Chapter 133 - 126: Astonishing Gains! Earth Pattern Fruit! Strengthens the Spleen Internally!

Jiang Shu’s gaze was full of cold intent. The Famished Tiger Roar Mountain Strength burst out from his spleen, and the surging vital blood, in that instant, was instantly transformed into power. The amplification landed on the alloy war blade. "Bang!" The Mountain Splitting Bear’s reaction was lightning fast. The moment Jiang Shu turned around, its pair of blood-red eyes locked onto him. One of its claws, as sharp as a weapon, blocked in front, directly parrying Jiang Shu’s turning slash. The other claw lashed out fiercely at Jiang Shu’s abdomen! Fierce Beasts, after all, were still animals. Grudges were engraved deep in their bones. Jiang Shu’s shot had struck its belly. Now it wanted to tear open Jiang Shu’s vital organs with one savage swipe! Little Beidou Step! Extreme Dodge! The Mountain Splitting Bear’s claw landed right into the massive tree next to Jiang Shu. A tree dozens of meters tall, wide enough for two to embrace, under a single swipe, sent leaves scattering and sawdust flying, its trunk snapped and fell to the ground! "Bang." Countless clouds of dust churned up. The Mountain Splitting Bear’s speed did not lessen. It glared viciously at the dodging Jiang Shu, roaring as it charged up again. White Tiger Carries the Corpse! A single strike once more blocked the Mountain Splitting Bear’s attack. The massive counter-shock force made Jiang Shu stagger back several dozen steps, the earth cracking under his feet. Only a few short exchanges. His clothes and shoes were already shredded, his soles pressed directly against the earth. The whole person looked like a beggar emerging from somewhere. "That beast..." In front of the five-meter-tall Mountain Splitting Bear, his one-point-eight-meter tall body appeared pitifully small and fragile. The human body, no matter how evolved, ultimately had its limits. This was why there were Martial Arts! Why there were Cultivation Techniques! Why there were weapons! Only by uniting all three could one truly defeat, or even instantly kill, a Mutant Beast of the same tier! Several Blood Strengthening Pills went down his throat in an instant. The force entered his organs. Some minor injuries were healed. Jiang Shu struck with his blade again! Only true combat could reveal how powerful a Tier Three Mutant Beast really was. Even though at this very moment, the Mountain Splitting Bear was already wounded, its immense power still made Jiang Shu’s vital organs ache intensely. *Especially in this oxygen-thin Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, he was even more unable to catch his breath.* *Even a Hua Jing Master felt like this.* *If it were just a Dark Force Martial Artist coming, wouldn’t the Mountain Splitting Bear’s casual strike be impossible to withstand?* He shifted his steps with swift evasions. The three forms of blade techniques, growing rapidly in mastery between life and death! The Famished Tiger Roar Mountain Strength, too, kept squeezing every last bit of his body’s potential. When his vital blood emptied, he just used Blood Strengthening Pills to replenish! Oxygen was thin. So he held his breath while slashing, and inhaled while dodging! *His own Martial Arts were, indeed, incomplete.* *His own Cultivation Technique was certainly a lowest-grade Middle Grade one!* *His own weapon barely sufficed to handle an average Tier Three Mutant Beast.* *But compared to the Mountain Splitting Bear, he still had intelligence!* *He still had combat skills!* The alloy war blade cleaved spark after spark off the Mountain Splitting Bear’s scale armor. The scale armor cracked. Blood seeped out from the sundered scales. The Mountain Splitting Bear’s roar grew all the more furious. Just then, Jiang Shu sprang back, his palm went numb, and a long bloody gash streaked his forearm from a claw swipe! The alloy war blade now had a small notch in it as well. *Too bad he simply did not have enough points.* *If only he had enough to buy a better alloy war blade and armor,* *this battle would not be nearly as bitter.* *But it’s about time to end this!* *He wasn’t feeling good.* *The Mountain Splitting Bear was in even worse shape!