Slaying the Demon Beast, Drinking Its Blood! (Please Keep Reading)

Su Yueli's entire body immediately tensed, and with a shift of her figure, she retreated behind a broken white jade pillar.

Frowning, she looked toward the direction of the beast's roar.

From the shadows in the depths of the main hall, a gigantic wolf the size of a wild bull slowly emerged.

The giant wolf was covered in black fur like steel needles. A dark red single eye grew from its forehead, and a rancid stench emanated from its body.

A Late First Realm demon beast—the Blood-Eyed Wolf.

Su Yueli faced it as if confronting a great enemy, cold sweat faintly seeping from her palms.

In this world, the gap between cultivators and martial artists was like a vast chasm.

Even if an ordinary martial artist cultivated to the highest Tenth Realm, at best they could only exchange a few moves with a Second Realm cultivator.

As for facing high-level cultivators, that was simply a case of the other side casually throwing out a skill and the martial artist getting boxed on the spot.

This Late First Realm demon beast before her possessed strength equivalent to a Late First Realm Dao-entry cultivator. It truly embodied the difference between immortals and mortals.

How the hell was she supposed to play this? She was out, brothers.

Su Yueli cursed inwardly. Even though she had now broken through to the Sixth Realm, she still did not dare lower her guard in the slightest. After all, she had never fought a demon beast before.

At that moment, the Blood-Eyed Wolf's single eye was also fixed tightly upon Su Yueli, a flash of intelligent greed appearing within it.

It had remained in this deserted ruin for far too long. It had not tasted fresh human flesh in a very long time.

"Roar!"

The giant wolf could not be bothered to test her. Its body stirred up a foul wind as it pounced at Su Yueli like a mad beast.

Its speed was so great that it dragged a pitch-black afterimage behind it, arriving before her in almost an instant.

So fast!

Su Yueli's pupils contracted sharply. Relying on the instincts honed through countless life-and-death battles, she stomped her foot and narrowly slipped several feet to the side.

"Boom!"

The wolf's claw slammed viciously into the white jade pillar behind her. The pillar, thick enough to encircle with both arms, shattered beneath that blow, while the spiritual force even snapped several giant trees behind it.

Su Yueli's heart tightened as she fully experienced the terrifying gulf between martial artists and cultivators.

This sheer physical strength and speed had already surpassed the common sense of mortal martial arts.

She did not dare hold anything back. With a shake of both hands, the Shadow Fist Blades instantly shot out cold gleams.

First Form, Mountain Splitter!

Su Yueli excelled at close-range combat. With a flicker of her body, she darted beneath the giant wolf's belly, her right fist wrapped in the Sixth Realm Martial Awakening blood and qi as she smashed it fiercely toward the wolf's soft ribs.

"Clang!"

The fist blade struck the wolf's abdomen, yet it actually produced a sound like metal colliding with metal.

Su Yueli froze slightly. No way—the layer of seemingly soft black fur was actually harder than ordinary iron armor?

The giant wolf howled in pain and swept its tail over in a violent rage.

The wolf's tail, like a steel whip, lashed against Su Yueli's protective blood and qi with a piercing shriek through the air.

"Bang!"

Su Yueli was sent flying sideways, crashing heavily into a broken wall and smashing a large crater into the stone.

A sweetness rose in her throat, and a thread of blood trickled from the corner of her lips.

"It's not over yet!"

Su Yueli gritted her teeth and rose to her feet, her gaze fierce.

So this was the power of the cultivation realm?

It really was hard to deal with...

Having succeeded in one strike, the giant wolf pounced again.

Su Yueli took a deep breath as the Sixth Realm blood and qi within her began circulating wildly.

Fourth Form! River Severing!

This time, she neither dodged nor retreated. Facing the giant wolf's gaping bloody maw, she used the sharpness of the Shadow Fist Blades to gather the fully mastered Fourth Form Inch Force entirely into her fists.

