The Eternal Heart

In front of the Bear Cave, Le Feng and Ding Jiuhui were confronting the Bear King, which had deep and unmeasurable strength, as well as a few scattered Metal Brown Bears.

The duo had incomparably grave expressions as their breathing hastened.

Le Feng had suffered a small loss in that brief confrontation just now from the Bear King's sound wave attack.

Thump!

Ding Jiuhui leaped up and reached the tree branch where Le Feng was as he stood next to him.

"Fortunately, Younger Martial Brother Le has a broken treasured weapon so you can at least scratch the Bear King. If not, I would turn on my heels right now!"

Ding Jiuhui calmed his mind down as he retrieved a small bottle from his bosom.

There was half a bottle's worth of purple liquid in that small bottle with traces of black bubbles emerging on the surface.

"This is?"

"Transformative Blood Poison! It's fifty Metastones for one small bottle. It's enough to deal with normal low-ranked vicious beasts."

A gloominess and coldness hung on the corner of Ding Jiuhui's lips.

Once he finished speaking, he carefully smeared half of the "Transformative Blood Poison" in the small bottle onto Le Feng's treasured broken sword.

Bang! Thump, crack!

At this moment, the Bear King below ferociously rammed into the tree a few times, which actually shook the large tree that the both of them had wrapped their arms around fiercely, causing a crack to appear on the tree trunk.

"What terrifying strength!"

Both of them trembled in body and mind as they both exchanged a glance.

Le Feng was daring, and his skill was above average. With his impressive light bodied martial arts skill, he dived towards the ground when he was high up in the air, hacking a lone Metal Brown Bear into two.

Chi!

The treasured sword that had the "Transformative Blood Poison" smeared on it grazed the back of the Metal Brown Bear's neck. The latter went stiff and fell to the ground within a few breaths, dying not long after.

"This poison is rather formidable."

Le Feng's eyes shone as his confidence in beheading the Bear King had increased a little.

The treasured broken sword plus the Transformative Blood Poison almost doubled the destructive power of his attack!

"Now, as long as the other four don't hold us back, we should be able to complete this mission without a hitch," Ding Jiuhui whispered.

At the same moment, a few Metal Brown Bears were pursuing the others in the small team respectively, and it could even be said that it was an ordeal.

Even the slim young lady, who faced the least pressure, was trembling with fear when she was confronted with the pursuit of two Metal Brown Bears.

The Metal Brown Bear actually wasn't slow since it could firmly bite disciples below the Connective Meridian stage, to say the least. In addition to that, it had pretty impressive physical strength as well.

It was very difficult for the slim young lady to throw off the two Metal Brown Bears behind her with her speed.

But the most tragic one out of the four was still the young man with the pockmarked face!

Four Metal Brown Bears were tenaciously pursuing him with the intent to kill. If his legs were to stop moving for a little bit, it was possible for one of them to pounce on him.

Fortunately, his martial arts form was pretty good. His mind worked nimbly as he circled the four Metal Brown Bears with the help of various geographical environments.

"There's simply no way out at all! I should have known that it wouldn't be that easy for me to get those Contribution Points a long time ago."

The young man with the pockmarked face wanted to cry, but he had no tears to do so.

Once his physical strength could no longer support him any further, what awaited him was a nightmare.

...

If one were to speak about who found this task effortless among the four of them, it would naturally be Chen Yu.

Thump! Thump!

Chen Yu was like a leopard as he shuttled about in the forest. He was breathing calmly, unlike the others, who were terrified and had shortness of breath.

He even had to slow down deliberately after running across a certain distance as he was worried that the three Metal Brown Bears behind him would lose him.

After undergoing the transformation from that mysterious crystal, Chen Yu's strength and speed were far too superior from before.

That was especially the case with regard to his physical strength and healing abilities. He wasn't afraid even if he had to continue running for a few more hours.

Even if he had to drag it on, he could drag the three Metal Brown Bears to death as well.

"It's not a big problem stalling three Metal Brown Bears. Even if another three Metal Brown Bears come round, it will merely be a little more pressure on me."

Chen Yu couldn't help but contemplate it.

Now, what he was thinking about wasn't how he was going to stall the three Metal Brown Bears, but rather he was going one step further in thinking about how to kill them.

If Feng De and the other two knew about this, it was unknown what their thoughts about this would be.

Chen Yu was thinking this way, mainly because he had considered his own lack of experience in actual combat.

