Cultivating Immortality Begins with Acting as a Girl Chapter 039

It was not an overnight process to improve one’s cultivation with the panel; it took time. Therefore, Song Ling had always adjusted himself to his best state before adding points in previous attempts.

However, the current situation clearly didn’t allow for a moment of hesitation.

A familiar warm current spread from his dantian throughout his body. His meridians and acupoints were rapidly cleared, and his muscles and bones were continuously strengthened. Because he also had to evade the attacks of the giant bear demon, his internal energy flow was not stable. However, with his full effort, he barely managed to keep it from going awry.

Song Ling was agile, leaping and dodging in the courtyard, each time narrowly avoiding the giant bear demon’s fierce attacks.

A moment later, the giant bear demon seemed to grow impatient. It let out an earth-shattering roar that caused Song Ling’s body to stiffen for a moment. Then, it raised its paws high and slammed them down towards Song Ling!

Just at this critical moment, the surging internal energy within Song Ling finally reached its critical point.

Buzz!

At a certain instant, Song Ling felt his vision become incredibly clear. The sound of the wind and the giant bear’s roar in his ears seemed to slow down. He perceived every subtle change in the surrounding environment, even clearly seeing the vibration of the giant bear demon’s muscle fibers as it attacked.

Crimson Lotus Sword Art, perfected!

First-class realm, achieved!

With surging internal energy flowing through his body, Song Ling’s eyes flashed, and he directly rushed out from between the giant bear demon’s clapping paws.

His figure drew a graceful arc in the air, like a bird soaring across the sky. The longsword in his hand reflected the cold moonlight, carrying a chilling killing intent as he charged towards the giant bear.

Graceful Moon Cleave!

The longsword traced a brilliant trajectory in the air. The tip of the sword condensed all its power and speed. The sword light was as brilliant as a full moon, yet it contracted in an instant, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, striking directly at the giant bear demon’s chest.

The giant bear demon’s massive body appeared somewhat clumsy in the face of this power. Although it reacted in time and tried to dodge by turning its body, Song Ling’s sword was too fast and at too tricky an angle. It could only watch helplessly as the sword light approached.

“Bang!”

The sword light collided with the scales on the giant bear demon’s chest, erupting in dazzling sparks. The scales were instantly cut open, and a fist-sized hole was gouged out of its chest. Blood gushed out, and the giant bear demon let out a painful roar, its massive body staggering backward.

Song Ling landed with the momentum, his stance as steady as a mountain, his longsword angled towards the ground, his eyes cold.

“You…”

A human-like look of astonishment appeared in the giant bear demon’s eyes. It couldn’t understand why this human, who had been so weak just moments ago, had become so much stronger in such a short time.

But Song Ling didn’t give it time to ponder the question. He surged forward again, his longsword pointing directly at the giant bear demon’s left leg.

The giant bear demon slammed its paw down, attempting to stop him, but Song Ling’s body moved like a ghost, weaving between its massive frame. The longsword danced, its light like weaving silk, each strike precisely landing on the weak points the giant bear demon tried to dodge.

Song Ling lunged forward, coming to the giant bear demon’s rear, then channeled internal energy into his feet, leaping high into the air!

“Crimson Lotus Nine Forms, Lotus Blossom!”

He let out a low shout, unleashing a sword move that could only be used when the Crimson Lotus Sword Art was perfected.

The longsword was like a blooming lotus, containing endless sharpness and killing intent. The air was cut, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

The giant bear demon twisted its massive body, its bear paws extending razor-sharp claws towards Song Ling. However, Song Ling’s sword light was like a net, impenetrable, each “lotus” containing enough power to penetrate metal and stone.

In the instant the giant bear demon clumsily turned, the lotus sword net had already enveloped its entire body. Sword tips and claw tips collided in the air, sparks flying, but Song Ling’s sword momentum did not diminish, instead becoming even more intense.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

After a series of metallic clashes, the giant bear demon’s sharp claws were actually cut off one by one!

The giant bear roared in pain, its crimson eyes becoming even redder. Its paws flailed wildly for a moment, forcing Song Ling to retreat temporarily to avoid the brunt of the attack.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The ground was shattered to pieces by the giant bear demon’s pounding. Once it was exhausted, Song Ling charged forward again.

The longsword collided with the giant bear demon’s scales and flesh, producing bursts of explosive sounds. The wounds on the giant bear demon’s body grew more numerous, blood dyeing its massive frame, and its roars became increasingly weak.

Song Ling’s figure moved like a shadow. His swordplay became faster and denser, each strike like a meteor streaking across the night sky, leaving behind brilliant sword marks.

Finally, after a fierce exchange, Song Ling seized a moment when the giant bear demon was gasping for breath, and with a flick of his longsword, he unleashed Graceful Moon Cleave again, aiming directly for the giant bear demon’s heart!

“Whoosh!”

The sword light was like lightning, streaking across the sky.

This sword strike condensed all of Song Ling’s current cultivation and will. The power of Graceful Moon Cleave was unleashed to its maximum at this moment.

Fear finally appeared in the giant bear demon’s crimson eyes. It felt the fatal threat of this sword, but its massive body and severe injuries already prevented it from making an effective dodge.

“Wait—”

It seemed to have something to say, but Song Ling’s expression was cold, and he had no intention of listening.

The commotion had already grown too loud, and people could arrive at any moment. He had to resolve this quickly. If he were to be surrounded by the people of the Eastveil Escort Agency, the trouble would be immense.

Song Ling didn’t think he was invincible just because he had broken through to the first-class realm.

Just as there was a vast difference in strength between second-class martial artists, the difference in strength between first-class martial artists was even greater. Because of the near-certain death rate when attempting to break through to the Grandmaster realm, many first-class experts preferred to stay put and continue cultivating their martial arts rather than attempt a breakthrough. In such circumstances, a first-class martial artist who had cultivated one martial art and one who had cultivated several would clearly have a world of difference in strength.

The deputy head of the Eastveil Escort Agency was such a strong individual who had been immersed in the first-class realm for decades. His cultivation was unfathomably deep.

Song Ling didn’t believe he could defeat him with his current strength.

Therefore, his sword momentum was decisive!

This astonishing sword strike did not stop for a moment, accurately and flawlessly piercing into the giant bear demon’s heart. This time, there were no sparks flying, only a gush of warm blood spraying out, staining Song Ling’s sword and clothes.

The giant bear demon’s massive body shuddered violently, then collapsed limply, letting out a final low, painful roar, kicking up a cloud of dust.

A few breaths later, under Song Ling’s cold gaze, the giant bear demon’s corpse transformed into a puff of black smoke and vanished without a trace.

This giant bear demon lived underground in Xie Feng’s courtyard and was fed by Xie Feng. With Xie Feng’s second-class martial artist strength, it was clearly insufficient to reach such a strange agreement with it. There must be some unknown secrets involved, perhaps even implicating the Eastveil Escort Agency and even the Escort Agency Alliance…

After a brief thought, Song Ling decided not to meddle in this matter.

His current strength wasn’t at the level where he could casually intervene in such affairs. Unless it involved his own interests, the less he meddled, the longer he would live.

Song Ling walked to the wall, lightly leaped over, and left this place of trouble.
