Beside the Stone Ape Demon King was also a single-horned giant ox, its body entirely green with a single horn on its head and nostrils larger than a baby's, its gaze fierce, precisely the Single-Horned Demon Ox.
"Who has slaughtered so many of our demon beasts?" roared the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao.
"Demon King, humans have been here, there's a human scent present," said the Single-Horned Demon Ox.
"Roar roar..."
Inside the canyon, numerous second-tier demon beasts murmured in low growls, seemingly speaking in some beast language.
"The Blood Lizard was captured by someone. Damn humans, I will never let him go." Moments later, the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao learned everything from a few second-tier demon beasts and became even more furious, revealing a vicious glare: "You all go back, I'll chase that human."
"Whoosh..."
The Nine-Headed Demon Jiao roared, its huge crimson wings flapping open, and its massive body chased forward at an incredibly fast speed.
"Bang bang..."
In a valley, several sonic booms suddenly echoed, followed by two figures soaring into the sky. On closer inspection, one could see that one of them was a youth in green being held in the hand of another person.
Using the Wind Wings, Li Lin had just captured another Sixth-Level Martial Master. On the back of the Heavenly Winged Snow Lion, Li Lin used the Devouring Power, and in moments, devoured the Sixth-Level Martial Master clean, handing the corpse over to Little dragon for consumption.
Li Lin then began to refine the true qi energy on his body. The true qi of this Sixth-Level Martial Master was much stronger than that of those Fifth and Fourth-Level Martial Masters.
Moments later, Li Lin stayed in a state of cultivation, rapidly refining the true qi energy he had devoured into his own.
Originally, Li Lin was already at the peak of the Seventh-Level Martial Master. After refining for a short while, he quickly felt the edge of a breakthrough.
A circle of pale yellow light enveloped the surroundings, and the aura began to slowly climb.
Half a day later, with a muffled sound within Li Lin's dantian qi sea, a huge energy began to surge rapidly, and without any surprises, Li Lin broke through to the Eighth-Level Martial Master, the space within his dantian qi sea expanding significantly.
"Boss, it seems like there are demon beasts chasing us from behind." Little dragon's voice echoed in Li Lin's mind.
Li Lin immediately looked back, only to see a huge demon beast chasing directly towards him from behind.
"Master, it's the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, it's chasing us," said the Blood Lizard on the back of the Heavenly Winged Snow Lion.
"Indeed, it's the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao." Li Lin took a close look, and the creature chasing from behind was indeed the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao.
"Human, you can't escape. You killed my demon beasts, I will tear you alive." In the sky behind, a huge roaring sound echoed.
Below the Wudu City Mountain Range, many mercenaries within it looked up, only to see a huge demon beast chasing a flying demon beast in the front sky.
"It's the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao from the dangerous area. How did it come out? Who provoked it?"
"It seems to be the person on the flying demon beast ahead."
The mercenary groups in the Wudu City Mountain Range watched the sky and immediately hid, not daring to provoke the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao above. However, their worries were unnecessary as the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao in the sky did not pay attention to them, directly chasing towards the front with lightning speed.
"Snow Lion, use the fastest speed." Li Lin's face changed drastically, the speed of the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao behind was also astonishingly fast, seeming to be getting closer and closer.
"Roar roar..."
The Heavenly Winged Snow Lion roared, its wings carrying a faint white glow, flashing forward like lightning, its speed pushed to the limit.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
"Human, you can't escape. I will catch you." The Nine-Headed Demon Jiao roared in the air behind, its wings flapping vigorously, chasing relentlessly.
"Little dragon, can you deal with this Nine-Headed Demon Jiao?" Li Lin asked Little dragon.
"Boss, the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao has reached the mid-stage of the Fifth Level. I can't handle it; it's too strong," Little dragon said.
"Mid-stage of the Fifth Level, equivalent to a Sixth and Seventh-Level Martial General." Li Lin frowned. Judging from the speed, the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao was even slightly faster than the Heavenly Winged Snow Lion. It could catch up to him in less than an hour.
The bloodline of this Nine-Headed Demon Jiao was also extremely high, not much inferior to the Heavenly Winged Snow Lion. Perhaps even a Seventh-Level Martial Warrior would have difficulty suppressing it. If he were to encounter it, there would be big trouble.
"Snow Lion, hide in the forest." Li Lin immediately said. In the forest, they might be able to delay for some time. In the sky, they simply could not escape the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao's pursuit.
"Whoosh."
The Heavenly Winged Snow Lion instantly headed towards the ground, diving into the boundless forest mountain range and disappearing from sight.
"Human, you can't escape." Far away, seeing the human in front entering the forest, the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao roared and directly charged into the mountain range.
