Chapter 16 - Killing
After being struck by Lei Yang, the blazing bear was actually standing straight in its anger, and roared while beating its own chest, as though it was trying to demonstrate to Lei Yang that it was not afraid of any attack, and there was even disdain and contempt in its eyes. In the end, it roared towards Lei Yang with its sharp claws, and with a heavy force, it sliced through the air, causing waves of sharp sounds of explosions.
This strike appeared to be extremely powerful and heavy, it was incomparably ferocious. Before Lei Yang completely understood its strength, he naturally would not dare to act rashly.
This was a Goblin Beast that had some intelligence. Even if Lei Yang's physical body had surpa.s.sed the heavens, he would not be arrogant enough to think that he had a long life.
In a split-second, Lei Yang moved his body horizontally, barely dodging the fatal blow. However, he was still a bit too slow, in the end he was. .h.i.t by a sharp claw, and although he was only slightly hit by it, two deep b.l.o.o.d.y wounds immediately appeared on his right shoulder.
He lost his center of gravity as well, rolling on the ground far away as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.
He suddenly felt his entire arm go numb as if he had lost all feeling. He looked down and saw that his clothes had been torn and blood was flowing from his right shoulder. It seemed that his injury was not light.
Merely a quick check by the Fire Demon Bear's giant claw already caused such harm, allowing Lei Yang to quickly estimate that the Fire Demon Bear was at least at the peak of the seventh level of human spirit energy, which was far from what his current cultivation could compare with. As a result, he immediately understood that he would only be able to use wits to defeat it today.
Although it was a huge beast, its body was not clumsy at all. On the contrary, it had a certain advantage in speed, which gave Lei Yang a headache. He swore that if he were to escape from danger today, he would definitely go to the Scripture Pavilion to choose a speed-type cultivation technique.
Even though the demonic bear's claws had detected Lei Yang, most of its force had directly struck a tree behind Lei Yang, where two people were hugging.
With a hong sound, the huge tree was immediately smashed apart by the huge force. Broken limbs flew everywhere, and dust and dirt flew about within the forest. It was a terrifying scene.
When the Fire Goblin Bear saw that the attack did not manage to shatter Lei Yang who was as insignificant as a bug, it immediately became furious, and attacked Lei Yang constantly with its sharp claws, causing the air in the forest to howl as leaves danced wildly. Its huge body was like a red tornado, sweeping towards Lei Yang.
Lei Yang didn't care about the pain in his right shoulder in the slightest. Seeing that the incoming Fire Demon Bear was getting closer and closer, his pupils contracted fiercely as he kicked off from the ground lightly, flying straight towards the rapidly approaching Fire Demon Bear.
He did not want to fight with it, but just as he was about to get close to the huge body of the Fire Demon Bear, he dodged its sharp claws, and actually went through his armpits, going around to its back. At the same time, he raised his fist and punched the bear's back.
”Boom!” A m.u.f.fled sound echoed out, Lei Yang felt as if his fist had hit a steel wall, and at the same time that his fist was in pain, he was sent flying by a strong force. His heart was filled with shock. His fist was strong enough to crack open a mountain, but it couldn't penetrate a demonic beast.
”Demonic beasts really have rough skin and thick fles.h.!.+” Lei Yang finally muttered, his eyes full of shock.
”AWOOOOOOO!” Clearly, Lei Yang's powerful punch had also caused it obvious pain. He turned around, and when he looked at Lei Yang again, the disdain in his eyes had greatly decreased.
In an instant, the man and the bear started fighting again in the jungle. Although the Fire Demon Bear was extremely fast, its huge body made it very difficult for it to quickly turn around, so its back became its fatal weakness.
Lei Yang relied on his agility and shuttled back and forth under its armpits, barely managing to deal with it. However, it was always extremely thrilling and dangerous every time he did so. (TL: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU))
In the blink of an eye, the man and the bear had already exchanged more than ten blows, and there were a few times when Lei Yang was forced to fight against it, but he had no choice but to do so. The blazing bear's huge strength directly shook Lei Yang's vital energy and blood, but that blazing bear did not seem to be in a good mood under Lei Yang's powerful fists, as it continuously roared in pain.
In the midst of its anger, the Fire Demon Bear seemed to have received a huge provocation, its huge body actually stopped moving all of a sudden, and opened its mouth to inhale, as if it was trying to brew something. Lei Yang's heart suddenly started to jump wildly, and the instincts of his body made him retreat quickly without thinking at all.
As expected, the moment Lei Yang retreated, the Fire Demon Bear suddenly opened its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth, and spat out an incomparably scorching ball of flame. The flame grew in the air, and turned into a sea of fire within thirty meters of its body, emitting a high temperature that caused one's heart to palpitate.
Lei Yang was shocked, and inwardly rejoiced. It was fortunate that he reacted in time, otherwise, he would be in danger.
Demonic beasts all have their own demonic arts, so this should be the demonic art of the bear. Everyone knew that this Fire Demon Bear's fur was red like fire, but a few people knew that its name originated from its Destiny Demonic Art.
”Be careful of that flame, don't let it touch your body!” At this time, atop the tree trunk far behind Lei Yang, the woman seemed to have recovered some of her consciousness.
”AWOOOOOO!”
Seeing that Lei Yang had dodged its attack, the Fire Demon Bear faced upwards and roared, and as if it had gone insane, its mouth continuously spat out blazing flames, causing the sea of fire within a thirty meter radius around it to become even more terrifying. As it moved, the entire sea of fire also moved towards Lei Yang.
The scorching flames turned the surrounding vegetation into ashes, the rocks dissolved, and the jungle turned into scorched earth. Lei Yang's body was burning hot. He felt like he was about to spill oil, and was forced into a corner and had no choice but to continuously retreat, causing him to move further and further away from the big tree that the lady in white was sitting on.
When the blazing bear forced Lei Yang to a distance of over fifty meters away, it actually ignored Lei Yang and abruptly turned around, rus.h.i.+ng straight towards the big tree. It was as if it had a deep hatred for that woman and would not rest until it was dead. Before it even arrived in front of the tree, it opened its mouth and spat out a ball of scorching flames that flew towards the white-clothed woman, seeking to kill her.
Although the woman in white had regained some of her consciousness, her body was still extremely weak. She could not move at all. She could not respond to the sudden attack. She fell into danger and despair appeared in her eyes.
In the time it took for a spark to ignite, Lei Yang did not rush to think through it. When the Fire Demon Bear almost turned around, he immediately reacted and understood its real purpose, his two legs fiercely squatted down, and his cultivation at the early fifth level of the Spirit Qi realm exploded. He stacked with his extreme physical strength and flew out like a cannonball, smas.h.i.+ng straight towards the Demon Bear.
”Bam!”
A m.u.f.fled sound of flesh colliding could be heard as Lei Yang's body solidly crashed into the right side of the demonic bear's back.
