Chapter 23: Niu Wen's Divine Knife Technique

  A raging inferno was approaching, like a sea of fire and a ferocious beast that wanted to devour everything. Chen Luo's eyes were quick and his hands were fast, he stood on the branch and jumped up, one foot kicked against the trunk, borrowing strength to rush out directly. In comparison, Niu Ying was not so lucky, his head was bigger and he hadn't cultivated any special skills. When the big fire came, he also pulled himself out by holding onto the tree trunk, but it was too late, when he reached mid-air, the flames had already engulfed him.

  He fell to the ground, and the cow dung quickly rolled over, getting up with several holes in his clothes, and a lot of hair was burned off, his eyebrows were yellow, Chen Luo looked at him and asked with a smile: "Are you okay?"

  The ox demon scratched its head, pulled down a burnt strand of hair, shook its head, indicating that it was unscathed.

  Bang!

  A giant, resembling a fierce tiger, emerged before the two men. This fellow was over five feet tall, with a head like a tiger's and a luxuriant growth of fiery red hair all over his body. His eyes glowed like two balls of fire as he glared at the pair, baring his teeth in a series of furious roars.

  Flareon!

  "Be careful!"

  The ox horn shouted loudly, quietly pulling out the iron gun hanging on his back and standing it up beside him. According to the tactics previously agreed upon by the two, Ox Horn was in charge of attracting the attention of the Fire Cloud Beast, while Chen Luo would take advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. However, after what had just happened, Chen Luo took a look at Ox Horn, who looked rather disheveled and comical, and suggested: "My speed is a bit faster than yours, why don't I be the one to lure it instead?"

  "Be careful!"

  The ox demon knew that its speed was no match for them, so it circulated the seven meridians of spiritual energy and grasped an iron spear, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

  Chen Luo stared at the Huoyun Beast, his expression fearless and dauntless. Indeed, in the past, he could casually set up a formation to slaughter these creatures like squashing ants. As long as he wanted to, he could set up more formations and traps, and by the next day, there would be a large number of Huoyun Beast corpses lying there. Although his spiritual power was currently weak and unable to set up formations, relying on his own strength alone, there was nothing to fear.

  "I went ahead, you follow afterwards."

  Chen Luo's voice was light and casual, he took a few steps forward with his large chopping knife, then suddenly exerted force, his body leapt into the air. At the same time, the Fire Cloud Beast let out a loud roar, its mouth spewing out a fierce blaze of fire. In an instant, Chen Luo's figure vanished from where he was standing, leaving behind only a residual shadow. When he reappeared, he rotated the six meridians of spiritual energy within his body, gathering them at the tip of his large chopping knife.

  With a clang, the knife chopped onto the Fire Cloud Beast's forehead, but it was as if chopping on a copper wall and iron wall. The Fire Cloud Beast's forehead only showed a bloody mark.

  "It's really hard!"

  Chen Luo knew that the Huoyun beast's skin and flesh were as hard as iron, but he hadn't expected it to be this tough. Just as the Huoyun beast was about to swallow him with its open mouth, Chen Luo hastily retreated. Meanwhile, Niu Ying let out a loud shout, his hands waving wildly as his iron spear emitted a yellow glow, resembling a dragon in his grasp.

  "Magic Cudgel!"

  Yellow-grade intermediate-level spiritual formula, Ox Scourge seemed to have refined this spiritual formula to its peak. A single rod contained the intention of subduing demons. With a loud crash, one rod smashed onto the Fire Cloud Beast's body, instantly tearing open a wound over half a meter long on its skin membrane, and also knocking the Fire Cloud Beast to the ground.

  Take advantage of its illness and take its life.

  The ox was about to swing its iron spear again, when the fire cloud beast got up, opened its mouth and spewed out a large flame. The ox dodged with a roll but still couldn't avoid it, and flames erupted on its body. Meanwhile, Chen Luo directly threw his big chopping knife to the ground, took three steps in two strides, leaped forward, leaned his body forward, raised his arm, circulated his six meridian spiritual power, and launched the peak stage of his Tiger Might Infinite Fist. The violent spiritual power condensed into a tiger head, shaking the air flow and sending it flying everywhere. One punch landed on the fire cloud beast's forehead, BOOM! A concave fist print was directly smashed onto the fire cloud beast's skull.

  At the same time, Niu Ying stood up straight and swung his iron spear again, striking the Huoyun Beast with another Fumo Stick. The Huoyun Beast let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground, trying to open its mouth to spit fire. Chen Luo took an arrow step forward, his body flashing continuously, leaving behind two residual shadows. He raised his arm, unleashing the Tiger's Fury No-Shape Fist. When the two residual shadows overlapped with him, three completed stages of the Tiger's Fury No-Shape Fist struck the Huoyun Beast's head!

