Chapter 440 - 276: The Formidable Blood-Soaked Tyrant Body

Chapter 440: Chapter 276: The Formidable Blood-Soaked Tyrant Body

The Blade-Wheel Desolate Beast completely ignored the storm of Sword Qi unleashed by Yu Fei. Its instincts told it that the attack wasn’t even worthy of scratching an itch.

This was the awkward aspect of Yu Fei’s Immeasurable Sword Qi. If it could break through an opponent’s defenses, he could drown them in a terrifying deluge of Sword Qi. But if it couldn’t, his Sword Qi was less impressive than a fireworks display.

That being said, for a Fifth Realm cultivator, Sword Qi with destructive power on par with strong Gang Qi was already an extraordinary technique.

It was just that Yu Fei’s targets were far too ambitious.

Suddenly, a continuous shower of sparks erupted in the pitch-black, silent Eternal Night Forest.

With the weight and sharpness of his sword, Zhanming, combined with his own monstrous strength and the constant infusion of Sword Intent, Yu Fei still couldn’t inflict any effective damage on this 7th-rank desolate beast.

He could see that the Scale Armor on the beast’s body was extraordinarily hard. His repeated attacks could only leave faint scratches on it.

The same went for Zhanming. The greatsword, forged by Zhuo Feiming from the base materials of a Grandmaster’s treasured weapon, was also getting marked by the repeated clashes.

Using the Spatial Dao Marks, Yu Fei’s figure darted left and right. He dodged its attacks while seizing every slight opportunity to counterattack.

In such a focused battle, the myriad of martial concepts within his Returning Ruins Spiritual Source churned without cease. The sword shadow at its center flickered with a strange light, growing ever stronger as it was continuously tempered.

After a long and fierce battle, the man and the beast were at a stalemate, neither able to overcome the other.

Yu Fei was at a slight disadvantage. If not for the teleportation granted by his Spatial Dao Marks, he would have been utterly unable to withstand the beast’s relentless assault.

He wouldn’t use the Dao Marks to escape, but he had to use them in combat.

Otherwise, he had no business fighting a 7th-rank desolate beast.

This beast was nothing like Ah Zhen, whose attacks were so weak that a few pecks were of no consequence.

If Yu Fei were hit by this blade-wheel, he would undoubtedly be severely injured.

He focused his entire mind, not daring to be the slightest bit careless. A long-absent stinging sensation of danger pricked him all over his body. According to his Insight’s judgment, even Ah Zhen’s attacks had never felt this perilous.

In this intense, perilous battle, his spiritual will was constantly tempered and stimulated. The sword shadow within his spiritual source grew more substantial, achieving tangible growth.

The man and the beast continued their frenzied battle.

Suddenly, the pangolin-like desolate beast unfurled from its blade-wheel state, roaring repeatedly. It seemed dissatisfied that it still hadn’t taken down this frail biped.

Its eyes turned red, clearly visible in the dark night. Its immense Qi Blood condensed further as it abruptly closed in on Yu Fei and raked a claw at his chest.

Its blade-wheel state maxed out its defense, attack, and speed, but the fighting style was too simplistic and lacked variation. It was completely ineffective against the agile Yu Fei.

By changing its tactics, the pangolin beast’s threat to Yu Fei increased dramatically.

As local 7th-rank desolate beasts that had fought their way up within the Eternal Night Forest, they all had their own territories. A creature with a weak aura like Yu Fei was a natural target for its hunt.

The giant pangolin-like beast now fully displayed the might of a 7th-rank creature. Yu Fei was completely suppressed. Zhanming was a blur in his hands, but he was still forced back again and again.

Suddenly, just as he blocked its claws and dodged its bite, its tail stabbed down like a vicious spear. A sharp pang of warning flared over his heart—the precognition from his Insight—allowing him to barely dodge. However, the tail’s follow-up sweep slashed a wound across his side.

It was too fast; he didn’t even have time to teleport with his Spatial Dao Marks.

A sound like tearing old, tanned leather rang out. The Melt Gold Jade Body Skill, which he had spent immense resources to cultivate, granted him an incredibly high defense.

The wound wasn’t deep; no blood flowed out. The shallow gash healed quickly.

However, after Yu Fei was injured, the 7th-rank desolate beast caught a whiff of something in his scent. Its movements grew even more frantic. To the beast, the injured Yu Fei was like an unwrapped piece of roasted meat, exuding a deadly, tantalizing aroma.

Yu Fei had consumed countless heavenly treasures, and much of their potent energy lay dormant within him. To a desolate beast, he was a peerless delicacy.

Facing the berserk beast, Yu Fei was completely overwhelmed. Shallow wounds constantly appeared on his body.

He could only dodge or block the attacks with off-the-charts damage, but he couldn’t defend against everything and was continuously wounded.

’This can’t go on!’

Suddenly, the interconnected network of red patterns within Yu Fei’s body began to shine, like a three-dimensional rune being activated.

"Kill!"

Yu Fei’s reckless roar shattered the silence of the Eternal Night Forest. After activating his Bloodbath Tyrant Body, his physique seemed to switch into a high-consumption mode. His muscles bulged, his blood surged, and his minor wounds healed in an instant.

Endless rage welled up in his heart, granting him a powerful boost in strength, yet his mind became increasingly calm.

In this state, Yu Fei instinctively changed his strategy. He began trading blow for blow with the desolate beast.

’You can land three claws on me, but I will land one sword strike on you!’

He only had to avoid fatal blows, putting his life on the line with every swing of his sword.

For a time, wounds continuously appeared on Yu Fei’s body, some even drawing blood. But the giant pangolin wasn’t faring much better. Under Yu Fei’s relentless assault, he successfully shattered a large patch of its Scale Armor, exposing the vulnerable flesh beneath.

The beast seized an opportunity to lick up some of Yu Fei’s blood. The complex flavor, rich with pure, essential energy, was intoxicating. The food in the Eternal Night Forest was so dry and bland—how could any of it compare to this deliciousness?

Drooling, it pounced once more.

"DONG!..."

Time seemed to slow for Yu Fei. He forgot everything—even his own talents. His vision narrowed, focusing solely on the patch of tender pink flesh exposed where the Scale Armor had been shattered.
