When the Kai Ming Beast's nine pairs of eyes simultaneously locked onto him, Lin Jichen had already moved!
Once he decided to act, he wouldn't hesitate or look back!
Lin Jichen's figure blurred, transforming into a fleeting shadow.
As he approached the tree hole, he slashed out a Sword Qi from a distance!
Lin Jichen didn't want to test the waters; he directly used a Martial Arts Technique against his opponent.
With the Ten Thousand Demon Sect in the Thunder Marsh, he had to complete any task as quickly as possible.
The Sword Qi was like frost, a white line tearing through the sky, swift as lightning, fast as the wind, and naturally perfect!
It precisely struck the Kai Ming Beast, which had just woken from its sweet dream.
[Slow: Reduces the opponent's speed by 30%, lasts for 8 seconds.]
Lin Jichen thought it was a pity that the freezing attribute of Frost Moon Slash didn't trigger.
Otherwise, his Dizzying Sword Qi could have perfectly followed up.
The combo he imagined couldn't be executed.
But Lin Jichen also saw the attributes of this Kai Ming Beast.
[Great Monster: Kai Ming Beast]
[Strength: Early Golden Elixir]
[Health: 44030/45000]
[Heart Protection: 40]
[Skills: Heaven-Opening Sonic Wave, Three Thousand Thunderclouds, Beast Spirit Body, Eight-Directional Axe Might, Sky-Splitting Thunder Punishment]
Fortunately, this was just an early Golden Elixir Kai Ming Beast; he could still handle it.
But looking at these attributes, it was far superior to the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect's Golden Elixir.
As the realm gets higher, whether it's players, NPCs, or monsters, the gaps between everyone become more pronounced.
This is especially evident within the same realm.
Li Chang'an's Golden Core Realm was clearly inferior to this Kai Ming Beast.
The injured Kai Ming Beast leaped out of the tree hole, its nine heads simultaneously roaring at Lin Jichen!
Heaven-Opening Sonic Wave!
The sound was like thunder!
In that instant, Lin Jichen was stunned on the spot.
[-2080! Stunned for 2 seconds!]
[Stun status: Tenacity offset, lasts for 1.6 seconds.]
Lin Jichen's tenacity was 20%, which shortened the stun duration, but the Kai Ming Beast still used this blink of an eye to close in on him.
The Kai Ming Beast swung its giant paw, slapping Lin Jichen away and creating a large crater.
In the blink of an eye, he lost over three thousand health points. Even with a health bar of seventeen thousand, at this rate, it wouldn't be enough to withstand a few more hits from the Kai Ming Beast.
At this moment, Lin Jichen had regained his mobility.
He charged forward again, like a moth to a flame!
His right hand held the sword, his aura soaring to the sky!
In an instant, sword shadows flickered around him, and white Sword Qi flashed through the air, appearing and disappearing in a blink.
The Sword Qi exploded inch by inch on the Kai Ming Beast's body, like the sound of firecrackers.
Sword marks began to appear all over the Kai Ming Beast, but its self-healing ability was extremely strong, often healing a wound within seconds.
Lin Jichen had dealt with such great monsters before and knew that the Kai Ming Beast's vitality was extremely tenacious.
So his attacks were like a storm, not daring to pause.
[Critical Hit! -280!]
The damage was low, but it was much stronger than when he fought Li Chang'an at the mid Foundation Establishment stage.
Panda Xiong didn't have Lin Jichen's high tenacity and had just recovered from the stun, immediately joining the battle.
One man and one bear surrounded the Kai Ming Beast, attacking it.
"Panda Xiong! Knock it away!"
Seeing Panda Xiong coming to help, Lin Jichen quickly commanded.
Panda Xiong also wanted to try out his new skill. With a roar, his entire bear body shot towards the Kai Ming Beast like a blazing meteor.
"Earth-Shattering Collision!"
The Kai Ming Beast, not knowing what was happening, saw a round ball flying towards it.
Panda Xiong collided with the Kai Ming Beast, sending it flying several meters into the air.
It landed back on the ground a second later.
"Well done!" Lin Jichen praised, following up with two more sword strikes.
The Kai Ming Beast, now irritated, had its nine heads simultaneously spew flames, like nine fire dragons, aiming to engulf Lin Jichen.
But Lin Jichen had anticipated this and flipped in mid-air, landing outside the range of the fire dragon's attack.
Panda Xiong wasn't so lucky, wrapped in flames, howling in pain, rolling on the ground to extinguish the fire.
The Kai Ming Beast, missing its target, was unwilling to give up. Countless light orbs floated from its body, gathering together to form a giant transparent sphere, with lightning flashing inside, like a miniature thundercloud world.
Three Thousand Thunderclouds!
The thundercloud flew above Lin Jichen's head and exploded!
In that instant, Lin Jichen felt the raging lightning rampaging above him.
The next second, he used 'Wind Thunder Sword,' riding the tail of the lightning to flash out.
Unlucky Panda Xiong was hit again, his health bar halved.
Lin Jichen couldn't care about him now, using the Wind Thunder Sword's dash to launch a fierce attack!
His Wind Thunder Sword was always used for offense, catching the Kai Ming Beast off guard.
An unprepared Kai Ming Beast had one of its heads slashed by the Wind Thunder Sword, blood gushing out.
The beast face split open from the middle, a clear and terrifying wound running through the entire face.
[Critical Hit! -2580!]
The Kai Ming Beast roared like a great bell, one head severely injured.
But the perfected Wind Thunder Sword not only had a considerable 1100 damage.
After casting, it also increased speed by 60% for 5 seconds!
At this moment, Lin Jichen was as swift as lightning, leaving only afterimages as he moved.
No matter how the Kai Ming Beast swung its giant paws, it couldn't touch even a corner of Lin Jichen's clothes.
On the contrary, Lin Jichen continued to strike while dodging.
But this 'joy' was short-lived, as the five seconds quickly passed.
Lin Jichen's speed returned to normal, and he recalled Panda Xiong.
He had no choice; if Panda Xiong took a few more hits, he would die on the spot.
He wanted Panda Xiong to gain experience, but he feared the stupid bear would die again, losing not only experience but also loyalty.
Seeing Lin Jichen slow down, the impatient Kai Ming Beast swung its giant paw, golden spiritual power gathering in its palm.
The Kai Ming Beast's paw, like a heavenly drum, smashed towards Lin Jichen's head!
Lin Jichen wouldn't be so easily hit.
The beast's paw struck the ground, creating a crater as if hit by dozens of bombs, shaking the surrounding ground, the sound echoing through the heavens and earth.
The shockwave blasted the surrounding vegetation flat.
Seeing its attack fail, the Kai Ming Beast suddenly spoke human words.
"Foolish and insignificant human, you have truly angered me!"
With that, the Kai Ming Beast's body straightened, transforming.
In the blink of an eye, it became a nine-headed white-haired giant.
And in its hands, two golden giant axes appeared!
