Hey guys, sorry for not posting yesterday. I was actually done with the chapter, but when I was just about to submit it, my mouse went outside of the tabs and double clicked. Supposedly double clicking outside of the tab even when its not the x button deletes all the tabs. And thus, I wasn't able to save the rest of the work I did. Only half a chapter was there. *Sigh* all my hard work. But the chapter's here now! :) Enjoy!
Please inform me in the comments section if there are any grammatical errors! Thanks!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Cave Lion narrowed its eyes upon noticing Feng Yun's strength and stood there, rage still coursing through its veins. The Little Fucker...had actually dispersed his own attack!
This was the attack of a Tyrant Realm cultivator. Even a finger from one of these experts could easily decimate a Xiantian Realm cultivator yet Feng Yun wasn't fazed at all and even perfectly defended against it. Such power could not be described by any word except one.
Monster!
"What's wrong Stupid Lion? You seem to be stuck in a trance! Haha, did my power shock you? Yes, six months can do a lot for you as you'll come to notice." The Cave Lion was shaken out of its stupor and glared venomously at Feng Yun.
"I have to admit that you indeed have enormous strength to be able to close the disparity between two realms in a mere six months. However, you will also come to realize that your special methods aren't enough to defeat me!"
With this, the Cave Lion roared with pride and stared down at Feng Yun, as if inviting him to attack first. Feng Yun merely smiled and decided to oblige.
He started off by running forward, his sword by his side the entire time, emanating an awesome aura. At the same time, he activated his dragon spirit and his power multiplied by several times afterward. Seeing this magnifying power the Cave Lion snorted.
Acting quickly, Feng Yun slashed his sword towards the Cave Lion in a wide arc, the attempt going for the head. He obviously knew that the Cave Lion would try to defend and thus, merely used it as a baiting tactic.
"Such an easy attack requires no effort."
The Cave Lion lazily swiped a claw at him, condensed with Killing Energy that could instantly decimate any ordinary opponent. Feng Yun solemnly watched as the two attacks met. Sparks and energy burst as either side was battling for dominance. However, it was clear that Feng Yun's ordinary sword strike was on the losing end.
He knew that this would be the case, so he applied another attack to complement the blow. Yuan Energy circulated through his body and was released from both his palms, rising into the air. The energy then compiled itself together until it had formed a massive awe inspiring dragon whose gaze looked like it would deliver anyone straight to the Yellow Springs.
Hell Thunder Dragon's Descent!
The dragon that had been suspended in the sky suddenly pointed its head towards the ground, having found its target. Killing intent sprouted from its body as it dived in for the kill, mouth open wide. The Cave Lion gazed at the dragon, a grim expression on its face. It was currently preoccupied with Feng Yun's earlier attack and now it had to deal with the descending dragon as well.
"Screw your dragon and your sword!"
The Cave Lion's eyes turned bright red from the mass of Killing Energy being released from its body. It emerged like a torrent, swallowing everything around it and nothing could escape it. Realizing the immense power behind the move, Feng Yun backed away, pulling his sword from the strike. His face held a grim expression as he watched the dragon clash against the Cave Lion's monstrous power.
"Hmph, this martial art is powerful, but it is simply too lacking in front of my cultivation!"
The wave of Killing Energy assaulted the Hell Thunder Dragon, which suddenly halted in its pathway. The dragon roared and thrashed about against the energy, its pride unwilling to let itself disappear. Feng Yun watched carefully as the dragon was pushed back. Very rarely had he faced an opponent where his Hell Thunder Dragon's Descent didn't work. Apparently the Cave Lion was very capable of defeating the attack.
"Hmm, let's experiment and see how far he can go."
Feng Yun decided to add more Yuan Energy to the dragon in order to see how much the Cave Lion would be willing to go. He also wanted to make the Cave Lion exhaust itself in energy.
Upon receiving the energy, the dragon suddenly grew thicker and longer than it was before. Although this would consume much of Feng Yun's Yuan Energy supply, he had other trump cards to use. The dragon roared with newfound power and managed to tear straight through the torrential Killing Energy that the Cave Lion had manifested. A grim expression appeared on the latter and it gritted its teeth in annoyance.
"Supplying it with more energy eh? Fine. I'll use my own powers."
The Cave Lion had no fear as the dragon approached it ever closer. Feng Yun narrowed its eyes when he saw this. The Stupid Lion, definitely had a trump card.
The Cave Lion closed its eyes for a moment and readied itself into a fighting stance. Then, the energy that was preoccupied with preventing the dragon from approaching gathered back into its palm. The lion took a large breath of air, before releasing the fist directly towards the dragon. The fist seemed to carry the weight of Heaven and Earth as the ground shook beneath its massive power. It curved in a crescent moon like arc that made it absolutely deadly.
Black Moon Crushing Palm!
The power of the fist exploded outwards and met with the dragon, causing a great explosion to occur. Smoke manifested out of the clash as thick as a smog and flooded the battlefield, making visibility for anything other than Feng Yun and the Cave Lion impossible. Feng Yun's eyes lit up as he realized that the palm technique that the Cave Lion had used was indeed a Sage Class High Level Skill.
