Chapter 254 - 112: Fourth Grade! Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect

Chapter 254: Chapter 112: Fourth Grade! Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect

The next moment.

Lin Yi’s figure abruptly vanished, leaving only a faint afterimage of electric light.

Boosted by his Thunder Light Intent, his speed reached its absolute limit. He moved like a phantom, teleporting to appear behind and to the side of the sabertooth tiger’s massive body!

His timing was perfect, down to the millisecond!

It was the exact moment the sabertooth tiger had exhausted its old momentum and had yet to generate new force—the instant its defenses were at their weakest!

"Die!"

Lin Yi’s gaze was as cold as a blade. The Star Spear in his hand transformed into a silver bolt of lightning that seemed to tear through space!

Fast! Precise! Ruthless!

With a piercing shriek that split the air, the spear’s tip struck four consecutive times with incredible precision, moving too fast for the naked eye to follow!

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Four sickening cracks of breaking bone rang out, almost simultaneously!

"AWOOOO!"

The sabertooth tiger let out a miserable, agonizing howl. Its colossal body collapsed as if all its supports had been kicked out from under it. With a thunderous crash, it slammed onto the gravelly bank of the stream, sending up a huge splash of water and dust.

The joints of its four limbs were bent at grotesque angles. Ghastly white bone fragments pierced through its fur, and blood gushed out, instantly dyeing the stream and gravel beneath it red.

It struggled and roared in agony, but with its limbs broken, it could no longer stand. It could only writhe its massive body in vain, a hint of fear appearing in its savage eyes for the first time.

Lin Yi stood with his spear, his breathing steady.

Of course, he wasn’t going to kill it directly.

His plan was perfectly clear.

He would personally use overwhelming force to completely cripple the powerful Fourth Grade Demon Beast, stripping it of its ability to resist. Then, the Mosquito Avatar would deliver the final, killing blow!

’This is the only way to maximize my Experience Points!’

The next moment.

At the very instant the sabertooth tiger completely lost its ability to fight back and could only howl in despair—

The Mosquito Avatar hovering above Lin Yi’s head made its move!

Its transparent wings vibrated at a high frequency, emitting a nearly inaudible hum as it instantly flew above the sabertooth tiger.

An invisible fluctuation of Demonic Power spread out, and the free-roaming Thunder Elements in the air frantically converged on its wings, which were as thin as a cicada’s!

BZZZT—CRACKLE!

Dazzling blue arcs of electricity leaped and condensed between its wings, emitting a scalp-numbing crackle.

In the blink of an eye.

Several spears of thunder, each as thick as a chopstick but containing a destructive aura, had already formed!

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

One after another, bolts of blue-white thunder, like the whips of heavenly punishment, tore through the air with blinding light and a merciless aura of destruction, accurately striking the immobilized sabertooth tiger below!

[Thunder-smite Proficiency +1!]

[Thunder-smite Proficiency +1!]

[Thunder-smite Proficiency +1!]

[...]

In Lin Yi’s mind, the system notifications rang out incessantly, like a dense drumroll.

’This is exactly the effect I wanted!’

’I’ll use this chance to level up the Mosquito Avatar quickly and, at the same time, grind a ton of proficiency for the new skill, [Thunder-smite].’

’Killing two birds with one stone!’

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The thunder continued to strike relentlessly.

Under the barrage of violent lightning, the sabertooth tiger’s tough hide quickly became charred and cracked, and a thick, scorched smell filled the air.

Mixed in with it was a hint of... roasted meat?

Its massive body convulsed violently amidst the flashing electricity.

Its agonized howls gradually grew fainter.

A moment later, as the final bolt of thunder descended, the sabertooth tiger’s huge body went completely still.

Its entire body was charred black and wisps of green smoke rose from it. The aroma of roasted meat in the air grew even stronger.

A magnificent Fourth Grade Demon Beast had been struck by lightning from a tiny Mosquito Avatar until it was literally a "whole roasted tiger"!

Immediately after.

An even denser barrage of system notifications exploded in Lin Yi’s mind:

[Ding! You have killed a Fourth Grade Demon Beast, the sabertooth tiger. Experience Points +10!]

[Ding! You have killed a Fourth Grade Demon Beast, the sabertooth tiger. Experience Points +10!]

[Ding! You have killed a Fourth Grade Demon Beast, the sabertooth tiger. Experience Points +10!]

[...]

[Ding! The Mosquito Avatar’s Experience Points are full. Level up to LV21!]

BZZZZ!

A surge of Demon Qi, far stronger and more condensed than before, erupted from the Mosquito Avatar’s tiny body!

Its body swelled by a visible degree, its carapace seemed to grow deeper in color and harder, and the light gleaming in its compound eyes grew sharper.

The fierce and savage aura of a Second Grade Demon Beast spread out unreservedly, instantly silencing many of the surrounding insects.

LV21!

The Second Grade Realm!

"It worked!"

A wave of ecstasy washed over Lin Yi, and a brilliant light flashed in his eyes.

’It’s just as I thought! Killing a higher-grade Demon Beast gives an insane amount of Experience Points, it’s like riding a rocket!’

Just by landing the final blow on a single Fourth Grade Demon Beast, the Mosquito Avatar had gained enough massive Experience to break through from LV20 to LV21!

This verified his hypothesis.

It also revealed a shortcut for him to rapidly increase the Mosquito Avatar’s strength!

Suppressing his excitement, Lin Yi turned his gaze to the massive, charred tiger corpse on the ground that was still emitting the aroma of cooked meat.

"What a waste..."

He couldn’t help but sigh under his breath.

’This is the corpse of a Fourth Grade Demon Beast, worth a fortune!’

’A complete tiger hide, Tiger Bones, tiger penis, tiger fangs... If I sold these, I could easily get a sky-high price of over a million!’

’That’s enough for an ordinary Martial Artist to live lavishly for a long time.’

Unfortunately, the internal space of his Space Ring was a pitiful two square meters, far too small to fit this five-meter-long behemoth.

’Let’s see if there’s any Demon Beast Exotic Gold!’

Lin Yi quickly cast aside his regret and deftly crouched down.

He swiped a finger across his Storage Ring, and a sharp short knife, glinting with a cold light and specifically designed for dismantling Demon Beasts, appeared in his hand.

SCHLICK! SCHLICK!

The blade precisely sliced through the charred tiger hide, avoiding the parts cooked by the lightning, and delved deep into the flesh and bone.
