And in that instant.
Lin Guang suddenly slid the tip of his right foot on the ground, as if drawing a circle on the earth.
In a flash, the Ethereal Crystals that had been "accidentally" scattered on the ground shattered with a roar, transforming into raging flas that rose around him.
Just like a barrier!
The intangible flas should not have been able to stop the impending attack from that cold gleam behind him. Enduring pain is a basic skill for assassins, but the mont the mysterious Spirit Beast behind him touched the flas, it suddenly let out a cry of pain: "Squeak, squeak!"
But as Lin Guang turned around trying to see it clearly, it once again maneuvered its body, hiding in Lin Guang's blind spot.
"What? Such power?!"
"I didn't expect, you youngster, that you would have a body-protecting spiritual artifact... The na of a genius is truly deserved."
"Fortunately, I have never underestimated any opponent."
From behind a tree not far away, a figure finally stepped out, walking slowly on the grass. He wore a black cloak and looked around forty, with eyes protruding like those of a bulging goldfish.
Lin Guang took a deep breath across the wall of fire, staring coldly at him. Naturally, he wouldn't explain that he had exerted all his strength, using the Fire Attribute Ether Crystal to push the temperature of the Samadhi True Fire to its limit.
This outburst couldn't last long. His Spiritual Power would be completely depleted, then he would faint.
Lin Guang was truly in an extrely passive position now.
Indeed, the opponent noticed this and sneered, "This is the Spiritual Fire, right? With your Spiritual Power, how long can this level of defense last?"
He raised his hand again, a dim light flickered in his eyes.
"Aka, keep stalling him."
The pink mist shone brightly again, seemingly charging at a leisurely pace, trying to maximize its power.
Lin Guang squinted his eyes slightly, ready to respond to possible attacks from both front and back at any mont.
However, at this mont.
In his arms, the shivering Lily suddenly stopped trembling.
She suddenly poked her head out from Lin Guang's embrace, as if having made so decision, letting out a childish yet firm cry.
"Woo——"
A faint radiance began to emit from her body!
In an instant, not only did Lin Guang's actions halt, even the actions of the Akalin Demon paused, and the fierce-looking middle-aged man displayed a look of excitent.
"Finally, no longer hiding?"
Lin Guang was surprised to find.
Under the glow, Lily's form changed slightly. Her once slightly dim golden fur now shone brilliantly, and most unbelievably, her tails were forming piece by piece from nothingness behind her.
Starting from one, growing in number, until there were actually nine fluffy yellow fox tails.
Nine-tails!
It turned its head and exchanged a glance with Lin Guang, its eyes full of apology and sha, and it let out a soft cry.
"Woo——"
"What, realizing you've dragged your master down and can't sit still any longer?"
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Guang, seemingly sincere, "A genius as prominent as you dying outside would surely trigger an investigation, which wouldn't benefit . How about we both step back a little?"
"Kid, give it to , and I'll spare you a path of life, how's that?"
—Of course, there was no way he would truly let Lin Guang go.
But the middle-aged man's initial goal was not for Lin Guang to agree anyway.
The young man before him didn't seem so naïve.
He rely wanted to create hesitation to make it easier to strike... that's all.
However, after he finished speaking, he found that Lin Guang didn't show the slightest panic.
As Lin Guang continued to take deep breaths, a faintly morbid excitent and joy erged on his face.
He was smiling.
At such a life-and-death mont, he was actually smiling with excitent.
—Because at this mont, the Heart of Terra in his Sea of Spirit was vibrating intensely, much like when he encountered Vishdair, sending signals of hunger and excitent.
And his Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence could finally see Lily's true information!
Lin Guang's complexion grew paler, yet he seed to harbor no fear, but rather, with a radiant to bizarre smile, he looked at the man and spoke: "Indeed, I cannot maintain it for long."
"But… I know how to make you panic."
In an instant, an extrely ominous feeling arose in the heart of the cloaked man.
As if grasping the only way to break the deadlock at that very mont, Lin Guang suddenly lifted Lily, gazing straight into her wide, surprised eyes, and softly said:
"Lily, don't be afraid."
"I'm here!"
With a brief encrypted ssage in ancient Great Xia language, a gentle and sacred white light emanated from Lin Guang's chest, connecting with the little nine-tailed fox.
"How dare you?!"
The cloaked man's face changed drastically. A contracted Spirit Beast's value would plunge instantly in every aspect, "Spiritual Blade! Poisonous Sting!"
The Akalin Demon also sensed its master's anger, a pale pink glow gathered on it, and soon an invisible Spiritual Blade ford in front of it, then shot out abruptly.
Lin Guang ignored it and clenched his fist instead.
In an instant, while maintaining the fully focused contract, Lin Guang forcibly activated his skills!
It was like being smashed in the head with a hamr, an unbearable pain rushed over him, causing blood to overflow from his ears and nose due to the excessive spiritual overload. Yet, his right arm, like the eye of a typhoon, absorbed the blazing fla barrier with his right fist, then swiftly whipped around to punch a certain spot behind him!
Boom!!!
"Screech!"
At that mont, as Lin Guang's Explosion Fist hit, the assassin finally revealed himself—
A ghostly rag doll wrapped in what looked like a piece of gray torn fabric, with eyes like black holes, and only heavy shadows visible inside, with two small wings on its back.
It was these seemingly harmless wings that had just attacked Lin Guang.
Green Potential, Shadow Wing Demon.
Level 19.
At the sa ti the punch hit the enemy behind him, an air-tearing sound ca from behind Lin Guang as well—the Spiritual Blade had arrived!
Thanks to the Tier Two Spiritual Artifact, the Red Lotus Gloves, gifted to him by Doctor Kaiwen, Lin Guang was able to use the Explosion Fist while maintaining the contract, but that was his limit. It was a stretch to use a barrier at the sa ti.
He was unable to dodge it.
Yet, since Lin Guang dared to do it, he naturally had his reasons.
The next mont, a semi-transparent barrier spread from the pendant on his chest—that was a Tier Two life-saving Spiritual Artifact he got from Principal Liu during an exchange competition—it forcibly blocked the attack.
"What?!" The cloaked man widened his eyes, but seeing Lin Guang, whose ears and nose already began to bleed, and then looking at the Shadow Wing Demon, which wobbled, floated up again from the ground, although smoke billowed from its orifices, but it hadn't lost combat ability, he couldn't help but sneer, "Then let's do it again!"
Contracting isn't that easy. All he had to do before the contract was finalized was to chop off Lin Guang's head and...
"No!!!"
"Damn it, stop!"
In the next mont, the cloaked man's bulging eyes seed about to pop out, as the light of the contract quickly faded, returning to Lin Guang's chest, symbolizing the completion of the contract.
This is the contracting speed of a mastery-level Equal Contract Technique, with Lily offering no resistance, the contract was completed in less than ten seconds.

"w!"
Lily softly whimpered in his arms.
At this mont, while feeling the added will in the Spiritual Link, Lin Guang and Lily shared a sense of each other's emotions.
To make Spirit Beast Hunters so persistent, Lily indeed had purple legendary potential!
Although he didn't mind his partner's initial potential, who wouldn't want high potential?
Regaining his senses, he saw the two bulging eyes of the cloaked man, seemingly still not accepting reality, Lin Guang smirked, a mockingly sarcastic smile forming on his blood-infused face, "Thank you."
"If it weren't for your pressure, I wouldn't have been forced to contract with it so urgently."
"Damn damn damn damn, you're fucking dead!"
