Chapter 140: Desperate Struggle

Chapter 140: Desperate Struggle

The black giant lion struggled wildly, and after a moment, finally broke free from the Ghost Suppressing Talisman's power!

Then, Qin Yun threw another Ghost Suppressing Talisman, subduing the black giant lion once again.

Each time he suppressed the Ghost King, he would use the strongest of the Six Dragon Forging Techniques to mercilessly beat the black giant lion.

This time, the Golden Fire Giant Lion did not resist at all, clearly having been thoroughly defeated by the Ghost King; otherwise, it would have definitely dispersed the Ghost King’s power.

"How long do you think your Ghost Suppressing Talismans will last?" the Ghost King laughed maniacally in pain.

Before long, Qin Yun ran out of Ghost Suppressing Talismans, and the talisman array had yet to absorb enough energy.

"I must stall the Ghost King as much as possible to buy time for Yuemei," Qin Yun glanced at Xiao Yuemei, then took out the Giant Spirit King Hammer, shouted loudly, and descended from the air, using the Six Dragon Forging Techniques to hammer the black giant lion.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Six Dragon Forging Techniques were extremely terrifying, but the black giant lion's body was incredibly resilient. It had already endured over ten rounds of attacks from the Six Dragon Forging Techniques and still stood firm.

"Ha ha... You're out of Ghost Suppressing Talismans!" the Ghost King laughed, allowing Qin Yun to continue his massive attacks on the lion's body.

Roar!

The black giant lion roared, releasing a powerful wave of mental energy!

Qin Yun immediately felt an excruciating pain in his head, as if it were about to explode. Fortunately, there was a mental star crystal in his mind that could release waves of mental energy to protect his brain; otherwise, his consciousness would have been completely erased.

He finally understood how evil spirits possessed the bodies of beasts—by releasing intense mental waves to erase their consciousness!

"You're still alive?" the Ghost King's voice echoed, snapping Qin Yun out of his pain.

Qin Yun, who had been attacked by the mental wave, was bleeding from his seven orifices, his head throbbing, and his vision gradually clearing up.

"Ha ha... You're quite something! As long as you still have consciousness, I'll make you taste all kinds of pain!" the Ghost King laughed, then drove the black giant lion to stab its claw, sharp like a giant knife, into Qin Yun's body, piercing through him.

Qin Yun screamed in agony, blood gushing out!

The black giant lion raised its paw and brought Qin Yun to its massive mouth. With one bite, it could swallow him whole!

"Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily. I want to play with you slowly, ha ha ha..." the Ghost King laughed triumphantly, then controlled the black giant lion to bite off Qin Yun's left arm, tearing it completely away!

"Ahhh!" Qin Yun let out a deafening scream.

Xiao Yuemei watched from a distance, clenching her jade teeth, waiting for the talisman array to absorb enough energy. Only then would she have enough power to suppress the Ghost King.

"His arm... His arm was eaten!" Xiao Yuemei covered her small mouth, unable to believe what she saw.

She knew that if Qin Yun used the Fire Cloud Step alone, he could easily escape the Ghost King, but taking her along made it impossible.

But he didn't leave her behind; instead, he chose to face the Ghost King, even at the cost of losing an arm!

This courage and sense of responsibility filled her with admiration, her heart fluttering as she watched Qin Yun's agonizing screams, her own heart aching.

Suddenly, the talisman array made from beast skin began to glow.

"Finally!" Xiao Yuemei was overjoyed, quickly picking up the beast skin and rushing toward the Ghost King several hundred meters away.

"Little girl, I'll come for you after I finish this guy. Why are you in such a hurry? Ha ha..." the Ghost King laughed.

"Die!" Xiao Yuemei swung the beast skin behind her and activated the talisman array.

After the talisman array was activated, a large burst of white light enveloped the black giant lion, and the entire array landed on the lion's body.

The black giant lion roared wildly, struggling fiercely on the ground, and flung Qin Yun off its claw.

Xiao Yuemei rushed over, catching the severely injured Qin Yun and quickly channeling her internal energy into him to stabilize his wounds.

