With a puzzled expression, the Bronze Skull Beast looked at the figure that was rushing towards it.
It truly hadn't expected that a mere Late Fifth Tier cultivator could withstand so many of its attacks.
Is this guy... really just a human?
The Bronze Skull Beast simply watched the figure and the cold light that slashed straight towards it.
It raised its paw and went to meet them.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."
Sharp metallic clanging sounds echoed intermittently in the air.
The surging energy spread outwards, forming shockwaves that were visible to the naked eye time and time again.
Along with the shockwave, the figure that flew out also spread outwards.
"Clang--"
Knives and claws clashed.
The figure flew out once again.
This time, unlike before, he did not stop in mid-air in time, but instead continued downwards, crashing heavily into the mountainside.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and the surroundings fell silent for a moment.
After a moment, a figure slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.
His figure trembled, and his speed was much slower than at the beginning, but he did not hesitate for a moment in his upward flight.
He only stopped slowly after the two sides were evenly matched.
Then, he opened his mouth and breathed softly.
Neither side took immediate action.
One side is adjusting its own state.
On the other hand, they don't mind if the other person adjusts their state.
After all, even in his prime, his opponent could only barely put up a fight against him, let alone now.
Unfortunately...
Looking at that figure, the Bronze Skull Beast sighed softly in its heart.
As it adjusted its posture, the massive figure lunged forward, charging straight ahead.
Shen Heng exhaled softly, his gaze fixed on the figure rushing straight towards him.
His physical condition was not as serious as it appeared.
More often than not, it's a mix of truth and falsehood.
after all.
The oncoming attack, the Fluid Battle Armor, and the Inscription on the Fluid Battle Armor.
With the triple reduction, the force of the Bronze Skull Beast's attack that could reach him was already significantly reduced.
With the remaining force, its effectiveness is even more limited under the dual cushioning of the body and the Origin Power.
but...
And it did work after all!
Even relying solely on physical attributes, Sixth Tier Calamity Beast is probably not much weaker than a Late Fifth Tier being.
Moreover, this is only the Early Sixth Tier...
With a solemn expression, Shen Heng stared at the figure rapidly enlarging in his eyes.
Is it still a little short...?
He let out a final, soft breath.
Then, he slightly raised the longsword in his hand, and his Origin Power covered it once more.
"Clang--"
Knives and claws clashed.
A tremendous force traveled through the longsword first, followed by the beast's claws that forcefully pressed the longsword down.
The beast's claws landed on Shen Heng, sending him flying once again.
Then, the second time, the third time...
Shen Heng was repeatedly knocked away, but he kept coming back.
As time went by.
They seemed to be getting a little annoyed.
The Bronze Skull Beast was gathering more and more Origin Power in its claws...
Finally, once again, Shen Heng was sent flying.
He didn't move, but let his body fly away into the distance due to inertia.
The wind was rushing closer and closer.
Shen Heng silently watched the scene rushing past on both sides.
Suddenly, he let out a soft breath.
His trembling body straightened, and his gaze fell upon the enormous figure that was hurtling towards him.
Their eyes met.
There were no pleasantries, and no words were spoken.
The shimmering white Origin Power enveloped the Bronze Skull Beast's right forelimb.
Then, with a whistling sound, the beast's claws swung straight forward.
As before, Shen Heng raised his sword to meet the attack...
The Origin Power within his body switched to another form the instant the longsword was swung.
Shen Heng's body trembled, both he and the knife trembled...
Above, the figure of the Bronze Skull Beast stiffened slightly.
A sense of danger inexplicably welled up inside me.
His mental energy swept quickly across the surroundings, but he found no trace of any other humans or Calamity Beast.
Then, below...
Attention was focused on the figure below.
The Bronze Skull Beast's pupils still held a hint of doubt.
The figure below was no different from before; his body was still trembling, and he was still raising his sword to resist.
The only difference, perhaps, is that the frequency of the shaking seems quite different from before.
The Bronze Skull Beast didn't quite understand.
Is there any difference between a knife that trembles and one that doesn't?
Even if there is a difference, it's probably just that it's a little more powerful!
What good is this impressive feature anyway?
Confused, the Bronze Skull Beast pondered where the threat was coming from.
Suddenly, his body trembled.
Slightly incredulous, he looked down at the figure whose Origin Power was surging wildly.
The figure, moving at a speed far exceeding what it had just experienced, bypassed its claws and hurtled towards its face.
This guy... isn't he afraid of Distortion by activating his Origin Power like that?
Oh, no, even if he doesn't activate his Origin Power, he'll still die in the end.
hateful!
The Bronze Skull Beast cursed inwardly.
It tried to resist, but by then it was too late.
The beast's claws were only a few meters away from the human.
At that distance, even if he hadn't been preparing for an attack, facing that sudden human attack wouldn't have been easy.
Fortunately...
The cold light did not go towards its beast claws.
Instead, it was coming towards its face.
For most Calamity Beast, the head is definitely the most vulnerable part, but unfortunately...
Ha, why do you think my race is called the Bronze Skull Beast?
The Bronze Skull Beast inwardly mocked its opponent.
Then, in the next instant, the cold light suddenly shifted and slashed towards its outstretched forepaw, as if it had been its original target.
His pupils contracted rapidly.
The Bronze Skull Beast wanted to find a way, but...
"Clang--"
The long sword made contact with the beast's claws.
The next instant, a series of fine gnawing sounds rang out from the point of contact.
Then...
"Click--"
With a crisp cracking sound, the longsword sliced through the scales on the beast's claw and pierced into its forelimb.
The next moment.
The Origin Power surged and spread wildly towards the direction the longsword was pointing...
"Swoosh--"
A white light slashed across the sky.
The severed limb flew straight up, and blood poured down like rain.
