Chapter 62
This leopard was extremely quick, but the porcupine’s reactions were not slow either. It chose to maintain the status quo, countering the leopard’s motion with its own stillness.
At the moment that the leopard lunged forward to attack, the porcupine released the quills on its body.
Like a rain of arrows that blocked out the sky, the quills shot out at the leopard in mid-air.
It was a very frightening sight, as Lu Xuan knew of strong mutated porcupines in his past life, which had quills that could be shot out like missiles and even explode. Those were porcupines that had undergone a very thorough mutation.
This porcupine could be said to be very, very powerful.
However, the leopard was no pushover. Under normal circumstances, there was no way the wildcat would be able to avoid the storm of spiny arrows, yet the leopard actually roared out loud, spitting out a gust of wind from its mouth and blowing away the quills.
However, while this was happening, the porcupine had also pulled back, retreating to a more favorable position.
This series of splendid clashes even sparked some interest in Lu Xuan, who was watching from the wings.
Poof! The sword crashed down, chopping the leopard cleanly into two before it could even display its full ferocity.
If it had not met Lu Xuan, it might have grown to become an evil superpower in the future.
After all, it had undergone these mutations in this age, when the world had yet to fully change, so it would have an easy time of it in the future.
The death of the leopard did not scare the porcupine, as it shot out countless quills, raining a barrage down on Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan easily swept them away with a violent burst of wind, blowing all of the quills straight out of the sky.
Even though with his skills, he could have cut down every one of the quills, it was an unnecessary move, as he could simply sweep his sword horizontally and blow them down with the air pressure from his slash.
This was then quickly followed up with another strike from his sword.
In an instant, the giant body of the porcupine was cleaved in half.
Fresh blood gushed out everywhere!
Though this porcupine had undergone a mutation, and its strength was incomparable to other porcupines, it still had to choose its opponents wisely. Faced with someone like Lu Xuan, its power was grossly insufficient.
“What a shame,” Lu Xuan remarked, feeling slightly regretful. “The meat from these strange mutated beasts isn’t cheap and is quite beneficial for novice Cultivators. It’s a pity I’m barehanded and can’t take it all back with me!”
However, he then turned his gaze towards the fruit tree, as he quickly retrieved wooden boxes he had prepared earlier. Then, he hurriedly plucked the Marrow Cleansing Fruits from the tree and placed them into the wooden boxes.
When he had finished this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The fruit’s fragrance was contained, and he did not have to worry about other strange beasts being drawn by the smell.
