Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 628: Chapter 595: Reaching the Pinnacle 4

Tan Shuangshuang held the longsword in her hand, her face very grim as she looked at the Red Flame Wolf. Her eyes surged with boundless killing intent, but she was cautious and did not make a reckless move. The combat power of a Level 5 magical beast was only slightly lower than that of a Seventh Rank Martial Artist like Tan Shuangshuang.

The cultivation levels of humans are Martial Arts Apprentice, Martial Artist, Samurai, Martial Master, and Great Martial Artist. Each great realm is divided into nine small stages, while the levels of magical beasts are divided from one to fifteen. A Level 5 magical beast is equivalent to a Sixth Rank Martial Artist, just one small stage lower than Tan Shuangshuang.

Although the Red Flame Wolf was only one small stage lower in level, Tan Shuangshuang showed great caution, but she did not truly consider the Red Flame Wolf as a major foe in her heart.

Even if Tan Shuangshuang had wasted her strength over the years, she was still someone who had reached the level of a Martial Master! Moreover, her combat experience was very rich. It could be said that even opponents at the same level or higher were not her match.

Before her rebirth, the reason Tan Shuangshuang was killed by the Demon Clan as soon as she stepped onto the battlefield was that she was targeted by a Demon Clan member at the Great Martial Artist level leading a bunch of underlings, who overwhelmed her with their power, leading to her easy death.

The place where Tan Shuangshuang appeared was not supposed to have such powerful Demon Clan members. It could be said that her death was somewhat unjust. If Tan Shuangshuang was really a person who would die as soon as she set foot on the battlefield, how could she dare to recklessly ask to go to the battlefield?

Tan Shuangshuang wasn’t an idiot. No matter how much she liked someone, she wouldn’t disregard her own life. When she requested to go to the battlefield, she hadn’t thought about dying.

In fact, Tan Shuangshuang just wanted to help a bit on the relatively safe outskirts to be close to Liang Ziqian. She never thought of foolishly participating in battles she couldn’t involve herself in. Without her life, how could she stay by Liang Ziqian’s side?

At this moment, facing the Red Flame Wolf, which was one small stage lower in level than her, Tan Shuangshuang’s caution was more out of a habit of not underestimating her opponent and partly to guard against Wu Zhao’s people, preventing them from taking advantage of her involvement in the battle between Fei Hu and the Red Flame Wolf to launch a sneak attack.

Tan Shuangshuang’s concerns were not unfounded. As expected, seeing Tan Shuangshuang make a move, Wu Zhao’s eyes flashed with excitement and he was eager to act, but when he saw Tan Shuangshuang quickly separate from the Red Flame Wolf, he calmed down.

However, although Wu Zhao himself calmed down, he immediately opened his mouth to taunt, ”Tan Shuangshuang, don’t you understand the rules? You dared to involve yourself in the duel between magical beasts. Do you think your pet magical beast is a failure, unable to defeat my Red Flame Wolf!”

After Wu Zhao finished speaking, the Wu Family disciples beside him burst into laughter, and a Wu Family branch member flattered Wu Zhao, ”I didn’t expect the Tan Family’s proud daughter to be someone who doesn’t understand the rules. Her strength is there, but her character is worrying!”

The faces of the Tan Family people turned ugly, but since Tan Shuangshuang did indeed break the rules, they couldn’t counterattack and could only be angry in silence.

Tan Shuangshuang, however, let out a cold laugh, ignored Wu Zhao, and swung her longsword, casually executing the Thousand Layered Sword Technique at the Red Flame Wolf. Although the Red Flame Wolf had been keeping its body low and wary of Tan Shuangshuang’s attack, it still had a large swath of fur easily sheared off its forehead by her.

On the bare forehead of the Red Flame Wolf, three flame-red patterns, as though etched into its flesh, emerged clearly. These three flame-red patterns were the only way to distinguish a mutated Red Flame Wolf from a regular one.

After shearing the Red Flame Wolf’s forehead, Tan Shuangshuang did not relent but immediately followed up with a body maneuver, executing the Thousand Layered Sword Technique once more!

The hallmark of the Thousand Layered Sword Technique was the rapid succession of sword strikes, each strike layering on top of the previous one. The more layers added, the stronger the attack!

Earlier, when she shaved the fur off the Red Flame Wolf’s forehead, Tan Shuangshuang used seven layered strikes. This time, the Red Flame Wolf was prepared, so she didn’t succeed as easily as the first time. Tan Shuangshuang had to stack thirteen strikes in succession to finally slice open the skin over the Red Flame Wolf’s heart.

As soon as the second attack succeeded, Tan Shuangshuang stopped her assault. The Red Flame Wolf, frightened by Tan Shuangshuang’s continuous attacks, kept its body low, assuming a wary stance, whimpering threateningly, as though ready to attack at any moment, yet it didn’t dare to actually move against Tan Shuangshuang.

Tan Shuangshuang had achieved her purpose and didn’t plan to continue attacking the Red Flame Wolf. She hated Wu Zhao, but bore no ill will toward the Red Flame Wolf used as a tool by him.

After consuming the Blood Burst Pill, an elixir that damages its foundation, the future of this Red Flame Wolf was already destroyed by its owner, whom it trusted. Its fate was pitiful, and Tan Shuangshuang had no intention of further harming this pitiful Red Flame Wolf.

The Red Flame Wolf’s heart skin was sliced open by Tan Shuangshuang, and naturally, it would bleed. However, this blood had no bloody scent but rather emitted a rich, peculiar fragrance, unique to a spiritual medicine in the Blood Burst Pill.

The fragrance of this spiritual medicine was extremely distinct and persistently overpowering, difficult to eliminate. Even when refined into an elixir, it would linger, gathering at the heart of the magical beast that consumed the Blood Burst Pill as the blood flowed.

Tan Shuangshuang’s actions were so swift that the sneering Wu Zhao and Wu Family disciples didn’t have time to react before Tan Shuangshuang finished her moves.

Seeing the Red Flame Wolf lying on the ground with all its secrets exposed, Wu Zhao’s face was stuck in an exaggerated laugh, looking utterly ridiculous.

Tan Shuangshuang let out a cold laugh, pointed her sword tip at the Red Flame Wolf, provoking a tense, suppressed growl from it. With a slight raise of her brow, she looked darkly at Wu Zhao and said, ”A Third Level mutated Red Flame Wolf which also took the Blood Burst Pill; Level 5 combat power against Level 3. You’re well-prepared with malicious intent, plotting to kill the Tan Family’s potential high-level magical beast. Have you Wu Family thought about how to settle this today?”

The Blood Burst Pill isn’t a rare elixir. Children from big families are familiar with various elixirs from a young age and naturally know the characteristics of the Blood Burst Pill. As soon as they smelled this scent and saw the three flame-red patterns on the Red Flame Wolf’s forehead, they naturally knew that Tan Shuangshuang was telling the truth.

Immediately, faces from the Tan Family were filled with anger, and they furiously glared at the Wu Family members. Each of them placed their hands on the weapons they carried, indicating they were ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

The Wu Family members, feeling intimidated by the glaring of the Tan Family and knowing they were in the wrong, became somewhat weak and short of breath. Moreover, the combat power of the Tan Family was far superior. In a real fight, whether a brawl or a duel, the Wu Family would end up beaten.

While other Tan Family members managed to restrain their tempers, intending to see how Tan Shuangshuang would handle the situation, the hot-tempered Tan Feiyu couldn’t hold back any longer and already unsheathed his sword.
