Immediately afterward, the halo began to contract rapidly. Like seawater receding at low tide, it vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's enormous elephant-like body suddenly stiffened!
Under Luo Feng's delighted gaze, its body began to shrink dramatically. Within a few breaths, it had dwindled to the size of an adult lion.
Its aura weakened at a visible rate as well.
The wounds that had originally been suppressed by the Domination Domain now burst open like ruptured dikes, scarlet blood gushing from every wound like a flood.
Especially the puncture wound in its side. Blood shot out in torrents, swiftly pooling into a crimson puddle beneath its feet.
The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Its limbs weakened, as if it would collapse into the pool of blood the very next second.
Yet it did not fall. It stared fixedly at Luo Feng, its crimson eyes still brimming with overwhelming killing intent.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Luo Feng threw back his head and laughed wildly.
His laughter echoed through the valley, filled with barely restrained ecstasy.
"The Domination Domain is gone! Ha ha ha ha! My lucky chance is finally mine!"
He gripped the Wind Spirit Spear tightly with both hands, his entire body trembling slightly with excitement.
Beneath his feet, his first, third, and fourth Soul Rings lit up in succession!
Yellow, yellow, purple! Three rays of light bloomed at once!
First Soul Skill, Wind Sharpness!
A wisp of breeze wrapped around the spearhead, spinning rapidly and forming a tiny whirlwind.
Though small, that whirlwind carried terrifying cutting power, enough to tear through steel with ease!
Third Soul Skill, Whirlwind Cage!
The spear in his hand thrust forward, and a green whirlwind flew from its tip, howling as it charged toward the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff.
The whirlwind circled around it, transforming into a tornado in an instant and trapping it firmly within!
Fourth Soul Skill, Wind-Chasing Shadow-Piercing Stab!
The same green light that enveloped the spear erupted from Luo Feng's body. Man and spear seemed to become one, transforming into a phantom that shot toward the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff trapped within the whirlwind!
With this strike, he intended to kill it in one blow!
Thirty meters, fifteen meters, nine meters!
Just as the spearpoint came within nine meters of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, a needle-like stab of pain suddenly surged through Luo Feng's heart!
That was his sixth sense, an instinctive warning honed through countless life-and-death battles!
This is bad!
Luo Feng's pupils abruptly constricted. At nearly the same instant, the fifth black Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up!
Fifth Soul Skill, Hurricane Protection!
Deep black light exploded, and a rapidly spinning hurricane burst from within him, wrapping his body in every direction without a single blind spot!
Almost at the exact moment the hurricane took shape—
The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, which had looked incomparably weak, as though it would die at any moment, suddenly threw back its head and let out an earth-shaking roar!
"Roar—!"
That roar carried a hint of crazed resolve!
The next moment, the golden halo that had already dissipated unexpectedly erupted from its body once more!
Domination Domain, reopened!
Its body swelled rapidly again. Though nowhere near as large as before, the aura it unleashed in that instant was still terrifying beyond measure!
Its golden light-wreathed forepaw slammed viciously toward Luo Feng, who was encased in the hurricane!
Its crimson eyes were filled with resolute killing intent!
It had never intended to survive.
From beginning to end, it had only one goal—drag this human who coveted its cub down to hell with it!
"Boom—!"
The golden claw mark collided violently with the green hurricane!
Violent shockwaves swept in every direction, overturning the ground for dozens of meters around them! Broken rocks and dirt scattered like raindrops, smashing against the surrounding cliff walls with thunderous crashes!
The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's forepaw shattered the hurricane and sent Luo Feng flying, but the high-speed wind blades within the hurricane sliced mercilessly into its paw like saws!
Blood and flesh sprayed everywhere!
Pale white claw bones looked especially glaring beneath the moonlight!
Yet it seemed unable to feel pain. Its crimson eyes remained locked on the direction Luo Feng had been sent flying, holding nothing but grim resolve!
"Boom!"
Luo Feng's body crashed into a cliff face a hundred meters away like a broken sack, smashing a deep crater into it!
Loose stones rained down, and thick dust swallowed him whole.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
More than a dozen breaths later, a fit of violent coughing rang out from within the dust.
When the coughing reached the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's ears, the crimson in its eyes dimmed at a visible rate.
In the end, it had still failed to kill him.
The Domination Domain faded away along with its fighting spirit, and its massive body crashed to the ground like a collapsing mountain.
Scarlet blood spread out from beneath it, quickly staining the surrounding earth red.
But it was not dead yet.
It forced itself to raise its head and looked toward the deep cave behind it, opening its mouth to let out a weak roar.
The roar was low and hoarse, carrying unbearable grief and reluctance.
As if drawn by its mournful cry, a tiny figure suddenly ran out from the cave.
It was a cub.
Its fur was fluffy, and its round little body looked like a golden tumbleweed as it ran.
It was far too young, seemingly only a few days old. Its eyes had not even opened yet, and its four short little legs were not strong enough. It stumbled as it ran, falling several times.
Every time it fell, the pain made it whimper and squeak, sounding both aggrieved and spoiled.
But it did not stop.
Its little nose twitched. Following its mother's scent, it ran clumsily yet stubbornly, step by step, toward the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff whose aura was growing ever weaker.
"Roar!"
The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff let out a piercing roar, filled with the intent to drive it away.
It was chasing its own child away.
Startled by its mother's roar, the Little Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff stopped and let out a timid cry.
But it did not pause for even a second.
It could sense its mother's aura weakening, weakening so much that it was nearly impossible to detect.
It did not know what had happened. It only wanted to be closer to its mother.
It continued running forward. No matter how its mother roared to drive it away, it still clumsily ran toward her, one step at a time.
The ferocity in the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's eyes gradually melted away amid the cub's cries.
It no longer tried to drive the cub away. It merely watched the little creature stumbling toward it with eyes that were gradually losing their light.
Three meters, two meters...
The Little Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff drew closer and closer to its mother, but at that moment, a sudden change occurred!
"Whoosh!"
A piercing sound tore through the air!
A streak of green light ripped through the air like an arrow released from a bow, flying straight toward the tiny golden figure.
No one knew where the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, so weak that even its fur hung limp, found the strength. It suddenly raised its uninjured left paw and shielded the Little Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff.
"Pfft!"
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh was chillingly clear.
The green light faded.
The Wind Spirit Spear had already pierced through the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's left paw. Its tip protruded from the back of the paw, warm scarlet blood dripping onto the Little Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's head...
