I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points Novel - Chapter 69

Chapter 69 Pursuit

At this moment, a strange bird was hanging upside down on a tree branch, watching the battle by the river from a hundred meters away.

Its eyes were the size of fists and were shining like flashlights.

The battle by the river broke the silence of the night. The raging bulls had an endless supply of strength from head to toe, and the ground cracked under their feet. The boulders blocking their way were also crushed to pieces by their horns.

Chen Yiming was relying on his speed to fight the two bulls. If one of the two bulls wanted to escape and join in the attack on Wei Chaoyuan, he would have to rely on the speed of the Mantis Snake Sword Technique to launch a sneak attack from behind.

Wei Chaoyuan raised the long saber in his hand and faced the bull head on. The long saber and the horns clashed continuously, and in the blink of an eye, they had exchanged more than ten blows.

“How much longer will it take for your side?” Chen Yiming shouted as he jumped up to dodge the dancing horns.

When Wei Chaoyuan heard this, he turned his slightly sore wrist. He mustered all his strength once again and swung his saber at the bull.

“Clang!”

Another clash between the saber and the horn resulted in Wei Chaoyuan and the bull each retreating several meters.

“Brother Yiming, my Stacked Mountain Saber can stack up the force repeatedly for a total of four times, but it still can’t break the bull’s horns. I think we might have to find an opportunity to retreat,” Wei Chaoyuan replied.

Chen Yiming’s feint caught the bull’s attention and he quickly retreated to Wei Chaoyuan’s side.

“I noticed that the bull’s head is extremely agile, but its body is much clumsier. Why don’t we change our plan? You can hold off two bulls while I try to kill one,” Chen Yiming said.

“No problem, but I don’t have the ability to accelerate my attacks continuously. I won’t be able to drag things out for long if I fight them head on. You will have to make it quick,” Wei Chaoyuan said directly.

“Don’t worry. Now that the weak point of the bulls’ slow body movements has been exposed, as long as the three bulls don’t stick together, I’m confident that I can deal a fatal blow to them,” Chen Yiming said calmly.

The three raging bulls stomped on the ground and aimed their horns at the two of them.

Although they did not have high intelligence, after a round of fighting, they knew that their opponents would not be easily defeated. They did not charge straight forward as they had done previously.

“Attack!”

Chen Yiming and Wei Chaoyuan exchanged a glance.

Wei Chaoyuan led the charge and instantly leaped into the air, slashing his saber at the bull.

The falling force combined with the force from the Stacked Mountain Saber made the attack stronger than the previous slashes.

“Moo.”

The two bulls that were slightly closer to him kicked the ground with their thick hind legs and raised their four horns high into the air.

The raging bulls had retained the oxen’s violent nature and would not let it go if their opponents openly provoked them. Furthermore, they were facing an opponent that could not injure them.

“A good opportunity!”

Chen Yiming followed closely behind Wei Chaoyuan. When he saw that the raging bull at the back was staring at him, he suddenly changed the direction he was going in and instantly appeared behind the raging bull.

Most of the sword in his hand sank into the bull’s hind leg, and he quickly drew his sword to retreat.

“Moo.”

The raging bull roared anxiously. It was too late for it to turn around, so it could only watch helplessly as Chen Yiming’s sneak attack succeeded.

On the other side, Wei Chaoyuan clashed head-on with the two raging bulls. From the corner of his eye, he saw that Chen Yiming had successfully ambushed one of the raging bulls and quickly retreated.

The two of them stood a small distance away and looked at the three raging bulls who had each assumed a defensive stance.

The bull whose thigh had been pierced by Chen Yiming was being protected by the other two bulls. Bright red blood gushed out of the wound and quickly stained the ground red.

“Amazing,” Wei Chaoyuan praised excitedly.

“That bull was too careless. It thought it was still one versus two. It knew that I was faster, but it still wanted to use its horns to block me,” Chen Yiming said calmly.

“Those two bulls actually didn’t try to escape. I’ll feign an attack on the injured bull later and hold it off for a bit longer. You can continue to find opportunities to launch a sneak attack,” Wei Chaoyuan said with a smile.

“No problem. The raging bulls didn’t gather together from the start. It’s the same whether they stay or run now. One on one, it’s impossible for them to defend against my sneak attacks,” Chen Yiming said.

Just as the two of them were discussing how to kill the three raging bulls, the three bulls bumped their heads and communicated with each other. Suddenly, the two uninjured bulls abandoned the heavily injured bull and split up to escape in two different directions.

“How about we each chase after one of the raging bulls?” Chen Yiming asked.

“What about the injured bull? I might not be able to kill it even if I go after it,” Wei Chaoyuan said directly.

“Let Xiong Kai and Guo Hao deal with the injured bull. Try your best to stop the bulls from escaping. I’ll kill one as soon as possible and go find you,” Chen Yiming suggested.

At this moment, Xiong Kai and Guo Hao also jumped out of the grass and came to their side.

“Don’t worry. That bull has a leg that is injured and can’t exert any strength from it. We can slowly exhaust it to death,” Xiong Kai and Guo Hao patted their chests and promised.

…

Chen Yiming chased after the raging bull following the sound of its escape.

They discussed the plan for about half a minute, and the bull had charged into the woods in the meantime. The dense woods blocked out the moonlight, and one could only see a few meters around them.

The bull was darting about and changing directions constantly. He could only try his best to keep up with it while chasing it through the woods.

As soon as he exited the forest, he saw the entrance to a valley.

The raging bull had already fallen to the ground, its fate unknown. A figure stood beside it.

The person was wearing a black cloak, revealing a white beard. Only a pair of aged eyes could be seen on his face.

“Old man, were you specially waiting for me here?” Chen Yiming stopped in his tracks and looked at the person in front of him.

With a glance, he roughly understood the other party’s motive.

“You’re amazing, kid,” He Xuanlin said slowly. “I watched the entire process from a distance. However, no matter how talented you are, if you can’t grow up, you’re no different from the others.”

He was the current head of the Heavenly Crane Fist School and was already at an advanced age. It wasn’t easy for him to lure the ape king away at the price of getting injured, but he didn’t expect that he would be taken advantage of.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yiming took the initiative to attack.

“You…” He Xuanlin still wanted to say something, but was interrupted and became infuriated.

He raised his right fist at an unhurried pace and threw it forward. He swore to let the young man facing him know that he could not be provoked no matter how weak his body was since he was at the level of the sixth transformation.

“Swish!”

A sword flashed past, avoiding his fist and slashing straight at his neck.

The speed of the sword suddenly changed midway. It was much faster than the average speed of the sixth transformation, and He Xuanlin had no time to react.

In the next moment, a head flew into the air.

“How could this be…” He Xuanlin’s words did not leave his mouth.

Even till his death, he did not understand how he had actually been defeated. His opponent was clearly still so young.

Chen Yiming stopped behind him and muttered, “It was the right choice to hide my true cultivation level and keep some trump cards hidden. Once outside the school, one would somehow make enemies for no reason.”

Because he didn’t know exactly how strong his opponent was, he released his full strength this time. He had used all three of his hidden trump cards — his strength from the sixth transformation, the Chen-style Sword Technique and the Heart Sword.
