Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 188 - 178: The Strength of the Explosive Flame Bear
Qin Qing’s spear thrust directly at the head of the Explosive Flame Bear.
Even though this Explosive Flame Bear was a ferocious beast of the Golden Core Realm, it definitely dared not let Qin Qing’s spear pierce its head.
After all, Qin Qing’s attack power was considerable, and with the amplification of the Azure Dragon Spear, such a thrust, concentrating destructive power at a single point, was extremely astonishing in its lethality.
The Explosive Flame Bear had no choice but to abandon its attack on Xiao Bai and turn around to slap with its paw.
"Come on again!"
Qin Qing gritted his teeth!
The last collision almost injured him.
But this time, Qin Qing was prepared to do even more.
"Boom!"
Inside Qin Qing’s body, his qi-blood suddenly ignited.
It was as if his qi-blood suddenly boiled, his spiritual power and qi-blood all burned at that moment, transforming into a constant stream of force!
As Qin Qing’s cultivation improved, his qi-blood became even more vigorous, and the power increase brought by the Blood Burning Secret Technique also received a corresponding enhancement!
"Rumble!"
Qin Qing’s spear thrust seemed to faintly contain the sound of thunder.
The violent spiritual power gathered at the tip of the spear as if to pierce through all obstacles.
"Crash!"
And the attack of the Explosive Flame Bear was equally formidable.
Its Power of True Intent converged on its paw, making the entire bear’s paw appear to be completely enveloped in a golden light.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the tip of the Azure Dragon Spear and the paw of the Explosive Flame Bear collided fiercely once again.
The violent force once again struck Qin Qing.
Qin Qing’s body was flung away again, the violent impact causing him to instantly lose control of his body.
However, the Explosive Flame Bear was definitely not faring any better this time.
It, too, was forced to retreat by Qin Qing’s spear, the nearly thirty-foot-tall body staggering back three or four steps on the snowy ground.
But what was most surprising was the appearance of a blood hole about the size of a finger on the head of the Explosive Flame Bear.
The blood hole wasn’t deep, barely half an inch.
This depth couldn’t cause actual damage to the Explosive Flame Bear, but it was enough to prove one thing!
That was that Qin Qing could indeed inflict harm on the Explosive Flame Bear!
The Explosive Flame Bear was not absolutely invincible...
"Roar roar..."
Although the Explosive Flame Bear did not sustain substantial damage, the pain from the wound was definitely real.
It covered its wound, roaring angrily, looking at Qin Qing with its pupils suddenly ablaze with fierce flames.
As for Qin Qing.
Once again, he was sent flying by a palm strike from the Explosive Flame Bear, but this time, in the instant he was sent flying backward, he fiercely stabbed the Azure Dragon Spear into the ground.
The next moment...
"Whoosh!"
Snow flew about, along with the thick underlying snow, nearly half a foot of soil was directly lifted by the tremendous backward force.
Not until Qin Qing’s Azure Dragon Spear plowed a trench nearly thirty feet long did Qin Qing stop hurtling backward, and the Azure Dragon Spear was bent into an arc resembling a full moon.
Immediately after!
Qin Qing suddenly used that impact force to swiftly reverse direction.
The Azure Dragon Spear stuck in the ground was like a gigantic slingshot, and Qin Qing turned himself into a stone on the slingshot.
His whole body was slammed back at the Explosive Flame Bear once more!
At the instant he was about to approach the Explosive Flame Bear, the Azure Dragon Spear stuck in the ground was once again pulled out by Qin Qing.
"Stupid bear, take this!"
Qin Qing swung the Azure Dragon Spear, treating it like a long stick, and fiercely lashed it at the Explosive Flame Bear!
"Crack!"
The air directly exploded with a deafening blast.
That Azure Dragon Spear created a series of afterimages in the air.
The roaring of the Explosive Flame Bear suddenly stopped at that moment, it had perceived the terrifying force of Qin Qing’s oncoming spear.
"Whoosh!"
Around the Explosive Flame Bear, layers of golden Spiritual Power rippled like water, while its paws struck out once again.
"Bang!"
The spear struck viciously against the paws of the Explosive Flame Bear.
The air seemed to freeze instantly.
Qin Qing felt as though his spear had hit an iron tower.
However, the next moment—
That iron tower was knocked backwards three to four zhang by the blow.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The massive body of the Explosive Flame Bear, with its golden glow disrupted by the strike, staggered back several steps, each one thundering upon the earth.
"Huff huff!"
Qin Qing landed on the ground, gasping for breath deeply.
This spear strike had indeed sapped a tremendous amount of his strength.
"Damn it, even such a powerful blow didn’t deal substantial damage to the Explosive Flame Bear!"
Qin Qing was somewhat speechless.
At the same time, he exerted himself to circulate the Emperor Dragon Secret Technique.
He first stabilized the Spiritual Power and Qi-Blood within his body that had begun to show signs of disorder.
But just then, Qin Qing suddenly noticed that both palms of the Explosive Flame Bear were trembling incessantly.
"Hm?"
On closer inspection by Qin Qing,
The arms of the Explosive Flame Bear displayed numerous tiny and nearly invisible cracks, from which molten lava-like substance faintly seeped.
The Explosive Flame Bear was not completely uninjured.
Moreover, what could be seen were merely flesh wounds; there might also be injuries inside the bear’s body that couldn’t be discerned with the naked eye.
"No, that’s not right..."
Qin Qing squinted his eyes, intrigued as he observed the Explosive Flame Bear.
"There are signs of Soul Power fluctuations becoming disordered!"
"This Explosive Flame Bear hasn’t been in the Golden Core Realm for long."
"If it had been in the Golden Core Realm long enough for its cultivation to stabilize there, then such a leakage of Soul Power wouldn’t occur."
"There’s only one possibility! The bear must have just broken through to the Golden Core Realm, and its Soul Power hasn’t fully condensed into the True Intention of Golden Core."
Qin Qing was certain of his conjecture!
"Just entered the Golden Core Realm... Although it’s an Explosive Flame Bear, its strength won’t be that formidable, probably only slightly stronger than Xie Jin’an!"
Qin Qing’s heart instantly steadied.
The eruption of the Blood Burning Secret Technique meant his Cultivation could effectively jump an entire Great Realm.
He was now at the Peak of the Soul Refinement Realm.
With the eruption of the Blood Burning Secret Technique, it was as if he were at the Peak of the Divine Might Realm.
Plus, with his formidable physical body, the endless stream of Spiritual Power, and the support of his powerful talent, killing a Ferocious Beast at the Early Stage of the Golden Core Realm was not completely out of the question.
"No matter how you look at it, this is a Fourth Rank Ferocious Beast! Even if it has just entered the Golden Core Realm, slaying it would mean obtaining materials from a Golden Core Realm beast! Just this Explosive Flame Bear alone would make this trip to Tianjue Forest a huge profit!"
Qin Qing’s eyes burned with excitement.
And at that moment, Little White burst forth from another direction.
"Moo moo!"
That creature actually bellowed twice at the Explosive Flame Bear, swinging its Flood Dragon Tail around, full of provocation.
"Little White, be careful, that bear is not something you can handle..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
But before Qin Qing could finish, Little White charged towards the Explosive Flame Bear.
What happened next left Qin Qing utterly dumbfounded...
