System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 213 Ch 213: Kill

Because the Leader of Icicle-horned Leopard launched an attack from behind after taking advantage of Alex's moment of disturbance, it thought it had him.

However, the next instant, Alex turned around and used his Heavy Earth Sword as a shield just in time to block its merciless attack.

"Bang!"

Although its attack was blocked, the might of its attack was still terrifying. It sent Alex flying. He only stopped after colliding with a tree. He coughed out a mouthful of blood, and at the same time, the tree broke due to the powerful impact.

"F*ck! I should have been more alert!"

Alex stood up and wiped out the traces of blood from the corner of his mouth. Then he looked in the front, only to curse out loud again. "F*ck!"

At this moment, the Leader of Icicle-horned Leopard had already arrived in front of him, slashed at him again and again with its sharp claws, wanting to tear apart Alex.

"Fuck off!" Alex immediately erupted with a powerful aura as a burst of fire exploded out from his body, shooting straight for the Leader of Icicle-horned Leopard. Then he stabbed his sword into the front of the leopard's chest. The leader of the leopards tried to dodge Alex's attack by jumping away. It was faster than Alex, causing Alex to fail to injure the demonic beast grievously with this attack, but he still managed to create a wound on her forelimb.

"Roar!"

The Leader of Icicle-horned Leopard roared. Nobody knew whether it was because of pain or her hatred for Alex.

The two clashed again. The Leader of Icicle-horned Leopards was faster than Alex. His fighting strategy, however, was too difficult for the demonic beast to compete again. It wasn't able to land a single hit on Alex in the 60 exchanges they had made. Alex, on the other hand, had killed its minions while trading blows and also increased the number of wounds on its limbs by ten times. He was fighting a drawn-out battle intentionally.

Because of the injuries on its limbs, the Leader of Icicle-horned Leopards' speed slowed down a lot. Alex started to land more hits on its huge body.

Suddenly, Alex let go of his sword in the middle of the battle, astounding the Leader of Icicle-horned Leopard.

From the looks on its face, Alex was sure that this demonic beast must be thinking: 'What was he doing?'

After all, his actions surprised the Leader of Icicle-horned Leopards.

"Eat this punch!" Alex roared, suddenly shooting a heavy fist shot towards the Leader of Icicle-horned Leopards.

When Alex did this, the Leader of Icicle-horned Leopards' eyes no longer showed bewilderment. They only reflected certainty, as if saying: "I must be fighting a fool".

Ignoring Alex's punch, the Leader of Icicle-horned Leopards pounced ahead with its mouth opened wide, revealing razor-sharp fangs. Alex's fist didn't stand a chance against those sharp fangs. The demonic beast was sure that with her fangs, it would be able to rip off Alex's arm.

The Leader of Icicle-horned Leopards didn't get him good, unlike its expectations. The invisible aura gathered at the tip of his fist shot out like a shooting star. Before his fist even reached the demonic beast, a heavy force smashed on the beast's face. Not only was it hurled away like a ragdoll, but six of its large and sharp teeth also flew out of its mouth, filled with blood.

The Leader of Icicle-horned Leopards came to a stop only after smashing against a tree!

Alex jumped towards the Icicle-horned Leopard, bringing his sword down in a vertical slash. The tree was cut in half, but the Leader of Icicle-horned Leopards bounced back to safety.

It howled loudly and ran away. The remaining Icicle-horned Leopards also immediately scattered in different directions. This scene was ridiculous as hell. Normally, humans would run away after catching sight of a monster pack, but this time a monster pack was running away from a human.

Even if Alex wanted to hunt them all down, now it was impossible.

"Want to run away? Not on my watch!"

How could Alex give up on hunting the Leader of Icicle-horned Leopards? It was after all his ticket to step into Crystal Transformation Stage. If Alex wants to rely on Earth Spirit Pills, then he has to first leave this maze and buy the ingredients before refining those pills. Only then could he swallow the pill to make further improvements in his cultivation.

As for drinking Earthly Spirit Milk raw, it'll benefit him less compared to the Earthly Spirit Pill. If he really choose this option, then he would be wasting a lot of Earthly Spirit Milk.

Thus, in the current situation, the shortest path to raise his cultivation was to swallow his opponent's cultivation with the help of Devouring Flame.

Alex immediately took a horse stance and stretched his hand towards the Leader of Icicle-horned Leopards.

Immediately after that, an insane amount of Chaos Energy surged towards his open hand at ridiculous speed. The Chaos Energy gathering in a single spot was so much that it became visible. As the energy condensed, a blue orb the size of his fist came into being.

Alex flung it ahead.

"Whoosh!"

At a ridiculous speed, it whizzed through the air, landing on the Leader of Icicle-horned Leopards' back.

"BOOM!"

A resounding reverberation rang out as it exploded like a fucking nuke. The shockwaves of the explosion caused a mini-earthquake and uprooted the trees, blasting them away. Alex fell to his butt. But he quickly rolled to the side before trees landed on the spot where he was a moment ago.

He stood up, looking towards the center of the explosion.

There, he saw what the remains of the Leader of Icicle-horned Leopards should be. Even after such a horrifying explosion, its body only received burns all over its body but was not completely burned into ashes.

But fortunately, this demonic beast finally died.

Alex immediately used the Devouring Flame, but he didn't take what he needs from the Devouring Flame. Instead, he let the Devouring Flame keep all the essential energy it has devoured from Leader of Icicle-horned Leopard. It is because he had sensed a small cave, thus he planned to explore the cave first before trying to step into Crystal Transformation Stage.

The cave seemed to be the house of leopards. Alex immediately entered the cave and was surprised that this cave seemed to have its own independent space.

As far as his eyes could see, there were only grasses. They were the size of his shoulder.

Suddenly, Alex's hair stood on edge.

"Danger… It's rapidly approaching me!"

Alex's senses were telling him that he was being targeted, but he couldn't see if there was anyone close by as his vision was compromised by the overgrown grasses.

Rustling noises were heard. They were barely audible, but Alex heard them. He closed his eyes since they were useless for now and pushed his hearing senses to the limits.

The rustling noises were becoming clearer to him. He could sense that something was moving through the field, approaching him.

The grip he had on the hilt of his sword tightened, and his eyes snapped open. They were blazing with murderous intent.

Come what may, they will face the same fate!

Moments later, the grasses behind him parted ways and a green figure shot out.

"Swoosh!"

An arc of light flashed, and sharpness barreled through the air. A sharp icicle could be seen stabbing its way towards Alex's back. This attack was enough to reap a person's life.

Just as it was about to reach its mark, Alex turned around, putting the thick surface of his sword between him and the sharp end of the icicle.

"Clang!"

An unpleasant sound rang out along with the shattering of the icicle. But even so, the green figure's icicle forced Alex to retreat a few steps.

It was startled to see Alex coming out of its assassination unharmed. Before it could push down its troubling thoughts, Alex burst out with an overwhelming aura, causing it to stumble backward.

Right then, a furious wind swept forward.

Looking up, it saw a giant sword coming down.

And that was the last thing it saw before the sword's shadow engulfed it as if it was a devil that had opened its mouth to devour its soul!

"Swish!"

The next moment, it passed through its body, drawing a line that started from the top of its head and went all the way down.

The green figure stood still in its place as the line became brighter and brighter.

Along with that, the pain it was feeling increased in intensity until it could no longer feel a thing. When that happened, its body split apart from the middle. Two equal parts of the green figure's body fell to the ground.

Only then did Alex get the chance to see what the ambusher actually looked like. Alex was surprised to see that it was actually also an Icicle-horned Leopard, but it was different from other Icicle-horned Leopard.
