303: Killed in one sword, that’s it?

Su Qingxue's eyes turned cold. The moment the vines restricted the Rock Giant, her figure moved like lightning. The long sword in her hand transformed into a cold gleam, accurately piercing towards the Rock Giant's eye socket!

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, the long sword only penetrated half an inch before being stuck by the hard rock.

"The target is wrong." General Ao Zhan snorted coldly, not aimed at Su Qingxue, but a judgment of this attack method.

"The weakness of these elemental creatures is the crystal in their chest. Attacking the facial features is just a waste of Qi, useless except to anger it."

Just as Su Qingxue's attack was thwarted and her figure retreated.

Chen Beixuan, standing nearby, whispered softly.

"Guard..."

The next moment, a seemingly simple and unadorned Sword Light flashed.

The Rock Giant's body, along with its arms, from head to chest and down to its feet, was cleanly sliced open.

Boom!

The two halves of its body fell to either side, crashing onto the ground.

One Sword, instant kill!

Chen Beixuan stood with his Sword, glancing out of the corner of his eye behind him.

Lin Xiaoran was panting heavily, clearly having expended a lot of Qi from his full-power Spell casting.

Su Qingxue had already sheathed her Sword. She looked at Chen Beixuan's back, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

There were no words between the three of them; trust had quietly been established through this cooperation.

General Ao Zhan, who had been observing with cold eyes, let out a faint "hmm" from his nose.

"The coordination is decent, just too slow. Continue."

In just ten minutes, the entire first floor was completely cleared.

The ground was covered with the corpses of mutated beasts, and blood stained the floor red.

Li Zezhong looked at this scene, a mix of emotions in his heart.

"General General Ao Zhan, these mutated beasts..."

"Don't ask every time." General Ao Zhan said without looking back, "After it's over, Hua Li will be responsible for the distribution."

Hua Li stepped forward and directed the Soldiers of Cangming City to collect the magic cores.

The magic cores of these magical mutated beasts were quite valuable, capable of fetching sky-high prices in the market.

"Chief Commander Li, your people can collect other Materials." Hua Li said with a smile, "The fur, bones, and blood of mutated beasts are all excellent Artifact Refining Materials."

Li Zezhong nodded and ordered the Soldiers to collect them.

Although they could only get three-tenths, the value of these Materials was enough to satisfy the officials.

"Next floor." General Ao Zhan gave the command concisely.

As the team advanced, the mutated beasts they encountered became stronger and stronger.

General Ao Zhan stopped, not leading the charge, but turning to the side.

"Second floor, you three lead the way."

"Understood!"

Chen Beixuan, Su Qingxue, and Lin Xiaoran exchanged glances and responded in unison, then quickly moved forward.

The environment on the second floor was even more complex than the first, with various wardrooms lining both sides of the corridor, and eerie sounds emanating from each room.

The air was filled with a heavy smell of blood and medicine, making people feel nauseous.

"Be careful, the mutated beasts on this floor are of a higher Rank." Lin Xiaoran reminded, his hands already forming a hand seal, ready to cast a Spell at any moment.

Su Qingxue gripped the long Sword in her hand, scanning her surroundings vigilantly.

"I feel a very strong killing intent, more than one."

As soon as her voice fell, a deafening roar suddenly came from the end of the corridor.

Roar!

A giant bear, burning with purple flames, rushed out of a wardroom. It was four meters tall, and every step it took left burning footprints on the ground.

"It's a Lv4 Purple Flame Bear King!" Zhou Kui's face changed dramatically from behind, "The flames of this mutated beast are corrosive; if you touch them, you'll be burned through!"

However, Chen Beixuan and the other two did not flinch in the slightest.

"I'll restrict its movements!" Lin Xiaoran quickly formed hand seals, and shouted, "Earth Thorn Array!"

Crack, crack!

The ground instantly cracked open, and dozens of sharp earth thorns broke out of the ground, trapping the Purple Flame Bear King within them.

