The second form of the Xuan Tian Jue was considerably more ferocious than the first.
Sensing the power contained within the attack, the Blizzard Beast immediately abandoned its dismissive gaze. With a mighty roar, it took a large step forward and swung its tail, aiming to sweep Ye Fei to the ground.
Clang.
The two attacks collided violently.
Unfortunately, the Blizzard Beast was far too thick-skinned; this blow had no effect on it whatsoever.
However, the Blizzard Beast did have its weaknesses.
Due to its immense size, the Blizzard Beast’s agility was somewhat lacking.
This allowed Ye Fei to fully capitalize on his own strengths.
After the failed attack, Ye Fei gained a clearer understanding of the Blizzard Beast’s capabilities.
“Impressive, it truly lives up to its reputation!”
“Its defensive power is indeed formidable!”
“It seems I must reveal my true skills!”
Ye Fei dared not be careless and charged towards the Blizzard Beast once more.
Roar.
Seeing that Ye Fei had nimbly dodged its attack, the Blizzard Beast turned and roared, lunging at Ye Fei with its fangs bared.
Ye Fei was fully prepared. Just as the Blizzard Beast’s cavernous maw was about to swallow him whole, Ye Fei shifted right, leaping up and landing on the creature’s back with a swift movement.
Upon seeing its prey escape once again, the Blizzard Beast roared in fury.
The remaining two Blizzard Beasts echoed its roars.
“Little brother, hurry!”
“I can’t hold on much longer!”
the young girl cried out loudly.
Ye Fei’s heart tightened. His eyes glinting with ferocity, he grabbed one of the Blizzard Beast’s horns with one hand and thrust his sword into its right eye with the other.
Squelch.
Ye Fei poured all his strength into the sword, driving it deep into the Blizzard Beast’s right eye.
Roar.
The intense pain made the Blizzard Beast writhe and roll.
It harbored an even deeper hatred for the man who had blinded one of its eyes, wishing to tear Ye Fei apart and devour him.
Ye Fei then used his strength to pull the sword out again.
He knew he had to press his advantage. Following the same pattern, he grabbed the remaining horn on the Blizzard Beast’s right side, his blood-stained sword ready to stab at the other eye.
However, sensing Ye Fei’s next move, the Blizzard Beast exerted all its might, shaking and charging wildly, desperate to dislodge Ye Fei from its back.
Its thick, spiny tail also whipped towards Ye Fei.
After a series of evasions, Ye Fei was eventually thrown off and landed heavily on the ground.
Just as the Blizzard Beast’s foreleg was about to stomp down on Ye Fei.
If successful, Ye Fei would be crippled, if not killed.
“Run!”
The young girl, witnessing this, was utterly terrified, her voice hoarse.
“Ha!”
Ye Fei pushed himself up with his hands, executing a rapid roll to narrowly avoid the Blizzard Beast’s stomp.
“That was close!”
If Ye Fei’s footwork had been less proficient, he would likely have become the Blizzard Beast’s victim by now.
Seeing that the Blizzard Beast was on the verge of losing its temper, Ye Fei made a swift decision. Drawing his sword, he lightly stepped on the Blizzard Beast’s tail and leaped onto its back once more.
The Blizzard Beast was infuriated. This bipedal creature was incredibly troublesome!
“Die!”
Ye Fei exerted all his strength, driving his sword fiercely into the Blizzard Beast’s left eye.
However, Ye Fei was not as fortunate this time.
He was struck on the back by the Blizzard Beast’s tail.
The skin on his back was torn open.
Had Ye Fei not dodged in time, he might have been permanently disabled.
Now, with both eyes pierced, this Blizzard Beast was effectively blind.
Ye Fei was never one to show mercy.
He would not let such a golden opportunity pass him by.
He quickly advanced, using his Fei Yun Bu footwork, and struck forcefully at the Blizzard Beast’s neck.
With another surge of strength, Ye Fei ended the Blizzard Beast’s life amidst its unwilling cries.
“I’ll help you!”
Having just finished off one Blizzard Beast, Ye Fei rushed to the young girl’s side.
She had sustained some injuries, particularly a chunk of flesh torn from her arm by the Blizzard Beast’s bite.
“Little brother, you’re amazing!”
“I never thought you could actually kill that Blizzard Beast!”
The young girl breathed a sigh of relief when Ye Fei finally arrived.
The remaining two Blizzard Beasts had gone completely berserk.
They charged forward, biting indiscriminately.
“Enough talk, let’s take them down first!”
“You distract them, and I’ll deliver the killing blow!”
Ye Fei declared, then vanished from the young girl’s sight.
Seeing their target disappear, the two Blizzard Beasts became agitated, roaring and sniffing the air in all directions.
The young girl was already fighting with all her might to fend off the two creatures. Just as she was about to be overwhelmed, Ye Fei reappeared with a whoosh.
“Xuan Tian Jue, Second Form!”
“Slash!”
Whoosh.
Because Ye Fei was now extremely close to the two Blizzard Beasts, they could not escape his attack. Ye Fei’s sword severed both their heads in two swift strikes.
“That scared me to death!”
“I thought I was going to die here.”
the young girl said, her voice trembling with lingering fear.
After felling the three Blizzard Beasts in quick succession, Ye Fei’s internal Yuan Li was completely depleted, making even speaking a strenuous effort.
He then laboriously opened his Qian Kun Bag, retrieved a Qing Xin Dan, and consumed it, regaining a sliver of his strength.
“Little girl, thank you!”
“Don’t worry, once we find a safe place, I’ll immediately refine some pills for you.”
Ye Fei promised.
“What?”
“You can refine pills too?”
“Are you kidding me?”
The young girl instinctively felt Ye Fei was boasting.
Given Ye Fei’s heaven-defying ability to fight opponents far above his level, if he could also refine pills, then ordinary martial artists would have no choice but to throw themselves against a wall and die.
Although Ye Fei knew she didn’t believe him, it wasn’t the right time to explain.
Looking at the weather, it was likely to continue snowing heavily, and the temperature would plummet drastically. Therefore, finding a place to rest was a priority.
After explaining his thoughts to the young girl, Ye Fei proceeded to collect the heads of the three Blizzard Beasts.
“Alright, let’s get out of here quickly!”
Ye Fei said.
The two then left the area, heading towards a warmer location.
