With a low shout, the Light-Chasing Leopard's body suddenly stiffened, and its eyes revealed a human-like terror.

It sensed an unknown crisis, and all its fur bristled.

"Danger!"

Warnings flashed in its mind.

It struggled desperately to retract its claws and dodge.

But all of this was too slow.

Underestimating its opponent had cost it the best chance to evade.

Even though it was famed for speed, it was futile.

"Boom!"

With one punch, the Light-Chasing Leopard let out a pained shriek.

Its claw was directly shattered.

That's right, shattered—the entire right front paw was blown to pieces.

And it wasn't over yet!

Lin Mo's Hegemon Fist maintained its momentum, striking the Light-Chasing Leopard's head again.

"Bang~"

For an instant, time seemed to freeze in the entire valley.

The wind stopped, and sound faded into nothingness.

The Light-Chasing Leopard's mournful cry also ceased abruptly.

Seconds later, the massive headless leopard body crashed to the ground.

"Dead... dead?"

"No way? That was a Level Five Light-Chasing Leopard, and it just died like that?"

"He... is this strong?"

"..."

Behind the cliff wall, Lin Dabao, Chen Jia, Xiao Ya, and Liu Peipei all stared wide-eyed, incredulous at the scene in the valley.

At this moment, their minds were blank.

Lin Mo withdrew his stance and turned to look at the Golden Armored Savage Bear on the other side.

Now, with a Blood Qi Value of 884 cards, a 12-fold amplification from Hegemon Fist, plus a 50% amplification from the Thunder Element, his combat power had reached 15,912.

With another increase of over 2,000 points, he could directly rival the combat power of a Sixth-grade Martial Artist.

One-shotting this Level Five Light-Chasing Leopard was naturally well within his grasp.

And his choice to kill the Light-Chasing Leopard first had its own reasoning.

Between the two exotic beasts, the Golden Armored Savage Bear had extremely strong defense, comparable to a Level 6 Exotic Beast.

The Obsidian Gauntlets he wore could break through the defense of a Level Five Exotic Beast with ease, but breaking through defense comparable to a Level 6 Exotic Beast was uncertain.

This meant he didn't have a 100% guarantee of one-shotting the Golden Armored Savage Bear.

Secondly, the Light-Chasing Leopard was a light-attribute exotic beast, known for its speed.

If he killed the Golden Armored Savage Bear first, the Light-Chasing Leopard wouldn't be stupid—if it fled or fought hit-and-run, he might not be able to deal with it for a while.

After all, his combat power was nearly comparable to a Sixth-grade Martial Artist, but in terms of speed, he was still far behind a true Fifth-grade Martial Artist.

His Blood Qi Value was what it was; amplifying attack power didn't mean speed could be amplified at the same time.

In pure speed, he was inferior to the Light-Chasing Leopard.

So, he had to rely on the beast's initial underestimation to catch it off guard.

As long as he landed a hit, Lin Mo was confident he could kill it in one blow.

In fact, he guessed right, and he succeeded.

As Lin Mo looked over, the Golden Armored Savage Bear couldn't help but take two steps back.

The fear in its eyes was obvious.

It hadn't expected that the Light-Chasing Leopard, which had been evenly matched with it moments ago, would be killed instantly.

This tiny human before it—it could sense that his Blood Qi Value wasn't high, at most equivalent to a human Third-grade Martial Artist.

A Third-grade Martial Artist could one-shot a Level Five Light-Chasing Leopard?

Even Lin Dabao and the others couldn't figure it out, so the Golden Armored Savage Bear naturally understood even less.

And all of this happened too fast; everyone, including the bear, hadn't reacted yet.

Lin Mo's pace grew faster and faster.

Everyone's heartbeat, in this moment, seemed to quicken with Lin Mo's every step.

Lin Dabao and the others watched his every move with tense focus, their eyes growing wider and wider.

Earlier, when he one-shot the Light-Chasing Leopard, the motion had been so fast that not a single one of them had seen how Lin Mo did it.

This time, they didn't want to miss a single detail.

Crackle crackle~

As Lin Mo's pace grew faster, the flow of electric current also abruptly accelerated.