The Underworld Mystic Iron and demon beast finger bones on the Shadow Fist Blades gave off a dazzling, ghostly gleam.

"Die!"

Su Yueli threw a punch, her fist edge crashing brutally against the giant wolf's fangs.

The fully mastered Inch Force passed through the fist blades like countless tiny steel needles, erupting through the giant wolf's mouth and instantly shattering its mouthful of steel-like teeth before drilling straight into its brain.

"Crack!"

The blade-like barbs at the tips of the Shadow Fist Blades also took the chance to viciously pierce through the giant wolf's lower jaw.

The giant wolf let out a shrill whimper. Its massive body convulsed violently a few times, then crashed to the ground, never to move again.

"Thud."

Su Yueli also collapsed to the ground as if all strength had left her, opening her mouth to cough up a mouthful of blood.

She leaned against a dead tree trunk, gasping for breath as every muscle in her body trembled uncontrollably. In this battle, she had exhausted all her strength and suffered serious internal injuries. Even two of her ribs had broken.

"Too weak... I'm still far too weak."

Su Yueli wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at the giant wolf's corpse with a bitter smile.

Fighting a mere Late First Realm demon beast at the very bottom of the ranks had nearly gotten her killed here.

If she faced Pang Jinbiao of the Pang Family, a Peak Eighth Realm martial artist, or the cultivators backing the Pang Family, she likely would not even have the right to struggle.

Strength. She needed greater strength!

Just then, Su Yueli looked at the scalding demon blood continuously flowing from the giant wolf's wound, and her expression suddenly shifted.

She suddenly recalled what she had heard five years ago at the Martial Dao Tournament, about those scions of great families buying beast blood to raise their cultivation.

Back then, both Chu Feng and Yun He had mentioned that the essence blood of high-level demon beasts had miraculous effects for washing the marrow and reforging the bones of martial artists.

She had indeed bought a bottle to try herself. It had worked exceptionally well.

Though this beast before her was only at the Late First Realm, it was still a genuine demon beast.

If she drank its blood, could it also raise her cultivation?

Su Yueli forced herself to stand and walked to the giant wolf's corpse. Looking at the viscous pool of blood, however, she hesitated somewhat.

She had heard that the beast blood used by scions of great families had all been refined by cultivators with special methods to remove impurities and eliminate the violent demon qi.

If ordinary martial artists drank raw, untreated demon blood directly, they were very likely to explode and die because they could not withstand its violent energy.

She did not know any refining techniques.

"Those who dare starve not; those who fear starve to death."

Su Yueli stared at the pool of blood, her silver teeth biting down.

The scions of great families had used the essence blood of Fourth Realm demon beasts. Naturally, those things contained wildly violent energy.

But this giant wolf before her was merely at the Late First Realm. Though its blood had not been processed, her body had undergone the thousandfold tempering of Sixth Realm blood and qi, giving her a solid foundation. Perhaps she could withstand it.

Fortune was sought amid danger!

If she kept diligently training step by step, who knew whether she would have to train until the year of the monkey to avenge herself?

Su Yueli hesitated no longer. Squatting down, she scooped up a palmful of scalding demon blood with her fair hands and brought it directly to her mouth.

It was viscous, foul-smelling, and even carried a faint sting.

Su Yueli swallowed it down by force.

After drinking several large mouthfuls, she sat cross-legged on the ground again and waited quietly.

Yet after several dozen breaths had passed, there was no movement at all within her body.

Su Yueli frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. "Could it be that this demon beast's realm is too low, and the energy in its flesh and blood is useless to a Sixth Realm martial artist like me?"

But before the thought could fully settle.

Boom!

The next moment, a violent torrent of heat suddenly exploded from her stomach.

That torrent was like boiling magma, surging madly through her eight extraordinary meridians.

Su Yueli felt her mind buzz. The blood and qi throughout her body had actually begun to surge wildly out of control.
