10x Rewards: Novel's Extra's Cultivation Stealing System-Chapter 45: Battle for Survival

Up in the dense canopy, hidden perfectly beneath his Phantom Veil Cloak, with just his face peeking out, Gu Fan leaned comfortably against a thick branch, as he chewed on a piece of dried meat, watching the carnage below.

Down below the 2nd Stage Spirit Realm disciple was already a dead man walking. The massive 4th Stage Venomhide Bear had just swiped its heavy paw across his body, tearing a massive chunk of flesh, muscle, and bone completely off his shoulder. Blood sprayed across the damp dirt like a ruptured fountain.

"Ouch," Gu Fan mumbled around a mouthful of jerky, "We are going to need a medic on the field for that one."

Nearby, the 6th Stage Spirit Realm male disciple was locked in another combat.

He gritted his teeth, ducked under a lethal swipe from a 3rd Stage Spirit Realm bear, and threw a Qi-infused punch directly up into the beast’s snout.

The sheer blunt force shattered the bear’s nose, making the beast stumble backward, blindly crashing toward the wounded 2nd Stage Spirit Realm disciple.

"Oh, solid assist!" Gu Fan whispered excitedly, leaning over the branch, "Let’s see the follow-up play!"

Seeing the monster stumbling into his range, pure survival adrenaline flooded the dying disciple’s veins. He used every single drop of his remaining energy.

He pushed himself off the bloody mud, launching into the air, as he gripped his sabre with both hands and drove it straight down through the back of the stumbling 3rd Stage Spirit Realm bear’s neck. He twisted the blade violently, severing its spine and killing it instantly.

"Beautiful execution! A flawless mid-air strike!" Gu Fan cheered softly, giving a small fist pump.

But his momentary triumph cost him.

As soon as the disciple landed on his legs, his knees buckled, and the 4th Stage Spirit Realm bear he was fighting lunged from behind.

Before the boy could even turn around, the massive beast clamped its jaws over his head and bit down hard, crushing his skull like a ripe melon, and blood and flesh exploded outward.

"Oof... terrible landing," Gu Fan winced playfully, shaking his head, "I think we can all agree that it’s a red card. And with that, he is officially out of this world!"

Seeing their junior brother die so gruesomely, the remaining male disciples realised escape was impossible. They were dead meat.

The 5th Stage Spirit Realm disciple tried to retreat, but a second 3rd Stage bear tackled him from the side.

He was quickly overwhelmed and pinned to the ground, and the beast stood directly on top of his chest. The horrific sound of his ribs crunching under the sheer weight echoed loudly in the clearing.

He coughed up dark blood, laughing a wet, manic sound. He didn’t bother trying to push the monster off. His legs were already broken earlier.

He burned his blood essence to suppress the pain and pulled a talisman from his robes. With a wild scream, he shoved his entire arm directly into the roaring bear’s open mouth and poured his Qi in the talisman.

BOOM!

A violent shockwave of toxic green acid ripped through the air. The bear’s head blew apart in a shower of boiling gore, taking the top half of the disciple’s torso with it.

"A kamikaze play! Spicy!" Gu Fan chuckled, tossing another piece of jerky into his mouth, "The Bai Clan really breeds them dramatic."

The 6th Stage Spirit Realm male disciple watched his brothers die and completely abandoned his defence. He fought like a madman, trading his life for a single lethal strike.

He charged straight at a 4th Stage bear. He didn’t raise his sword to parry when the beast swung its razor-sharp claws. He leaned forward, letting the claws sink deeply into his stomach, ripping his abdominal wall open and exposing his intestines.

Anchored in his flesh, the bear roared, temporarily stuck.

"Die, you ugly bastard!" the 5th Stage disciple roared back. Using the gruesome leverage of his own ruined body, he swung his heavy sword with both hands in a desperate, horizontal arc, putting every ounce of his failing strength into the blow.

The blade sliced cleanly through the bear’s thick neck, decapitating it. The beast’s massive head thumped into the mud.

