Clang!

A dazzling cold light slashed through the void, carrying killing intent.

As the murderous intent closed in, the Blazing Horned Lion abruptly turned its body, intercepting the cold light head-on.

Rolling flames scattered like dandelion seeds, and a gust of wind spread out, whipping everyone's hair and burning their skin. They could barely open their eyes until they circulated their Spiritual Energy.

Upon closer inspection, the cold light was revealed to be a Martial Artist.

He was powerfully built, wore a ghost-faced monkey mask, and his Qi and Blood surged, no weaker than an Intermediate Martial Artist.

Even more terrifying was that his physical body could withstand the scorching flames.

"Big guy, you've got quite some strength!"

Lu Xuan could sense that even though his own body had been tempered by the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir to a high level of physical strength, he still couldn't instantly defeat the horned lion.

It truly lived up to its reputation as a High-level Monster.

If his physical strength wasn't enough, he would have been burned to a crisp the moment he got close.

"But I've got more than just this!"

Lu Xuan unleashed his psychic power, never intending to hide his strength.

Buzz!

Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, nearby scrap metal, including knives, spears, and swords, levitated and then tensed, like arrows on a bowstring, aimed at the Blazing Horned Lion.

This scene not only startled the Martial Artists present but also the Blazing Horned Lion, which sensed the danger and let out a roar, pushing Lu Xuan back.

However, Lu Xuan's thoughts moved, and the sky full of blades shot out like bullets.

With several swish sounds, the blades attacked from all directions. The Blazing Horned Lion's fur bristled, turning into flames to defend itself, but under the blades imbued with psychic power, these flames were unstoppable. Its solid defense also showed a slight crack.

Splat!

Blood sprayed, and the Blazing Horned Lion let out a low growl.

"Roar!"

These flying blades were like annoying flies.

The only difference was that flies don't bite.

Xu Xin and the other two exchanged glances. The horned lion that had rendered them helpless with a single claw moments ago was now being held back.

"What are you waiting for?" Lu Xuan turned to them and yelled:

"Run!"

He was already doing his best to hold it back with his psychic power.

Killing it was a pipe dream.

The three dared not delay, seizing the opportunity to leap up, covering several dozen feet, and fleeing the battlefield.

"Who are you?"

Xu Xin asked, confused.

She had no recollection of him at all.

Could he not be a student from Jiangnan Martial University?

"Don't worry about that for now... Damn it!"

Lu Xuan was about to say something when he saw the Blazing Horned Lion change its strategy and turn to attack them.

If it couldn't get rid of the annoying flies, it would have to kill the person controlling them. It locked onto Lu Xuan, allowing the blades to tear at its body.

As long as Lu Xuan died, these flies would be useless!

"Roar!"

The speed of the High-level Monster was incredible. In the blink of an eye, it appeared before the group.

A claw swiped down.

Lu Xuan reacted just as quickly, manipulating the scrap metal into a shield in front of him. The claw collided with the metal, emitting a piercing clang, clang, clang that made one's heart tremble.

"Hold it off, our teacher will be here soon!"

The class monitor of Class 5 leaped aside, drawing his bow to provide support.

Teacher?

Lu Xuan's eyes widened, and he thought, This is bad. My psychic power can be exposed, but my identity absolutely cannot. Otherwise, I'll surely bring about my own doom.

A man is innocent, but his wealth is his own sin.

He understood the principle. In the eyes of outsiders, a wielder of psychic power could be anyone, but it couldn't be him.

With his low strength, if a Qi and Blood Martial Master, or even a Martial Dao Grandmaster, came and forced him to take off the ghost-faced monkey mask, he'd be finished.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have bothered with these guys if I'd known."

Lu Xuan cursed inwardly.

He had to leave this place quickly.

Humans were more dangerous and complicated than monsters.

But right now, there was only one way to leave: kill the Blazing Horned Lion in front of him.

The creature had already set its sights on him. Even if he ran, this behemoth would chase him down. For a low-level Martial Artist to escape from a High-level Monster was a fool's dream.

With that thought, he controlled iron filings to envelop the Blazing Horned Lion, briefly stalling it before quickly retreating a hundred meters.

Lu Xuan looked at Xu Xin and the others and asked, "Can you still fight? I'll cover you while you engage it, or do any of you have weapons that can pierce its defense?"

He knew where his strengths lay.

His psychic power could control any object, attacking from all angles, leaving the Blazing Horned Lion unable to defend itself.

"Yes!"

A ring on Lu Ya's finger flashed, and a dagger dropped out. With a bang, it immediately smashed a large pit into the ground.

Lu Xuan and the others widened their eyes.

"Xiao Ya, what is that thing?"

Xu Xin couldn't believe that a palm-sized dagger could create a pit in the ground.

Did that make sense?

