Revenge Against the Azure-Eyed Fire Lion Group

In order to train outside without worry, Lin Yun directly brought Qing Tan along.

Qing Tan was no longer weak. She had no bottlenecks when breaking through realms, overtook Lin Xia, and reached the Earthly Yuan Realm before her. She had now already attained the Earthly Yuan Realm Middle Stage.

With such strength, she already had decent self-protection abilities in the forest.

Moreover, if any real danger arose, Lin Yun would be there to help.

If all else failed, he could temporarily place Qing Tan inside the Alchemy Furnace.

Qing Tan and Lin Yun had already become inseparable, so the Alchemy Furnace was no longer much of a secret from her.

In short, Qing Tan followed Lin Yun.

Like a pair of eloping young lovers, they happily headed for the Back Mountain Grove.

Within the woods, Lin Yun held Qing Tan in his arms as he rode atop Tiger Heroine.

The Fire Flame Three Tigers ran about everywhere, chasing prey.

All three tigers had now reached the Body Tempering Ninth Layer. They needed more training to prepare for their assault on the Earthly Yuan Realm.

In the blink of an eye, they had traveled through the forest for three days.

"Brother Lin Yun, where are we going now?" the adorable little girl asked curiously from Lin Yun's arms.

Although she was already sixteen, Qing Tan still looked petite and adorable. She had developed a tiny bit, but overall, there had not been much change.

"I'm taking you to meet two new companions. We're almost there."

Lin Yun stroked her head.

Before long, they arrived at the outskirts of Ironwood Manor.

Lin Yun first used his Mental Energy to investigate the situation at Ironwood Manor and discovered that the Lei Family's guard had changed. It was now Lei Pi.

There were not many other changes.

They did not notice the abnormality deep within Ironwood Manor.

They returned to the little valley of the Black Iron Demon Leopards.

Bao Zhen and Bao Qiang were actually still mining. They had forcibly dug out several large, deep pits.

Inside one of the smaller pits in the middle, a pile of Yang Yuan Stones had already accumulated.

"Good heavens!"

Lin Yun could not help exclaiming.

When he had left, he had never told the leopard couple to keep working.

Still, he was greatly pleased by their initiative.

"Brother Lin Yun, are these two Black Iron Demon Leopards the new companions you mentioned?!" Even though Qing Tan had been mentally prepared, she could not help feeling nervous upon seeing two Heavenly Yuan Realm Black Iron Demon Leopards.

"That's right. They're also my pet beasts, just like Tiger Heroine. This one is called Bao Qiang, and that one is his mate, Bao Zhen." Lin Yun introduced them to Qing Tan, then pointed at the pile of Yang Yuan Stones. "You don't need to be afraid of them. They may look fierce, but they're actually quite obedient. Look, they even helped me mine."

Lin Yun walked over, patted Bao Qiang and Bao Zhen on the heads in praise, and fed them several Blood Pills.

Then he went over to count the Yang Yuan Stones.

"Gasp, ninety-six!" Lin Yun was delighted after counting them.

They had mined so many in just over a month. A Qiang and A Zhen had worked hard.

Lin Yun sent all the Yang Yuan Stones into the Alchemy Furnace.

With Chi Ling's efficiency of refining one Yang Yuan Pill from three Yang Yuan Stones, he would soon gain thirty-two Yang Yuan Pills.

"Very good." Pleased, Lin Yun fed A Zhen and A Qiang several more Blood Pills. "Next, I'll take you to do something big."

The reason he had come to Ironwood Manor first this time was to bring along the two Black Iron Demon Leopards and deal with the Azure-Eyed Fire Lion Group together, avenging Tiger Heroine's family.

Lin Yun planned to deal with the Azure-Eyed Fire Lion Group before making plans for Ironwood Manor. Compared to dealing with people, he felt that dealing with Demon Beasts was simpler.

"Roar! Roar!"

A Zhen and A Qiang cried out excitedly, clearly thrilled.

Since following Lin Yun, they had tasted the benefits of Pills and could no longer wait to earn merit.

They had remained at the initial stage of the Heavenly Yuan Realm for some time. If they could obtain more Pills, they were confident they could break through to the middle stage.

Three days later, the two humans and Six Beasts arrived deep within the forest where the Hunting Event had taken place.

Led by Tiger Heroine, they quickly found the hill occupied by the Azure-Eyed Fire Lion Group.

Using his Mental Energy to probe, Lin Yun discovered the Azure-Eyed Fire Lions living in caves on the mountain.

There were six of them on the mountain.

However, according to Tiger Heroine's memories, this Azure-Eyed Fire Lion Group had a total of eight members. Four were adults, comparable to Heavenly Yuan Realm experts, while the strongest was likely at the late stage of the Heavenly Yuan Realm.

The other four were still growing, comparable to the Earthly Yuan Realm.

That meant two were missing.

"They probably went out hunting. This is an opportunity."

Lin Yun's eyes lit up. With their strength divided, they had a much better chance.

Although he had now broken through to the Heavenly Yuan Realm, Lin Yun still believed in playing it safe. After all, he only had one life.