The Purple Flame Bear King roared furiously, and purple flames erupted from its body, instantly burning the earth thorns to ashes.

"Useless!" Su Qingxue moved like lightning, circling behind the Purple Flame Bear King from the side, her long Sword directly piercing its vital spot on the back of its neck.

Clang!

The tip of the Sword struck the thick bear hide, only penetrating an inch before getting stuck.

"The hide is too thick!" Su Qingxue gritted her teeth, quickly withdrawing and retreating.

Just then, the Purple Flame Bear King turned and slapped at Su Qingxue with its palm. The huge bear paw, carrying scorching purple flames, was enough to flatten a person into a meat patty.

At the critical moment, Chen Beixuan took a step forward, and with a casual flick of the long Sword in his hand.

The Sword Light flashed.

Time seemed to stand still for a second.

The next moment, the Purple Flame Bear King's massive body was split in two down the middle. The two halves of its body fell to either side, blood splattering everywhere.

The scorching purple flames also extinguished instantly.

The entire corridor fell into dead silence.

The official Soldiers behind them widened their eyes, unable to believe what they had just seen.

"One Sword... instant kill a Lv4 Purple Flame Bear King?"

"How is this possible? That's a monster that even an entire company of ours couldn't handle!"

"What is this kid's background?"

Even General Ao Zhan, who had been observing with cold eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly at this moment.

"A bit interesting." He said lightly, "Continue."

Chen Beixuan sheathed his Sword.

Su Qingxue looked at his back, complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

Lin Xiaoran, on the other hand, was full of excitement. "Brother Beixuan, that Sword Move of yours was so cool! Can you teach me?"

"It's not a matter of the Move." Chen Beixuan shook his head, "It's the Sword Intent."

"Sword Intent?"

"Everything has a weakness. Find it, and one Sword is enough."

As the three of them talked, movement came again from deeper in the corridor.

This time, it wasn't one mutated beast, but a group.

More than a dozen magical mutated beasts of various forms poured out of the various wardrooms: ice spiders that shot ice cones, thunderbirds that released lightning, and shadow leopards that could turn invisible.

"This is troublesome now." Su Qingxue gripped her long Sword, "There are too many of them."

Lin Xiaoran's face was also solemn.

"My Spell range is limited; I can deal with three or four at most at a time."

However, Chen Beixuan remained calm.

"You two cover me, I'll handle it."

As his voice fell, he drew his Sword again.

This time, he didn't choose to clash head-on, but instead weaved through the group of mutated beasts.

Lin Xiaoran immediately understood. With a hand seal, several vines precisely broke out of the ground at a shadow leopard's landing spot, causing its figure to pause.

Su Qingxue's Sword moved like the wind, striking at an arc of electricity that a thunderbird was about to release, detonating it in mid-air.

It was this fleeting cover that created the perfect moment for Chen Beixuan to strike.

Every time he struck with his Sword, a mutated beast would fall.

The soft underbelly of the ice spider, the heart of the thunderbird, the spine of the shadow leopard...

In less than a minute, all more than a dozen mutated beasts fell to the ground.

Although Su Qingxue and Lin Xiaoran did not directly kill them, sweat appeared on their foreheads, and the cooperation under intense concentration also consumed a great deal of Qi.

The official Soldiers behind them were completely shocked.

"Is this... is this still a human?"

"One person taking on more than a dozen magical mutated beasts, and instantly killing all of them?"

"This power is too terrifying!"

General Ao Zhan looked at Chen Beixuan's back, a hint of approval flashing in his golden Dragon eyes.

"Not bad, he has the demeanor of a great general."

Hua Li chuckled softly.

"It seems the Saint Lord's vision is as accurate as ever."

Tang Ketian skipped over.

"Wow, Big Brother Beixuan is so amazing! Even stronger than I imagined!"

Numinous Flower put his palms together: "Amitabha, Benefactor's Dao of Sword is profound, making this humble monk admire him."

Facing everyone's praise, Chen Beixuan remained calm.