"My dad gave it to me. It's made of special materials and has extremely strong destructive power. If infused with vitality and Spiritual Energy, it can pierce the defense of a Martial Dao Grandmaster."

Hiss!

The few of them gasped.

Lu Ya turned and stared at Lu Xuan, "I don't know what method you used, but if you can unexpectedly control this dagger to attack the Blazing Horned Lion, you can definitely kill it!"

"I'll try my best!"

Lu Xuan focused his psychic power on the dagger, lifting it.

But he soon discovered that once he lifted the dagger, he couldn't control anything else.

In other words, his Mental Power could only support lifting this single dagger.

"Roar!"

At the same time, With the interference from the "flies" controlled by psychic power gone, the Blazing Horned Lion's movements resumed, and it immediately pounced on them.

"Let's attack together!"

Lu Xuan didn't dare to underestimate it and drew his saber to meet it.

The ink-black dagger floated around him as he moved, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the monster at any moment.

Xu Xin and the other two also didn't dare to hold back, using all their skills.

Perhaps it was because of the dagger floating around Lu Xuan, making the Blazing Horned Lion sense a death aura, that it was no longer as reckless as before, rarely revealing openings, allowing the others to gain the upper hand.

After several exchanges, the Blazing Horned Lion was forced to retreat.

But no one dared to be careless.

They knew the Horned Lion was looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to kill Lu Xuan.

As long as Lu Xuan was dealt with, rendering the dagger that threatened it useless, the roles would instantly reverse, and killing the others would be as easy as slaughtering chickens.

Both sides were looking for an opportunity.

"We can't go on like this."

Lu Xuan's mind raced.

Right now, stalling the Blazing Horned Lion made Xu Xin and the others happy because the teachers from Jiangnan Martial University would arrive. But he couldn't be happy.

Who knew if that teacher would be interested in the secrets he possessed.

What to do?

Lu Xuan's mind raced.

Suddenly, he thought of a plan.

Feigning weakness!

Bang! The thought had barely formed when he was sent flying backward, crashing into the ground.

"Not good!" Seeing Lu Xuan sent flying, the other three hurriedly adjusted their stances and retreated.

"Are you okay?!"

"Controlling objects consumes a lot of energy. I can't hold on anymore."

"Roar!"

Meanwhile, Seeing this, the Blazing Horned Lion let out a roar to the heavens. Seizing the opening, it charged at them.

This time, it held nothing back, unleashing its full power in the attack.

"This is bad!"

The faces of the three changed drastically.

"Don't panic! Block it!"

Lu Xuan shot to his feet. Seeing this, the three reacted instantly. Lu Xuan was playing a trick on them!

Without regard for their injuries, they channeled their remaining strength to block the Blazing Horned Lion's attack. However, they were only able to hold it off for a few breaths before being sent flying.

But it was enough.

Lu Xuan's mental power lifted the ink-black dagger. He darted out like lightning, aiming for the lion's weak spot beneath its belly, and swung his blade!

Psychic power primarily works by breaking through defenses at a single point.

By finding the enemy's weak spot and driving a weapon into it, one could control the weapon to shred the enemy from the inside.

Squelch~ The dagger tore through the Blazing Horned Lion's flesh and embedded itself within its body.

At the same time, the Blazing Horned Lion's claws slammed into Lu Xuan's shoulder.

Instantly, blood gushed out like a fountain.

Lu Xuan grinned sinisterly, "Big guy, you're strong, but you're not smart enough!"

Thwack, thwack, thwack!

Under his control, the dagger shredded the Blazing Horned Lion's internal organs, piercing its heart, lungs, liver, spleen, intestines... The Blazing Horned Lion threw its head back and roared in unconcealable rage, its cries echoing through the wilderness.

Squelch!

Boom!

As the dagger flew out of its mouth, its body, as massive as a heavy truck, crashed to the ground.

Seeing their leader fall, the low-level monsters scattered and fled in all directions.

"Hoo... hoo..."

Lu Xuan knelt on the ground, clutching his head.

Controlling the ink-black dagger consumed a significant amount of psychic power. If he hadn't broken through to become a Martial Artist, he wouldn't have been able to stand steadily.

"Dead... it's dead!"

Xu Xin and the others stared at the billowing dust, dumbfounded.

A high-level monster had actually been killed?!

They had initially thought that even if they managed to break through the Blazing Horned Lion's defenses, it would be enough to stall it until the senior high-level Martial Artists or their Qi and Blood Martial Master teachers arrived.

They never expected Lu Xuan to actually kill it!

"Are you a student at Jiangnan Martial University, friend?"

They looked at Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan didn't answer them. He had no time to waste. He stood up, walked to the Blazing Horned Lion's corpse, and used his knife to cut off a thigh. He said, "This counts as us killing it together. It's fine for me to take half the corpse, right?"

"Of course, you can also pay to buy my half."
