Chen Yu and the others trembled as they heard the slender young woman’s scream. They truly felt the difficulty of this mission, which greatly exceeded their expectations.

The slender young woman, as well as Feng De, possessed top-notch abilities. When applied to the Body Tempering stage, these two could kill tigers and leopards effortlessly. However, with these, it was hard to ward off a thick, rough-skinned Metal Brown Bear, who possessed extraordinary strength and could be classified in the rankings of ferocious beasts.

One could see that the slender young woman was about to fall into the bear’s mouth.

She was out-of-balance in midair and did not have the energy to dodge anymore.

Shua!

In the moment of life or death, a graceful figure leapt up. With an incredible trajectory, it showed up in-between the Metal Brown Bear and the slender young woman.

What terrific body motion!

Chen Yu watched this scene through his peripheral vision and could not help but gasp in surprise.

The person attacking was of course, Le Feng. He was revealing his skills and he had practised a medium-leveled movement-based martial art to say the least.

Pop!

With his body in midair, Le Feng gently patted the slender young woman’s shoulder with one hand.

With this mere force, the slender young woman regained her balance in the mid-air and glided two feet away in a lateral direction.

A distance of two feet was enough to change her fate.

Hu!

The Metal Brown Bear tore at her with its teeth, but it pounced on nothing with inches to spare.

“Brother Le Feng…”

The slender young woman had escaped from such a dangerous place. Her eyes were full of gratitude as her cheeks were flushed. She only found the Le Feng before her eyes similar to a Prince Charming, who descended from the sky.

Yet Le Feng’s movements in midair were not finished.

“Evil creature!”

Le Feng had an inwardly angry expression. Although in midair, he ruthlessly kicked the Metal Brown Bear’s face.

His kick had a terrifying Inner Breath mixed with it, and an energy with a shocking valor.

With a ‘peng’ sound, the Metal Brown Bear’s body fell back in shock. Blood flew out from its face as it issued a mournful wail.

Not only this, it wailed as it covered one of its eyes with a paw as though it was in incredible pain.

“That kick actually struck the Metal Brown Bear’s eye.”

At the side, the pockmarked youngster and slender young woman were gobsmacked, before being delighted shortly after.

Everyone at the scene could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Le Feng proved himself.

In a crisis when life was on the line, his one move had turned the situation around. Furthermore, his kick had inflicted serious damage to the Metal Brown Bear.

“You two deal with the rear and the sides and attack the Metal Brown Bear’s lower body. Adapt to its offensive techniques first, don’t fight recklessly.”

Le Feng instructed.

Yes!

The pockmarked youngster and the slender young woman agreed to do so in an instant. In particular, the latter deeply admired Le Feng.

Le Feng’s tactic was indeed quite good.

After suffering serious damage, the Metal Brown Bear’s vision grew fuzzy. The two people controlled the sides, attacking its lower body which greatly impacted the Metal Brown Bear’s agility.

In addition, Le Feng acted as the main force, kicking and punching to the extreme. He beat the Metal Brown Bear until it was badly bruised, making its injuries grow worse.

With such circumstances, it was only a matter of time for Le Feng’s team to kill the Metal Brown Bear.

But on Ding Jiuhui’s side, things weren’t going so smoothly.

This was mainly because on his first face-to-face with the Metal Brown Bear, it had slapped Feng De so hard that he flew out and spat out blood. Even up till now, he still had not recuperated.

In the distance, Feng De was sitting cross-legged while regulating his breathing. He had consumed several healing medicines.

For a short while, Feng De wouldn’t be able to go and fight.

Therefore, only Chen Yu and Ding Jiuhui were dealing with this Metal Brown Bear.

The two did not dare face the Metal Brown Bear recklessly. They only wandered around its side, finding the opportunity to give it a couple shots.

What surprised Ding Jiuhui was that Chen Yu could calmly contend against the Metal Brown Bear, providing a particular curbing effect at the same time. At least, he was not proving to be a burden.

“Willow Yin Finger!”

After some time, Ding Jiuhui finally found an opportunity. His body leapt up and pointed at the Metal Brown Bear’s temple.

He had no choice. The size of the Metal Brown Bear was too big and he must jump into the air to attack its head’s vital point.

Pop!

His finger hit right in the middle!

