11 - 11 Jing Yan, Ecstatic","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-11",11,"\u003Cp>Chapter 11: Jing Yan, Ecstatic Chapter 11: Jing Yan, Ecstatic The instant the glistening black sword struck the green shadow, Jing Yan shifted his body one meter to the left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan’s movements, both the sword strike and the sudden dodge, happened with an unfathomable speed that could only have come from precognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the longsword stabbing through its target resounded around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Gale Wolf screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splashed as the Shadow Gale Wolf’s poisonous claws whistled right past Jing Yan’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature’s attack had come extremely close to landing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Gale Wolf was unbelievably fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn’t been for Jing Yan’s ability of prediction that allowed him to be prepared ahead of time, Jing Yan would have gotten injured instead of the Shadow Gale Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan took a deep breath as his blade connected with the Shadow Gale Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slightly shook his head before he dashed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although anticipating the creature’s movements had allowed him to land a blow, his Vital Qi wasn’t strong enough to bring down the Shadow Gale Wolf in one hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I were at the Fifth Heaven Rank, that one hit of my sword would have immobilized the Shadow Gale Wolf.” “You want to run?” Jing Yan stretched his lips into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, there was no way he would let the Shadow Gale Wolf go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dashed forward to attack again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first strike had hit one of the Shadow Gale Wolf’s rear legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For regular Spiritual Beasts, sustaining damage to a rear leg wouldn’t hamper them too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for a Shadow Gale Wolf that relied heavily on speed, a crippled leg was a serious disability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Gale Wolf screamed like crazy as its green figure streaked away from Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It belatedly realized that the ghost-like sword was approaching its throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Gale Wolf then did something impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It adjusted its position in the air and prevented itself from taking a fatal hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body seemed to possess rubber-like flexibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan’s longsword once again left a long wound on the wolf’s body but failed to kill the creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t believe this!” Jing Yan laughed grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t stop attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one hit didn’t do the job, he would keep swinging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A regular warrior might think that his second strike with the sword would be a guaranteed hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then when things turned out differently, he would be unable to make the third strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with one leg injured, the Shadow Gale Wolf still moved at incredible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a Fourth Heaven warrior couldn’t make a third strike in time, the Shadow Gale Wolf would escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jing Yan was no ordinary warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As confident as he was in the second strike, he didn’t put all his hope into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the second sword strike failed to kill the Shadow Gale Wolf, Jing Yan flowed seamlessly into a third strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how spectacular the Shadow Gale Wolf’s speed was, it stood no chance against the three consecutive strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jing Yan withdrew the sword, the Shadow Gale Wolf’s green body hit the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I finally got this b*stard!” Jing Yan felt relieved at last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he didn’t risk getting close to the Shadow Gale Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he brought his sword down across its neck to cut off its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the fact that Shadow Gale Wolves were quite sly, Jing Yan was afraid that it was faking its immobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might attack him with its last bit of energy if he got too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But cutting its head off would undoubtedly prevent that from happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time to loot!” Jing Yan let a slight grin cross his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knelt to skin the Shadow Gale Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the Shadow Gale Wolf’s body started to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Jing Yan paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Moonbeam Sword glistened as he instantly rose into a combat stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the alertness on his face soon gave way to a look of ecstasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a yellow halo rising from the Shadow Gale Wolf’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The halo didn’t fade away in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it condensed into a ball the size of a fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Soul Crystal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbelievable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a Soul Crystal!” Jing Yan couldn’t even calm himself down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would never have expected that the Shadow Gale Wolf would produce a Soul Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan was no stranger to Soul Crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d seen them before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d even obtained them himself, and that was why he was familiar with their use and value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul Crystals were special items created inside Spiritual Beasts, but very few Spiritual Beasts were able to produce them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that the percentage chance of gaining a Soul Crystal was 0.01%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant that among 10,000 Spiritual Beasts, only one might produce a Soul Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That suggested how rare Soul Crystals were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, not all Soul Crystals were created the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were Low-ranking, Middle-ranking, and High-ranking Soul Crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even Low-ranking Soul Crystals were unbelievably valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul Crystals had particular values to warriors that were hard to put into words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, now that Jing Yan had obtained a Soul Crystal in the Blackrock Mountains, if other warriors in the mountains found out, they would try their best to hunt Jing Yan down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan wouldn’t be safe until he made it back to the Jing Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even after he got back to the Jing Clan, he still couldn’t keep the Soul Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher-up members of the Jing Clan would force him to give the Soul Crystal to the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if Jing Yan was still the No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1 genius of Dong Lin City, the family might not have made him give up the Soul Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was how appealing Soul Crystals were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My luck is just insane!” Jing Yan had to take several deep breaths in a row to calm himself down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around with narrowed eyes to make sure there was nobody nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan then put away the yellow Soul Crystal as fast as he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He skinned the Shadow Gale wolf and cut off its front paws with their pitch-black claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took both the fur and the claws with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan left the spot as soon as he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to stay there any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan didn’t relax until he was about three miles away from where he had killed the Shadow Gale Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were glowing brilliantly with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly recalled the whole process of the fight between him and the Shadow Gale Wolf to learn from the experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next time he came across a Shadow Gale Wolf, he would be able to kill it more quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warrior at the Fourth Heaven had killed a Shadow Gale Wolf all by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if this news spread, nobody would believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would all laugh and call it some made-up story that was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan was probably the only one who could have pulled it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been any other Middle-ranking warrior, they wouldn’t possess Jing Yan’s terrifying prediction ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight with the Shadow Gale Wolf didn’t take Jing Yan too much time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew the risks hidden in that fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that the main reason he was able to kill the Shadow Gale Wolf was that he had cultivated the Arch of Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, today would have been the day that he died under the claws of a Shadow Gale Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>",1257,"2026-06-03T10:25:51.540Z",1,"novelbin.me","409a064b967b62ffb8539dc101f0e658a6e7e8a45250719cc95ccd0b97453f09","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-12","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-10",2108,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sword-god-of-the-universe-cover.jpg"]
