" So, this is the Shackle hills, hmm" Wang Ming stared at the scenery in front of him in excitement
The forest was full of excessively tall and lush vegetation, with deep emerald green color flooding the entire region. Some trees were so towering that their crowns blotted in the sky.
The trees seemed to have grown for hundreds of years under the gracious blessing of mother earth. Their wood contained spiritual energy that could provide extreme benefits to the living beings within their vicinity, beneath the trees were various medicinal plants that could be used in alchemy to produce pills
The forest solely operated under the law of the strong, where the strong will dominate over the weak, one had to be vigilant at every moment, otherwise, death might come in an instant
" Yeah, every time I come here I am amazed by the rich resources the forest contains" Bai Lingxi said
ROOOOAR
Suddenly, a deafening roar entered Wang Ming's ears which disturbed him from his thoughts
Currently, a humongous red tiger stood on a branch of such one tree. Its body was covered with black stripes while its fangs were crystalline red
Some distance away, a large blue wolf was drinking water from a pond
The tiger leaped out from the branch while spitting out a stream of red-hot flames as it charged toward the wolf
The wolf sensing a hostile intent directed towards it leaped out of the way but the tiger easily slashed the wolf with one of its sharp claws which were covered in flames leaving a deep bloody wound on its side
The tiger was in the 9th stage of the Foundation Realm while the injured Wolf was only in the 3rd stage of the Foundation Realm
The tiger halted its step and stopped going after its prey as it directed its gaze toward Wang Ming and Bai Lingxi with murderous intent
ROOOARR
The beast threw back its head and roared loudly. The shockwaves made the monsters in the area experience a severe headache with their bodies stiffening up. Some of the beasts even had blood flowing down from their ears and nose.
"Wang Ming shit, it is in the 9th Stage of the Foundation Realm" Bai Lingxi said as she nervously clutched to Wang Ming's robe
Wang Ming did not pay attention to Bai Lingix's nervous voice as it seemed he did not hear her at all
For some strange reason, he felt his blood pumping faster and heat up really quick
His eyes turned blood red which made the tiger get rooted on the spot and its body was covered in a cold sweat
'Kill,,Kill,,,Kill,,,,,Fight....Fight... Fight' Wang Ming had his mind clouded with the thought to kill everything in front of him
[ Abnormalities have been detected in the host body]
Wang Ming unsheathed his sword and charged toward the tiger with eyes filled with killing intent
' Heavenly Sword Art- First Form- Flickering Strikes'
Wang Ming instantly disappeared from his spot and swung the sword at the tiger
With the swing of his sword, the head of the tiger was cleanly cleaved off from its neck, and blood gushed out like a fountain from the headless neck
Seeing the blood flowing, his killing intent swore even more, frightening Bai Lingxi behind him
" W-Wang Ming, what happened to you?" Bai Lingxi asked while stuttering as she thought she was staring at the abyss of death itself but he still remained unresponsive
Those blood-red eyes seemed to pierce through her soul making her look away from fear
[??????????]
[Attempting to awaken ????? ]
[ Attempt failed]
" Ugh" a grunt escaped Wang Ming's mouth as he clutched his head tightly while trying to fight the severe headache he was feeling at the moment, soon his blood-red eyes returned to normal and he looked beneath his foot
[ Sanity regained ]
" Huh, when did I do this" Wang Ming looked at the corpse of the tiger below him and was shocked to see that its head was cleaved from its neck and the ground beneath the corpse was soaked in blood
Memories of what he did started to resurface in his mind and he was shocked because he does not recall when he did or how he did this
" System, what the hell happened?" Wang Ming asked the system for a reply
[ System Message: It is would be wise for the user not to pry into this matter anymore as the user won't be able to do anything about it, the system would suggest user focuses his attention to increase his cultivation as quickly as he can]
Wang Ming kept staring at the system for a few moments and sighed as he decided to not ask any further questions even though he was curious to know what happened to him a few moments ago but decided to follow the system's advice as he knew he would not get any answers from it even if he asked
[ System message: Look's like the user is coming out of his shell and evolving into something other than being an idiot, children are growing up really fast]
Wang Ming's eyes twitched and his lips started quivering
' I really would have smacked it, if it had a physical form' Wang Ming thought in his mind
" Lingxi are you okay?" Wang Ming saw that Bai Lingxi's body was trembling and had a hunch why she was acting like this
Bai Lingxi looked at Wang Ming and saw that his eyes were not red anymore and had regained his normal demeanor
" W-what had gotten into you earlier, your eyes had turned red all of a sudden and were filled with killing intent which I never experienced in my life?" Bai Lingxi asked with a bit of fear in her voice
" Honestly, I have no idea, this happened for the first time in my life, it seemed like I was a different person and the blood flowing from the corpse made my blood boil in excitement and I wanted to fight and kill even more" Wang Ming said helplessly as he himself did not know what had gotten into him
" Hah, well, at least you are fine now" Bai Lingxi looked at him with a piercing gaze and seemed to find no traces of any lies in his words and spoke with a sigh
