Injured

Long Chen's eyes narrowed when he saw that the Purple Tiger Beast had remained almost unharmed by his Shadow Sword skill just now.

Its claws were far too strong that even he could not do much damage to it.

Since this was the case, he shall aim for the weaker areas of the Purple Tiger Beast instead.

The Purple Tiger Beast once again charged towards him, this time with even more power and mightiness, like an unstoppable raging bull.

This time, it kicked off the ground just as it was reaching him, it flew a few meters into the air.

On its way down, he raised both its claws and aimed it towards his head, carrying with it terrifying momentum and strength.

Long Chen could feel that the power of this strike was dangerous to him, and instead of going straight for it, he used his movement skill to dodge.

Piercing Cloud Movement!

His figure disappeared from its original position, and the Purple Tiger Beast was confused when he saw that Long Chen had suddenly vanished.

Its two claws still continued to fall towards where Long Chen had once laid, but hit nothing but air.

The Purple Tiger Beast landed with a resounding thump, creating tremors onto the ground. Just then, it sensed danger coming from behind him.

Long Chen swiftly travelled behind the Purple Tiger Beast, and seeing that it had just landed onto the ground and was vulnerable, he swung his sword towards it.

Soaring Sword!

He rose a few meters into the air, and while he was slightly floating, he slashed out his sword three times.

Simultaneously, three glaring sword rays appeared high up in the air, with its tips all pointed towards the Purple Tiger Beast.

With a flick of his wrist, the three sword rays charged its way towards the Purple Tiger Beast with a dominating aura and terrifying strength, causing the air to start howling around them.

Swish!

The three sword rays deeply pierced into the thick body of the Purple Tiger Beast, causing the skin to tear and a layer of flesh to be revealed.

Three arrows of blood flew up into the air as the Purple Tiger Beast was blown a few meters away by the impact of the sword rays on its body.

A low growl was produced by the Purple Tiger Beast, which slowly stood back up amidst its injuries. The fresh red blood that dripped down from its gaping wounds dyed the purple ground a shade of stunning red.

Its eyes that were once purple changed into that of bloodthirst red. All it wanted to do right now, was to tear the human in front of him into pieces for wounding it.

The Purple Tiger Beast ran towards Long Chen again, its mouth opening to reveal its sharp-edged teeth, while it once again ferociously roared out.

Long Chen looked upon this as his battle intent started to surge. For this monster to be able to handle 4 of his strikes meant that it was truly powerful.

He had not experienced such a feeling for a very long time. His eyes burned with passion as he Long Chen similarly charged towards the monster.

Just as both of them were able to impact, Long Chen shifted his feet.

Piercing Cloud Movement!

He swiftly moved towards the left of the monster, and he slashed his sword towards its body.

The Purple Tiger Beast was once again stunned when it saw that Long Chen had disappeared, and when it sensed that he had moved towards the left side of its body, it hurriedly tried to halt its charging motion.

But it was too slow.

Long Chen unleashed 2 consecutive strikes upon the monster, and before the Purple Tiger Beast could react, he dashed towards the other side of the monster and dealt another 2 strikes.

The Purple Tiger Beast cried out loudly as it felt a piercing pain throughout its body. However, it did not fall yet, and the agonizing pain that filled its body only served to fuel its raging anger.

It turned its entire body as fast as it could, and with intense power, it rushed towards Long Chen.

Long Chen, on the other hand, was thoroughly surprised by the Purple Tiger Beast's swift movement, and he tried his best to maneuvers away using his movement skill.

Unfortunately, the Purple Tiger Beast was too close to him, and he was unable to dodge in time.

The Purple Tiger Beast's huge body that carried with it boundless momentum collided against Long Chen, and the disparity in size made him seem like an ant in front of an elephant.

Under the devastating impact, his smaller body flew back a few meters, and collided into a nearby tree, creating a huge sound.

A line of blood ran down his mouth, and he could feel his organs moving about as blood tumbled around.

The fleshly strength of the Purple Tiger Beast was too terrifying, and he was unable to deal with it at all.

This was his first injury he had sustained since he began his journey of cultivating, and as he tasted the blood that ran down the corner of his mouth, he felt his battle intent rising to an unimaginable extent.

