Chapter Fourteen: The Six-Legged Giant Beast

  This was the first being Zhou Heng had encountered that could survive under Ling Tian's First Style without dying, but unexpectedly it wasn't a human, but a demon beast!

  The mighty beast at the peak of Bone Refining is indeed powerful! However, more crucially, he's too weak, able to gather only a pitiful amount of Heaven and Earth's power, unable to unleash the true might of Ling Tian Nine Forms.

  If he is now in the Refining Bone Realm, this sword will definitely be able to pierce through the neck of the Six-Legged Giant Beast directly!

  Zhou Heng's foot slipped slightly, and he unfolded his Flying Cloud Step, easily dodging the demon beast's furious counterattack.

  He was lamenting on one side, while Lin Xiangxiang was shocked and had her small mouth wide open.

  In ten days, she didn't have much understanding of Zhou Heng, but also knew that this kid actually only had a cultivation base of six layers of body refinement.

  Who has ever seen such a powerful sixth-level body refinement?

  "Growl——" The six-legged giant beast kept letting out low growls, its copper-bell-like eyes emitting a bloodthirsty aura. Pain drove it mad, bleeding enraged it, and it must devour this damned human whole!

  Zhou Heng's feet lightly tapped, the Flying Cloud Step unfolded, and he once again merged with the entire universe. Every step he took seemed to make the earth rebound actively, as if the air was pushing him from behind, causing his speed to surge violently, allowing him to dodge the attacks of the six-legged giant beast with ease.

  However, without his sword, he was unable to launch another attack, and for a moment, both sides were at an impasse, neither able to do anything to the other.

  "You stinky little boy, take this sword!" Lin Xiangxiang finally reacted, her right hand raised, and a cold light shot towards Zhou Heng.

  Zhou Heng's hand closed around the hilt, and suddenly there was a long sword in his hand, its blade like a pool of autumn water, cold light shining brightly. He grasped the sword, and instantly his confidence surged, one sword raised, as if stirring up the entire heaven and earth!

  With a brush of his sleeve, he swung out with one sword!

  The six-legged giant beast's eyes flashed with a hint of fear, it had tasted the bitterness of this sword.

  Clearly seeing a sword coming, yet he didn't have the slightest idea of dodging, as if it was destined to be stabbed by this sword, otherwise it would be against the heavens! But a strong will to survive surged forth, and the six-legged giant beast suddenly let out a loud roar, and in the nick of time, it tilted its head and neck over a few inches.

  Pfft!

  A blood splattered, this sword pierced into the neck of the demon beast, the blade entered the body, as if it had been inserted into tofu, and the tip of the sword directly protruded from the other side!

  Unfortunately, this sword was slightly off and failed to directly pierce the throat of the demon beast!

  The six-legged giant beast let out a loud roar and swung its claws at Zhou Heng without any regard.

  Zhou Heng had a premonition, and immediately used force to pull out the long sword from the monster's body, bringing out a burst of fresh blood. In his heart, he couldn't help but secretly praise this sword for being extraordinary, otherwise it would have been impossible to pierce the six-legged giant beast's neck!

  However, this demon beast is indeed worthy of being a Refining Bone Realm existence. After suffering from the first sword, it actually had a certain degree of resistance to the second sword!

  Fei Yun Bu unfolded, Zhou Heng constantly walked around, dodging the six-legged giant beast's frantic counterattack.

  The first sword did not cause too much harm to the monster, and the long sword was still stuck in the monster's neck, to some extent preventing blood loss. But the second sword was different, directly piercing the six-legged giant beast's neck, with a burst of fresh blood, and the speed of blood loss was very fast.

  Although the six-legged giant beast was enormous in size, it couldn't withstand such a frantic and frenzied bloodbath.

  "Ah!" The monster wasn't stupid, after a long attack it didn't even touch Zhou Heng's clothes, and decisively gave up the entanglement, instead turning to launch an attack on Lin Xiangxiang.

  Lin Fengxiang's face suddenly lost its color, she was also a Bone Refining Realm existence, but how could she contend with a demonic beast of the same realm? Moreover, she couldn't fly on clouds or use her weapon, which had been lent out, so what could she use to block?

  She exerted force under her feet and slanted away to the left side.

  Suddenly, a black shadow loomed over her head, Lin Fengxiang looked up and saw that the six-legged giant beast had already jumped onto her head, spraying out fresh blood like fine rain.

  In terms of speed, how can she compare with the demon beast!

  As she watched the ferocious giant beast's head getting closer and closer, Lin Fengxiang involuntarily let out a cry of alarm, raised her palms, and recklessly charged forward.

  She will die!

  Although it hasn't happened yet, Zhou Heng can deduce the final outcome from the six-legged giant beast's posture and strength, just like he can easily see through Lin Fengxiang's swordsmanship, everything is within his expectations!

  Thinking of Lin Fengxiang's spoiled appearance, calling him "senior" with every sentence, thinking of her getting angry and pouting after knowing the truth, thinking of her clumsy hands that could even burn wild pheasants to charcoal, Zhou Heng felt a strong surge of excitement in his heart.

  She doesn't deserve to die here!

  Zhou Heng let out a loud roar and chased after her with swift steps, just at this moment, he suddenly gained a hint of enlightenment, as if the entire mysteries of heaven and earth were fully revealed before him.

  Ling Tian's Second Style!

  He desperately unleashed his full strength, transforming the thrust into a slash, and swung it fiercely at the six-legged giant beast. With Lingtian's first style as the foundation, he mastered the shape of Lingtian's second style in just ten days, but couldn't understand the underlying meaning.

  And now he is suddenly enlightened!

