Strongest Replication

More than ten days had passed since the end of the Hunting Contest. Naturally, Wang Hai had already learned how Wang Chao and the others were killed.    

    

All the elite disciples of the Wang Family's younger generation had been killed, and the murdered was precisely Chu Zhongtian. At this moment, Wang Hai's hatred towards Chu Zhongtian had reached its pinnacle. This was also one the reasons why he immediately sent several of the family's experts to hunt Chu Zhongtian down upon receiving the news of his whereabouts.    

    

As for why Wang Hai did not send out the other stronger experts, it was because he realized the sudden influx of experts around the territory of the Wang Family ever since this morning. He was fullly aware that those experts were sent there by the Chu Family to monitor them. Thus, sending anyone stronger than the expert of the Initial Body Refining Realm would only put the entire Wang Family at risk.    

    

It had only been a month since Chu Zhongtian left Endless Forest. After returning to the Endless Forest once more, he was filled with a mix of complicated emotions.    

    

The last time he came to the Endless Forest, he was only an ordinary cultivator at best. Even when he left the Endless Forest... he was still a rookie withut any combat experience.    

    

But now, Chu Zhongtian had returned to the Endless Forest as a top expert with rich combat experience and his cultivation base at the Seventh Layer of the Qi Refining Realm. This was indeed a dramatic arrangement of fate.    

    

After organizing the items that he casually brought along with him, Chu Zhongtian dashed into the range of a Low-Rank Tenth Stage Strange Beast.    

    

This time, he entered the Endless Forest alone with the intention of training himself. In order to make the best use of his time here, he had to fight against strange beasts around the same level as him.    

    

Not to mention, most of the pills he replicated were mainly of the ninth grade. At this point, the corpses of the Low-Rank Tenth Grade Strange Beasts could no longer satisfy his needs. As such, after entering their range, he increased his speed and ignore them instead of stopping to fight them.    

    

If he ever encountered a Low-Rank Tenth Grade Strange Beast in his path, he would try his best to avoid it. Otheriwse, he would simply decimate it with a single punch. With his current combat strength that allows him to challenge oppenents of a higher level, mere Low-Rank Tenth Grade Strange Beasts were not at all capable of slowing him down.    

    

Other than that, the only few times he stopped were when he discovered some precious herbs.    

    

However, when he got into the vicinity of the Mid-Rank Tenth Grade Strange Beasts, he would need to approach them with a bit more caution. Comapred to the Strange Beasts in the Hunting Grounds, the Strange Beasts in the Endless Forest were much wilder and stronger.    

    

Even so, in the face of Chu Zhongtian who was capable of challenging opponents stronger than him, the Mid-Rank Tenth Grade Strange Beasts were still not that big of a threat.    

    

But when he entered the range of the High-Rank Tenth Grade Strange Beasts or ones that were even stronger than that, he had no choice but to stop moving and approach cautiously from the side. This time, he was facing a Jade White Python, a Peak Mid-Rank Tenth Grade Strange Beast.    

    

As the king of all snakes, the Jade White Python was an extremely formidable Strange Beast.    

    

The Jade White Python in front of him was 30 meters long with a diameter of more than a meter. Judging from its size, it was most likely a Peak Mid-Rank Tenth Grade Strange Beast that would soon break through to the High-Rank.    

    

At this moment, the Jade White Python stuck out its blood-red tongue and moved its mouth back and forth. Its pair of tiny and cold eyes were filled with blood while its white jade-like body emitted an aura that sent shivers down one's spine.    

    

Looking at the Jade White Python showing its aggression, Chu Zhongtian's expression turned a little more serious.    

    

The strength of a Peak Mid-rank Tenth Strange Beast was around the same as that of a cultivator in the Seventh Layer of the Qi Refining Realm. But since the Jade White Python was the king of all snakes, its strength was most likely closer to that of a cultivator in the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm.    

    

Despite remaining fearless in its presence, Chu Zhongtian did not dare to let his guard down even for a moment.    

    

The only thing that made his wary of the Jade White Python was that it possessed a special kind of energy that emitted an extremely chilling aura around its vicintiy, capable of freezing all living things within a certain radius in a very short period of time.    

    

Taking in a deep breath, Chu Zhongtian drew out a top grade ten refinements steel blade he obtained from the Hunting Contest. Activating his movement techniques, he then rushed towards the Jade White Python.    

    

The best way to kill a serpent type strange beast was to take the initiative to attack. This was because apart from its sharp fangs, the serpent type strange beast also had a terrifying force that could compress space, as well as a rather troublesome tail that lashes attacks near impossible to defend against for someone of his cultivation level.    

    

With his extreme speed and sword technique, Chu Zhongtian dodged the Jade White Python's attack in a flash. Moving into closer to its lower abdomen, he directly slahsed down on its body.    

    

Though the slippery body of the snake caused the steel blade to miss its target slightly, it nevertheless left behind a shallow cut that created a burst of sparks on the snake's body. At that moment, the Jade White Python suddenly twisted its head around and opened its mouth wide to swallow Chu Zhongtian whole.    

    

In spite of the failed attack, Chu Zhongtian did not panic in the slightest as he twisted his body in an incredible way to avoid the fangs of the Jade White Python. Lifting the steel blade up and leaping into the air impressively, he immediately stabbed down into the lower end of the Jade White Python's python.    

    

As the saying goes, when hitting a snake, one must strike it on its vital point. In fact, the low part of the Jade White Python's forehead was its vital point. This was something Chu Zhongtian had read in the records left behind in the Reading Pavilion of the Chu Family.    

    

Moreover, the Top-Grade ten refinements steel blade was an extremely blade commonly used by Qi Refining Realm Cultivators. At that most, the sharp tip of the blade instantly stabbed into the Jade White Python's forehead, causing a few drops of blood that contained traces of cold air to flow out.    

    

Having its vital point struck down upon, the Jade White Python writhed in agonizing pain as its gigantic body rubbed against the ground.    

    

"Damn it!" Twisting its body around in pain, the Jade White Python suddenly shook its head with all its might and flicked him away from the steel blade stuck on its head, disarming him. Without a top grade weapon in hand, defeating a powerful strange beast such as this python would be ten times more difficult.    

    

The Jade White Python twisted its body a few more times, barely managing to withstand the immense pain and ignoring the steel blade stabbed into its forehead. Facing the sky and letting out a hissing sound, it opened its bloody mouth and spat out a ball of white gas.    

    

After being disarmed now that his steel blade was stuck on the forehead of the Jade White Python, Chu Zhongtian put on his guard against it using a special skill. Thus, when the Jade White Python raised its head to the sky and let out a loud hiss, he knew it was going to activate its special skill.    

    

Looking at the white gas that was shooting towards him, Chu Zhongtian dashed forward instead of retreating while focusing all his attention on its vital point.    

    

Reacting quickly, Chu Zhongtian dodged the attack entirely without coming into contact with the white gas.    

    

Despite dodging the white gas, Chu Zhongtian could not help but feel a sudden chill shivering down his spine as his limbs stiffened slightly.    

    

That was a close call!    

    

Chu Zhongtian's heart lingered with fear upon detecting the cold aura coming from behind him. If he had reacted even a single second slower, even if the white gas had only brushed past his skin, he would have been frozen into a popsicle by now.    

    

After using all his spiritual power to disperse the cold aura from his body, Chu Zhongtian clenched down his fist and struck down on the Jade White Python's vital point.    

    

Afraid that a single punch would be ineffective, Chu Zhongtian sent out three additional punches in a short period of time on the exact same spot.
