Astral Apostle

Chapter 68: Hunt and Thunder Strike (3)

In midair, his line of sight was level with the Claw Rending Bear.

One man and one beast. The moment their eyes met…

A cold light gleamed in their eyes.

Psssh!

His long saber stabbed into the left eye of the Claw Rending Bear, and blood gushed out!

“Aooooo —”

The bear let out an earth-shattering howl. Ignoring the other hunters who seized the opportunity to try and shave its leg, it attacked Zhou Jing with both its paws.

At this moment, the long saber was still deeply embedded in the bear’s eye. Zhou Jing’s body hung in the air, his hands holding the hilt as he suddenly used the blade as a pivot to swing up.

Peng!

The bear’s paws collided in midair, causing even the air to tremble, but it was a lonely slap.

Zhou Jing had narrowly dodged it. His explosive power and astonishing agility allowed him to safely land on the bear’s head instead!

At this moment, his posture had already changed to holding the saber in a backhanded manner. He suddenly pulled it out!

Psssh!

The long saber was out, and the Claw Rending Bear’s eye turned into a hole, spraying out blood.

Zhou Jing’s expression did not change as he stabbed at the bear’s intact right eye. Then, he quickly drew his saber and kicked the back of the bear’s neck with both feet, sending himself flying backward.

Peng!

The moment he shot off, the bear hit its head where Zhou Jing was originally standing. The violent wind made Zhou Jing’s eyelids hurt.

Falling from the air, Zhou Jing broke his fall by tapping on the ground with both feet. With a light roll, he quickly stood up and looked up at the Claw Rending Bear.

The physically blinded bear was roaring in pain, dizzy from its own slap. It held its head and rolled around like a top, sweeping its paws crazily at the empty space, forcing all the hunters back.

“Got it!”

Only then did Zhou Jing exhale the air in his lungs. His tightly shut pores opened, and sweat quickly seeped out, wetting his armor.

After exiting the [Thunder Strike] state, a wave of soreness swept through his entire body, and his stamina was greatly exhausted.

The series of dangerous actions only took a few seconds. Zhou Jing squeezed out his strengthened stamina from the mutant blood and combined it with his combat intuition before he narrowly managed to blind the Claw Rending Bear.

Many hunters looked at the now violent Claw Rending Bear and couldn’t help but turn to look at Zhou Jing in surprise and excitement.

“Good kid! You’re amazing!”

“Well done!”

Zhou Jing’s series of actions were as smooth as flowing water. He directly severely injured the Claw Rending Bear under a tightrope situation, causing many hunters to be drenched in sweat.

Many hunters thought that if they did not care about their lives, they might be able to do the same. However, the success rate was extremely low, and they could not make every judgment and action so accurately. Any mistake would result in death.

They thought that the newbie hunter was good and a reliable teammate!

Apart from shock, everyone was overjoyed and instantly excited.

A Claw Rending Bear that had lost its vision was much easier to deal with than before!

This risky operation by Jason·Wood had directly freed them from their deadlock. Their main attack team’s duty was to kill one of them as quickly as possible!

Everyone could not be bothered to exclaim in surprise. They seized this opportunity to attack again and take its life while it was injured.

Barong gasped in surprise, his heart surging with shock.

He had guessed that Zhou Jing’s strengthening effect was very good, but it still exceeded his expectations.

He did not expect Jason to be so sharp with his first actual combat performance.

He was just like Will at that time. This combat talent was also very rare… Could this also be the talent of the Wood family?

Without thinking too much, Barong quickly returned to his post and followed everyone to attack the blinded Claw Rending Bear.

The pressure on everyone was greatly reduced. They cooperated with each other and left more wounds on the bear. Soon, there were bloodstains everywhere on the ground.

In the distance, Weber, who was struggling to restrain the other bear, also discovered the stellar results of the main attack team. He immediately perked up and tried his best to hold back the energy of the other bear to prevent the two mutated beasts from converging once more.

Not long after, the blinded bear was riddled with wounds. Without its sight, it couldn’t accurately dodge the attacks aimed at its vitals, and its injuries got progressively worse.

Weiss got what he wanted. The spear was stained with blood, and this particular Claw Rending Bear was destined to never be able to experience Father’s Day.

As its injuries worsened, its movements gradually slowed down, and more of its flaws appeared.

Zhou Jing, having recovered a little after a short rest, seized an opportunity and called over two hunters to help. With his previous achievements, his teammates were quite willing to cooperate with him this time.

He stepped on the weapons of his two teammates and used the force of their swing to suddenly jump up. He pounced directly onto the head of the blinded bear before stabbing his blade deeply into its shattered eye socket.

Puchi!

The blade pierced the bear’s brain.

Zhou Jing twisted his wrist as though he could feel the sensation of his brain tissue being minced through the blade.

He then withdrew his saber, bringing out a mess of blood and brain matter.

The Claw Rending Bears instantly froze, and its huge body finally fell.

Boom!!!

The ground shook.

This bear was now dead.

Zhou Jing rolled to the ground and got up lightly. He looked at the corpse of the Claw Rending Bear, clenching his fists in excitement.

Good job,?KS¹?successful!

“Good job! We killed this monster!”

The hunters perked up in excitement.

However, before they could cheer, Weber, who was restraining the team in the distance, spat out a mouthful of blood before shouting out.

“Don’t just stand there, kill the other one too!”

According to his original plan, one party would restrain while another party would attack. After killing one of them, Weber had estimated that the hunters would be in a bad state and should retreat.

With the bear’s rough skin and thick flesh, Weber thought that it would take a long time for the attacking team to have any results, but he did not expect the novice hunter to be so fierce. He immediately broke apart the deadlock in the situation and helped the attacking team quickly get rid of one bear.

After all, Zhou Jing was a newbie, so Weber did not have much hope for him. He did not expect such a pleasant surprise.

Because of Zhou Jing, most of the hunters’ stamina was still well preserved, and their injuries were not serious.

The results were remarkable!

Weber immediately realized that the situation was quite favorable. While secretly marveling at Zhou Jing’s ability, he immediately adjusted his tactics.

There was no need to retreat. He would kill the other Claw Rending Bear here and completely resolve this threat!
