Chu Ling's arrival had obviously attracted the attention of the already hungry Eagle Claw deer. The Eagle Claw deer, who was chewing on the grass roots just a moment ago, immediately spit it out, and walked towards Chu Ling, step by step.

Although the Eagle Claw deer looked more like a deer, it did not have a gentle temperament. Although it also ate vegetarian food, if it had meat to choose from, it would naturally choose the latter without hesitation.

For example, now!

Thus, the Eagle Claw Deer only hesitated for a moment before dashing towards Chu Ling. It lowered its head, thrusting its horn, which was sharper than an ordinary totem, at Chu Ling. Wherever it went, dirt would fly everywhere.

Chu Ling's eyes narrowed at that time, although he already knew that this Eagle Claw deer was considered outstanding even amongst all the of the eighth stage, let alone when it came to cultivation, it was already higher than him by a level. If it was a battle, the victor was not so clear.

But Chu Ling only pondered for a moment. Compared to ordinary cultivators of the seventh level of Vein Opening Stage, Spiritual Energy s are several times richer. Even if it was against cultivators of the eighth level of Vein Opening Stage, Chu Ling had the confidence to defeat them.

Therefore, Chu Ling directly took out the formless sword, and in an instant, poured the Spiritual Energy into it.

Very quickly, in the span of a breath, a light blue transparent sword formed in Chu Ling's hands.

"A strike of wind and thunder!"

Chu Ling unleashed seven sword strikes from his Guiyuan, and relying on the profound Spiritual Energy in his body that was countless times more powerful than ordinary cultivators of the seventh stage of the Vein Opening Stage, he thrust his sword towards the Eagle Claw deer.

At that moment, the sound of wind and thunder could be heard, but in an instant, the sword and the antler collided.

Chu Ling suddenly felt a huge force rushing towards him along with the sword.

Chu Ling did not panic at all. After all, even though the Demonic Beast's body was powerful, his own Heaven Understanding Stage was also extraordinary.

Therefore, Chu Ling did not retract his sword, and could not help but increase his strength.

But at that moment, Chu Ling suddenly saw a crafty smile appear on the Eagle Claw Deer's face that had originally seemed to be extremely ferocious!

In that moment, Chu Ling retreated all of a sudden, feeling extremely shocked in his heart.

It had to be known that Demonic Beast of the same level would always be stronger than Human Clan Cultivators. However, this was all built on the fact that Demonic Beast did not have much intelligence and could only rely on their own instincts to fight.

If it was those Demonic Beast with intelligence, cultivators with the same cultivation level would usually die if they met them!

And just as Chu Ling was retreating, the ridicule on the Eagle Claw deer's face grew even stronger. Seemingly at the same time, Chu Ling only felt a huge suction force from the deer horn, which made it so that even if Chu Ling wanted to abandon his sword and retreat, he was unable to do so in a short amount of time.

And at that time, the antlers on the head of the Eagle Claw deer that were originally much harder than normal suddenly caved in, and a jet black ink that looked extremely viscous flew towards Chu Ling.

Needless to say, it had to be highly toxic!

The liquid ink scattered in the air like a spider web, covering Chu Ling's entire body and not giving him the slightest chance to dodge.

In that moment, the poison ink all over Chu Ling's body became a huge net, and very quickly he felt his body becoming powerless, his body becoming weak, and waves after waves of sleepiness started to assail his mind.

Chu Ling knew that if he really fell asleep now, there would be no possibility for him to wake up. Hence, he forced himself to sleep, and activated the Spiritual Energy, hoping to repel the ink off of his body.

However, the Eagle Claw Deer did not give Chu Ling another chance. Although it was moving slowly and looked weak after spitting out the ink, it still had the power to move.

At that time, the Eagle-clawed deer slowly walked towards Chu Ling, a seemingly human cold smile hung on its lips, and the sight of it made one unconsciously tremble with fear. Obviously, the intelligence of this Eagle-clawed Deer wasn't too low.

