Free Web NovelChapter 2119: Chapter 2074: Testing the Waters
Because now they were incredibly close to the Giant Bear, it was entirely possible that the next second the bear could emerge from some corner.
As they walked, a stone wall suddenly appeared ahead.
Ice shards formed all around the stone wall.
And at the very center of that stone wall, a small green branch swayed in the wind.
Around the ice shards, not a single blade of grass grew, yet this branch remained unscathed. This detail alone revealed its extraordinary nature.
"Chasing Wind Grass?"
Chen Yang’s eyes lit up, but he didn’t act rashly. Instead, he took out a scroll and made a careful comparison.
Indeed, the branch growing on the stone wall was Chasing Wind Grass!
However, there was nothing around it.
The Giant Bear mentioned in the task scroll was nowhere to be found.
"Could it be out hunting?"
Chen Yang looked around, and once he confirmed there was no Giant Bear, he quickly approached the stone wall and stretched out his hand, cautiously picking the Chasing Wind Grass intact.
Hit the jackpot!
He earned over three thousand contribution coins effortlessly!
Chen Yang was elated.
How is this different from picking up contribution coins for free?
He had obtained the Chasing Wind Grass and was about to turn and leave.
But before he could turn around, he felt an intense threat from behind!
ROAR!!!
The next second, an extremely furious roar sounded, followed by a massive figure charging towards Chen Yang.
Although Chen Yang had his back to it, his keen senses allowed him to dodge just in time and jump to the side.
BAM!!!
A massive bear paw struck air and hit the stone wall.
The thick stone wall, under the Giant Bear’s hand, was as fragile as a tofu crumb.
With just one slap, it crumbled into pieces, debris flying everywhere.
"Damn!"
Chen Yang was shocked!
If that slap had landed on him, what would have happened?
Chen Yang widened his eyes, his gaze quickly shifting to the Giant Bear that shattered the stone wall.
The Giant Bear stood four to five zhang tall, with bulging muscles all over its body.
Its white fur was covered with ice shards, resembling a layer of armor.
"Damn human, you dare to covet my Chasing Wind Grass! I will make you regret coming here!"
The Giant Bear’s voice was icy, filled with killing intent!
It clearly harbored extreme animosity towards humans!
Chen Yang knew a battle was inevitable.
This Giant Bear harbored hatred towards humans.
And Chen Yang had picked the Chasing Wind Grass; it wouldn’t rest until one of them was dead!
So any words would be useless; only through fighting could the truth be revealed!
"Bring it on." Chen Yang carefully put the Chasing Wind Grass into his Storage Silk Pouch, then directly activated his Cultivation Technique.
Gathering Spirit Seal!
With the increase in his Realm, the power of the Gathering Spirit Seal attack he unleashed now was incomparable to before.
Chen Yang struck out with a palm, sending a small seal towards the Giant Bear.
The seal was tiny, appearing blue.
Although small, the Spiritual Energy contained within it was immense!
This one strike could definitely take down most late-stage Gathering Spirit experts in an instant.
But before the also Condensation Realm Giant Bear, it appeared somewhat lacking.
ROAR!!
The Giant Bear, seeing Chen Yang taking the initiative to attack it, became even more enraged.
With a roar, it swung another slap.
The slap directly dissipated the Gathering Spirit Seal!
Goodness, it’s this fierce.
Breaking all methods with sheer power?
"Die!" The enraged Giant Bear, after dissipating the Gathering Spirit Seal, immediately roared and charged at Chen Yang himself.
Its massive body was like a gigantic machine, crushing and breaking all the towering trees along its path.
The Gathering Spirit Seal was ineffective against this creature, so Chen Yang didn’t waste effort.
Without a second thought, he directly drew the Stone-Cutting Sword and engaged in battle with the Giant Bear.
The Giant Bear was immensely powerful, but Chen Yang’s strength was not small either.
Although their sizes clearly weren’t in the same league, the battle was evenly matched.
The Giant Bear’s massive body meant its agility was far less than Chen Yang’s.
It suffered small losses each time.
What surprised Chen Yang was that the ice shards on the Giant Bear seemed to defy logic.
They could actually block the sharp Stone-Cutting Sword.
Bear in mind, the Stone-Cutting Sword had never failed to cut through anything.
The Giant Bear’s ice shard armor was the first.
Clang, clang, clank...
A man and a bear battled fiercely in the forest, creating a tremendous commotion!
The bear’s roars, along with the sound of metal clashing, echoed for miles around.
"With your abilities, you dare to covet my Chasing Wind Grass? Today, you’re destined to die." The Giant Bear roared wildly, its claws ceaselessly swiping and tearing everything.
Including the ground, which was left with pits more than a meter deep.
In terms of strength, Chen Yang could barely contend, but couldn’t sustain it for long.
So, Chen Yang relied on his agile speed, countering while silently deflecting force.
He diverted most of the Giant Bear’s power, only consuming a small part of it.
The battle raged on for a long time, yet neither side could prevail.
And in this confrontation, Chen Yang was constantly seeking the Giant Bear’s flaws.
But the Giant Bear’s body, covered with ice shards, was virtually invulnerable!
There were no apparent weaknesses.
After more than an hour of fighting, the enraged Giant Bear’s eyes were bloodshot!
And the surrounding forest was almost entirely flattened by the battle’s aftermath.
The area within a few hundred meters was devastated, a total wasteland.
"I must see how thick your skin really is!"
In the previous battle, Chen Yang had yet to use the Triple Slash Sword Technique, all in hopes of finding the Giant Bear’s weak spot for a single lethal blow.
Trying to catch it off guard.
But after searching this long without finding a weakness, Chen Yang grew impatient.
Ignoring all else, he directly executed the Triple Slash Sword Technique!
The Triple Slash Sword Technique, incredibly subtle, left a sword shadow wherever it passed.
Eventually, all those sword shadows merged into an indestructible sword ray that shot towards the Giant Bear.
Chen Yang had been holding back before, and the Giant Bear never expected Chen Yang to suddenly change attack strategy and switch to offense.
So when the sword ray formed, it was still in the motion of raising its paw to strike at Chen Yang.
At this point, dodging was impossible.
So it could only force its paw down.
And with that slap, it directly collided with the incoming sword ray.
The Stone-Cutting Sword couldn’t break its ice shard defense, but the sword ray integrated with Triple Slash Sword Technique could.
The sword ray shot forth, tearing a huge gash in the Giant Bear’s paw, blood flowing!
ROAR!!!
The Giant Bear, in pain, let out a wretched howl.
Seeing it was effective, Chen Yang immediately seized the opportunity, continuously firing a barrage of sword rays at the Giant Bear.
At the same time, his left hand rapidly formed a hand seal, deploying the Demon Suppression Record Cultivation Technique!
Since discovering last time that the Demon Suppression Record had a special restraint effect on malevolent beings, Chen Yang focused intensively on cultivating it.
With a deeper understanding, Chen Yang surprisingly found that the Demon Suppression Record was not just a mind technique.
It possessed fierce moves capable of subduing enemies!
His right hand kept executing the Triple Slash Sword Technique, while his left hand operated the Demon Suppression Record.
