The mountain forest was dark and eerie.
Over a hundred Blood Wing Flying Tigers surrounded from all directions, all fierce and terrifying, exuding a ferocious aura.
Upon seeing Xu Zhou slay their companion, they did not retreat in fear, but instead grew even more ferocious.
One after another, they lunged towards Xu Zhou.
Xu Zhou’s expression didn’t change, showing no fear. He wielded a Tang blade, his figure like a phantom, rushing forward.
"Swish!"
The blade struck, and the head of a 1st level, 3rd stage flying tiger soared into the air.
Fourth stage of the Mountain Breaking Saber Technique!
In the recent days, Xu Zhou had relentlessly practiced this saber technique, finally stepping into the fourth stage just two days ago.
According to Cao Yong, the fourth stage of the Mountain Breaking Saber Technique was not inferior to some high-level combat techniques.
At this moment, Xu Zhou personally experienced this.
"Buzz!"
He took a step forward and casually swung his blade. The blade shimmered like a silver ribbon, carrying a force as powerful as thousands of troops, cleaving towards a 1st level, 4th stage Blood Wing Flying Tiger.
"Boom!"
The body of the Blood Wing Flying Tiger trembled, as if seeing a galaxy flowing backwards, sweeping towards it.
One slash, and its shoulder exploded instantly, blood splattering everywhere.
Xu Zhou advanced again, casually delivering a slash swift as the wind, instantly piercing through its skull.
If the third stage of the Mountain Breaking Saber Technique focused on harmony between man and blade,
then the fourth stage simplified complexity into simplicity.
Every casual slash unleashed an enormous power comparable to a finishing move!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of the long blade piercing resounded continuously in the forest.
Xu Zhou, like a phantom, continued his slaughter.
On the other side, Zhao Hongying wielded her long tassels, a startling wave of Qi-Blood radiating out. She was also nearing the power of a second Foundation Establishment, though not quite there yet.
She followed behind Xu Zhou, blocking the mutant beasts attacking from the rear.
"This guy, such incredible speed!"
Zhao Hongying’s beautiful eyes glanced at Xu Zhou, increasingly shocked: "He’s also broken through to the third level of his footwork!"
A few days ago, Xu Zhou was only at the second level in footwork.
At that time, she had lamented about Xu Zhou’s weakness.
Yet in just a few days, Xu Zhou not only broke through to the third level of footwork, but also seemed to have comprehended it deeply, as if he had been at this level for years.
Such rapid improvement was truly astonishing.
"Who exactly is he?" Zhao Hongying wondered: "With such talent and strength, I’ve never seen him before. Could he not be from Jiangzhou?"
She had never asked about Xu Zhou’s identity before, as they were not familiar, and she wasn’t interested in his identity.
But now, she regretted not asking. Such a prodigy, she didn’t even know his name!
"Kill!"
Zhao Hongying shouted, deciding not to think any further.
The Blood Wing Flying Tigers continued to swarm in, and she didn’t want to hold Xu Zhou back!
The two of them fought, one in front and one behind, on the battlefield.
Xu Zhou did not linger in the fight. The number of Blood Wing Flying Tigers around them was increasing, even younglings of 1st level, 1st stage appeared on the outskirts, encircling them.
This only made him feel even more uneasy.
"This might be the territory of a Blood Wing Flying Tiger clan," Xu Zhou thought, "and there might be an extremely powerful high-order flying tiger!"
The larger the clan, the more it indicated they had a powerful Clan Leader!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to grow to such a scale.
Right now, Xu Zhou wanted to curse. A few days ago, he had traveled a hundred kilometers without issue.
Why today of all days, he first encountered a 2nd level Flame Demon Peng, and then stumbled into the territory of a high-level mutant beast.
It’s just too unlucky!
"No wonder I haven’t encountered other high-level mutant beasts before; I might have been within the Croc Beast’s territory all along."
Xu Zhou understood this now.
High-level mutant beasts are indeed very protective of their territory.
If an invader comes, it’s a fight to the death!
"Don’t linger in the fight, we must escape quickly!" Xu Zhou shouted to the rear.
"Understood." Zhao Hongying quickly nodded.
She also speculated that this was likely the territory of a high-order flying tiger, probably above stage 3!
The opponent likely wasn’t in its territory, so they had to seize this chance to leave quickly.
