Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Decisive Kill_1
At sunset, the trio discovered a stone cliff over a hundred meters high ahead, surrounded by dense woods. They decided to climb the precipice to rest overnight.
After dinner, the last vestiges of sunset disappeared, and darkness quickly fell. On this island, home to many primordial ferocious beasts, the night was just as perilous.
Choosing to rest on the cliff was wise, as many savage and ferocious beasts roamed the forest when darkness fell, their roars echoing incessantly.
It was an unbearably hot night, with clouds looming over the island but not a drop of rain. As night deepened, it was so dark that one couldn't see their hand in front of their face. The endless forests in the distance merged with the darkness, and no trace of the landscape was visible.
In the middle of the night, a massive roar reverberated, shaking the entire cliff as if it were quaking. The forest was swept by a ferocious gust of wind, carrying the faint scent of blood and evil Qi.
Prince Feng and Liu Yue immediately closed their hearing as the thunderous roar buffeted their ears, making them feel turbulent air flows. If they hadn't protected their eardrums in time, they would have burst!
The beast's roar that shook heaven and earth was too terrifying!
In the distance, a colossal creature shrouded in a faint aqua glow howled at the sky. It was too far away to see clearly, but it vaguely resembled a small mountain in size.
"Bang bang bang…"
The gigantic beast roared and advanced through the forest. Even atop the cliff, tremors from the creature could be felt. It was a truly shocking sight!
This must be the same ancient ferocious beast that once battled the Evil Octopus Dragon.
Countless wild beasts scurried in fear, throwing the entire forest into chaos.
On cue, Xiao Chen seized the moment to strike!
As the tremendous roars filled the air, with violent gusts of wind and sound waves covering everything, Xiao Chen's left hand, swift as a blade, plunged into Liu Yue's back. Simultaneously, his other hand jerked the longsword attached to her waist.
With a stroke of the sword, blood burst forth!
Facing away from Xiao Chen and bewildered by the wild beast, Prince Feng screamed as his right arm was slashed off and sent spiralling down the cliff.
Determined to kill!
All of this happened in an instant, with no pause in between!
Liu Yue was fatally wounded. Prince Feng, though astute, couldn't sense anything amiss. However, his sharp intuition alerted him to the danger, and he instinctively evaded the killing blow. Unfortunately, his right arm was lost forever.
Xiao Chen had been waiting for the right moment! The terrifying sound waves engulfed heaven and earth. Prince Feng and Liu Yue temporarily lost their senses and were temporarily mesmerized by the horrifying beast. At last, Xiao Chen had the chance to attack.
Liu Yue's screams were drowned by the deafening roar of the beast, but she was not dead yet. Shaking, she launched herself at Xiao Chen. Meanwhile, the single-armed Prince Feng, smeared in blood and howling, swiped the sword towards Xiao Chen with his left hand.
Their regret and anger knew no limit because the man they believed was doomed had seized a fleeting opportunity to attack them!
In the dark night, Xiao Chen was exceptionally calm. His long sword, gleaming brilliantly, showed no hesitation as it decapitated Liu Yue's falling body in an instant.
Amidst the dazzling sword light, Liu Yue's decapitated head, full of unwillingness and disbelief, fell down the cliff. Her headless body spurted out a fountain of blood.
No matter how beautiful Liu Yue was, Xiao Chen wouldn't soften. An enemy was an enemy, and there would be no wavering for any reason!
Overhead, lightning flashed across the rolling black clouds. Amid the endless darkness, the flashes of electricity were eerily strange.
Xiao Chen and Prince Feng engaged in a fierce battle on the cliff, their long swords slicing the darkness like swift stallions, connecting with the descending lightning bolts!
Prince Feng, a standout disciple of the Evil King lineage, had a high cultivation level. However, his strength was impaired with the loss of an arm, and the heavy blood loss made it increasingly hard for him to hold on. In the end, he hurled his long sword towards Xiao Chen. The sword light seemed to rip through the void.
Xiao Chen swiftly dodged the razor-sharp sword. Simultaneously, Prince Feng threw something else that resembled a scroll. A terrifying energy surged forth. Relying on keen instincts, Xiao Chen sensed an imminent threat.
The scroll unfurled against the wind, like a picture roll. At this moment, Xiao Chen felt a real threat of death. He felt as if the Death God was closing in on him, and the colossal death lock seemed to coil around his neck!
Without any hesitation, Xiao Chen chose to jump from the cliff. It was the only path to escape from the looming shadow of death.
Amidst the whistling wind, a radiant red light exploded from the top of the cliff. The dazzling light completely enveloped the peak. The single-armed Prince Feng also jumped down without any hesitation. The horrifying light swallowed up the top of the cliff, and the scent of death filled the air.
Below lay endless trees. Many sky-reaching ancient trees stood tens of meters tall. As Xiao Chen descended into the canopy, he used his hands and feet to relieve the impact. Each branch was an amulet for his protection.
Thus, Xiao Chen descended. When he finally landed, aside from the surging vitality and minor internal injuries, he was unscathed. Around the same time that he landed, Prince Feng also narrowly landed, drenched in blood, his hair disheveled, looking extremely disordered.
Picking up the sword, Xiao Chen rushed forward, showing no mercy to his enemies!
Surprisingly, Prince Feng charged forward unarmed, swiping his palm to release divine light that hit the longsword, causing Xiao Chen's arm to feel like it was struck by lightning. From the cold, glistering longsword came bursts of formidable power, making it vibrate and then snap.
The exceptional iron sword, over a meter long, eventually broke into pieces. Unable to back out, Xiao Chen discarded the broken hilt and pushed both palms forward. A dazzling light bloomed, illuminating the night sky. Rumblings echoed through the forest as the light swallowed up everything.
