Chapter 374: Yin of Tai Chi
Chapter 374: Yin of Tai Chi
Chu Long and Long Xiaoqi's eyes widened when they saw the weapon. They were truly shocked by it. But before they could even ask, Xiang Ning had already rushed into the fray. Chu Long and Long Xiaoqi snapped out of it and went into battle as well, still shocked by Xiang Nings weapon.
Xiang Ning had also attracted the attention of the regular people from within the train.
Mom! Look! Look at that big brother! Whats he holding in his hands?
Thats a very strong weapon. The beasts will surely be held back by that big brother.
Damn, I thought Id die here today. With someone as strong as him, I feel so much safer now.
Yeah! Look at that weapon. He must be someone extremely strong and powerful. We should be safe.
Xiang Ning didnt let them down. He was like a wolf in a pack of sheep as he dove in and killed the beasts. With his current cultivation of tier four, eight-star, unless a tier six beast appeared, none of the other beasts could stop him.
When the other martial artists saw that there was someone that strong among their ranks they felt more relaxed. Without much pressure, they could fully utilize their strength as they wished when they fought the beasts.
The beasts, who had thought they would be feasting, were instead turned into the prey. The humans fighting strength was overwhelming, especially the invisible pressure that suppressed their full strength.
That pressure was emanating from the Devourer. After slaying so many beastsespecially those at the apex of their speciesthe emanations from the blood within it were so strong that even Beast Kings had to be wary of it.
If the Devourer was reborn as a beast it would easily be tier seven, tier eight, or possibly even higher.
It was a complete massacre. The Thunderclap Mastiff was no longer calm as it locked onto Xiang Ning. It was ready to pounce as it bared its fangs.
Chu Long was also a ferocious warrior on the battlefield. Currently, his cultivation was stronger than Xiang Nings. His weapon was very strong, too, as he mowed down the beasts as easily as Xiang Ning.
Back in Heavenly Star City, Chu Long was also known as the Smiling Demon. He was usually a peaceful and cheerful guy, but he was a ruthless killing machine on the battlefield as his attacks were much stronger and fiercer than others. His objective this time was the Thunderclap Mastiff. In order to reach it, he had been killing all of the beasts in his way. But before he could even touch its fur, the Thunderclap Mastiff was already ready to pounce. He looked in the direction of where the beast was looking and saw Xiang Ning in danger.
Xiang Ning! Watch out!
Xiang Ning had already noticed the danger, thanks to his Combat Instinct, and was prepared to counterattack even without Chu Longs warning. He was confident in doing so, but he wasnt sure whether the electricity from the beast would paralyze him or not. What if he blocked the first attack but wouldnt be able to do the same on the second attack?
Ding, 24,000 Fury Points spent
Martial Skill: Dancing Peacock (Awakened)
Ding, 80,000 Fury Points spent
Marital Skill: Dancing Peacock (Peak Mastery)
Congratulations on obtaining Body Constitution: Yin of Tai Chi
Xiang Ning had spent a total of 104,000 Fury Points to raise Dancing Peacock to Peak Mastery, causing the alarm from his Combat Instinct to drastically reduce in intensity. That meant that the Thunderclap Mastiffs attack was no longer as dangerous as before. But he was surprised at what he got after raising Dancing Peacock to Peak Mastery.
Body Constitution? Yin of Tai Chi? He temporarily put it to the back of his mind as the beast had pounced on him.
Watch out! Chu Long shouted as he was running toward Xiang Ning.
Long Xiaoqi shot out ten needles at the leg joints of the Thunderclap Mastiff, trying to slow down its advance.
But both of them had severely underestimated the beasts speed. They had thought it was only capable of launching electrical attacks from the rear, but to think that its close combat capabilities were far superior to its electrical attacks.
No one knew Xiang Nings true strength, but both Chu Long and Long Xiaoqi clearly felt that his cultivation wasnt at tier five or above; there was no way he could block the attack. Three seconds later, they saw the Thunderclap Mastiffs paw falling toward Xiang Ning as electricity crackled and distorted the air with its heat.
Xiang Ning raised his sword, but instead of swinging it with all his might to block the attack, its movement was as soft as falling leaves.
Was he underestimating the beast? No, the moment the sword touched the paws, lightning exploded and blinded everyone with an intense flare of light. The Thunderclap Mastiffs attack was deflected and its body thrown forward by its momentum.
What the fuck?! Chu Long always felt that he was someone with better upbringing, considering that those who could enter Glory Martial University were all more or less cultured people. But today his tongue slipped as he saw Xiang Nings technique.
One of the ladies further away said in awe, Using softness to conquer strength! He moves like a dragon in the sea! Hes amazing!
The scenario that they had been worried about hadnt happened, as the electricity wasnt effective against Xiang Ning considering that he was not grimacing in pain.
That was even out of Xiang Nings expectations, as he had thought of experiencing the pain from being electrocuted to see if it was possible to accumulate Experience Points. But to think that the electricity was ineffective; it was as if it had met rubber.
He didnt hold back. Mountain-Splitting Slash!
The attack struck true and blood splattered out from the side of the beast.
The Devourer was also interested in the blood of special beasts like Thunderclap Mastiffs, even though they werent as strong as those at the apex of their species. It was good to change up its diet from time to time.
The Thunderclap Mastiff didnt die from the attack, but there was a deep wound on its side as blood flowed without stopping. It would be even more dangerous to attack it nowa wounded beast was even stronger and should be defended against even more!
The Thunderclap Mastiff roared in anger as electricity flew everywhere. Even its fur was standing up!
Trying to see whos more fierce, eh? Xiang Ning gripped the Devourer with both hands. Eight Gates, Gate of Origin, Gate of Resting, Gate of Life, open!
