Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 165 – Perfect Support

Roar—!

A foul wind rushed forward.

The Level 5 giant bear, like a small collapsing mountain, charged toward Long Yan with a suffocating pressure.

The ground trembled, and the strong wind swept up withered branches and dead leaves.

Long Yan did not retreat.

He bent his knees slightly, the earth beneath his feet instantly shattering. Like an arrow loosed from a bow, he shot forward to meet the charge head-on.

“Courting death!”

Long Yan let out a low shout. The muscles in his arms, covered in black Dragon Scales, bulged, and his sharp Dragon Claws sliced through the air, leaving a chilling, cold glint.

Bang!

The two figures, one large and one small, collided violently.

The dull thud of flesh on flesh made Lin Fan, hiding behind a tree, raise an eyebrow.

This kid is tough.

Even with his Dragon Bone dug out, what flowed in this body was still the blood of a dragon.

The giant bear’s massive body was actually forced to a halt for a moment. It roared in fury, its fan-like paw whistling as it tore through the air, swiping horizontally at Long Yan’s head.

If that blow landed, it could flatten even a steel ingot into an iron disk.

A ruthless glint flashed in Long Yan’s eyes as he prepared to take the hit in exchange for an opening to attack.

Just then.

Hum.

An extremely faint, yet incredibly precise, ripple of spiritual energy silently pierced the giant bear’s mind.

The giant bear’s bloodshot, frenzied eyes suddenly lost focus for an instant.

In its perception, the Long Yan before it seemed to have abruptly shifted half a meter to the left.

Consequently, its killing blow also veered to the left.

Whoosh—!

Rеаԁ оո ΚαtRеаdinɡСаfе

The bear’s paw grazed past Long Yan’s nose, the force of the wind it generated stinging his cheeks.

It missed?

Long Yan’s pupils constricted. Although he didn’t know why this stupid bear would make such a low-level mistake, he would not let this golden opportunity slip by.

“Die!”

With a furious roar, Long Yan took advantage of the opening and pressed into the giant bear’s embrace.

Pfft!

The black Dragon Claws plunged into the giant bear’s soft abdomen without any resistance, sinking in up to the hilt.

Roar!!!

The giant bear let out a blood-curdling scream. The intense pain instantly snapped it out of the mental interference.

It swung its arms wildly, trying to crush the damned little bug in its grasp.

“Su Rou!”

Long Yan bellowed.

He didn’t need to shout; Lin Fan had already made his move.

A playful curve appeared on the lips of Lin Fan, who was still behind the tree. A bewitching light flashed in his amber eyes.

Nine-tailed celestial fox bloodline, activate.

It wasn’t a forceful control; that was a method for dealing with low-level creatures.

Against a thick-skinned Level 5 Demonic Beast like this, the most effective method was—fear amplification.

Within the giant bear’s originally frenzied sea of consciousness, a tremor originating from the depths of its bloodline suddenly emerged.

It was as if what stood before it was not a dragon-man, but a colossal, primordial beast from ancient times.

The descending paw froze in mid-air for a split second.

Even if it was just for a moment, it was enough for Long Yan.

“Tear it open for me!”

Long Yan put his strength into his arms, and the Dragon Claws embedded in the giant bear’s body violently ripped to the sides.

Reаԁ οո KаtRеаԁinɡCafе

Screech—!

The sickening sound of tearing muscle rang out.

A shower of blood rained down.

The giant bear’s tough abdomen was brutally torn open, creating a massive gash. Its internal organs, mixed with blood, spilled onto the ground.

Its enormous body swayed, and the red light in its eyes quickly dimmed.

Boom!

The giant bear crashed to the ground like a toppling mountain of gold or a collapsing pillar of jade, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The forest returned to a dead silence.

Long Yan stood beside the corpse, panting heavily.

His black Dragon Scales were covered in blood, which dripped from his fingertips.

He had won.

And he had won far more easily than he had imagined.

Long Yan looked at his own hands in disbelief.

That momentary pause and mistake from the giant bear were just too strange.

“Brother Long Yan!”

A cry filled with surprise and admiration broke the silence.

Lin Fan ran out from behind the tree, his little white shoes rustling as they stepped on the leaf-strewn ground.

He ran up to Long Yan and stared at the massive corpse, his amber eyes wide with the shock of someone who had “never seen the world.”

“So… so amazing!”

Lin Fan covered his mouth, his voice trembling slightly, as if frightened by the bloody scene, yet also captivated by Long Yan’s heroic display.

“Brother Long Yan actually… killed a Level 5 Demonic Beast so quickly?”

Long Yan turned to look at the petite Fox Clan Girl before him.

The ferocity in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a complex expression.

“Was that you?”

Long Yan looked at Lin Fan, his voice a little hoarse.

Lin Fan blinked, a look of innocence on his face. “What?”

“Just now… when the giant bear paused.” Long Yan pointed at the corpse on the ground. “And that palm strike that missed.”

Lin Fan lowered his head, twiddling his index fingers together, and said softly in embarrassment, “I… I just tried to interfere with its vision and emotions… I don’t know if it was useful…”

He looked up, glancing cautiously at Long Yan. “Brother Long Yan, did I… make things worse?”

Long Yan took a deep breath.

Make things worse?

That was divine assistance!

If not for those two crucial interferences, he would have had to sustain at least minor injuries to kill this giant bear, and it might have even been a pyrrhic victory.

But now, he was almost completely unscathed.

This little fox’s innate ability was actually this strong?

No.

Long Yan looked into Lin Fan’s clear eyes.

It wasn’t just the talent.

It was the timing.

This little fox’s sensitivity to the flow of battle was terrifyingly high.

“No.”

Long Yan shook his head, a rare hint of admiration appearing on his perpetually tense face.

“You were a great help.”

Upon hearing this, a brilliant smile instantly blossomed on Lin Fan’s face.

The smile was too sweet, too pure.

It made Long Yan’s heart skip a beat.

“That’s great!”

Lin Fan clapped his hands happily, his fox tail wagging cheerfully behind him. “As long as I could help Brother Long Yan!”

Long Yan averted his gaze and turned toward the giant bear’s corpse.

“Get the Crystal Core.”

He crouched down, his Dragon Claws skillfully dissecting the giant bear’s head.

A goose-egg-sized crystal core, emitting an earthy yellow glow, rolled out.

A Level 5 Crystal Core.

Long Yan held the crystal, feeling the surging energy within it, his palm trembling slightly.

Although his Dragon Bone was gone and his absorption efficiency was greatly reduced.

This was, after all, a Level 5 Crystal Core.

As long as there were enough of them…

As long as he could accumulate enough energy…

He might truly be able to return to his former peak.

“Brother Long Yan.”

Lin Fan moved closer, crouching beside Long Yan and looking curiously at the crystal. “Is this… a Level 5 Crystal Core? Su Rou has never seen such a high-level crystal before.”

“Yes, this is very important for me to recover my strength.”

Long Yan clenched his fist around the crystal and stood up.

He looked into the depths of the forest.

The fog there was thicker, and the hidden dangers were greater.

But at this moment, an unprecedented fire burned in his eyes.

He hadn’t dared to venture deeper before, afraid that if he died in there, that despicable pair would continue to live their lives freely.

But now, with this little fox’s support, perhaps he could give it a try.
