Chapter 540: Chapter 514: Born to Fight

Liang Tai knew very well that this was his little junior brother’s first time fighting a Seventh-Level Calamity Beast.

But his mindset was as steady as a rock, his strikes fast, precise, and ruthless.

His face was expressionless, unflinching even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him.

Not only was his Cultivation Talent strong, but his Combat Talent was also astonishing.

His judgment was incredible; the Steel Bone Giant Tiger seemed to have already become his prey.

He was an innate War God!

”Where did this genius come from?!”

The Red-armored Woman was the most impressed. Although she had inflicted some damage on the Iron Armor Rhinoceros, killing it would still take a considerable amount of time.

At the High Realm, Martial Artists could generally achieve victory against Calamity Beasts of the same level.

It just wasn’t the same as in the Low Realm, where they could slaughter them at will.

It usually took a significant amount of time to secure a kill.

The only exceptions were the absolute top-tier geniuses, who could slaughter their opponents regardless of their Realm.

But the Red-armored Woman had become mediocre after breaking through to the Seventh Realm.

She had already prepared herself for a long, drawn-out battle.

And the Steel Bone Giant Tiger was in no way inferior to the Iron Armor Rhinoceros; it possessed both strength and speed.

She had a feeling Lin Qi might end his battle even faster.

”BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!”

Another ten streams of Spear Gang struck the Steel Bone Giant Tiger in the exact same spot.

Its neck was hit again, and blood flowed freely.

”SPLAT!!”

A large amount of blood spattered onto the muddy ground.

”ROAR!!”

The Steel Bone Giant Tiger let out a roar of impotent rage.

”WHOOSH!!”

The corners of Lin Qi’s mouth turned up slightly. ’Just a few more times,’ he thought, ’and the Steel Bone Giant Tiger will fall.’

”Rooaaar...”

In an instant, Lin Qi’s brow furrowed. He sensed intense danger.

”ROAR!!”

The Steel Bone Giant Tiger’s aura erupted. Its muscles bulged, and its veins popped out.

Its thick limbs stomped the ground, and it suddenly leaped forward.

”WHIRL!!”

A violent gale kicked up. Its oppressive aura was frenzied, and the pupils of its tiger eyes dilated.

But this time, the Steel Bone Giant Tiger’s attack was too fast. It burst forth with astonishing speed in an instant, its aura flaring.

Seeing this, a thought surfaced in Lin Qi’s mind—Divine Power!

An Ability his academy instructor once taught him about, exclusive to High-Level Calamity Beasts.

A Seventh-Level Calamity Beast’s Divine Power was weaker, but it was still a Divine Power, and it had enhanced the Steel Bone Giant Tiger’s physical attributes by a large margin.

”Rooaaar...”

”Not good! The Steel Bone Giant Tiger has released its Divine Power!”

The Red-armored Woman saw this and thought, ’This is bad!’ She grew worried for Lin Qi’s safety.

When pushed into a desperate situation, High-Level Calamity Beasts would use their Divine Power.

That was why most Martial Artists would choose to kill them directly, giving them no chance to use it.

If the beast managed to use it, one had to do their best to evade.

”WHOOSH!”

Lin Qi activated his [golden eyes]. Even though his perception of time slowed, the Steel Bone Giant Tiger’s attack was still too fast for him to dodge.

He forcefully raised his Black Gold Spear to block, covering the surface of his body with Gang Power.

The heaven-concealing tiger paw swiped at him, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind.

”BANG!!”

The sharp Tiger Claw slammed against the Black Gold Spear. In an instant, Lin Qi felt a terrifying force transmit from the spear’s shaft into his own body.

The Gang Power on the surface of his body warped like liquid, and he was sent flying.

”Junior Brother!”

His senior brother, Liang Tai, cried out in alarm.

Wang Zixuan, Xiao Yu, and Xi Jing’s eyes widened as well.

”BANG!”

Lin Qi’s body was blasted back more than ten meters. He did a somersault before landing on the ground.

He frowned, his arms numb and the Qi Blood in his body churning.

If his Gang Power and Combat Suit hadn’t absorbed most of the force, that single blow would have been enough to cause him significant injury.

”Cough, cough!!”