The soft finger forcefully pierced through its vitals and immediately, the Metal Brown Bear issued a dismal howl. It staggered unsteadily on the spot.

The Metal Brown Bear was struck in the temple as a bloody hole smaller than half an inch formed.

Unfortunately, the Metal Brown Bear’s skin was just too thick. Since it was classified as a ferocious beast, it had a certain resistance against Inner Breath attacks.

Although this attack caused quite a bit of damage, it wasn’t deadly to the bear.

Hou!

The Metal Brown Bear became somewhat dizzy and spun around on the spot. It waved its paws disorderly, making a ‘hu hu’ noise.

Midair, Ding Jiuhui looked regretful as he was forced to slam into the Metal Brown Bear.

Smack!

Ding Jiuhui tumbled onto the ground from the massive force.

At this moment, a shift occurred.

Hou!

All of a sudden, the Metal Brown Bear became clear-headed, revealing an ominous glint in its eyes. With its large body, it pounced towards the fallen Ding Jiuhui.

“Oh no!”

Ding Jiuhui did his best to roll around on the ground and evade it. He was momentarily surrounded by peril, mainly due to his brief carelessness. He had underestimated the Metal Brown Bear’s defenses, where it could quickly recover from the dizziness.

If he was suppressed onto the ground by the Metal Brown Bear into combat, then the consequences would be inconceivable.

“Quick!”

Ding Jiuhui rolled over and urgently called out to Chen Yu.

At this moment, Chen Yu only needed to attract the Metal Brown Bear’s attention to resolve Ding Jiuhui’s crisis.

The crucial point depended on Chen Yu!

On the other side, Le Feng was also closely following this situation.

In such an urgent and important manner, Chen Yu did not cower.

“Take my fist!”

Chen Yu’s body jumped up like a spring. Although he didn’t have Le Feng’s graceful techniques, he won on speed and initiative.

In a blink of an eye, Chen Yu jumped up into the air until his shoulder was on the same level as the Metal Brown Bear’s head.

Bang!

A heavy fist smacked the Metal Brown Bear’s face, like exploding stones.

Ka-cha!

Immediately soon after, blood splattered across the Metal Brown Bear’s face as its big nose was almost beaten flat.

“What a powerful punch!”

The eyes of those on the scene lit up.

“This should be a fighting technique he has almost perfected. What’s more surprising is its terrifying power.”

Le Feng praised him from a distance.

Such a heavy blow to the face made the Metal Brow Bear cry out in wrath and agony as it staggered on the spot.

“Good!”

Taking this opportunity, Ding Jiuhui did a carp-like somersault, breaking away from danger.

Happiness unveiled across his face, but he then discovered Chen Yu, whose body was still in midair, who had not broken out of the Metal Brown Bear’s attack range.

Oh no!

Ding Jiuhui and the distant Le Feng realized that the situation was not too encouraging.

With his body in midair, it was hard for Chen Yu to shift his body, unless he had a graceful figure like Le Feng.

The following scenario shocked everyone.

Chen Yu punched the back of the Metal Brown Bear’s face with no indication of pulling back.

Only Feng De, who was healing up at the back, noticed a detail: Chen Yu had used his ‘left hand’ for the punch just then.

One should know that apart from left-handers, people were usually stronger in their right hand.

“Metal Plows the Ground!”

Taking advantage of the Metal Brown Bear being dazed by the previous punch, Chen Yu lifted his right fist and gave a perfected punch.

Hu!

That punch looked like it was slow-moving and was heavy in weight, yet it produced a groundbreaking, smothering noise. It was as though metal and thunder were vaguely intertwining.

“A perfected fighting technique!”

Whether it was Ding Jiuhui before him or Le Feng far away, they were both startled.

Perfection!

Even though it was the perfection of a low-leveled martial art, it was no small matter. An ordinary person would need to endure almost ten years of bitter hardships to practice a low-leveled martial art to perfection.

Nonetheless, the [Metal Plow Fist] was a fighting technique that was easy to learn, but hard to master.

Bang bang!

The punch struck the Metal Brown Bear’s temple, and immediately after, there was a splitting sound.

It was as though Chen Yu could feel a surge of heat seeping from that punch. He was full of energy and continued hitting the Metal Brown Bear’s temple.

What was most brutal was this punch just so happened to strike the wound Ding Jiuhui inflicted earlier with his “Willow Yin Finger”.