Generally, it was incredibly hard for beasts to learn martial arts as the majority of them either could not comprehend the text, or simply did not have access to them. Humans dominated most of the collection of martial arts and beasts that did not belong to divine beast clans had to have a great amount of fortune to be able to obtain one. The Cave Lion clearly had this stroke of good fortune. Furthermore, Feng Yun could tell that this skill was extremely powerful, capable of eclipsing even the Hell Thunder Dragon's Descent and his other skills. Feng Yun wondered if even the Indestructible Dragon Hide would be able to withstand such a technique.
After a few seconds the dust cleared and the Cave Lion stood there, clearly unharmed. However, a grim expression was on its face, whereas a happy expression was on Feng Yun's.
"Damn it, this child is clever. He must have somehow predicted that I would have this sort of trump card and poured more Yuan Energy into the dragon to make me use it. Now he knows all about my Black Moon Crushing Palm. He knows that I'm in a bad position because I used a large amount of Killing Energy in that attack.
However, he should have also exhausted his Yuan Energy supply as well, right?"
He was shocked however, when he heard the sound of Feng Yun snapping his fingers and forty blades hovering in the air above his head, all of them poised to fire at the Cave Lion's body. He also had his Falling Heavens Wings unfurled and ready to unleash its abilities.
"You...You've got to be kidding me right?!" The Cave Lion roared with despair.
'HOW?! He should have been completely exhausted after that right? Nobody can recover from that kind of state in just a couple minutes. Furthermore, there are no undulations in his dantian that signify pill usage!'
"That means...he's not using Yuan Energy!" The Cave Lion suddenly came to the realization.
"Hey...you don't look too good over there. It was pretty interesting seeing that martial skill of yours. However, I don't think you can use such an attack against my Soul Blades."
"Soul Blades?"
Feng Yun didn't explain any further and instantly torrents of bloodlust erupted from within his body and supplied itself to the forty blades, making them seem like an unstoppable force. Furthermore, in each of these blades, was the will to steal life, to steal creation away from the heavens.
"Feed off of the flesh and blood of the lion. Oh, but do please leave the meat unharmed. I would like to extract the meat as well." He then proceeded to snap his fingers. As if they were his children, the weapons obediently followed his orders and shot off at a speed that could nearly rival Mach 2.
[Mach 2=686 m/s]
The Cave Lion could barely see the blades as they flew past him, each one aiming for a vital spot on its body. It immediately arranged itself into a basic fighting stance and kept its eye on the blades, hoping to get lucky. However, in its eyes lay disbelief and confusion. It simply could not understand how Feng Yun had the capacity to utilize any more skills when his Yuan Energy supply should have been depleted.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
The first few times were easy enough to block with his physical body, dodging around with an incredible speed as the blades zoomed past his body and dissipated into nothingness. A feeling of satisfaction began to develop in it when it had dodged around ten blades. Unfortunately, the legacy of the Carnage Divinity was no simple power.
The blades while in midair, suddenly changed their flight pattern and separated into different areas, some flanking the Cave Lion's sides, while others still kept to the front. The change was so sudden that even the Cave Lion was caught off guard. The blood red swords charged, increasing their speed even further.
The Cave Lion attempted to defend against this onslaught but he responded too late. Three longswords, all of them a varied size attacked his waist, piercing the skin 6 inches deep. The Cave Lion immediately spat out blood from his throat and panted while jumping back several meters.
"These blades, just what are they made of? To be able to pierce a Tyrant Realm cultivator's body, simply incredible!"
The Cave Lion gritted its teeth while grasping the three blades one by one. Then, he pulled them out with a groan escaping its lips. Blood poured out of the wound in large amounts, making the already violet ground even darker. When the blades were flung to the ground, they dissipated into a transparent, almost ghostly energy that flowed back into Feng Yun's chest. The boy at this point was incredibly serene, his expression containing no worry at all as he snapped his fingers once more.
Less than thirty blades circled around him, all of them no less powerful than the previous ones. The Cave Lion stared at the formation grimly while clutching its waist. Its complexion had turned pale from the blood loss and its fatigue was easily discernible from the amount of sweat pouring down its face.
"Little Fucker, your blades are made out of soul energy. But how do you have such a strong soul to be able to conjure such weapons?!" The Cave Lion could feel the life being sucked out of him bit by bit despite the blades having been removed from its body. This was indeed the great effect of the Unlimited Soul Weapons; life stealing.
"That is none of your concern Stupid Lion. However, I'll tell you what is my concern...your death!"
His eyes glowed with killing intent and as if the blades could sense their Master's will, they too began to emanate killing intent. The Cave Lion looked at it with a grim expression and knew that it would be incredibly hard for him to escape this situation. Those blades were simply too powerful.
"Damn it. Useless useless useless. Why didn't I kill him in the last encounter?! Fuck!" The Cave Lion only had enough energy for a single Black Moon Crushing Palm. Its only option was to use the chance gained by deflecting the blades to find an opening and execute Feng Yun in one move.
'It's risky, but it may work.'
