I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

The armored lizard's vertical pupils suddenly contracted.

It sensed an aura emanating from that human boy that made its soul tremble.

That was the oppressive power of those in power.

Roar!

The armored lizard let out a mournful roar, and its massive body advanced instead of retreating. It knew it couldn't escape and had no choice but to fight to the death.

Its massive claws, powerful enough to crush a heavy tank, slammed down on Shen Tian's head with a piercing whistling sound.

If this claw strike lands squarely, not only flesh and blood, but even a solid steel ingot will be smashed into a pancake.

Shen Tian remained expressionless.

His spine undulated slightly, and the pale blue sheen beneath his skin grew even more intense.

Between the joints, a series of crisp, metallic clanging sounds emanated.

That's the resonance between the natural bones and the blade.

Shen Tian gripped the boning knife tightly.

At that moment, his arm bones seemed to merge with the knife in his hand.

[Great Strength] activated.

[Shaking Blade] Activated.

hum-

The boning knife blade began to vibrate wildly at a frequency imperceptible to the naked eye.

The air was shattered, producing a series of piercing buzzing sounds.

The concrete ground beneath Shen Tian's feet suddenly cracked.

He transformed into a blur, charging towards the colossal claw that blotted out the sky.

"cut."

Shen Tian uttered a cold word.

puff!

The once indestructible armor was now as fragile as tofu.

shock.

The high-frequency vibration gives the blade unparalleled cutting power.

A flash of light appeared.

The armored lizard's thick, massive claw was severed at the root!

Large gushes of foul-smelling blood gushed out, like a rain of blood.

The armored lizard let out a pitiful howl, its massive body shaking violently.

Shen Tian did not stop.

His figure twisted back in mid-air in a strange way, as if a mental force had pushed him from behind.

He appeared instantly at the ironclad lizard's neck like a bolt of blue lightning.

The boning knife was swung out again.

It was still that same ordinary, unremarkable slash.

But this cut precisely sliced ​​into the thinnest gap in the armored lizard's scales.

Click!

That was the sound of bones breaking.

Shen Tian's mental power erupted instantly, transforming into an invisible spike that pierced directly into the Ironclad Lizard's brain.

Attack from inside and outside.

The armored lizard's screams abruptly stopped.

Its massive body froze in place before crashing to the ground.

It stirred up a cloud of dust.

A single, peak-level Tier 1 beast is a terrifying existence capable of wiping out an entire squad of seasoned hunters.

And so, he died at the hands of a high school student.

He died cleanly and decisively.

They didn't even have a chance to resist.

In the ruins.

A deathly silence.

One-Eyed and Baldy stared blankly at the corpse of the giant beast, then looked at Shen Tian standing beside the corpse, slowly wiping the blade of his knife.

Their minds went completely blank.

They even forgot to breathe.

What just happened?

A knife.

Just one cut.

The terrifying tremor, even from more than ten meters away, made their bones feel numb.

What's even more terrifying is Shen Tian's calmness when he killed someone.

He didn't look back when he killed the monkey.

He didn't change color when he killed the armored lizard.

This boy is simply a born killing machine.

Shen Tian sheathed his knife and turned his head.

His gaze was as calm as a stagnant pool.

"This armored lizard is at the peak of Tier 1."

Shen Tian's voice echoed across the empty square.

"How should the profits be distributed according to the previous agreement?"

One-Eyed shuddered and snapped back to his senses.

distribute?

He looked at the monkey on the ground, then at the carcass of the armored lizard.

His Adam's apple bobbed violently, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

In the past, he might have had some ulterior motives regarding the materials worth 500,000.

But now.

He wouldn't dare even if you gave him ten times the courage!

Spiritual meditator.

This kind of profession, where awakening grants invincibility, is like being a god in the wilderness.

What's the difference between offending a future spiritualist and courting death?

Moreover, Shen Tian's swordsmanship is ridiculously strong.

That's an explosive power that no human could possibly possess.

One-Eyed even suspected that Shen Tian's strike just now could have harmed even a second-tier alien beast.

"Mr. Shen...you must be joking."

The one-eyed man's voice carried a clear air of flattery and awe.

He didn't even dare to call Shen Tian by his name directly, but instead used a respectful title.

"You killed this beast entirely by yourself; we...we didn't contribute at all."

"And if it weren't for you, we might have all been tricked by that beast monkey."

