46: Kill the area boss
γ Killed Tier 3 Star Beast x1187, Points + 38700 γ
γ Current Points: 57100 γ (Reached the kill limit for Tier 3 Star Beasts)
Su Miaoyi stared blankly at the corpses of the star beasts covering the ground, her slender fingers subconsciously gripping the tattered Azure Silk Umbrella.
Those powerful monsters that had driven them into desperate straits and life-threatening situations were falling one after another under the sword of the man before her, as if they were merely grass being mowed down.
The wounds on every Rock Lizard corpse were uniform, as if measured with meticulous precision.
Such strength was simply beyond her imagination.
Her red lips parted slightly, her chest heaving violently, and even her breathing became rapid.
"You..." Just as she was about to speak her thanks, her face suddenly turned as pale as paper, her pupils contracted sharply, and she pointed in terror behind Lin Yuan.
Her fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and her entire arm was shaking slightly as well.
In the deepest part of the Rock Lizard nest, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently, and small gravel danced on the ground, emitting crisp clattering sounds.
Immediately after, accompanied by a deafening roar, a giant Rock Lizard with golden spikes on its back burst through the soil. Its size was ten times that of an ordinary Rock Lizard, resembling a moving small mountain.
Its entire body was covered in scales that shimmered with a metallic luster, each one the size of a washbasin and with edges as sharp as knives.
It raised its head and emitted a deafening roar, the sound carrying a trace of Dragon might that caused everyone's ears and noses to bleed, while the surrounding air shook, forming visible ripples.
γ Warning! Regional Anomaly γ
γ Rock Lizard King (Tier 4 Mutant Star Beast) γ
γ Assessment of combat power: 1 million stars γ
γ Characteristics: Extremely strong physical defense, resistance to Earth Law γ
"Step back." Lin Yuan's expression was solemn as he stepped forward, his voice low and firm. "This is not something you can handle."
As he spoke, his aura circulated, and the chaos heaven-grade sword in his hand vibrated slightly, emitting a clear sword hum as if yearning for this battle.
Tuoba Ye swung his battle axe unconvinced, the veins on his bronze-colored muscles bulging, stubborn light flashing in his eyes as he roared, "I have mastered 10% of the Body Law, why would I be afraid of a beast like you!"
His voice echoed in the empty nest, carrying a fierce, unyielding determination.
Before his voice had even faded, the Rock Lizard King's tail swept over like a thick iron rod, moving so fast that it left an afterimage in the air.
"Clang" with a loud boom, the axe blade collided with the scales, exploding with dazzling sparks.
Already injured, Tuoba Ye was sent flying while spitting blood like a kite with a broken string. The bones in his arms were shattered, and he fell heavily to the ground, plowing a deep trench into the hard rocky floor.
Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly. The chaos heaven-grade sword suddenly glowed with a mysterious light of Law, and 25% of the Law of Sword wrapped around the blade like a nimble snake, causing fine cracks to appear in the surrounding space.
When the sword edge collided with the Rock Lizard King's steel-hard clawsβ "Boom!"
A loud explosion shook the earth and mountains, and a visible shockwave swept across the entire area like a surging sea wave.
The Rock Lizard King's prideful defense was as fragile as thin paper before the Sword Qi of Law. Its forelimbs were severed at the root, and black blood gushed out like a fountain, corroding the ground into pits emitting green smoke.
It wailed in pain, spewing out a large cloud of dark green toxic mist, attempting a final struggle, but was pierced through the skull by the Mental Energy secret technique "Divine Soul Annihilation" shot from between Lin Yuan's brows, losing its breath instantly.
Its massive body collapsed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
γ Killed Area Boss Tier 4 Star Beast, Points + 5000 γ
γ Obtained Mutant Star Core (Exchangeable for 8000 points) γ
Lin Yuan put away the star core, his movements fluid and accomplished in one go.
Suddenly, he keenly sensed something unusual, spun around violently, and swung his sword at the Void Realm.
With a crisp "Clang," a transparent dagger was struck down, and upon hitting the ground, the blade turned into a pool of black water and seeped into the earth.
The Faceless Demon Child holding the dagger manifested ten zhang away. Its featureless face turned toward Lin Yuan, and a spine-chilling Mental Energy fluctuation filled the air, as if countless invisible eyes were peeping from the darkness.
"Seeking death?" Lin Yuan pointed his sword at the Demon Child, his gaze disdainful. His 160,000-star Mental Energy turned into tangible pressure, like an invisible mountain, pressing down upon the Faceless Demon Child.
The Demon Child's form began to twist and deform, finally turning into a wisp of black smoke and fleeing while heavily injured.
"The Intermediate area is still too weak."
Just as he was about to set off, he suddenly sensed more than a dozen auras approaching rapidly.
These auras were cold and piercing, like the north wind of midwinter, making one shudder.
Lin Yuan's eyes flickered.
The arrivals were all Disciples of the Nether Hall. The leader had a cold aura and seven skulls emitting a ghostly light hanging from his waistβit was You Sa, the tenth on the leaderboard.
Green ghost fire danced in the hollow eye sockets of those seven skulls, emitting shrill wails.
"Found you, you little bastard from the Spirit Martial Hall!"
You Sa stopped a hundred meters away, his voice as harsh as metal grinding against metal.
The seven skulls flew up automatically, forming a bizarre formation in the air to seal off the surroundings. "You killed so many people from my Nether Hall; today, you will pay with blood!"
His voice was filled with venom, as if he wanted to tear Lin Yuan apart alive.
Lin Yuan laughed instead of getting angry: "Where did you get the courage to provoke me? I was just looking for you, you've brought this upon yourselves."
His figure suddenly blurred, leaving an afterimage in place, and when he reappeared, he was already behind You Sa.
The chaos heaven-grade sword slashed lightly. "Crack."
The seven skulls shattered simultaneously, turning into powder that drifted in the air.
You Sa widened his eyes, a bloodline as thin as a hair appearing on his neck.
Until his death, he did not understand why the "Seven Kill Bodyguard Skulls" he had refined were as fragile as paper.
His body fell slowly, a look of disbelief still lingering in his eyes.
γ soul pearl: 1968 / 5000 γ
The remaining twelve people turned and fled, but how could they be faster than Lin Yuan's sword?
Twelve streaks of Sword Qi struck first despite being launched later, piercing accurately through the back of each person's heart.
Their bodies collapsed like puppets with cut strings, blood staining the dry ground red.
γ soul pearl: 1980 / 5000 γ
"Too weak."
Lin Yuan sheathed his sword, the friction between the blade and the scabbard emitting a crisp sound.
These so-called Prodigies were no different from ants before him.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Tuoba Ye and Su Miaoyi, Lin Yuan was not a bloodthirsty person.
Since killing Tier 3 star beasts could no longer earn points, he might as well head to the Advanced area!
Lin Yuan's figure shot toward the light screen in the sky like an arrow, his robes fluttering loudly in the wind.
The Advanced token in his bosom glowed automatically, and a mechanical voice rang out:
γ Advanced token detected γ
γ Teleporting to the Advanced area γ
γ Current area: No. 1 Advanced area γ
The moment the light screen shattered, the biting cold air scraped across Lin Yuan's cheeks like knife blades.
Before him was a boundless ice field, with pale blue auroras flowing across the sky, illuminating countless ice crystals as if a galaxy were pouring down.
This was a world ruled by eternal winter, and the roars of star beasts could be faintly heard amidst the howling wind and snow.
The piercing cold wind whipped snowflakes against his face, each snowflake like a sharp blade.
