With a semi-immortal weapon in hand, An Lin was actually quite confident in battling against a Spirit Beast of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage.
However, three other Spirit Beasts of the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage suddenly appeared. How was he, a little cultivator of the Tenth Stage Dao Body, supposed to deal with them?
“Brothers, why don’t we deal with this peacefully. I haven’t done anything atrocious, why are you all targeting me?” An Lin had no choice but to try and sway them with his words.
However, his words had no effect on them whatsoever.
The four Spirit Beasts remained silent and slowly closed in on him, cruel and savage looks on all their faces.
Was using the talismans gifted to him by the Soul Formation Stage cultivators his only option?
It hurt An Lin to have to use them. He had already used up all the Spirit Nurturing Stage talismans.
He only had thirteen sheets of Soul Formation Stage talismans, each one being a life-saving tool.
Now, he was forced to use these life-saving talismans here. Who knew that he would be so unlucky?
His storage ring flashed and a yellow talisman appeared between his fingers.
This talisman was created by Spirit Child Shi, the sect leader of Kunlun Mountain Immortal Sect. The power possessed by this talisman was equal to that of a full-power strike performed by a cultivator of the Soul Formation Initial Stage.
“Roar!”
The two lions which were emitting a black aura pounced at him.
Like the blades of a sword, their sharp claws slashed toward his body. Because of how quick they were, there was a swishing sound as they slashed through the air.
“Unyielding Frost Sword!”
As An Lin activated the talisman, a fearsome sword materialized and slashed outwards.
The flow of air faltered and the temperature suddenly dropped, the surroundings descending into a wintry chill.
Like a fine thread slicing apart heaven and earth, a blue sword projection flashed past.
Still frozen in their leaping motions, the lions were defenseless as they were sliced into two. Turning into ice sculptures, they crashed to the ground.
Two Spirit Beasts were instantly killed the moment the talisman was activated!
An Lin took out another paper talisman and looked coldly at the bear and elephant. “If you’re not afraid to die, then charge toward me!”
Once a beast ranked up to become a Spirit Beast, they would be able to understand human speech, even if they could not speak it themselves.
He didn’t actually want to use this talisman. These were all life-saving treasures and the more that he used, the less he would have.
In reality, An Lin just wanted to scare them off with this talisman. After all, these two Spirit Beasts had personally witnessed the wretched end of those two lions.
Unexpectedly, the gigantic white bear and gigantic elephant were completely unfazed by this. Instead of retreating, they continued closing in on An Lin with cold expressions on their faces.
Holy f*ck! They’re seriously not afraid of dying?
An Lin grimaced and put the talisman back into his storage ring.
Then, he turned around and started to flee!
“Xu Xiaolan! Save me!”
As he screamed, An Lin sprinted toward the area where Xu Xiaolan was…
It was only because the lions were blocking off his path of retreat that he was forced to use the talisman.
Now that there were only two Spirit Beasts left, he could at least flee even if he couldn’t beat them, right?
Rather than lose a life-saving treasure, it was better to lose his decency.
After all…
Staying alive was most important!
The bear and elephant were both dazed upon seeing this. Then, they roared in anger and charged after An Lin.
While he was escaping, An Lin didn’t forget to place the two lion corpses into his storage ring.
These two lions were killed cleanly and had barely any injuries. They were simply sliced into two and frozen into ice statues.
As such, it was possible that their Beast Cores were still intact. Thus, it was only reasonable that he retrieved their corpses.
In the distance, countless mutant beasts were burnt to ashes by a raging flame.
Like a saint, a female dressed in majestic robes stood shrouded in flames.
The sword in her hand flashed about, and every strike was holy and majestic.
Each and every mutant beast which neared her was burnt to death by the terrifying flames surrounding her.
“Xu Xiaolan, save me!”
An Lin’s cry traveled over from the distance.
Looking toward the direction of the cry, the female saw the disheveled An Lin, as well as the gigantic elephant and white bear which were pursuing him relentlessly.
