Bai Lixuan was right. Demonic beasts’ patience was limited. Half an hour after he left, a powerful roar echoed in the forest. It was a four legged beast with crimson fur and eyes. It was shaped like a tiger, equipped with sharp fangs and claws.
Shortly after, two more roars sounded out. It didn’t take long for the other three beasts to arrive. The last demonic beast was rather sly and chose not to move for now. It was ambition, and its target wasn’t only Lin Yun. Even the three other demonic beasts were its targets. The demonic beast licked its lips and revealed a sinister smile in the darkness.
The ground trembled under the three demonic beasts’ charge. Even the sword aura Lin Yun used to shield him against the three demonic beasts’ demonic aura had shattered instantly as his bones startled to emit a crackling sound.
His body soon began to deform under the immense pressure. If it was someone else without the Dracophant Battle Physique, they would be squashed to minced meat by now. But even so, it didn’t feel great for Lin Yun. His face was pale with beads of sweat dripping down from his forehead.
He could hear the demonic beasts’ roar lingering in his ears, and he didn’t need to open his eyes to know his current situation. Facing death, Lin Yun forced all his potential out and scenes started to flash in his mind, starting from the Ferocious Tiger Fist, the incomplete Dragon-Tiger Fist, and the completed Dragon-Tiger Fist given to him by Drifting Goblet.
As the three demonic beasts approached from three different directions, no one could save Lin Yun if they came within a hundred meters of radius around him.
They gradually got closer to Lin Yun. A thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters…
The three demonic beasts revealed a sinister smile as they treated Lin Yun as a delicacy. The vigor emitted from Lin Yun was something they couldn’t resist. At the same time, images began to flash in Lin Yun’s mind.
In the end, everything disappeared as they shattered like a mirror. The dragon and tiger no longer exist in Lin Yun’s mind, replaced by a sword. When the three demonic beasts were a hundred meters away from Lin Yun, he suddenly opened his eyes.
A sword flashed in the depth of Lin Yun’s pupils, and shortly after, thirty three swords bloomed. Looking at the three demonic beasts, Lin Yun didn’t have any panic on his face. He crossed his hands together and started to form a mysterious seal, the Heavenly Seal.
When he formed the seal, thirty-three swords condensed with origin energy appeared behind Lin Yun, which arranged into a fan formation. At the same time, Lin Yun’s shattered sword aura began to gather and take form instantly. He was like a speck of light in the darkness.
Under the boundless sword aura of the Heavenly Seal, it felt as if Lin Yun had undergone nirvana. His aura forced the three demonic beasts back, and the thirty-three swords buzzed behind him, and his sword intent began to surge.
Lin Yun swept a glance at the crimson four legged beast before him, and he unleashed an unrivalled aura. “Dragon-Tiger Fist—Hundred Beast Wave!”
Lin Yun stomped his foot on the ground, and he dashed forth with his punch. His sword aura instantly manifested into a hundred beasts roaring behind him. His attack was like a sharp sword, and a ferocious beast at the same time. Everything occurred in the blink of an eye, and the Heavenly Seal was already in the demonic beast’s face.
Under the Heavenly Seal’s empowerment, Lin Yun sent the four legged beast flying away. The demonic beast knocked onto a rock, which left cracks and blood on the rocks. Clearly, the demonic beast did not suffer a fatal wound.
Lin Yun spread his arms apart, and he landed on the ground. When he turned his head back, the two demonic beasts had just reacted from the shock of the four legged demonic beast sent flying away.
“Safe.” Lin Yun smiled after he got out of the perilous situation. He had finally grasped the Heavenly Seal in the last moment before his death.
“Retreat!” With a smile, Lin Yun turned and left. He wasn’t stupid enough to fight three demonic beasts at the same time, not to mention that there was another one hidden in the darkness.
Simultaneously, the two demonic beasts had also recovered from their shock and chased after him. Behind them, the four legged demonic beasts were also in hot pursuit.
“You guys want to compete with me in speed? Come!” Lin Yun revealed a confident smile, and he landed on a tree branch with great agility. Like a breeze, he traveled through the forest with great ease. But the three demonic beasts still chased after him; they didn’t want to give up on their prey that they had waited for three days.
All the trees collapsed in their path, but Lin Yun didn’t seem concerned about the three demonic beasts chasing after him. Rather, he was feeling excited from comprehending the Heavenly Seal. Since he had finally grasped the Heavenly Seal, this meant that combining the four seals wouldn’t be far away now.
Since the three demonic beasts wanted to chase after him, then he could make use of this opportunity to temper his Seven Profound Seals. If possible, he wanted to bring it to the Manifestation Stage, which would boost his strength greatly.
A black Demon Runic Leopard came out of the darkness slowly and gracefully like a cat. It was the fourth demonic beasts who chose not to act first. It was pitch black with a pair of emerald pupils. It narrowed its eyes into slits and looked around in the forest. Gradually, it finally saw Lin Yun who was leaving.
The brimming vitality within Lin Yun’s body was a great temptation to the Demon Runic Leopard. The leopard narrowed its eyes with a cold flicker through its eyes as he followed behind. The leopard didn’t seem to be in a rush at all.
Just like that, ten days had passed in the blink of an eye. There was only the crimson four legged beast following behind Lin Yun. The two other demonic beasts have already lost their patience when they realised that they couldn’t chase after Lin Yun. Only the four legged beast was chasing after like a mad dog. It was still holding a grudge against Lin Yun about the punch from ten days ago.
Lin Yun would occasionally look back as he traveled forth with a smirk. This demonic beast was rather bold to chase after him alone, not to mention that it was still injured from his attack ten days ago. So Lin Yun was fully confident of taking it down.
He had the spiritual runes painting and the Scarletflame War Flag. But it would lose all meaning if Lin Yun utilized his trump cards. Just when Lin Yun was pondering, a cold breeze blew against his face. When Lin Yun raised his head, he realized that it was a cliff up ahead.
When the four legged beast saw the cliff, it barked out in excitement, not knowing that its death was arriving. With a leap, it pounced towards Lin Yun.
“Since there’s no more path, then let’s fight here.” Lin Yun suddenly turned around and threw out a punch like a sword. After his punch sent the demonic beast flying, Lin Yun circulated the Iris Sword Sutra, and the Iris Flower within his body bloomed.
When the demonic beast got back up on its feet, it looked at Lin Yun with shock after realizing the pressure this puny human was giving off.
“You must be courting death to come after me despite losing so much blood. You’re indeed a mad dog.” The demonic beast was weaker than Lin Yun had imagined. At this moment, the role between a prey and hunter had turned around.
A dozen miles away, a Violet Palace Realm python demonic beast was covered in wounds. It tried to struggle with all its might, but there was nothing it could do except being nailed to the ground by a sword. Its vitality was also seeping from its body.
A hundred meters away, Bai Lixuan waved his hand and summoned his sword back. When the sword returned to the sheath, a hundred sword rays exploded from the python and killed it instantly.
At the same time, the sword rays also brought the beast core out, Bai Lixuan grabbed onto it. As he looked at the beast core, he fell into deep thoughts. He was already capable of killing a Violet Palace Realm demonic beast now. What about Lin Yun? Was he dead?