This was not because it was weak, but because it was not afraid that Chu Ling would be able to escape.

After all, as long as it knew how strong the poison it spat out was, unless it were to bite his head off, perhaps it would awaken by relying on the strong feeling of pain. Otherwise, Chu Ling would not be able to struggle free in his entire life.

Most importantly, from its point of view, it saw itself as different from the other Demonic Beast. As a Demonic Beast who was born to be a king, it was natural that it would be different from those other foolish Demonic Beast.

Just like before, if one did not allow the taste of despair to fully marinate him, then he would definitely taste less of the same.

Therefore, at this moment, the Eagle Claw deer had been observing Chu Ling's expression, waiting for Chu Ling to lose all hope, only then did it look like it was its prey in the past, and bit its head into pieces.

It thought, at that time, Chu Ling would probably let out a miserable scream that would not even have the time to resound through the heaven and earth!

With that thought in mind, he looked at the panic-stricken expression on Chu Ling's face and laughed lightly. Then he bent down and bit towards Chu Ling's head, thinking about the delicious taste of Chu Ling's head that was about to explode in his mouth. He could not help but narrow his eyes.

But right at that time, the Eagle Claw deer never would have thought that Chu Ling, who was originally powerless, would actually turn his head slightly and dodge its large mouth. Before it could even react, the thin sword instantly entered its mouth as well.

And in that instant, it kept expanding, completely filling his big mouth.

The Eagle Claw deer wanted to bite the sword in its mouth to pieces, but it realised that its mouth was wide open to the limit, forget about shattering it, even if Chu Ling did not hold onto the sword hilt, it would still find it difficult to spit out. It could only pull back and try to escape.

But how could Chu Ling have let it go that time? If not for him pulling the Spiritual Energy s out of the formless sword in a moment of desperation, allowing it to rampage within his body, waking up from the pain of his internal organs being injured, he probably would have been dead by now.

So how could he let go of the Eagle Claw Deer that had almost killed him?

Therefore, after Chu Ling spat out a mouthful of blood, he pulled at the sword hilt fiercely with his right hand, causing the Eagle Claw deer that was about to turn and flee to be slightly pulled, and then, he controlled the Formless Phantom Sword that was stuffed into the Eagle Claw deer's mouth, and allowed it to grow spikes one after another.

Although the Eagle Claw Deer's strength was not ordinary and its body was strong, but no matter what, how could his mouth withstand the tip of the Formless Phantom Sword? Within a breath's time, blood flowed out from the Eagle Claw Deer's mouth.

"Two sword strikes can shake a mountain!"

At that time, Chu Ling used his hand as a sword, ignoring the injuries on his body, he immediately activated his battle skill and rushed towards the Eagle Claw Deer.

In a split-second, that Eagle Claw deer's eyes exploded with a deep fear.

And then, Chu Ling's strength that felt like it could shake a mountain landed on the head of the Eagle Claw deer, and its originally ordinary deer sized body flew backwards, directly striking a huge hole on the ground.

In that moment, Chu Ling heaved a sigh of relief, looking at the Eagle Claw deer whose head had already been half blown off, he knew in his heart that it was dead, and was not anxious at all, only sighing with some lingering fear.

Shaking his head, he made his way to the Talon Deer unsteadily.

This should be the first Demon Core he would obtain during this hunt.

But right at this moment, Chu Ling only saw a black shadow flash past in front of him, and following that, an exceptionally thick blade directly smashed onto Chu Ling's face with a sneer.

In that moment, Chu Ling only felt a buzzing sound reverberate continuously in his mind. He felt a burning pain on his face.

His face swelled up at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. His body was like a kite with its string cut as he flew backwards and landed heavily on the ground, creating a long scratch.

"Oh, your strength is not bad, to think that I was unable to kill you, I am truly surprised, but I still have to thank you, to actually give me a of the eighth stage, truly embarrassing!"
