a yellow beam of light from its bloodstained maw.

The yellow light was swift as lightning and instantly struck Xiao Lei. At once, he felt his body sink slightly, and his speed dropped by several degrees.

Taking advantage of the opening, the Tier 3 Magical Beast pounced and arrived before Xiao Lei. Its huge mouth bit toward his head while its two forelegs smashed viciously toward his chest.

Xiao Lei's expression changed slightly. He quickly thrust the Giant Sword into the Tier 3 Magical Beast's bloodstained maw while retreating at high speed.

Crack!

The magical beast closed its massive jaws and directly bit the Giant Sword in half!

At the same time, its two forelegs slammed down onto Xiao Lei's shoulders.

The immense force sent Xiao Lei staggering backward. Taking advantage of the momentum, he used Wind Thunder Leg and once again widened the distance between himself and the Tier 3 Magical Beast.

The moment he steadied himself, Dou Qi surged from Xiao Lei's body like a raging tide. Dark clouds seemed to gather in the sky, and the Dou Qi between heaven and earth began to stir violently.

Rumble!

Dark clouds suddenly churned through the sky above, blotting out the heavens and turning the entire world dim.

Xiao Lei stood where he was, allowing the clouds above his head to roil. Dou Qi flowed endlessly from within him like tidal waves, eventually transforming into purple light that scattered through heaven and earth.

Yet this spreading light did not dissipate into nothingness. Instead, as it spread, it rapidly absorbed the Dou Qi energy from the surrounding world.

Purple light enveloped Xiao Lei's figure, and together with the violently churning clouds, he looked like a thunder god commanding lightning, majestic and imposing!

In the sky, vast Dou Qi energy rapidly condensed. Then, beneath the shocked gazes of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group, it swiftly formed into an incomparably enormous Purple Giant Finger!

The giant finger was unimaginably huge, like a pillar supporting the heavens. Mysterious patterns covered its surface like naturally formed runes, brimming with immense power.

However, the giant finger appeared incomplete. More accurately, it was only half a finger.

Even so, its power shook Fei Lei and the others to their core!

The Tier 3 Magical Beast seemed to sense the aura of danger as well. Roaring, it charged rapidly toward Xiao Lei, intending to interrupt his Dou Technique!

Great Desolate Imprisoning Sky Finger, Half-Finger Shakes the Heavens!

Storms churned throughout the sky. Xiao Lei's eyes suddenly turned cold as he pressed a finger downward through the air.

In an instant, heaven and earth trembled as the enormous purple half-finger descended.

For a moment, it seemed as if even heaven and earth were shaken by its arrival!

The enormous purple half-finger collided viciously with the charging Tier 3 Magical Beast at lightning speed!

Rumble!

A terrifying Dou Qi storm erupted, and a deafening boom echoed throughout the world.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Under the shockwaves of the Dou Qi storm, terrifying fissures spread across the ground. The surrounding grass and trees were blasted away in an instant, leaving the area in complete ruin!

The purple half-finger finally struck the Tier 3 Magical Beast squarely on the head, crushing more than half of its skull inward.

Roar!

The Tier 3 Magical Beast let out a pained roar. Its enormous body crashed heavily to the ground like a toppled mountain, its head covered in blood as blood sprayed wildly from it. It was clearly beyond saving!

Xiao Lei had no time to inspect the magical beast's corpse. The once-abundant Dou Qi within him had been completely drained, leaving him feeling as though he had been hollowed out.

Enduring the discomfort in his body, Xiao Lei moved his mind and retrieved a Qi Recovery Pill from the System Space, placing it in his mouth.

One was not enough, so he immediately swallowed another. Only then did he feel somewhat recovered.

My strength is still too weak. I couldn't even fully use the first finger of the Great Desolate Imprisoning Sky Finger.

Xiao Lei shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat helpless.

Xiao Lei was slightly dissatisfied with his own strength, but he had no idea that Fei Lei and the others from the Blood Battle Mercenary Group had been utterly stunned by the power he displayed!

"So strong!"

"That was a Tier 3 Magical Beast, and Young Master Xiao Lei killed it in one move!"

"Compared to Young Master Xiao Lei, we're far too weak!"

"..."

"Thank you for coming to our aid, Young Master Xiao Lei." Fei Lei was the first to recover. He stepped forward and solemnly thanked Xiao Lei.

Xiao Lei waved his hand. "I merely happened to come across this. Besides, those beasts attacked me too. I was only fighting back."

"No matter what, we must thank Young Master Xiao." Fei Lei clasped his fists in salute, then continued,

"Young Master Xiao, many Tier 2 and Tier 3 Magical Beasts have suddenly appeared in the outer region of the Demon Beast Mountain Range. There may even be Tier 4 Magical Beasts. We should return to Green Mountain Town quickly."

"You should go back first. I still have something to deal with." Xiao Lei shook his head slightly.

Xiao Lei had some guesses about this so-called Beast Tide, and he intended to confirm whether his suspicions were correct.
