Chapter 8: One Strike to Kill

It is not difficult to inflict a wound on a fang wolf, but killing a fang wolf is extremely challenging. The vitality of spiritual beasts is exceptionally strong; even a first-level spiritual beast cannot be easily slain by merely leaving a wound on its body.

He is genuinely worried about Jingyan, fearing that Jingyan cannot withstand the cold mockery and ridicule. He also feels that Jingyan's sudden decision to enter the Blackstone Mountain Range to hunt spirit beasts is driven by those harsh words. He knows that with Jingyan's current strength, entering the Blackstone Mountain Range to hunt spirit beasts, even the lowest-level first-tier spirit beasts, presents numerous challenges. However, he did not forcibly stop Jingyan from entering the Blackstone Mountain Range; Jingyan needs to understand certain truths on his own. He knows that with Jingyan's current strength, entering the Blackstone Mountain Range to hunt spirit beasts, even the lowest-level first-tier spirit beasts, presents numerous challenges. However, he did not forcibly stop Jingyan from entering the Blackstone Mountain Range; Jingyan needs to understand certain truths on his own.

It is now

The opportunity for Jingyan and others is precisely at the moment when the tusked wolf lowers its head

Generally, a martial artist at the fourth level of martial arts, even in a small team of five, would find it no easy task to kill a Fangtooth Wolf, requiring at least half a tea time of fierce combat. However, he, Jing Yan, effortlessly dispatched the first-level spirit beast, the Fangtooth Wolf, with a single sword strike, without any hesitation or delay.

Jing Yan squinted his eyes, sniffed the aroma, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth

At the moment his sword technique was unleashed, the Flowing Light Sword in Jing Yan's hand instinctively thrust towards a spot on the chest of the Fang-toothed Wolf

Jing Yan waited for a moment, and the Fangtooth Wolf completely perished. Jing Yan could sense that the vitality of the Fangtooth Wolf had been entirely extinguished

Do not rush

The howling beast, the wolf with fangs, discovered Jing Yan. It did not choose to flee; instead, it forcefully kicked off the ground with its four hooves, opened its gaping maw, and pounced towards Jing Yan.

Some truths cannot be understood simply by being told by others; often, one must comprehend them through personal insight

The Fangwolf is a type of first-level spirit beast, whose strength is not particularly formidable. However, it is not easy for a martial artist at the fourth level of martial arts to hunt down a Fangwolf. Typically, martial artists at the fourth level will form teams of several individuals to jointly surround and kill a first-level spirit beast like the Fangwolf

Certainly, in this outer area, the number of spirit beasts is also relatively scarce. After more than half an hour, not a single spirit beast has been seen.

Finally arrived. Jing Yan leaped down from the large tree, then held his breath and quickly concealed himself in that direction

At this moment, the tusked wolf did not make any sound. If it were another martial artist, even one at the sixth or seventh level of martial arts, they might not be able to detect the traces of the tusked wolf as Jing Yan did.

"Uncle Morning Star, I am leaving now." Jing Yan bid farewell to Jing Chenxing

Thank you, Uncle Morning Star. After receiving the Flowing Light Sword, Jing Yan bowed solemnly to Jing Chenxing.

Could it be that I am lucky and happened to strike the fatal spot of the Fangtooth Wolf?" Jing Yan glanced at the still bleeding wound of the Fangtooth Wolf and shook his head slightly

Go ahead, remember to be extremely careful. Moreover, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome. Look at your uncle; although he is disabled, he is still living well, isn't he? In this life, one cannot live under the gaze of others. The most important thing is not to let the words or opinions of others affect oneself

What is going on? Jing Yan was still somewhat incredulous as he recalled the entire process of hunting the tusked wolf just now

Why

In the current situation of the Jing family, it is unlikely that there is another person willing to present a fine weapon to Jing Yan

In the evening, Jing Yan officially entered the Blackstone Mountain Range

What is a tusked wolf?

Jing Yan retracted his arm, and the Flowing Light Sword was sheathed, while the Fang Wolf fell to the ground with a 'thud', stirring up a cloud of dust

The provisions I brought are sufficient for a month's consumption, so take your time. Jing Yan sat cross-legged on the trunk of a large tree, resting while replenishing some provisions and cool water

To be honest, Jing Yan had never imagined that hunting the Fangtooth Wolf would be so easy. Just after he discovered the Fangtooth Wolf, he was still preparing to engage in a fierce battle with it. Although his Autumn Wind Falling Leaves Sword technique had made significant progress, and despite having a high-quality weapon like the Liuguang Sword, the Fangtooth Wolf was, after all, a spiritual beast. How could it be easy to kill a Fangtooth Wolf?

As Jing Yan moved, the saber-toothed wolf instantly reacted, swiftly raising its head. However, the time taken to lower and then raise its head had already wasted a moment, and it was this brief interval that allowed Jing Yan to close the distance to its front.

Hoo hoo hoo! Within the nostrils of the fang wolf, there is only the air that is exhaled, with no air being inhaled

In Jingyan's eyes, although the speed of the Fangtooth Wolf was extremely swift, he found that he could clearly see every movement of the Fangtooth Wolf, and even the actions that the Fangtooth Wolf had yet to make could be anticipated by Jingyan.

Suddenly, Jing Yan's eyes brightened slightly. He quickly wiped the corner of his mouth, then stood up and looked in a certain direction.

Hmm?

The autumn wind blows and leaves fall like swords! At this moment, Jing Yan did not contemplate how he had discerned the movements of the saber-toothed wolf; he instinctively unleashed his swordsmanship

With a swift motion, the Flowing Light Sword precisely pierced the chest of the Fang Wolf

Indeed, it is a saber-toothed wolf. Soon, Jing Yan saw this saber-toothed wolf.

Awo! The entire body of the wolf with fangs convulsed violently, emitting a mournful howl. Blood gushed from its chest like a fountain

Jing Yan, waiting for an opportunity

After a few dozen breaths, Jing Yan suddenly sprang up, channeling his vital energy, wielding the Flowing Light Sword, and charged towards the Fang-toothed Wolf like lightning. The Fang-toothed Wolf was not very large in appearance, but its pair of enormous fangs made it look extremely fierce

Upon seeing the Fangtooth Wolf, Jing Yan did not immediately launch an attack, as the Fangtooth Wolf also possessed keen senses. If he recklessly charged forward, the Fangtooth Wolf might escape. Moreover, the speed of the Fangtooth Wolf was extremely fast; given Jing Yan's current realm, it would not be easy for him to pursue the wildly fleeing Fangtooth Wolf.

Because it is too easy

After cultivating the first divine skill of the Celestial Firmament, Jing Yan's five senses were greatly enhanced. Therefore, even though he was still quite far from the ferocious fang wolf, he was able to determine from the scent that there was a ferocious fang wolf in that location.

Jing Yan wandered around the outskirts of the mountain range for more than half an hour, yet he did not see any trace of other martial artists.

"You little rascal, are you still being polite with me?" Jing Chenxing said with a laugh, giving Jing Yan a pat on the shoulder

The tusked wolf raised its head, and with a pair of emerald green eyes, it saw the approaching human, Jing Yan

The mountains are extremely vast, therefore, although there are many warriors hunting spirit beasts in the Blackstone Mountain Range, encountering other warriors is not so easy

After leaving the Brilliant Weapon Shop, Jing Yan prepared a considerable amount of provisions and set off without delay from Donglin City, heading towards the Blackstone Mountain Range
