“Quick, grab it! Don't let it run away!”
Lin Ye sprang up from the ground, grabbed the Fengwei Chicken by the neck, and tumbled into a nearby pile of grass.
In its panic, the Fengwei Chicken flapped its wings, constantly striking Lin Ye’s body.
Its sharp feathers, like blades, instantly cut Lin Ye into a bloody mess.
“Quick, stab it to death!” Lin Ye roared, his hands and feet firmly pinning down the Fengwei Chicken’s body.
Zhao Shijie, with a swift move, raised his long spear and plunged it fiercely into the Fengwei Chicken’s body.
Pfft, blood splattered everywhere.
This thoroughly ignited the Fengwei Chicken's will to survive; it suddenly broke free from Lin Ye's restraint, and its wings transformed into a silver flash, slashing towards Zhao Shijie.
Pfft—
At the crucial moment, Zhao Shijie slightly turned his body, but he was still grazed by the wing blade, and a gush of blood sprayed from his chest.
“Cut off its head!”
At this moment, Lin Ye seemed to have forgotten his injuries, grabbing the long sword from the ground and charging forward.
But someone was faster than him. Qin Zhenhua, who had been waiting for an opportunity, let out a strange cry from his mouth, gripped the hilt of his saber tightly with both hands, and aimed at the Fengwei Chicken’s neck, bringing it down.
Pfft—
The chicken's head flew high, and blood, like a fountain, gushed from the severed neck, splattering onto the several people.
The Fengwei Chicken was not completely dead; it stumbled a few steps before collapsing with a thud.
“Get out of here quickly.”
Zhao Shijie clutched his chest, staggering back into the forest.
Ye Wuyai and Qin Zhenhua picked up the injured Lin Ye and hurriedly plunged into the thicket.
The four of them lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
“This, this game, is, is too awesome.”
“I just thought I was in reality.”
Ye Wuyai said, raising his arm to wipe some blood from Lin Ye’s body and sniffing it.
“Even the smell of blood is exactly the same.”
Qin Zhenhua tremblingly raised his own hand, his eyes filled with unconcealed excitement, and murmured, “I just… killed a demonic beast!”
“This bloody battle, this is a man’s romance, it’s so damn exhilarating!”
“You weren't injured, of course it’s exhilarating, damn it, it hurts me to death!”
Zhao Shijie rolled his eyes, pulled two healing pills from his pocket, and handed them to the dying Lin Ye.
The two swallowed the hemostatic pills, and in a short while, their wounds slowly healed, leaving only faint scars.
“These pills are truly amazing. Such serious injuries healed in an instant,” Zhao Shijie said, touching the scar on his chest, sighing with emotion.
“And they’re not expensive, just a little contribution value.” Lin Ye propped himself up, moving his arms a few times.
“Oh, by the way, how much experience do you get for killing a Fengwei Chicken?”
“10 points,” Qin Zhenhua answered honestly.
“Holy crap, that much?” The three of them widened their eyes, then their eyes lit up one by one.
“So, if I just kill five Fengwei Chickens, I can reach the Smelting Body Realm?”
Zhao Shijie, his face full of excitement, grabbed the long spear beside him and said to the three, “Let’s go, continue fighting!”
“Damn it, we’re definitely breaking through to the Smelting Body Realm today!”
...
Inside the thatched hut, Chu Huaian stared at the projection on the light screen, shaking his head slightly.
The fighting style of this group of people made him feel a bit ashamed.
Glancing at the five cultivation techniques placed on the table, Chu Huaian took out a pile of spirit stones from his storage ring, set up a small spirit gathering array for himself, and began to cultivate.
The spirit stones he currently possessed were enough for Chu Huaian to break through to the Qi Refining Stage. Coupled with the Body Tempering Stage pills gifted by the system, in just a day and a half, his realm broke through from Body Tempering Stage First Order to Body Tempering Stage Second Order.
If he hadn’t deliberately suppressed it, breaking through to Fifth Order in one day would have been no problem.