The only thing was that he was now confronting three Metal Brown Bears and not one. If he was confronting one, he was entirely sure of his success in killing it based on his previous performance.

Soon, Chen Yu had a stratagem.

The only method was to split apart!

He would divide and kill them!

Chen Yu shot a glance behind. Due to the fact that he was moving rapidly, the three Metal Brown Bears pursuing him from behind were in a comparatively relaxed formation as there was a distance between them.

"I've got it!"

Chen Yu suddenly recalled of a hill outside the forest.

Soon, Chen Yu led the three Metal Brown Bears out of the forest and arrived at a region where that hill was at.

The hill was about six meters high and had a radius of several dozens of meters. It just so happened to assume an irregular oval shape.

Next, Chen Yu dragged the three Metal Brown Bears around the oval hill and started wandering around.

The plan went very smoothly without a hitch.

As a low-ranked vicious beast, the Metal Brown Bear didn't have much intelligence. They soon felt somewhat dizzy with Chen Yu leading them around and were separated from one another.

"Good!"

Chen Yu was exultant in his mind.

For him to be able to accomplish things to this stage, he had reached at least half of his objective in killing the three Metal Brown Bears.

Ceng!

He leaped up and appeared behind a Metal Brown Bear.

"Metal Plow Fist!"

Chen Yu took a deep breath as a surge of vigorous qi and blood sprung up in his heart. The strength of his entire body condensed and exploded as a punch.

Whoosh! Crash!

It was as though a metal ball was vibrating and whistling when that punch rumbled out. The formidable power of the [Metal Plow Fist] at perfect maturity emerged without restraint.

But that wasn't all. Chen Yu was also genuinely exhibiting a punch at its zenith after his body had transformed!

In that instant, the hairs of the Metal Brown Bear that got attacked were standing on their ends.

Puff, bang!

Bloody flowers immediately splashed from the back of the Metal Brown bear's head. Its body swayed and soon after, everything before its eyes turned dark.

Chen Yu could beat the Metal Brown Bear up until it was half dead with a mere punch and cause it to lose its ability to rebel.

"Die!"

Under Chen Yu's second punch, that Metal Brown Bear's corpse fell to the ground with a loud bang.

If the remaining members in the small team were on the scene at this moment, they would definitely be incomparably shocked.

That was because Chen Yu single-handedly killed a Metal Brown Bear explosively after meeting it face-to-face once or twice.

Even Ding Jiuhui at the initial Connective Meridian stage couldn't do this. Even though Le Feng could kill a Metal Brown Bear in a second with a single hack of his sword, he was relying on the sharpness of the treasured weapon.

After he dealt with this Metal Brown Bear, there was no further pressure for him to deal with the remaining two.

Chen Yu killed the two remaining Metal Brown Bears in two to three punches.

"It seems like I really can stimulate my combat strength through actual combat experience."

Chen Yu could not help but feel a little accomplished.

He thought back to when he had just started facing the Metal Brown Bear. He really had been somewhat trembling with fear as he couldn't even bring out sixty percent of his full strength.

But now, he could practically kill any Metal Brown Bear sadistically.

"Let's go back and take a look."

Chen Yu still had very adequate physical strength. After killing a few Metal Brown Bears in a row, he was somewhat addicted to it.

Chen Yu heard a call for help just as he got close to the forest.

"Save me!"

A voice that was gasping for breath could be heard coming from the side. It belonged to that young man with the pockmarked face.

At this moment, four Metal Brown Bears were pursuing the young man with the pockmarked face. He was battered and exhausted. It could even be said that he was walking on a tightrope over an overhanging cliff.

"With this boy attracting their attention, I can kill even more Metal Brown Bears. When the time comes, there will be more profits to be allocated as well."

Chen Yu made up his mind.

Thunk!

He chased over from behind without the slightest bit of hesitation.

And so, a strange scene appeared.

The four Metal Brown Bears were chasing after the young man with the pockmarked face to the point where he was pooping and peeing his pants. On the other hand, there was a murderous-looking young man behind who was quickly running towards the Metal Brown Bears from behind.

A few breaths later.

Rumble!

Chen Yu killed the first Metal Brown Bear from behind.

Immediately after that, Chen Yu successfully "deflowered" the second and third Metal Brown Bears one after the other from behind.

Maybe Chen Yu's fiendish grandeur frightened and terrified the fourth Metal Brown Bear, because it actually turned around and ran.