* The intense battle kept sapping away its vital blood. The wound in its belly kept tearing open with every move. Its claw swings had less and less power, slower and slower. But Jiang Shu’s blade only grew more ferocious! Black Tiger Heart-picking! White Tiger Carries the Corpse! Fierce Tiger Jumping! Each move struck right at the Mountain Splitting Bear’s weak points. At last, as though it could not stand the storm of attacks nor the pain in its belly, the Mountain Splitting Bear roared in rage and turned to flee. Four or five large trees crashed to the ground as it barreled through at full tilt. But, this time, it was already too late! Several Blood Strengthening Pills and a Small Recovery Pill were swallowed by Jiang Shu in one go. He healed his wounds. The alloy war blade in his hand struck again and again at the Mountain Splitting Bear’s head! "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Jiang Shu fought with tireless ferocity, growing more exhilarated with every strike! One horizontal slash! The Mountain Splitting Bear would never have expected that the blade which always hacked straight down would suddenly cut sideways, catching it unprepared. A savage blow landed on its neck! Blood sprayed everywhere! It spun and swiped with a claw. Its neck shrank back. It actually clamped the alloy war blade tightly in place! And facing that savage claw, Jiang Shu dropped to the ground. Breaking Stele Leg Technique! Swift as lightning! A direct kick battered the Mountain Splitting Bear’s already injured left leg! Jiang Shu’s arms brimmed with force. The Famished Tiger Roar Mountain Strength burst out as he roared, both hands locking around the Mountain Splitting Bear’s leg and, all at once, lifting it high! With all his might, he smashed it to the ground! "Boom!" With that counter smash, the alloy war blade dug even deeper into the bear’s neck. Jiang Shu did not care—he unleashed all power through his body! Hua Jing Master. One force equaled ten thousand pounds! Even if the Mountain Splitting Bear was a Tier Three Mutant Beast, it still only weighed a few tons at most! That was enough! He planted his feet in the ground, strength flowing endlessly from his spleen. At this moment, even the Mountain Splitting Bear, so formidable before a Hua Jing Master, was like a child’s toy. Jiang Shu wielded it with Small Stele Throw, swinging it furiously, smashing it again and again into the ground and giant trees around! The Mountain Splitting Bear desperately wanted to fight back. But its wounds only deepened. The alloy war blade stuck in its neck. The explosion of bullets in its belly. Even its eyes were pierced with tree splinters. It howled and whimpered miserably. The thin air was impossible to breathe. For several whole minutes! An enormous swath of jungle was forcibly turned into a clearing by Jiang Shu and the Mountain Splitting Bear’s battle! The Mountain Splitting Bear lay sprawled on the ground. Bits of scale armor scattered everywhere. Its breathing grew faint. Until it died. He drew out the alloy war blade. Jiang Shu grabbed the Mountain Splitting Bear by the leg and dragged it toward the valley. Within the Da Jing Dynasty, wherever there was a Tier Three Mutant Beast, there was bound to be a Tier Three Heaven and Earth Treasure Medicine! The Heaven and Earth Secret Realm was almost always the same! Because, Tier Three Mutant Beasts had a closeness to heaven and earth far beyond that of ordinary Mutant Beasts. They were always able to find the perfect habitat for Heaven and Earth Treasure Medicines to grow. "I hope those Tier Two Mutant Beasts behave themselves." He muttered quietly to himself. *This battle had nearly drained all his vital blood.* *His vital organs had suffered immense damage.* *But all of it was worth it!* *Just the flesh and blood of a single Mountain Splitting Bear was enough to help him recover, and go even further.* *Let alone the presence of a Tier Three Heaven and Earth Treasure Medicine!* *Perhaps the Mountain Splitting Bear’s might was simply too great.* By the time Jiang Shu reached the valley, those Tier Two Mutant Beasts were still crouched with heads low. The boldest of them couldn’t help raising their heads at the sound. *There was a flicker of suspicion, a surge of terror in their eyes.* And then, they scattered in all directions! Only after every Mutant Beast had vanished, did Jiang Shu block the cave entrance with the Mountain Splitting Bear’s body and head inside. A strong stench rushed to meet him. Yet the deeper he went, the stranger and purer the fragrance became. At last, in the very depths, a small tree, barely half a man’s height, grew within. Its slender branches stretched out, its leaves like jade, glistening one by one. Most wondrous of all, on the thickest branch at the tree’s far right, hung a single yellow fruit. Tier Three Heaven and Earth Treasure Medicine, Earth Pattern Fruit. It had never seen sunlight, yet it strengthened the spleen from within.
