《Wind Chasing Sword Technique》 is just a very ordinary sword art, but when Lin Hao used it, its power instantly increased several times over. Even some hard-to-detect flaws could be instantly perfected by Lin Hao. This is the power of the realm of intent.
In his previous life, as the Nine Heavens Emperor, the level of intent he had reached was far beyond what ordinary beings could touch. Even a pebble or a leaf could be used to kill the strongest of enemies. In this life, he had come back with a very strong sense of self, one could say a complete and independent consciousness.
When he merged with his secondary soul, he possessed two major realms of intent, neither arrogant nor restless, free from all pretense, and every move he made exuded the grace of a master. This is the power of the realm of intent.
At this moment, Lin Hao's figure darted through the mountains and valleys, as if he had merged with heaven and earth. Every time he swung the Evil Heavy Sword, even the void seemed to pause.
The three-tailed cat demon, relying on its speed and innate abilities, though not suffering fatal injuries, felt an inexplicable fear towards Lin Hao. Even with its speed, the three-tailed cat demon did not dare to engage in a direct confrontation and fled in the blink of an eye.
It had many wounds, all caused by the Evil Heavy Sword. Ten black flying daggers slowly rotated in the air around Lin Hao, forming a mysterious space that surrounded him. Whenever the three-tailed cat demon tried to attack Lin Hao, the flying daggers would surge out like fierce dragons, aiming to pierce its body.
...
"Want to run?" Seeing the three-tailed cat demon turn into a demonic wind and flee, Lin Hao let out a cold snort. He activated the *Cloud Wind Step* and his speed was no less than that of the cat demon, immediately chasing after it.
The three-tailed cat demon had no heart to fight and could only push its speed to the limit, trying to escape Lin Hao's pursuit.
However, Lin Hao's *Cloud Wind Step* had already reached the Great Perfection stage, and he possessed a realm of intent that surpassed the entire Yellow Wasteland Continent. The two were not much different in speed, so how could the three-tailed cat demon escape from under Lin Hao's watchful eyes?
*Wind Chasing, Cloud Shocking!*
Lin Hao was about three zhang away from the three-tailed cat demon. A great sword momentum spread from the Evil Heavy Sword, accompanied by a bone-chilling aura that made some high-level beasts in the vicinity retreat in shock.
*Swish!*
A grand sword qi slashed out, like a massive wave, one after another, directly engulfing the three-tailed cat demon.
Seeing this, Lin Hao's lips curled into a slight smile. With a *clang*, the Evil Heavy Sword returned to its sheath, and the ten flying daggers that surrounded him also landed on his waist.
At this moment, the three-tailed cat demon was on its last breath, glaring at Lin Hao with venomous eyes, as if it wanted to flay him alive. In a short while, the three-tailed cat demon died from its severe injuries.
Lin Hao walked forward and effortlessly hoisted the three-tailed cat demon onto his shoulder.
After the fusion of the two souls, Lin Hao developed a divine power far surpassing that of his peers. He had also cultivated the *Heavenly Gang Divine Technique*, making his physical strength so formidable that even those who specialized in physical cultivation might not dare to challenge him.
Hoisting the three-tailed cat demon onto his shoulder, Lin Hao smiled. This ordinary elite-level fierce beast was incredibly powerful.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed within a hundred miles, causing Lin Hao's blood to boil and his true qi to surge uncontrollably, making his body tremble slightly.
In front of him, a dark mass loomed. Lin Hao focused his gaze and immediately drew a sharp breath. It was a small-scale beast tide!
Within a hundred miles, in all directions, countless ordinary fierce beasts and wild beasts were fleeing in a frenzy, including the traces of mid-level fierce beasts. Although the scale was small, the number of fierce beasts and wild beasts likely reached the tens of thousands! Even those who had opened the first Heavenly Gate, 'Tian Ling,' would have to retreat in the face of such a beast tide!
Run!
At this moment, Lin Hao had only one thought: to escape as quickly as possible. This small-scale beast tide could crush him into minced meat with just one encounter!
"Whistle!"
Suddenly, from a hundred miles away, a strange whistle sounded. A colossal creature, about dozens of meters tall, seemed to pierce through the sky. It resembled a rat, with two enormous ears that could create terrifying gales with a slight movement, crushing fierce beasts into powder.
The giant rat's body was incredibly massive, so much so that it could be described as blocking out the sun and clouds. Its limbs were very long, allowing it to leap like a kangaroo, as if crossing the void, striking fear into the hearts of all fierce beasts.
"High-level fierce beast...!" Lin Hao was greatly startled. This was indeed a high-level fierce beast, capable of easily destroying small-scale families and flattening towns with ease!
It seemed that the appearance of this high-level fierce beast had triggered the small-scale beast tide.
Lin Hao did not dare to stay and immediately fled.
However, the number of wild beasts and fierce beasts continued to increase, causing the earth to tremble and dust to roll, creating a chaotic scene.
Although Lin Hao's speed was fast, it was impossible to outpace the beast tide. If he continued like this, he would be trampled into minced meat before he could escape the Heavenly Swinging Mountains.
