With spiritual sense as his advantage, Lin Xuan chose to pick them off one by one.
First, he would kill the two that were outside.
To be safe, he stored Qingtan and the three little tigers into the furnace.
Then, with Hu Ying and the leopards, he waited at the foot of the mountain for the returning fire lions.
After patient waiting, by dusk, two Emerald-Eyed Fire Lions returned from the forest, each carrying prey. One of them was even badly injured.
Lin Xuan quickly gave instructions: he and Bao Qiang would strike the one in front, while Hu Ying and Bao Zhen handled the injured one behind.
"End it in one strike. Quick and decisive!" Lin Xuan ordered.
The beasts nodded excitedly, eyes gleaming with bloodlust.
Especially Hu Ying, whose gaze burned with murderous intent.
This was the day he had dreamed of countless times—the chance for revenge had finally arrived!
Hu Ying roared and charged first.
[Mission: Hunt down mid-stage Heavenly Origin Emerald-Eyed Fire Lion. Reward: One bottle of Fifth-Grade Bone-Tempering Pills.]×2
After establishing the mission, Lin Xuan unleashed his Flowing Wind Step.
From his Qiankun Bag, he drew out the Crushing Peak Spear and charged.
Bao Qiang followed closely, flanking from the side.
One man, one tiger, two leopards.....attacking simultaneously.
"Roar!"
The leading fire lion dropped its prey, roaring furiously.
"Chasing Cloud!"
"Severing Moon!"
Lin Xuan thrust his spear like lightning. With Flowing Wind Step, his spear glittered like a storm of silver sparks.
The lion swiped its massive claw, blue power radiating, trying to shatter Lin Xuan's weapon.
But after dozens of thrusts, its paw was pierced through, greatly weakening its strength.
"Blazing Hundred Slashes!"
Lin Xuan lifted his spear high and smashed down with immense force.
Wrapped in Origin Energy, the spear tip sparked against the air, releasing a giant arc of spear light that slammed into the lion.
Boom!
The lion crashed heavily to the ground, unable to move again.
"Roar!"
Bao Qiang pounced late, biting at the lion's neck ferociously—only to find it already dead.
"Wu~ roar…" Embarrassed, he released his grip. Master had been too fast, leaving him no chance.
"Get ready. The rest of the pack is coming." Lin Xuan's eyes fixed on the mountaintop. His spiritual sense had already detected the fire lions charging down.
Clearly, the earlier roar of the dying lion had alerted the rest.
Hu Ying and Bao Zhen were still engaged with the injured lion.
The pressure now fell on Lin Xuan and Bao Qiang.
Six lions rushed down together.
Among them, two were at Heavenly Origin....one early-stage, one late-stage.
Lin Xuan remained calm, establishing missions in his mind:
[Mission: Hunt down late-stage Heavenly Origin Emerald-Eyed Fire Lion. Reward: Advanced Qiankun Bag.]
[Mission: Hunt down early-stage Heavenly Origin Emerald-Eyed Fire Lion. Reward: One bottle of Fifth-Grade Rejuvenation Pills.]
[Mission: Hunt down Earth Origin Emerald-Eyed Fire Lions. Reward: One bottle of Fourth-Grade Blood-Essence Pills.]×4
Just as the missions were set, the six lions arrived.
Seeing their fallen kin, they roared madly, emerald eyes glowing, charging like crazed beasts.
The six Green-Eyed Fire Lions charged down aggressively.
Lin Xuan locked his sights on the lion king and thrust the Break-Mountain Spear forward to meet it head-on.
He had just slain one of the fire lions earlier, but his yuan power hadn't diminished much at all.
His yuan power was abnormally strong. At the Earth Origin Realm, he had absorbed innate Yin Sha Qi.
Later, when he broke through to the Sky Origin Realm, he had consumed nearly a hundred Yangyuan Pills.
His yuan power far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators of the same stage.
Between the Earth Origin and Sky Origin Realms, the key was the refinement of yuan power. The amount and quality of Yin Sha Qi and Yang Gang Qi absorbed both determined the final strength.
The higher the quality, the more terrifying the power.
Thus, though Lin Xuan was technically only at the early Sky Origin Realm, his yuan power could rival or even surpass that of a late-stage Sky Origin Realm expert.
For example—if others needed 100 units of yuan power to kill a Green-Eyed Fire Lion, Lin Xuan would need only 10!
Dragging his spear along the ground, the tip carved a deep groove into the fallen leaves as he dashed forward.
As he neared the lion king, Lin Xuan suddenly leaped, his spear cutting through the air, releasing a moon-shaped arc of yuan force.
"Roar!"
The lion king bellowed, its body flaring with cyan light as it braced itself against Lin Xuan's blow while lunging at him.
Its gaping maw seemed wide enough to swallow Lin Xuan whole.
"Bold move!"
"Decisive enough!"
"But can you endure it?!"
Lin Xuan sneered inwardly. He had no thought of retreating. The Break-Mountain Spear was a rune-treasure, strengthened by engravings that enhanced its durability, sharpness, and weight.
With his charged strike, the force unleashed was at least one hundred thousand jin.
Bang!
The lion king twisted its head aside at the last instant.
The spear slammed into the back of its neck, smashing its body out of midair and driving it into the ground.
Using the momentum, Lin Xuan stepped on
to its skull and vaulted past.
"Rooarrr…"