Lin Qi coughed, and Golden Gang Power once again coated his body.

”That really packed a punch!”

A smile spread across Lin Qi’s face; on the contrary, he found it exhilarating.

Geniuses of his own age could rarely put this much pressure on him anymore.

His blood was already boiling with excitement.

One of his Talents allowed him to unleash even greater Combat Power when facing non-human creatures like Calamity Beasts.

”Bring it on!” Lin Qi roared.

”ROAR!!”

The Steel Bone Giant Tiger pounced again, its confidence soaring. In the Otherworld, as long as it unleashed its Divine Power, it could quickly end any fight and kill its opponent.

It was undefeated, having never lost a battle.

Because to lose meant becoming its opponent’s food.

It swiped with its Tiger Claw and opened its cavernous mouth.

Seeing this, the Gang Power in Lin Qi’s body surged out once more. This time, the Gang Power was even thicker, condensing into a four-meter-long Golden Spear Gang that shot forward.

At the same time, he charged out himself.

After fighting for so long, he finally decided to engage in close combat.

”PFFT—”

The Golden Spear Gang shot into the Steel Bone Giant Tiger’s mouth, but it snapped its jaws shut, its fangs biting down on the Spear Gang.

The Spear Gang exploded, filling its mouth with blood.

Lin Qi transformed into a streak of golden Lightning, easily dodging the attack. He leaped high into the air, his entire body erupting with power as his veins popped and muscles bulged.

A Golden Spear Gang was highly compressed and coated his Black Gold Spear.

Seizing the opportunity, his Mountain and River Realm manifested, flowing around the tip of his spear.

Empowered by the Mental Realm, his spear’s speed increased.

He aimed for the Steel Bone Giant Tiger’s neck, a spot that was already blasted open and bleeding.

”PFFT—”

With the sound of metal piercing flesh, the spear tip penetrated skin and muscle, shredding the throat.

”BANG!”

The entire Long Spear plunged into its neck, and the terrifying force sent the Steel Bone Giant Tiger’s body crashing to the ground.

”Rooaaar...”

Blood showered down on Lin Qi. Amidst a miserable roar, the Steel Bone Giant Tiger’s limbs twitched for a moment before falling completely still.

”BANG!”

Lin Qi pulled out his Long Spear and gave his body a shake, sending the blood on him scattering like raindrops onto the ground.

Merit Points +8000!

Lin Qi had read about it. The bones of a Steel Bone Giant Tiger were exceptionally precious. The Tiger Bone Pill he had taken before contained a small amount of them. The kill was worth 8,000 Merit Points.

Not far away, Liang Tai was also stunned.

’He successfully killed the Seventh-Level Calamity Beast, the Steel Bone Giant Tiger, just like that?’

’Wasn’t that victory a little too easy?’

He had seen a well-known Seventh Realm Martial Artist fight a Steel Bone Giant Tiger, and their fierce battle lasted nearly half an hour before it ended.

And that Martial Artist had been covered in injuries.

But his own junior brother was a Seventh Realm Martial Artist who had just broken through, wasn’t he?

In the distance, the Red-armored Woman glanced over at the situation and couldn’t help but stare, her eyes wide.

’He won?’

She was distracted for a moment, and the Iron Armor Rhinoceros’s horn thrust toward her.

”BANG!”

She narrowly dodged the Rhino Horn, her Battle Sword clashing with the Spiral Horn. A terrifying force rebounded from the impact.

”BANG!”

Her body was sent flying, crashing into a ruined building and kicking up clouds of dust.

”MOOOO—”

The Iron Armor Rhinoceros let out an excited roar, its pillar-like limbs stomping heavily on the ground.

”RUMBLE!”

The ground shook violently. It charged like a mobile Steel Fortress, stirring up clouds of dust as a terrifying killing intent washed over her.

”Not good!”

The Red-armored Woman felt a heaviness in her body as waves of pain washed over her.

Suddenly, a heaven-concealing rhino hoof came stomping down.

”You beast! Die!”

Suddenly, an explosive shout rang out.

A Golden Spear Gang streaked across the sky and slammed heavily into the Iron Armor Rhinoceros’s eye.

