First Slay the Demon Lizard, Then Fight Two Cultivators!
War cries erupted, and lightning flashed.
Every time Shi Jian stomped on the ground, spiderweb-like cracks would appear, turning the green grass into scorched earth, and Yao Qi would sweep across the eight wastelands!
Almost simultaneously, the demonic lizard in the burrow suddenly opened its eyes!
Its vertical pupils were like lava, violent and ancient, devoid of any intelligence or clarity, only possessing the most primal killing and savagery.
"Roar--!"
A roar that sounded less like a lizard and more like a dragon's cry exploded from the ground, sending up scorching waves of air.
The next instant, the lizard burst out of the cave and faced the giant bear that was pouncing on it!
The demon lizard neither dodged nor avoided; its dark red scales, covering its entire body, suddenly tightened, and sparks of heat emanated from the edges of each scale.
With a snap of his teeth, a torrent of dark red flames rushed straight at Shi Jian's face!
This flame was exceptionally hot; it distorted the air in its wake and left a trench in the earth.
Court death!
Shi Jian hardened his heart and chose to fight to the bitter end. Silver-white arcs of electricity gathered wildly on his bear claws as he slammed his palm against the torrent of flames!
Boom!
The collision of thunder and fire exploded into a blinding sphere of light in mid-air.
The violent shockwave spread out in a ring, plowing the scorched earth within a radius of a hundred feet deeper by three feet!
The flames were torn apart, and the electric arc was vaporized.
A burning pain shot through Shi Jian's bear paw; the plates of the Thunder-Shrouding Mystic Armor were scorched red, but he managed to withstand it.
The lizard was also jolted by the immense force contained in the palm strike, causing its massive body to momentarily freeze.
Now!
Seizing this fleeting opening, Shi Jian suddenly lowered his body, sprinting along the ground, but in the blink of an eye...
Shi Jian had already reached the demon lizard and lashed out with his claws once more.
However, the demonic lizard reacted extremely quickly, its massive tail, as thick as an iron pillar, sweeping across the air with a piercing shriek that tore through the air!
Boom!
The two colossal creatures collided violently once more. Under the immense force, Shi Jian and the demonic lizard simultaneously created distance between themselves, their gazes locked on each other.
Compared to the fear in the eyes of the demon lizard, Shi Jian was even more shocked!
Despite being only a level three Demon Beast, a minor realm lower than himself, it was actually on par with him in terms of physical strength.
Indeed, bloodlines are truly a perverse thing!
Even though this demonic lizard only had a tiny bit of dragon blood on it, its combat power was terrifying; it was actually able to exchange a few blows with him.
After only a few exchanges, Shi Jian felt a surge of excitement.
He hadn't encountered an opponent of this caliber for a very, very long time, and in an instant, his beastly nature was unleashed, and his fighting spirit was boiling over!
"Aww!"
With a roar, Shi Jian was surrounded by lightning and charged forward once again.
This time, his momentum was even more fierce, and the ferocity in his eyes burst forth with a terrifying bloodlust. This time, Shi Jian was going all out!
It's faster, and the lightning is more ferocious.
Seeing this, the demonic lizard's ferocity surged, and it pounced on Shi Jian. The two giant creatures collided instantly, causing the earth to tremble and a demonic wind to sweep in all directions...
But Shi Jian was ultimately more intelligent, and had also studied memorization techniques for many years.
For a moment, it gained the upper hand, and then the bear's claws, like hooks, fiercely clawed at the lizard's belly, where it was the weakest point!
"Sizzle--!"
A piercing tearing sound rang out.
The bear's claws slashed five deep, bone-revealing gashes across the lizard's abdomen!
Scales flew about, and flesh was mangled and bloody.
However, the expected scene of being gutted did not occur; the lizard's flesh and scales were tougher than anyone could have imagined.
Shi Jian's claw only managed to break through a single layer of skin!
At the same time, crimson blood, resembling lava, seeped from the wound, carrying a strange fragrance. Shi Jian only had to smell it to feel a surge of heat throughout his body.
Dragon Blood!
The concentration of dragon blood in this beast's body was higher than he had expected!
Driven by excruciating pain, the demonic lizard went completely berserk, losing all its composure and attempting to crush Shi Jian to death with its body!
Shi Jian groaned as the demonic lizard rammed into his body, feeling a weight on his back as if he had been hit by a Xiaoshan.
The array patterns on the Thunder-Shrouding Mystic Armor flickered wildly, diverting and dissipating most of the Dao of Strength, but the terrifying impact still caused his Qi and Blood to surge.
You beast!
Despite being pinned down, Shi Jian showed no fear; instead, his ferocity intensified.
He braced himself firmly on the ground with his four limbs, opened his blood-red maw, and bit down on the wound on the lizard's abdomen, his canines gripping tightly!
The bear then began to sway its head from side to side, tearing at flesh and blood in a frenzy!
"Roar!"
