Chapter 62: Slaying Strange Beasts and Acquiring the Marrow Cleansing Fruit

This leopard was extremely quick, but the porcupine’s reactions were not slow either. It chose to maintain the status quo, countering the leopard’s motion with its own stillness.

At the moment that the leopard lunged forward to attack, the porcupine released the quills on its body.

Like a rain of arrows that blocked out the sky, the quills shot out at the leopard in mid-air.

It was a very frightening sight, as Lu Xuan knew of strong mutated porcupines in his past life, which had quills that could be shot out like missiles and even explode. Those were porcupines that had undergone a very thorough mutation.

This porcupine could be said to be very, very powerful.

However, the leopard was no pushover. Under normal circumstances, there was no way the wildcat would be able to avoid the storm of spiny arrows, yet the leopard actually roared out loud, spitting out a gust of wind from its mouth and blowing away the quills.

However, while this was happening, the porcupine had also pulled back, retreating to a more favorable position.

This series of splendid clashes even sparked some interest in Lu Xuan, who was watching from the wings.

It was an extremely exciting battle, and even confrontations between human fighters might not be as thrilling as this.

These two strange beasts were extraordinary, and in terms of strength, they were probably no weaker than a Level Five human Baodan Grandmaster. They were even comparable to the best Baodan Grandmasters.

If they consumed the Marrow Cleansing Fruit, they might even be able to become as strong as a Level Six martial arts legend.

If that were to happen, they would become a serious problem for humans.

All eyes would be on them as they went on their wild rampage.

In his past life, as the world began to change, it was common for a Level Seven or even Level Six savage beast to be the cause of an enormous incident.

Mankind’s current firearms were not useless against them, but the fighting would cause massive amounts of casualties, and both sides would suffer heavy losses.

The best way was still for Cultivators to deal with these monsters.

This was also basically the reason why Cultivator culture boomed in later years. All of humanity needed this kind of culture and this kind of strength in order to protect themselves.

After the two strange beast’s initial probing exchange of blows, they immediately tried to feel each other out again. However, neither of them committed their full strength into an attack. It was as though they were both waiting for something.

Lu Xuan knew that the two strange beasts were waiting for the Marrow Cleansing Fruit to ripen, which was why they were as yet unwilling to fight to the death.

In reality, they were not the only ones waiting, as Lu Xuan was also waiting for the Marrow Cleansing Fruit to ripen.

This was why he was waiting by the wings, not making a move, watching the two savage beasts try to kill each other.

In his past life, the Marrow Cleansing Fruits here might be destined to end up with these two savage beasts. Yet now, it was not up to them to decide.

Even if they were not at the strength of a Level Five, and were a Level Six existence, they were insignificant in Lu Xuan’s eyes.

In the forested mountain, the two savage beast’s roars continued to echo out. Under the moonlight, the scene might make an average person’s hair stand on end, as though they had seen an unbelievable sight.

However, to Lu Xuan, it was like an everyday scene to him, and there was nothing out of the ordinary about it.

As the shroud of night deepened, an enticing aroma continued to waft from the Marrow Cleansing Fruits hanging on the tree.

Lu Xuan understood that this was a sign that the fruits were about to be ripe. The two strange beasts also began howling impatiently in response.

They knew that as the fragrance began to spread further, while regular humans and other living creatures did not have such a sensitive sense of smell, other strange beasts would be able to detect it with their extremely keen senses.

They feared that as more and more of them gathered, there would be a huge battle occurring here.

“It’s almost time!”

Lu Xuan had considered this possibility as well. He worried that the numbers of strange beasts would keep increasing and that they would get in his way.

When he reached this conclusion, Lu Xuan made up his mind and drew the long sword on his back.

The moment he drew his sword, he alerted the two strange beasts, which were still in the midst of their confrontation.

The two strange beasts probably did not think that a human could get this close to them without them noticing.

Instantly, they emitted low growls, as pairs of red eyes locked on to Lu Xuan.

“I’ll give you one chance right now to leave this place. In view of the difficult cultivation you had to endure to this point, I will give you a chance to escape with your life. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing mercy!”

Looking at the two strange beasts, Lu Xuan pronounced his warning.

He was aware that the two strange beasts could mostly understand what he was saying. These strange beasts had been nourished by the world’s spirit qi, which induced their mutations.

The evolution had not only affected their bodies, but their brains were also evolving. At this stage, they were still quite different from a regular human, but they should be able to grasp the meaning behind Lu Xuan’s warning.

However, the two strange beasts were clearly already out for blood. They seemed to pounce at Lu Xuan at the same time.

The leopard was especially fast, and its sleek and lithe body was especially beautiful under the moonlit night sky.

Accompanying this beautiful sight, however, was the ferocious face of the leopard. Its ravening mouth was wide open, continuously spitting out gale-force winds in an attempt to blow Lu Xuan away.

“Since you’re being so stubborn, don’t blame me for what happens!” Lu Xuan yelled out, as he casually slashed forward with the long sword in his hands. Empowered by his Vigor, the sword easily sliced the gusts blowing at him in half.

Poof! The sword crashed down, chopping the leopard cleanly into two before it could even display its full ferocity.

If it had not met Lu Xuan, it might have grown to become an evil superpower in the future.

After all, it had undergone these mutations in this age, when the world had yet to fully change, so it would have an easy time of it in the future.

The death of the leopard did not scare the porcupine, as it shot out countless quills, raining a barrage down on Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan easily swept them away with a violent burst of wind, blowing all of the quills straight out of the sky.

Even though with his skills, he could have cut down every one of the quills, it was an unnecessary move, as he could simply sweep his sword horizontally and blow them down with the air pressure from his slash.

This was then quickly followed up with another strike from his sword.

In an instant, the giant body of the porcupine was cleaved in half.

Fresh blood gushed out everywhere!

Though this porcupine had undergone a mutation, and its strength was incomparable to other porcupines, it still had to choose its opponents wisely. Faced with someone like Lu Xuan, its power was grossly insufficient.

“What a shame,” Lu Xuan remarked, feeling slightly regretful. “The meat from these strange mutated beasts isn’t cheap and is quite beneficial for novice Cultivators. It’s a pity I’m barehanded and can’t take it all back with me!”

However, he then turned his gaze towards the fruit tree, as he quickly retrieved wooden boxes he had prepared earlier. Then, he hurriedly plucked the Marrow Cleansing Fruits from the tree and placed them into the wooden boxes.

When he had finished this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The fruit’s fragrance was contained, and he did not have to worry about other strange beasts being drawn by the smell.
