C9 Battle
Tang Chi POV...
We saw the four scary-looking monsters standing tall and mighty just a few meters in front of us, looking at us like we were just insects. The elders dashed towards the Demonic Wolf Alpha( wolf beast name) , they faced it head on. While father and grandpa went towards the two Gigantic Gorillas, and I went to the Horned Rhino.
Loud noises of battle could be heared,the elders coordinately attacked the wolf, while skillfully avoiding its dangerous large fangs. They slowly separated the wolf from the froup, while father and grandpa also did the same.
Only I and the Horned Rhino are left behind, it looked at me with a disdained face. It has few hard looking scales in its back, and a huge horn at its head.
I drew my sword from my back... seeing my actions, the Rhino felt like I was scorning him, and so it became pissed. It made a loud roar and rushed towards me. The ground was trembling while it ran. It made large holes in the ground, due to its large stomps.
The rhino was very fast even with its humongous body. Seeing this... I didn't just stayed put and waited for the rhino. I needed momentum so I dashed towards it.
The beast and I was closing the gap... and just before its horns hit me, I sidestepped and infused my sword with Qi, and slashed towards its back. My swords hit the scales on its body "chiiing..!", and a sharp metal sound was heard, my hands was trembling and slowly becoming numb, clearly due to hitting something hard.
I was shock that my sword infused Qi didn't even made a scratch on it, fortunately the Rhino wasn't very flexible, so it need to turn around to attack again.
"What the!... It didn't even made a dent, grandpa told us to just delay it, but I thought he was only saying it to the elders. I thought I could hurt the beast while using my 8th grade Qi. These beasts bodies are really so strong, really worthy to be envied upon. "
Destruction was over the place. Engaging the beast for minutes,I started to feel the disadvantage. My Qi was running out, and my hand became more numb. I was trying my best just to hold my sword, But the time fighting with it wasn't wasted, because I started to found some weak spots on his body, albeit losing some of my strength.
I gritted my teeth and tried to think of ways to defeat the beast, it came running forward again. Without the time to think, I did a bold move and jumped towards its eyes and point my swords towards it. The beast got startled and tried to swerve its head, it didn't expected a puny human to dare to face it head on, so it was late to react. My sword stabbed its right eye and destroyed it, I also tried to destroy the other eye but before hitting the eye, i got hit by its head and I got thrown away.
My bloody body rolling to ground like a beaten corpse. The Rhino roared so hard, it became so pissed, it didn't expected a weak human to injure it, much less destroy its eye.
I recovered my self while kneeling to the ground, blood spurted out of my mouth. I looked up to beast, with its eyeball dangling through its head with nerves connecting from the eye socket. Its face was now so angry and pissed.
Seeing this made me a bit glad "hahah take that you beast." I was glad I finally hurt the rhino. The beast rushed towards me in an angry manner, it was now two times faster than before, seeing this, I almost lost hope, my Qi was almost dry, my body was hurt so much, I can barely stand at all.
Flashes of memories went in my head... about my time in the village , my family, the villagers smile, thinking about this... I realized something "Everything... Everything I ever cared about will be gone if I die... If I die, the rhino could help the other Leader beasts and defeat grandpa and the others, the beasts could overrun the walls and destroy our home, I cant die.. I cant!!"
Looking at the pissed of rhino rushing towards me, I gritted my teeth and looked to my sword , barely even gripping it, I looked at it and I felt a familiar sensation. I sensed an epiphany around me, and I felt the time around me slowed down. looking at the slow beast rushing towards me, I dashed and jumped meeting it head on. I knew I couldn't face the rhino head on... so just before its horn hit my body, I span through the air while slightly avoiding its sharp horn and point my sword to its other living eye.
This time... I felt very different at wielding my sword. I could feel it like its an extension of my body. It felt very light and sharp. My perception got heightened, I feel like I could see the correct pathways where to stab my sword, and so I did it... I hit the beasts other living eye. It did another swerve, and this time it intended to finish me off, but I filled my body with Qi, and did another spin while in mid-air and gracefully dodged its head.

The beast made another huge roar, but this time it had trace of panic and fear. I didn't gave it any time to recover and dashed towards it again. I carefully jump towards its back, running towards its neck, I infused my sword with the little bit of Qi left in my body and stabbed my sword towards its vital spot.
