Chapter Ninety-Five: Fire Rain Appears, Flowing Light Dies
Lin Yuan took a step back after his strike, but didn't harm the Violet Lightning Panther. Under Lin Yuan's attack, its entire body retreated in a straight line.
"Lin Shidi, are you alright?" Chen Huan's figure also appeared beside Lin Yuan at the same time as he retreated, asking with concern.
"Chen Shixiong, the three of you are going to take turns fighting this demon beast. Its strength has reached half-step Pre-Heavenly Stage, and it's even more powerful than ordinary half-step Pre-Heavenly cultivators. Be careful, I'll take over afterwards." Lin Yuan's expression was cautious, but his eyes revealed a hint of excitement.
"Lin Shidi, then you pay attention, the matter of sweeping the array is handed over to us three people, you can rest assured." Chen Huan knew that this was not the time for pretence, and the three of them would sweep the array for Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan's body burst out again in an instant, his body transformed into a flowing light, its speed not one bit slower than the purple electric light leopard.
The Purple Thunder Leopard is a top-tier demon beast in the Post-Heavenly Realm, with the power of thunder and lightning innate within its body. A mature Purple Thunder Leopard's strength can reach the Half-Step Pre-Heavenly Realm, allowing it to leap directly into becoming an existence akin to a king.
At this moment, the iron-like sharp claws of the demon beast suddenly grasped the middle of Lin Yuan's long sword, and with a sudden burst of strength, a purple true yuan spurted out, wanting to shatter Lin Yuan's long sword.
"Animal, looking for death!"
Lin Yuan angrily shouted, his true yuan suddenly surged, and the entire long sword instantly radiated a deep blue true yuan.
The long sword caught by the purple electric light leopard, instantly spread out to collect the giant claws, the sharp sword tip, directly cut a wound on the purple electric light leopard's giant claw, and the stinky blood, like a sharp arrow, sprayed out from the broken mouth of the purple electric light leopard's sharp claw.
"Uggghhh..." The beast let out a pained roar.
His sharp claws were no less hard than ordinary ones, absolutely enough to crush ordinary sword weapons in an instant.
However, the long sword in Lin Yuan's hand was a fine steel long sword. Although it wasn't some kind of divine weapon, Lin Yuan's entire sword was instantly covered in True Essence. With Lin Yuan's True Essence force driving it, it naturally cut through iron like mud. This demon beast was caught off guard and immediately suffered a great loss.
It wasn't until then that Zilean realized he was in trouble this time.
"Chen Man you go left, quickly!"
"Chen Yu, go to the right, hurry!" Chen Huan's voice was urgent and didn't stop, directly running towards the middle position. The entire space was instantly occupied by the four of them, suddenly surrounding the Purple Electric Light Leopard in a circle.
In the darkness, a purple beast gazed fiercely and let out a series of angry roars.
At this time, Lin Yuan had already entangled with the crippled Purple-Golden Electric Light Leopard.
……
This battle, Lin Yuan felt was different from the usual duels on the arena. The demonic beast would not follow any rules, especially after being injured, it became even more ferocious. The Purple Thunder Light Leopard's body was as hard as steel, and with the occasional bursts of electric light, every part of its body was a weapon - claws, teeth, tail... The pain drove it into madness, making it charge at Lin Yuan in a frenzy, disregarding life or death.
Branches snapped and flew in all directions, dust filled the air, completely burying the man and beast within.
Chen Huan and the other three were also on high alert, on one hand to defend against other incoming attacks, and on the other hand to prevent Zidi from escaping.
Lin Yuan went through the entire process with his own physical body, adding strong physique and purple electric light leopard to fight, occasionally using true yuan for combat.
This is Lin Yuan's opportunity, and the purpose of this trip to temper himself was to exercise his own strength. Lin Yuan finally found a demon beast with the same realm as himself, and he naturally wouldn't let it go.
Lin Yuan's body had already suffered quite a few blows.
If it were another warrior, they would have been torn apart by now. However, Lin Yuan's cultivation of the Tai Shang Yuan Shi Jing, combined with the black spiritual medicine given to him by Song Changqing last time, had increased his physical strength to the point where he could stand alongside a half-step Heaven's Chosen expert, making him a formidable opponent.
Lin Yuan's skin was as tough as leather, and his muscles had also become more resilient. Although the long robe on his body was almost torn to shreds, apart from a layer of white marks and a few red wounds, which were only superficial injuries, there were no other injuries left.
"Great, haha, I didn't expect my current physical strength to be so formidable. The Tai Shang Yuan Shi Jing is indeed the supreme mental method; once cultivated to perfection, wouldn't it mean that one can fight against pre-heavenly realm martial artists relying solely on physical strength?"
As time flew by, Lin Yuan quickly adapted to this kind of battle and let out a long whistle.
At this time, there were no other thoughts in his mind.
Only one thought remains—
Kill this demon beast!
Moreover, after the initial confusion, Lin Yuan found that this demon beast's strength was not as terrifying as he had imagined.
He finally gradually found his form.
As Lin Yuan and the Violet Lightning Panther fought, wounds began to appear on the Violet Lightning Panther's body, all of which were cut by Lin Yuan's fine steel long sword, with threads of fresh blood slowly flowing out.
A long sword that seemed to flow like clouds and water, under his urging, burst forth with a dazzling display of sword flowers, flashing like shooting stars, familiar sword moves, unfolding continuously like a river.
Deep blue sword energy, with an unmatched aura, once again struck towards the purple electric light leopard.
"Heaven-Defying Sword Technique - Meteoric Fire Rain! Kill!"
Lin Yuan let out a furious roar, finally unleashing his killing move. His fine steel longsword shot out in a single stroke, as if meteors were falling from the sky or a rain of fire was pouring down. The sword light flashed like lightning, faintly drawing out arc lines in mid-air, instantly breaking through the defense of this purple electric glow leopard.
Whoosh!
A shrill whistle pierced the air.
Hmph!
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through leather appeared.
"Uggghhh..." The Violet Lightning Leopard let out a pained wail, its body wildly thrashing about. Suddenly, its entire body lurched violently in all directions. Lin Yuan's long sword remained lodged in the leopard's abdomen, right up to its heart.
The purple lightning leopard's frenzy instantly caused the surrounding space to be filled with flying dust, and under the moonlight, it looked even more dazzling. After a while, the purple lightning leopard's body suddenly stiffened.
His eyes flashed with purple light, but between his chest and abdomen, a large amount of fresh blood suddenly appeared, followed by a sudden spurt of foul-smelling blood. Then, that enormous body, like an ordinary tiger, finally collapsed with a loud crash, shaking the earth and stirring up a cloud of dust.
In an instant, Lin Yuan's Broken Sky Sword Technique's first move directly killed the half-step Pre-Heaven Purple Electric Flowing Leopard. Chen Huan and others who were not far from Lin Yuan saw that just a moment ago, one person and one beast were fighting intensely, but suddenly they saw Lin Yuan kill with one sword. This contrast stirred up an uncontrollable surge in their hearts.
Is this Lin Yuan's true strength? That one arena match, it turns out he didn't use his full strength. At this moment, the three people thought of this at the same time.