In the forest of towering trees, Li Lin quickly put the Blood Lizard and the Heavenly Winged Snow Lion into the spatial beast bag and then fled like lightning.
Although Li Lin hoped to shake off the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao with the help of the forest, the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, being a Fifth-Level creature, could stretch and shrink its body at will, definitely able to chase into the forest. Li Lin did not dare to be careless, fully releasing his wind attribute and fleeing rapidly. With the cover of the forest, escaping was much easier than being chased.
"Roar..."
Giant roars echoed from behind in the forest. Li Lin did not dare to stop, fleeing rapidly. Relying on the wind attribute, his speed was indeed extremely fast.
"Damn Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, once I break through again, I will definitely eradicate it," Little dragon grumbled.
"Let's talk about your breakthrough later. Escaping for our lives is more important right now," Li Lin said, his figure not daring to stop.
After running wildly, the next day, Li Lin was somewhat exhausted and had to rest a bit, not knowing whether he had shaken off the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao behind him.
"Little dragon, let's rest for a bit. Did the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao chase us?" Li Lin asked Little dragon on his shoulder.
Little dragon raised his little head, looked around the forest behind, and said, "Boss, it didn't chase us. I can't feel the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao's aura."
"Whoosh..." Li Lin stabilized his body, observing the surroundings. This was a deep valley terrain. After running for a day and a night, probably the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao wouldn't be able to catch up to him so easily.
"Boss, someone's coming." Before Li Lin could rest for a moment, Little dragon suddenly stood upright and said.
"Eight people." Li Lin's eyebrows raised, sensing eight mercenaries rapidly approaching through his spiritual awareness.
"Swish swish..."
At that moment, a series of whooshing sounds erupted around Li Lin, and eight figures appeared, dressed differently, all young in appearance, six men and two women. Their cultivation levels ranged from the highest, Seventh-Level Martial Master, to the lowest, First-Level Martial Master. The team of eight was definitely considered strong.
"Fourth-Level Spirit Master." Li Lin's gaze fell on a young man in a grey robe, a smile curling on his lips. Although the strength of these eight people was considered good, Li Lin did not take them seriously.
"Kid, you dare to come to the Wudu City Mountain Range alone. Hand over your space bag, and we might consider sparing your life," the leader, a Seventh-Level Martial Master, said coldly to Li Lin with a sneer.
"Overestimating yourselves." Li Lin chuckled lightly and said, "Leave this Spirit Master, and I'll let you roll."
"Looking for death." The Seventh-Level Martial Master scolded coldly, his hand forming a palm strike that cleaved towards Li Lin, seemingly unwilling to waste more words with him.
The palm strike brought with it a howling airflow, its ferocious power cleaving down from the sky. A strike from a Seventh-Level Martial Master was definitely strong.
"You dare to be arrogant as a Seventh-Level Martial Master?" Li Lin snorted coldly. As he spoke, a bright yellow light suddenly enveloped his body.
"Bang!"
The Seventh-Level Martial Master's palm strike landed directly on Li Lin's chest, feeling as if it had hit a piece of refined steel, causing his arm to go numb instantly.
"Die." At that moment, Li Lin coldly shouted again, his true qi vibrated fiercely, and his figure turned into a blurred shadow. A finger strike swiftly pierced out, close at hand.
"Eighth-Level Martial Master." Feeling Li Lin's aura, the Seventh-Level Martial Master was shocked.
"Whoosh..."
In that split second, before the man could retreat, the scorching finger strike had already penetrated his brow, leaving him no time to resist.
"Bang!" In what was barely the blink of an eye, seeing the leading Seventh-Level Martial Master fall to the ground, the surrounding mercenaries were instantly dumbstruck.
"Sss sss..."
A yellow light flashed like lightning, and Little dragon's massive body, over two hundred meters in size, twisted violently. A Third-Level Martial Master was directly swallowed by Little dragon.
"Run." The remaining six fled in terror, not daring to stay any longer. They had thought they would easily rob a lone mercenary, but unexpectedly they had encountered a deadly fiend.
"Too late to run." Li Lin's feet flashed, and his figure leaped out like a ghost, with finger strikes bursting forth like lightning. The fierce heat of his attacks created a faint arc of light in the air, the sharp sound of breaking wind whistling incessantly.
"Aah..."
At this moment, with Li Lin's Eighth-Level Martial Master strength, employing the Fire Shadow Finger, he could easily slaughter these Fifth and Fourth-Level Martial Masters.
Little dragon's massive body roared as it twisted, swallowing two more Martial Masters. Against these Martial Masters' attacks, Little dragon seemed to be able to ignore them directly, his powerful body fearing nothing.