The terrifying punch smashed the Metal Brown Bear’s head, which split open as its brains sprayed out.

There was an explosion sound.

Dust flew up everywhere as the Metal Brown Bear’s large body feebly fell to the ground.

On the field, they briefly sunk into a deathly stillness.

Even the other Metal Brown Bear showed an intertwining gaze of terror and aggression in its eyes.

“Good job.”

Ding Jiuhui was dazed, having no choice in his mind but to applaud him.

Before when he was in danger he had called out to Chen Yu, mostly in hopes that the other could help suppress the bear a bit. Of course, he absolutely did not expect Chen Yu to finish off the Metal Brown Bear with a spurt of energy.

“I’ve dissolved the qi.”

At the back, Feng De’s injury had stabilized. He slowly stood up and joined the fighting team.

They had dealt with one of the two Metal Brown Bears. With only one left, it would be easy to deal with.

Le Feng’s team of three didn’t need any assistance anyways as they beat the Metal Brown Bear till it had no strength to resist.

Unfortunately, the Metal Brown Bear wasn’t stupid, turning around to run away.

“Nearly there.”

Le Feng muttered as he suddenly opened a long-shaped package he had on his back.

Pow!

An ancient yet simple-looking precious sword launched from within the long-shaped package. There were decorations of fish on the sword’s scabbard.

With a twinkling noise, the sword’s scabbard produced a chilling radiance. The eeriness chilled their bones as it dissipated not long after.

Those present shivered ineffably.

Chen Yu could not help but stare at it. The ancient yet simple-looking sword was badly damaged but issued a terrifying glimmer. It was obviously not an ordinary weapon.

“The Life-Pursuing Sword.”

Le Feng’s complexion was cold. His body flashed past with the broken sword in hand and drew an indistinct ice-cold sword arc in the air.

Pu-chi!

The Metal Brown Bear, which had fled several feet away, became rigid as it was struck by the sword.

Drip drop! Drip drop!

Gurgling blood fell from its dense brown fur and soon after, there was a small pool of blood.

Le Feng’s sword had pierced through the Metal Brown Bear’s throat.

A fatal blow with one strike!

Everyone couldn’t help but feel fearful towards Le Feng’s tyrannical strength.

“Le Feng, you’ve finally showed your true talents. Then again, I didn’t expect you to actually possess such a precious item.”

Ding Jiuhui smiled faintly.

“It’s just a shoddy broken treasure, but it can easily handle normal ferocious beasts.”

Le Feng put away the precious sword.

But the others on the scene, including Chen Yu, the pockmarked youngster and Feng De, wore unsightly expressions.

“Le Feng, if you have such a sword, why did you hold back beforehand?”

The pockmarked youngster said, displeased.

Le Feng’s actions gave the slight idea that he was playing a joke with his teammates’ lives.

“Don’t misunderstand!”

Le Feng raised his hand slightly, talking calmly and slowly. “The fight just then was just a starter. I was planning to let you guys adapt to the Metal Brown Bear’s fighting method. After all, you somewhat lack combat experience and were so strained just taking out two Metal Brown Bears.”

Hearing this, Feng De and the slender young woman couldn’t refrain but feel a bit embarrassed.

Their performance when facing the Metal Brown Bear just then was indeed rather inferior. On one hand, the Metal Brown Bear’s strength was greater than expected. Secondly, they lacked combat experience and knowledge.

Regarding this point, Chen Yu was in complete agreement.

At first, while facing the Metal Brown Bear, he could just about save his life. Only after accustoming to the fight did he coordinate with Ding Jiuhui and slaughter the bear.

“If the fight just then was just a starter, then what’s the main course like?”

Chen Yu noticed something.

“I was going to mention this issue even if you hadn’t brought it up.”

Le Feng paused, then held out his arm. He pointed at the corpses of the two Metal Brown Bears on the ground. “Brother Ding and I will not take these Metal Brown Bear’s gall bladders and claws. We’ll yield them to you.”

What?!

Chen Yu and the others showed expressions of utter surprise.

Each Metal Brown Bear had one gall bladder and four claws. Judging from these two bears’ size, they could at least exchange them for two hundred contribution points, and that didn’t even include the Metastones.

Yet the leader Le Feng, as well as Ding Jiuhui didn’t want these?
