Naked Sword Art

Chapter 188 - 9th Tier Beasts

Xiao Fang’s sword began to emit continuous streams of lightning, giving it a terrifying glow. It was at that moment that the colossal beast stopped smiling.

Even though it couldn’t feel Xiao Fang’s aura after he put on his blindfold, it could tell that his sword was quite formidable just from the way it looked. A greedy look suddenly appeared in its eyes.

...

The first 8th tiered beast that reached Xiao Fang was instantly cut in half. The motion seemed effortless, but the destruction in the swing was jaw dropping.

Not even a second later, Xiao Fang was swarmed by 8th tiered beasts. He dodged and slaughtered anything that stood in his way, but there were just too many of them, so it didn’t take long till he was overwhelmed by their numbers.

Eventually, there was an attack he couldn’t dodge. However, before the attack could hit, Xiao Fang’s aura instantly changed.

[ Fear ]

The beast only hesitated for a moment, but it was enough for Xiao Fang to regain his footing.

[ No Sword Style ]

Xiao Fang swung his left hand, immediately killing the beast that hesitated to strike him. However, the moment he killed it, another one suddenly grabbed him. It was a 9th tier beast.

It immediately lifted Xiao Fang up high into the air with the intention to throw him down as hard as it could.

The other 9th tiered beasts that were watching from afar started hitting the trees in excitement. It seemed as though Xiao Fang was going to meet his end with the next attack.

While the other beasts were prancing around excitedly, the colossal beast was frowning. Xiao Fang never once showed any signs of being in trouble, so it assumed he still had more up his sleeve.

The beast that held Xiao Fang never threw him down, it seemed as though it was frozen in place and lightly spasming. The other 9th tiered beasts eventually caught on to this, making them quiet down.

Suddenly, Xiao Fang forced the 9th tiered beast to open its hand. When Xiao Fang emerged, his appearance completely changed.

His long hair was glowing white and his body was shrouded in lightning. He no longer gave off the impression of an ordinary man, but a deity that had descended upon the earth.

Seeing this, the 8th tiered beasts all lost their will to fight, the 9th tiered beasts frowned, but the abnormal beast hardly reacted at all.

It was clear that the 8th tiers were going to flee, but their lives were already in Xiao Fang’s hands.

[ Floating Leaf Rushing Tide ]

Xiao Fang killed more than 50 beasts in an instant, and defeated several more soon after. The kill count very quickly exceeded 100, but Xiao Fang didn’t show any signs of slowing down. He was relentless with his attacks and the forest was quickly dyed in blood.

Suddenly, Xiao Fang’s ears twitched.

The first time the colossal beast threw a tree at him it went so fast his ears couldn’t even hear it coming. So as Xiao Fang was fighting, he also paid attention to the colossal beast in case it wanted to throw something at him again.

Xiao Fang sensed it pulling a tree out of the ground, so he shifted his full attention to it.

The colossal beast winded its arm back and threw it as hard as it could. The tree was thrown even faster than before.

Xiao Fang swung his sword creating a projectile slash of profound lightning qi towards the incoming tree, and when the attack hit, it completely obliterated the tree into dust.

Since it was made out of wood, Xiao Fang didn’t have any trouble dealing with the attack. However, if the colossal beast had used a real weapon, perhaps Xiao Fang wouldn’t have been able to deal with it so easily.

The colossal beast finally understood the situation it was in, Xiao Fang wasn’t an ordinary boy, he was a malignant star.

Xiao Fang had killed more 8th tiered beasts than he bothered to count, and now there were nothing but beast corpses all around him giving off a thick stench of blood.

Despite how dreaded the scene around him was, his only focus was on what was right in front of him. The colossal beast was coming, and it was bringing the other 9th tiered beasts with it.

Each of the 9th tiered beasts had a battle power equivalent to that of a 5th stage Divine realm practitioner, making them several times stronger than any of the 8th tiered beasts he had just fought against. If there were only a handful of them, perhaps it would’ve been a fair fight, but going up against 52 of them was going to be too difficult to deal with.

[ Illusory Clone ]

Xiao Fang split himself into 3 then went into 3 different directions. One went south deeper into the forest, the other went east towards the mountains, while the real Xiao Fang went west towards the lake.

Unable to decide who to follow, they all looked back at the colossal beast to decide. The colossal beast quickly instructed half of them to chase the one going east, the other half to chase the one going west, and to leave the one going south all to itself.

Xiao Fang didn’t run very fast because he wasn’t trying to escape, he wanted to divide their numbers and lure them to the lake where he would have the advantage. However, before he could even reach it, he suddenly felt one of his clones being destroyed, what followed was a sonic boom.

"Shit!"

Xiao Fang frowned, he underestimated the accuracy of its throws.

With only two Xiao Fangs left, the colossal beast had to decide which one to go to. Seeing it hesitate, Xiao Fang made his clone stop to face the 9th tiered beasts, giving the colossal beast the impression that it was the real him.

A grin appeared on its face as it quickly ran westward towards Xiao Fang’s clone.

Seeing that made Xiao Fang smirk.

’You might be an intelligent beast, but in the end you are still just a beast,’ Xiao Fang thought.

Although he was able to trick the colossal beast into chasing his clone, he knew it would only be a matter of time till that clone was defeated too.

Even though he was only a few minutes away from reaching the lake, he knew he didn’t have that much time to spare. With the colossal beast’s back turned to him, Xiao Fang knew the best time to strike the group that was chasing him was now.

If there were only 10 of them perhaps this would’ve been a fair fight, but fighting 25 at the same time was a bit much even for him.

Finally, Xiao Fang felt his 2nd clone being destroyed.

’Dammit! It’s now or never!’
