A pitch-black radiance burst forth. As the Black Thunder Pearls neared the cave entrance, within a mere ten feet, a terrifying explosion erupted. The mountain peak trembled violently, and the black thunder unleashed an endless, ferocious malevolence. Immediately after, a mournful wail pierced the air. Two of the three Gale Spirit Lions had their legs blown off, while the third had one of its eyes blasted out, emitting a whimper of furious pain.
In an instant, the Gale Spirit Lion with the blinded eye charged straight at Ye Wushuang, its roar filled with rage as it swung a massive paw down. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Ye Wushuang. A black dagger transformed into a streak of light and slashed through the air with a *whoosh*. A *puh-chi* sound rang out as blood splattered. The Gale Spirit Lion’s paw exploded into pieces.
Su Jinyue’s movements were incredibly swift. Her black dagger was as sharp as it could be. After severing the paw of the blinded Gale Spirit Lion, she swiftly turned her attention to the other two. The two Gale Spirit Lions, still dazed from the Black Thunder Pearls’ explosion, had no time to react before the dagger left numerous bloody marks on their bodies. Su Jinyue, intent on demonstrating her prowess, struck with both speed and precision.
In no time, she stood beside Ye Wushuang, her black dagger dripping blood onto the ground. “What do you think? I didn’t deceive you, did I?” Su Jinyue said with a hint of pride.
“Not bad,” Ye Wushuang replied nonchalantly.
The three Gale Spirit Lions were almost incapacitated, clearly lacking the strength to fight back. “Two for me, one for you,” Su Jinyue suggested. To calculate spirit points, one had to personally kill the spiritual beast and absorb its soul’s power.
Ye Wushuang had no objections. He stepped forward and delivered a powerful punch. *Boom*—the Gale Spirit Lion’s head burst open, spraying blood everywhere. Su Jinyue then moved to kill the other two…
Soon, the battle was over. Su Jinyue was slightly out of breath, her chest heaving, and a few beads of sweat trickled down her delicate face. “Why show off…” Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but say, “Your injuries aren’t fully healed yet. Even with miraculous medicine, it will take a few more days to recover completely.”
Su Jinyue stubbornly retorted, “Who told you to underestimate…” But before she could finish, Ye Wushuang suddenly swept her into his arms and rolled them both several yards away. Su Jinyue, pinned beneath Ye Wushuang, her face flushed red, stammered, “You… you…”
*Boom*—at that very moment, where they had just been standing, a terrifying barrage of wind blades swept through, creating a nine-zhang-wide crater in the ground, still smoking.
Su Jinyue, dazed, muttered, “You… you hurt me…” At that moment, from the other side of the mountain peak, three more Gale Spirit Lions rushed to the cave entrance, standing beside the bodies of the three deceased Gale Spirit Lions, wailing mournfully.
“There are three more…” Su Jinyue’s face turned pale.
Ye Wushuang, after a careful observation, said, “The three that died were females; these three are males…”
Mated pairs?
Su Jinyue’s face turned ashen. They had truly stirred up a hornet’s nest!
Ye Wushuang extended his hand. Su Jinyue, bewildered, asked, “What for?”
“Black Thunder Pearls!”
“I don’t have any more…” Su Jinyue replied sheepishly, “Black Thunder Pearls are extremely effective against early Tiangang Realm targets. I only brought twenty in total. I used eighteen to hunt a group of low-grade third-rank spiritual beasts earlier, and those were the last two!”
…
Ye Wushuang’s energy spirals condensed around him as he said, “I’ll take the lead in attacking; you provide support!”
“I…”
“Strike when the opportunity arises!”
Without giving Su Jinyue a chance to respond, Ye Wushuang flashed forward and launched his attack.
Su Jinyue, taken aback, clicked her tongue in irritation, gritted her teeth, and followed Ye Wushuang with her black dagger in hand.
The three Gale Spirit Lions, still immersed in the grief of their mates’ deaths, were enraged to see the seemingly weak humans daring to attack. A earth-shattering roar echoed through the mountains and forests, causing the leaves to swirl violently.
One of the Gale Spirit Lions moved with the speed of lightning, attacking Ye Wushuang directly. Ye Wushuang clenched his palm, gathering his finger energy.
“Finger Shatter!”
A single finger thrust forward, a surge of spiritual energy transformed into a finger beam, exploding outward as it struck, leaving a series of finger marks that blasted out.
However, the Gale Spirit Lion was surrounded by a nimbus of spiritual energy, its fur shimmering with a blue light, and it unleashed a series of howling wind blades in response.
*Clang, clang, clang…*
Under the intense collision, a terrifying malevolent aura rippled outward.
Ye Wushuang grunted and retreated several yards, while the Gale Spirit Lion’s offensive momentum was also blocked.
“Tiangang Realm, third level…”
Ye Wushuang’s eyes turned cold. The power of the Finger Shatter technique was insufficient.
He clenched his palm again, and the Tianxia Sword appeared in his hand.
“Slash!”
The Six Yuan Merge Sword Technique activated, and a howling sword energy burst forth. Terrifying sword energy swirled around Ye Wushuang as he unleashed the Ascend the Empty Void move. Sword beams rained down from the sky, breaking through the Gale Spirit Lion’s wind blades and striking its body.
*Puh-chi, puh-chi* sounds rang out.
Several sword beams struck the surface of the Gale Spirit Lion’s body, but they merely cut through its fur and skin without inflicting serious injuries.
The attacking Gale Spirit Lion, witnessing this, its eyes trembled. This young man posed a threat to it.
The Gale Spirit Lion let out a low roar, and its two companions arrived at that moment. Clearly, the three Gale Spirit Lions were preparing to confront Ye Wushuang together.
