C40 (1/2)

Clang!

The sharp sword was unsheathed and the sword shadows covered the sky. Sword light flashed, and with a loud bang, a ten thousand jin boulder was instantly shattered. Rocks flew about, and smoke and dust rose in all directions.

”He's too slow. He can't kill me in a single blow.” Qiao Nan shook his head, stepping forward, he took a step in the air, staying in mid-air for a breath, and then raised his hand again, releasing another sword strike. The sword aura was extremely sharp, with a boom, all the ancient trees in front of him turned to dust.

The moment he fell from the sky, his feet lightly touched the leaves as if they were the wind blowing through them. Whipping out a whip kick, it created waves of whip shadows and powerful tiger auras. Each kick caused the air to distort.

Gale Force Grass was already quite powerful, and the Heaven Severing Sword Art and the Nine Steps of Heaven Defying was almost on fire.

Qiao Nan shook his head helplessly. He had already trained in Spirit Spring Mountain for almost half a month, and was still unable to destroy the heavens with a single sword strike.

When he thought of how he could only stay in the mountain and wait in the open, he felt a surge of anger.

Qiao Nan looked at his own cave, and suddenly turned and left, he wanted to become stronger, and personally snatch the cave back.

In this place, gold coins were useless. All he used were points, which could be exchanged for anything, including the cultivation method or battle skill that you wanted.

The way to earn points was either to accept missions from the Northern Wasteland Pavilion, or to exchange for demon cores through hunting.

Most people would choose to hunt demon beasts. Not only would they train themselves, they would also get points in passing. As long as they didn't go deep into the mountains, there wouldn't be any danger.

However, accepting missions was much more dangerous. Although the points acquired were high and there would be certain opportunities, the death rate was also very high.

The Octoterra Academy was also known as the Northern Wasteland Academy. It was said that there were Southern Wasteland Academy, Eastern Desolation Academy and Western Wasteland Academy respectively.

Qiao Nan carried a treasure sword on his back, beneath his feet, a strong wind surged, transforming into a wisp of smoke, as he rushed towards the depths of the mountain outside the academy.

The academy was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of mountains. Many demonic beasts roamed the depths of the mountains. Most of the students practiced using demonic beasts, but there were also a lot of people who died tragically when encountering powerful demonic beasts.

However, powerful Demonic Beasts were usually located deep in the mountains. As long as they didn't go deep into the mountains, there wouldn't be a problem.

”Moo!” A black rhinoceros let out an angry roar as a bloody scar extended from its body into its bone marrow.

Two huge clouds of white gas emerged from his nostrils, and one of his hooves was continuously stomping backwards. The sharp horn on his forehead pointed straight at the human youth in front of him.

”I still haven't mastered the Heaven Severing Sword Art yet.” Looking at the bloody wounds on the rhinoceros, Qiao Nan sighed.

If anyone else were to hear this, they would have no idea how many people would be embarrassed. A Rank Two demon beast, especially one like a rhinoceros, had an astonishing defensive power. Normally, the Mortal Realm cultivators would hide and leave when they saw it, but for some reason, he wanted to kill the rhinoceros with a single sword strike!

Qiao Nan had been in the mountains for more than a month, practicing the Heaven Cleaving Sword Art.

Although he had heavily injured the rhinoceros with a single sword strike, he had not been able to deliver a fatal blow to the rhinoceros. Actually, the power behind this strike was already extremely terrifying. It was just that the rhinoceros' thick skin and strong physical body allowed it to withstand this strike.

”Moo! Moo!” The rhinoceros roared. Its four hooves madly trampled on the ground, causing the earth to shake violently as a cloud of dust was kicked up. The sharp horn above his head released a strange light as he smashed towards Qiao Nan.

”Good job.” Qiao Nan shouted as he ferociously stomped his feet on the ground. His entire body shot up as he took a step forward, soaring through the air. The rhinoceros suddenly crashed into thin air, and with a loud bang, a towering tree was smashed into pieces.

Qiao Nan stayed in the air for another two breaths of time, then took a step forward and flew around to the back of the rhinoceros.

The rhinoceros had hit empty air and its center of gravity became unstable for a moment. Then, it was struck by the Gale Grass. With a loud bang, its head fell onto the ground with a loud thud.

”Heaven Severing Sword Draw.” Qiao Nan shouted.

Clang! The sword light moved, and a white light flashed in the sky, bringing with it the force of thunder as it descended. Swift as thunder, drawing the sword, drawing the sword, sheathing the sword, moving swiftly and smoothly, forming in one go.

Boom! A deep gully appeared on the ground. Blood flowed out from the gully.

The rhinoceros was killed with a single sword strike. Only a rhinoceros' horn and a demon core the size of a fingernail were left on the ground.

Qiao Nan laughed with satisfaction, this was the true effect of killing with just one slash.