No matter how strong he was, as long as he could not utterly crush and instantly kill his enemies, there was always the possibility of being counter-killed.

Even if that possibility was only one percent, he could not let his guard down.

Lin Yun possessed Mental Energy and could scout ahead, so he chose to defeat them one by one.

First, he would take out the two Azure-Eyed Fire Lions outside.

To be safe, Lin Yun first put Qing Tan and the Three Little Tigers into the Alchemy Furnace.

Then, together with Tiger Heroine and Bao Qiang, he lay in wait at the foot of the mountain for the Azure-Eyed Fire Lions heading out.

After Lin Yun and the others waited patiently, at dusk, two Azure-Eyed Fire Lions returned one after the other from the depths of the forest. Both had prey clenched in their jaws, and one of them had suffered fairly severe injuries.

Lin Yun immediately assigned their opponents. He and Bao Qiang would ambush the one in front, while Tiger Heroine and Bao Zhen would deal with the injured one in the rear.

"Try to kill them in one strike. Make it quick!" Lin Yun instructed.

The tiger and two leopards nodded excitedly.

Their eyes gleamed with bloodlust.

Tiger Heroine especially had an intense killing intent in its eyes, which had already turned blood-red.

Clearly, it had waited for this day all along, perhaps even dreamed of it countless times.

The time for revenge had finally come!

Tiger Heroine charged forward first.

Task: Hunt an Azure-Eyed Fire Lion in the middle stage of the Heavenly Yuan Realm. Reward: 2 bottles of Fifth Grade Bone Tempering Pills.

After setting up the task, Lin Yun unleashed the Flowing Wind Movement Technique, drew the Mountain Piercing Spear from his Cosmos Sack, and charged at the Azure-Eyed Fire Lion.

Bao Qiang followed closely behind, circling around from the side.

One man, one tiger, and two leopards launched their attack at once.

"Roar!"

The Azure-Eyed Fire Lion walking in front spotted them. It immediately dropped its prey and let out a thunderous roar.

"Chasing Clouds!"

"Severing Moon!"

Lin Yun thrust out his spear. The heavy Mountain Piercing Spear moved like lightning in his hands, and combined with the Flowing Wind Movement Technique, his spear was like a blazing tree of silver blossoms, its cold gleam flashing without end.

The Azure-Eyed Fire Lion roared angrily, a deep growl rumbling from its throat. Its pair of azure eyes shone brightly as it raised and swung its lion claws. Streaks of blue energy radiated from between its claws, attempting to snap Lin Yun's Mountain Piercing Spear.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... After dozens of consecutive thrusts, the Azure-Eyed Fire Lion's paws had already been pierced through.

Its ability to move was greatly weakened.

"Prairie Fire Hundred Slashes!"

Lin Yun raised the Mountain Piercing Spear high like a heavy hammer and smashed it down brutally. The spearhead, wrapped in Yuan energy, scraped through the air and burst into sparks. A massive crescent-shaped spear light appeared, extending from Lin Yun's spear tip and crashing onto the Azure-Eyed Fire Lion.

"Bang!"

The Azure-Eyed Fire Lion slammed heavily into the ground, its body directly sinking into the earth. It was no longer able to move.

"Roar!"

Bao Qiang, who had arrived late, lunged at the Azure-Eyed Fire Lion with a roar, biting at its neck and tearing fiercely.

Yet the already-dead Azure-Eyed Fire Lion gave no response whatsoever.

"Wooo... roar!" Bao Qiang awkwardly released his bite... Master was too fast. He had not even been given a chance to show what he could do.

"Get ready. The Azure-Eyed Fire Lion Group on the mountain is coming down." Lin Yun stared at the small mountain peak. His Mental Energy had already detected the Azure-Eyed Fire Lion Group charging down the mountain together.

Clearly, the cry of the Azure-Eyed Fire Lion they had just killed had drawn the Azure-Eyed Fire Lions on the mountain down here.

Tiger Heroine and Bao Zhen were still entangled with the other Azure-Eyed Fire Lion.

The pressure now fell on Lin Yun and Bao Qiang.

Of the six Azure-Eyed Fire Lions charging down, only two had reached the Heavenly Yuan Realm.

They were respectively at the early stage and late stage of the Heavenly Yuan Realm.

Lin Yun did not panic and set up tasks in his mind.

Task: Hunt an Azure-Eyed Fire Lion in the late stage of the Heavenly Yuan Realm. Reward: Advanced Cosmos Sack.

Task: Hunt an Azure-Eyed Fire Lion in the early stage of the Heavenly Yuan Realm. Reward: 1 bottle of Fifth Grade Returning Spring Pills.

Task: Hunt Azure-Eyed Fire Lions in the Earthly Yuan Realm. Reward: 4 bottles of Fourth Grade Qi Blood Pills.

Just as the tasks were completed, the six Azure-Eyed Fire Lions charged down. When they saw the dead Azure-Eyed Fire Lion, they immediately roared furiously, their azure eyes glowing as they rushed over as if they had lost their minds.
