The Li Family, Li Xingzong!

The Wind Chasing Leopard was known for its speed and cunning. An adult usually possessed the strength of Body Cultivation Grand Perfection, and the one before them was clearly fully grown.

Little Stone's heart sank to the bottom of a valley.

With only Minor Accomplishment in Body Cultivation, how could he stand against a demonic beast at Body Cultivation Grand Perfection?

The Wind Chasing Leopard crouched low, a threatening growl rumbling in its throat. Its claws scraped the earth as it prepared to pounce again.

Little Stone knew he could not meet it head-on. Shielding his mother, he retreated again and again.

"Little Stone, leave me! Go! If you try to take me with you, we'll both die here."

His mother spoke urgently from behind him.

"No! Even if I die, I'll never abandon you!"

Without looking back, Little Stone spoke with iron resolve.

Greed filled the Wind Chasing Leopard's eyes as it watched him retreat.

It had a feeling that if it ate this little monkey, it could break through the shackles of its bloodline and advance to the third tier, the Qi and Blood Realm.

It hesitated no longer. Its hind legs slammed against the ground, and it sprang at Little Stone again, faster than before!

I can't dodge it!

Little Stone steeled himself, resolve flashing in his eyes. He set his mother on the ground, gripped his short blade, and thrust it fiercely at the lunging leopard.

"Little Stone, don't!"

His mother's despairing cry rang out behind him.

In a flash of lightning and flint, Little Stone and the Wind Chasing Leopard collided.

The beast-bone dagger in his hand plunged into the leopard's chest. At the same instant, its massive body slammed into him.

Crack.

Bone snapped with a sharp report. Little Stone gave a muffled groan