"You…"

The young man with the pockmarked face stared at the murderous-looking Chen Yu, who was covered in blood from head to toe as though he wasn't a human. In reality, that blood wasn't his own blood.

In the end, the Metal Brown Bear that fled couldn't escape from Chen Yu's violent attack up its butt. It fell to the ground with a loud bang amidst a few mournful, blood-curdling screeches.

The young man with the pockmarked face had a look of shock on his face and became dumbstruck from what he was seeing.

"Let's go. Let's go in and take a look."

Neither was Chen Yu's face red nor was his heart pounding as he continued on into the depths of the forest.

He really wanted to experience that great battle with the Bear King for himself.

"Elder Brother, I can't run anymore…"

The young man with the pockmarked face scowled miserably and fell weakly to the ground with a thump.

He was about to collapse from exhaustion after being chased by four Metal Brown Bears for half a day.

On the other hand, Chen Yu still looked calm and composed. He entered the forest neither slowly nor swiftly.

Along the way, Chen Yu encountered that slim young lady again. Even though the latter was only confronting the two Metal Brown Bears, that was enough to choke her up as she looked like she was drenched in fragrant sweat.

"Martial Brother Chen, help me out!"

The slim young lady was immediately happy.

Without saying another word, Chen Yu attacked the two Metal Brown Bears from behind with an apathetic look on his face.

He had already gotten used to attacking from the back when fighting with the Metal Brown Bears.

The slim young lady was naturally astonished by Chen Yu's terrifying strength, but there was more or less an odd look in his eyes.

"Martial Brother Chen Yu, let's go and help Big Brother Le Feng, alright?" pleaded the slim young lady in a soft voice.

"Help? You?"

Chen Yu cast a glance at the young lady gasping for breath from the corner of his eyes. He reckoned her small arms and legs couldn't plug the gaps between the Bear King's teeth.

"Based on our agreement, we don't need to deal with the Bear King. Hmm, but we can still help clean up the battlefield."

Chen Yu nodded.

The slim young lady let out a low, discontented snort as she followed Chen Yu in approaching the Bear Cave.

Roar! Oh!

The duo heard an oppressive and frightening roar when they had gotten close to the Bear King's battlefield. Their eardrums quivered while their qi and blood churned.

That slim young lady almost couldn't stand in a steady manner.

"Huh? This seems to be a sound wave attack."

Chen Yu was alright when compared to the slim young lady. His physical constitution could no longer be compared to ordinary humans.

When she heard this, the slim young lady regulated her qi and blood breathing while she simultaneously covered her ears. She was only at the Body Tempering stage and couldn't seal her ears with Inner Breath like Le Feng and Ding Jiuhui.

The duo clearly saw the situation on the battlefield when they drew near the Bear Cave.

There were seven or eight Metal Brown Bear corpses near the Bear Cave. Poisonous blood that was purple and black in color was even flowing out of a few corpses.

On the other hand, Le Feng and Ding Jiuhui were breathing roughly and had a few scars on their bodies.

The condition of Ding Jiuhui's injuries was more serious. He was almost half-kneeling on the ground.

On the other hand, Le Feng held the treasured broken sword in his hands, staggering as he was currently in the middle of a battle with the Bear King.

There were many wounds on the Bear King's body, which had purplish-black pus and blood flowing out of them. However, there wasn't a decrease in the might of the waving bear claw, as well as its roars.

"Chen Yu, you came just in time!"

Le Feng had a look of joy on his face when he saw the both of them, especially when he saw Chen Yu.

As for that slim young lady, Le Feng ignored her even though she had a tender and worried look on her face.

"What? Younger Martial Brother Le doesn't intend to behead the bear in a spurt of energy?"

Chen Yu was standing to one side and had no intention of making a move.

The Bear King's strength surpassed that of ordinary Metal Brown Bears. That was especially the case during the final moments in a fight where a destitute beast would take a person's life at any time in their counterattack.

Furthermore, based on their previous agreement, he didn't need to partake in this battle.

Le Feng had an abstruse expression, but he didn't know how to retort. After all, both parties already had an agreement prior to this matter.

"Younger Martial Chen, Younger Martial Brother Le and I are injured, and we don't have the physical strength to support ourselves. You only need to help us put off the Bear King for a moment while we recover. Beheading the Bear King after that will definitely be a cinch," Ding Jiuhui said in a very polite manner as he squeezed out a smile on his face.