Under the immense pressure, Lin Hao's speed broke its limits once again. His figure moved like the wind and clouds, still carrying the corpse of the three-tailed cat demon on his shoulder, unwilling to abandon it.
A short while later, Lin Hao arrived at a ravine, about a hundred meters away from a cave.
Without hesitation, Lin Hao rushed into the cave to avoid the beast tide.
...
The cave was pitch black and somewhat damp, but Lin Hao did not mind. He only hoped that the fierce beasts would not rush in, otherwise, even the ravine would be flattened.
The beast tide continued, with more and more fierce beasts forming a medium-scale tide, and another high-level fierce beast appeared.
It seemed that two high-level fierce beasts were fighting over territory, causing thousands of wild beasts and ordinary fierce beasts to suffer.
The Heavenly Swinging Mountains often experienced large-scale beast tides, usually due to the arrival of high-level fierce beasts or the spread of demonic beast auras. Every year, countless disciples died in these beast tides.
Lin Hao was relatively lucky, as he had not been overwhelmed by the beast tide. He stayed in the cave for several hours, feeling anxious. The next day was the Outer Sect Ranking Competition, and it was unclear when the beast tide would disperse.
Some large-scale beast tides could last for months, but for a small-scale one, it could take a few hours if he was lucky, or a few days if he was not.
After staring outside the cave for a moment, Lin Hao shook his head and walked deeper into the cave. Since he could not leave for now, he might as well take the opportunity to cultivate, but he had to ensure there were no threats inside the cave.
The cave was quite large, with a diameter of about a hundred meters. The further he went in, the darker it became, but it was still within an acceptable range.
Suddenly, Lin Hao's brows furrowed. A faint aura and a white figure came from ahead.
Initially, Lin Hao thought it was a wild beast or a fierce beast occupying the cave, but as he approached, he realized it was not. From its form and aura, it seemed to be a human.
However, the cave was very dark, and even at a distance of a few meters, he could not see clearly. Lin Hao cautiously approached the white figure.
Lin Hao thought it might be a disciple from some faction who was practicing in the mountains and had also taken refuge in the cave due to the beast tide.
"Lin Hao is temporarily hiding from the beast tide. I wonder if I am disturbing you, sir." Lin Hao stared at the white figure and spoke softly.
Logically, if it were a practicing warrior, they would have sensed his presence at such a close distance, but there was no sound, and the white figure did not move at all.
Lin Hao called out, but the white figure remained silent, like a statue, unmoving.
Lin Hao was puzzled and moved closer. At this moment, he was about half a meter away from the white figure. Suddenly, a faint white glow appeared on the white figure's body, gradually becoming brighter.
At this moment, Lin Hao's pupils constricted in shock.
In front of him was a long-haired woman!
Her face was like a painting, beautiful to the point of being mesmerizing, almost bewitching. Her snow-white hair fell to her waist, and her body emitted a mysterious, alluring fragrance. At first glance, she was a celestial being, even more beautiful than a fairy in a painting.
In his previous life, Lin Hao had seen many beauties who could bring down kingdoms, but a woman like this was extremely rare. If he had to rate her, she could only be described as the epitome of beauty.
The woman was draped in a thin white veil, her snow-white skin like the finest jade in the world. Her figure was perfectly proportioned, as if meticulously crafted by a master, with no awkwardness.
The veil was very thin, almost transparent, revealing two snow-white, alluring peaks that rose and fell with her breathing, captivating the soul.
She was both pure and alluring, a beauty that made one's breath quicken and blood boil. To be able to kiss her would be the most soul-stirring thing in the world.
If it were an ordinary warrior, seeing such a stunning beauty, they might lose their reason and pounce on her immediately, especially since the veil was almost transparent, revealing a beauty that defied description.
Even Lin Hao felt his breathing quicken.
In an instant, a faint light flashed in Lin Hao's eyes, and he dispelled the chaotic thoughts, once again adopting his characteristic indifferent expression, as if nothing in this world could move him.
In his previous life as the Nine Heavens Emperor, he had seen countless beauties. Moreover, his heart was set on the path of martial arts, and he had no thoughts of romantic love. After opening the fifth Heavenly Gate in his previous life, the remaining four gates were almost achieved at the cost of his life. His heart was only for the Way, the Martial Way!
The momentary infatuation was due to this young body. He was both the Nine Heavens Emperor Gu Changfeng and Lin Hao, and neither side of his will could be abandoned. Lin Hao's will was even purer, which was why such a situation had occurred.
Lin Hao examined the woman, his gaze free of any impure thoughts.
"So, that's how it is..." Lin Hao's eyes seemed to see through the essence of the world, filled with a terrifying wisdom.
The woman was injured and hiding in the cave to heal. She must have removed her clothes because her inner energy could not disperse, leaving only a nearly transparent veil.
Lin Hao felt a bit awkward. Even though he had no impure thoughts, it was inappropriate to stay in the cave with a nearly naked, stunningly beautiful woman.
Lin Hao did not want to do this, but the beast tide outside had not yet dispersed. If he left the cave now, he might be trampled into minced meat. He was not foolish and would not take risks for the sake of propriety.
