155: Section 155

At this moment, it was too late for Jing Yuan to rely on spatial fluctuations to make a sharp turn.

Originally, this Snake Dog could have lived a second longer, but unfortunately, Jing Yuan still had his trump card, Telekinesis, which he hadn't used yet.

Jing Yuan directly controlled the war blade with Telekinesis to perform a spin, instantly slicing the fourth Snake Dog into two sections.

In an instant, all four Snake Dogs perished.

Jing Yuan stood where he was, automatically absorbing their life source essence.

By now, Snake Dogs from further away had also sensed Jing Yuan's presence and rushed over one after another.

However, the Snake Dogs were positioned at various distances.

With two Snake Dogs a bit further away, Jing Yuan didn't even need to use a Spatial Slash.

A simple strike was enough to slay them.

Jing Yuan fixed his gaze ahead. The last five Phage Beasts were positioned exactly where the spatial fluctuations occurred; he unleashed the Space Whirlwind Slash again, and the five Snake Dogs were instantly divided into ten pieces.

Jing Yuan gave the giant war blade a fierce shake, shaking off the Mana Soil that had stained it.

Then he looked back at Taciturn.

Taciturn's strength was not bad; in this short time, he had killed three Snake Dogs.

By the time he cut off the head of the third Snake Dog, he found that Jing Yuan had already finished killing all the remaining ones.

Taciturn was instantly dumbfounded; he had seen fast, but never this fast.

Jing Yuan walked over with a smile and said, "It's mainly because this blade is too fast—one slash per beast, without any mess!"

After speaking, Jing Yuan severed the Snake Dog in front of Taciturn with a single blow.

If the spirit seed of a Phage Beast isn't destroyed, it will soon revive.

However, not all Awakened Practitioners have the ability to locate the spirit seed.

Jing Yuan moved to the side and also cut the spirit seeds of the other two Snake Dogs that Taciturn had just killed.

After absorbing the life source essence of these dozen or so Snake Dogs, he hadn't exhausted himself; instead, he had replenished quite a bit.

Taciturn looked at Jing Yuan and said in surprise, "I feel like you've become much stronger than last time!"

Jing Yuan laughed and said, "When I awakened my potential, my constitution also improved a bit!"

Taciturn shook his head helplessly. "It's truly the first time I've seen a monster like you!"

"A monster?" Jing Yuan asked, puzzled.

Taciturn said with a smile, "I'm praising you! With such great strength and such a fast rate of progress, what else would you be compared to us if not a monster?"

Jing Yuan smiled to himself; since he could absorb the life source essence of Phage Beasts, perhaps he really was a monster!

Jing Yuan and Taciturn returned to the vehicle, and the group continued forward.

Along the way, whenever they encountered small numbers of Phage Beasts, Jing Yuan would directly step out to deal with them.

Jing Yuan never grew tired of it.

After all, after killing a Phage Beast and absorbing its life source essence, his Telekinesis would strengthen.

However, given Jing Yuan's current strength, the amount provided by these low-tier Phage Beasts wasn't enough.

Even after killing dozens of low-tier Phage Beasts, there was still no sign of an upgrade.

After driving through the wilderness for half a day, the vehicle's battery was nearly depleted.

At this point, they arrived at a charging station.

Initially, Jing Yuan was quite curious about why there would be a charging station in such a place.

Thousand Miles told him that they had built this charging station themselves to facilitate travel between them and Steel Flame Fortress.

A massive storage battery was buried beneath this charging station, while The Surface was covered with a large number of solar photovoltaic panels.

Although the charging station was usually unmanned, it was occasionally damaged by Phage Beasts.

Every time they passed by, people from Dragon Bone Village and Steel Flame Fortress would repair any damaged solar photovoltaic panels.

Fortunately, the Phage Beasts passing through here were all lesser beasts; even if they caused damage, they only destroyed a few, which didn't affect the overall power storage.

By the time they finished repairing some damaged solar photovoltaic panels, the vehicle's charging was almost complete.

The rest of the journey went quite smoothly, and they didn't encounter any Phage Beast swarms for two hours.

