Lin Xintong’s uncertainty
This Blood Stone Gigantic Beast was large and terrifying. Humans felt a natural sense of oppression from fierce and desolate beasts. It was like a mortal facing a unrestrained tiger, would he not be scared?
Yi Yun was a twelve-year-old child, and this was the first time he was meeting such a terrifying opponent. Lin Xintong was watching Yi Yun; she wanted to know if Yi Yun would have any sense of fear.
Some people, especially those youths who had just made achievements in martial arts, when out for their first actual toughening experience would end up facing fierce looking beasts. Even if they had great strength that exceeded the beast they were facing, due to the difference in size and the ferocious appearance of the beast, they would still feel fear.
They were subconsciously thinking of themselves as weaklings. Mortals, when facing beasts, would lack confidence. Their first instinct was to flee. Even if they fought with the beasts, they could not show the full extent of their abilities.
There were too many people like that.
When they faced people their own age, they would dominate and bully the weak.
But once they faced a fierce beast, their faces would turn ashen from fright. Such people could not abandon the “shackles of the weaklings”. They did not have the heart of the strong, so they would not amount to anything great!
Lin Xintong did not believe Yi Yun was such a person, but she wanted to see how far Yi Yun could go. How confident was he of his own strength?
But Yi Yun’s next set of words completely struck down Lin Xintong’s thoughts.
Yi Yun said, “Miss Lin, this Blood Stone Gigantic Beast looks ferocious and savage. Its meat doesn’t look delicious, is it?”
“Eh?” Lin Xintong was stunned. She did not expect Yi Yun to ask such a question.
“It’s like this. The village is lacking in meat. I’m thinking of bringing more back. Being from a small tribal clan, I got used to the poor lifestyle. However once I began practicing martial arts, I had dreamed of walking into the vast wilderness to hunt, so that I don’t have to worry about food. This Blood Stone Gigantic Beast will be my first hunt! But if it’s not delicious, or even inedible, then killing it and bringing its meat back to the village, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?”
Lin Xintong froze for a moment when she heard Yi Yun’s words before she managed a laugh. She realized she had overthought things.
Yi Yun had treated the Blood Stone Gigantic Beast as his prey. Such spirit was extremely good!
“Although it looks hideous, its meat is delicious. Unfortunately its meat quality is low, so it won’t give you a lot of energy when you eat it. Its essence is all in its bones!”
“It’s good. As long as it’s delicious!” Yi Yun did not care, after all to be able to eat meat, the Lian tribal clan did not care.
While Yi Yun and Lin Xintong were exchanging their conversations, the Blood Stone Gigantic Beast went into a rage.
It felt like it had been belittled by the two tiny humans.
It roared and its huge body charged forwards! It stretched out its steel fork like claws and scratched towards Yi Yun!
Yi Yun caught a glimpse of the beast charging at him from the corner of his eyes. His body slightly moved like a feather that was blown up.
“Ka-cha!”
The ground that was beneath Yi Yun’s feet was crushed by the Blood Stone Gigantic Beast’s claws. But Yi Yun had flown up as a reaction to the attack. It was as if the claw wind had sent him flying.
Yi Yun had already perfectly mastered the Minute Subtlety technique!
“Clang!”
The Yanchi saber was unsheathed and Yi Yun’s legs landed on the huge arms of the Blood Stone Gigantic Beast. He rushed forward while running up the arm!
Blood Stone Gigantic Beast was frightened and opened its big mouth. Its blood-red tongue shot out like a javelin!
The Blood Stone Gigantic Beast’s tongue was barbed and could pierce through steel plates. If it hit a person, they would turn into a meat skewer.
The red tongue’s attack speed was extremely fast. Yi Yun constricted his pupils and just as the tongue was about to pierce his chest, his body turned sideways. He carried on charging while sticking by the side of the tongue!
The forceful strike by the tongue not only did not obstruct Yanchi saber, it even gave Yi Yun the chance to borrow the force to increase his speed. In a blink of an eye, he was at the Blood Stone Gigantic Beast’s head and with a swash of his Yanchi saber, he stabbed the cross-shaped eyes of the Blood Stone Gigantic Beast!
“Roar!”
The Blood Stone Gigantic Beast gave up an earth-shattering cry. It opened its mouth to bite Yi Yun, but this attack did not change its fate. With a jump, Yi Yun struck with the Yanchi saber!
“Puah!”
Blood splattered as the Yanchi saber pierced the Blood Stone Gigantic Beast’s eye all the way into the brain!
