Chapter Fifty-Four: Fierce Battle

  Roar!

  The sleepy bear didn't care whether Qin Yong was frightened or excited, it only knew that the human in front of it was the culprit who disturbed its sleep. Originally, the sleepy bear was a demon beast that was prone to violent rage, and now seeing Qin Yong, it immediately charged towards him.

  Qin Yong's face changed slightly as he looked at the giant bear, which was over four meters tall, waving its huge paws and charging towards him. The visual impact was quite shocking. The ground trembled slightly due to the hibernating bear's running, which revealed the terrifying weight of the hibernating bear, as well as its strength. If one looked closely at the ground, they could see that every step the hibernating bear took would leave behind a spider web-like pattern of fine cracks.

  This is the state of Hibernation Bear when it goes into a rage, using its full strength to charge forward at an extremely fast speed. Due to its large body size, Hibernation Bear's agility is affected, but in terms of linear charging, it won't be worse than other demonic beasts.

  The strong gust of wind made Qin Yong's face solemn, and he dodged to the side, avoiding the giant palm that Sleeping Bear had swung at him. He passed by Sleeping Bear's side. The giant palm slapped the ground, making a loud "Boom" sound, creating a large crater on the ground, with shattered rocks flying everywhere, and a large spider web-like crack spreading out from around the crater.

  Qin Yong's heart sank at the sight, the power of this palm was beyond imagination. If he were to be hit by it, even if he wasn't turned into mush, he would probably break bones and vomit blood with his internal organs shattered. The Sleeping Bear, this most terrifying ninth-level demon beast, indeed did not get its reputation for nothing. Qin Yong's heart was both terrified and excited at the same time.

  At this time, Qin Yong circled around the sleepy bear's body and punched out with one fist, directly hitting the sleepy bear's back. With a loud crash, Qin Yong hit the sleepy bear, but his fist felt like it had hit a steel plate, and his palm was burning with pain. Having succeeded in landing a punch, Qin Yong quickly retreated, which turned out to be the right choice. The sleepy bear actually fell onto its back after being hit, pressing down on the ground. If Qin Yong hadn't retreated in time, he would have been crushed under the sleepy bear's body, and that kind of weight would have been even more terrifying than being slapped by the sleepy bear.

  "How powerful!" Qin Yong exclaimed again.

  He was able to knock out the Double-Tailed Tiger with one punch, and his power was by no means ordinary. However, when that same punch landed on the Sleeping Bear's body, it only made the bear shudder slightly, while Qin Yong himself was shocked and felt a dull ache. The Sleeping Bear indeed had an astonishing defense, its skeletal system was as hard as steel, and its thick fur protected it, making it difficult for even a Qi Wu realm cultivator to break through its defenses. Although the Sleeping Bear lacked agility, it also made use of its own advantages, and after being hit by Qin Yong, instead of turning around to counterattack, it simply fell onto its back, which was absolutely the most effective way to deal with the situation.

  Qin Yong no longer dared to underestimate the sleepy bear. If he hadn't just sensed danger, Qin Yong would have abandoned his retreat, and the consequences would be unthinkable.

  The sleepy bear fell to the ground and didn't get up, but instead rolled towards Qin Yong in a rolling motion. Like a rolling drum, its speed was not much different from when it was running before, and its attack surface had become even wider.

  Qin Yong cursed silently and immediately retreated backwards, his eyes rolling rapidly as he thought about how to counterattack. If it were a strong Xuanwu Realm cultivator, perhaps they could withstand this attack and even launch a counterattack. However, Qin Yong's cultivation was insufficient, and even if his strength exceeded his cultivation level, he would still be unable to withstand the attack. From the previous fight with the sleepy bear, Qin Yong had already known that the sleepy bear's physical body was terrifying.

  "Must I use the Air Transport Badge?" Qin Yong muttered to himself, a hint of reluctance flashing across his face.

  If he used the Air Transport Emblem now, his previous thoughts would be in vain, and his brief battle with the sleepy bear would have been meaningless. But if he didn't use the Air Transport Emblem, how could he cope with this attack? Qin Yong thought while quickly retreating backwards.

  The rolling speed of the sleepy bear was extremely fast, and Qin Yong's body retreated backward. Compared to the rolling speed of the sleepy bear, it was slower by a fraction. As the sleepy bear approached closer and closer, Qin Yong paid attention to the sleepy bear while observing his surroundings, and finally his gaze fell on the stone where the sleepy bear had originally lain down.

  At this moment, Qin Yong's eyes lit up, and his feet slightly shifted. Originally, when he first avoided the sleepy bear, Qin Yong had already exchanged positions with the sleepy bear, and now that rock was behind him at a slightly tilted position. The change in Qin Yong's footsteps immediately changed the direction of his retreat to face the rock.

  The rolling of the sleepy bear was indeed powerful, and some trees were even knocked open. However, the stone could withstand the weight of the sleepy bear, which would definitely bring some hindrance to it. At that time, the sleepy bear slowed down, and Qin Yong had an opportunity.

  The battle is not just a face-to-face confrontation, but requires the use of one's surroundings. Qin Yong has gained some insight and feels that his grasp of battle is getting better and better. At the same time, Qin Yong feels that the circulation of true energy has a feeling that was not present during training. Indeed, actual combat is the best way to become stronger. This is not only because actual combat can turn cultivation into real combat power, but also because it allows one to gain insights and experiences in battle that cannot be obtained through meditation and training.

  Before long, Qin Yong approached the stone, jumped over it with a single leap, and quickly retreated backwards without any hesitation, his eyes still fixed tightly on the hibernating bear.

  The stone was not high, but for the rolling hibernating bear, it was a considerable obstacle. The hibernating bear crashed into the front of the stone and suddenly shook its body, then slightly bounced up. At this time, it was no longer rolling, and the obstruction of the stone had an excellent effect.

  The stone also showed some cracks, after all, the rolling sleepy bear was not just his weight, but the force that utilized its weight had reached an extremely terrifying level. If it weren't for this special stone with excellent hardness, it would have been smashed directly.

  Qin Yong saw a strange color flash in his eyes, and the stone he was looking at was already slightly different from the other stones on the ground. Now this situation further explained the situation. However, Qin Yong quickly withdrew his thoughts and cast his gaze back at the sleepy bear, which had stopped rolling over and was now waving its massive paws to guard against Qin Yong's sudden attack.

  Qin Yong was not willing to give up this opportunity, and the sleepy bear swung its paws, with more than half of its body unable to get close, but still revealed a gap. Qin Yong saw this and immediately leaned forward, his fist hitting the sleepy bear.

  Qin Yong's attack was aimed at the lower abdomen of the sleepy bear, and the sleepy bear's double palms were agile, swinging with a tiger-like wind, guarding its upper body. However, its legs were somewhat stiff and couldn't defend against everything. Qin Yong took advantage of this gap to launch an attack, although it wasn't fatal, but if used properly, it could also bring harm to the sleepy bear.

  One punch won't do, then two punches, two punches won't do then three punches. Qin Yong knew that the power of one punch was not enough to bring harm to the sleepy bear. However, if the punching speed is fast, and the force is stacked together, it can still break through the sleepy bear's defense. Moreover, below the abdomen is also a small weakness, it's impossible to be as hard as steel like the back.

  Qin Yong's fists flew in, and in a short instant, he threw out three punches, all of which hit the same spot below the sleeping bear's abdomen.
