Chapter 110: Farewell, Tuchun Beast

  Sunset Valley, on the edge of a dense forest!

  Shi Sheng and Lin Wan'er stepped on the flying sword, suspended in mid-air, looking at the familiar environment. Shi Sheng couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia, thinking back to when he formed a team with Guan Ping and others to hunt down demonic beasts, almost getting surrounded by a pack of wolves and unable to escape.

  "Are there any monsters here?" Lin Wan'er looked around at the quiet surroundings.

  "Fortunately, we're on the outskirts and demonic beasts usually don't come out during the day!" Shi Sheng didn't plan to venture deeper, although he had advanced to the Yuanhe Realm, with Lin Wan'er present, Shi Sheng was worried about accidents.

  The two finally rested in the distance, and by nightfall, the scene here had changed. The original fog in the valley spread to the periphery, a sense of latent crisis surged into Lin Wan'er's heart.

  "Don't be afraid, Wanyu sister. At night, the fog will spread here, and only then will the monsters come out. I won't take action first, let you practice your five-element basic spells!" Shi Sheng comforted her with a sentence, and Lin Wanyu nodded in agreement.

  Before long, two demon beasts rushed out of the dense forest, killing each other. If it were in the past, Shi Sheng would naturally watch the changes with a mantis catching a cicada. However, now that he was in the Yuanhe realm, those two low-level demon beasts posed no threat to him at all.

  With a flick of his sleeve, two golden talismans were deployed, covering Lin Wan'er and himself. He then walked towards the two beasts, which turned out to be two hunting leopards. Seeing them approach, the leopards stopped fighting and let out a loud roar at the duo.

  Although Lin Wan'er had a protective light shield to protect her body, it was her first time experiencing this kind of fierce battle, and she couldn't help but feel a little afraid. Her face turned pale as she saw the leopard pounce towards her. Lin Wan'er only managed to conjure up a small fireball before hastily retreating. To be honest, Lin Wan'er's strength was not enough to kill a high-ranking Spirit Linking Stage leopard, which was equivalent to a human cultivator at the Sea Calming Stage.

  Two dull thuds, the leopard's two front paws slapped on the light shield, causing the light shield to tremble slightly, but it was harmless. Lin Wan'er saw this and slowly let out a breath, seeming to have gained a sense of security. She then ignored the leopard's fierce attack and began to cast her Five Elements spell on her own.

  Gusts of wind blades, ice cones, and fireballs struck the cheetah's body, but it only suffered some superficial wounds without any fatal injuries. Shi Sheng watched for a while before suddenly sighing, thinking that he should buy a spiritual artifact for Lin Wan'er, but had forgotten about it. Relying solely on his five-elemental spells was not enough to kill the two demonic beasts in front of him.

  However, it's clear that there's nowhere to buy any spiritual artifacts now, so Lin Wan'er can only practice her five-element magic and gain some practical experience in actual combat, lest she be too afraid to make a move against the enemy in the future.

  But in a short while, Lin Wan'er seemed to have exhausted her spiritual energy, her face turned slightly pale, and her movements were no longer swift.

  At the sight, Shi Sheng raised his hand and a two-inch long, cyan sword energy composed of fierce flames appeared at his fingertips. With a flick of his wrist, the sword energy plunged into the body of the hunting leopard that was attacking him, which was precisely the first layer of the Burning Heaven Sword Technique.

  The poor leopard didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry, it fell to the ground and twitched a few times before losing its breath. Due to the Flame Heaven Sword Technique being a fire attribute technique, the leopard's corpse instantly turned into ashes.

  Another leopard saw the situation and didn't have the guts to attack, it turned around and became a black blur, running quickly into the depths of the forest. But how could Shi Sheng let it go? A sword aura shot out, and in an instant, the leopard was turned into flying ash.

  "Is Sister Wan'er okay?" Shi Sheng came before Lin Wan'er and asked.

  Nothing's wrong, it's just that this leopard is quite resilient, having been hit by so many of my five-element spells and yet still being unscathed!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed.

  "Hehe, this is equivalent to a humanized sea boundary. Moreover, the demon beasts are generally stronger than humans of the same level. Besides, Sister Wan'er doesn't have much actual combat experience now, and she doesn't even have a spiritual artifact in hand. In the past, when we formed teams to hunt and kill, it would take many people to trap them, and we had to use spiritual artifacts too. This time, let's just consider it as training for Sister Wan'er!" Shi Sheng and the other person sat cross-legged, chatting with each other.