The Cave Lion resolved itself to do so and took a deep breath, waiting for its opponent to make a move. Seeing this, Feng Yun could tell immediately that it didn't intend to die so easily.
"Let's have some fun. Die." He uttered one phrase and the blades immediately responded, flying towards the Cave Lion in a mad frenzy.
In response to this, the Cave Lion drew up the familiar crescent moon like arc with its claw infusing the remaining Killing Energy that it had left in its body.
Black Moon Crushing Palm!
The previous Black Moon Crushing Palm had been instant and one fist, but this version of the palm technique became drawn out and longer. The Cave Lion's claws moved at an incredibly fast pace, coated in a thick Killing Energy that clashed against the soul weapons without letting up. However, as he blocked one blade after another, more sweat poured down on the Cave Lion's forehead.
Its movements grew increasingly slow and fatigue began to overcome it. However, despite this lack of energy, the Cave Lion persevered and continued to block the blades while searching for an opening. While blocking one of the morningstars that had flown his way, he suddenly noticed that Feng Yun had taken at least one second longer to deploy the next blade and immediately exposed this chance, increasing its speed to the maximum.
"Found it!"
In a mere half a second, the Cave Lion had already arrived at where Feng Yun was located and without any hesitation, swiped its claw with its remaining strength. Feng Yun had a look of terror on his face, which further made the Cave Lion even more confident. It now had no doubts that it had one the battle. However, right as the claw was so close to chopping Feng Yun's head off, the boy changed his expression in a flash to a cold smile.
"Fool."
The Cave Lion had completely thrown away all caution so it wasn't able to see the five blades aimed at its body from behind. The five blades instantly punctured through the thick flesh, all of them, converged on the heart. The Cave Lion's claw stopped a mere inch away from Feng Yun's face, its mouth agape and eyes twitching madly. Feng Yun coldly stared as blood poured out of the lion's mouth, bit by bit, before it collapsed to the ground in disbelief. Plastered on its face was an expression of regret and unwillingness, as it realized that its attempt had failed.
"Dammit! Dammit!" The Cave Lion muttered to itself while clenching its fist. Feng Yun calmly strolled over in a leisurely fashion and bent over to stare down at the lion. He glowered at it, like a massive tower looking down on civilization and said,
"Do you know what your mistake was?"
"Yeah, not killing you the first time!" The Cave Lion gritted its teeth while answering. Feng Yun could still feel the pride in its eyes and marveled at the lion's bravery even when it was about to die.
"Yes, that and underestimating me severely. Perhaps if you had executed that martial art of yours early in the fight, you would have had a chance. Unfortunately, you didn't do so. And thus, here you are, with your life in my hands." He smiled evilly while saying so. The Cave Lion received chills every time his eyes met that smile.
"Peh, what 'life in your hands'? Fuck, just send me to the Yellow Springs if you dare you bastard!" Feng Yun was unperturbed by its threats and instead said,
"What's your name Stupid Lion?" The Cave Lion narrowed its eyes in suspicion however since it had nothing to lose it replied.
"Yang Shizi. Why?"
"Well, Yang Shizi, it appears that you still think that you'll have an easy way out by death. I regretfully inform you that your life will be a living hell from now on."
"Little Fucker! What the hell are you talking about?!" Feng Yun said nothing and summoned his sword. Without another word, he pierced the sword through the neck of the lion. On the lion's face as it died was one of confusion and disorder.
Feng Yun waited for a few seconds before a transparent soul emerged from its body. He automatically grasped at the threads and pulled it towards him. Then, he summoned the Void Universal Manual and the suction power began to appear. Yang Shizi's soul shot towards one of the empty pages in the book and formed a large bright tattoo that was shaped like a lion's mane. Feng Yun tuned in to the tattoo and he could then hear the screams of disbelief that echoed from it.
"LITTLE FUCKER! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!!! AHHHH!" Yang Shizi had originally thought that at least he would be granted a peaceful and honorable death. However, instead he had been sealed within an unbreakable prison.
"No no no no no no no no no no no no no! This can't be happening. Please, I beg of you. Let me out! Let me out!" Feng Yun tuned out of the screams and exited the Void Universal Manual.
He stared at the corpse which he had slain himself. Yang Shizi was the first Tyrant Realm beast that he had ever slain. And he had even done so while being at the Xiantian Realm. This was an incredible accomplishment and only served to prove how strong he had become.
"Hmm, that Stupid Lion is dead now, so...it's lion burger time!"
Feng Yun began to use his sword to chop away the limbs of the deceased Yang Shizi, all while making clean cuts and slices. He then prepared a fire and started to roast the meat. Taking out some of the bread slices which he had brought with him, the devouring of lion burgers began.
As Feng Yun tore through the burgers, he could feel the rich and juicy taste that came from the meat. He could easily say that it was several times greater in quality than the meats from his previous life. He quickly concluded that it must be because of the cultivation session that it had which eliminated all of the impurities in the body and filled with vitality.
"Oh god, this stuff tastes like heaven! Mc Donald's could learn a thing or two from this!"
[Okay that was a modern reference but Feng Yun is from a modern world so...is it acceptable?]
