the Blackrock Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that time, Jing Yan had hunted down 16 Fanged Wolves, three Two-headed Snakes, and seven Redhorn Tigers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, all the Spiritual Beasts Jing Yan had killed were First-grade Spiritual Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he could exchange the sources he had obtained for more than 100 Spiritual Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaining more than 100 Spiritual Stones within three days was unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even warriors at the Seventh or Eighth Heaven couldn’t expect results anywhere close to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast skin sack on his back had gotten fatter and fatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he kept that pace, it would probably only take him about ten days to fill the sack with all kinds of resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan had originally planned to stay in the Blackrock Mountains for a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected his Spiritual Beast hunting trip to be so efficient, so he hadn’t taken into account how quickly he would rack up kills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan had already traveled more than 10 miles into the Blackrock Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was still technically part of the outskirts of the mountains, there were far more Spiritual Beasts than Jing Yan had encountered when he first entered the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chirp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan had settled himself on a big tree and taken a break to eat and drink when he heard a faint noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face suddenly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sprang to his feet and glanced around nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan was no stranger to the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew exactly what kind of Spiritual Beast made noises like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he was so nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chirp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chirp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound came again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a lot clearer this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan furrowed his brows and raised Moonbeam Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a Shadow Gale Wolf!” “Impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a Shadow Gale Wolf show up here?” Jing Yan’s eyebrows furrowed as he considered the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Gale Wolves were Second-grade Spiritual Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were quite rare, and it was very unusual to see one in the outer area of the Blackrock Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan hadn’t expected to come across a Shadow Gale Wolf there at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to Shadow Gale Wolves, even Sixth Heaven warriors would be nervous, not to mention Jing Yan, who was only at the Fourth Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Blackrock Mountains, more than a few warriors of the Sixth Heaven had been killed by Shadow Gale Wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Gale Wolves weren’t known for the power of their attacks; in fact, their attacks might not be as strong as those of a Fanged Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, they were notorious for their speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name “Shadow Gale Wolf” was partially based on how quickly they could move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some warriors who ventured into the Blackrock Mountains alone didn’t even get a chance to take a good look at the Shadow Gale Wolf attacking them before they were killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to their extraordinary speed, Shadow Gale Wolves were also known for their unique sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who didn’t know better might mistake the sound for that of some small animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Jing Yan’s case, because he had once been a strong warrior at Precelestial rank, he had seen Shadow Gale Wolves before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan hopped off the tree, holding Moonbeam Sword in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He licked his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Gale Wolves were incredibly dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he could kill one, the reward would be significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their unique fur could be used to make a certain kind of gear for warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once a warrior put it on, their speed would be improved significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the scarcity, Shadow Gale Wolf fur was ridiculously expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even most Third-grade Spiritual Beasts wouldn’t sell for as much as Shadow Gale Wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Shadow Gale Wolves were among the very few low-ranking Spiritual Beasts with comparatively higher intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could tell a warrior’s strength level by watching the person breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they encountered someone strong, they would run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, they tended to target weaker solo warriors and hunt them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was apparent that Jing Yan had been targeted by a Shadow Gale Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he wouldn’t have heard the unique sound made only by the elusive creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Qi flow came as a green shadow flashed into Jing Yan’s line of sight, dashing at him from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonbeam Sword stabbed at its target like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword moved so fast that its blade blurred in an arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green shadow flashed by and vanished in front of Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several green hairs danced their way to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan’s eyes grew intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed at the falling hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s too fast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strike of my sword only shaved off some of the Shadow Gale Wolf’s fur?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbelievable!” Jing Yan was impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan calmed down quickly, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his acute senses, he could see the Shadow Gale Wolf very clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Shadow Gale Wolf attempted its attack, Jing Yan had seen it very well as it was flying at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were some regular warrior at the Fourth Heaven, that attack would probably have killed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the warrior survived, they would have been severely injured, and the next attack would have been fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing under the big tree, Jing Yan didn’t move at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seconds ticked away, and yet Jing Yan was still as motionless as a statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Gale Wolf hadn’t made any sound after its attempted attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jing Yan was well aware that it hadn’t left the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Gale Wolves were known for being sly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan had cut off a pinch of its fur, which would only make the creature angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no way the wolf would let Jing Yan go now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chances were that it was waiting for a good opportunity to strike again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This b*stard is very patient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will give it that.” Jing Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could sense that the Shadow Gale Wolf was still lurking nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered the Moonbeam Sword in his hand and relaxed his muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan did this on purpose, trying to lure the Shadow Gale Wolf into taking the initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan was aware that as long as he appeared alert, the Shadow Gale Wolf would keep waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were known for their patience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan once heard a story about a Sixth Heaven warrior who had been hunting in the Blackrock Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Shadow Gale Wolf had followed him for three whole days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was finally about to leave the mountains, he naturally let his guard down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Gale Wolf had chosen that moment to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warrior was killed by the Shadow Gale Wolf’s sneak attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan didn’t want to be followed by a Shadow Gale Wolf for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chirp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chirp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jing Yan acted as if he was letting his guard down, the green shadow appeared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beasts, even smart beasts, are still no match for humans.” Jing Yan raised the corners of his lips as he whipped up Moonbeam Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glistening black sword left a chain of blurred shadows and made a jarring sound as it struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan got his first good look at the Shadow Gale Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only about one-third of the size of a Fanged Wolf, and it didn’t have long fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its primary attack method was to use its sharp claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its claws were pitch-black and poisonous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a regular warrior, even a minor wound on the skin would leave him poisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person would become slow and dispirited.\u003C\u002Fp>",1274,"2026-06-03T10:25:51.540Z",1,"novelbin.me","5b466f11d205104db14a0294033238f91f15700160e4f818faa179616c7a1a18","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-11","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-9",2108,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sword-god-of-the-universe-cover.jpg"]
