Chapter 29: Killing the Steel-Backed Beast (Third Update) Seeking Red Tickets and Bookmarks

  Liang Jing, after a night of effort, now dodges and knife attacks are used together, exerting power that is not as simple as one plus one. He constantly surrounds the Steel Beast, his body agile and powerful, fully exerting his physical qualities, producing a huge effect in battle. After all, with equivalent strength, life and death are only separated by a thin line, and being slow could mean death.

  Whoosh!

  Liang Jing did not retreat, but instead advanced, with a swift and agile sidestep that allowed the steel-spined beast's razor-sharp teeth to pass within mere centimeters of his body. Yet these few centimeters seemed like an insurmountable chasm, rendering the steel-spined beast utterly unable to harm Liang Jing in the slightest.

  "Draw your sword!"

  Liang Jing's short knife came down from above with a swift and fierce diagonal slash! Accompanied by a sharp, brief whirring sound, the Steelback Beast let out a terrified loud roar, sensing danger, its hooves bursting forth with full force to dodge Liang Jing's rapid blade. But... Liang Jing's knife speed was too fast, only the sound of the short knife slashing into its body could be heard.

  Pong!

  *sigh*...

  Unfortunately, the Steel Beast still failed to hit the original wound on its neck, but left a new wound of over 1 cm deep and more than 10 cm long nearby, with blood gushing out. The Short Sword is now exhausted from the battle, and its heart yearns for [Baroque's Sorrow] even more eagerly.

  Wang wu...... The steel-backed beast let out a loud roar, although the wound was not deep, it was painful, and the force of the attack also made the steel-backed beast pause for a moment.

  Boom!

  At this moment, a crimson fireball with a diameter of over ten centimeters flew quickly and hit the Steel Beast's head, exploding on impact. It turned out that Yang Youwei had been preparing his Fireball Technique all along, waiting for the Steel Beast to reveal an opening, which it did at this exact moment.

  Aaaaoooouuu...

  After the fireball explosion, the forehead of the attacked person emitted waves of smoke, a pungent smell wafted through the air, steel needle-like hair was scorched, and the skin was directly charred and carbonized. The fireball blast took away a layer of flesh, leaving behind a deep blackened wound, with blood dripping down drop by drop.

  The steel-backed beast became even more enraged and frenzied, being hit by the fireball technique without becoming dizzy, but instead attacking Liang Jing in front of him even more frantically. He only recognized Liang Jing as his target, using a completely desperate and unguarded fighting style that only attacked and did not defend. Meanwhile, Liang Jing was also unable to cope with this for the time being, and could only constantly dodge and parry in a sorry state.

  Liang Jing felt increasingly miserable, his whole body burning with fever, dizzy and mentally exhausted, even more unbearable than staying up for three days and nights with a cold, running nose and high fever. His movements and reactions slowed down significantly, and when facing the crazy and desperate Steel Spine Beast, he could only passively defend himself.

  Time slowly passed by, and the sun had already risen above the horizon. Liang Jing in the house became more and more disheveled.

  My body has been attacked by the steel beast several times, even wearing a leather jacket was broken and injured, with a nearly 20cm wound on my abdomen, still bleeding. Fortunately, the wound is not deep, otherwise, internal organs would have flowed out. There are also several scratches on my face, with fresh blood dripping from my mouth, this is the result of dodging with all my might at critical moments.

  Although he did so, he also left several wounds on the steel-backed beast, one of which even enlarged and deepened the original deepest wound, causing the steel-backed beast to spray out more and more frantically.

  On the other side, Yang Yu Yuan sensed that something was off and, since Gang Pao had been ignoring him, he frantically released fireballs to attack Gang Pao, repeatedly hitting his head and making it possible to see his skull. Perhaps the brain inside should have been cooked by the high temperature, but now he's still so frenzied and ferocious.

  The mutated monster's life is incredibly strong!

  "Woof..."

  The steel-backed beast, with its head and brain severely damaged, let out a low, mournful howl, abandoned Liang Jing, and pounced on Yang Yuwen. It had had enough of this despicable little man's annoying existence, and its four limbs and hooves suddenly burst into action. With a fierce charge, it rushed towards Yang Yuwen, stirring up a bloody storm, and an aura of frenzied cruelty assailed him.

