Chapter 05: Decapitation

An astonishing event has occurred

When the long sword in Xia Li's hand was cut down to one third, it got stuck. Aaron's knight sword merely pierced the skin of the earth bear, failing to penetrate its heart.

Alas, with such a senior, you must be having a hard time as well

On the second day, as dawn broke, Aaron woke up Shari. After the two had eaten their provisions, they set off with renewed vigor.

Seeing Shali's gesture, Aaron slightly nodded and drew the knight's sword from his waist, encircling the earth bear alongside Shali.

Blood erupted from the wound like a fountain, transforming into a torrential rain of blood that fell from the sky

It is again Senior Noah; she is truly kind to you. First, it was the battle steps, and then the sword techniques. All of these are skills that can only be mastered by formal knights

Although it is a juvenile bear, its height of approximately 3.5 meters is almost comparable to that of two Aarons, exuding a formidable presence

Aaron took a deep breath, raised the knight's sword in his hand, and the fighting energy within him began to operate wildly along a peculiar route. The originally sharp blade suddenly glowed, gradually coating itself with a faint layer of white light

"Sigh." Aaron also sighed, then quickly realized. "No, don't change the subject on me, you rascal."

As the roar of the young bear just subsided, a similar roar suddenly echoed from afar, as if in response to the young bear's call

Aaron looked at him strangely, turning his head, "If I had to say, it should be surprise."

The stones on the ground bounced and rolled chaotically, demonstrating the unparalleled strength of the earth bear

No wonder no one dares to take action against the beasts; even a juvenile earth bear possesses such terrifying defensive capabilities. One can only imagine how formidable an adult would be. It is no surprise that even seasoned knights find such creatures troublesome; this time, they have truly encountered a formidable opponent.

The two exchanged a glance and both discovered the surprise in each other's eyes

It is too exaggerated

Xiali opened his mouth and mouthed the words: "One, two, three!"

The young bear that burst out of the cave immediately saw Aaron and Shari, and disregarding its wounds, it roared and charged forward, swinging a paw that was larger than Aaron's head towards him

Bump, bump, bump

"How is it?" he asked

Aaron gasped in shock, unable to help but glance at Xia Li, only to find that he, too, wore a face full of astonishment

The knight's sword cuts through the vast sky, resembling the brilliance beneath a clear sky, dazzling beyond compare

Boom

My name is Qingkong, taught to me by Senior Noah. Aaron answered honestly

Cut!

Aaron's face turned pale as he suddenly recalled Noah's stern demeanor while teaching him these skills and the hardships he had endured. He forced a laugh and said, "These... these are all thanks to the excellent guidance of my seniors"

Aaron instantly vanished from his original spot, as if he had transformed into a gentle breeze, a carefree zephyr drifting in the clear sky

The earth bear is a magical beast that resides in solitary and *illustrated* books. After being born and receiving its first feeding, it is driven away by its mother, and its survival entirely depends on its own abilities

If it were to be replaced with the crystal core of an adult bear, the price would be approximately ten times higher

"What is going on?" Aaron was perplexed.

What is there for me to be surprised about

The young bear looked at Aaron with blood-red eyes, and apart from the naked killing intent, there was no emotion in its scarlet gaze

However, this extremely resilient creature will most likely survive and gradually grow, barring any unforeseen circumstances

The harsh sound of friction arose as Aaron's knightly sword forcefully breached the bear's defenses, piercing through its chest, with the tip of the sword emerging from its back

Aaron nodded slightly, indicating that he understood

Xiali looked at Aaron with admiration, "It's truly impressive that you have mastered it."

Upon seeing the headless bear, the red-haired youth was momentarily taken aback, then he began to laugh, "Has it already been killed? Even though I rushed over upon hearing the call, I still arrived a step too late. Truly impressive, I... am becoming increasingly excited."

Aaron's toes barely touched the ground, and he shot out of the cave like an arrow released from a bow, with Xia Li closely following behind

"It's just a feeling." Xia Li shot a glare at Aaron, "Don't you have any feelings at all about personally slaying the Earth Bear and obtaining its crystal core?"

It was you who dealt the fatal blow, right? How do I feel about mhetushu.com?

Hiss... ...

