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

The wind suddenly stopped.

Amidst the ruins, a man and a beast stand facing off.

Compared to the massive, mountain-like, golden-armored rhinoceros king, a fourth-tier lord, Shen Tian was as insignificant as a speck of dust.

But this speck of dust exudes a sharpness that is impossible to look directly at.

"roar!"

The Golden-Armored Rhinoceros King had no patience to play house with this ant.

With a powerful stomp of its four hooves, its massive body transformed once again into a golden bulldozer, crashing down with a ferocious momentum that seemed capable of crushing everything in its path.

This time, it's even faster!

The air was compressed, creating visible ripples and producing a piercing sonic boom.

"Shen Tian! Get out of the way!"

Lin Qingyi shouted at the top of her lungs.

Shen Tian did not move.

Deep within his pupils, a deep blue halo was swirling wildly.

Just as that single horn, powerful enough to pierce a tank, was about to touch the tip of his nose.

Moved.

【Light and Agile Body, Riding the Wind】!

Shen Tian's body seemed weightless, and with the strong wind brought by the Rhinoceros King, he glided lightly to the left like a falling leaf.

The difference is minuscule.

The unicorn whizzed past his ear.

At the same time, the black-gold battle blade in Shen Tian's hand moved.

There was no fancy build-up of power.

It was just an extremely simple upward flick.

puff!

The blade precisely sliced ​​into a joint gap under the rhinoceros king's forelimb armpit.

That place was a blind spot covered in scales.

Blood spurted out!

"roar!"

The Golden Armored Rhinoceros King felt pain, its massive body suddenly paused, and then it swung its sharp claws even more ferociously.

Shen Tian lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his entire body flipped twice in the air in an incredible manner, dodging the sharp claws while simultaneously slashing with his backhand.

puff!

The blade struck the soft flesh at the back of the Rhinoceros King's neck.

It's so deep you can see the bone!

"it's useless!"

In the distance, Reggae shook his head in despair.

"This kind of injury doesn't hurt or itch at all for it!"

really.

The moment Shen Tian landed, the strange flesh buds on the Golden Armored Rhinoceros King's wounds began to writhe wildly once more.

In the blink of an eye.

The wound healed completely without leaving a scar.

"Humans! Die!"

The Golden Armored Rhinoceros King was enraged to the extreme. The intelligence of a fourth-tier beast had enabled it to speak human language!

It roared, its entire body bursting with golden light, and countless golden energy waves spread indiscriminately outwards from its center.

This is a full-screen attack!

There's no way to avoid it!

"Is this the strength of a fourth-tier lord...?"

Ah Fei's face turned ashen.

Under such a comprehensive energy bombardment, even a fly would be killed by the shockwave.

however.

Amidst the golden light, a black figure moved about like a ghost.

Shen Tian's movement technique was extremely unpredictable.

He could always find that fleeting gap in the dense energy waves.

Not a single leaf will stick to you!

Moreover, he was still wielding his knife.

One cut, two cuts, ten cuts, a hundred cuts!

Shen Tian's speed increased, and the black-gold battle blade in his hand transformed into a black storm, raging down on the Golden Armored Rhinoceros King.

Puff puff puff!

The sounds of sharp blades piercing flesh blended together.

The Golden Armored Rhinoceros King roared repeatedly, but he could never catch the slippery flea.

Its wounds kept appearing and healing.

The blood stained the ground red, then instantly evaporated by the high temperature.

This is an extremely tedious war of attrition.

"What is he doing?"

Lin Qingyi stared intently at the battlefield, her brows furrowed.

"At this rate, he'll run out of energy first! He's wasting his time!"

Yes.

To outsiders, Shen Tian looked like a fool trying to scrape an elephant with a pedicure knife.

Although every strike draws blood, it poses no threat to the Rhinoceros King, who possesses an "immortal body."

But Shen Tian didn't think so.

His eyes grew brighter and brighter.

The knife in his hand became smoother and smoother.

The originally rigid "Broken Army Saber Technique" is undergoing a strange chemical reaction under the blessing of the "Seven Aperture Saber Heart".

"Breaking through the mountains is too slow."

"The sweeping attack was too scattered."

"The thrust was too direct."

In his mind, countless insights about swordsmanship surged forth like a fountain.

Those once obscure and difficult-to-understand principles of swordsmanship are now as simple and clear as eating and drinking.

That's what makes the blue talent so terrifying!

He's using this fourth-tier lord for sword practice!

"roar--!!!"

The Golden Armored Rhinoceros King seemed to have also sensed that something was wrong.

The aura emanating from this human is becoming increasingly dangerous.

That sharpness comes not only from the weapon, but from the person himself!

It was afraid.

As a fourth-tier lord, it actually felt a trace of fear towards a second-tier human.