  "What a great opportunity!" Seeing the Steelback Beast turn its head, Liang Jing immediately reacted and changed his short knife from chopping to stabbing. He exerted force with his feet, shook his waist and spine like a giant dragon swinging its body, and transmitted the fierce power to his arm holding the short knife, which stabbed into the wound on the Steelback Beast's neck.

  Hmph...

  The dagger's tip emerged from the steel-backed beast's neck on the other side, but failed to stop its attacking motion. This was the steel-backed beast's desperate charge with a held breath, which also sent Liang Jing tumbling aside. The steel-backed beast continued to pounce towards Yang Yuwen, only to be stabbed by Liang Jing's dagger, seemingly releasing its pent-up energy and appearing weakened, its movements slowing down significantly.

  At this time, Yang Yuanyuan didn't even have time to react, having just released six fireballs in a row. Now his head was spinning and he was in severe pain, so naturally his reaction was slow.

  He had rarely engaged in close combat all along; the Steel Beast had always only chased after Liang Jing, never paying attention to him, and this sudden turn of events was too sudden.

  "Get out of the way!" Looking at Yang Youyuan who didn't react, Liang Jing shouted loudly as he flew sideways.

  Liang Jing's loud shout made Yang Yu Yuan, who was in a daze, suddenly come to his senses. He saw a huge black shadow pouncing towards him and didn't have time to think before instinctively covering his head and crouching down. The next thing he knew, everything went dark as he was knocked out by the impact and fell to the ground beside the wall, losing consciousness.

  "Woof..."

  The steel beast also hit the wall at this time, and its four limbs and hooves seemed to lose their strength and fell to the ground. It struggled and convulsed, but the short knife on its neck cut open a wound that grew larger with each struggle, and fresh blood flowed out recklessly.

  Watching the Steelback Beast's struggles, Liang Jing strongly endured his physical discomfort, hastily stepped forward to grab the hilt of the Short Blade, and with a forceful pull downwards, dragged it out. The huge friction between the blade edge and the Steelback Beast's neck enlarged the wound even further.

  Liang Jing grasped the knife and dragged it out in one breath, finishing with a swift retreat to avoid the Steel Beast's final crazed counterattack. Then Liang Jing approached again!

  "Uuuu... uuuu..." The Steel Beast let out a mad and painful weak howl.

  "Die!"

  Liang Jing continuously shifted in three directions, blurring the dying Steel Spine Beast's senses, and dodged its attack once again. With that agile and swift step, Liang Jing used all his strength to slash out a fierce knife, with an absolutely beautiful and cold light!

  "Hmph!"

  This knife was hacked down towards the giant wound on the steel-backed beast's neck, it was easy to start hacking, but when it hacked in 12 centimeters, the resistance suddenly increased, and then the resistance immediately decreased. The short knife suddenly hacked the steel-backed beast's neck nearly two-thirds of its depth, and then quickly pulled out the knife and retreated violently!

  Fresh blood gushed out like a ditch, forming a circle of bright red bloodstains on the ground.

  "Ahhh..." A shrill roar, the Steelback Beast's body convulsed, its hooves frantically stomping unconsciously. Suddenly, it violently charged at Liang Jing and then collapsed to the ground, slowly becoming still, its voice growing weaker until there was no reaction.

  Liang Jing was hit by the last crazy collision of Gangui Beast, fell to the ground, blood splattered everywhere, but never got up again.

  Liang Jing lay in the blood and water of the corpse, looking at the steel-backed beast's corpse with its head almost severed. The fresh blood was slowing down, it seemed that the blood would soon be exhausted; after all, a lot had been flowing out for a long time.

  He doesn't want to move now, a night of non-stop fighting is too exhausting, both physically and mentally. Especially the last battle with Steel Beast, it was high-intensity mental concentration, now he just wants to collapse, even if blood is flowing up to his ears, a strong sense of fatigue has taken over.

  At this moment, a large cluster of milky white light flew out from the Steel Spine Beast's body and entered Liang Jing's body in the blink of an eye. Liang Jing's body shook, and his originally dull eyes seemed to brighten up a bit.
