Rooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr!
The Drakes roared in unison after seeing Tenku approaching them. Their voices echoed through the sky and made the air around the area tremble.
"I have to kill all those Drakes before the two girls recover their condition. I don't want them to see me use the Devourer Scythe." Tenku muttered as he saw dozens of Drakes charging toward him.
"Rotate!"
Tenku said in a low voice. Then the gears in the scythe rotated and changed the blade's position to be aligned with the shaft. The scythe changed shape into a naginata, but it wasn't over yet. The shaft shortened and turned the naginata into a great sword.
After his Phantasmal Object's form changed, Tenku compressed a large amount of genesis power into the blade and injected sword intent. Then he brandished it with both hands and swung it diagonally.
Sword of Demolition!
Tenku shot a monstrous aura blade at the Drake horde. The monsters suddenly stopped their footsteps after feeling the danger of the attack and wanted to avoid it. But they were too late as the aura blade shot out at a terrifying speed and arrived in front of the Drakes instantly.
Slash!
The gigantic aura blade cut through the trees and left extremely deep sword marks along its trajectory. Tenku's initial attack managed to kill half of the Drake horde and left the rest badly injured. That way, only eight of the eighteen monsters would still be able to fight.
Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The eight Drakes roared after sensing the danger from the person before them. They entered into a berserk state simultaneously and had their strength skyrocketing, on par with fifth-level monsters.
"Good! I'll get more genesis power if they go into a berserk state!" Tenku became excited when she saw the monster's strength increase drastically.
Tenku felt that he could raise his cultivation base to the great perfection of the Sky Origin or Golden Revolver realm to the Moon phase if he killed those eight monsters. For the Devourer Scythe, Tenku still needs a lot of genesis power. Even if he swallowed the monster cores of the Drakes, it was still far from enough.
At least Tenku would have to kill hundreds of fourth-level monsters to get that much genesis power. It would be impossible in his current situation unless he could attack seven to eight space collapses with a threat level of calamity or above.
The faster way is for him to kill dozens of fifth or sixth-level monsters, but he hesitates. He was confident he could win if he fought one on one against fifth or sixth-level monsters.
But if they crowd up, Tenku will be overwhelmed, and it's dangerous for him. He didn't want to take a big risk that would seriously injure or even kill him. Most importantly, monsters of that level were extremely hard to find. Because of that, Tenku didn't think about increasing the phase of the Devourer Scythe for now. He chose to focus on his cultivation base and Golden Revolver.
Tenku attacked a Drake closest to him. The monster had large wounds on its body from Tenku's initial attack.
Rooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr!
The other Drakes roared in warning when they saw Tenku moving towards one of them. Even though the monsters couldn't think properly after going into a berserk state, their instincts became more sensitive, and they could feel that Tenku was very strong and terrifying.
The Drake realized that Tenku was approaching at high speed. That monster opened its mouth wide and shot a huge fire at him. Not one but all of the remaining Drakes attacked simultaneously.
Booooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Unfortunately, their fireballs missed Tenku as the other party suddenly disappeared from the attack trajectory. The Drakes panicked when they lost their enemy and looked around to find him.
Tenku silently reappeared next to the Drake he had targeted and quickly transformed his Phantasmal Object into a scythe shape. He compressed the genesis power in his weapon and made the size of the blade several times larger.
Tenku jumped and slashed his scythe right at Drake's wound, and it sliced the monster in half horizontally.
"This way, only seven are left, but I don't have time to kill them one by one. I'm worried that the two girls will come out of the cave or the Realizers from the Chinese organization will come here. In that case, I'll have to exterminate them all at once in the next attack." Tenku said, and his figure suddenly disappeared. Right after he left, a huge tail fell at high speed and destroyed the place.
Boooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Tenku quickly left the place after noticing that one of the Drakes had attacked him suddenly. Then he smiled when he saw the monsters huddled close to each other. That situation will make it easier for Tenku to eliminate them all at once.
He changed his Phantasmal Object to a Golden Revolver and entered Assault Rifle mode. Then Tenku loaded the magazine with dozens of third-level monster cores and injected a large amount of genesis power until the weapon trembled. After stabilizing his Phantasmal Object, he aimed it at the Drake horde.
"Die." Tenku said coldly and pulled the trigger.
Tactical Rapid Fire!
Ratatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata!
Hundreds of bullets from monster cores and compressed genesis power shot out at lightning speed and rained down on the Drakes.
Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The Drakes roared in pain as Tenku's attacks easily penetrated the defenses of their tough scales. Some tried to run away, but Tenku didn't let it and bombarded the monsters until they died.
