Watching the huge figure rapidly magnify within his pupils, Lei Ming made a quick decision, taking out the Thunderclap Sword and slashing toward the Three-Eyed Beast's gaping mouth.
The Three-Eyed Beast closed its mouth, biting on the black sword infused with strands of thunder and lightning power, then released a deadly cultivation power from its central eye, attacking Lei Ming who was close by.
Lei Ming squeezed his left hand, releasing an equally powerful cultivation power to counter this deadly attack.
After a long stalemate, the Three-Eyed Beast extended its long claws, aiming to pierce Lei Ming's chest and dig out his heart.
Lei Ming quickly moved his body, dodging to the side, then cast spells to summon the Thunderclap Sword back.
"Deng deng deng!"
The Thunderclap Sword trembled within the Three-Eyed Beast's mouth, resisting against its biting force.
The Three-Eyed Beast felt a sharp ache in its teeth, finally having to release the Thunderclap Sword.
It had calculated that it could return the Thunderclap Sword to this human cultivator, but at the sa ti, it wanted the life of this human cultivator and thus flew forward, following the sword's path.
Lei Ming's heart skipped a beat, quickly utilizing Qinggong to retreat swiftly backward.
After widening the distance, the Thunderclap Sword returned to his hand. At this mont, he displayed his unique Thunder Technique Profound Mysteries, swinging the Thunderclap Sword to unleash a Sword Qi filled with lightning, targeting the Three-Eyed Beast.
"Rumble!"
The swift-moving Three-Eyed Beast had no ti to evade, being struck directly, its body instantly charred and the injury was severe.
Despite this, it too wanted the human cultivator to pay an appropriate price.
Thus, it darted forward to bite fiercely.
Lei Ming was shocked.
The power of this black Thunder Sword Qi had already reached the High Immortal Third Realm, yet this High Immortal Second Realm Spirit Beast wasn't killed with one blow. It seed these Spirit Beasts in the deep mountains were stronger than those raised in the Kingdom of Leizhen.
This expedition was indeed right; staying in the Kingdom of Leizhen, he might never enhance his combat capability or experience.
He was thankful to Lin Yifan, thankful that Lin Yifan didn't help earlier, thankful that Lin Yifan pushed him to face the crisis alone, gaining survival through desperate situations.
Additionally, he appreciated Lin Yifan for letting him understand the cruelty and danger of the deep mountains.
Combat experience needed to be enriched, so the next mont, he didn't utilize Thunder Technique Profound Mysteries but simply used High Immortal Second Realm power to engage in combat with the severely injured Three-Eyed Beast.
Seeing the initially frightened Lei Ming now relaxed and playful, Lin Yifan, who was watching from the side, crossed his arms with a slight smile on his lips.
Sotis, not pushing soone can actually harm them, so one should push where necessary and avoid future regret.
After battling for a dozen minutes, the injured Three-Eyed Beast was already dazed by Lei Ming's antics, unable to muster the energy to chase or fight.
Lei Ming felt it unnecessary to continue wasting ti, so he killed it with a single stroke.
The Three-Eyed Beast fell soundlessly, and the next mont, Lei Ming sheathed his sword and approached Lin Yifan, saying, "Master Lin, let's go."
Lin Yifan reprimanded with a cold and serious expression, "Go where? Fetch that Three-Eyed Beast's Spirit Beast Crystal Core."
"Fetch it? Isn't... isn't that inappropriate?" Lei Ming hesitated.
"It's your victory bounty. If you only gain combat experience with no reward, you will find it difficult to enhance your realm; hurry up, fetch it without dawdling," Lin Yifan urged.
"But, that's too cruel..."
"Did you feel cruel when it attacked you? If it were you lying on the ground, would it spare any part of you? If you always show rcy, surviving in this world of survival of the fittest will be difficult," Lin Yifan instructed.
With these words, Lei Ming suddenly had an understanding.
Subsequently, he looked at the fallen Three-Eyed Beast, internally struggling whether to follow Master Lin's orders and retrieve the Spirit Beast Crystal Core.
After a mont of struggle, he decided to try changing himself and attempted to accept it.
He walked slowly over, then took out his dagger to retrieve the Spirit Beast Crystal Core from the Three-Eyed Beast's forehead.
Of course, he knew where the Spirit Beast Crystal Core was located; many books recorded it, but he had never done it, hence he was flustered.
Breaking open the Three-Eyed Beast's skull, he saw many things he shouldn't see, making him inadvertently want to vomit.
After digging for a long ti, he finally extracted the Spirit Beast Crystal Core and quickly stepped away.
Holding the blood-soaked Spirit Beast Crystal Core, he initially wanted to discard it but thought that Master Lin might need it, so he brought it over to present to Master Lin: "Master Lin, this is for you."
"Keep it for yourself, use it for cultivation," Lin Yifan dismissed without acknowledgnt, refusing bluntly.
Aside from cultivation, Spirit Beast Crystal Core had little purpose, and his Seven-Colored Immortal Ring was rich in spiritual energy, rendering Spirit Beast Crystal Cores unnecessary.
"Cultivation? This... this..."
Lei Ming was dumbfounded.
He possessed many high-grade Spirit Stones, completely unnecessary for this item.
"Cherish everything you gain in the deep mountains, it will greatly benefit your growth," Lin Yifan advised.
After hearing this, Lei Ming was skeptical yet decided to store the Spirit Beast Crystal Core into his Immortal Ring.
The two continued their journey toward Great You Country.
At night, they once again slept in the depths of the mountains.
Having yesterday's experience, Lei Ming was more at ease, but still did not dare to sleep without any vigilance.
In the deep night, as the cold wind blew, a black snake flicking its tongue slowly slithered toward Lei Ming sleeping on a trunk.
Suddenly sensing sothing quietly approaching him, the sleeping Lei Ming imdiately woke up.
Looking around, through a sliver of white moonlight, he saw a poisonous snake silently nearing, already at his heel.
"Ah!"
Faced with this extrely dangerous scene, he couldn't help but exclaim, quickly retreating.
With this shout, a flock of sleeping birds took flight, startled.
Lin Yifan promptly opened his eyes, glancing at Lei Ming. Seeing that it was just a small poisonous snake, he resud sleeping peacefully.
After the shout, Lei Ming leapt up, then took out the Thunderclap Sword and killed the snake with one slash.
"Sis!"
The snake was cleaved in two, struggling as it fell to the ground below.
With the crisis resolved, Lei Ming let out a breath of relief.
Fortunately, this little snake wasn't a high-level Spirit Beast, or he would have been dood.
Despite this, he still felt the place was unsafe, thus flew to the tree fork where Lin Yifan was sleeping, calling out, "Master Lin, wake up! Wake up!"
"What is it?" Lin Yifan asked.
"We should leave here!"
"Why?"
"There are poisonous snakes here."
"Didn't you just deal with the snake? What more is there to fear?" Lin Yifan questioned.
"But..." Just as Lei Ming was about to continue, he noticed a snake appearing near Lin Yifan's shoulder, horrifying him: "Master Lin, near your shoulder... there's..."
