Chapter 27: The Final Frenzy

  "Hmm! Hmm! Hmm......"

  The spiritual beast had not yet appeared, but the heavy footsteps had already come with that loud roar, like a giant drum beating in their hearts. Nie Kong, Bai Yuqing and Nie Qing'an exchanged a glance, their expressions all becoming solemn, the spiritual beast that was about to appear was probably going to be extremely dangerous!

  After a while, a majestic figure finally emerged slowly from the right side of the valley. The guy was at least 1.7 meters tall, with a fiery red body, a large head topped with a thick, long blood-red sharp horn, and two white, sharp fangs exposed in his slightly open mouth.

  "Unicorn Blood Lion!"

  Nie Qing's mind was greatly shocked, and four words came out of her mouth.

  Bai Yuqing's delicate face still looked calm, but her pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly. Nie Kong let out a long sigh, his mouth feeling a bit bitter.

  The Unicorn Blood Lion, a two-star peak spiritual beast, but its strength is in no way inferior to that of an ordinary three-star spiritual beast.

  Nie Kong never thought that at the critical moment, he would encounter such a big guy. With his and Bai Yuqing's and Nie Qing'an's strength, even in their heyday, they might not be able to withstand the lone horned blood lion head-on, let alone now. This time, it's likely that they won't last until the end.

  A cold gaze swept over Nie Kong and the others, as the Unicorn Blood Lion licked its snow-white teeth and walked towards the valley. At first, the Unicorn Blood Lion's footsteps were slow and leisurely, but it quickly picked up speed, and within a few seconds, it was already running with its four limbs splayed out to the sides.

  "Ahh!"

  A thunderous roar burst from its mouth, the Blood Lion suddenly accelerated, like a red thread flying towards Nie Kong and others, with a cruel killing intent in its bright red eyes. Wherever its shadow passed, it was as if a hurricane had suddenly swept through, with all the grass and trees on both sides falling down.

  In an instant, the Blood Lion was twenty meters away, charging straight at Nie Kong, as if it had seen through Nie Kong's lowest cultivation among the three.

  What! Only picking soft persimmons to squeeze?

  "Kill!"

  Nie Kong burst into a loud roar, his figure transforming into the Blood Lion as he charged forward. Bai Yuqing and Nie Qingyan didn't hesitate, swinging their iron swords to attack the Spiritual Beast from both sides. In this situation, they couldn't afford to hold back even a little bit of strength, only by working together did they have a glimmer of hope for survival.

  "Whoosh!"

  Just as he was about to collide with the Unicorn Blood Lion at high speed, Nie Kong's figure suddenly ducked down and narrowly brushed past the ground. At the moment when the Unicorn Blood Lion was about to fly over his body, Nie Kong's right fist burst out, and a "Cloud-Stacking Flower Explosion" landed on the spiritual beast.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" At the same moment, two iron swords fell heavily on the Ling Beast's back.

  "Ahh!"

  A furious roar, the Unicorn Blood Lion fell to the ground, swiftly turning its head and swinging its tail. Bai Yuqing was knocked flying by that huge head, while Nie Qingyan was also sent flying horizontally for over ten meters before heavily crashing onto a dead spiritual beast's body.

  Ignoring the struggling Bai Yuqing and Nie Qing'an, the single-horned blood lion stared straight at Nie Kong with its eyes, as if a fierce flame was burning within. Being hit couldn't bring it too much harm, but it felt a sense of humiliation as if it had been toyed with.

  For a moment, Du Jue's hatred for Nie Kong reached its peak.

  "Whoosh!"

  A red shadow flashed, and the sturdy body of the lone horned blood lion rushed to Nie Kong's front, its speed as fast as a shooting star. Nie Kong stepped on the flying flower flowing shadow, avoiding the sharp horn's thrust, but couldn't dodge the tail that rolled back, in the blink of an eye, the red tail landed on Nie Kong's chest.

  Bang!