Tenku couldn't break through the Drakes' scales easily if he only used monster cores or the compression of Qi and genesis power. His attacks could destroy the monsters' defenses because he injected something similar to sword intent, and it was called Gun Intent.
Once Tenku understands a weapon to a certain point, he will gain the essence of it and be able to use it in battle. From the time he learned the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique until now, he had mastered the intent of the sword, spear, gun, and bow.
If sword intent feels sharp and can cut anything, then gun intent feels explosive and can penetrate all kinds of defenses. It was similar to a bow and arrow as well. The difference is the two weapons don't have explosive power like Gun Intent.
Therefore, the ammunition that Tenku uses, be it monster cores or bullets from the manifestation of his energy source, can penetrate any defense after he injects them with Gun intent. Of course, that could happen if the power levels of him and his opponent weren't that much different. In other words, that attack would be useless if Tenku was fighting seventh-level monsters.
Tenku stopped his attack and saw that the Drakes had died with dozens of holes in their bodies, leaving one alive. He pointed the gun at the monster's head and pulled the trigger.
Ratatatatata!
The Drake died and looked at him with resentment. Tenku pulled the trigger again and aimed it at the monster's eyeballs.
Ratatatata!
The monster's eyeballs exploded, and a little splash of blood hit Tenku.
"This is a bit longer than I expected. Luckily, the two girls still hadn't recovered their condition until now." Tenku sighed and checked his surroundings to ensure no one saw his battle with the Drakes.
After he was sure that there was no one in the area, he started to dig up the monster cores from the corpses of the Drakes. As Tenku felt that he still had a bit of time until the two girls finished recuperating, he skinned Drake's scales, cutting off the fangs, claws, and other precious parts of the monster.
Tenku can sell it for daily needs or use it to repair his combat gear if damaged. It would be very expensive if he had to buy materials from Kaziya.
He quickly harvested monster cores and valuable parts from Drakes because he was in a race against time. But when Tenku wanted to dismantle the last monster's corpse, his pupils contracted when he saw a giant claw suddenly appear.
"Shit!" Tenku cursed and quickly swung his scythe to block the attack.
Clank!
"Ugh! So heavy!" Tenku was blown away several meters by the impact of the clash. But after he planted his feet on the ground, he shivered as he sensed danger from behind. Tenku jumped aside at high speed, and another claw fell where he had been standing before.
Boooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
After that, Tenku created a foothold of compressed Qi in the air and used it to escape that place. Then he landed on one of the trees in the area and checked what monster had attacked him.
Tenku's face turned grave when he saw two giant wolves in black and white. The monsters that had attacked him were Fenrir, and they didn't look well with wounds all over their bodies. The two monsters came to that place because the battle between Tenku and the Drakes attracted them.
"That looks so dangerous. What are the Realizers of the organization doing? Why were the two Fenrirs able to come here? Moreover, the two of them were in a berserk state. At least their strength is on par with seventh-level monsters." Tenku said seriously, and cold sweat rolled down from his forehead. He felt unlucky to have to meet two Fenrirs in a berserk state.
The current phase of the Sky Devourer was Moon, and his cultivation base was at the late stage of the Sky Origin realm. If Tenku uses both powers simultaneously, his combat power will skyrocket and reach six and a half stars.
Tenku was confident that he could fight one on one against a sixth-level monster, and he might win. But since their initial appearance, the strength of the two Fenrirs had been close to the seventh level. To make matters worse, they were now in a berserk state. It was impossible for Tenku to beat that monster. More importantly, there were two of them. So fighting the two Fenrirs would be suicidal to him.
"Why were the two monsters attracted to this location out of all the places in Badaling National Forest Park? Then where did the Realizers and cultivators from the four major families go? I didn't see any of them chasing after the two Fenrirs." Tenku looked around and found no one in the area.
He had thought that the Realizers and cultivators from the four major families didn't know that the two monsters had fled to that place. While he was busy checking the surroundings, the two Fenrirs suddenly howled at him.
Arh-woooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
"This is bad! I can't fight here because doing so would put Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin in danger. I should leave this area and leave the protection of the two girls to that old man. I'm sure he's looking at me and laughing at my situation right now." Tenku clicked her tongue and said in annoyance. He used the compressed Qi as his foothold to dash through the air and leave that place.
Arh-woooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
The two Fenrirs howled as they watched their enemy flee. Then a whirlwind enveloped the monsters' feet, and they shot at terrifying speed to catch up to Tenku.
