Seeing the Earth Bear charge at him, Ye Tian swiftly dodged to the side. Getting hit by that bear paw could an serious injury.
The space around the palm strike trembled violently. The sheer force of the blow startled Ye Tian. He didn't stay idle, though. After dodging the attack, he quickly slashed out with his Black Glaze Sword.
A powerful wave of Sword Qi shot toward the Earth Bear. Ye Tian had only used seventy percent of his strength in this strike. He wanted to see if the beast's Defense Power was as incredible as Lin Ling had claid.
The Earth Bear's body was massive, making it difficult to dodge Ye Tian's attack completely. Despite its impressive speed, a few strands of Sword Qi still struck its body.
Ye Tian had expected the strike to draw blood, but to his surprise, it only managed to slice off so fur, leaving behind two shallow marks. It was nowhere near enough to cause serious damage.
'What powerful Defense Power!' Ye Tian thought. 'Now that I've broken through to the Second Vein Fifth Layer, even a strike with seventy percent of my power has the sa Attack Power as a full-force blow from when I was in the lower Two Vein Realm. Yet an attack like that can't even break its defense. That's just absurd.'
Seeing that Ye Tian dared to attack it, the Earth Bear flew into a rage. It let out a continuous stream of roars, the deafening sound spreading rapidly in all directions.
Ye Tian knew the creature had a Sonic Attack, so he imdiately covered his ears. At the sa ti, he floated back several ters, giving himself ti to react if the Earth Bear launched a surprise assault.
Even with his ears covered, he felt a sharp pain in his eardrums. A weaker person would probably be killed by this Sonic Attack alone.
With a single thought, Ye Tian rapidly circulated the Dragon Spiritual Power within his body. This ti, he was preparing to unleash a full-power attack. He was confident this strike would be enough to heavily wound the Earth Bear. 'If it dares use a Sonic Attack on ,' he thought, 'it must be prepared to be slain.'
The Black Glaze Sword in his hand suddenly projected a Sword Aura over a ter long. This was the result of Ye Tian unleashing his full power, and the length of the Sword Aura even surprised him.
Not far away, Lin Ling, who was engaged with the other Earth Bear, also saw the Sword Aura on Ye Tian's Black Glaze Sword. Her shock was even greater than his. 'A Sword Aura like that should only be possible for soone at the Three Vein Realm,' she thought, 'but Ye Tian can actually do it. That's just unnatural.'
Ye Tian's talent was the best in the academy, but it was already rare for a Martial Artist who had just broken through to the Two Vein Realm to challenge an opponent at the Second Vein Fifth Layer or above. To now see him face an Earth Bear with such terrifying Defense Power was simply incredible.
Seeing its Sonic Attack had failed to kill the human before it, the Earth Bear grew even more enraged. It raised its enormous paws and lunged at Ye Tian.
This was exactly the move Ye Tian had been waiting for. With a slide of his feet, he beca a blur as he shot toward the Earth Bear.
The Sword Qi crackling on his Black Glaze Sword made a sizzling sound. The vibrations in the surrounding space grew exceptionally violent, as if it were about to shatter.
In a re instant, Ye Tian was in front of the Earth Bear, his Black Glaze Sword slashing directly into its body. This was Ye Tian's full-power attack, the Fifth Form of his Flowing Cloud Sword Technique.
Boosted by the War Dragon Heavenly Arm, the force was significantly greater. Under Ye Tian's strike, the Earth Bear's massive body was torn open by a huge gash, while the Sword Qi from the Black Glaze Sword simultaneously pierced several bloody holes through it.
Blood gushed from the Earth Bear's wounds like a spring, staining the ground crimson. The thick stench of blood filled the air.
Ye Tian quickly withdrew the Black Glaze Sword as the Earth Bear's paw swiped at him. Despite its grievous injuries, the beast's Attack Power remained.
After dodging to the side, Ye Tian saw that the once-ferocious Earth Bear was now teetering on the brink of collapse. His attack hadn't killed it outright, but it was close to death.
The wounds on the Earth Bear were horrifying. Its massive body had been nearly cleaved in half. The sharpness of the Black Glaze Sword was no joke. If Ye Tian were just a little stronger, this Earth Bear might have shared the sa fate as the Jungle Tiger.
'Kick 'em while they're down.' Without a mont's hesitation, Ye Tian raised his Black Glaze Sword once more, unleashing another powerful strike at the grievously wounded Earth Bear.
The Earth Bear was unable to dodge this attack. It could only watch helplessly as Ye Tian closed in. A look of despair, startlingly human, appeared in its eyes.
"Die!" Ye Tian roared, thrusting his Black Glaze Sword directly into the Earth Bear's heart. Piercing its heart should have been difficult, but after the severe injury, the beast had reared up on its hind legs, giving Ye Tian the perfect opportunity.
A wretched cry escaped the Earth Bear's mouth. Ye Tian knew it was finished this ti. He quickly withdrew his Black Glaze Sword and backed away.
The Earth Bear's massive body collapsed to the ground. Its life force faded rapidly, and within a few breaths, it went still.
The other Earth Bear, the one fighting Lin Ling, heard its companion's dying cry. It imdiately abandoned its fight with Lin Ling and charged at Ye Tian, letting out a wail of its own. The death of the other bear had clearly sent it into a grief-fueled rage.
"Ye Tian, watch out! This Earth Bear is even stronger than the last one!" Lin Ling cried out.
Ye Tian nodded slightly and thrust his Black Glaze Sword forward in another all-out attack. This ti, however, the Earth Bear didn't swipe at him with its massive paws. Instead, a strange, hazy gray light emanated from its body.
Imdiately after, an unprecedented gravitational force pressed down on Ye Tian. At the sa ti, dense earthen spikes, each half a ter long, sprouted from the Earth Bear's body, making it look like a colossal porcupine.
Ye Tian felt imnse pressure, even greater than what he had endured in the Gravity Chamber. 'This must be the Earth Bear's Earth Attribute ability,' he realized. 'It doesn't deal direct damage, but it can completely immobilize you.'
Anyone even slightly weaker would likely be crushed into a pulp by this pressure. He never imagined that on top of a Sonic Attack, this thing also had a gravity-based attack. It was incredible.
The Earth Bear's body began to swell, growing to nearly twice its original size. Its eyes glowed blood-red as it glared at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian's strike should have hit the Earth Bear, but the imnse pressure brought it to a halt. The reversed flow of Energy created an imdiate backlash, sending a sharp pain through his chest.
Just then, Lin Ling rushed over. Seeing the Earth Bear's current state, she said, "This Earth Bear is a mutated one! It probably has the strength of a Three Vein Realm expert now. Be extra careful!"