He must be killed immediately!

The Golden Armored Rhinoceros King abruptly stopped moving, his blood and qi burning wildly.

A dark golden ball of lightning, the size of a basketball, condensed on its single horn.

The destructive aura caused the surrounding space to distort.

This is its ultimate move—Earth-Splitting Lightning!

"Go to hell!!!"

boom!

The lightning ball, carrying a devastating force, crashed down on Shen Tian.

This attack blocked all escape routes.

There's no way to avoid it!

Lin Qingyi closed her eyes in despair.

ended.

however.

Right at this moment.

Shen Tian stopped wielding the knife.

He stood still, facing the destructive lightning that roared towards him. Instead of dodging, he slowly closed his eyes.

The wind stopped again.

The whole world seemed to freeze in that instant.

In Shen Tian's mind, all the moves shattered and then reassembled.

In the end, only one cut remained.

A single, clean cut.

A single, decisive strike.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have comprehended the true meaning of the sword in a life-or-death battle!]

The "Breaking Army Saber Technique" has undergone a transformation...

[Congratulations, host! You have mastered a brand new sword technique – "Severing Breath Slash"!]

Shen Tian suddenly opened his eyes.

At that moment, it was as if his eyes had no pupils, only two chilling blade-like glints.

[Insight triggered! Weakness identified!]

[Next attack, critical hit damage increased by 200%!]

That red dot was three inches below the Golden Armored Rhinoceros King's throat, behind that reverse scale.

That's its heart.

It is also the core hub of its life energy.

"End of breath."

Shen Tian's lips moved slightly, and he softly uttered two words.

Followed by.

Clang—!!!

A clear and resounding sword cry echoed through the sky.

It even drowned out the roar of the lightning ball.

No one saw how Shen Tian drew his sword.

Lin Qingyi only felt a blur before her eyes, and a thin black line, as beautiful as moonlight, instantly pierced through the heavens and earth.

Thunderball?

Before that black line, they vanished silently like bubbles.

Indestructible golden scales?

It was cut neatly, like tofu.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Shen Tian's figure had appeared behind the Golden Armored Rhinoceros King at some point.

With his back to the giant beast, he held the knife in one hand and slowly sheathed it.

Click.

The sound of the hilt striking the scabbard was crisp and pleasant.

"impossible……"

The savagery and madness that had been in the Golden Armored Rhinoceros King's enormous eyes instantly froze, replaced by deep terror and confusion.

It wants to move.

But my body felt like it had lost control.

It wants to circulate its qi and blood to repair the injury.

But they discovered that the life force within their bodies was rapidly draining away.

That stab.

It not only severed its physical body.

It also severed its life force and severed its proud "immortal body"!

A thin line of blood slowly emerged from its throat.

Then, it expanded rapidly.

*Pfft!*

It was as if a dam had burst.

The scalding blood of the beast gushed out like a high-pressure water jet, staining half the sky red.

Boom!

The massive, mountain-like body crashed heavily to the ground.

The dust kicked up was several meters high.

Fourth-tier lord, Golden Armor Rhinoceros King.

dead!

[Slay the fourth-tier lord-level beast, the Golden Armored Rhinoceros King!]

[Gained 1000 kill points!]

[Would you like to consume 1000 kill points to plunder the blue talent, Undying Body?]

A pleasant system notification sound exploded in my mind.

Shen Tian stood in the rain of blood, letting the warm liquid soak his entire body.

But he didn't move.

He was savoring the feeling of that knife strike.

That thrill of controlling life and death, of severing all things with a single stroke.

This is... the power of the sword!

This is the true power of the blue talent [Seven Apertures Blade Heart]!

Compared to the damage amplification and the critical strike effect of [Insight], the true value of this blue talent lies in its understanding of the way of the sword.

far away.

The long knife in Lin Qingyi's hand clattered to the ground.

She stared blankly at the figure standing beside the corpse, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

That's a fourth-tier lord...

That's a monster that even heavy artillery can't kill...

Just like that... gone with one stab?

"Holy crap..."

Ah Fei plopped down on the ground, his face displaying an incredibly complex expression, a mix of crying and laughing.

"Brother Lei, did you see that just now?"

"What do you see?" Reggae's voice was hoarse, as if he had swallowed a handful of sand.

"I saw a deity."

Ah Fei muttered to himself.

Reggae took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

He looked at the excessively young figure from behind, his eyes filled with awe.

he knows.

From this day forward, the fate of Po Jun Si will change.

A young man has arrived at the Po Jun Division!

Shen Tian slowly turned around.

He shook the blood beads off his hair, revealing a blood-stained but still cold and stern face.

Looking at the three dumbfounded people, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.

That smile, against the backdrop of blood, looked particularly eerie.
