Fourth-Tier Yao Beast

He stood up and stretched his limbs.

Only after confirming that his body had fully adapted to the surge in his cultivation level did he head towards the core area.

The core area is not large, covering only a few dozen miles in circumference.

The ancient trees here are thicker than those in the central region, their canopies so dense they almost completely block out all sunlight.

They hadn't walked far when they could faintly hear the sounds of fighting ahead.

Lu Feng suppressed his aura, lowered his body to its lowest point, and silently moved forward.

He stopped behind an ancient tree that was as thick as a person's embrace, and peered out from behind the trunk.

Ahead lay a clearing in the woods, leveled by battle.

Broken ancient trees lay scattered on the ground, the ground covered with deep claw and sword marks.

Several sword marks were several feet long and penetrated several inches into the stone, with cuts as smooth as a mirror.

In the center of the open space, a young man dressed in a white robe calmly dealt with the attack of five wolf demons.

His movements were incredibly fast; each sword strike possessed a fleeting, ethereal quality.

The sword light, like streaks of silver ribbons, weaved among the wolf demons.

Four third-tier wolf demons attacked him from four directions in turn, but they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

His true adversary was a giant, silver-white wolf, a full size larger than the other wolf demons.

He exuded a strong Yao Qi.

Fourth-tier wolf demon!

The white-robed youth emanated True Essence fluctuations, indicating he was Mid-Stage Grandmaster.

The white-robed youth looked only a few years older than him, yet he was already Mid-Stage Grandmaster.

Moreover, judging from his unbeatable performance in battle, this level of cultivation was not achieved through the use of elixirs.

Just as he was considering whether to wait until both sides had decided the outcome before cleaning up the mess,

The white-robed youth suddenly forced back the fourth-tier wolf demon with a sword strike, then turned and glanced in the direction where the wolf demon was hiding.

"I am Liu Suifeng, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect. I humbly request your assistance, fellow Daoist, to hold off these four third-tier wolf demons for a moment. I will repay you handsomely upon your success!"

Lu Feng felt a slight chill.

He had concealed his aura to the extreme, yet the other party still detected him.

Grandmaster's perception is indeed far superior to that of Hua Jin.

Now that it's been exposed, there's no point in hiding it anymore.

Lu Feng emerged from behind the tree, the Six Harmonies Saber Blade in his hand.

"Humans!"

The silver wolf demon turned its head, its pupils locking onto Lu Feng, filled with undisguised killing intent.

"Leave now, and I may spare your life."

"If you don't know what's good for you, once I capture this brat, I'll tear your limbs off one by one and eat them slowly."

"How dare a mere demon beast utter such arrogant words?"

Lu Feng raised the Six Harmonies Saber, its tip pointing at one of the third-tier wolf demons.

"Watch the knife."

He flashed forward and pounced on the four third-tier wolf demons.

"Kill him for me!"

The silver wolf demon roared and engaged Liu Suifeng in battle once more.

Lu Feng did not use his full strength when facing the attack of four third-tier wolf demons.

He deliberately toned down his movements and swordsmanship, only using the Gale Saber Art and the Carefree Steps to maneuver around him.

Every move he received looked incredibly dangerous, but in reality, the four wolf demons couldn't even break through his Golden Bell Shield.

His attention was mostly focused on the battle taking place nearby.

He wanted to see just how strong Grandmaster and a fourth-tier demonic beast really were.

Even so, it wasn't long before the four third-tier wolf demons were covered in knife wounds.

Their attacks began to falter, their eyes constantly glancing towards the silver wolf demon, clearly indicating that they were considering retreating.

Lu Feng realized their intentions and stopped pretending. He unleashed his Gale Slash, killing all four wolf demons with a single, clean strike.

[Ding! Successfully slayed a Tier 3 wolf demon, gaining 100,000 Demon Points]

[Ding! Successfully slayed a Tier 3 wolf demon, gaining 100,000 Demon Points]

Four consecutive notifications signaled that another 400,000 Demon Points had been acquired.

