“Hmm?”

Lin Zheyu let out a soft hum, coldly gazing at the middle-aged man, a powerful aura suddenly rising from his body.

“Ah!”

The man let out a cry of alarm.

He was just an ordinary martial artist at the Bone Forging Realm, and facing the strong aura and presence emanating from Lin Zheyu, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

“Still want to check?”

Lin Zheyu spoke indifferently.

“No, no need.”

“You can leave now.”

Another man immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.

Even though they had the Juedi Sect behind them, martial artists with such powerful strength were not someone these small characters could afford to offend.

“Hmph!”

Lin Zheyu let out a light snort and slowly walked out of the city gate amidst the strange gazes of the crowd.

“You brat, I told you not to be greedy, but you never listen.”

“Luckily, that strong one just now didn’t have a bad temper, otherwise you’d be either dead or crippled.” The man kicked his companion who was sitting on the ground and scolded.

His heart still held some lingering fear.

The man cautiously lifted his head to glance at the adult sitting under the shed, seeing that the other party wasn’t paying attention here, he let out a slight sigh of relief.

There was a shed set up beside the city gate, and inside sat a burly man.

He was the strong one responsible for this city gate, exceptionally powerful, having reached the Qi Blood Four Transformations realm.

The man looked up at Lin Zheyu and, sensing the aura from him that was not inferior to his own, no longer paid any attention.

…

…

Once outside the city, Lin Zheyu lightly tapped the ground with his toes, his body technique agile.

He did not use the power of his Qi blood, for with Lin Zheyu’s current physical strength, his sheer physical power alone had a strength comparable to about eighty percent of someone at the Qi Blood Two Transformations level.

Entering the forest, Lin Zheyu took out a spotted beetle, and under its guidance, found the vicinity of Xiaohei.

Blowing a bamboo whistle, not long after, Xiaohei dashed out from the forest with a call.

Hiss—Chirp Chirp——

Xiaohei called excitedly, flipping several somersaults in mid-air.

“Don’t think about eating first, take me to hunt some beasts.”

Lin Zheyu patted the curious Xiaohei, teasing him.

This little guy, as soon as he came, eagerly stared at his bag, waving its claws wanting some roasted meat.

Chirp Chirp—Chirp Chirp——

Xiaohei chirped somewhat discontentedly, but under Lin Zheyu’s glare, it quickly dashed away.

Lin Zheyu followed behind Xiaohei at a leisurely pace.

Previously, he needed to exert full effort using his Qi blood force to keep up with Xiaohei’s speed.

Now, with enhanced physical strength, reaching a physical power comparable to about eighty percent of someone at the Qi Blood Two Transformations level, using less than sixty percent of his Qi blood force was sufficient to keep up with Xiaohei.

Hiss——

Upon entering a coniferous forest, Xiaohei let out a fierce roar, excitement overtaking its expression.

With such a long time of cooperation, the person and the beast were extremely in sync, when Lin Zheyu saw this, he knew that Xiaohei had found a target again.

He halted his steps, fully deploying the Turtle Breath Skill to lower his aura to the minimum.

Then he grasped the Golden Scale Blade in his hand, waiting for Xiaohei to lure the beast over.

Roar!

Soon enough, a booming roar echoed through the forest.

Xiaohei’s figure darted out from the forest, expression filled with excitement, quickly arriving beside Lin Zheyu, waving its claws.

“Is it another one you hold a grudge against?”

Lin Zheyu saw Xiaohei’s demeanor and knew this beast was once again an enemy to this little fellow.

As a native ferocious beast, Xiaohei’s combat power wasn’t exceptionally strong, but it was fast, with thick skin and excellent survival skills.

Even under the claws and teeth of an apex-level beast at the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, this little fellow managed to escape with its life.

Relying on its powerful survival skills, this little guy roamed around, provoking ferocious beasts everywhere, accumulating quite a few enemies.

But ever since it teamed up with Lin Zheyu, Xiaohei had been taking him all around, hunting those beasts that once offended it.

Now, aside from that overly powerful beast, most of the rest had been caught and sold by Lin Zheyu.

Roar!

Another roar erupted, and a beast over three meters tall, covered in black fur like a giant bear, charged out.

The beast’s aura was exceptionally strong, even stronger than the Qi Blood Five Transformations beasts Lin Zheyu had hunted before.

“Hey!”

Lin Zheyu’s lips curled into a slight smile, his right hand flicking, the Golden Scale Blade whistled as it planted into the ground.

His right foot stomped hard, his figure shot out like a cannonball.

This beast had thick hide, but not overly strong power, perfect for practice.

Bam!

A fist whizzed out, smashing against the beast’s thick arm, letting out a heavy thud.

Roar~~~

The beast let out a roar, a claw swinging toward Lin Zheyu’s head with an imposing force.

Lin Zheyu stepped back with his left foot, evading the fierce attack, then punched out with his right fist again.

He didn’t rely on the Golden Swan Skill to maneuver around the beast, against this level of strength, there was no need for the Golden Swan Skill.

This time, Lin Zheyu mainly aimed to hone his Wild Bull Fist, improving the proficiency in using his punch momentum.

Bam bam bam.

Dull thuds echoed, as the skirmish between man and beast became intensely fierce, the surrounding trees in the forest being affected, shattering into pieces.

One after another, large trees crashed down, emitting heavy booming sounds.

“Good!”

Lin Zheyu shouted spiritedly, his combat enthusiastic and thorough.

The aura around him surged, Lin Zheyu resembled a humanoid beast, his dominance and ferocity not losing to the beast in front of him at all.

Bam! Ugh!

The beast’s chest took a punch, letting out a faint groan, it clawed at Lin Zheyu’s right shoulder, pushing him back several steps.

“Not bad, the strength is indeed great, that claw did hurt me.”

Lin Zheyu patted his shoulder and charged forward again.
