Everyone closed their eyes in fear, unable to bear to see the cruel scene.
At the critical moment, Lu Xiao sheathed his tachi and used Gusty Steps to stand in front of the blind old man.
CLUNK!
He activated the Saber Drawing Slash and blocked the Ghost Fox's attack with the sharp and firm Tai Sword.
Now that he had cultivated, his Saber Drawing Slash had already reached Level 1.
However, it was indeed an A-rank cultivation technique. Even so, it could still push Ghost Fox back a few meters.
To the others, the Ghost Fox was like the God of Death.
In Lu Xiao's eyes, it was the perfect opportunity for actual combat and walking Simplification Points.
Now, the Simplification Points given by killing the mutated chickens had been reduced to less than 2.
And a Level 2 dire beast would definitely give a lot of simplified points.
"ROAR!!!"
Seeing that it had failed, the Ghost Fox immediately roared.
Then, he rushed towards Lu Xiao at an extremely fast speed, his attacks far sharper than before.
CLUNK!
CLUNK!
CLUNK!
The claws kept colliding with the tachi, producing a loud and clear sound.
Lu Xiao had to use the Gusty Steps at all times to barely keep up with Ghost Fox's speed.
But it was still very strenuous.
Coupled with the Grand Heaven Devouring Technique, he continuously increased his Qi Blood and continuously used Saber Drawing Slash and Gusty Steps.
The two sides were evenly matched.
"Lu Xiao is crazy! He actually dares to fight a Level 2 dire beast!"
"Where's the teacher? Why isn't he here yet!"
"Lu Xiao seems to be able to handle this."
"What's there to handle? This isn't a sparring robot that holds back. This is really a Level 2 dire beast. It'll kill us!"
"That's right. I heard that ordinary Martial Artists don't dare to deal with level-two dire beasts easily. How can a student defeat them?"
"Who's going to help Lu Xiao?"
"Who would dare? I don't have the courage to help."
"A bunch of cowards!"
Everyone watched the intense battle and discussed it with lingering fear.
Not everyone dared to face a Level 2 dire beast.
Especially since they were just students.
They had not even faced a real battlefield yet. Killing a mutated chicken was already a good first attempt.
"Shua!"
At this moment, Lu Xiao suddenly seized an opportunity and used Gusty Steps and Saber Drawing Slash.
He slashed the Yin Yang Ghost Fox's back, leaving a wound of more than ten centimeters.
Blood flew.
The injured Ghost Fox wagged its tail and became even crazier. Its Qi Blood also soared.
Lu Xiao's expression was rather serious.
The Ghost Fox, who had fallen into madness, had completely given up on its defensive stance. If it was hit by an attack, it would either suffer physical pain or die!
Under the crazy attacks, Lu Xiao continued to dodge with the Gusty Steps.
A dozen exchanges later.
Finally, he caught a gap again and landed a fatal blow.
"Pfft!"
The tachi's thin and sharp edge sank into Ghost Fox's neck, and a large amount of blood spewed out.
Even if the Ghost Fox did not die on the spot, he had completely lost his ability to move.
"Hoo… hoo…"
Lu Xiao was sweating profusely and breathing greedily.
Ding! First time killing a Level 2 dire beast, Yin Yang Ghost Fox. Reward: 70 Simplified Points
Only when the system notification sounded did he finally put down his combat stance.
This battle was not easy for him.
If he hadn't learned the Saber Drawing Slash and coupled with the dodging with the Wind Steps, there was probably no way to deal with the Yin Yang Ghost Fox.
At this moment, the students hiding in the distance were completely shocked.
"Lu Xiao… really killed a Level 2 dire beast…"
"Hiss, this guy is going against the heavens!"
"I'm glad he's okay. I was just panicking."
"That's a Level 2 dire beast. We… No, Lu Xiao really dares to attack if something happens!!!"
"I hereby announce that Lu Xiao will be my idol from now on!"
"Don't call him by his name, call him Brother Lu!"
No one would have thought that Lu Xiao, who was also a student like them, could already fight against a Level 2 dire beast. More importantly, he had won!
Originally, many students had already closed their eyes and could not bear to see their classmate die tragically.
However, the results were unexpected.
At this moment, Lu Xiao's image in everyone's hearts had completely changed from jealousy to admiration.
At this moment, the blind old man who had been saved walked up to Lu Xiao.
"Your technique and combo… are too weak."
The other students: ???
He was clearly saved by Lu Xiao, but not only did he not thank him, but he even dared to spout nonsense and cause trouble.
"This old man really deserves a beating!"
"That's right. He even mocked us previously. I think Lu Xiao is being too nice."
"Old man! Do you know how to speak? Is it so difficult to say thank you?!"
"Damn, I can't wait to beat this old man up!"
"It's just that Brother Lu has a good temper. If I were him, I would have taught him a lesson!"
"That's right!"
"Brother Lu, don't waste your breath on him. I think this guy is senile!"
"Old man, be polite!"
"Don't think you can bully us just because we're students!"
Everyone spoke up for Lu Xiao.
After all, he was the blind old man's savior.
In the end, not only was the old man not grateful, but he also belittled Lu Xiao.
No one had that good temper.
However, Lu Xiao was interested and asked, "Senior, what do you have to enlighten me?"
It could be considered his first actual combat experience.
The first time was certainly imperfect, especially where opportunities should've been seized.
There were several times.
He could have attacked and ended the battle faster.
Lu Xiao hesitated, causing him to miss the good opportunities.
He was well aware of that.
Lu Xiao had already noticed the blind old man in the slaughterhouse.
He was blind, but he walked without being restrained.
He moved without external help.
If he was simply relying on familiarity with the environment, how could he have accurately bypassed the students?
The students were not all standing stones.
Coupled with the calmness when he was attacked by the Yin Yang Ghost Fox, Lu Xiao realized that things were not that simple.
As expected, the blind old man shook his head.
"I wouldn't call it enlightenment. I just came to give you a piece of advice."
"This cultivation technique of yours is Saber Drawing Slash, right?"
"…"
Lu Xiao fell silent.
As expected, his guess was right. He was clearly blind, but he could see everything!
He was definitely not just an ordinary employee at the slaughterhouse.
"That's something. Unfortunately, not much."
"The Yin Yang Ghost Foxes are twin ferocious beasts. You only killed a weaker Yin Fox."
"Feeling the death of the Yin Fox, the stronger Yang Fox is probably on its way."
"According to your way of fighting, you can get the others to prepare your corpse in advance."
"Please enlighten me, Senior."
Lu Xiao nodded, appearing humble and polite.
This battle was indeed very difficult for him.
There was no time for joy.
As it turned out, there was a stronger Yang Fox.
If the twin foxes attacked him at the same time, there was no way he could kill them both.
There was even a high chance that he would die on the spot!
