C3 Thalline
Three days later, Gu Letian walked out of the center of the explosion.
There were even the skeletons of those experts from the Dazzling Spring Palace, who died before they could escape. They were the best among their generation, and were able to escape far away from the rest, but similarly, they could not escape death. However, their skeletons were preserved relatively well, so they could be considered lucky.
Gu Letian took off his clothes and put them on from a few bones. Then, he picked up a few weapons and continued on his way.
Finally, on the fifth day, when Gu Letian was on the verge of exhaustion, he walked out of the death trap and entered a dense forest.
"Sky Forest."
A message appeared in Gu Letian's mind.
Sky Forest was the home of the body's original owner.
At first, the owner of this body was also considered a genius in Heyang City, and was recommended to practice at Dazzling Spring Palace. However, after entering Dazzling Spring Palace, his talent could only be considered as bottom, being bullied everywhere, and only after being killed by others during an adventure, would Gu Letian have the chance to revive his body in this world.
The original owner of this body had always wanted to go home and see his old parents. Before it had even been realized, it had already died with regret. Since Gu Letian had inherited his body, it was time to fulfill his wish and honor his parents.
Furthermore, since he had nowhere to go, it would be a good choice to stop at Heyang City.
That night, Gu Letian rested in the Sky Forest for an entire night to recover his strength before he started to study the mysterious ancient scripture in his head.
Inside the cave, a bonfire was swaying.
"Huuu ~ ~ ~"
Gu Letian's Divine Sense fused into the mysterious ancient book.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
Suddenly, the Divine Sense arrived at a dazzling and mysterious river of stars.
The ancient book floated in the air. Flipping open the first page, there seemed to be something inside. Gu Letian used all his senses to feel it, but the effect was minimal.
Then he tried to read the book in a variety of ways, and failed.
"It seems that I need some sort of pushing power in order to sense the contents of the ancient book."
Gu Letian finally came to a conclusion, but he didn't know what exactly drove it.
Right now, the most important thing was to return to the Heyang City. The Gu Family had quite a bit of power within the Heyang City, to go back and become a young master, at least it would be better than the bitter diaosi of his previous life.
Just as he was about to rest, a cold wind blew past him. The bonfire in the cave shook violently for a while before it was extinguished with a "chi" sound.
Instantly, he couldn't even see his fingers in front of him.
At the same time, two deep blue lights appeared at the entrance of the cave. They looked like ghost flames, making it obvious what kind of fierce beast's eyes were on them.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
The next moment, those two blue lights shot out into the cave like lightning. In that instant, a cold murderous intent swept out, and the temperature inside the cave immediately dropped by a few degrees.
"Frigid Leopard?"
After his rebirth, Gu Letian's senses improved tremendously, and he could see clearly even in the dark.
The beast was a slender and muscular leopard. Most of its body was black, with only four paws and snowflake like spots on its body. Its body was filled with wild energy.
Frigid Leopard s were comparable to experts of the seventh stage of the Earthly Mortal Stage, and were extremely ferocious. Not only was its speed as quick as wind, it also had a spell of the ice attribute which was extremely difficult to deal with.
In the span of a breath, the Frigid Leopard had already pounced in front of Gu Letian. A sharp and cold aura spread out from its body layer by layer.
Gu Letian was only a step away from the fifth stage of the Earthly Mortal Stage. With the Frigid Leopard's aura locking onto him, he had no way out.
However, at this moment, the mysterious ancient book in Gu Letian's mind suddenly appeared the image of a Frigid Leopard. Gu Letian's pouncing movements were slowed down, and he instantly understood its trajectory, time, and posture.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
Gu Letian did not hesitate to stab with his sword. This was the weakness of the Frigid Leopard's pouncing attack.
The Frigid Leopard seemed to have crashed into Gu Letian's sword tip as it was the last to arrive.
"Aooouuu ~ ~ ~"
Frigid Leopard was worthy of being called a strong ferocious beast that could rival a seventh level Earthly Mortal Stage. With such a short distance, their body was still able to strangely twist, dodging a sword strike.
The next moment, it turned around and jumped away. It squatted on a limestone not far away and stared at Gu Letian like a tiger eyeing its prey. However, it did not immediately make its next move.
Gu Letian felt chills go down his spine as he was locked by such a gaze. He tightened his grip on his sword.
A biting cold mountain breeze blew into the cave.
The man and the leopard seemed to have turned into two statues as they faced each other without moving.
This reminded Gu Letian of back in the days when he was a sniper in the army.
The smell of blood pervaded the entire space, the Frigid Leopard's injuries prevented it from dragging on any further. There were even stronger enemies outside.
"Roar ~ ~ ~"
The Frigid Leopard released a hoarse and low roar from its throat. Its body turned into a streak of black lightning, charging towards Gu Letian at an indescribably fast speed.
Gu Letian's eyes flashed. The mysterious ancient book had already captured all of the movements of the Frigid Leopard. The Longsword swung out a circle of cold light, the sharp sword tip aiming straight at the location where the Frigid Leopard was injured.
"Aooouuu ~ ~ ~"
The Frigid Leopard suddenly roared, opened its mouth and spat out three cold light shooting out of the ice cones, releasing a sound that pierced through the void, and rushed towards Gu Letian.
Gu Letian did not expect the Frigid Leopard to have such a move. Being caught off guard, it was already too late for him to dodge.
"Damn it, let's go all out!"
Gu Letian did not retreat but instead advanced. If he really had to die, he would at least let this beast die with him.
"Roar ~ ~ ~"
The Frigid Leopard's mouth hooked into a cruel smile, this move was truly a hundred times more difficult to execute. It was unknown how many humans, prey and opponents stronger than itself had died under this sudden attack.
It could even see the human in front of it being pierced by the icicle because it had seen this scene too many times.
"Pu, pu, pu ~ ~ ~"
Three ice cones struck Gu Letian's body, but the result that the Frigid Leopard wanted did not appear.
The icicle seemed to have hit a bronze wall, instantly exploding into smithereens.
Gu Letian felt a trace of pain, as if he was stabbed by a few needles at the same time. It was too different from the pain he was prepared to receive.
"So weak?" Is it because it was injured? "
A trace of confusion flashed across Gu Letian's heart, and he was immediately overjoyed. Since the Frigid Leopard were unable to harm him, he could only allow himself to be slaughtered.
The Frigid Leopard's entire body was filled with treasures, and its blood essence could help strengthen the body. The magic core had an ice attribute and could be used to comprehend the profound mysteries, and even the teeth and claws could be used to grind weapons.
A flash of panic appeared in the Frigid Leopard's eyes. Although he was injured, it should have been easy for him to instantly kill a human with a cultivation at the fifth level of Earthly Mortal Stage. Right now, he couldn't even break through the opponent's defense.
However, it didn't have the time to think too much about it. If it couldn't kill its opponent, it could only run.
"Bang ~ ~ ~"
The claws and the Longsword collided. The Frigid Leopard blocked Gu Letian's attack and turned around in the air. At the same time, it swung its tail and swept towards Gu Letian like a whip, charging out of the cave.