"Good! Fellow Daoist, your methods are excellent!"

Liu Suifeng caught a glimpse of the battle unfolding around him, his spirits lifted, and his offensive suddenly intensified.

"Looks like I made the right bet this time!"

His swordplay changed, and the Sword Force suddenly became several times more ferocious.

He transformed into a streak of white sword light and hurtled towards the silver wolf demon.

"Thirteen Startled Swan Swords!"

He murmured to himself,

The first sword strike wasn't fast, but each subsequent strike was faster and more ferocious than the last.

The sword light flashed like a fleeting shadow, cutting in from different angles and drawing silvery-white arcs in the air.

By the seventh sword strike, his figure was so fast that it was difficult to capture with the naked eye; all that could be seen was a white streak of light swirling around the silver wolf demon.

The silver wolf demon clearly knew the power of this move, and it raised its head and let out a deafening howl.

It ceased to maintain its half-beast form, and its entire body began to twist and deform violently.

Its limbs stretched out, its torso swelled, and silvery-white fur gushed out wildly from under its skin.

In just a few breaths, it completely transformed into a giant silver wolf over ten feet long.

Ancestral Reversion!

The unique innate abilities of fourth-tier demonic beasts.

Third-tier demonic beasts can only activate their bloodline power, while fourth-tier beasts can directly Ancestral Reversion.

Lu Feng retreated several meters.

He might not be able to withstand the aftershocks of the upcoming battle between the human and the demon, even if he was standing nearby.

The giant silver wolf used all four legs to propel its massive body towards Liu Suifeng like a bolt of silver lightning.

It moved at an absurd speed, leaving four deep claw marks in the ground where it passed, and the air it pushed out made a muffled thud.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

In the blink of an eye, the human and the demon had exchanged more than a dozen blows.

Sparks flew as the sword clashed with the wolf's claws, scattering across the open ground. The clanging of metal against metal caused the leaves of the surrounding trees to fall in a rustling sound.

By the seventh of the Thirteen Startled Swan Swords, Liu Suifeng was still slightly at a disadvantage, being forced back half a step with each collision.

But by the ninth sword strike, the Sword Force had caught up with the wolf demon's speed.

By the eleventh sword strike, his figure had completely turned into an afterimage, while the silver giant wolf's movements began to slow down slightly.

Lu Feng's gaze was fixed on Liu Suifeng's sword moves.

The Thirteen Startled Swan Swords are similar to his Nine Layered Wave Slashes, both increasing attack power through layering.

But they took different paths.

The Nine Layered Wave Slashes is all about increasing weight; each slash is heavier than the last.

The Thirteen Startled Swan Swords are all about speed, each sword faster than the last.

Based on the power seen so far, the Nine Layered Wave Slashes has a higher potential for explosive power, but the Thirteen Startled Swan Swords is faster and harder to dodge.

He silently rehearsed in his mind that if he were to face Liu Suifeng, he might not be able to dodge the speed of the first Thirteen Startled Swan Swords, and would have no choice but to take it head-on.

In the process of deduction, the Thirteen Startled Swan Swords had already reached the thirteenth strike.

The moment the sword was thrust out, Liu Suifeng seemed to become one with the sword.

It was so fast that the eye couldn't even keep up.

The giant silver wolf dodged to the side, but it was still a fraction of a second too slow.

The sword's edge slashed diagonally from its right shoulder to its left rib, cutting through the fur and muscle, leaving a spray of silvery-white blood.

"Awoo!"

The giant silver wolf let out a painful howl, its massive body staggering back a few steps before crashing heavily to the ground.

It struggled to stand up, but its front paws barely supported half its body before collapsing back down.

Liu Suifeng stood there, sword tip pointing towards the ground, panting heavily.

This clearly shows that the Thirteen Startled Swan Swords had taken a heavy toll on him.
