Rise of the Otherworld.

Facing the huge and terrifying monster in front of him, Lin Yu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He gripped the sword in his hand tightly, staring at the monster's every move, and all the muscles in his body tensed up, entering a fighting state.

The monster roared, shaking the entire cave slightly. It rushed towards Lin Yu with heavy steps. The steps landed with a sound, and each step made the ground sink slightly. Lin Yu dodged to the side and nimbly avoided the monster's first attack. The monster's claws brushed against the corner of his clothes, bringing a gust of wind that scratched his cheek painfully.

Taking advantage of the moment when the monster's attack missed, Lin Yu quickly counterattacked and stabbed the monster's leg with his sword. However, the sword stabbed into the monster's scales, only splashing a few sparks, unable to cause any substantial damage. Lin Yu only felt a numbness in his arm, and his heart sank, but he was not discouraged at all.

He used the skills he had cultivated during this period of time to constantly move around the monster, like an agile cheetah, looking for its flaws. Although the monster's attack was fierce, its movements were slightly slow. Lin Yu relied on his flexible body to avoid the fatal attacks again and again.

The monster seemed to be enraged by Lin Yu's provocation, and its attacks became more ferocious and crazy. It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a black smoke. The smoke instantly filled the entire cave, greatly obstructing Lin Yu's vision. Lin Yu's heart tightened, and he quickly held his breath to prevent inhaling the poisonous smoke.

In the smoke, Lin Yu could only rely on the sound and the sound of the wind caused by the monster's attack to determine its location. Suddenly, he felt a powerful force coming from the left. He quickly jumped back, but was still swept by the monster's tail. The whole person flew out and hit the wall of the cave heavily.

Lin Yu felt a sweetness in his throat and a mouthful of blood spurted out. He endured the severe pain and struggled to stand up. At this moment, his clothes were tattered and his body was covered with wounds of all sizes, but his eyes remained firm.

"I can't fall like this!" Lin Yu roared in his heart.

He rushed towards the monster again, and this time he found that when the monster attacked, there would be a momentary defensive loophole on the right side of its abdomen. Lin Yu seized this opportunity, concentrated all his strength, and stabbed the sword fiercely into the right side of the monster's abdomen.

The sword finally pierced the monster's body, and black blood gushed out. The monster roared in pain and twisted its body wildly, trying to throw Lin Yu out.

Lin Yu held the sword tightly, refusing to let go. The monster swung it hard, and Lin Yu was thrown into the air. Just as he was about to land, he used the force of the fall to once again plunge the sword deep into the monster's body.

The monster struggled for a few times and finally fell down, motionless.

Lin Yu panted and collapsed on the ground, sweat and blood mixed together and flowed down his cheeks. He looked at the dead monster, his heart filled with relief at having survived the disaster.

"It's finally over..." Lin Yu muttered to himself.

After resting for a while, Lin Yu forced himself to walk to the monster's corpse with his tired body, and found an inner elixir emitting a strange light from its body.

"This might be a treasure." Lin Yu thought and put away the inner elixir.

Then, he picked up the peerless martial arts book and left the cave.

As he walked out of the valley, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, giving him a golden glow.

Lin Yu knew that this was just a small victory on his path of cultivation, and there would be more challenges waiting for him in the future.