After being covered by the Ghost Suppressing Talisman array, the black giant lion struggled for a while before collapsing on the ground, its black color fading, transforming back into the Golden Fire Giant Lion!

Xiao Yuemei looked at the wounded Qin Yun in her arms with deep concern, noticing the large hole in his abdomen.

She sighed softly, "This guy's Yellow Essence Meridians are truly remarkable... He uses the Heart Grass very well."

From the torn wound, many pale golden threads could be seen connecting, resembling the fibers in lotus roots. The most severe injury was his left arm, which had been forcibly torn off and eaten...

Xiao Yuemei looked at the severed arm with a pained expression, biting her lip, and then took out a handkerchief to cover the terrible wound. She was worried that Qin Yun would be shocked when he woke up and saw it.

Not far away, the Golden Fire Giant Lion lying on the ground moved slightly, startling Xiao Yuemei, who quickly got up, carrying Qin Yun and preparing to run.

"Little girl, don't panic!" the Golden Fire Giant Lion spoke, its voice low and weak.

"Big lion... Are you good or bad?" Xiao Yuemei asked in surprise.

"I'm good! Little human girl, don't be afraid; I mean no harm," the Golden Fire Giant Lion said.

"Then... Then where is my brother's arm? You swallowed it just now... Can you spit it out?" Xiao Yuemei pouted and asked softly.

"Yes... His arm is special, marked with the Heavenly Lion Totem." The Golden Fire Giant Lion struggled to move, lifting its head and spitting out an arm onto the ground.

Xiao Yuemei hurried over, picked up the arm, and was surprised to find it extremely hot. From the broken bone, she could see that the bones inside were purple-golden.

She also saw the Heavenly Lion Totem on the arm!

"Take it and it will reattach itself," the Golden Fire Giant Lion said.

Xiao Yuemei held the severed arm and placed it on Qin Yun's shoulder, where a faint golden light emerged, and the Yellow Essence Meridians, as if endowed with life, connected the arm.

Qin Yun gradually regained consciousness, lying on Xiao Yuemei's slender thighs, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Finally awake, you scared me to death!" Xiao Yuemei giggled.

"My arm..." Qin Yun couldn't help but touch it, then exclaimed in surprise, "Wasn't it broken? How did it come back?"

"The big lion spat it out for you... and it seems to have become stronger!" Xiao Yuemei remembered that when she picked up the arm, she saw the broken bone had turned purplish-gold, and the muscles were filled with flames.

"Let me sleep for a while, and I'll tell you about the Heavenly Lion Totem." The Golden Fire Giant Lion suddenly spoke, "Young man, you should rest too and recover from your injuries."

"Alright!" Qin Yun closed his eyes, allowing the Nine Yang Spirit Core to draw Nine Yang Essence into his body to heal himself. He still had several Light Pattern equipment pieces, which he activated now to release their healing power.

Xiao Yuemei laid him on a soft cushion, then went to dismantle the Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array.

Just as she finished putting away the stone slabs, she suddenly sensed several auras.

"It's Wu Youchen and the others! They've been drawn here by the commotion!" She hurriedly ran to Qin Yun's side, ready for battle.

This place was originally an ancient forest, but due to the Ghost King's possession of the Golden Fire Giant Lion, the surrounding trees for several kilometers had all been flattened.

When Wu Youchen and his group arrived, they saw the ten-meter-long giant lion lying on the ground, as well as Xiao Yuemei and the unconscious Qin Yun.

"Haha... Xiao Yuemei, you two are quite capable, managing to take down such a huge beast," Wu Youchen said, his face full of greed as he looked at the Golden Fire Giant Lion.

The other students felt the same way. They were all boys, and seeing Xiao Yuemei alone, they couldn't help but entertain improper thoughts.

"Don't come any closer!" Xiao Yuemei shouted coldly.

"Is Qin Yun dead? I just want to check on him... and on you too!" Wu Youchen sneered, running over quickly, then looking at the bracelet on Xiao Yuemei's wrist, he added with a smile, "Your bracelet and your little hand are both very pretty. I really like them, and I'd love to give them a kiss!"
