The Flame Lion's Severed Arms! A Spent Force!
The Flame-Tailed Lion King realized that its own domain was no match for Yang Xiao.
They immediately changed their strategy.
He simply shone all the Core Illumination Light upon himself, making himself inviolable.
You can suppress my Core Illumination Light, but when the Core Illumination Light shines only on yourself, your location becomes a simple domain.
Although it no longer has coverage, it is extremely difficult to suppress!
Its shoulders and back jolted violently.
Swish Swish Swish--
The reddish-brown mane detached from his body, each strand transforming into a burning fire rope in mid-air. More than a dozen fire ropes rose up, wrapping around Yang Xiao from different directions.
The fire bolt didn't simply chase Yang Xiao; instead, it blocked the landing point in advance.
With each step Yang Xiao took, the fire rope in front of him would block his way, forcing him to change direction.
Yang Xiao's figure darted between the dozen or so fire chains, leaving several afterimages.
The flaming cord grazed the black armor several times, sparks flying, but it could never entangle him.
After a dozen or so breaths of fighting...
The Flame-Tailed Lion King finally seized an opportunity for Yang Xiao to take to the air.
The dozen or so fire bolts suddenly changed direction, no longer chasing people, but converging on the predicted landing point.
One, two, more than a dozen fire ropes twisted together in mid-air to form a fiery net, which then tightened with a roar!
Once the net is closed, the prey trapped inside will have no chance to escape.
Just as the fire net was about to tighten.
Yang Xiao's speed suddenly increased.
With all his might, Sky-Rending Wind Pattern compressed the air around him into a single line, making him so fast that he was just a blur as he passed through the gap in the fire net that had not yet closed.
Laugh--!
A few sparks flew as they brushed against the cloak, raising smoke.
The next moment, Yang Xiao appeared to the side and rear of the Flame-Tailed Lion King.
"..."
The Flame-Tailed Lion King's pupils contracted, and it suddenly turned around, sweeping its paw horizontally.
Before the wind of the fist arrives, the fiery energy precedes it.
Yang Xiao drew his Shadowless Blade from his waist with a backhand motion, and slashed upwards to meet the palm strike.
Gold-Shattering Jade-Collapsing!
With the enhancement of the Slaying-Edge Gold Pattern, the blade shook off the flames and struck the Flame-Tailed Lion King's paw.
The protective Demon Power shattered like glass falling to the ground.
The blade pierced the flesh, and the shockwave followed, penetrating deep into the wound.
Click!
The shockwave exploded through his flesh and bones, and the newly grown left arm snapped off completely from the point where the knife had struck, falling to the ground and sending sparks flying.
"Ah--!"
The Flame-Tailed Lion King's massive body tilted, and half of it suddenly lost its strength.
It staggered and turned around, the blood from the cut not yet flowing out, but was scorched black by the high temperature.
Another arm has been severed!
That newly grown arm had only been healing for a few days!
It suddenly stared at the knife in Yang Xiao's hand, its eyes flashing with shock and anger.
This human had been using a gun the whole time, so it assumed he was only good at handling guns.
But this knife is different.
The force of the knife as it fell penetrated the body and exploded, severing one of its arms.
The Flame-Tailed Lion King forcibly steadied itself and roared in fury.
With a powerful push of his four hooves, he unleashed another fiery punch from his right palm.
This punch was more ferocious than any of the previous ones.
The fiery energy contained within the fist solidified, and the wave of fire exploded almost touching Yang Xiao's chest.
Boom!!
Yang Xiao's feet felt like they were nailed to the ground.
The flames pushed his body backward several steps, his boots carving two long furrows in the scorched earth.
Before his retreating momentum had subsided, he used the Void-Treading Wind-Chasing Steps to turn, his entire body leaping out along the edge of the fire wave, and slashed out with a backhand.
It struck the Flame-Tailed Lion King's only remaining forearm.
The latter's right arm ruptured instantly, flesh torn open, and the sound of bones shattering filled the air.
The remaining forearm broke off and fell gently to the ground.