“Oh? Why are you so popular, An Lin?” Xu Xiaolan chuckled softly.
She trod lightly and was beside An Lin in an instant.
An Lin panted, “I don’t want to be so popular! You’re not going to believe this, but I was being chased by four Spirit Beasts just then!
“If it wasn’t for my life-saving talismans, I’m afraid that I’d already be a mush of protein in the Spirit Beasts’ stomachs!”
Hearing that An Lin had been forced into such a bind, Xu Xiaolan scowled, exclaiming angrily, “Come! I’ll take revenge for you!”
Saying this, a pair of fiery wings suddenly unraveled from behind her.
As she flapped these wings, streams of flames swirled around her.
Like a gust of wind, she swept toward the gigantic elephant. Flicking her wrist, her sword drew out a flaming arc.
So fast!
An Lin was startled by Xu Xiaolan’s sudden burst of speed. This speed was even faster than when she whizzed around on her flying sword.
The gigantic elephant had noticed Xu Xiaolan since a while ago, and the spikes on its body squirmed about.
A jet of water suddenly spurted from its long trunk, gushing toward the flaming arc.
Boom!
As the arc of flames and the stream of water collided, the water quickly evaporated, blanketing the air with a white mist.
Amidst this white mist, blades of water and flames occasionally slashed out.
The gigantic elephant was a Spirit Beast of the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage. Although Xu Xiaolan had only ranked up to the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage a short while ago, she was supremely talented and also possessed the Divine Phoenix Bloodline. As a result, it was actually she who had the upperhand in the battle against the gigantic elephant.
Seizing the opportunity created by Xu Xiaolan being blocked by the gigantic elephant, the gigantic white bear once again pounced at An Lin.
An Lin wasn’t scared of just a single Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage ranked Spirit Beast. Gripping his Evil-Slaying Sword, he charged over.
When the gigantic white bear was still thirty feet from An Lin, it suddenly stopped and smashed one of its paws into the ground.
A cold chill rose from the ground and An Lin instinctively jumped back.
Instantly, a ten-foot-long ice spike shot up from the ground.
An Lin exhaled softly, thinking that he had dodged this spell technique.
Then, he found that the ice spike started trembling, eventually breaking free from the floor and shooting toward him.
An Lin was extremely alarmed. He hastily cast a Mountain Quaking Fist and shattered the ice spike flying toward him.
At almost exactly the same time, however, a gigantic figure had already appeared before him. Bringing a terrifying might with it, a bear paw swiped toward his chest.
Bam!
An Lin was struck by the bear paw and his body rocketed into the ground, smashing out a deep crater.
A sweet taste entered his mouth and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He had underestimated this Spirit Beast. If it wasn’t for his body being sturdy and tough, this strike would’ve left him half-dead.
Even though the gigantic white bear had an arm chopped off due to its own carelessness, its speed didn’t slow down a single bit.
“Roar!”
The bear leaped at him once again, countless icicles suspended in the air and piercing toward him.
“This again?”
Watching the sword-like icicles stab toward him, An Lin’s eyes became snowy white. Divine Inspection—Activate!
Flaw analysis…
At this moment, his body also started moving.
Shifting his body and slashing with his sword as he pushed forwards, it was almost as if the icicles didn’t exist.
As the gigantic white bear leaped toward An Lin, it suddenly had a bad feeling, and it was just about to pull out of its attack and retreat.
An Lin hooked his finger and there was a sudden clap of thunder. A bolt of lightning crackled down and struck the gigantic white bear’s body, causing it to falter momentarily.
At this moment, An Lin had already dashed before the bear, his Evil-Slaying Sword drawing out a deadly black arc.
Rip…
The gigantic white bear’s head was tossed into the sky and blood spurted from its neck.
An Lin flicked the blood off his long black sword, the corner of his lips curling up into a slight smile.
He knew that he definitely looked amazing just then.
Sword Immortal An Lin—Successfully completed Spirit Beast solo kill!
