After a short while, this cunning black wolf reappeared from who knows where, causing chaos among Yang Qianrou's team.
Then, after injuring one more person, the cunning black wolf, under Yang Qianrou's furious assault, managed to escape again. Yang Qianrou and the others were so enraged they gnashed their teeth, yet they were powerless against this cunning beast.
As the black wolf was toying with Yang Qianrou and the others, relishing its victory and preparing to repeat its trick, its wolf head suddenly flew high into the air.
A few breaths later, the bleeding wolf head fell to the ground, rolling down the sloping terrain. Its eyes, wide open in death, stared at a figure.
"What was that?"
The speaker was Ning Beichen. Seeing the black wolf toying with Yang Qianrou and the others, he couldn't stand it any longer and struck it with his sword.
"Yang Qianrou, your cultivation is not bad, but your combat strength is insufficient. Next time, I will point out your weaknesses."
"Yes."
Yang Qianrou and the others blushed and quickly agreed.
"Alright, let's go."
Ning Beichen waved them off dismissively. He knew their capabilities and understood it wasn't their fault they couldn't deal with the cunning black wolf.
Before long, Yang Qianrou and the others reached the edge of the mountain range. Once they crossed it, they would successfully leave this area.
Therefore, their hearts were filled with excitement.
However, would the beast kings of this region let them escape so easily?
If these humans escaped his territory, how could he, the beast king, maintain his dignity? How could he face the fallen beasts?
It's not that beasts are not human. Humans have their world, and they see beasts as outsiders. But remember, beasts also have their world, and in their eyes, humans are merely outsiders.
"Kill them! Don't let these humans leave the territory."
The Golden Lion commanded his subordinates to intercept Ning Beichen and the others fiercely. The beast king himself prepared to strike.
With two swift sword strikes, Ning Beichen felt something targeting him. However, the surrounding beasts were too numerous for him to identify them individually.
Even if something was indeed targeting him, Ning Beichen didn't care, only becoming more vigilant in his heart to avoid any surprise attacks.
High up on a large rock, the Golden Lion stared intently at Ning Beichen. This human, like an ant, had killed many of its subordinates, making Ning Beichen the Golden Lion's target.
Seeing Ning Beichen kill hundreds of its subordinates with just two sword strikes, the Golden Lion was filled with rage. If this human continued to kill like this, it would soon become a solitary king.
"No, I must stop him."
"No! I will kill him! I will tear him to shreds and consume him, turning him into feces!"
The Golden Lion thought ferociously in its heart.
Seeing that Ning Beichen and the others were about to cross its territory, the Golden Lion decided not to wait any longer. Another mountain range was the territory of the Rhinoceros King, and it didn't want to clash with that brute.
"Die!"
The Golden Lion let out a deafening roar, making Yang Qianrou and the others stagger.
Then, the Golden Lion leaped from the high rock, pouncing viciously towards Ning Beichen below.
The moment the Golden Lion harbored malevolent intent towards him, Ning Beichen had already spotted it.
This thing was so dazzlingly golden that even someone with cataracts could see it clearly. Moreover, Ning Beichen wasn't blind, and his eyesight was already sharper than an eagle's.
Therefore, as the Golden Lion lunged at him, Ning Beichen had already acted, unleashing a sword strike towards the Golden Lion.
A sword dragon roared out, landing on the Golden Lion.
Ordinary moves might not have injured the Golden Lion, but Ning Beichen was using the Songshan Sword Art.
Ning Beichen wasn't foolish; he had already realized that this Golden Lion was likely the king of this region, and the beasts attacking them were its subordinates.
When dealing with a beast king, Ning Beichen naturally wouldn't hold back.
The sword dragon left a wound on the Golden Lion's abdomen, causing it to cry out in pain, but it also ignited its fury.
How dare a human ant wound it, the noble beast king? It was unforgivable.
Filled with rage, the Golden Lion swiped its large, sharp claws at Ning Beichen, creating a world-shattering force.
With a deafening "Boom!"
A massive claw print appeared on the mountain range's ground. Even the towering trees and giant rocks that grew there were smashed to pieces by this claw strike.
However, there was no sign of Ning Beichen's corpse within the claw print, which puzzled the Golden Lion. Had he been smashed into powder?
"What are you looking at, big guy?"
Ning Beichen's voice reached the Golden Lion's ears. It quickly turned its head, only to find the annoying human had appeared behind it at some point.
Before it could react, it saw the sword dragon charging towards it.
With a "howl,"
The Golden Lion stretched its neck and let out a strange cry, it was unclear if it was in pain or something else. Then, it leaped high into the air, blood flowing from its hindquarters.
It turned out that the sword dragon's attack had been incredibly precise, which explained the Golden Lion's strange cry.
This was not Ning Beichen's intention. It was just that as the Golden Lion turned its head, it exposed a vulnerable spot.
The sword dragon, without any hint of shyness, burrowed in without hesitation, resulting in this peculiar scene.
"Roar!"
"Roar! Roar!"
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The Golden Lion began to wail incessantly, its eyes filled with hatred as it looked at Ning Beichen, the perpetrator.
With a rumble,
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning descended from the clear sky, heading straight for Ning Beichen.
This was the Golden Lion's innate divine ability.
Every beast king possessed its own innate divine ability. The Golden Lion's was the control of lightning. Even at the cost of becoming weakened afterward, it was determined to use its divine ability to turn this detestable human into charcoal.
Ning Beichen was startled by the sudden bolt of lightning. Fortunately, he had been alert and immediately moved from his spot, dodging the lightning strike.
However, the Golden Lion hated him to the bone and continued to control lightning to attack Ning Beichen.
Although Ning Beichen was powerful, he didn't dare to block the lightning with his body.
Even if he possessed the Prajna Golden Body, it could withstand physical attacks but not non-physical attacks like lightning.
