Outside the cave, white lights flashed one after another, falling and piling up like mountains.

But Yang Shan simply didn't have the time to pick them up.

Every moment, a large number of Lion-Race Magical Beast are attacking the cave entrance.

Aside from Overload, Yang Shan does not have any truly long-range area-of-effect attacks.

However, the combination of Ape King Violet Lightning and Scarlet Serpent Flame would definitely not be enough to instantly kill a fourth-tier elite magical beast with a single Overload.

Moreover, without Su Yitang by his side, in order to prevent the next round of Overload from being interfered with, Yang Shan had to wait until the aftershocks of the explosion had dissipated before he could use Overload again.

Yang Shan could also choose to use the same method he used to deal with Hai Bodong, condensing Scarlet Lightning Serpent from the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning to attack.

However, the attack strength of this Scarlet Lightning Serpent, relying solely on the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning itself, is 2358 points based on Yang Shan's current stats.

Moreover, forming Scarlet Lightning Serpent cannot be accomplished with just a little bit of Dou Qi.

A single point of Dou Qi can only form a Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning, while Scarlet Lightning Serpent requires at least 10 points of Dou Qi.

In comparison, using the seven layers of the "Tyrant Blade" technique only consumes two points of Dou Qi per second, yet can increase the damage to 5707!

In addition, there's the level suppression that the Dou Wang has over Fourth-Order Magical Beast.

Even if it doesn't hit a vital spot, it can kill instantly!

The price-performance ratio is truly exceptional.

The only drawback is that compared to area-of-effect attacks, the kill efficiency is slightly slower in such situations.

Yang Shan could have simply taken Yun Yun and forced his way out.

But he certainly won't do that.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King has been so thoughtful in arranging so much experience to send to Yang Shan; it would be inappropriate not to accept some.

Besides! If he doesn't appear to be struggling and doesn't get scratched, will Yun Yun's favorability increase? It's like leading a girl across the street and then being hit by a truck that loses speed and pushes her aside.

The latter clearly demonstrates a much deeper emotion than the former!

Of course, players do not experience "death" in the true sense.

Therefore, when a player dies because of an NPC, the NPC's reference standard is the player's "loss".

For example, how much experience was lost, how many items were dropped, etc.

Moreover, this reference standard is a "hidden standard," and its primary prerequisite is that a certain level of goodwill has already been established with the NPC.

And! It must conform to the specific situation.

Furthermore, each NPC's actual situation is different.

In this world, NPCs, just like players, possess rich emotions and perfectly logical thinking. They have parents, friends, and memories of their experiences from childhood to adulthood! Therefore, the favorability rating system can be considered the most complex aspect designed by Tian Yao Company in this virtual world! Now that we are in Yun Yun's main storyline, the reference standards will change drastically.

Yang Shan must seize the opportunity.

Of course, Yang Shan did try his best to wield the sword.

Don't treat NPCs like fools. Many discerning and experienced NPCs can tell if they're not putting in any effort or are just pretending.

Yang Shan performed as expected, taking down a Fourth-Order Magical Beast with a single strike.

Moreover, their dodging is incredibly fast.

However, he has to stand in front of the cave entrance, so his dodging range is very limited.

Moreover, Yang Shan never activated his Dou Qi Armor from beginning to end.

But there are just too many Warcraft games.

Yang Shan even encountered several instances where, at the same second, more than a dozen Lion-Race Magical Beast attacked him with their claws, tails, or even their mouths.

Yang Shan's defense is a weakness; even at the Dou Wang level, his defense is only 589 points! Meanwhile, these elite fourth-tier Lion-Race Magical Beast have attack power ranging from 700 to 900 points.

Without his Dou Qi Armor, Yang Shan would lose at least a hundred drops of blood from a single hit.

After a prolonged battle, Yang Shan had many wounds on his body, and his health points had dropped by nearly 5,000.

Moreover, the three fifth-tier King of Beasts- level Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion did not attack from beginning to end. Instead, they flew in the sky, roaring incessantly, attracting more Lion-Race Magical Beast to come.