”PFFT—”

The Spear Gang pierced the eyeball, and blood splattered out.

Amid a pained roar, the Iron Armor Rhinoceros’s hoof landed to the side.

”WHOOSH!”

The Red-armored Woman instantly got up and moved to the side.

”WHOOSH!!”

Then, several more streams of Spear Gang tore through the sky, striking the Iron Armor Rhinoceros’s weak points like a volley of a thousand arrows.

”BANG! BANG!!”

The Red-armored Woman turned her head. A fierce wind blew strands of her hair as a black streak of lightning shot past her.

He was like a dazzling golden sun, a terrifying aura radiating from his body.

Lin Qi once again swung his Black Gold Spear, pouring all his strength into it, condensing a Spear Gang, and unleashing the Mountain and River Six Strikes.

He shot forward from his spot like an arrow, thrusting with the spear tip enveloped in Spear Gang.

Mountain and River Spear Technique—Flowing Water Stab!

He infused the Mountain and River Realm into his spear and thrust with all his might.

”PFFT—”

The Long Spear struck the Iron Armor Rhinoceros’s weakest point, piercing its tough, steel-like skin, but it got stuck in the muscle.

Lin Qi clearly felt the resistance, unable to push any deeper.

This Iron Armor Rhinoceros’s defensive ability was much stronger than the Steel Bone Giant Tiger’s.

”MOOOOAR—”

The Iron Armor Rhinoceros tipped over and fell to the ground.

It let out a bellow, its eyes turning red as the blood in its body began to circulate faster.

It struggled, trying to get back up.

”Not good! The Iron Armor Rhinoceros is using its Divine Power!”

The Red-armored Woman shouted in panic. At the same time, she swung her Battle Sword, releasing a Sword Gang that she aimed at the beast’s neck.

Seeing this, Lin Qi abruptly pulled out his Black Gold Spear.

He gritted his teeth, veins popping all over his body. His blood flow accelerated, and immense power surged through him.

He swung his Long Spear again, stabbing toward the wound once more.

”PFFT—”

Blood sprayed wildly!

The Iron Armor Rhinoceros scrambled to its feet and violently shook its head. As Lin Qi pulled his spear free, he was flung away.

”BANG!”

Lin Qi’s body tumbled for several dozen meters across the ground before coming to a stop.

”MOOOO—”

The Iron Armor Rhinoceros roared in fury. Blood gushed from its neck like water from an open faucet, flowing endlessly.

It charged madly for over a hundred meters before its body tipped to the side and collapsed heavily onto the ground, leaving a pool of blood.

The smell of blood filled the air.

The air fell silent.

”Phew!!”

Lin Qi slowly got to his feet. His brand-new Battle Armor was now covered in blood and dust.

He felt his Qi Blood churning and his arms were numb.

He then circulated his Gang Power to shake the dust and blood from his body.

Looking at the Iron Armor Rhinoceros’s corpse not far away, a smile appeared on his face.

Merit Points +9000!

Among Seventh-Level Calamity Beasts, the Iron Armor Rhinoceros was known for being very valuable and difficult to kill.

Its hide was thick, and weapons often got stuck when striking it.

It was famously hard to kill.

But it was also extremely valuable.

Sometimes, the Merit Points from killing one were equal to killing two or three other Seventh-Level Calamity Beasts.

He, Lin Qi, had slain two Seventh-Level Calamity Beasts on his second day at Black Dragon Base!

The Red-armored Woman stared at the fallen Iron Armor Rhinoceros, her expression dazed.

The Iron Armor Rhinoceros was dead, just like that!

So easily!

She recalled how he had broken through the Iron Armor Rhinoceros’s defense with a single spear strike and made it bleed uncontrollably with a second.

She had been hacking away for ages and hadn’t even broken its defense.

The contrast was too stark. The gap was too obvious.

It made her look so weak!

”Are you all right?”

Lin Qi turned his head and asked the Red-armored Woman.

”I’m fine!”

The Red-armored Woman shook her head.

”Alright then. The war isn’t over yet.”

Lin Qi said, then charged toward the other Calamity Beasts.

Fighting two Seventh-Level Calamity Beasts in a row had thoroughly activated his body.

He could still keep fighting!
