Chapter Summaries

A Divine Fire Realm Wind-Thunder Leopard pursued Shi Yi into the deadly depths of Thunderclap Valley to avenge its slain offspring, then grew greedy for the treasure it suspected was protecting him. Shi Yi could not finish advancing his formation in time, so he prepared to fight the stronger beast.

• Shi Yi fled toward the depths of Heavenly Thunder Valley, and the wounded Wind-Thunder Leopard vowed to hunt him down after escaping the lightning sea.
