As soon as the Demonic Beast left, Bei Feng loosed a sigh of relief. The pressure when facing the Demonic Beast had been too great—to a point where he couldn’t find any opportunities to burst out with power.

　　It wasn’t clear if the Demonic Beast simply did not deign to speak with Bei Feng or if there were other reasons, but Bei Feng had never heard it speak at all. Normally, a Demonic Beast should have developed the abiltiy to speak upon reaching the Controlled Dan realm.

　　Bei Feng did not dwell too much on this point. From the intelligence that this Demonic Beast had shown, its brainpower was definitely not something that could be compared with most other Demonic Beasts.

　　After checking that the little fox was still fine, Bei Feng closed his eyes and two top grade spirit stones appeared in his hands.

　　Black-colored blood flowed out steadily from his wounds, carrying a pungent smell. Although Bei Feng was in the midst of recuperation, he did not let down his guard and was constantly waiting for the appearance of the Demonic Beast.

　　At the same time, this period of peace was an excellent opportunity for him. If the Demonic Beast appeared again, he had the confidence to clobber it heavily!

　　Bei Feng was constantly on alert; as his mental power was heavily restricted, he had to spend more effort on physically observing his surroundings. Still, he was able to recover from his injuries very quickly. Only a tiny bit remained before he would be completely healed. However, the Demonic Beast’s sneak attack that he’d been anticipating did not occur.

　　‘This is good as well, I can’t just be delayed here indefinitely by that Demonic Beast. It’s best if we left each other alone,’ Bei Feng thought as the last bit of injury was healed. At this point, his cultivation had become incomparably deep. After such a long period of accumulation, he already had a feeling of being unable to repress himself. As the saying went, when water flows, a channel is formed. This was the same meaning.

　　“I have to leave as soon as possible, otherwise, if my cultivation broke through by itself, that would be a disaster,” Bei Feng murmured to himself as he stood up. But as he did so, his face instantly changed!

　　“Die!”

　　He did not have much time to think as he instantly blasted out with the Eagle Bear strike!

　　In the moment that he stood up, the tiger-leopard Demonic Beast suddenly jumped out in front of him. He’d been too careless!

　　He had been maintaining a high alert state the entire time when he was treating his wounds, but the Demonic Beast hadn’t appeared. Only when all his injuries were healed did he relax slightly. But who would have thought that this Demonic Beast actually understood the human heart so well, picking this most unexpected moment to make a sneak attack!

　　“Boom!”

　　The eagle and the bear were both overlords in the wild. The combination attack formed from the two complemented each other, and the increase in power was not just a little!

　　This strike of Bei Feng’s was not inferior to a cultivator who’d just broken through to the Void Gu realm at all!

　　Unfortunately, this Demonic Beast was already a Void Gu realm creature, and was not one that’d recently broken through. With a swipe of its claws, a sharp slicing attack smashed against the Eagle Bear strike!

　　The remnant shock wave did not deal any damage to the metal walls on the side. A huge explosion rang out, and the black and yellow Demonic Beast tore through the Eagle Bear claws and bit towards Bei Feng!

　　“Mixed Yuan Body, open!”

　　Bei Feng could not afford to have too much considerations at this point. If he weren’t careful, he could very well die here. At this point, he could only activate the Mixed Yuan Body secret art and try to kill this Demonic Beast!

　　This Demonic Beast was simply too crafty, and if he didn’t kill it now, he would never feel at ease!

　　“Kill!”

　　A terrifying aura burst out of Bei Feng’s body as he kicked towards the Demonic Beast. A green axe was wrapped around his leg, chopping towards it!

　　“Hou, ao!”

　　A roar that sounded like two roars superimposed onto one another rang out. The Demonic Beast that was in midair actually forcibly moved three meters sideways, causing Bei Feng’s attack to land on empty space!

　　Bei Feng was unfazed, as if he’d anticipated this outcome. Instead of retreating, he leaped forward, closing the distance with the Demonic Beast!

　　This Demonic Beast’s strength was not its strongest point, and it relied more on its speed and its incredibly sharp and venomous claws to deal damage. As long as Bei Feng managed to get near it, he had confidence in killing this fellow!

　　The Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle wing on Bei Feng’s back was unfurled, and his speed accelerated greatly in an instant. Numerous snow white feathers rained down in a 50-meter radius, emanating an intense chill!

　　The Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle was innately gifted, and was able to manipulate wind by nature. Given its talents in that area, it similarly had the ability to learn snow elemental skills!

　　The combination of wind and snow was an innate ability of the Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle. Normally, only the most powerful Celestial Snow Ridge Eagles that’d reached the Transcendent realm would be able to display such techniques. But at this moment, Bei Feng could not care less as he forcibly used the technique!

　　The result would be that he wouldn’t be able to use the wing for a long time, and its grade would drop as well!

　　The 50-meter-wide area seemed to have formed a domain, and the temperature was low to a shocking degree. Even Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts would not be able to endure for long in such conditions!

　　But to the Void Gu level Demonic Beast, this bit of cold was still not fatal. At the most, its movements would be affected slightly.

　　Bei Feng’s speed was fast, allowing him to exceed this Demonic Beast greatly in speed. Bei Feng grabbed the air in front of him, as if he were hefting a great sky blade, before swinging downward!

　　A black wing suddenly materialized in his hand, spanning ten over meters, chopping towards the Demonic Beast!

　　“Ying!”

　　An eagle cry rang out, breaking through the emptiness. In an instant, the black wing morphed into a shadow!

　　Bei Feng had confidence that this Demonic Beast would definitely not be able to dodge this strike at such close range!

