Chapter 14 Two Years Later (Part 1)

  The sunshine is beautiful.

  The sun shone brightly in the sky, casting a golden glow, but it couldn't penetrate the dense forest's obstruction, and the deeper part of the thicket remained humid and hot.

  The Lushan Mountains are a vast mountain range, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, with ancient trees towering above, vines and creepers covering everything, and countless plants that have lived for tens of thousands of years. These natural barriers separate the entire Lushan Mountains from the outside world, where unknown numbers of rare and strange beasts, and bizarre creatures live.

  This is absolutely not a so-called utopia, but a real place full of killing and survival crises. This is a forbidden zone for humans, where powerful creatures and demons are everywhere. The strongest demon can even destroy cities and uproot giant trees.

  Sixty years ago, on the west side of the Luojia mountain range, in an area outside the outer layer of a human city, a powerful ninth-level peak demon beast 'Violent Eye Golden Crystal Beast' suddenly ran out from somewhere deep and slaughtered a small town, causing great destruction.

  In the end, it was still surrounded by the strong human city and killed on the spot...

  In the Wanjian Mountains, the 'Violent Eye Golden Crystal Beast' is not the most powerful demon beast. The deeper you go, the greater the danger you encounter, and the higher the danger coefficient of the lurking creatures.

  Even in the deepest part of it, there are powerful magical beasts that have surpassed the 9th level.

  Add to that the swarms of poisonous mosquitoes and the dense populations of snakes and insects, even the strongest warriors with the most confidence in themselves would not dare to venture deep into this place. This is a forbidden zone for life, unless one is an adventurer who is willing to risk everything, few people will set foot here.

  But in the depths of the dense forest, a figure slowly emerged.

  That figure's age is not great, with a robust physique, should be above 1.85 meters, the abdominal muscles are distinct, the chest is powerful, like a perfect leopard, agile and full of vitality.

  He was bare-chested, with some white clothes tied around his waist, wearing a pair of tattered long pants, walking in the depths of the dense forest.

  Footsteps trampled on the ground, and the withered branches and fallen leaves made a "creaking" sound, which was particularly startling in the quiet and dark forest.

  That person, however, was not tense at all, with a calm expression, as if he were strolling in his own backyard. He held an unusual "knife" in his hand, which could be called a knife only because it still had the outline of a knife, but the entire blade was wrapped in a thick layer of stone, as if it had been through countless years, with patches and ancient marks all over it.

  The handle of the knife was wrapped with a piece of torn cloth, tightly grasping the young man's hand. His hand held onto the somewhat crude handle, steady and unmoving.

  That young figure, with quick steps, had already walked from afar to the near in the blink of an eye. His body was wide open and exposed in many places, which was extremely unsafe in such a dangerous and dense jungle. With just one careless move, he could be attacked by a lurking beast of prey and lose his life on the spot.

  But if there were people who knew their stuff in the audience, they would have noticed. That young man's body posture was full of openings, yet it was precise to an extreme degree. Each step he took on the ground, if you measured it accurately, would shockingly reveal that the distance between each step and the margin of error were almost impossible to achieve.

  In the midst of movement and stillness, he advances with a seemingly exposed danger, but every move is subtle to the extreme. If you use a full analysis chart to look at his figure at this time, you will find that any slight change in his body is a 365-degree dead angle attacking posture.

  In other words, no matter which angle you attack from, even if it's from the smallest possible gap, you'll be met with his sudden and fierce counterattack in an instant. And this counterattack isn't just a simple two-point strike, but rather in that moment, every part of his body, including his elbows, knees, shoulders, legs, and even his head, will become deadly weapons. In the shortest amount of time, he'll launch a continuous and almost unimaginable violent attack.

  This level is extremely terrifying, if another martial artist who is proficient in internal family fist or combat skills sees this scene, it will definitely cause a huge shock. Because this must be like a robot, almost without error, executing every move, and most importantly, this action is still changing constantly, which makes people even more frightened. Those who have not experienced it personally can hardly imagine how terrible the reaction speed and the sense of danger prediction are needed to achieve all this.

  This represents that this person's control over every muscle, every bone, and even every muscle fiber in his body has reached a certain extreme state. His control and grasp of his own body have already reached an unimaginable level for ordinary humans.

  All I can say is that he's an extremely terrifying person. He's literally the perfect killing machine, and if he wants to be, every part of his body will become a fearsome, tough, and terrifying weapon at any time and in any place.

  This is the most terrifying thing.

  As he walked forward, danger also crept up quietly. Under the dark vines, a pair of green, emotionless and icy eyes were closely watching the approaching figure.

  Darkness is quiet and soundless, but in this silence lies the most terrifying killing intent.

  The figure still seemed to be unaware of anything and continued walking forward.

  One step, two steps, three steps...

  The feet trampled on the ground, making a "crunching" sound. And danger is approaching step by step.

  Just as he was still five steps away, the figure seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped in his tracks. The green pupils lurking in the darkness emitted a cold and ruthless glow. That was the hunter, at the last moment of capture, the most brutal and bloodthirsty.

  The figure paused for a moment, still unaware of the danger that had arrived, and took another step forward.

  It was this step that crossed the most dangerous terrain.

  Death is near!

  "A loud roar!"

  The predator lurking in the darkest depths finally reveals its most ferocious fangs, taking a step forward with speed like black lightning, pouncing straight at you.

  The black fur exposed its full appearance, the most terrifying killer.

  One of the jungle overlords of the Xuejian Mountains.

  Tier 8 Top-tier Demon Beast. "Black Lightning Leopard!"

  But the man seemed to be still unaware, continuing to walk forward blindly, as if he couldn't see anything at all, in a daze.

  "Rooooar!" The green eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty, cruel light, as if on the verge of death, and the black lightning leopard bared its coldest fangs!

  Everything has been destined, and the ending is hard to change. The massacre is about to arrive.

  "Whoosh!" In an instant, that lightning-fast leopard shadow had arrived right in front of him.

  Just as they were about to make contact, the man finally lifted his head. In that instant, the last scene reflected in his green eyes was a pair of indifferent gazes.

  "Boom!"

  No warning, no movement, everything seemed to be a matter of course.

  The young man's right hand, which was holding a strange and heavy knife, suddenly appeared between the two parties at an almost impossible angle. Just as the black lightning leopard's fangs were about to pierce the man's body, it fell heavily.

  There was no tearing sensation, and the dull blade could hardly cut through wood, let alone the strongest body of an eighth-level magical beast.

  "This is bad, this time it's a crash landing!"

  As a high-level demon, the eighth-level demon already possessed a certain level of wisdom. This was the last thought that flashed through its mind when it saw those indifferent eyes.

  Just as it was wondering why it hadn't been hurt, a terrifying and unimaginable, enormous power, like a mighty river, suddenly burst forth from the dull blade and poured crazily into its body.

  "Rustle rustle!"

  A brittle, bone-shattering crack, and the last thought in Black Lightning Leopard's mind disappeared. Then you see its massive and powerful body being flooded with a terrible power. Then it was destroyed like withering grass, reduced to a lump of indistinguishable flesh pulp.
