A One-on-One Duel: Slaying the Chihuo Frenzied Lion!

The Chihuo Frenzied Lion soared into the sky, its flames surging like a raging tide; the firelight shot into the heavens, turning half the sky crimson.

He instantly transformed into a beast, his entire body covered in crimson-gold mane, his four hooves treading on rolling fiery clouds, his vertical pupils filled with ferocity.

Both being at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, what was there to fear? His Fire Dao Immortal Foundation [Heaven-Burning Flame] manifested in the sky, and the temperature within a radius of ten thousand miles suddenly soared.

"You stupid bear, do you even dare to fight me?"

The Chihuo Frenzied Lion grinned, revealing a mouthful of fangs; having cultivated for over three thousand years, he had few rivals among his peers. Although the bear demon before him was also in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, it possessed some hidden strengths.

But if a real fight breaks out, the outcome is still uncertain!

Shi Jian stood in the void, his thunder spear pointing diagonally downwards, and instantly, lightning followed.

Seeing that he remained silent, the Chihuo Frenzied Lion became more wary; however, the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released, and the clan had ordered them to hold their ground, leaving him no way out.

"If it's war, let's fight it out!"

With a long roar, the Frenzied Lion unleashed the Innocent Fire of Anime; carrying the power to burn the heavens and earth, it swept in, threatening to incinerate everything.

Shi Jian stepped forward, his figure moving like lightning; Purple Pivot Lightning exploded on his body, transforming into a streak of purple-gold light that pierced through the sea of fire head-on.

The sea of fire crashed down, leveling several mountain peaks below; lava gushed forth, rocks flew, and flames raged everywhere!

Seeing that its first attack missed, the Chihuo Frenzied Lion once again mobilized its Immortal Foundation to crush down; amidst the surging fire clouds, countless crimson-gold fire beasts materialized out of thin air and attacked Shi Jian.

Shi Jian flicked the tip of his spear.

A purple-gold lightning arc shot out from the tip of the spear, transforming into a lightning net; the lightning net swelled with the wind, blocking all the fire beasts in the sky.

The collision of lightning and fire exploded into countless orbs of light, shattering the void into pieces.

"War!"

The Chihuo Frenzied Lion then transformed into human form; it retrieved a crimson-gold longsword from its storage Law Treasure, the blade inscribed with Fire Dao runes and radiating intensely hot heat...

He swung his sword, and a crimson-gold blade of light ripped through the void, heading straight for Shi Jian.

Upon seeing this, Shi Jian raised his spear to meet the attack head-on, the spear tip colliding directly with the blade's edge; a deafening roar erupted, and shockwaves spread in all directions, shattering the surrounding clouds for miles around.

The Chihuo Frenzied Lion's expression changed slightly.

His strike landed squarely, and the bear demon opposite him actually took it head-on; what surprised him even more was that the bear demon didn't budge an inch.

It is evident that this bear's true strength cannot be measured by ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

Shi Jian sighed inwardly, impressed by the incredible strength of his body after the tempering of the Barbarian Bone. He had barely used any of his Immortal Foundation power to withstand the attack, relying solely on his physical body.

In the past, he would have definitely avoided this strike.

But things are different now.

"My turn."

Shi Jian spoke calmly, then stomped his foot; the void shattered, and he transformed into a streak of purple-gold lightning, instantly closing in on the Chihuo Frenzied Lion.

The lightning spear thrust out, its tip transforming into a point of deep black light.

The Chihuo Frenzied Lion was terrified and swung its sword to block.

When!

The clang of metal against metal was deafening; a crimson gold longsword was knocked away by a single spear thrust; and the Chihuo Frenzied Lion's jaws were split open, blood gushing forth.

He was horrified; how could this bear demon's power be so terrifying?

Despite being at the same cultivation level, their Savage Wilderness power was terrifyingly heavy.

Shi Jian gave him no chance to breathe, his gun flashing like rain; one thrust after another, each shot as fast as lightning and as fierce as thunder.

The Chihuo Frenzied Lion retreated dozens of miles, its body erupting with flames; it activated its Fire Dao Immortal Foundation, enveloping itself in a layer of crimson-gold fire shield.

"Don't even think about getting close!"

He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of his natal fire, which was dark red in color; this was the natal fire he had cultivated for three thousand years, and its power far exceeded that of ordinary spells.

