Chu Ming didn’t hesitate; utilizing Lightweight Skill, he instantly flew through the gap between the Six-tailed Black Cat Demon and the cave wall. Although the pulling force of Flowing Clouds Like Water wasn’t weak, given the strength of the Six-tailed Black Cat Demon, it would probably take just one breath to tear through it.
Sure enough, just as Chu Ming passed through the gap, a powerful tearing force broke the space instantly, and a strong gust mixed with lethal energy blasted towards him.
With an incredibly calm gaze, Chu Ming clenched his left fist tightly, threads of electric light crackling on it. His muscles bulged as he unleashed a rapid, fierce punch, blue light blazing like a dragon, dazzling beyond compare.
A tremendous force emanated from Chu Ming’s left fist. The Six-tailed Black Cat Demon’s battle power was a level stronger than Chu Ming’s Body Refining Power, instantly tearing through Chu Ming’s left fist, revealing white bones beneath the blood-soaked skin.
However, leveraging the powerful recoil, Chu Ming’s figure instantly shot through the gap towards the cave entrance. The scenery on both sides blurred rapidly as it receded, and he could clearly hear the heavy pounding of the ferocious beast behind him, causing the entire cave to tremble slightly.
A glimmer appeared in Chu Ming’s vision, which gradually expanded and quickly filled the entire world. Once he flew out of the cave, Chu Ming flew northward for over ten more miles before stopping steadily. The Star Trace Sword in his hand sparkled with a cold light as he waited silently for the Six-tailed Black Cat Demon to appear.
The surrounding trees swayed despite the lack of wind. Threads of black lines wriggled incessantly on the ground. A black shadow leaped towards Chu Ming, stirring up clouds of dust.
A faint hint of excitement flashed in Chu Ming’s eyes. Before the Six-tailed Black Cat Demon stopped, he moved, transforming into a sharp Sword Light, appearing above the demon’s head in an instant, and slashed downward. To the naked eye, waves of white expanded rapidly from the center of the blade.
Sparks flew as Chu Ming’s body tilted, and a dark, sharp claw mark appeared on his left side. The fierce gale from the claws stung his face.
Chu Ming’s figure shattered instantly, turning into the Void. A white trail streaked through the space, with his body reappearing a hundred meters away. Numerous icy, phantasmal Flying Swords whirled around him, heading to slice through the Six-tailed Black Cat Demon.
Strings of Blood Pearls flew through the air. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of tiny blood marks appeared on the Six-tailed Black Cat Demon, making its entire body look pitiful.
Chu Ming frowned, knowing that despite appearing severely injured, the attack had barely any real effect on the demon.
The Six-tailed Black Cat Demon’s form twisted, and a terrifying black light bullet shot from its mouth, exploding the air within a hundred meters, turning all nearby trees to dust.
"Red Lotus Rain!" Googlᴇ search ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
A burst of domineering red light erupted from the Star Trace Sword. Chu Ming’s figure blurred and retreated several hundred meters. His white robes fluttered, and his black hair flew wildly.
The black light bullet was cleaved in half, forming a wave of black light expanding a hundred meters. Before the swirling dust had settled, Chu Ming stepped forward, raising the Star Trace Sword above his head. A vague, somewhat ephemeral Sword Light streamed out.
The black wave was instantly cut in two. The Six-tailed Black Cat Demon narrowed its eyes, turning vertical and its pale yellow pupils began to glow red. It leaped forward, its front claws shattering the Sword Light in mid-air.
Cling, cling, cling...
The Six-tailed Black Cat Demon’s claws were incredibly solid, surpassing steel. It swung its claws fiercely, trying to tear Chu Ming to shreds. Yet with the cover of Soul Power, the demon’s every move was perfectly displayed in Chu Ming’s mind, allowing him to dodge every attack flawlessly.
Sparks flew from the Star Trace Sword, and luckily, Chu Ming had achieved the Heart Sword Realm. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand such a dense barrage of attacks. At this realm, Chu Ming could achieve Unity of Heart and Hand, directing the Sword Light wherever his thoughts led, maximizing his impact with minimal effort.
Just as the Six-tailed Black Cat Demon pounced with its front claws, it opened its mouth wide, puking out a foul-smelling black mist towards Chu Ming, turning the surrounding space into a dark, corrosive void.
A gleam flashed in Chu Ming’s eyes. The Star Trace Sword lifted suddenly, a blurry Sword Light piercing up from beneath the Six-tailed Black Cat Demon. Sparks flashed across its chest, and its body shot upwards, surrounded by Power Rules and coated in Sword Light.
The corrosive black mist was extremely potent, cracking and shattering the Sword Light protecting Chu Ming. The Sword Light dissolved like paper burning in a fire.
Chu Ming spun rapidly in mid-air, slashing the demon’s tail with his sword. The Sword Light blurred, reaching an extreme speed, and with no forewarning, the demon’s tail was severed at the root, spewing blood.
A sharp scream echoed from the Six-tailed Black Cat Demon’s mouth. Its eyes, filled with rage, abruptly calmed. Turning away, the demon tried to flee, paying no more attention to Chu Ming.
Laughing coldly, Chu Ming wasn’t about to let the demon escape. He had been entangled with the Six-tailed Black Cat Demon for so long, precisely to find an opportunity to sever its tail, recalling the words of the Ancient Sword Emperor.
The space rippled like water as two streaks of sharp light flashed from Chu Ming’s sword, slicing through the void and piercing into the demon’s body, cutting off its tail. The Iron Armor of the Six-tailed Black Cat Demon, already broken, was no match for Chu Ming’s sword edge.
The demon’s body stiffened and instantly collapsed to the ground. Streams of bright red blood flowed from its dark fur.
Chu Ming exhaled lightly, sheathing the Star Trace Sword. He flickered several times, arriving beside the demon’s corpse. His right hand explored the body briefly before retrieving a fist-sized Blood Pearl, emitting a gentle blood light. He could feel the vigorous Blood Qi inside; just holding it made his blood and flesh particles quiver with excitement.
The Blood Pearl of the Six-tailed Black Cat Demon!
Picking up the Star Trace Sword, Chu Ming dug a large pit nearby, tossing the demon’s corpse into it and covering it with soil before disappearing into the forest.
As for Liu Xuan, he paid no mind. Once he refined the Six-tailed Black Cat Demon’s Blood Pearl, breaking through the Primordial Body Refining Technique to the Sixth Layer wouldn’t be difficult. At that point, even Saints would pose little threat. If it came to face-off, he wouldn’t be afraid.