As the two individuals rushed out of the cave, a painful roar echoed from within, so loud that the air seemed to ripple visibly, causing both of them to turn pale and feel a faint urge to vomit

"Oh no!" Xia Li's expression changed dramatically as he shouted, "Aaron, make it quick; if this continues, it will attract other earth bears."

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Aaron shook his head frantically, pointing at Xia Li and said, "I am surprised by you"

Fortunately, although the grizzly bear possesses astonishing defenses and immense strength, its speed is lamentably poor, allowing Aaron to escape from its massive paw with ease

Swordsmanship · Clear Sky

Although the sword of the Xia Li did not sever the head of the ground bear, it penetrated one-third of the way in, and a copious amount of blood gushed forth from the wound on the bear's neck, staining half of its body red

In a dream, the young bear was assassinated, suffering severe injuries and losing its sanity, completely going berserk. It charged out of the cave in a frenzy, leaving a footprint with every step, causing the earth to tremble violently with its movements

To be honest, facing the monster for the first time, Aaron indeed felt very nervous, his hand gripping the knight's sword became damp and hot, covered in sweat

Hmph

The corners of the red-haired youth's mouth curled slightly upward, revealing a bloodthirsty and sinister smile.

"It's so noisy!" the red-haired youth reprimanded unhappily, slightly assuming a stance and raising the spear in his hand. "Forget it, before I meet that person and the books, I might as well make do with you for now."

Go! Holding the head of the earth bear, Xia Li did not pause at all, taking two steps instead of three, swiftly rushing into the depths of the jungle

Well done!" Xia Li exclaimed excitedly, his body springing forth as he soared into the air, instantly rushing in front of the bear. With his right hand, he swung the long sword fiercely towards the wound on its neck.

Roar

Xiali silently drew out the long sword and made a gesture to Aaron, signaling him to take the opportunity to eliminate it now

"Aaron, do not confront it head-on; it cannot hold out for long," Xia Li shouted as a reminder.

Roar ! ! !

Aaron followed closely behind and also plunged into the jungle, disappearing from sight

Having spoken, a violent killing intent surged overwhelmingly towards the earth bear

The head of the earth bear has already been casually discarded, and the土黄色 crystal nucleus in his hand is the crystal nucleus of the earth bear, devoid of any impurities, more dazzling than crystal, reflecting brilliant light under the sunlight

Like the Kunpeng spreading its wings, graceful and composed, yet overwhelming and inescapable, the sword's body traces a marvelous arc in the air, once again cutting into the wound on the bear's neck.

At the same time, a similar radiance erupted from Aaron's knightly sword, piercing towards the heart of the earth bear

Swordsmanship · Unfolding Wings

Then let me ask you, your final sword strike should also be a sword technique, what is its name, and who taught you

The violent palm strike erupted with a thunderous roar; if this palm were to land, even ten Aarons would be reduced to nothing more than minced meat

"Surprised by the book? Indeed, it is quite astonishing. I did not expect the bear's defenses to be so formidable; I almost suffered a significant loss." Xia Li appeared to empathize deeply.

Five minutes later, a red-haired youth, bare-chested and holding a long spear, emerged from another direction

Deep in the jungle, Xia Li repeatedly gazed at the ochre crystal core in his hand, unable to help but smile.

The earth bear struck without success, roaring once more; its furious roar shattered the silent canopy, echoing above the jungle

... ...

Suddenly, a five-meter-tall earth bear charged out, and upon seeing the red-haired youth and the deceased young earth bear, its eyes immediately filled with red lines

Roar

Perhaps it was the blessing of fate, as the two individuals soon discovered a young bear in a cave.

Sympathetically patting Aaron on the shoulder, Shali sighed and said

chuckle

Retreat! As the incident occurred, Xia Li immediately shouted out.

If put up for auction, selling for three to five hundred gold coins is quite common

This time, the longsword displayed its unparalleled sharpness, effortlessly severing the head of the earth bear with a single stroke.

In the moment of counting to three, the fighting spirit within Xia Li erupted explosively, and the sword, entwined with blazing white light, swung towards the bear's head.

"The last sword strike, you used swordsmanship, didn't you? It was quite impressive. When did you learn this? I had no idea."

The cave discovered by Aaron was not deep; after walking about ten steps, he saw a young bear that was sound asleep
