Chapter 88 - Kill evil
Chapter 88: Kill evil
The Golden Scale Beast was a beast with a trace of the bloodline of the ancient fierce beast Taowu.
In Jiang Huai’s eyes, the Golden Scale Beast looked more like a lion or tiger, about four meters long and two meters tall, with its main attack being close combat. The claws of the Golden Scale Beast were particularly sharp, and the scales on its skin shone with golden light, especially hard, hence its name.
Jiang Huai held his sword and immediately struck at the eyes of the Golden Scale Beast in front of him.
Lin Ji also drew his sword, and the thin cultivator wielded a long stick while Bai Li also drew her sword. The four of them leaped up almost simultaneously, with swords and sticks striking out. The Golden Scale Beast let out a deafening call, causing everyone to stagger, and it pounced towards Lin Ji, who was charging at the front. The chubby cultivator, hiding behind the others, calmly gathered spiritual energy, which turned into spiritual ropes, winding towards the Golden Scale Beast.
The Golden Scale Beast swung its sharp claws, and the swords of the four struck its body. The scales of the Golden Scale Beast were indeed hard, and the marks of the swords only left white scratches on its scales. Fortunately, the thin cultivator’s stick smashed into the waist of the Golden Scale Beast, causing it to cry out in pain and swing its claws chaotically. Jiang Huai and Bai Li exchanged a glance, and without needing to speak, they simultaneously stabbed the eyes of the Golden Scale Beast.
Lin Ji then slashed at the cheek of the Golden Scale Beast, and soon its pale golden blood flowed out. It howled as its scales turned a faint red, and it broke free from its restraints, pouncing towards the four in front.
Jiang Huai and Bai Li dodged particularly quickly, while Lin Ji was not so lucky. He was slow to dodge, and the Golden Scale Beast turned its claws and slapped him on the chest. Jiang Huai and Bai Li immediately struck the Golden Scale Beast with their swords. Since Lin Ji had not betrayed them, they naturally respected the spirit of the contract.
The Golden Scale Beast, no matter how strong, was only at the great completion of the late-stage Nascent Soul. In the cave, Lin Ji was at the mid-stage Nascent Soul, and the fat and thin cultivators were also at the mid-stage Nascent Soul. Not to mention Bai Li’s great completion of the mid-stage Nascent Soul. The key was the stab Jiang Huai and Bai Li made into the eyes of the Golden Scale Beast, which blurred its vision, and it could only distinguish based on the breath of the people. Despite its struggle, after the time it takes an incense stick to burn, it ultimately ended its life with a mournful howl.
The final sword was delivered by Bai Li. She grabbed Jiang Huai’s Ye Ning sword and stabbed it into the heart of the Golden Scale Beast, giving it a quick end.
It was a close call.
Jiang Huai glanced at Bai Li, who was unharmed, as was he. On the other hand, Lin Ji and the thin cultivator had some injuries. After all, Jiang Huai and Bai Li had dodged too quickly, and the Golden Scale Beast had no chance to hurt them.
