"Luo Feng, this Crystalline Fla Lion is extraordinary. It seems to have mutated. Its strength is rapidly approaching the peak of the ninth Heavenly Court Realm; we are no match for it."
Her emotions sowhat stabilized, Yuan Ying glanced at the Crystalline Fla Lion across from them. Her white teeth bit her red lips as she took a step forward and stood protectively in front of Luo Feng.
"I’ll hold it off for a mont; you should leave here," Yuan Ying spoke hastily, determination in her gaze.
From the attack monts ago, Yuan Ying was certain she wasn’t a match for the behemoth before them. Whoever could escape now, should.
No answer ca, but suddenly footsteps sounded. Luo Feng had sohow moved in front of Yuan Ying.
Luo Feng shook his head, his calm tone filled with resolve. "If I leave by myself, what’s the difference between that and running away?"
Yuan Ying was taken aback. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and then her Daii knitted slightly.
"Luo Feng, now is not the ti for stubbornness. You need to get out of here quickly. I’m not sure how much longer I can hold it off. If we drag this out, neither of us will be able to get away."
Luo Feng turned his head, a smile in his eyes. He patted the anxious Yuan Ying on the shoulder and chuckled, "Don’t worry, I can handle it."
Yuan Ying’s gaze fird.
The young man before her was clearly much younger, yet his calm and composed deanor at this mont gave her an inexplicable sense of peace. It was as if he were a general about to set off on a campaign; his valor left Yuan Ying montarily stunned.
"But..." Yuan Ying still wanted to urge Luo Feng to leave.
"Since you were protecting just now, it’s my turn to protect you."
Luo Feng chuckled, not waiting for Yuan Ying to speak again. He turned, his gaze icy as he faced the approaching Crystalline Fla Lion.
ROAR...
With a stomp, ten Qi Dragons rose from beneath Luo Feng’s feet amid a dragon’s cry. His figure shot forward, charging directly at the Crystalline Fla Lion.
ROAR!
Having failed twice to kill the detestable human before it, the Crystalline Fla Lion’s eyes seethed with fury. Now, seeing Luo Feng draw near, it unleashed a great roar and spat out a dozen fiery Yuan Qi balls, sealing off the space Luo Feng occupied.
"Watch out!"
Seeing this, Yuan Ying grew anxious. She let out a stifled groan, and a trickle of fresh blood flowed from the corner of her rosy lips.
She had been lightly injured in her previous clash with the Crystalline Fla Lion but had hidden it so Luo Feng wouldn’t notice.
Taking a shallow breath, Yuan Ying gripped her Cold Pheasant Saber tightly, pushing her Yuan Qi to its limits, ready to intervene if Luo Feng couldn’t hold on.
However, a surprising scene unfolded before her.
Facing the rapidly approaching Yuan Qi fireballs, Luo Feng’s gaze was icy. Pouring his Yuan Qi into his Rage Fla Knife, a potent Qi Force whistled out, and the crimson blade erupted with a cold blade glow many ters long.
"Slash!"
With a low cry, Luo Feng raised his Rage Fla Knife and unleashed a powerful slash.
The imnse blade glow swept out with overwhelming and domineering power, carrying a crushing force.
BOOM!
Amidst the thunderous sound, the dozen formidable Yuan Qi fireballs were directly cleaved apart, vanishing without a trace.
SWISH!
The residual blade glow carved a terrifying Slash Mark many ters long beside the Crystalline Fla Lion’s feet, sending rock fragnts flying.
Witnessing this, Yuan Ying, standing nearby, stared wide-eyed, her pretty face filled with shock and disbelief.
She had been wounded by the Crystalline Fla Lion’s Yuan Qi fireballs just monts before, so their power was deeply seared into her mory.
She had never imagined that a dozen such fireballs could be so effortlessly obliterated by Luo Feng’s seemingly casual slash.