For the past three years, Chu Huaian had been replaying that battle constantly. The opponent's realm was similar to his, but after a dozen exchanges, he was utterly defeated.
The reason lay in his physique, so Chu Huaian planned to thoroughly hone his Smelting Body Realm.
Besides that, he also needed some auxiliary materials to strengthen his physique, such as demonic beast essence blood, preferably from powerful bloodline demonic beasts.
There were also such items in the shop, but currently, the sect's level was not high enough, so he did not have the authority to purchase them.
All in all, if Chu Huaian wanted to break through in a short time, he had to recruit more players and raise the sect's level.
In the evening, Chu Huaian was awakened by a rapid knocking sound.
“Xian Ge, this is bad, a group of demonic beasts is rushing towards us!”
Upon hearing this, Chu Huaian’s eyes narrowed slightly. He grabbed the flying sword beside him and rushed out of the room.
“Xian Ge, quickly go save Zhao Shijie and the others.” Jiang Xiaoxiao pointed nervously to the secret forest not far away.
Less than two hundred meters from the courtyard, Zhao Shijie and the other three were covered in blood, running desperately towards him like mad, shouting, “Xian Ge, help!”
Behind them, more than a dozen demonic beasts were in hot pursuit.
Chu Huaian roughly scanned them. Most of these demonic beasts were at the early Body Tempering Stage, with only one Iron-Armed Ape at the mid Body Tempering Stage.
He had intended to activate the sect protection array, but then reconsidered. It was a good opportunity to practice with this group of demonic beasts.
Clang—
The flying sword was unsheathed.
Chu Huaian leaped with his sword, standing alone with his sword in front of the courtyard.
“Xian Ge, help!”
The four of them frantically hid inside the courtyard, bending over and panting heavily, their eyes fixed intently on Chu Huaian’s back.
“So many demonic beasts, can Xian Ge handle them?” Jiang Xiaoxiao showed a worried expression.
“He should be able to, right? After all, he’s the NPC of the Novice Village , he must have some skills, right?” Lin Ye said uncertainly.
“How about we go out and help him?” Ye Wuyai, clutching his broken arm, suggested to the others.
But no sooner had he spoken than he saw Chu Huaian, in the afterglow of the setting sun, transform into an afterimage, engaging in battle with the charging demonic beasts.
Before the four could react, one demonic beast corpse after another fell into pools of blood.
For the last remaining Iron-Armed Ape, Chu Huaian put away his flying sword and engaged it in a strength-based close-quarters combat.
Bang, bang—
Fists met flesh, and the man and beast fought fiercely, making everyone watch with bated breath.
After dozens of exchanges, Chu Huaian no longer held back. He punched the Iron-Armed Ape’s lower jaw, then leaped high again, raising his high kick and chopping down forcefully.
Boom—
Dust flew, and the ground cracked into fissures.
This wasn't over yet. Chu Huaian descended from the sky, his knees like two heavy hammers, smashing directly onto the Iron-Armed Ape's chest.
Bang, with the final punch, the Iron-Armed Ape’s head exploded with a boom, white and red splattering everywhere.
Chu Huaian seemed to have anticipated this outcome, as his body suddenly retreated, floating into the courtyard.
“Gulp…”
Looking at the ground full of incomplete corpses, the five of them swallowed their saliva.
The scene of the battle just now was truly too shocking. The graceful figure and the violent aesthetics were deeply etched into their minds.
Although they knew this was just a game, the immersive feeling still made them feel fear.
Especially Jiang Xiaoxiao, who kept screaming and covering her eyes, afraid to watch.
“You can deal with these corpses outside yourselves. The demonic beast meat from the Smelting Body Realm can help you break through faster, like making some barbecue or something.”
Chu Huaian walked towards the house with his hands behind his back, not forgetting to add before reaching the door, “There are seasonings in the kitchen cabinet. Remember to add more chili and cumin.”
Creak, the door closed.