Shi Jian's eyes turned cold. He had even brought out his life essence fire, it seemed he was really desperate.

He held the gun in one hand and made a hand Hand Seals with the other; countless mysterious Profound Lightning gathered, and the Purple Pivot Lightning condensed in his palm, transforming into rolling heavenly thunder that collided head-on with his natal essence fire.

Rumble!

Thunder and fire collided, blasting a massive black hole into the void; at the edge of that black hole, chaotic undercurrents surged, and the Principle of heaven and earth were twisted and deformed by the force of the collision.

The Chihuo Frenzied Lion was panting heavily. His life essence fire had been blocked, and his aura had weakened by three-tenths. His life essence fire was greatly depleted, and he would not use it unless it was a matter of life and death.

But he never expected that the bear demon before him would be so powerful.

Shi Jian, however, remained unfazed.

He activated his Immortal Foundation, causing his internal energy to surge; the Daoist essence of his Barbarian Bone Dao resonated with the Purple Pivot Lightning, and a faint white halo of light emanated from the depths of his bones.

These are the changes after the Barbarian Bone Body Tempering.

His physical strength has doubled, and combined with the explosive power of the Purple Pivot Lightning, he is virtually unmatched among his peers.

"It's over."

Shi Jian said calmly, and with a stomp of his foot, he transformed into a streak of purple-gold light, instantly traversing layers of void...

The Chihuo Frenzied Lion's expression changed drastically as he desperately activated his Fire Dao Immortal Foundation to resist; however, his natal essence fire was more than half depleted, and his aura was weakening, so how could he withstand Shi Jian's thunderous attack?

The lightning spear thrust out.

The spear tip transformed into a single point, an extremely sharp purple-gold light, so fine, so bright, and so fast; the fiery shield of the Chihuo Frenzied Lion was as fragile as paper before this spear, and was pierced in an instant.

Puff!

The spear tip pierced his chest and emerged from his back; blood gushed forth, staining a large expanse of the void crimson.

Chihuo Ruthless Lion's eyes widened, his vertical pupils filled with disbelief; he looked down at the thunder spear piercing his chest, opened his mouth as if to say something, but only a wad of bloody foam came out of his throat.

Shi Jian remained expressionless as he tightened his grip on his gun.

Boom!

The Purple Pivot Lightning Fire erupted within the spear shaft, flowing into the Chihuo Frenzied Lion's body along the spear tip; the thunderfire raged within him like a mad python, shattering his internal organs, meridians, and bones.

The Nascent Soul of the Chihuo Frenzied Lion had just emerged from its shattered body when it was struck by a purple-gold lightning bolt; the Nascent Soul screamed and shattered into several pieces, its divine soul turning to ashes in the lightning and fire.

Shi Jian drew his spear, and lightning bolts shot out from the tip; those lightning bolts, like snakes, swirled in the void for a moment before dissipating.

The corpse of the Chihuo Frenzied Lion remained nailed to the void.

After death, its physical body transformed into its true form; the enormous lion's body hung stiffly in mid-air, blood still gushing from the blood hole in its chest.

Blood cascaded down like a waterfall, leaving a blinding trail of crimson in the air.

Shi Jian let go, and the corpse, losing its support, plummeted from the sky; the lion's body crashed to the ground like a meteorite, landing with a thud on Fang Yi.

Rumble!

The mountaintop was smashed to pieces, with rocks flying everywhere and dust billowing into the sky; the entire mountain shattered inch by inch under this impact, turning into a sky full of broken rocks.

As the smoke and dust cleared, the corpse of the Chihuo Frenzied Lion lay amidst the rubble in the deep pit; its vertical pupils remained wide open, its death unfulfilled.

The several Nascent Soul Frenzied Lion at the East Mine entrance stood frozen in the void.

They stared wide-eyed at the fallen corpse, speechless for a moment; the Demon King Chihuo was dead, impaled by the bear demon's spear, not even his Nascent Soul could escape.

Silence reigned.

The entire Frenzied Lion Clan at the East Mine entrance fell into a deathly silence at this moment; they stared at the purple-gold figure in the void, a chill running down their spines.

Shi Jian stood proudly, his thunder spear pointing diagonally at the sky.

His gaze swept over the Frenzied Lion Clan below, his voice calm yet carrying the power of Dao of Lightning, echoing for tens of thousands of miles.

Those who surrender will be spared death.

Those who resist will be killed without mercy! Just like now!