The demon lizard let out a painful roar, rolling on the ground, trying to shake off Shi Jian, but Shi Jian would never give it a chance.
The more ferocious the demon lizard became, the larger the wounds from Shi Jian's bites grew!
A bear and a lizard, two enormous creatures, were tearing at and fighting each other in the most primitive and savage way on the scorched earth!
With the added protection of the Thunder-Shrouding Mystic Armor, Shi Jian was not afraid at all.
The lizard's neck was dislocated by Shi Jian's bear paw, large patches of scales shattered and fell off, leaving it covered in blood...
The battle gradually reached a stalemate, and the stench of blood permeated the entire field.
Shi Jian unleashed his true power, holding nothing back any longer. His Demon Core core spun wildly, and the Lightning Origin was pushed to its limit!
"Die!"
He seized an opportunity, abandoned all defense, and let the demon lizard's claws slap against his carapace. He then mobilized all his lightning power and poured it into his right palm!
At that moment, his right palm seemed to transform into a concentrated Lei Bao!
Boom!
Frenzied Thunder roared and lightning flashed as the palm strike pierced the lizard's head, piercing through it and causing half of its skull to explode.
The roar abruptly ceased, and the enormous demonic body went limp...
"Huff... huff..."
Panting heavily, Shi Jian crawled out from under the demon lizard's corpse. Although he was not seriously injured, most of his Demon Essence had been depleted.
But he won, albeit somewhat humiliatingly.
Shi Jian walked up to the Lei Thunder-Infused Orchid, carefully dug it out, sealed it with Yao Qi, put it into a jade box, and swallowed it.
Then, with a flick of its claws.
A Demon Core the size of a fist, entirely crimson gold, with a dragon-shaped phantom moving inside, fell into his mouth.
Demon Core entered his stomach, a surge of violent yet pure Spiritual Qi exploded forth.
The abundant Spiritual Qi continuously replenished Shi Jian's energy. Just as he was about to clean up the battlefield, the hair on his back suddenly stood on end!
Two sharp murderous intent attacked simultaneously from the left and right!
Fast! Ruthless! Accurate!
The attackers had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
On the left, a blood-red needle, as thin as a cow's hair, flew silently straight for Shi Jian's eye socket!
To the right was a large, silver net crackling with electricity, covering everything overhead. Runes flowed across the net, carrying a powerful binding force!
"Court death!"
Shi Jian didn't even turn his head; his beastly fighting instincts were on full display at this moment.
He suddenly stood up, his massive body twisting half a circle, and used his broad back covered in Xuanjia to take the electric net head-on!
Sizzle--!
The electric net covered the Xuanjia, bursting into a blinding burst of lightning. Countless runes shattered, and a powerful binding force attempted to penetrate, but it was all guided and diverted by the runes of the Thunder-Shrouding Mystic Armor.
At the same time, he struck out with his right palm with lightning speed, accurately hitting the blood-red flying needle!
"Clang!"
With a crisp sound, the flying needle was slapped away.
But a chilling and malevolent spiritual energy seeped into his palm, instantly paralyzing half of his arm.
Poisonous!
"A beast is a beast. To become sustenance for us cultivators is the destiny of a lowly animal like you. Feel honored!"
A smug voice rang out.
Two cultivators dressed in brocade robes appeared from behind a distant earthen mound; both were at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage stage...
One person holds a grid plate and activates the electric grid.
The other person Hand Seals to recall the flying needles, preparing to attack again.
It was none other than the Heavenly Secret Pavilion disciple who had previously provoked Shi Jian. It was truly a case of enemies meeting again, their eyes blazing with hatred, and he was truly courting death!
Their calculations were accurate; the bear demon had just experienced a major battle and was extremely weakened, making it its weakest point.
Two against one, a surprise attack guarantees victory!
However, they miscalculated one thing.
They had angered no ordinary spirit beast...
It was not a beast, but a real ferocious beast!
Bears do eat people!
"Roar--!!!"
A furious roar that shook the plains exploded from Shi Jian's throat.
His already fierce bear-like eyes were instantly filled with bloodlust, and his reason was completely overwhelmed by overwhelming killing intent.
On the Thunder-Shrouding Mystic Armor, all the runes shone brightly at the same time, and the electric net that bound him was actually burst apart by the violent Yao Qi and lightning power!
"Not good!"
The cultivator holding the array plate's expression changed drastically; he wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
Shi Jian completely disregarded the deadly poison in his arm. He exerted force with all four limbs, causing the ground to crack, and his entire body transformed into an unstoppable black torrent, rushing straight towards the cultivator...
There are no tricks, no mechanisms.
Only the purest, most primal... wildness!
"Bang!"
The bear's paw landed.
The cultivator didn't even have time to activate his protective Law Artifact before he was slapped into the ground...
Along with the bones and flesh, it turned into a shapeless puddle of mud.
Instant kill!
The other cultivator who used flying needles was stunned. Without thinking, he turned around and ran away, wishing he had two more legs.
