Chapter 71 – They All Died (1/2)
Chapter 71 – They All Died
The Ghostly Mountain Range.
Early morning.
Luo Tian was leaning against a large tree with his eyes close for a brief respite.
He was somewhat tired from speeding through the forest at top speeds. He had consumed over half his profound energy, but the good thing about this was his Shadewind Steps had risen to level 2.
Its speed was much faster than level 1.
How can a martial skill that Ji Ning cultivated be bad?
“Whoosh~… whoosh~…”
The sound of tree leaves rustling was heard.
This was then followed by the sound of a snake slithering. Luo Tian slowly opened his eyes and a brief blue light was reflected off his pupils. He held his breath without moving and quietly waited.
A Blue Patterned Python was cautiously approaching him.
Its two greedy looking eyes stared at Luo Tian below the large tree. It was indulging in an internal monologue since it found a trashy human being, thinking it would have a full meal.
It twisted its body while cautiously getting closer.
Wanting to survive in such a dangerous place, demonic beasts had to be extra careful even when facing opponents that looked very weak. There was no telling if the target or a group of targets were actually demonic beasts stronger than one’s self.
The distance grew closer and closer.
The Blue Patterned Python made a “hiss” sound before shooting forth like lightning.
It opened its bloody mouth revealing a pair of fangs dripping with green venom. Once one was bitten, even a strong opponent would suffer a moment of paralysis.
Within the flash of lightning…
Luo Tian’s lips curved into a smile while a breeze blew by. He then softly roared out: “Shadewind Steps!”
His body blurred into a shadow and immediately disappeared from his spot.
The Blue Patterned Python naturally struck nothing but air. Just as it began to panic, it felt a sense of danger coming from behind.
Its tail unconsciously slammed down as its body shot off like an arrow.
“Level 2!”
Luo Tian softly roared out again as his body once again disappeared. This time his speed was even faster than before, and his aura seemed to have been hidden all of a sudden.
“Level 2 Shadewind Steps!”
His speed had been increased by fifty percent. That’s nothing noteworthy because the most important thing was Luo Tian’s aura would also disappear for a brief moment.
When experts fought, their ability to sense things was very important.
No matter how fast one can become, as long as the aura of you was still around, an expert could lock down your position. A single strike was all that’s needed to end you!
This was the most beneficial part of the level 2 Shadewind Steps.
Martial Skills could be leveled up – something even main characters in the novels couldn’t do. But Luo Tian could, and now he was able to promote Ji Ning’s Shadewind Steps to a much stronger level. This was simply too awesome!
The Blue Patterned Python’s expression greatly changed as it realized it had encountered a difficult opponent.
Dozens of years of experience told this python that this human being was someone it shouldn’t have messed with.
Within an instant…
The Blue Patterned Python twisted in a new direction and started drilling into the bushes.
“You want to escape? This daddy hasn’t played enough yet.”
He was still getting used to the newly leveled up Shadewind Steps. In just a few encounters, Luo Tian was able to mess with this rank 3 Blue Patterned Python big time. This caused him to become extremely excited.
Luo Tian roared out as he watched the Blue Patterned Python try to escape. Why would he let it go?
There was experience and profound energy involved!
Luo Tian coldly humphed before stomping down and leaping into the air. He twisted his body in midair and arched his legs for support, then shot straight down like bullet slamming his heavy right fist down.
“Boom~!”
His fist accurately slammed on top of the Blue Patterned Python’s head, turning it completely into meat paste.
The Blue Patterned Python’s body curled and twitched a few times before finally becoming stiff.
Instant kill!
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for killing a Blue Patterned Python. You have gained 600 experience points, 60 profound energy…”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for gaining the Blue Patterned Python’s blood essence.”
“Ten Thousand Beast Lineage value +1.”
After the system’s tone alert, Luo Tian then glanced at his Ten Thousand Beast Lineage value before checking his Undefeated value to see the amount of points needed to exchange for the Azure Dragon bloodline. His expression couldn’t help but look like a frozen eggplant at this time.
His current Undefeated value was 97 points.
The Azure Dragon bloodline required 2000 points.
The difference was too motherf*cking big!
He then went back to the Ten Thousand Beast Lineage value and realized that it would become more difficult to increase the Lineage value because a lot of demonic beasts were technically from the same lineage. Wanting to gain new bloodlines will require him to kill different types of demonic beasts.