"Trading guts for glory! Now that’s the fighting spirit!" Gu Fan praised, genuinely entertained by the bloody spectacle.

Before the disciple could even fall forward, a massive 5th Stage bear lunged at him from his blind spot.

The boy spat blood, spun around, and swung his sword again, engaging in a brutal, desperate clash., as he parried a heavy swipe, the force jarring his shoulders, and managed to drive his blade deep into the beast’s front shoulder, injuring it badly.

But his own wounds were too severe. As he tried to pull back his sword, he stumbled on his own spilled intestines. Taking advantage of the slip, the 5th Stage bear lunged forward and swiped its good paw, completely ripping the disciple’s throat wide open.

And the next second, the male disciple collapsed dead into the mud.

"And the final buzzer sounds for the boys," Gu Fan calculated, brushing some crumbs off his black cloak. He smirked down at the bloody mess, "Three bears down, four to go. You cannon fodder actually did some heavy lifting. Good boys."

Down in the mud, the icy beauty wasn’t resting. She was actively rolling across the bloody dirt, desperately dodging the towering 6th Stage alpha bear’s heavy, ground-shattering stomps.

She was now entirely alone against the remaining monsters. The 6th Stage bear was relentlessly hunting her. Lurking nearby were two 4th Stage bears, the injured 5th Stage bear was already moving back to protect the newborn cub.

Gu Fan leaned forward on his branch, his eyes glued entirely to her.

Her dark green silk robe was completely ruined. During the chaos, a bear’s claws had caught her clothing, ripping the expensive fabric diagonally from her right shoulder all the way down to her cleavage.

The shredded silk fell away as she moved. The heavy, pale upper curve of her left breast was fully exposed to the cold forest air. It heaved violently with every breath she took, completely unrestrained.

Mud, dirt, and hot beast blood were smeared across her porcelain skin and her incredibly thick thighs.

Gu Fan’s groin tightened uncomfortably against his coarse trousers. She looked wild. She looked wildly erotic and dangerously vulnerable at the same time.

Gu Fan stared intensely at how the ripped, wet silk clung desperately to her perfectly curved hips and round ass, teasing Guy Fan.

"Damn, those thighs could crush a man’s skull," he thought, licking his lips.

But down in the blood-soaked forest, the icy look on the girl’s face was replaced by the desperate, vicious ferocity of a cornered prey. She didn’t bother trying to cover her exposed breast. She simply gripped her twin silver swords tighter.

She channelled the absolute last reserves of her 7th Stage Spirit Realm Qi directly into the blades. The silver metal hummed with a sharp, lethal frequency.

She kept the towering 6th Stage bear directly in front of her, using its massive bulk as a temporary shield against the others. When the alpha bear charged, she waited until the very last millisecond, ducked incredibly low under a wide swing of his arm, and exploded forward.

"Ooh, risky manoeuvre, stepping inside the guard like that," Gu Fan mumbled, leaning forward.

Using the opening, she sprinted straight past the pack, aiming directly for the 5th Stage Spirit Realm bear guarding the cub.

The 5th Stage Spirit Realm bear lunged on its hind legs to intercept her, but this did not slow her down.

She dropped to her knees, sliding through the bloody slick mud directly beneath its crushing embrace.

As she slipped past its arms, she slashed violently upward, slicing the beast’s underbelly wide open from crotch to throat. As a big red cross appeared on its body as hot guts and blood dumped entirely onto her face and exposed chest, and the bear crashed dead behind her.

"Clean slide! Excellent use of the terrain!" Gu Fan praised with a quiet chuckle. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

She didn’t even get to wipe the blood off her face to clear her vision when a 4th Stage bear immediately swiped its heavy paw directly at her head from the right.

She planted her foot hard in the mud and smoothly leaned backward, her highly flexible spine arching deeply. Her exposed, heavy breast bounced wildly with the sudden, violent evasion. The claws missed her nose by a hair’s breadth, slicing off a few strands of her dark hair.

"Whoa, easy there, don’t chop off the good ’goods’!"