  In this way, once Lin Wan'er rested and recovered her spiritual power, the two of them would venture a little deeper. Whenever they encountered a demonic beast, they would lure it out, and Shi Sheng would watch as Lin Wan'er attacked the beast, occasionally offering a few pointers. When Lin Wan'er grew tired, Shi Sheng would casually release a sword energy to finish off the beast, and the two would continue to rest.

  Seven or eight days later, as the two gradually went deeper, even the top-level demon beasts appeared, and even the protective spiritual light transformed by the two people's golden symbols was shaken, but fortunately, there was no major problem for a moment.

  Lin Wan'er is no longer afraid of anything now, and her speed of attack is getting faster and faster. However, the power of the Five Elements spell is not very great, but this can't be blamed on Lin Wan'er, after all, her realm is limited.

  Suddenly, another top-tier demon beast appeared. Shi Yun swung his hand and a sharp sword energy shot out. The silver-haired demonic wolf swiped its front paw to block the sword energy, but its paw was injured and had a slightly charred smell.

  "Although the boundary is equivalent to a humanized sea of great perfection, its strength can absolutely suppress a great perfection. It seems that the first layer of the Burning Heaven Sword Intent has no harm to it!" Shi Sheng said, his mind moving slightly.

  A fierce flame flashed before him, a sword blade about one foot long, emitting a cyan-colored flame, suddenly appeared and shot towards the Silver-haired Demon Wolf as Shi Sheng raised his hand.

  The Silver-headed Demon Wolf seemed to have sensed the danger, hastily stretching out its front paws to resist, and made a posture as if ready to escape. However, the sword's edge was too sharp, far surpassing the first layer of sword energy. Starting from the Silver-headed Demon Wolf's front paws, with one slash, it split the beast in two, instantly turning into flying ash.

  "This damned monster, I don't believe it can't be beaten to death!"

  Lin Wan'er unleashed a series of swift wind blades and five-element spells, looking extremely familiar with the moves, but her attacks seemed slightly lacking in power. Just as she was about to exhaust herself, the demon beast's body shook violently, and it was struck by a cyan sword aura from behind, instantly turning into a blazing inferno. Lin Wan'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, hastily sitting down to meditate and focus her mind.

  "Wan Er Jie can't be killed, no worries, there's Ah Sheng to finish her off!"

  So, Shi Sheng didn't use the spiritual treasure and continued to practice the Huo Tian Sword Technique. He found that this technique was quite powerful, and to be honest, it wasn't bad at all. However, for some reason, he always had a feeling of being cheated.

  Lin Wan'er's mastery of the Five Elements spell had also become more proficient, and most importantly, she had tempered her mind, no longer afraid to take action due to fear.

  More than a month later, just as Shi Sheng and the others were about to withdraw, a huge flying bird suddenly flew over, and Shi Sheng narrowed his eyes.

  "Sparrowhawk? Heh heh, last time it was because I couldn't fly and you escaped from me, but now my attack power is enough to kill you even without using the flying sword! As soon as the words were spoken, Shi Sheng raised his hand and pointed, a sharp sword aura shot out, instantly piercing the sparrowhawk and turning it into a ball of flames in mid-air."

  "Huh? Even last time, it didn't seem this weak. Has it become too strong?" Just as Shí Shēng was puzzled, Lín Wǎn'ér's face suddenly changed drastically.

  "Be careful, Ah Sheng!" Before Lin Wan'er's words had even faded away, the earth behind Shi Sheng erupted in a shower of mud and debris. A massive creature, about ten feet tall, with golden fur covering its body, emerged from the ground. It was ape-like but not quite an ape, radiating an aura of ferocity.

  "Not good, the Crystalline Earth Beast!" Shi Sheng had just turned his head when he blurted out these words. The earth beast then looked at the dead hawk and its eyes revealed a fierce glow. Its huge mouth opened wide as it pounced towards Shi Sheng. (End of this chapter, next chapter will be even more exciting!)

  I'm so frustrated! I spent over half an hour setting up a writing software in a small black room, and my old computer's hard drive took forever to transfer the files. But this time, I finally splurged on a decent computer - it's second-hand, but it cost 1,500 yuan, with an i3 configuration and integrated graphics card. The seller said it's really good, and it's way faster than my old single-core laptop. Using this new computer is such a pleasure! It's so fast, even opening a folder doesn't lag. Hehe, I won't say anything else for now. I'll just organize my files tonight and update again tomorrow. Finally experiencing the joy of no lag! Everyone get some rest, and I'll make up for the missed updates tomorrow!
