Chapter 106 Fierce Battle Against the Black Wind Bear and Unexpected Rescue
Zhang Yifan stood in the ancient forest, his gaze fixed on the enormous Black Wind Bear before him. The bear's body was like a small mountain, its black fur shimmering dimly in the moonlight. Its eyes were fierce, filled with intense killing intent. Each time it swung its paw, a violent storm arose in the air, the trees swaying violently under the wind pressure, as if the entire world was shaking in the midst of this battle.
Zhang Yifan knew that the Black Wind Bear before him was no ordinary demonic beast. It was enormous, incredibly strong, and extremely fast. If he were struck by its paw, even with his powerful cultivation, he would likely be unable to withstand the impact and could very well be seriously injured or even killed.
However, Zhang Yifan was not afraid; instead, his eyes became even more determined. He took a deep breath and quickly analyzed the situation. Although the Black Wind Bear was strong, it was not agile, especially its enormous body, which made it less mobile—a significant advantage for him.
Zhang Yifan didn't engage in a direct confrontation. Instead, he decided to leverage his speed advantage and skillfully use his agility to find an opportunity to counterattack. He swiftly mobilized his spiritual energy, his figure flashing like the wind, instantly disappearing from the Black Wind Bear's sight. The Black Wind Bear swung its paw violently, the immense force tearing through the air, but Zhang Yifan had already circled around to its side, using this brief opening to launch an attack on its vulnerable spot.
The longsword danced in his hand, its energy shooting out like sharp blades, aimed directly at the Black Wind Bear's eyes and joints—its most vulnerable points. Each strike wounded the bear's fur, even drawing blood. Yet, despite this, the Black Wind Bear remained unharmed; its rage only intensified, each attack growing ever more ferocious.
Zhang Yifan knew that relying solely on agile dodging couldn't maintain his advantage in the long run. The Black Wind Bear's strength was simply too great, and if this continued, his stamina would eventually be exhausted. Moreover, although his attacks had angered the Black Wind Bear, its injuries weren't serious; the Black Wind Bear's defenses were extremely robust, which made Zhang Yifan somewhat anxious.
He forced himself to calm down, knowing he couldn't act rashly. Just then, a strange noise came from the nearby woods, as if a large group of creatures were rapidly approaching. Zhang Yifan's heart tightened, thinking another powerful enemy had appeared, and he prepared his sword to fight. However, what he hadn't expected was not the sound of enemy footsteps, but the appearance of a group of clever monkeys.
A group of agile and swift monkeys leaped out of the forest, each wielding makeshift weapons such as wooden sticks and stones, and pounced on the Black Wind Bear. They moved with incredible speed, like gusts of wind, instantly surrounding the bear and launching a fierce attack on its eyes and limbs. Although these clever monkeys' attacks didn't inflict any real damage on the Black Wind Bear, their agility prevented it from focusing on Zhang Yifan's fight.
Zhang Yifan's heart skipped a beat. These Spirit Monkeys were clearly seeking revenge for the Blood Shadow Wolf Clan's invasion, and seeing him fighting the Black Wind Bear, they decided to lend a hand. He quickly adjusted his tactics, taking the opportunity to absorb some energy, and began coordinating with the Spirit Monkeys to launch a joint attack.
Seeing that the Black Wind Bear's attention was diverted, Zhang Yifan's heart stirred. He immediately gathered all his spiritual power, preparing to unleash a powerful sword technique. He channeled his spiritual power into the longsword in his hand, and the blade instantly burst forth with dazzling light. He seized the opportunity when the Black Wind Bear turned to attack the Spirit Monkey, and quickly charged towards its back.
A sword aura, like a rainbow, sliced through the air, aiming precisely for the Black Wind Bear's back. The sword aura collided with the Black Wind Bear's thick fur, producing a deafening roar. The Black Wind Bear let out a painful growl, blood gushing from its wound like a fountain, dripping onto the ground and instantly staining a patch of earth red.
The Black Wind Bear felt excruciating pain, its rage reignited, and it turned and furiously pounced on Zhang Yifan. Zhang Yifan remained calm; he was already prepared for the challenge. He and the Spirit Monkeys began to coordinate seamlessly. The Spirit Monkeys leaped rapidly around the Black Wind Bear, attacking its head and limbs with weapons and spiritual energy, while Zhang Yifan focused intently on the bear's wounds, delivering precise strikes.
However, the Black Wind Bear was, after all, a powerful demonic beast. Although its movements had begun to slow, the power it unleashed was still unimaginable. Suddenly, the Black Wind Bear violently shook its massive body, releasing a powerful shockwave. The surrounding spirit monkeys were all blasted away and fell to the ground, no longer able to pose a threat to it.
Seeing the Black Wind Bear's massive paw lunge at him again, Zhang Yifan knew he could no longer dodge. If he avoided this attack, the Black Wind Bear would undoubtedly launch a furious counterattack, and he would lose his chance. Therefore, Zhang Yifan resolutely charged forward to meet the attack.
He unleashed a powerful defensive spell, simultaneously channeling all his spiritual energy into his longsword to maximize its sharpness. The Black Wind Bear's paw slammed into his longsword, producing a deafening roar that seemed to shake the entire space. Zhang Yifan felt a sharp pain in his arm, almost losing his grip, but he gritted his teeth and stubbornly persevered.
At this moment, although the Black Wind Bear's attacks were fierce, it was also suffering continuous harassment from the Spirit Monkey and Zhang Yifan. Its anger gradually subsided, and its attacks began to become slightly clumsy. Zhang Yifan knew that this was the best time to counterattack.
The spirit monkeys leaped onto the Black Wind Bear again, swiftly attacking its eyes with sticks and stones. The Black Wind Bear roared in pain, trying to shake off the troublesome spirit monkeys, but couldn't escape their clutches. A murderous intent surged within Zhang Yifan; he quickly adjusted his angle and thrust his sword fiercely towards the Black Wind Bear's heart.
The sword strike was incredibly precise, piercing the Black Wind Bear's hard chest and heading straight for its heart. The Black Wind Bear let out a mournful roar, its eyes filled with rage and resentment, but its massive body finally collapsed powerlessly to the ground with a thud. Zhang Yifan and the Spirit Monkeys stood there, breathing heavily, exhausted yet filled with a sense of accomplishment.
After the battle, Zhang Yifan leaned against a tree, panting. He looked at the group of spirit monkeys not far away, his heart filled with gratitude. Without their help, the battle would undoubtedly have been much more difficult. He nodded slightly in thanks, and the spirit monkeys returned his gaze with victorious expressions.
Although this battle was arduous, it made Zhang Yifan realize more deeply that fighting alone in this forest was not the only option; cooperation and wisdom were the true keys to victory.
