Dark Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 113 Close Method

Holding the Qingfeng Sword, Zhang Qing leaped out from his hiding place and thrust the sword at the Tiger-Lion Beast!

He had been preparing for this sword strike for a long time, and in an instant, he unleashed his full power. His whole body was like a taut longbow that suddenly shot out, and the longsword in his hand suddenly emitted a white, shimmering sword light, with the tip of the sword spitting out a sharp aura that was half a foot long.

With 4 points in Physique and 4 points in Martial Arts, plus the infusion of his own mana, Zhang Qing's close-combat fighting ability at this moment far surpassed that of martial artists who had trained for decades.

The sword's edge pierced the air silently and with lightning speed, its precision, speed, and ruthlessness reaching the extreme.

puff!

The Qingfeng sword pierced diagonally into the tiger-lion beast's right eye, easily slicing open the eyeball and penetrating straight into its brain.

It was then pulled out amidst a cloud of blood mist.

The tiger-lion beast, weighing several thousand kilograms, continued to run forward for more than ten steps before suddenly letting out a mournful howl and collapsing to the ground. Its massive body convulsed a few times, and blood mixed with brain matter gushed from its right eye, which had become a hole.

In just a few moments, this powerful and ferocious beast breathed its last!

At this point, the liger had no idea how it had died.

Not far behind, Zhang Qing held his sword and let out a long breath.

The reason he adopted such a "risky" method to kill his prey was because of the powerful melee ability he gained after improving his two major attributes: [Physical] and [Martial Arts].

Zhang Qing felt a pang of regret for having invested so many power points in these two attributes, and even felt that he had acted impulsively.

But he soon stopped regretting it.

Because his martial arts attributes doubled, Zhang Qing's progress in learning the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique greatly improved; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he progressed by leaps and bounds.

Most importantly, in the past, learning swordsmanship was just copying the secret techniques, but now I can understand its profound meaning, comprehend it in my heart, and even master its intent and momentum, thus cultivating at a higher level.

His swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds, so fast that even he himself found it unbelievable!

Not only that, Zhang Qing has also tried to combine magic and martial arts, and has already mastered some simple techniques.

With the enhancement panel, he discovered that he had the potential to become a "melee mage".

Yesterday's ambush perfectly demonstrated this point!

The enhancement of Zhang Qing's two major attributes, [Physical Strength] and [Martial Arts], not only made up for Zhang Qing's own shortcomings, but also gave him a variety of combat methods to deal with battles in different environments.

Therefore, the high-energy points invested previously were definitely worth it!

Today, Zhang Qing took Miao Miao to hunt ferocious beasts, using the same combat methods. In addition to accumulating practical experience, the most important thing was that using a sword could preserve the integrity of the prey to the greatest extent.

If it were the Fire Crow Technique, killing this ferocious beast would be no problem at all.

What kind of prey will be obtained is uncertain.

After all, ligers are constantly in motion, making it difficult to accurately target vital points for a fatal blow. Moreover, the explosive reaction after a hit also causes additional damage to the prey, resulting in a loss of its value.

It could be a huge loss!

The tiger-lion beast lying dead on the ground now has only one wound all over its body; its fur is intact, and its muscles and bones are undamaged.

Its value is second only to capturing it alive!

"Meow meow meow!"

Just then, the kitten girl who had fled earlier returned and let out an excited meow as she looked at the corpse on the ground.

She had just been chased by the tiger-lion beast and was in a terrible state of panic. Now that she had "avenged her great grudge," she naturally wanted to dance on the corpse.

So the catgirl stretched out her feet and stomped hard on the tigon's head a few times.

It conveys the meaning of "You'll see if you chase me again!" or "You'll see if you chase me again!"

Zhang Qing chuckled as he watched her vent her frustration and pent-up emotions, then stepped forward and ruffled the little one's hair: "Alright, stop torturing the corpse. I'll take you back."

Upon hearing his words, the kitten girl immediately lowered her head, revealing a look of disappointment and grievance.

She truly couldn't bear to part with Zhang Qing.

This farewell, who knows when we'll meet again!

Meow~

Miao Miao nestled into Zhang Qing's arms, her face pressed against his chest, her little hands gripping his clothes at the same time.

"take care of yourself."

Zhang Qing was also somewhat sentimental and comforted him, saying, "If you encounter danger, just hide. I'll come to see you again when I have time, in the future—"

When he becomes strong enough in the future to protect the little cat girl in his arms, he will definitely take her away.

But for now, it is actually most advantageous for Miao Miao to stay in this ancient ruin that she is most familiar with.

There are ferocious beasts, evil spirits, and treacherous hunters here, but she can hide very well.

But if you go to the city, there's nowhere to hide!

"Meow."

Although she was very reluctant, Miao Miao still sensibly let go of Zhang Qing.

After sending the kitten back to her hiding place, Zhang Qing bid her a reluctant farewell and then rushed to Canglang Village as quickly as possible.

Upon arriving at the camp, he found a butcher shop, took out the tiger-lion carcass hidden in his storage bag, and entrusted the owner to butcher it.

"Such a huge liger?"

The butcher was stunned to see the prey weighing several thousand kilograms.

The tiger-lion beast is a large ferocious beast among the ferocious beasts. This level of ferocious beast is not something that ordinary cultivators can deal with. It often requires a team to surround and kill it, and only by working together can it be defeated.

The tiger-lion beast that Zhang Qing brought out was not only enormous in size, but its carcass was also remarkably intact.

The butcher hadn't seen anything better in years.

A hint of greed flashed in his eyes!

Such a perfect liger is worth a lot of money.

But when the butcher looked at Zhang Qing again, he subconsciously shivered.

Because Zhang Qingliang produced an identity plaque with the words "Xuanming" engraved on it, which was exceptionally eye-catching.

Xuanming Palace!

This young cultivator is actually a disciple of the Xuanming Palace!

The butcher's head, which had just been in a frenzy, instantly calmed down. His ugly, fleshy face forced an extremely unpleasant smile as he bowed and scraped, saying, "Don't worry, I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly for you, not a single bit will be wasted!"

He had some connections in the camp, but they were completely useless against Zhang Qing, a disciple of the Xuanming Palace.

The butcher was glad that he had only had the idea and hadn't actually done it.

Otherwise, losing your entire family would be the least of your worries!

Xuanming Palace is a major immortal sect, and it also belongs to the demonic sect. How could a nobody like him provoke it?

Zhang Qing put away the nameplate and said calmly, "Hurry up, you'll get your share of the benefits."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The butcher quickly summoned his employees and apprentices, and together they began to butcher and process the tiger-lion beast's carcass.

I dare not have the slightest impure thought again.