Based on Yang Shan's current total amount of Dou Qi, if we disregard recovery pills and only use the "Tyrant Blade" technique, his Dou Qi would be almost completely depleted after killing a thousand Fourth-Order Magical Beast.

And the number of Fourth-Order Magical Beast attacking the cave right now is definitely more than a thousand!

Yun Yun's worried voice came from inside the cave. "Little Friend Yang Shan!"

"It's alright, Senior, you can continue to break through the seal. I should be able to hold on until you break the seal."

"Breaking through the seal won't be something I can do in a short time; it will take at least two days!"

Why didn't you say so sooner?

"You didn't ask me, so I assumed you knew."

"Senior, don't unseal yet. Let me take you out first, otherwise we'll be in big trouble if the Amethyst Winged Lion King comes!"

"Good!"

Yun Yun quickly approached the cave entrance.

Yang Shan activated his Dou Qi Light Wings and entered the cave, wrapping his left arm around Yun Yun's waist.

This is the third time she's been put her arm around the waist.

Yun Yun seemed to have gotten used to it, so she subconsciously wrapped her arms around Yang Shan's neck.

But the next moment, Yun Yun withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

Yang Shan displayed the domineering presence befitting a man at this moment:

"Hold me tight, I can't cover you with just one hand!"

"Oh!"

The commanding tone startled Yun Yun, who quickly wrapped her arms around Yang Shan's neck again.

The Misty Cloud Sect Master, who was always the one giving orders, was now having his heart pounding.

A large number of Lion-Race Magical Beast have already crawled in through the cave entrance.

Yang Shan brandished the Thunderbolt Blade.

Fifty points of Dou Qi are consumed in one go.

A large number of Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning converged into Scarlet Lightning Serpent, forcibly clearing a path for Yang Shan.

With his Dou Qi Transformation Wings, Yang Shan had already carried Yun Yun into the air in just one breath.

The three Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion roared and charged forward.

Yang Shan gave a word of advice:

"Hold on tight!"

Yun Yun: "Let's escape first."

Yang Shan: "The Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion is quite fast! We won't be able to shake it off in a short time!"

Although the Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion is a Fire Attribute magical beast, its wings are not simple; they even possess unique Bloodline Secret Skill that can greatly increase its flight speed.

Of course, even if the Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion used its Bloodline Secret Skill, its speed was still a notch slower than Yang Shan's.

However, if the Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion attacks Yang Shan with its special pale purple flames during the chase, it will interfere with Yang Shan's flight, thus reducing his speed.

The best way is to use "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" directly, ensuring that the Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion can't see Yang Shan when it blinks.

But given the current situation, Yang Shan would rather die than use the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement"! Yun Yun had no idea that Yang Shan also possessed Golden Word Seal Earth-Rank movement technique. Based on Yang Shan's current performance, she could only offer reasonable advice. "You can only injure them and then try to escape. You must be quick, as the Amethyst Winged Lion King is twice as fast as the Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion! If it has received the news, it might arrive soon!"

"That's what I think too!"

During the exchange, Yang Shan, holding Yun Yun in his arms and wielding a knife in one hand, began to fight the three-headed Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion!

The three-headed Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion knew that Yang Shan was not someone to be trifled with, so it used its Demon Energy to protect itself early on.

It's not easy to hurt them in a short time.

Yun Yun quickly said:

"I have a secret Jade Pendant that can kill a fifth-tier Thousand Beast King, and it can be activated three times!"

Yang Shan: "Keep it!"

Yun Yun: "But..."

"Don't talk, I'll get distracted!"

Yang Shan had just forced back one of the Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion when the other two were already close to Yang Shan.

One of them was even aimed at Yun Yun in Yang Shan!

At this moment, Yang Shan activated his Dou Qi Armor and expanded it into a protective qi shield to block the attack for Yun Yun.

Yun Yun had been wondering why Yang Shan was injured while fighting in front of the cave entrance.

Only now did I realize that Yang Shan had saved the precious opportunity to use his Dou Qi Armor until now to protect her!