  Air explosion, air flow chaos!

  Boom!

  Huoyun beast was punched by Chen Luo, the entire head was buried in the pit, and when the four legs were kicking wildly, Niufei added another shot, and Huoyun beast completely stopped moving.

  Chen Luo found that this close combat was very exciting, but also very tiring. If it were a formation, he could just cast a few hand seals and play with the Huoyun Beast like playing with a small chicken. Seeing the Huoyun Beast motionless, he asked uncertainly: "Is it dead?"

  "It's out of breath, it should be dead, but let's wait a bit longer, some Huoyun beasts will pretend to be dead." Compared to Chen Luo, Niu Ying was extremely miserable, with more than ten holes in his clothes and his hair burned to a yellowish brown.

  Two men waited for a while, and after Cow Fly repeatedly confirmed it, he walked over, grabbed the neck of Huoyun Beast, took a deep breath, and used all his strength to pull Huoyun Beast's head out of the pit. When he saw Huoyun Beast's head, its eyes were wide open in shock, but was that still a head? It looked like a deflated balloon with a visible fist print on it. What shocked him even more was that Huoyun Beast's neck had gone soft. Cow Fly touched it and couldn't help but take a cold breath - the bones inside Huoyun Beast's neck were... all shattered.

  He looked at Chen Luo with an extremely unbelievable gaze, opened his mouth, but hesitated again. In his heart, he was secretly shocked: My mother, this punch of his is much more ruthless than some primary wizards!

  "What's wrong?" Chen Luo found that Niu Ying's gaze was not right and asked, "Was it too severe to hurt some valuable things?"

  "It's nothing... it doesn't matter."

  The ox demon took out three sharp knives from his bundle, one over a meter long, one over half a meter long, and one as long as a finger. Next, a scene that made Chen Luo gasp in amazement appeared. The ox demon turned the Huoyun beast over, raised his knife and hacked at it once, twice, three times... It was unclear how many knives the ox demon had used on the Huoyun beast's body. After stopping, he pulled gently at the Huoyun beast's skin, and its fur came off, without a single thread of blood or flesh, intact and complete. The Huoyun beast was still there, lying in the same place, the only difference being that it had lost its fur.

  The ox demon picked up a foot-long knife and slashed it several times. As he sheathed his knife, a miraculous scene unfolded before their eyes. With a rustling sound, the flesh on Huoyun Beast's body naturally fell off, piece by piece. The remaining skeleton of Huoyun Beast lay quietly there, clean and white, without any blood or flesh, not even a drop of fresh blood.

  Looking at this scene, Chen Luo only felt that it was unbelievable and strange, as if he had seen an old witch staring at the cow with a weird gaze. In his heart, he secretly thought: The old cow's knife technique is simply divine, damn it, if he used it on his opponent, a few knives would go down, and the opponent wouldn't even know what happened, probably leaving only a skeleton behind.

  Chen Luo used to think that Niu Ying was just a simple and honest man, until he saw this scene, his inner self redefined Niu Ying, a butcher, a perfect butcher, a thorough butcher.

  He was marveling at Niú Zhēi's incredible knife skills, while Niú Zhēi gazed at Huǒ Yún Shòu's skeleton and marveled at Chén Luò's fierce spiritual power. Because he discovered... that every bone of Huǒ Yún Shòu had numerous fine cracks, yes! Every single bone had multiple cracks. Lifting his arm, Niú Zhēi shook slightly and struck Huǒ Yún Shòu's skeleton with a loud crash.

  Splash!

  Shattered! The Fire Cloud Beast's skeleton shattered in an instant, turning into a pile of broken bones.

  The ox horn only felt a numbness on its scalp, inhaled a mouthful of cold air, and almost didn't come up, its head spinning dizzily, its dark face turning iron green, the muscles at the corners of its mouth twitching. Having seen the Fire Cloud Beast's head being flattened by Chen Luo's one punch earlier was already unbelievable to it, now seeing the Fire Cloud Beast's bones all shattered, it finally knew how terrifying Chen Luo's one punch was. One punch! One punch had shattered all of the Fire Cloud Beast's bones, and it couldn't even imagine what degree of violent spiritual power would be required for a person to shatter the Fire Cloud Beast's bones with just one punch.

  Niu Feng used to think that Chen Luo looked like a pretty boy, with fair skin and a slender build. Sometimes he would even wonder what it would be like if Chen Luo wore girls' clothes - no one would be able to recognize him. That was his impression of Chen Luo in the past. But now, he had completely changed his mind about Chen Luo. This guy had a pretty face, but his spiritual power was as wild and violent as a savage beast!

