The short sword clashed with the sharp claws of the fierce monkey, yet it didn’t harm it in the slightest! Su Chen was shocked; he never expected the claws of this mid-level Spirit Beast to withstand an attack from a lower-grade Spiritual Artifact!
Retreating several meters abruptly, he decisively discarded the short sword in his hand, and with a clang, drew the blood sword from his back!
Severe blood loss caused the Beast’s Qi Energy to be incomplete, diminishing his reaction speed, and now he could only rely on the blood sword to conserve energy. With a light tap of his toes, he rose into the air, the blood sword turning sharply in mid-air with a ninety-degree twist, slashing fiercely towards the head of a fierce monkey!
The fierce monkey seemed to sense the might of this attack and hastily roared, raising its claws defensively, its fur bristling like sharp thorns!
Su Chen’s lips curled into a cruel smile, "You fell for it, you stupid monkey!"
What was originally a fatal blow suddenly turned into a horizontal slash just as it was about to strike the fierce monkey’s head, targeting the neck of another fierce monkey instead!
With a ripping sound, the unprepared fierce monkey suddenly had its head lopped off, and a fountain of blood gushed from its neck, drenching Su Chen in blood!
He shook the blood off his face vigorously, then a bright blue light surged from him, and a whirlpool of intense energy suddenly appeared in his palm. The whirlpool wrapped around the hilt of the blood sword, and using the hilt as a pivot, he swung the blood sword forcefully to the right!
Su Chen himself desperately rushed forward, embracing the last fierce monkey; he, bathed in blood, was like a desperate warrior, completely oblivious to the threat of death!
He shouted angrily, suppressing the intense pain from his wounds, and with half of his remaining Beast’s Qi Energy, he released a small but fierce storm of wind!
The storm quickly formed into a violent vortex, with each gust of wind like a blade, slashing dozens to hundreds of wounds on the back of the fierce monkey that Su Chen was clinging to, causing it to emit mournful cries, its massive fists pounding relentlessly on Su Chen’s back!
Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump!
With every heavy blow, Su Chen coughed up a mist of blood, and his vision blurred instantly!
Finally, the fierce monkey lost its strength, released its fists, and collapsed to the ground, with a bowl-sized wound gouged out by the Windburst Flame on its back, its flesh torn open, blood all drained, a ghastly sight. Su Chen fell to one knee, struggling to keep his eyes open, and saw the mane-bristling lion walking towards him.
His sword, flung out as he had planned, pierced the lioness’s forehead, killing her instantly. However, this provoked the once silent male lion into a furious rage.
It growled lowly, baring its sharp fangs, staring at the dying Su Chen with blood-red eyes.
Am I going to die? Why can’t I stand up? I don’t even have the strength to clench my fist. Su Chen’s mind buzzed; clearly, he had one-tenth of his Beast’s Qi Energy left, yet he couldn’t muster the power to use it.
Once again, he felt death creeping so close to him.
"I am Su Chen’s little wife, here to discuss something with him specifically!"
"Oh, you heartless traitor, only here a few years and you’ve already forgotten me. Sob, men really are no good."
In his dying moments, the face that flashed in his mind was Qi Ling’s innocent smile and teasing words, that face seemingly full of spring now gradually blurring...
The lion let out a deafening roar, then suddenly crouched, and leapt high into the air!
