Chapter 68: Slaying the Lion

Chapter 68: Slaying the Lion

The first combat platform was large, but now most of it was covered in flames.

The entire Hidden Dragon Martial Arena had become very hot.

Everyone watched the flames intently, waiting for Xiao Lang to emerge.

However, at this moment, Qin Yun took out another stack of beast skin spirit talismans and threw them out...

"Where does this guy get all these spirit talismans from? Are they just lying around for him to pick up?"

"Even if he picked them up, who would use them like this? A single beast skin spirit talisman, even a low-grade one, costs seven or eight hundred crystals. And they're hard to come by!"

"There must be over eighty of them, worth about ten thousand crystals. The masked man is really going all out to win!"

The spirit talismans Qin Yun threw out burst into flashes and thunderous explosions, stunning everyone into silence!

"Roar!"

A beast's roar echoed as the snow lion suddenly charged out of the sea of fire!

The people from the Tian Xiao Empire suddenly felt relieved.

It was clear that both Xiao Lang and the snow lion were wearing good defensive gear.

The snow lion could withstand so many fire talisman attacks, which showed how powerful it was. It charged out of the fire and lunged crazily towards Qin Yun!

Suddenly, a faint golden cold aura surged from the snow lion's mighty body, indicating that its martial soul was gold-grade, a high-level martial soul.

The snow lion's attack was fierce; the numerous fire talismans did not cause much damage to it but managed to hold back Xiao Lang.

Qin Yun looked at the charging snow lion and inwardly gasped, "This is a seventh-stage beast, while I'm only at the fifth level of the Martial Body realm, and I haven't even cultivated my Heart Sutra. The strength disparity is too great; I can't engage in direct combat with this creature!"

Immediately, he made a decision and threw out a large number of beast skin spirit talismans—thunder talismans and fire talismans—towards the snow lion, at least fifty of them!

A vast expanse of flames rolled forward like clouds, and writhing lightning snakes lunged at the charging snow lion, enveloping it completely!

Everyone watching saw him recklessly throwing out the thunder and fire talismans, causing their hearts to skip a beat. This was simply... too extravagant!

"I have to take down this beast first, otherwise, I won't be able to defeat Xiao Lang!"

Qin Yun's expression was grave as he watched the flames and lightning, not daring to enter himself.

The people from the Tian Xiao Empire and the Xuan-level Martial Academy remained calm because they knew the snow lion's strength!

After a moment, another fierce roar sounded, and the snow lion emerged again!

Qin Yun stepped back a few paces, feeling extremely heavy-hearted. The power of a seventh-stage beast left him feeling helpless.

He had thrown out so many spirit talismans, yet the snow lion remained fierce!

The snow lion's speed was slightly slower than before, indicating it had been injured.

Seeing Qin Yun clench his teeth and his grim face, everyone knew he had run out of beast skin spirit talismans.

For someone at the fifth level of the Martial Body realm to face such a powerful seventh-stage beast and hold on this long was already something to be proud of.

"This is unfair. Xiao Lang's beast is so strong; he doesn't even need to fight himself to win!"

"The masked man is going to concede; he must know his situation."

Just as everyone was waiting for Qin Yun to admit defeat, he suddenly threw a punch!

Thunder Pattern Bracelet!

A surge of lightning threads suddenly appeared on Qin Yun's wrist!

"Boom!" The Thunder Pattern Bracelet activated, sending a thick lightning snake towards the charging snow lion, more than ten meters away!

The snow lion's head was hit, emitting a deafening roar!

Qin Yun held his breath, feeling a momentary relief, thinking he had succeeded, but unexpectedly, the snow lion roared continuously and charged even more fiercely!

The snow lion was battered and bruised, with its head bleeding profusely, making it even more ferocious, unleashing its savage nature!

"Do it again!" Qin Yun had no choice but to use the other Thunder Pattern Bracelet.

Boom!

The snow lion's head was hit again, finally collapsing!

"Beast, die!"

Qin Yun rushed forward, swinging his hammer and executing the "Thunder Shock" and "Roaring Thunder" techniques from the Six Styles of Dragon Forging, delivering two strikes in an instant!

His swift and fierce attacks struck the snow lion's head, producing a loud thud!

The snow lion's massive head shattered, breaking into fiery pieces!

The snow lion died!

Its head crushed, its body burning in flames!

Everyone gazed at the intense flames engulfing the snow lion, filled with shock.

Someone at the fifth level of the Martial Body realm had actually killed a seventh-stage beast—an unprecedented feat!

In the crowd, Yang Shiyue, wearing a mask, couldn't help but smile slightly!

In the VIP room, Meng Feiling laughed until her enchanting eyes could barely stay open!

The several old judges present were all moved, and the teacher from the Xuan-level Martial Academy wore an expression of disbelief.

The elders from the Tian Xiao Empire were shocked and furious!

After years of training and a massive investment of resources, the Snow Lion had become so powerful. Now it was killed, causing a tremendous loss!

"Has he used up all his equipment? Even so, taking down a seventh-stage demonic beast is worth it!"

"Indeed, the masked man's items, when added together, are worth about fifteen to sixteen thousand, but the corpse of a seventh-stage demonic beast is valued at over fifty thousand, even higher!"

"It's just a pity that he can't take the Snow Lion's corpse away..." As this person spoke, they saw Qin Yun store the Snow Lion's corpse into a storage spirit artifact.

Everyone was stunned and immediately looked at the elders from the Tian Xiao Empire, who were livid with anger.

"Masked man, hand over the Snow Lion's corpse! It belongs to our Tian Xiao Empire!"

"You're openly stealing!"

"Stealing from our Tian Xiao Empire will have serious consequences!"

The elders from the Tian Xiao Empire shouted in rage, their fury uncontrollable.

Qin Yun ignored them and instead looked at the flames on the stage, where Xiao Lang was still inside!

"For killing my beast pet, you'll pay with your life!" A roar of anger came from within the flames.

Xiao Lang was enveloped in golden light, his golden-red armor resisting the onslaught of fire talismans and lightning talismans!

He only emerged after the flames subsided because he had been channeling his inner strength into the armor to resist such intense flames. This was at least a low-grade spirit armor!

Seeing Xiao Lang full of energy and unscathed, Qin Yun frowned.

Xiao Lang's angry sword thrust suddenly came at him!

In the terrifying sword momentum, burning with murderous intent, the humming sword chant sounded like the voice of death, causing Qin Yun to fall into endless fear!

Even those around the stage could feel the terror of this sword momentum, let alone Qin Yun!