As he spoke, One-Eyed secretly observed Shen Tian's expression.

Seeing that Shen Tian didn't get angry, he wiped his sweat and continued:

"This armored lizard rightfully belongs to you."

"All the materials, all the profits, are yours."

"We are already grateful for your great mercy in sparing our lives, Mr. Shen."

The bald man realized what was happening and nodded his head vigorously.

"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Shen, that beast is too fierce. We would have been dead long ago without you."

"How could we dare ask for any allocation?"

"If you think highly of us, we'll be your laborers and help you dismantle this beast's remains."

The bald man spoke very sincerely.

In the wilderness, strength is everything.

Shen Tian's displayed strength has completely won them over.

More importantly, they were afraid.

The monkey's body was still warm.

They feared that Shen Tian, ​​wanting to monopolize the profits, would also deal with them.

After all, this is the wilderness.

It's perfectly normal for a few hunters to die.

Shen Tian looked at the two of them with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

He knew perfectly well what those two were thinking.

If he were just an ordinary mortal martial artist, One-Eyed would definitely try every means to devour Big Head.

But now, he has demonstrated the methods of a psychic.

This kind of deterrent is more effective than any contract.

"Since you put it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Shen Tian spoke calmly.

"You guys are experts in material disassembly."

"Let's get started."

One-eyed and bald were granted a pardon.

"Alright! You rest, leave the heavy lifting to us!"

One-Eyed shouted excitedly, as if he had received some kind of reward.

He deftly pulled a complete set of professional peeling knives and specially made serrated blades from his backpack.

The bald man, ignoring his injuries, eagerly ran over to help.

The two were busy tending to the carcass of the armored lizard.

Shen Tian sat on a broken stone pillar, closing his eyes to rest.

In reality, he was sensing the changes within his body.

Although the battle just now was brief, it was of great significance to him.

That was the first time he unleashed his full power with [Innate Blade Bone] and [Shaking Blade].

That feeling was really great.

It was as if his whole being had transformed into a sharp blade, invincible.

Moreover, I'm becoming more and more adept at using my mental power.

If combined with throwing knives...

Shen Tian had already begun planning the equipment he would purchase upon returning home.

"Mr. Shen, look!"

The one-eyed man's voice interrupted Shen Tian's thoughts.

One-Eyed was covered in sweat, holding a huge piece of black scale armor in his hands, his face filled with wild joy.

"This is the most complete piece of the armored lizard's breastplate!"

"This one piece alone can fetch 80,000 on the black market!"

"And these four sharp claws are excellent materials for making armor-piercing arrows."

Shen Tian walked over and looked at the body that had been dismembered into pieces.

It must be said that these two were indeed very skilled.

Skin is skin, bone is bone; not a single bit is wasted.

"And this too."

One-Eye carefully pulled a blood-stained fleshy pouch from the armored lizard's abdomen.

He lightly flicked it with his knife.

A crystal the size of a thumb, gleaming with a dark yellow light, rolled out.

"Beast Core!"

The bald man exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with envy.

The probability of a first-tier peak alien beast producing crystal cores is not high.

This stuff is hard currency.

It can be used for cultivation, and it can also be sold for an astronomical price.

"This crystal core is worth at least 200,000."

One-Eyed swallowed hard, suppressing his greed, and offered the food to Shen Tian with both hands.

Shen Tian took the crystal core.

It feels cold to the touch, yet you can sense a violent energy within it.

"good."

Shen Tian put the crystal core into his pocket.

"Let's continue, take everything we can."

For the next hour, One-Eyed and Baldy completely transformed into professional butchers.

They stripped the most valuable parts of the armored lizard and packed them into a specially made alloy backpack.

It filled three large bags.

Shen Tian weighed the items in his hand; the total value of these things definitely exceeded 600,000.

This was a huge sum of money that he would never have dared to dream of before.

"Mr. Shen, it's all packed up."

The one-eyed man carried a heavy bag on his back, his face beaming with smiles.

"Should we go straight back to the city, or...?"

Shen Tian was about to speak.

Sudden.

His brow furrowed suddenly.

In my mental perception, an extremely violent aura was rapidly approaching from the depths of the ruins.

That speed was extremely fast.

"Walk!"

Shen Tian gave a low shout, his eyes instantly turning sharp.

One-Eyed and Baldy were taken aback.

"Mr. Shen, what's wrong?"

Something's coming.
