Chapter 513: First Battle Against a Level Seven Disaster Beast (Requesting Monthly Votes)

"Roar~"

A stunning tiger roar startled the ten fighters in combat.

It was a massive tiger-like disaster beast, over twenty meters tall, covered in brown fur, its muscles bulging.

Its entire skeletal structure drove the muscles, its body like forged steel, radiating intense pressure.

Lin Qi recognized it at once—it was the Steel-Boned Great Tiger, the object of his visualization practice in the Ten Thousand Disaster Scrolls.

It was also a Level Seven disaster beast.

Not just him—there was another Level Seven disaster beast: a rhinoceros.

Its body was enormous, over twenty meters, like a grim gray fortress, its entire surface covered in thick, metallic-scale armor bristling with sharp bony spines.

This iron armor shimmered with metallic luster under the sunlight.

A massive horn, several meters long, protruded from its forehead, spiraled and razor-sharp at the tip, as if capable of piercing through anything.

Its limbs were thick and heavy, pressing down with overwhelming force.

Lin Qi recognized it instantly—Level Seven disaster beast, Ironclad Rhinoceros!

"Steel-Boned Great Tiger, Ironclad Rhinoceros? Two Level Seven disaster beasts?"

Senior Brother Liang Tai, seeing the two colossal beasts, shuddered violently, his face turning pale.

"Run!!"

One Level Seven disaster beast was already beyond their capacity to handle, let alone two.

Both were among the most dangerous of Level Seven disaster beasts.

Wang Wang Zhixuan, Xiao Yu, and Xi Jing also turned pale.

Without hesitation, they turned and fled.

This was not a battle they could join.

"Roar~"

The Steel-Boned Great Tiger roared to the sky and lunged forward; its body, over twenty meters long, blocked out the sun as it covered dozens of meters in an instant.

Liang Tai felt a terrifying aura rushing toward him, his body screaming warnings.

In an instant, he sensed a foul, bloody wind—already close enough to smell.

He immediately turned, knowing he must pivot and use his long spear to counter, then retreat to dissipate the force.

Otherwise, a direct hit would mean serious injury.

Direct resistance would cause less damage; dodging was too extreme a maneuver.

His nature was to avoid risk.

At the same instant, Lin Qi moved, swinging his black-gold great spear.

"Hummm!"

The spear hummed as golden spear-guang rapidly coalesced—he faced a Level Seven disaster beast.

He had never hunted one before; one misstep could cost Senior Brother Liang his life, so he took this seriously for once.

He channeled all his strength, his body erupting in golden light.

The terrifying aura drew the attention of the red-armored woman nearby; her eyes brightened.

Seventh Realm martialist?

The golden spear-guang instantly formed, spreading until it condensed into a three-meter-long spear-guang, which he thrust forward.

Like a golden arrow shot through the air, ripples surged through the atmosphere.

"Shiiii!"

His gaze locked onto the Steel-Boned Great Tiger's skull!

"Roar!"

A streak of golden light slashed across the sky; the Steel-Boned Great Tiger sensed extreme danger and instantly retracted its paw.

It instinctively shielded its head.

"Bang!!"

The spear-guang slammed into the tiger's paw and exploded.

"Roar~"

A deafening roar erupted as the tiger's paw tore open, blood spraying everywhere.

"Whoosh!"

Liang Tai broke into cold sweat, his legs trembling as he realized he was safe.

His body grew rigid.

Lin Qi's expression turned grave—he hadn't held back, channeling all his spear-guang power.

Yet the damage was even lower than he expected.

"So strong!!"

The red-armored woman inwardly gasped—this man's power was incredible.

He'd wounded the Steel-Boned Great Tiger with nothing but spear-guang; its skin was as tough as ironwood.

Normal attacks against it were like scratching.

Who was he? Why had she never seen him before?

Such unique aura and power couldn't belong to an ordinary martialist.

Lin Qi, his expression grim, spoke to Liang Tai and the others:

"I'll handle the Steel-Boned Great Tiger!"

At that moment, the red-armored woman rose and approached with her sharp sword, apologizing:

"Sorry for involving you!"

Lin Qi shook his head: "No problem."

"On the battlefield, anything can happen!"

"Let's deal with both of them first!"

"Mooouu~"

No sooner had Lin Qi spoken than a low, rumbling roar echoed beside them.

It was the Ironclad Rhinoceros—charging like a moving fortress.

"Boom!!"

The ground shook violently; its spiraled horn pierced the air—anyone caught in its path would die or be grievously wounded.

The red-armored woman called out:

"Ironclad Rhinoceros—watch its horn! Its piercing power is immense; many eighth-rank weapons are forged from its horn."

Lin Qi nodded—he didn't need to be told; they'd studied the Ironclad Rhinoceros in their martial arts fundamentals class.

This beast was among the most formidable of Level Seven disaster beasts.

Its iron armor offered maximum defense; its horn delivered devastating piercing power, and it could withstand direct clashes.

Its horn was its most valuable part—kill it, and you'd earn several thousand merit points.

"Roar~"

Meanwhile, the Steel-Boned Great Tiger felt the pain in its paw.

It roared again, launching a full-body charge, its paw slamming down.

Its paw, blotting out the sky, carried a force of over a hundred tons.

"Whoosh!!!"

Lin Qi became a golden lightning bolt, leaping high into the air, swinging his spear and thrusting repeatedly.

Golden spear-guang erupted like ten thousand arrows, launching ten three-meter-long spears of light.

But he had only just broken into the Seventh Realm—he couldn't yet form dozens of spear-guang in an instant like his teacher Mu Hong.

That demanded impossibly high physical conditioning and source energy.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

All spear-guang struck the Steel-Boned Great Tiger's abdomen, exploding on impact, spraying blood.

The tiger's hide split open, blood splattering everywhere.

The damage was significant—but not fatal.

At the same moment, the red-armored woman engaged the Ironclad Rhinoceros.

She swung her battle sword, channeling sword-guang to strike its metallic scales, producing metallic clangs and showers of sparks.

In an instant, the Steel-Boned Great Tiger's paw struck again—furious, its speed surged dramatically.

Lin Qi activated his movement technique, the Ninefold Thunder Flash, leaving multiple afterimages in place.

He evaded the Steel-Boned Great Tiger's attack.

He activated his 【Golden Eyes】, slowing the tiger's movements in his vision.

Every motion of the beast became crystal clear.

He could even predict its next strike.

He dodged effortlessly.

He continuously unleashed golden spear-guang.

This was his first battle against a Level Seven disaster beast—he felt it was weaker than he'd imagined.

Perhaps because he was too strong.

"Boom! Boom!!"

The ground continually bore the steel-boned tiger's rampage, yet it still could not land a hit on Lin Qi.

With the enhancement of Jin Guang, he moved with extraordinary agility, anticipating every motion of the steel-boned tiger.

Far away, Liang Tai, who had already slain a Level Six calamity beast, watched this scene and sighed:

"Little brother is too strong!"
