At the exact moment it darted out, a streak of cyan-black sword light slashed above the line of its travel.
Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the sword light had already been launched before it had even leapt. It was simply that the giant cat was so fast, even faster than the sword light, as if it had deliberately put itself in front of the sword light.
Splat.
The cyan-black sword light flashed by. The beast, previously an apparition, suddenly materialized, with a gaping wound in its skull. It happened so fast that there was no visible blood. However, when the Green Reed Sword went through, everything inside its skull had already been shattered to pieces.
The giant cat-like beast fell heavily to the ground.
Han Yi recalled the three Tiandu daggers, which had gradually calmed down and stopped spinning. He sheathed the Green Reed Sword behind his back, looking at the giant cat-like beast that lay dead in front of him.
He activated his jade ring, recorded an image of the beast’s death, then turned it off again.
Then, Han Yi stared at the beast. He always felt that this beast was not simple. After thinking for a while, he collected the entirety of the beast into his storage bag. The beast was quite large, taking up an entire new storage bag. Thankfully, Han Yi had plenty of storage bags. It fit just fine.
“This beast, 1 estimate, must be the strongest one on this island. After all, creatures born with divine abilities are rare. Even if the Eastern Sea Evil Clan are numerous, they shouldn’t bunch up.”
Yes, the speed displayed by this beast was astonishing, leaving even Han Yi momentarily startled. He guessed that it was likely a divine ability, concentrating on speed.
Luckily, he had plenty of tricks up his sleeve. After blocking the beast momentarily, he instantly used the Tiandu daggers to trap it, creating an opening.
This opening was the path to death intentionally left for the beast.
Thus, he managed to slay it in one fell swoop.
If it had been any other Qi Cultivation Peak cultivator, they would have been torn apart by the beast upon first contact.
After collecting the beast’s corpse, Han Yi carefully surveyed his surroundings. Finding no other beasts appearing, he cautiously retreated. He withdrew a good ten miles until he reached the outskirts of the island. When he was only about a kilometer away from his original landing point, he identified a huge, concealed tree hole. After some camouflage and setting up a Concealment Spirit Array that perfectly covered this tree hole, he sat down to cultivate.
Three days later, a bolt of thunder awakened Han Yi from his cultivation.
Outside the tree hole, the sounds of wind and rain mixed together, emerging sporadically amid the thunder.
The tree hole was already dim, thus it was unclear whether it was night or day. Han Yi remained silent, a sudden wave of loneliness overwhelming him. This feeling had just appeared when Han Yi promptly cut it off.
Following that, he stood up and checked the Concealment Spirit Array he had set up, found no issues, then returned to the center of the tree hole to sit down again.
The Spirit Stone in his hand transformed into Spirit Energy nourishing his body.
Constant dripping wears away a stone; grains of sand come together to form a tower.
Seven days later.
A terrifying roar resounded, causing the tree hole to rattle. Han Yi abruptly stood up, a trace of fear flashing across his heart.
“This roar, it definitely surpasses that of an ordinary beast; it must be a Demon Cultivator.”
“There’s actually a Demon Cultivator on this island. Luckily, I didn’t venture too deep.”
Previously on the Immortal Boat, the Stars Sea cultivators explained that in the area between the coastal and deep sea regions, although beasts were extremely rare, it didn’t mean that there were none. There could be some fearless Demon Cultivators hiding on some island. Once discovered, though they may be able to kill a few Qi Cultivating Cultivators, their deaths would be inevitable.
If you encounter them, there’s no need for words – just flee for your life.
“However, this roar… it sounds familiar. It’s nearly identical to that of the giant cat-like beast 1 killed earlier.”
“Did I kill the youngster, and now the elder has come?”
Han Yi felt a jolt in his heart, unease creeping up within him.
Half a day later, the beast’s roar finally subsided. Han Yi’s uneasiness gradually faded, and he continued his cultivation.
A year and a half later.
Han Yi, in the tree hole, opened his eyes, a brilliant light flashing across them. Around his seated body lay shards of Spirit Stones.
A year and a half’s time had brought no changes to his skills but had marked significant progress in his Realm.
[Lifespan: 45/149]
[Realm: Qi Cultivation Level Nine (55/100)]
Han Yi had calculated that for Qi Cultivation Level Nine, if one reached over 50% progression in their realm, they would be classified in the category of senior Level Nine. And if they reached over 90%, they would be at the Qi Cultivation Peak.
Thus, at this moment, his Cultivation Base was that of a senior Level Nine.
Han Yi slowly stood up. His aura was as steady as a mountain, a trace of confidence on his face. If he wasn’t in this place, he’d probably burst out laughing, releasing the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.
When he was at Qi Cultivation Level Six, he could kill a Level Eight Qi Cultivator wielding a Golden Light Shuttle.
When he was at Qi Cultivation Level Seven, he could kill a senior Level Nine cultivator dual-cultivating spirit and body with a halberd in Evil Mountain.
When he was at Qi Cultivation Level Eight, he killed a Qi Cultivation Peak cultivator in Facing Reality Cave Heaven, twice snatching Taixu Order fragments from Legendary Cultivators.
When he first entered Qi Cultivation Level Nine, he killed three Qi Cultivation Peak cultivators from the Gu family in an instant, and even dared to directly confront a Foundation Building old cultivator without any fear.
And now, he was a senior Level Nine. If Gu Zhijing was in front of him again, Han Yi felt that he would be able to slay him with his sword.
As for other Legendary Qi Cultivators, even if they were top-ranked Legendary Qi Cultivators from one of the two Holy Kingdoms or three Cave Heavens, Han Yi felt that even if he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t lose either.
Han Yi believed that as long as it wasn’t a cultivator at the Foundation Building Middle Level or above, he was now standing on invincible ground. Even if he lost, he could leave with ease.
After being silent for twenty-four varieties and steadily growing until now, Han Yi’s strength has finally reached a new level.
And strength is confidence..
