Dragon King Hall's Legend-Chapter 1640: Battle with the Golden Lion! Unexpected Guests Arrive!

"Swish, swish!!"

Lan Yi, gripping a long sword, lithely swung it, blocking a group of ferocious beasts ahead.

With her strength at the Mid Unity Realm Stage, facing this group of beasts, she was drenched in fragrant sweat, her hair fluttering, narrowly escaping danger multiple times, in a rather disheveled state.

The ferocious beasts displaying their fierceness in front of them were actually a pride of seven or eight lions, led by a male lion, extraordinarily majestic and imposing, as large as an elephant, its neck adorned with a circle of golden mane, leaping as if it were blazing golden flames.

This was a Golden Lion!

A terrifying beast with the potential to evolve into the Demon Race, its strength in the Late Stage Hedao Realm.

Let alone when Lan Yi's strength was greatly diminished inside this Secret Realm, even at her peak strength, able to manipulate Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, shake the Heaven and Earth Laws, and utilize her Divine Sense, she might still struggle to deal with this Golden Lion!

Lan Yi and Mu Jinyu originally didn't intend to provoke this Golden Lion and its pride, but upon discovering them, they were caught in a confrontation.

Reluctantly, they had to fight desperately!

After Mu Jinyu slew a few female lions with a single slash, the Golden Lion became even fiercer, its Demon Qi soaring, its claws waving, causing even the Mystic Realm Space to tremble faintly.

"Kill!"

With Lan Yi desperately blocking the Golden Lion from the front, Mu Jinyu took a moment to catch his breath, then gripped his long knife tightly, his eyes focused, flashing with cold brilliance, he slashed forward one strike after another!

"Kill!!"

He began using the Killing Character Secret Technique in conjunction with the Firewood Chopping Saber Technique, enabling him to unleash dozens of strikes in an instant.

"Swish, swish, swish!!"

The saber-light sparkled, blood spattered, accompanied by incessant, mournful wails, as the remaining five female lions were all slaughtered by Mu Jinyu.

"Boom!!"

Even the female lions, with their massive bodies, fell to the ground, crushing several towering trees behind them, dust billowed, the booming sound fiercely shook, like an earthquake.

"Roar!!"

With the female lions all slain, the Golden Lion let out an anguished, furious roar, its sound waves fiercely reverberating, shaking the mountains and rivers, instantly disintegrating and shattering all trees within a hundred miles, turning them into floating powder!

"What's going on?! Terrifying!"

"Sounds like the roar of a Golden Lion?"

"An entity with such strength, at least around the Late Stage Hedao Realm, could earn a lot of points. Should we go investigate?"

"Is it wise? Golden Lions are troublesome, especially since our cultivation is greatly weakened in this Secret Realm. Better not tempt fate!"

"Something's not right, this roar sounds sorrowful. Coupled with the recent lion roars, it seems the female lions are dead, someone is hunting the Golden Lion?"

"Anyone capable of killing the companions of a Golden Lion and surviving its initial rage must be quite powerful. Whatever the outcome after their clash with the Golden Lion, it'd be an opportunity for us to seize!"

A few thousand miles away from Mu Jinyu's battle with the Golden Lion, a five-person squad, upon hearing the distant lion roars, quickly made an accurate judgement.

Thus, they exchanged glances, deciding to go investigate. If an opportunity arose, they would wait and reap the benefits!

If the ones confronting the Golden Lion couldn't significantly weaken it, teaming up between them, escaping would still be an option.

"Roar!!"

In the battlefield, along with the Golden Lion's mournful roar, surrounding trees were obliterated, land trembled, Lan Yi, entangled in battle, bore the brunt of the sonic waves, spitting blood as she was sent flying. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

If not for Mu Jinyu intervening timely to save her and infusing her with some Blood Essence, Lan Yi would have met her demise!

"Roar!!"

Mu Jinyu, lacking the strength to both save Lan Yi and fight the Golden Lion, after catching the already airborne Lan Yi and infusing her with some Blood Essence, faced the Golden Lion's anguished roar and ferocious pounce, he had no option but to hurl Lan Yi to the ground, charging with his long knife against the Golden Lion.

"Swish, swish!!"

"Whizz, whizz!!"

Saber shadows crisscrossed, sharpness blinding, claw shadows interspersed, void trembled, as they clashed fiercely, resulting in a loud boom, sending both Mu Jinyu and the Golden Lion flying backward.

"Ow."

Struggling to rise from the ground, Lan Yi, having taken a direct hit from the sonic attack of the Golden Lion, was gravely injured, nearly facing death, had it not been for the numerous Life-Saving Treasures she wore, all simultaneously activating and disintegrating to offset the attack, she feared she'd be obliterated.

But now, there was no time to rest and heal, even if she felt little for Mu Jinyu and was indifferent to his survival, she was now tied to him by fate. If Mu Jinyu perishes to the Golden Lion, she certainly wouldn't stand a chance of survival.

Thus, after catching her breath momentarily, she hurriedly drew several Life-Saving Pills from her Storage Bag, consumed them to suppress her injuries, and with a resolute gaze, charged forward with her sword again!

"Swish, swish!!"

With Lan Yi's assistance, Mu Jinyu no longer struggled as much to fend off the Golden Lion alone and began employing the Firewood Chopping Saber Technique in a deadly counterattack.

One slash after another, causing the Golden Lion's tough hide to split, blood oozing profusely, its golden blood splattering like molten lava, leaving scorched, black pits on the ground!

However, the Golden Lion, being a formidable Exotic Species beast, even after enduring four or five strikes from Mu Jinyu, sustained only external wounds, showing no signs of fatal injury.

Of course, with such grievous injuries, the Golden Lion's speed, claw strength, and flame-spitting intensity significantly weakened compared to its initial ferocity.

Just as Mu Jinyu prepared to slowly wear down the Golden Lion, he noticed a slight twitch in his ear, hearing faint sounds of air being cut and footsteps swiftly approaching from afar.

Someone was fast approaching them!

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu's gaze sharpened, opting not to slowly exhaust the Golden Lion, but instead abruptly flared his Blood Essence, at the cost of his body's muscles tearing, unleashing over a dozen strikes in a flash!

"Swish, swish, swish!!"

Over a dozen strikes precisely hit the Golden Lion's neck, causing its massive yet sluggish body to freeze on the spot.

As a gentle breeze passed, the Golden Lion's enormous head dropped thunderously to the ground, its golden blood dripping down, radiating scalding heat like lava, scorching the earth into charred pits!

"Boom!!"

"Crash!!"

As the lion's head fell and the Golden Lion's massive corpse toppled backward, intense footsteps rapidly closed in.

"Huff, huff..."

Mu Jinyu, his body torn and bleeding, as his wounds relentlessly poured out blood, stabbed his long knife into the ground with a clang, then with a single-handed grip, slowly turned to coldly stare at this group of uninvited guests.
