"Phew..."
Standing opposite the second-tier Thunder Pattern Zhen, Wu Qingce closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, his dark eyes were locked firmly on his "prey."
Facing Wu Qingce's fighting spirit, the Thunder Pattern Zhen showed no fear whatsoever. Its four tails swayed as it radiated the Mad Qi unique to Exotic Beasts, while its eyes gradually changed from black to red.
Seeing that the atmosphere between man and beast had reached its peak, Jiang Beiran, acting as referee, casually called out, "Mm, begin."
"Roar!!!"
With its life on the line, the Thunder Pattern Zhen pounced at Wu Qingce with all its strength, its front claws glowing with an eerie red light.
Second-tier Exotic Beasts corresponded to Cultivators at the Mystic Master level, but Wu Qingce did not fear this challenge across realms in the slightest.
After circulating the Returning Heart Skill to disperse the Mad Qi trying to make him lose his composure, Wu Qingce fully activated the Cloud Rolling Art and leaped backward into the air.
"Boom!"
The Thunder Pattern Zhen's pounce missed, but its movements did not pause in the slightest. Having locked onto Wu Qingce's retreating direction, it immediately pushed off with its hind legs and pursued him into the air.
It's coming.
As the Thunder Pattern Zhen leaped into the air, six Crescent Flying Daggers suddenly appeared between Wu Qingce's fingers, and he hurled them all at it.
Seeing the six tiny Crescent Flying Daggers flying toward it, the Thunder Pattern Zhen paid them no heed at all, merely sweeping one of its tails at them.
"Awooo!!!"
Yet the next moment, the Thunder Pattern Zhen let out a miserable howl. Those six seemingly unremarkable Crescent Flying Daggers had actually pierced straight through its tail and sunk into its body.