  No matter whether it's Chen Luo or Niu Wen, they have gained a new understanding of each other, and although their three views haven't been completely destroyed, they are not far off.

  In the following days, the two came to the lake that Niuwen had found earlier. As he said, every now and then a few Huoyun beasts would come here to bathe. The two people worked together, one luring and the other ambushing, and in a few days they killed six Huoyun beasts, reaping a rich harvest, making Niuwen laugh with his mouth open wide. Without saying more, just the six Huoyun beast's magic cores could be exchanged for a large amount of spiritual stones.

  After teaming up with Chen Luo for a few days, what struck Niu Wen the most was that this guy's brain was incredibly smart, so smart it was unbelievable. After hunting three Fire Cloud Beasts, Chen Luo had already figured out their characteristics. The fourth Fire Cloud Beast was taken down by him alone, and although he struggled at first, when he took on the fifth one, it was relatively easy. When he took on the sixth one, it was almost a one-punch kill.

  The only thing that puzzled Niu Feng was that Chen Luo had already possessed the strength to instantly kill Huo Yun Beast, but he didn't do so. Instead, he just confronted Huo Yun Beast and didn't make a move, dodging back and forth. It would have been fine if it were just one, but just now, another Huo Yun Beast arrived here. At this moment, Chen Luo was fighting two Huo Yun Beasts alone.

  The ox demon hid behind and waited for an opportunity to move, watching Chen Luo being attacked by the two fire cloud beasts from front and back. It really made him sweat a bit, not that he didn't want to go up and help, but Chen Luo didn't let him. Although he was a bit dull, he wasn't stupid, and by now he had roughly guessed Chen Luo's intention, which should be to use the fire cloud beasts to practice his fist.

  Actually, Niu Ying's guess was not entirely correct. Chen Luo was indeed using the Huo Yun Beast to practice his fist, but more importantly, he was observing the majestic aura of the Huo Yun Beast. The Huo Yun Beast also had another name, the Huo Yun Tiger Beast, because its shape and aura were no different from those of a fierce tiger. When Chen Luo first fought against the Huo Yun Beast, he didn't have any special feelings, but after exchanging blows four or five times, he felt that he had gained some insight from the beast's aura, and was certain that once he grasped it, he would be able to perfect his Tiger Aura No-Shape Fist.

  This feeling is very subtle, like a person covering their eyes and trying to catch a rabbit in the room. Clearly knowing that the rabbit is in the room, but after grasping for half a day, still can't grasp it.

  Hoo-hoo!

  The big fire spat out by the two-headed Fire Cloud Beast had burned Chen Luo's robe into four or five holes, and his hair was also slightly charred, but he didn't care at all, still dodging and observing the two Fire Cloud Beasts.

  It seems that the two-headed Fire Cloud Beast was also extremely enraged, having attacked for so long and spat out so much fire, yet this little guy still refused to die. This made those with the Tiger Emperor's bloodline unable to contain their anger.

  Ahh! Ahh!

  In an instant, two larger Fire Cloud Beasts sprinted at top speed towards Chen Luo, pounced on him with a sudden burst of speed, opened their huge mouths, spewed out flames, and exuded a fierce and overbearing aura.

  Standing there, Chen Luo stared tightly, and his originally dim eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

  Alright.

  Fierce intention, overbearing soul!

  Domineering is the soul of tiger's might!

  Xiao Cheng beats its shape.

  Dà chéng dǎ qí wēi.

  Translation: Great success strikes with its might.

  The pinnacle of its kind.

  Perfectly capture its essence.

  With a single thought, thoughts connected, Chen Lu's mouth curled up with a smile, took a step back, rotated the six meridians to transform his spiritual power, swung both arms, five fingers clenched into fists, and spiritual power wrapped around. The violent spiritual power shook the air current, causing it to wildly surge about. When both fists were swiftly struck out, countless spiritual powers burst forth from all over his body, causing the air to explosively detonate in succession. A piercing sound of breaking wind, like a fierce tiger's roar, surrounded him as countless spiritual powers astonishingly coalesced into a golden-yellow colored ferocious tiger.

  Fierce tiger, seemingly virtual and real, with feet over two meters long, the king of the forehead, fully displaying its overbearing manner, with endless might in its tiger eyes.

  Ahhhhh!

  The stormy tiger's roar set off a frantic wave of turbulence that spread wildly, causing the water in the lake to churn out like boiling water.

  Whoa! The majestic soul of the Tiger's Fury swooped past, and in an instant, the two Fire Cloud Beasts that had attacked were shattered into fragments. Fresh blood rained down, flesh and blood flying everywhere.
