Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

The owner of these eyes was a black panther that was over a meter tall.

Despite its small size, this black panther is incredibly fast.

Therefore, this black panther also has another name: Black Whirlwind.

As Black Whirlwind moved forward, its body seemed as light as cotton, and its four legs landed on the ground with almost no sound.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan was completely unaware of the black whirlwind that was secretly following him.

At that moment, the black whirlwind had already entered within ten meters of Chu Yunfan's body.

At that very moment, Black Whirlwind exerted force on all four legs and leaped forward with incredible speed, like a black gust of wind, appearing behind Chu Yunfan in the blink of an eye.

As Chu Yunfan was moving forward, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head.

At that moment, he knew there was danger behind him.

However, before Chu Yunfan could draw his sword, Black Whirlwind's sharp right front claw had already reached the back of his head.

If that claw lands, it will surely result in a bloody head injury.

Fortunately, Chu Yunfan remained calm. At the critical moment, he squatted down and then rolled away from the spot.

A strand of hair fell from mid-air, illustrating just how critical Chu Yunfan's situation had been.

If his movements had been even a fraction of a second slower, what would have been severed would not have been just a hair.

However, Chu Yunfan's current crisis is not yet over.

Just as he rolled to the side, Black Whirlwind, having missed its target, had already adjusted its stance and pounced on him again.

The black whirlwind was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already reached Chu Yunfan.

Just then, Chu Yunfan braced himself against the ground with both hands, did a somersault, and instantly soared into the air, avoiding Black Whirlwind's pounce.

Black Whirlwind wasn't stupid either. Seeing that Chu Yunfan was in mid-air with nowhere to put his weight on, it turned around and looked up, its sharp fangs snapping at Chu Yunfan.

However, Chu Yunfan had anticipated this scene long before he used the Carp Leap.

He stretched out his right hand and pressed it precisely on Black Whirlwind's forehead. Then, using the momentum, he flipped over and landed on Black Whirlwind's back, gripping the other's body tightly.

This time, Black Whirlwind was completely helpless against Chu Yunfan.

Because the Black Whirlwind's most powerful features are its claws and sharp beak, and now that Chu Yunfan is on its back, neither of these weapons can attack him.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan, whose position had been reversed, revealed a knowing smile.

"Now it's my turn to attack!"

As the voice rang out, Chu Yunfan clenched his left fist and forcefully punched Black Whirlwind in the waist.

Most felines and canines share a common characteristic: a head of bronze, a mouth of iron, and a waist of tofu.

The waist is the weakest point of their defense.

Although Black Whirlwind is a powerful demon beast, it still cannot escape this characteristic.

Therefore, when Chu Yunfan's fist landed, Black Whirlwind let out a scream, and his body went limp, almost collapsing to the ground.

Black Whirlwind tried to struggle, but Chu Yunfan took advantage of its weakness and thrust out the Xuan Tie sword in his hand.

The next second, the Xuan Tie Sword pierced Black Whirlwind's abdomen.

The screams from Black Whirlwind abruptly ceased, and his body collapsed to the ground, convulsing for a moment before falling silent.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan wanted to put Black Whirlwind's corpse into his storage ring.

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a familiar sound of wind coming from behind him.

Without hesitation, he charged forward and left the spot.

When he turned around, he discovered that an even larger black whirlwind was rushing towards him.

This black whirlwind is larger and faster than the previous one.

If Chu Yunfan hadn't just experienced a sneak attack by Black Whirlwind and been alert to the sudden sound of wind, he wouldn't have been able to avoid it in advance.

At this moment, he has probably already been knocked down by the black whirlwind.

Before Chu Yunfan could make a move, Black Whirlwind landed and pounced on him again.

"This black whirlwind is too fast; I can only see its afterimage. I can't fight it head-on; I have to outsmart it!"

In an instant, Chu Yunfan determined his strategy for dealing with the black whirlwind. He then sidestepped and narrowly avoided the whirlwind's attack.

"Unfortunately, I wasn't fast enough, otherwise I could have finished it off in one go!"

As the black whirlwind darted past him, Chu Yunfan could only sigh helplessly, because the opponent was too fast and he didn't have time to draw his sword.

Immediately afterwards, Black Whirlwind made a nimble turn in mid-air, and as soon as it landed, it pounced on him again.

This time, because the distance was too close, Chu Yunfan had no room to dodge.

With the gleaming claws right in front of him, Chu Yunfan finally took out the snow-white sword from his storage ring.

As soon as the sword was drawn, the temperature around Chu Yunfan's body dropped several degrees instantly.

Even the speed of the Black Whirlwind seemed to be affected, and its claws, which were reaching for Chu Yunfan, paused for a moment.

In that instant, the snow-white longsword had already pierced Black Whirlwind's body.

In no time, Black Whirlwind was turned into an ice sculpture.

Looking at the snow-white longsword in his hand, Chu Yunfan's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

The precious sword that Nalan Xue gave him has saved him countless times along the way.

The beauty is gone, but every time he sees this sword, he thinks of her, as if she were still by his side.

Memories of yesterday suddenly flooded my mind; that breathtaking kiss seemed to be right before my eyes.

After a moment, Chu Yunfan sighed softly, looking at the snow-white longsword in his hand, and said:

"Whether Xuehan is your name or hers, from now on, I will call you Xuehanjian!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Snow Cold Sword automatically emitted a clear sword cry, as if agreeing with Chu Yunfan's way of addressing it.

"It really is a sword with a spirit!"

Chu Yunfan smiled slightly, then put the Snow Cold Sword back into his storage ring.

He came here to gain experience, so naturally he had to rely on his own abilities to deal with the demonic beasts. The Snow Frost Sword could only be used in critical moments, otherwise it would lose its purpose for training.

Moreover, a precious sword is attractive, and carrying one makes one an easy target for those with ulterior motives.

Wang Lijun has already taught him a lesson on this point with his own life.

Chu Yunfan then stored the corpses of the two Black Whirlwinds in his storage ring and set off again.

For the next period of time, Chu Yunfan did not encounter any major attacks. He easily dealt with some weak snakes, insects, and rodents.

Suddenly, Chu Yunfan stopped in his tracks.

Of course, he wasn't attacked, but rather he found what he needed.

"It really is Iron Bone Grass!"

After careful observation, Chu Yunfan finally confirmed that the patch of grass not far in front of him was indeed growing Iron Bone Grass.

Ironbone Grass gets its name from its hard, iron-like body. Its appearance is also easy to identify because its color is grayish-green, which is clearly different from ordinary grass.

The only use of Ironbone Grass is as a key ingredient in refining Body Tempering Pills.

This is why Ironbone Grass appeared on the outer sect mission list of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.

However, after discovering the Iron Bone Grass, Chu Yunfan did not immediately go to pick it, but carefully observed his surroundings.

Because Ironbone Grass is also considered a first-tier spiritual herb.

In the wild, wherever there are medicinal herbs, there will surely be demonic beasts.

Because demonic beasts are extremely sensitive to the scent of spiritual herbs, they can find them more easily than humans.

And crucially, even demonic beasts need elixirs.
