Chapter 8

There were not many people here.

After casually accepting a mission to slay a demonic beast, Meng Zhangqing departed.

Although the demonic beasts were fierce, with his current strength,

a mere Gao Jie Level One demonic beast could still be easily handled.

Leaving the Outer Sect territory,

he sped straight toward the nearby forest.

There was not the slightest delay in between.

If not for this mission, he would have wanted to remain in seclusion until reaching the Aperture Opening Realm before emerging.

Thus, he did not wish to waste too much time on missions.

Go early and return early.

——

Half a day later.

Boom!

The massive body crashed to the ground with a thud, bearing exactly ten extremely deep sword marks, with scarlet blood gushing out in torrents.

It soon dyed the entire ground red.

This was a Purple-Veined Crystal Bear.

Among Level One demonic beasts, it belonged to the very strong kind.

Whether in strength or defense, it was extremely high!

Martial artists of the same level generally could not defeat it.

"The information was wrong; this is clearly a Level One Peak demonic beast!"

Meng Zhangqing flicked his sword, shaking the blood off the blade.

Fortunately, his strength had increased greatly.

Otherwise, coming here today, he would have suffered a major loss!

He might even have lost his life here.

"No wonder the Nine Shadow Sword Art is at the Perfection level; even the defense of the Purple-Veined Crystal Bear was broken so easily."

Looking at the sword marks on the Purple-Veined Crystal Bear, Meng Zhangqing nodded in satisfaction.

And there was the Copper Armor Art.

Meng Zhangqing lowered his head slightly.

He looked at his right shoulder, where the clothes were torn, revealing powerful muscles.

During the fight, he had still been grazed by the Purple-Veined Crystal Bear.

Unfortunately, his Copper Armor Art had already been raised to the fifth layer.

Even a demonic beast like the Purple-Veined Crystal Bear could not cause the slightest injury to his body!

"In terms of speed, there is still some lack."

Meng Zhangqing was a person who liked self-reflection.

Analyzing the situation during combat.

"After returning, if there is a chance, I must learn a body movement martial art,"

Meng Zhangqing thought, "No, I should go and befriend a martial artist specializing in body movement!"

With the System present,

making friends is the correct way to cultivate!

Dismantling the Purple-Veined Crystal Bear and taking several important parts, Meng Zhangqing turned and left.

After handing in the mission,

he could focus on cultivation!

"Hmm?"

Having just sped forward for dozens of meters,

Meng Zhangqing suddenly stopped.

Because he clearly sensed a vibration coming from beneath his feet, growing increasingly intense, like many heavy objects running.

In this forest, it could only be demonic beasts.

"It seems to be coming in my direction."

Meng Zhangqing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Immediately, he tapped his toe, leaped into the air, and landed atop a tall ancient tree.

The demonic beasts were rioting so abnormally.

Something must have happened.

Very soon.

Rolling dust, like a yellow dragon, appeared around a bend in the mountains a bit further away.

Those were actually a pack of demonic wolves!

Iron-Bone Demonic Wolves!

Also a Level One demonic beast known for its defense!

Roar!

A huge gray demonic wolf charged at the very front, its aura powerful; it was a Level One Peak demonic beast, equivalent to a human martial artist at the peak of the Tempered Meridian Realm.

Its eyes were blood-red, filled with hatred.

Staring fixedly at the figure sprinting ahead. Ba

World-weary heart, writing, eagle, following, stumbling, be, bitter, e, near

It was a silver-robed maiden. Ling

Red lips and white teeth, a beautiful face. Ling

Pale skin, black hair streaming in the wind.

Clutching a medicinal herb tightly in her hand.

Her face showed both excitement and fear.

Her cultivation base is not bad.

6th stage of the Meridian Realm.

Judging by her attire, like Meng Zhangqing, she is also an outer disciple of the Xuan Sect!

"So many demon wolves."

Meng Zhangqing frowned slightly; among them were many powerful ones.

Even he, placed among them, might feel slightly strained.

But it is only strain.

It is not unsolvable.

"Forget it, meeting is fate; within my ability, if I can help, I will help."

Meng Zhangqing prepared to act.

Because Meng Zhangqing had always kept his Scrying Eye active, as the maiden drew near,

information about her was revealed.

Basic information:

【Name: Bai Suxi】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation base: 6th stage of the Meridian Realm】

Attribute information:

【Bone constitution: Grade Two】

【Comprehension: Superior】

【Martial Arts: "Thirteen Swords of Lone Killing" (Great Perfection), "Soaring Spirit Soft Body Step" (Minor Perfection)】

【Talent: Skillful Hands】

【... 】

Seeing this, Meng Zhangqing's pupils suddenly contracted, and a moved expression appeared on his face.