Its neck was full of scales, so finding its vital spots are very hard with the amount of time, but because of the state I was in right now, I found it quite easily and stabbed my sword to the beast in such a quick manner that you could only see a blur watching it.
The beast made a shriek and it was rapidly losing a lot of its vitality. Blood kept on spurting out of its neck like a waterfall. It walked groggily for seconds and tried to run away, but sooner later it feel down the ground with a huge thump.
Seeing this I felt proud and triumphant of myself, Surviving an 8th stage beast alone was already impressive, much less killing one . I hurriedly recovered myself so I can help grandpa and the others, but suddenly... I felt a very dangerous feeling behind my back, my instincts kicked in and I hurriedly turned around. Turning around I suddenly saw one of the Gigantic Gorilla just beside me, its arms lifted its hands falling towards my head in a chop way.
These beasts are very humongous, so normally you can hear them coming from far away, but maybe because I was so focused on fighting the Rhino that I overlooked or hadn't heard the Gorilla coming, Seeing its Chopping hands falling towards me, I knew I was gonna die and this was it. All my Qi reserves are depleted, and even with the state that I was before, it was too late to react.
All I could do was stand there with regrets. I was so angry at myself for being so weak. while thinking 'Is this where I die?, so much for being an immortal cultivator and becoming the hope of the village, I cant even survive one outbreak' I despaired and just drew my sword and slashed it towards the hands, I knew doing this was hopeless but at least I would die fighting.
While slashing towards the hand, suddenly a blur rushed towards the monkeys sides.
Then I saw a muscular man with his azure hair flowing through the air, he suddenly clenched his fist and it turned to black with a white sphere coating around it, I felt a familiar sensation when I saw this man, then I heard a very loud " Booooom!!!!!!!!!"
The Beast went flying, the impact of the punch threw the beast and me all over the place, dust was all over the place, seconds later the dust settled and I saw the beast meters away, but when I saw the beast I was so shook. The beasts body was now so mangled and bloody, and below it was a huge crater with cracks around it. The impact of the punch was so strong that it made a lot of cracks in the ground. I was speechless on seeing this, just one punch and an 8th stage beast just died, I then heard a voice that broke my thoughts
"Hey kid, still alive?..."
---------------------
A few minutes before Kyle arrived, he saw Tang Chi fighting a huge rhino
"Hmmm looks like Tang Chi successfully broke through" , but seeing Chi successfully killed the beast, he calmed his self and went towards him. Sooner later another beast came rushing towards Chi. Seeing that Chi just kept on sitting in the ground ignoring the huge Gorilla, so he rushed to him.
When the beast chopped his hands towards Chi, he activated his Qi to his feet and dashed towards the monkey. When he was just beside the beast, he clenched his fist and activated his Ki(cell energy, kudos to the one who suggested this), and his fist became black and it hardened, he also activated his devil fruit and a white sphere coated his fist, then he punched the beast's sides while it was busy trying to kill Chi.
The space where the beast was punch cracked, and the beast went flying with its mangled, dismembered body hitting the ground. The force of the power made the ground shatter and it made a huge crater with cracks around it.
Kyle wasn't surprised about the outcome. 3years of training his body and devil fruit made him very strong, he even felt he can fight and win against a 9th stage cultivator.
In the 3 years of training he also discovered a new energy within his body. He called it Ki, it comes from the energy within his cells, he deduced this must be the energy that body cultivates. He also discovered that coating Ki on his body is just like the Busoshoku(hardening haki) in one piece. He also discovered that you need to be at least 7th stage aboveto use Busoshoku.
When he learned Busoshoku, he also tried learning the Kenbunshoku(observation haki). Kyle doesn't have any good sparring partners so he only found some random beasts in the forest using the way Rayleigh trained Luffy in amazon island. With luck he also learned Kenbunshoku but he was only still in the early phases, hence the scope of his haki is not yet that large, making him not able to detect the outbreak of beasts.
Kyle was now only at 7th stage body cultivator, but using haki can enable him to defeat 8th stage cultivators, but with the power of his gura gura, he was uncontested in the Houtian realm. He hasn't seen any Xiantian realm cultivators yet, so he cant compare against them.
Kyle knew using his gura gura againstthe beast was a bit overkill, but he didn't care. He was in a hurry and needed to end the fight fast, and there was no use on still hiding it. He also wasn't afraid of anyone in the village. So he finished the beast and asked the speechless kid on the ground.
"Hey Kid, still alive?"