　　But a moment later, Bei Feng’s expression turned ugly again. In the instant that the strike that was almost certain to hit the Demonic Beast neared it, the latter revealed a mocking smile and a green layer of wind appeared around its body as its speed suddenly doubled!

　　This Demonic Beast was simply too crafty. It’d only been testing Bei Feng earlier, and now it’d managed to force his trump card out.

　　At the same time, it felt a lingering fear in its heart, as well as a gloating pride. If it hadn’t tested this human a few times, it might really have been injured by the sudden burst of strength.

　　The Demonic Beast’s sudden increase in speed had caught Bei Feng completely off guard. The figure of the Giant Bear Dharma Idol instantly appeared on his back before merging into his body!

　　“Hou!”

　　In that moment, Bei Feng’s body began to transform as a layer of silver white light flashed out of his body. His body also grew rapidly, reaching five meters tall, and a suppressive aura surged from him!

　　This transformation was Bei Feng exchanging his speed to obtain more defense. At the same time, a female Star God appeared beside him, forming a set of armor out of moonlight on his body.

　　“Si-lah!”

　　The Demonic Beast appeared before Bei Feng and a claw instantly appeared on his chest. The incomparably sharp claws scraped against his skin, creating a grating sound and sending out countless sparks.

　　Bei Feng’s gigantic hand instantly grabbed towards the Demonic Beast, but it was easily evaded by the latter.

　　With a flash of its body, it appeared a dozen meters away, staring at Bei Feng cruelly.

　　Bei Feng looked down at his chest—or rather at the three lines of claw marks which exposed his bones and revealed his beating heart.

　　There wasn’t any redness of blood on the wound, except for a silvery white metallic material. Not a single drop of blood flowed from it.

　　“What sharp claws! Just a bit deeper and it would have gouged out my heart!

　　Bei Feng’s face did not show any expression as he looked at the Demonic Beast that was slowly backing off. Although he looked calm on the surface, his heart was filled with fury!

　　This Demonic Beast was very clever, and did not try to continue attacking by relying on its speed. Instead, it opted to back off to look for better opportunities.

　　It clearly understood where its advantages lay and what its weakness was. It could land several hits on this human, but the latter would be fine. But, all the other party needed to do was to land a proper hit on it and it would suffer heavy injuries!

　　It also knew that it could afford to drag things out, but Bei Feng could not. Once the time was up, Bei Feng would be a helpless lamb, laid out for it to slaughter!

　　“Eight Steps Chasing Cicada!”

　　Bei Feng threw caution to the wind. This Demonic Beast’s claws were too sharp, and both layers of defense had been shattered by it. In that moment, he could not care if his body could endure the load as he directly used a martial technique!

　　This was a martial technique that closely imitated the Dao. Even normal people, with long enough practice, could develop a skill called “Eight Steps Chasing Horses”. It was a performance skill that allowed one to accelerate tremendously in a short time, catching up to even furious galloping horses within eight steps, and leaping onto said galloping horse’s back. If skilled enough, one could even stand up straight on the horse’s back and perform all kinds of acrobatics!

　　As for martial cultivators, their movement speed was already very high; after using the Eight Steps Chasing Cicada skill, they would reach an even more terrifying level of speed. Of course, the cicada mentioned here was not the common cicada, but golden cicada!

　　Golden cicadas had terrifying speed, and since ancient times, there was the phrase ‘escape like a golden cicada casting off its skin’. A fully grown golden cicada’s speed was one of the fastest, even among all the creatures of the Myriad Worlds!

　　This Eight Steps Chasing Cicada was not some acrobatic skills for performances. It was something that Bei Feng had found on a cliff inscription while relying on the System.

　　The only thing was that cultivating this Eight Steps Chasing Cicada skill was extremely hard. If one’s body wasn’t strong enough, it was difficult to even get an initial grasp on the technique. Bei Feng himself had been training in this technique for over a year, but he only had an initial grasp on it so far!

　　This martial technique was considered a movement technique and a combat technique at the same time. Every step one took outwards would increase their strength by one fold!

　　Completing all eight steps was reckoned the same as reaching the heavens! At the same time, every step would put a huge burden on the body. And, this technique used the body’s primary attributes as the base, which meant that the stronger the body, the stronger the technique would be!

　　Bei Feng took one step out and his speed instantly increased one fold, arriving beside the Demonic Beast in an instant!

　　“Hou?!”

　　The Demonic Beast’s fur stood up on its ends as it retreated furiously, not understanding how this human’s speed had increased so drastically.

　　“Second Step!”

　　Bei Feng’s blood and Qi rushed upwards, and his skin directly tore apart. Seeing the Demonic Beast trying to escape, he didn’t hold back and once again took another step out!

　　With this one step, a third of Bei Feng’s flesh and skin burst apart, revealing the cracking skeleton underneath!

　　A terrifying aura blasted out of his body, and his strength doubled once more. At this point, he could even feel the bottleneck towards the Transcendent realm’s battle power!

　　Bei Feng’s speed rose once more, as if he could teleport through space. The Demonic Beast that was a hundred meters away was completely terrified out of its mind when it felt the shocking aura behind it. In that moment, it did not hesitate to burn its blood essence and increase its speed further!

　　This human had too many trump cards, and was definitely not someone it could provoke! If it managed to get away and recuperate from its injuries, it decided that it would not disturb this human anymore.

　　The Demonic Beast’s eyes were filled with terror, and its body seemed to have morphed into the wind as it fled far away.

　　At this time, a spatial ripple appeared beside the Demonic Beast, and Bei Feng’s figure suddenly appeared before it. Bei Feng was coughing out large mouthfuls of blood and looked extremely haggard. However, a bright grin hung on his face as he looked at the three chi long Demonic Beast.