So this is his true strength... Yuan Ying muttered softly, her lips slightly parted, as if in a trance.
The reality before her was a trendous shock.
Just monts ago, she had believed she was the one protecting Luo Feng.
But what unfolded before her now was like a sheep she had been protecting suddenly transforming into a ferocious behemoth! It was utterly unbelievable.
As images of their earlier encounters with Demon Beasts flashed through her mind, a helpless smile touched Yuan Ying’s lips. So he was the one protecting all along.
ROAR!
Seeing the Slash Mark by its feet, the Crystalline Fla Lion felt its dignity challenged. Unprecedented rage flared in its eyes. It roared, and the fierce Qi Force shook the entire mine tunnel as a ten-ter-high pillar of crimson fire erupted from its body.
BAM!
Its four hooves slamd the ground, and the Crystalline Fla Lion’s massive body transford into a crimson streak, lunging at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng’s eyes flickered. His blade intent intensified, containing within it the essence of wind and thunder.
"Skyfall Thunder!"
BOOM!
He slashed with his Rage Fla Knife. A massive, brilliant blade glow, like a mountain, accompanied the strike. A formidable aura, as if a mountain were crashing down, dominated the space within the mine tunnel. In that instant, it seed only his slash existed.
The two terrifying torrents of Qi Force t instantly in mid-air. The mont they collided, the surrounding space seed to congeal.
BOOM!
After a brief silence, a thunderous explosion erupted, like a clap of thunder from a clear sky.
The colossal blade glow clashed against the Crystalline Fla Lion’s fiery Demon Qi. Both released terrifying energies, grinding against each other, and the space at their intersection visibly distorted.
WHOOSH!
Yuan Ying tapped her feet lightly on the ground, her figure gracefully retreating. She only stopped when she was a hundred ters away.
Her beautiful eyes fixed on Luo Feng, who was locked in a standoff with the Crystalline Fla Lion, Yuan Ying felt shock after shock.
She had initially thought the Crystalline Fla Lion had already unleashed its full strength, but now it was clear that wasn’t the case at all.
The power of this strike was even more terrifying than before; the aftershocks alone filled her with trepidation. How dreadful!
What surprised her even more was that Luo Feng could actually withstand such a terrifying blow!
Is he truly only at the mid-stage of the ninth Heavenly Court Realm?
Her gaze fixed on the young man standing before the Crystalline Fla Lion, Yuan Ying’s beautiful eyes grew distant, lost in thought.
In her years of wandering the rtiad, she had seen countless gifted and exceptional young talents.
Yet, Luo Feng was the only one who had ever made such an impact on her.
Demon Beasts are physically more robust. He might struggle to hold out if this stalemate continues,
Watching the two locked in confrontation, Yuan Ying resolved to lend Luo Feng her aid.
Just then, Luo Feng moved again.
Seeing its fiery Demon Qi block his blade glow, Luo Feng was slightly taken aback. This Crystalline Fla Lion was stronger than he had anticipated.
However, it was still no match for him.
A cold smirk touched Luo Feng’s lips. He glanced at the Crystalline Fla Lion, balled his left fist, and struck out fiercely.
VMMMM!
The air vibrated like disturbed water as a strange fist-generated Qi Force spread out. The fiery Demon Qi imdiately began to tremble violently.
"Slash!"
Seizing the opportunity, Luo Feng slashed out again.
SHIICK!
The cold blade glow sliced through the Crystalline Fla Lion’s protective Demon Qi and struck its body, producing a sharp, tallic clang and leaving behind a white Slash Mark over a foot long.
Seeing the Slash Mark on the Crystalline Fla Lion, Luo Feng’s eyes revealed his astonishnt. Such strong defense!
With his current Saber Technique, he could easily cleave through the Protective Gang Energy of an ordinary martial artist at the late stage of the Heavenly Court Realm. He hadn’t expected to be unable to even harm the Crystalline Fla Lion.