Lin Mo, like a Thunder God, charged at the Golden Armored Savage Bear under the lightning's glow.

Roar roar~

The Golden Armored Savage Bear was originally an extremely ferocious exotic beast.

But at this moment, it kept backing away, its eyes filled with terror, its entire body trembling.

Its panicked roars seemed to say: Don't come any closer.

However, just around the corner behind it was the cave where the Hundred Life Flower grew.

It hadn't been easy for it to find this Rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, and to wait for the Hundred Life Flower to mature, the Golden Armored Savage Bear had been guarding this spot for several days.

It never expected to be discovered by the Light-Chasing Leopard.

That was why the earlier fight had happened.

But even though the Light-Chasing Leopard, also a Level Five, was troublesome, it couldn't do anything to the bear.

Even if they ended up evenly matched, the bear at least had confidence it could hold onto its treasure.

Who would have thought that some Cheng Yaojin would pop up out of nowhere?

In an instant, it had one-shot the Light-Chasing Leopard, whose strength was no weaker than its own.

And now, it was charging straight at the bear.

The terrifying pressure of the lightning constantly stimulated its nerves.

If it retreated, the Hundred Life Flower it had worked so hard to guard would have to be handed over.

If it didn't retreat, it would most likely follow in the Light-Chasing Leopard's footsteps.

Faced with the choice between life and death, the Golden Armored Savage Bear finally let out an unwilling roar and chose to retreat.

"Stay right here!"

But how could Lin Mo let it leave?

Killing a Level Five Exotic Beast was worth 10 points.

If he hadn't run into it, fine—but since he had, of course he was going to harvest it.

His strength was already exposed anyway; no point in not killing it!

Roar~

The Golden Armored Savage Bear, already turning to flee, found that this human still wouldn't let it go, and was instantly filled with shock and fury.

It had already chosen to back down, and this damn human still wouldn't stop?

Even a bear had to get angry!

Roar roar roar~

Roaring without pause, the Golden Armored Savage Bear immediately entered a berserk state.

Fine, did this guy really think Bear One was a vegetarian?

The Golden Armored Savage Bear suddenly stood upright on its hind legs, its two massive paws swinging wildly at Lin Mo.

If those paws landed, breaking a few bones would be the least of the damage.

Lin Mo had no intention of dodging or retreating—he was going head-on!

The Mystery Grade Hegemon Fist blasted out again.

Mixed with the terrifying Lightning Power, even the surrounding air seemed to ignite in an instant, crackling with sound.

Between heaven and earth, it was as if only this single fist remained.

Even the berserk Golden Armored Savage Bear, in the moment the fist was about to land, had a flash of clarity in its eyes.

In the next instant, that clarity turned into boundless terror.

Wuwuwu~~

Its earlier roars instantly turned into whimpers.

Boom!

With one punch, the Golden Armored Savage Bear's massive body, comparable to a small steel fortress, was sent flying.

Lin Dabao and the others stared at the scene, their mouths gaping open in an O-shape!

Just one look at the Golden Armored Savage Bear's build was enough to tell how terrifying its weight was.

Yet Lin Mo's single punch sent it flying into the air.

Just how strong was that punch?

Still, the Golden Armored Savage Bear was worthy of being a standout among Earth Element Mutant Beasts.

After taking Lin Mo's heavy blow, though it was knocked back and injured, feeling terrible, not a single wound appeared on its hide.

In terms of endurance, it left the Light-Chasing Leopard from earlier in the dust.

"Roar!"

The Golden Armored Savage Bear stared at Lin Mo as he approached again, roaring repeatedly.

It was in agony now, feeling as if that punch had rattled its insides, nearly knocking the crap out of it.

It wanted to flee, but unfortunately, it had no advantage in speed.

So, it staggered to its feet, ready to make a final counterattack.

But the moment that thought arose, Lin Mo had already struck again.

The violet-glowing fist grew infinitely large in its eyes.

"Bam bam bam bam!"

Fists rained down like hail, relentlessly pounding its head.

Then, its consciousness gradually faded, forever frozen at that moment...