Star Shatterer looked at the satellite map while saying, "If we don't encounter any more Phage Beasts, we should reach Steel Flame Fortress in about two hours."

But reality wasn't as favorable as she hoped.

Only a few minutes after she said those words, they encountered another Phage Beast swarm.

This swarm consisted of Snake Dogs and Earth Roars.

More importantly, a massive Twin-Jawed Beast was among them.

Star Shatterer took a look and said, "Taking a detour now would waste too much time. Let's rest where we are!"

Thousand Miles lamented, "If only Great Mountain were here, he could have fired a decoy missile to lure them away."

Jing Yuan, having killed his way through the journey, was now feeling a bit cocky and said directly, "Why lure them away? Just kill them!"

The other three looked at Jing Yuan simultaneously.

"Yuan Zai, you're getting a bit ahead of yourself! There are no fewer than thirty Phage Beasts ahead, plus a Twin-Jawed Beast. You won't be able to handle it!"

"I have to give it a try to know!"

Jing Yuan got out of the car as soon as he finished speaking.

Star Shatterer hurriedly said, "Even though you've killed a Twin-Jawed Beast before, different Twin-Jawed Beasts have different levels of strength. There's no need for you to go out of your way to provoke it!"

For Star Shatterer and the others, they wouldn't provoke Phage Beasts unless absolutely necessary.

But for Jing Yuan, those were all nourishment for his advancement.

Killing low-tier Phage Beasts was simply not enough for the current Jing Yuan.

Having finally encountered a Twin-Jawed Beast, how could he be willing to let it go?

"You guys stay here and maintain Returning to Origin. I'll be right back!"

Jing Yuan controlled the scale disk to move beneath his feet; this time, he planned to fly over.

Chapter 159: Taking on the Phage Beast Swarm Alone

Jing Yuan slowly flew above the Phage Beast swarm. He swept out with his Mental Power and began searching for the location of the Twin-Jawed Beast's spirit seed.

But just as Jing Yuan activated his Mental Power, the Twin-Jawed Beast actually made a move.

The face on the Twin-Jawed Beast's surface was at the tip of its nose; that skull-like face had a nose and eyes.

But its true eyes were located above its "shoulders."

At that moment, one of those eyes rolled and stared fixedly at Jing Yuan.

"Hmm? I've been discovered!"

Jing Yuan clearly hadn't deactivated Returning to Origin, yet he was still discovered by the Twin-Jawed Beast.

Since he had been spotted, Jing Yuan didn't hesitate for a moment and initiated the attack first.

He dived down from the air, his war blade slicing through the atmosphere with a sharp whistling sound, striking the Twin-Jawed Beast's head.

The war blade made from a Monarch-level Shi Ji Beast's fangs was indeed resilient and sharp, directly carving a long gash into the Twin-Jawed Beast's head.

Jing Yuan controlled the scale disk to retreat, intending to launch another attack.

Suddenly, the Twin-Jawed Beast opened its massive mouth and let out a roar.

The massive sound wave impacted Jing Yuan, making his head feel heavy and dull!

"Something's wrong! Its roar contains a mental shock effect!"

Jing Yuan reacted immediately.

The Phage Beasts he had encountered before also carried mental attacks in their cries, but none had this level of power.

Star Shatterer's words proved prophetic.

Every Twin-Jawed Beast's strength was different, and this one was far stronger than the two he had encountered before.

After launching the sound wave attack, the Twin-Jawed Beast caught Jing Yuan off guard and swiped at him with a massive palm.

Jing Yuan dodged hurriedly, but due to improper control of the scale disk, he landed on The Surface.

Once on The Surface, the Snake Dogs and Earth Roars began to roar restlessly.

The Twin-Jawed Beast stared at Jing Yuan and suddenly let out a low cry.

In an instant, all the Snake Dogs and Earth Roars looked at Jing Yuan simultaneously!

Jing Yuan was stunned on the spot!

The Twin-Jawed Beast let out a sharp cry, and in an instant, the dozens of surrounding Phage Beasts all lunged at Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan gripped the war blade with both hands and performed the Space Whirlwind Slash, killing two Snake Dogs in an instant.