This Crystalline Fla Lion is indeed quite strange, Luo Feng’s eyes flickered. He then gave a cold smile. Since that’s the case, I’ll slowly wear down your defenses. Let’s see how many of my slashes you can withstand!
At this thought, Luo Feng’s Yuan Qi surged, and a faint sound of wind and thunder seed to emanate from within his body.
BOOM!
Luo Feng stepped forward, his aura like a mountain. The Rage Fla Knife in his hand slashed out repeatedly, each strike seemingly slow yet incredibly fast.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...
Imnse blade glows, like flying snow, slashed out one after another.
Though the attack angles of these blade glows differed, they all landed on the exact sa spot on the Crystalline Fla Lion’s body. The white mark grew larger, and the Crystalline Fla Lion’s crystal-like skin gradually cracked open.
Such sophisticated Saber Technique! Yuan Ying watched Luo Feng with so surprise.
If before she had rely acknowledged Luo Feng’s strength, now she was genuinely starting to admire him.
Her own Saber Technique, the Falling Flower Snow Moon, was one she had created herself, so she had always been very confident in her skills.
But now, seeing Luo Feng’s Saber Technique, she felt as if her eyes had been opened to new possibilities.
To control slashes from different angles to strike the sa spot—this kind of Saber Technique was sothing she had never seen before. It even gave her many new insights.
This person has an extraordinary talent for the Saber Technique, Yuan Ying thought.
The Crystalline Fla Lion retreated continuously, the intense pain from its wounds driving it into a frenzied struggle, a mix of terror and fury in its eyes.
However, the blade glows rained down like a torrential storm, giving it no respite.
ROAR!
With a furious howl, the Crystalline Fla Lion’s eyes glead with a bloodthirsty light. Disregarding its injuries, its entire body erupted in a blinding crimson radiance, sending waves of scorching heat pulsing outwards.
It’s that sa attack as before! Yuan Ying’s pretty face paled slightly as she watched the Crystalline Fla Lion’s aura escalate. She had nearly died to this attack earlier.
"Dream on!" Luo Feng sneered. He slamd his fist onto the ground—it was the Sky Collapse Fist’s Sky Collapse Earth Splitting! A surging internal energy spread through the ground.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...
The two impacts collided beneath the earth. The roiling magma was forced back by the fist’s Qi Force, brutally slamming into the still-astonished Crystalline Fla Lion.
CRASH!
The Crystalline Fla Lion’s colossal body was sent flying, smashing into the adjacent rock wall and creating a large crater. Clear cracks even appeared on its crystalline skin.
AWOO! AWOO! AWOO! AWOO! AWOO...
Suffering such a heavy blow, the Crystalline Fla Lion let out a series of mournful howls. The sound waves ford tangible ripples, causing the rock walls to crack and crumble.
WHOOSH!
Taking advantage of the chaos, the Crystalline Fla Lion sprang up and fled towards the depths of the mine tunnel with a speed that belied its gargantuan size.
The human before it was terrifyingly powerful; its own killing moves couldn’t harm him in the slightest. The Crystalline Fla Lion dared not linger a mont longer.
"Stay." Luo Feng’s voice was indifferent. He tapped his foot on the ground and, like a bolt of lightning, shot off in pursuit.
VMMMM!
A phantom blade shadow enveloped Luo Feng.
"Slash!"
His gaze locked onto the Crystalline Fla Lion, and Luo Feng slashed out.
As the Rage Fla Knife fell, a blade glow over ten ters long viciously struck the Crystalline Fla Lion’s existing wound.
CRACK!
With that crisp sound, the Crystalline Fla Lion’s original wound was torn wider, now extending from its flank all the way to its neck.
The massive, running body shuddered to a halt. The Crystalline Fla Lion’s head tumbled to the ground. Crimson blood gushed out, splashing onto the earth with a sizzling sound, instantly lting the rock.
