Chapter 201: The Law of the Jungle


It's mainly the disgust that he couldn't quite accept, even though he used to enjoy watching those videos of ear cleaning and pimple popping while having a meal.

But the creatures in front of him completely exceeded his imagination of biological growth.

And, brat?

Is that something you can say? Show some respect.

Oh, it's indeed quite large.

Lu Ren's expression was indifferent, his gaze swept around.

In the end, he solemnly watched this tigress gnawing on the flesh and blood of a large leg bone in her hand.

This large leg bone was obviously human.

Though she wore palace attire and had a beautiful appearance.

She exuded a ferocious aura, and the momentum condensed between her brows added to this feeling. What filled Lu Ren with killing intent was the thing this woman was gnawing on.

"Are you the so-called Mountain Lady?"

Lu Ren inquired.

The tigress laughed heartily, "I prefer others to call me by my name, Jade Bamboo. Mountain Lady is a title given to me by the Qionglai Peak Immortal Sect. While it sounds nice, it always felt uncomfortable."

There's a force backing her.

Lu Ren's eyes were deep; the name Immortal Sect isn't something just anyone can bear. If this Immortal Sect is hosted by anomalies, that's one thing. But if it's run by humans, haven't they seen the state of this mountain, or are they allowing and accepting it?

These people from the Kunlun Exotic Realm are interesting.

Lu Ren's eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly dividing cultivators and ordinary people into two boundaries.

The so-called Immortal and Mortal.

"Jade Bamboo, a nice name indeed."

The tigress Jade Bamboo took out a human skull from somewhere, playing with it. Judging by its shape and size, it was just a child.

She pointed at the skull, "It was he who gave me the name. But that day I was starving, and could only eat to stave off hunger. But I am someone who remembers kindness, so I've kept it by my side all these years. Under my Qi's immersion, it's almost becoming a jade marrow. In the future, when it becomes an artifact, it'll be a memento."

"That's quite some gratitude."

Lu Ren slowly advanced toward Jade Bamboo, his demeanor chilling to the extreme.

"Why eat?"

"Why eat?"

Jade Bamboo was momentarily stunned, then laughed heartily, laughing so hard that she bent back and forth.

"When you're hungry, why eat other living creatures then?"

Lu Ren fell silent, indeed so.

But as a human, witnessing such a tragic fate befall his kin, he would not show any mercy.

This is the principle of survival in this land, this planet, this world.

"Survival of the fittest, huh."

The top anomalies in this world still hold views akin to Xu Fu and Subodhi. When stepping into Bright Awakening, because the Heart Eye opens, spiritual perception begins to detect the Earth's magnetic field, and under an elevated visual dimension, they see another image of the world.

They believe themselves to be extraordinary, and their mindset changes.

Is it true that upon reaching the end of cultivation, one becomes just a mold?

Going to any lengths to advance, to seek the Dao.

"Survival of the fittest?"

Jade Bamboo pondered for a moment, then clapped her hands, "That's right, that's right, it's the principle of survival of the fittest. If you were stronger than me, you could also take me as a meal."

"Then, currently, I am indeed a bit stronger than you."

Before the words even fell, a 'bang' sound was heard.

The ground under Lu Ren's feet erupted, creating a large pit, and he charged toward Jade Bamboo like thunder, the most direct linear acceleration, almost like flying along the ground.

"Stronger than me?!"

Jade Bamboo had not even laughed when Lu Ren was already in close proximity.

His expression was icy, his right hand already gripping the sword hilt, even as his breath exploded suddenly.

His entire body's functions instantly escalated to the utmost.

Phoenix Falcon Fist, Lamp of Freedom, Breathing and Exhaling Technique, Giant Strength from Spring and Autumn, combined with the Fourth Earth Power from the Fourth Earth Bodhisattva Statue.

Causing his muscles to swell excessively, and a series of explosive sounds occurred from rapid skeletal movement.

A sword draw, and lightning serpents ran along the ground.

Clang!

The sword was drawn, accompanied by arcs of electricity, like a thunder dragon roaring, slashing heavily at Jade Pillar.

This sword, though seemingly simple and direct, at Outstanding Level had an internal Power application that actually allowed him to unleash power at the peak of normality.

Pure to the extreme Martial Taoism's Will, transformed into sharp Sword Intent under an understanding of Sword Dao, the surrounding magnetic field was stirred by his strong will like a tornado, combined with an extraordinarily powerful physical strength, resonating with the sword's sound.

There appeared even a silvery-white sheen manifested from the magnetic field, rippling along the sword's body.

This power emerged from the Sword Scabbard with a speed tearing through the air instantly, causing violent air current changes, seemingly turning the air into a thick liquid.

As light as if heavy.

This occurred when the attack exceeded boundaries, and the entire world seemed unable to bear this momentary speed.

Jade Bamboo's expression did not change in the slightest at this moment; in just a second, Lu Ren crossed the fifteen-meter distance to Jade Bamboo.

At Outstanding Level Basic Swordsmanship, combined with his other martial arts Skills, layers of Power stacked.

He almost exerted two hundred percent of his usual peak Power.

Despite slicing through even a building, Lu Ren was confident he could sever it with a few slashes.

His presence surged, continuously ascending, with elevated Spiritual Intent, as if a colossal sword descended, following from the heavens.

Jade Bamboo finally reacted, her eyes as clear as jade.

Then, like a white lotus, her jade hands rose, the hands blossoming like petals, attempting to grip the longsword from behind.

"Ah!!!"

Jade Bamboo cried out in pain, only to see a massive portion of flesh shaved off from her hand that was about to grip the hilt.

With the activation of high-frequency oscillation, he had yet encountered nothing that couldn't be sliced, even Lu Ren dared not meet the blade head-on.

Jade Bamboo retreated violently, but due to her arrogance, it was too late; her chest ballooned out violently, the body was repelled backward.

Rip!

Two heaving masses of white flesh were directly sliced off by Lu Ren as if slicing tofu.

Jade Bamboo now wore a frosty expression; her chest was a mangled mess.

"Ding, you have slashed off the tigress Jade Bamboo's chest, awakening some kind of fetish. Your Basic Swordsmanship skill level has significantly improved."

This... damn it...

Lu Ren's expression was cold, not pursuing the victory either, as he sensed chasing might fall into the opponent's rhythm.

"Your sword is peculiar, having no runes, yet such Power."

As Jade Bamboo spoke, the flesh on her chest began to change massively.

The huge bloody gashes started closing, and the tissue condensed.

"You have more?"

Lu Ren was surprised, then realized.

"I see, tigers naturally have more to them."

Jade Bamboo's expression no longer wore the previously casual demeanor, despite her furious state, she understood that Lu Ren was far more powerful than those she encountered before, a being with powerful strength that should not be trifled with.

"You too, a strong spirit in the Bright Awakening Realm, why provoke me?"

Jade Bamboo casually moved her head a little as she said, and the flesh on her chest began to change dramatically.

"You're dead, kid. I've killed four or five of your kind; one more won't make a difference."

Lu Ren's expression remained icy, and he didn't push the advantage, feeling intuitively that if he pursued, he might walk into a trap.

That's the ticket.

He walked toward Jade Bamboo, sword in hand, pointing at her step by step.

Jade Bamboo's face was icy, her fingers moved slightly.

Lu Ren observed the peculiarities of Kunlun Exotic Realm, where the air was filled with special pulse particles, and he had already encountered several creatures with abnormal powers.

"Ding, your Spirit was subjected to a mental spike, decision in progress, backlash attack activated, backlash successful, you have successfully attacked the caster."