"Aww--!!"
A painful howl tore through the fiery domain.
The Flame-Tailed Lion King convulsed in pain, its massive body swaying and staggering back several steps before it could barely steady itself.
Blood mixed with sparks dripped from the cut, each drop leaving a hole in the scorched earth.
The Flame-Tailed Lion King lay panting on the hillside, realizing for the first time how troublesome the young man was.
He was not fighting against a young general.
These methods, these schemes, these one move after another.
He's even more troublesome than the seasoned and experienced Chu Qingtian!
It stopped fighting.
It retrieved the dozen or so remaining fire threads, which circled around its body to protect its vitals.
With both arms broken and his domain suppressed, if the fight continues, he will die in front of this dilapidated temple tonight.
Its four thousand years of cultivation cannot be broken here!
While standing still and gathering its strength, it looked around, searching for an opening to break through.
Just then, Yang Xiao had already closed in on it.
At this moment, he sheathed his Shadowless Blade and gripped his Army-Breaking Spear once more.
The spear was slightly raised, slowly pointing towards the Flame-Tailed Lion King's brow, a point of blazing white Solar Flame illuminating the spear tip.
The Flame-Tailed Lion King stared at the blazing white spear tip, its mane bristling.
It felt a threat even more terrifying than when it had just cut off its own hand.
It has lived for over four thousand years, growing from a lion cub into a Demon King; it has seen it all.
But at this moment, the string in its heart was indeed stretched to the limit.
The opponent had clearly lowered the long knife that had severed his arm, but now he was in even greater danger.
At this moment, its sense of crisis was almost overwhelming.
For the first time, I felt an instinct to flee for my life.
Blazing white Solar Flame burned on the tip of the spear. The Flame-Tailed Lion King stared at the fire, letting out a low growl.
Its voice still held a hint of ferocity, but it had lost its previous composure.
"The Red Lizard died at your hands, and there was a reason for that."
"But if you kill me, Yellow Wind Mountain will not let you go."
Yang Xiao pointed the Army-Breaking Spear diagonally at the ground.
Yellow Wind Mountain won't let him go?
Even on its deathbed, this lion was still thinking about using its reputation to intimidate others.
He said calmly, "If you still have the strength to speak, then continue."
"..."
The Flame-Tailed Lion King's mane suddenly bristled, and it no longer held back its power.
The Fire Pattern around his body spun wildly, and crimson flames climbed and condensed upwards from the severed ends of his two arms.
Click--!
Two hands formed from flames "grew" back.
The palm had no flesh or blood, only scorching flames rolling on the skin and fur. Each time the flames coalesced, they tore at the wound at the break point, causing excruciating pain.
Pain.
But it had no other way.
We'll give it our all.
"Roar--!!"
It roared and charged forward, its body surging with flames and heat. It swung its two fiery arms, each fist wrapped in intense fire, and slammed them repeatedly at Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao did not engage it in a direct confrontation.
The arm, frozen in flames, looked intimidating.
But that was sustained by Demon Power; with each breath it took, the power was depleted.
It's already so badly injured, it won't last much longer.
Just before each punch landed, he would shift his stance slightly Void-Treading Wind-Chasing Steps.
The fist grazed past his black armor, the flames missed their mark, and crashed into the ground, creating scorched craters.
One punch.
Two punches.
Three punches.
The Flame-Tailed Lion King missed several punches in a row, and its breathing became visibly disordered.
In addition to the severity of its injuries, each time it maintains its fiery arm, it struggles more than before.
The flames on his body had gradually faded from a fiery red, and the flames at the edges began to flicker.
Another punch missed.
The Flame-Tailed Lion King's chest and abdomen were directly exposed to Yang Xiao.
In the instant they passed each other, Yang Xiao finally drew his gun.
The Army-Breaking Spear was raised from its angled position pointing towards the ground and thrust straight in.
The Solar Flame at the tip of the spear was not intense, but at this moment it solidified into a line of platinum-gold flame, which suddenly poured into the chest of the Flame-Tailed Lion King!
