PNB Chapter 642 Swordsmanship
Chapter 642 Swordsmanship
"Well done!" Xu Yao shouted, then raised his sword and charged forward.
Xu Yao's strength was comparable to that of a ninth-level Body Tempering cultivator, but he did not use his full strength as he was practicing his swordsmanship.
There is a major realm between the seventh and eighth levels of Body Tempering, but this major realm is as difficult to cross as a chasm.
Xu Yao needs to hone his swordsmanship before he can cross this chasm.
A tiger with a striped bark opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Xu Yao, but Xu Yao ducked to avoid the bite.
Then he swung his longsword and slashed fiercely at the one-striped tiger, pouring all of Xu Yao's strength into this strike.
The tiger's head was severed by Xu Yao's sword, and red and white splattered all over Xu Yao.
The corpse crashed to the ground, but Xu Yao showed no excitement whatsoever.
"Still unable to take that final step?" Xu Yao sighed and shook his head.
Xu Yao felt that he still hadn't broken through his bottleneck and was still stuck at the eighth level of Body Tempering.
"In any case, the effects of this Soul Tempering Pill are quite good. If I can obtain more Soul Tempering Grass, I might be able to break through to the ninth level of Body Tempering."
Xu Yao's eyes were filled with anticipation.
During this time, he also earned a lot of Soul Tempering Grass by hunting monsters.
If he can hunt down two more one-striped tigers, he will be able to purchase the demon core of a two-striped tiger!
The demon core of the two-striped tiger is expensive, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it unless you are a retainer of a large shop or a disciple of a family.
However, the worshippers and family disciples of the large shops are basically all martial arts masters, and even more so, they are at the mid-stage of martial arts master!
"I'd better hurry up and improve my cultivation; we're getting close to the Ironclad Rhinoceros's cave!" Xu Yao said.
This armored rhinoceros cave is the lair of the armored rhinoceros, and usually only one armored rhinoceros guards it.
However, if any dangerous monsters break in, that armored rhinoceros will definitely come immediately!
The armored rhinoceros is no ordinary monster; it is extremely strong and has terrifying defense. Even Xu Yao would not dare to underestimate it!
Several more days passed, and a smile appeared on Xu Yao's face. He had finally succeeded in breaking through.
Xu Yao opened his eyes and suddenly jumped up.
His body slammed into a two-striped tiger like a cannonball.
The giant wolf let out an angry howl and pounced directly at Xu Yao.
The giant wolf's target was Xu Yao's neck!
Xu Yao's pupils suddenly contracted. The giant wolf reacted very quickly, and its gaze was extremely sharp.
If he were scratched by this giant wolf, his throat would definitely be torn apart!
Xu Yao twisted his body and narrowly avoided the fatal blow, but his shoulder was still grazed.
Blood spurted out, but Xu Yao ignored the injury to his shoulder.
He bent his legs and then used all his strength to kick the giant wolf away.
The giant wolf's body fell more than ten meters away, struggled a few times, and finally died.
Xu Yao gasped for breath. He knew his condition was terrible; he was now at his last gasp.
If he doesn't recover in time, he won't even be able to walk, let alone hunt monsters.
The elixir dissolved into a cool liquid inside his abdomen.
A surge of heat flowed into his limbs and bones, causing his previously parched flesh to writhe rapidly.
Xu Yao felt incredibly comfortable all over.
His wounds began to heal, and his complexion gradually returned to normal.
"That really hurts!" Xu Yao cursed under his breath.
Although the bleeding from these wounds had stopped, the pain still made him grimace.
It's all because his body is too weak and simply can't withstand high-intensity combat!
The two-striped tiger roared and charged at Xu Yao.
Xu Yao narrowed his eyes and flicked his wrist, the sharp sword in his hand slicing across the belly of the two-striped tiger, leaving a deep, bone-revealing sword mark.
This sword pierced the heart of the two-striped tiger!
Xu Yao dodged instantly, while the massive corpse of the two-striped tiger crashed to the ground.
A demon core of a two-striped tiger appeared in front of Xu Yao.
Xu Yao held the demon core in his hand, feeling the rich Yuan energy fluctuations emanating from it, and nodded in satisfaction.
"The power of the ninth level of Body Tempering is indeed much stronger than that of the eighth level," Xu Yao muttered to himself.
Inside the Ironclad Rhinoceros's cave, a huge black shadow lay asleep on the ground.
A sudden, loud noise made the armored rhinoceros open its eyes.
It stood up warily, its eyes filled with a fierce gaze.
As if sensing something, the two-striped tiger and the one-striped tiger both howled and fled.
"Roar!" The armored rhinoceros let out a deafening roar.
"It's actually a two-striped tiger, haha!" Xu Yao's eyes lit up with ecstasy when he saw the armored rhinoceros.
A demonic beast that has reached the ninth level of Body Tempering is indeed extraordinary; such a two-striped tiger is definitely worth a fortune!
Xu Yao drew his sword and charged towards the two-striped tiger, but the tiger was very fast.
It slapped Xu Yao directly in the chest, sending him flying.
Xu Yao spat out a mouthful of blood; the slap from the armored rhinoceros had displaced his internal organs.
He struggled to his feet, staring coldly at the armored rhinoceros.
The armored rhinoceros looked at Xu Yao, a hint of surprise flashing in its eyes.
Xu Yao's clothes had been torn to shreds, revealing his bare, muscular upper body.
Especially those hideous knife scars are shocking to the eye, looking like the claw marks of the devil!
"Hmph!" Xu Yao snorted coldly, and with a flick of his right hand, a dagger appeared in his hand.
Xu Yao's dagger was covered in a pale green, viscous substance that emitted a foul stench.
This is the venom of a demonic serpent at the eighth level of body tempering.
The venomous snake at the eighth level of Body Tempering has corrosive venom, and even a demonic beast at the ninth level of Body Tempering would avoid it.
The power of this poison is unimaginable, and it can also increase his agility and attack speed, making it a great weapon!
"Kill!" Xu Yao shouted and charged forward, his dagger flashing like lightning.
The armored rhinoceros roared and swung its sharp claws to meet the attack!
A spark flew as the two-striped tiger's claws blocked Xu Yao's dagger and forced him back several steps!
Xu Yao was secretly surprised. He had not expected that the armored rhinoceros's claws would be so hard that they almost knocked his dagger out of his hand.
In this battle, the armored rhinoceros held an absolute advantage.
Its claws were covered in frost, indicating that the venom was more harmful to the armored rhinoceros.
"Damn it, if it weren't for this venom, I would have killed this armored rhinoceros long ago!" Xu Yao's eyes flashed with a solemn expression.
The armored rhinoceros's claws were coated with a thick layer of venom, which also had a paralyzing effect.
