Chapter 202: Chapter 203: Endless Beasts (Fourth Update) (Request for Favorites, Tips, and Recommendations)

As the Red Flame Sword was drawn, Chu Fengmian’s sword edge flashed, striking towards the Wind Fire Bird with a slash.

As the sword was unleashed, the Wind Fire Bird was slain under the single blow from Chu Fengmian.

Such a Tier 3 Wind Fire Bird was, for Chu Fengmian, something that could be killed with just one stroke.

"Is the third gate all about slaying mythical beasts?"

Chu Fengmian furrowed his brow, contemplating inwardly.

These five gates should progressively increase in difficulty, the third gate couldn’t possibly be this simple.

A Tier 3 mythical beast, let alone Chu Fengmian, could be easily killed by anyone else brought here.

The assessment at this third gate seemed to be too simple.

But the next second, within the jungle, two gigantic white tigers pounced over.

"Tier 4 mythical beasts, White Sand Tigers."

Seeing the two White Sand Tigers charging toward him, Chu Fengmian picked up the Red Flame Sword and confronted them head-on.

His figure shifted, instantly rushing to one of the White Sand Tigers. As the sword edge moved, it sliced across the tiger’s waist, immediately killing it.

The other White Sand Tiger, however, roared and charged directly at Chu Fengmian.

"Hmph!"

Chu Fengmian snorted coldly, swinging the Red Flame Sword. A layer of flames surged forth, slashing directly towards the White Sand Tiger.

These two White Sand Tigers were indeed tougher than the Wind Fire Bird,

But with the Red Flame Sword in hand, Chu Fengmian was unfazed by these White Sand Tigers.

Under the sea of fire, the White Sand Tiger was forced back, but almost simultaneously, a powerful aura suddenly surged from beneath Chu Fengmian’s feet.

Forcing Chu Fengmian to leap away, the ground beneath him split open almost at the same moment.

A hundred-yard-long giant python burst out from the ground with its massive jaws agape. Had Chu Fengmian not dodged promptly, he would have been swallowed by it.

"Thick Earth Python? A Tier 6 mythical beast!"

When Chu Fengmian saw the giant python, he hadn’t anticipated that, while dealing with the two White Sand Tigers, another mythical beast would appear.

Moreover, the strength of this Thick Earth Python was ten times more terrifying than the White Sand Tigers.

The Wind Fire Bird and the White Sand Tigers were merely outstanding amongst common mythical beasts, but this Thick Earth Python was an Innate mythical beast, inherently spiritual.

Its strength was several times more horrifying than ordinary beasts.

"How many mythical beasts are involved in the assessment at this third gate?"

As Chu Fengmian dodged, he also urgently activated his Divine Sense, scanning the surroundings.

In just under a minute, four mythical beasts had already appeared. How many were actually there?

As his Spiritual Sense swept through, Chu Fengmian’s expression suddenly froze.

In this jungle, densely packed with beasts, there were at least hundreds of Innate mythical beasts and thousands of common beasts.

And these were just the beasts in the jungle that Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Sense could detect.

Not just in the jungle, but even the skies above were filled with endless mythical beasts, with the Wind Fire Bird species alone numbering over a thousand.

It was actually a large flock of Windfire Birds.

In the underground, numerous beasts hid, constantly ready to strike and attack Chu Fengmian.

"Is the assessment of this third gate really just these thousands of beasts?"

Chu Fengmian murmured softly.

At the same time, Chu Fengmian also realized that these beasts seemed to be under a restriction, existing only for seven days.

It seemed that the assessment of the third gate was to survive under the pursuit of these beasts for seven days.

For a martial artist, seven days was quite brief, but being hunted every moment made it difficult to endure.

These thousands of beasts attacked the martial artists relentlessly, leaving no time to rest or to recover Spiritual Power.

Even though these beasts were not very strong, their sheer number made the assessment terrifyingly difficult.

"These thousands of beasts are indeed sufficient to aid me in practicing some swordsmanship."

Chu Fengmian observed the beasts and suddenly burst into laughter.

Though numerous, the beasts were not particularly strong, and with so many of them, their blood essence was extraordinarily rich.

Escape?

Chu Fengmian, with his Divine Veins, had no need to escape, his Spiritual Power was endless.

He would slay any beast that came at him.

Moreover, Chu Fengmian could practice his swordsmanship while slaying these beasts.

"Slaughter Sword Technique!"

The technique Chu Fengmian was planning to practice was none other than one of the famous sword techniques in the Nine Domains, the Slaughter Sword Technique.

Though it was a sword technique, it had no grade because the more creatures slain using the Slaughter Sword Technique, and the more blood essence refined from them, the stronger its power.

This Slaughter Sword Technique, immensely powerful, was not something Chu Fengmian originally intended to cultivate, as it required slaying at least a million creatures.

However, seeing so many beasts now, Chu Fengmian realized this was a perfect opportunity to cultivate the Slaughter Sword Technique.

The blood essence of a single beast was a thousand times that of a regular human, and so many beasts were definitely enough for Chu Fengmian to cultivate the Slaughter Sword Technique, possibly even to a minor level of proficiency.

This third test turned out to be a great gift for Chu Fengmian!

Chu Fengmian laughed loudly, took up the Red Flame Sword, and his aura burst forth as he charged toward the Earth Python.

Within his body, the ten drops of ancient battle dragon blood all exploded forth, instilling a trace of fear in the heart of the Earth Python under this supreme dragon might.

Almost simultaneously, Chu Fengmian’s Sword Edge had already descended, and the hundred-yard-long Earth Python was slain by Chu Fengmian.

Endless blood essence emanated from the body of the Earth Python, merging into Chu Fengmian’s body.

This type of blood essence was essential for cultivating the Slaughter Sword Technique.

To slaughter a million to achieve swordsmanship, and now Chu Fengmian slaughtering thousands of beasts, the Slaughter Sword Technique cultivated would not be inferior to those formed by slaughtering a million people.

After the Earth Python was killed, Chu Fengmian did not idle.

These beasts were the perfect supplement for practicing the Slaughter Sword Technique, and Chu Fengmian once again charged towards the White Sand Tiger.

With one thrust of his sword into the brain of the White Sand Tiger, he absorbed all its blood essence.

The thick blood essence attracted countless other beasts in the vicinity, and Chu Fengmian could feel at least a hundred beasts rushing towards him.