  The heavens roar, sword light like lightning!

  Kill me!

  Pfft!

  With one slash of the sword, the entire head of the six-legged giant beast was cut off, and fresh blood suddenly gushed out like a fountain.

  Zhou Heng only felt a strong sense of powerlessness wash over him, and he involuntarily sat down on the ground with a thud. His skin's blood vessels burst one after another, and every muscle in his body seemed to be screaming in agony, an indescribable pain.

  With the power he currently possesses, he is not even qualified to perform the second style of Lingtian, and it also causes huge backlash to himself. Fortunately, only some insignificant blood vessels burst, which stopped quickly, but still dyed him into a bloody man.

  But Zhou Heng was even more delighted, he had finally learned Ling Tian's second move!

  Listening to his heavy breathing, Lin Fengxiang finally came back to her senses and when she saw the headless monster, she was shocked and her eyes widened in terror.

  Can one sword chop off the head of a Bone Refining Realm demonic beast? This is a demonic beast at the ninth level of Body Refining, with bones as hard as refined iron. Although Zhou Heng was holding her treasured sword, could she really cut off the neck bone of the six-legged giant-headed beast with just one sword?

  The truth is right in front of her, she has no choice but to believe it!

  After the shock, Lin Xiang gradually came back to her senses and couldn't help but kick the corpse of the demon beast with her lotus foot to vent her anger, it was really too hateful!

  After she calmed down, she burst out laughing and said: "Father will definitely be shocked when he sees that I've hunted a nine-layered demonic beast! Hmm, let's skin it and make a cloak for Father!"

  This heartless woman, didn't you see that there's still a wounded person lying on the side covered in blood?

  Zhou Heng forced himself to sit cross-legged, circulating the Moon Shadow Heart Technique to recover his true yuan energy.

  In fact, the practice of qigong does not necessarily require a fixed posture, but sitting cross-legged seems to allow the meridians throughout the body to be unblocked, facilitating the circulation of true yuan energy, so most people practice in this posture.

  One week, two weeks, after continuously circulating the true yuan force for four or five weeks, Zhou Heng barely recovered a bit of strength.

  He stood up and walked towards the depths of the cave.

  The demon beast has a strong sense of territory, so it is absolutely impossible for there to be a second demon beast nearby, no need to wait until it recovers to its best state.

  "Hey, where are you going?" Lin Fengxiang hastily asked as she saw Zhou Heng walking away.

  "Our deal is done, I helped you kill the top demon beast, we're even!" Zhou Heng didn't turn his head back, just waved his hand.

  "Hey, hey, hey——" Lin Fengxiang caught up with him, walking shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Heng.

  Zhou Heng furrowed his brow and said, "Why are you following me?"

  "Who says I'm following you?" Lin Xiang snorted, "A demon beast's lair usually hides treasures, I'm just here to take a look at the spoils of war!"

  Zhou Heng shrugged and ignored her again, causing Lin Fengxiang's nose to wrinkle in anger once more.

  The cave wasn't dim, all the stones emitted a faint light, Zhou Heng had heard of it before, this was called "star stone", which could shine in the dark and was very valuable.

  But if you were to cut these stones down and transport them out of the mountain, the cost would far exceed their selling price. No one in their right mind would engage in such a business.

  After walking out for more than 100 meters, three forks appeared in front of him. Zhou Heng followed the direction of the black sword in his dantian and walked towards the middle cave.

  "Do you know the way?" Lin Fengxiang hesitated for a moment before catching up again.

  "I don't know!" Zhou Heng replied calmly.

  This damn idiot!

  Lin Fengxiang was clenching her teeth in anger, following closely behind Zhou Heng without saying a word. Actually, why was she following this stinky brat? She couldn't figure it out herself.

  The cave was very large and complex, and not far away, a fork in the road appeared again. Zhou Heng silently remembered the route he had taken and moved forward in the direction indicated by the black sword.

  After about twenty minutes or so, Zhou Heng stopped, and this was the direction that Hei Jian had pointed out.

  "Haha, you're lost too?" Lin Fengxiang had been dizzy and disoriented for a while, but when she saw Zhou Heng stop, her heart suddenly felt a thrill of excitement - now she was happy to see Zhou Heng in trouble.

  Zhou Heng didn't have any idea where she was, he just looked around for things that might be valuable.

  Ding ding ding, he tapped on the rock with the tip of his sword.

  "Hey, that's my sword, don't damage it!" Lin Fengxiang hastily shouted. This Frost Chill Sword was forged by her father with great care and she treasured it extremely."

  Although Frosty Sword is inlaid with precious tungsten, extremely hard, can cut gold and jade, but when used as a hammer to hit stones, can she not feel heartache?

  Zhou Heng didn't care, and cut a few more times. With a loud "crack", a piece of stone was forcibly chiseled off.

  It's indeed a treasured sword!

  Zhou Heng couldn't bear to part with it and didn't want to return it to Lin Fengxiang. Swipe, swipe, swipe, after a few more sword strikes, he carved out a large cave on the mountain wall.

  "What are you doing?" Lin Fengxiang didn't think Zhou Heng would be bored enough to whittle stones for fun.

  Zhou Heng reached into the large cave, and after a search, he had an extra small stone in his hand, which was white all over, crystal clear, like a piece of good jade.

  "Huh, this is——" Lin Xiang snatched the stone piece and held it in her hand, observing it carefully for a moment before suddenly revealing an expression of boundless surprise. "Do you know what this is? Do you know what this is?"

  She almost jumped up.

  "I don't know!" Zhou Heng shook his head.

  "This is terrestrial basalt!"