  A surge of power came, Nie Kong was thrown more than ten meters away, his chest and mouth were covered in blood. The Blood Lion only paused for a moment before it pounced again, opening its bloody maw to bite at Nie Kong's head, its sharp fangs radiating an icy chill.

  No need to be so cruel, just a punch on the outside of your chicken, didn't even touch your real chicken! Nie Kong self-mockingly smiled and in the critical moment couldn't think much, mobilizing his remaining spiritual power to frantically roll backwards, escaping the range of the spirit beast's attack.

  The unicorn's mouth bit at the air, but its front paws dug two deep holes in the ground.

  Dust and sand fill the air.

  "Hah!"

  A flash of golden light shot out from Nie Kong's palm and pierced into the Ling Beast's blood-red left eye, which was exactly a golden needle that Nie Kong had seized the opportunity to take out. The needlehead was completely embedded in the pupil. Just at this moment, Nie Qing'an and Bai Yuqing rushed over again, one sword slashing at the Ling Beast's neck, while the other sword stabbed into its buttocks, the broad sword body wrapped with icy coldness straightly inserted from that wrinkled anus.

  "Roar!"

  A sharp pain burst forth from the front and back, the Unicorn Blood Lion let out a frantic screech, its body hair standing on end like a porcupine.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Three figures flew out. Nie Kong's left arm was scratched by the single-horned blood lion, a long piece of muscle was torn off, revealing the white bones inside, Bai Yuqing was swept away by the spiritual beast's tail, and spat out blood on the ground with his mouth open, Nie Qing'an was even more miserable, his shoulder blade was pierced by the spiritual beast's sharp horn.

  "Roar!"

  The unicorn blood lion's left eye was tightly closed, with fresh blood gushing out. Its head shook once, and it pounced at Nie Kong again, its single eye gleaming with a fierce and bloodthirsty light, as if it wanted to tear Nie Kong into pieces.

  Nie Kong's arms propped against the ground, panting rapidly, his eyes fixed intently on the approaching Blood Lion. Just as it raised its head and was about to land its front paws, Nie Kong's body suddenly sprang up, pouncing onto the Spirit Beast's massive skull, a flash of golden light, another golden needle inserted into its right eye.

  Bang!

  The one-horned Blood Lion's eyes were both blind, and it violently shook its head. Nie Kong was like a kite with a broken string, sent flying tens of meters away, heavily crashing to the ground. He let out a loud roar: "Hurry up!"

  As soon as the voice fell, Nie Qing'an and Bai Yuke mustered up their remaining strength and rushed over with ferocious expressions.

  Taking advantage of the moment when the Unicorn Blood Lion let out a loud roar, Nie Qing'an's iron sword swiftly entered its mouth, forcing it to swallow back the second half of its roar. Bai Yujing then punched the hilt of the sword on the outside of the Unicorn Blood Lion's buttocks, and the broken sword sank into the body of the spiritual beast.

  Bang! Bang!

  Nie Qing'an and Bai Yuke were knocked out, falling far away like a defeated banner.

  "Wow..."

  The unicorn lion awkwardly rushed towards the location where Nie Kong was lying, its massive body crashing to the ground with a loud thud. Its throat let out one last hoarse and ear-piercing howl, the sound filled with intense anger and unwillingness that seemed to linger in the air.

  It's terrible!

  At a glance, Bai Yuke and Nie Qing'an, who had been motionless all along, should still be alive, otherwise their bodies would have long since dissolved into the air. Nie Kong coughed out another mouthful of thick blood, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. At this moment, the hazy sky above revealed a faint seven-colored glow.

  It's finally almost over!

Everyone's support is very powerful, but my updates are a bit weak. Cough cough, I estimate some friends have already discovered this. This is mainly because I will be traveling for a period of time soon, so now I need to start storing drafts to avoid delays in updates later on. Hmm, everyone can rest assured that I've already stored over 10,000 words in the past two days. The plot for the second volume has been settled, and I'm continuing to write the third volume. Hope everyone will continue to support me, thank you thank you..
