The danger zone wasn’t actually that dangerous, it waa basically just a a region in the forest that had one or more spiritual beasts. The villagers called them danger zones because even early stage qi gathering realm beasts are to dangerous for them.

They might defeat them if they ganged up on it, but it would come at a big cost. Yang Xiao could understand that, some animals were already extremely dangerous, and spiritual beasts were even stronger. If in his previous life a bunch of humans ganged up on a bear they probably wouldn’t win.

Only with the use of guns and such could they kill bears. And spiritual beasts were even more terrifying, of course depending on what kind of spiritual beast it was it would have different abilities. For example rabbit spiritual beasts were usually extremely fast, but had low strength.

Yang Xiao kept looking for Spiritual Beasts, and eventually found one. It was a gray wolf, it was around 2 meters tall it was surrounded by a bunch of wolfs who were also spiritual beasts but way weaker. The big wolf was at the 6th stage of the qi gathering realm, while the rest of the wolfs were at most at the second stage, some even were normal wolfs.

If he wanted to hunt them all he needed a plan, he could defeat them individually, but if he fought them all at once then he would definitely die. He thought for a moment and came to the conclusion that only by killing the leader first in a sneak attack could he succeed.

The problem was the wolf leader was surrounded by other wolfs. If he wanted to sneak attack successfully he had to wait till the wolf was alone. Otherwise he would to do something really bold to succeed, and he really didn’t want to do that.

But he ended up dissapointed even when they all went to bed the wolf still hadn’t left for a single second . They all started to sleep and Yang Xiao was watching them sleep from a distance. It was time to do something bold!

He secretly sneaked into the wolf pack that was sleeping, and approached the wolf leader. That’s right, his genius idea was to assassinate the wolf leader while he slept. He knew this wasn’t really a nice way to kill people, but he had no other chance.

1steps,2 steps, step for step he approached the wolf leader slowly. When he was right in front of the wolf leader he raised his leg and used his martial arts technique, the 11 stone shattering kicks. This time he used the 7th kick the downwards kick.

The wolf had extremely strong defense, but in the end the wolf leader was only at the qi gathering realm he couldn’t survive the kick that was able to easily smash stones. With one kick the wolf leader that dominated an entire region in the forest died.

Sadly the kick also made a lot of noise and the other wolfs woke up. When they saw what happened to their leader they were furious. They immediately attacked Yang Xiao, before he even had the chance to react he was surrounded by wolfs that were attacking him.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

He used the 11 stone shattering kicks again and again and one wolf after the other died. But every time a wolf died another wolf would replace that wolf. Yang Xiao slowly started to ge overwhelmed he kept getting scratched with wolf claws, and his body was filled with wounds.

If he was a normal mortal, he would have already been unable to fight. But thankfully he had the qi of wood flowing inside him, it helped him recover his energy and slowly tried to heal his wounds. With this he was able to hold on and continued killing wolfs.

10,20,30,40 more and more wolfs fell down till at 43 wolfs finally no wolf was left. Yang Xiao fell exhausted to the ground and started meditating to recover his wounds. Only after a few hours passed was he finally able to walk again.

When he opened his eyes again after meditating he saw a notification in front of him. It was from the system it seemed the system thought that he deserved a reward for killing that many wolfs.

„wolf slayer

Reward: Wolf Claw Technique, wolf claw cloves“

The reward was really good this time, a martial arts technique and a weapon. And they both complemented each other. The cloves were basically normal cloves but with wolf claws on them.

The Wolf claw technique was a technique that a martial artist once created after he gained enlightenment from watching wolfs fight. It was wild like a wolf, sharp like wolf clawsand very fast. If combined with a weapon like the wolf claw cloves then it would be even more terrifying.

Yang Xiao was confident that if had those rewards earlier it would have been a lot easier for him to deal with those wolfs. After all the reason he was that injured was because he only knew leg techniques, if he had known an additional martial arts techniques that allowed him more flexibility it would have been a lot easier.

But atleast he won, honestly he only dared to fight this battle because he knew from hid memories that spiritual beasts were usually weaker then human cultivators till they reached the gold core realm. That was because they didn’t have much intelligence and would only charge in blindly in rage without thinking.

That was the reason why he could deal with so many spiritual beasts at once. They were filled with rage,even if they saw him kick at them they wouldn’t avoid the kick and instead charge straight at the kick. This way a lot of the wolfs had sent themselves to death.

Only after reaching the gold core realm would spiritual beasts gain intelligence. At that point they would learn how to use the terrifying strength in their bodies efficiently. They could even learn cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques.

Sadly Yang Xiao didn’t have that much knowledge about all this. Even all this was only stuff he heard from elders in the village. Normal villages wouldn’t have that knowledge, but the village Yang Xiao lived in was right at the border.

The nation he lived in was called the xuan nation. It’s leaders where the members of the xuan family, even the current emperor was someone of the xuan family. The nation right across it was the spiritual beast nation, it’s name was utopia.

The reason for the name was simple, spiritual beasts were hunted everywhere for their materials. Their meat and bones and skin were very useful for cultivators. One day multiple spiritual beast emperors formed an alliance and created their own nation. It was supposed to be an utopia for spiritual beasts, human wouldn’t be able to hunt them in that nation. And the village Yang Xiao lived in was very close to the border of that nation…