[Ding! Player, please note that your actions have stirred up unsettling emotions in Yun Yun. Yun Yun's favorability towards you has increased by 1. Current favorability: 19.]

Yang Shan doesn't have time to deal with this right now.

Yang Shan cannot use "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" because he must deal with the three-headed Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion while also protecting the fragile Yun Yun. He must be cautious.

Moreover, the three Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion cooperated very well. If they missed their first attack, they immediately created distance and trapped Yang Shan and Yun Yun in the center with a triangular formation.

The three Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion opened their blood-red maws almost simultaneously, and a massive amount of Demon Energy began to gather.

The universally recognized Bloodline Secret Skill in the Magical Beast Realm — the Demon Spirit Cannon!

Because the three-headed Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion has a unique light purple flame, the power of this Demon Spirit Cannon is even greater.

Hold on tight!

After giving his instructions, Yang Shan increased his speed and arrived behind a Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion before the Demon Spirit Cannon could be released.

The Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion immediately did a 180-degree flip in the air, spewing flames from its mouth straight at Yang Shan.

The protective aura shielded the flames, while the Thunderbolt Blade relentlessly slashed at the Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion.

The Demon Energy protecting the Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion was easily dissipated by Yang Shan's few strikes.

The Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion let out a terrified roar, but it was too late.

The Thunderbolt Blade sliced across his back, blood gushing forth.

Yang Shan kicked the Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion to the ground.

The Demon Spirit Cannon of the other two Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion have also arrived! Yang Shan once again decisively swung out the Thunderbolt Blade.

The Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning generated by the massive amount of Dou Qi on the blade was something that the Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion's pale purple Beast Flame could not withstand.

The Thunderbolt Blade ultimately struck the Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion on the left, but it narrowly avoided it.

In the next instant, Yang Shan's hand had already grasped the hilt of the knife.

Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills!

The crimson light from the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning illuminated the eyes of the Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion, making them appear completely red.

With an absurd damage of over 30,000 points, it completely ignored the Demon Energy protecting the Purple Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion and cleaved it in two with overwhelming force!

The last Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion let out a mournful roar, but it still remembered the Amethyst Winged Lion King's order to prioritize killing Yun Yun.

It flew close, wanting to smash Yun Yun's head with a single claw!

Yang Shan turned around, taking the blow with his back. -2258!

The Thunderbolt Blade still retained some of the residual power of the "Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills".

Yang Shan endured the pain, turned around, and swung his knife.

This strike severed a section of the Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion!

The Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion could no longer maintain its flight and fell to the ground.

Thus, of the three fifth-tier King of Beasts, one was dead and two were injured.

If it weren't for having to protect Yun Yun, and if it weren't for not being able to use "Three Thousand Thunder Movement", none of these three fifth-tier King of Beasts would have survived!

Yang Shan ceased fighting, sheathed his Thunderbolt Blade, embraced Yun Yun, and gradually disappeared into the horizon.

About ten minutes later, Yang Shan was almost completely exhausted of his Dou Qi when he finally found another cave.

He carried Yun Yun into the cave, then took off his clothes and used them as a cushion for Yun Yun.

"By the way," I'll show off the wounds I sustained from the long battle.

Yun Yun asked with concern, "Little Friend Yang Shan, what about your injury?"

Yang Shan: "Senior, answer me first, are you sure your so-called secret treasure can kill a fifth-tier Thousand Beast King?"

Yun Yun: "Yes, a fifth-tier Thousand Beast King would surely die if hit by this."

"That's good."

Yang Shan let out a long sigh of relief, and then he clicked the offline button!

Yun Yun only saw Yang Shan close his eyes, sway slightly, and then fall backward! Yun Yun was terrified:

"Yang Shan!"

If a player logs off and does not choose to AFK Cultivation, the game character will continue to exist in the game world in a state of sleep, coma, or other similar manner.

Therefore, generally speaking, players will choose to return to a relatively safe city before logging off.

If you are in the wild, the system will warn you that logging off here may result in being attacked by monsters, and you will be subject to normal death penalties.

But Yang Shan chose to "ignore the risks"! This was Yang Shan's final, Certain Kill!