Since the Purple Tiger Beast was much stronger than him in terms of its fleshly body, then he shall let it temper his weaker body then!

He kept the sword back within his storage bag, and wiping off the blood from his mouth, he raised two fingers and gestured for the Purple Tiger Beast to come.

The Purple Tiger Beast could sense that Long Chen had been injured, and without hesitating, it hurtled towards him.

Long Chen also did the same. The only difference now, was that he was no longer using his sword to fight, but his fists!

Leopard Fists!

His two fists charged up with his Elementary Qi and pummelled towards the Purple Tiger Beast. As both of them clashed against each other, Long Chen once again flew a few meters from the impact, while the Purple Tiger Beast was knocked back by one step.

He directed his body and positioned himself to elegantly land on the floor. Seeing this result, Long Chen was not discouraged.

The desire to fight was raging out his body, and he yelled, "Come!"

With this, he charged towards the Purple Tiger Beast.

This series of attacks continued for quite some time, and it was always Long Chen who flew back into the air.

But as the fight went on, Long Chen's attacks became even more intense and destructive, and he was no longer knocked into the air, but rather knocked many steps back onto the ground.

The Purple Tiger Beast first retreated by one step, then two, then four, then eight.

Very soon, Long Chen became equally matched with the Purple Tiger Beast. His fists were completely bloodied, and his entire shirt had been ripped and torn into pieces.

Inconceivable pain enveloped his entire body, but Long Chen disregarded this immense pain and concentrated his attention onto the fight.

[Host has gained 1 Proficiency in the skill [Leopard Fists] ]

[Host has gained 1 Proficiency in the skill [Leopard Fists] ]

[Host has gained 1 Proficiency in the skill [Leopard Fists] ]

His proficiency in the Leopard Fists was rapidly rising, and his fleshly body was being tempered again and again as he impacted against the sturdy huge body of the Purple Tiger Beast.

In the end, Long Chen took the advantage, and the Purple Tiger Beast became the one being knocked back into the air.

[Host's understanding of [Leopard Fists] skill has increased from the Accomplished Stage to the Perfection Stage]

After hearing of this notification, and feeling that his mastery over the skill had encountered a break through, Long Chen eyes shone with a glint.

To be able to make a skill go from the Accomplished Stage to the Perfection Stage in just one battle was ridiculously amazing.

"Although I have enjoyed this fight, I'm afraid it has to come to an end." Long Chen muttered as he stared at the weakening Purple Tiger Beast.

Blood had been flowing out of its body throughout the fight, and with the loss of so much blood over a prolonged period of time, along with Long Chen's crazily rising combat power, the Purple Tiger Beast was no longer in good shape.

He threw a final fist upon the Purple Tiger Beast, and the light within the monster's eyes instantly dulled down.

[Host has killed a Grade 3 Monster. Host gains 100 Qi]

It was only after he received this notification that Long Chen slumped down powerlessly onto the ground.

His entire body was battered and bruised after being pummeled and knocked back by the Purple Tiger Beast. Blood ran down from the numerous wounds that decorated his entire body, especially his back.

The worse of all was his fists which were directly used to impact the Purple Tiger Beast. The flesh had been peeled of this fists, and you could even faintly see the white bones that were protruding out.

His hands could be said to be a mangled and mutilated piece of flash that was terrifying to glimpse of. Just the mere sight of it would send a chill down the other's spine, wondering how excruciating the pain would be if that happened on themselves.

The pain that he had momentarily put aside when fighting against the Purple Tiger Beast now came rushing towards his mind, mercilessly destroying his consciousness, leaving him in a pain that was worse than death.

His vision went blurry, and all he could do was scream out in pain.

For someone who had yet to be injured, this burst of pain was nothing but torture to him. He screamed out in agony within the dense forests. The lucky thing was that the region was so concentrated with trees and plants and reflected and absorbed part of his scream back, so his voice did not attract much attention.

The intense pain suddenly overwhelmed the last of his consciousness, and he fell onto the ground with a thump.

And while he was in an unconscious state, all the injuries battering his body were slowly healing themselves as his Elemental Qi naturally began to move and heal up his wounds.

His fleshly body was frantically absorbing and squeezing out the last bit of his Elemental Qi to heal and strengthen itself.

Long Chen was unaware of this, as he was currently swimming in an endless sea of darkness.
