"How can a wooden weapon withstand my attacks?" Qin Yan felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
The leopard person kicked off the ground and suddenly appeared in front of Qin Yan, thrusting the spear. Despite Qin Yan's efforts to dodge, he was still pierced in the left arm. He quickly swung the trident spear to force the leopard person back, feeling a sharp pain in his left arm. Looking down, he saw a half-centimeter deep, ten-centimeter long wound on his left arm, blood flowing uncontrollably from the injury.
"Why can a wooden spear be so sharp, causing me such a serious injury?" Qin Yan was perplexed. He had strengthened his body with body refining abilities just now, so even if he was pierced by a metal weapon, the injury shouldn't have been too severe. But being pierced by a wooden spear had unexpectedly caused this level of damage, which was beyond his expectations.
The leopard person swiftly moved around Qin Yan, continuously launching attacks with the spear. Its speed was astonishing, and its movements were extremely agile. Qin Yan couldn't keep up with its speed, and the silver energy blades emitted by the trident spear were directly blocked by the leopard person's spear. In the battle, Qin Yan was completely at a disadvantage, constantly being pierced by the leopard person's spear and sustaining one wound after another. His body refining defense seemed to be ineffective against the red spear, which could easily cut into him, causing significant damage.
Suddenly, a whistling wind filled the air, creating a tornado around the leopard person, binding its hands and feet like ropes, making it difficult for it to move.
"Good, this is our chance." Qin Yan knew that Lin Shiqi was assisting him. He immediately leaped towards the leopard person and slashed at it, cutting a long wound on the leopard person's chest.
"I'll help you trap it. Seize the opportunity to defeat it!" Lin Shiqi shouted loudly, using all her power to summon a tornado towards the leopard person. Although the leopard person was fast, its strength was not very strong. It struggled to move within the tornado, trying to evade it, but wherever it went, the tornado followed, tightly wrapping around it. Seizing the opportunity, Qin Yan continuously slashed at the leopard person with the trident spear, causing the leopard person to be covered in blood from the wounds.
"Damn it—" The leopard person, enraged from the continuous injuries, raised the red spear in its hand and swiftly wielded it. The red-glowing spear spun like a helicopter rotor, coming into contact with the tornado surrounding the leopard person. The wind suddenly weakened and eventually disappeared.
"What's going on? How could the tornado I summoned be dispersed by that weapon?" Lin Shiqi said in confusion. With the tornado no longer obstructing it, the leopard person regained its freedom of movement and launched another attack on Qin Yan with astonishing speed, putting Qin Yan in a very passive position once again.

"Shiqi, quickly use wind magic to block it!" Qin Yan shouted anxiously. Lin Shiqi agreed and summoned a fierce wind towards the leopard person. The leopard person spun the red spear emitting a dim red light into a circle, resembling a rotating fan, to block the fierce wind summoned by Lin Shiqi. When the fierce wind came into contact with the spinning red spear, the airflow quickly stopped flowing, dissipating in an instant.
"What's going on? How can that red spear block the storm I summoned?!" Lin Shiqi became increasingly puzzled. She continued to use her magical abilities to summon a fierce wind towards the leopard person, but no matter how much she strengthened the storm, it would always be blocked by the leopard person's red spear. The spear seemed like an indestructible barrier, completely stopping the storm she summoned and rendering her magic abilities ineffective.
As the leopard person used the red spear to resist the storm, it continued to launch relentless attacks on Qin Yan. Under the leopard person's astonishingly fast attacks, Qin Yan felt it difficult to hold on. Suddenly, a red glow flashed by his side, and he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Looking down, he saw a red-glowing spear deeply piercing into his lower abdomen, piercing through his body.
"This... this can't be possible?!" Qin Yan looked incredulous as he fell to the ground with a thud.
"Haha, the King is so powerful!" "Now we have a human to feast on!" The two heads of the dual-headed monster cheered, jumping around in delight.
"Qin Yan!" Lin Shiqi shouted in panic, running towards Qin Yan, wanting to rescue him. But at that moment, someone reached out from behind and grabbed her.
"Get out of the way, going over there will only lead to your death!" With this voice, a figure swiftly ran towards the fallen Qin Yan.
The leopard person stared with a sinister smile at the fallen Qin Yan, suddenly pulling out the spear from Qin Yan's abdomen. It raised the spear, aiming the tip at Qin Yan's head, preparing to deliver the final blow.
Just then, a person dashed out and pounced on the leopard person. The leopard person's attention was focused on Qin Yan, not expecting someone to suddenly rush at it and be embraced by this person.
"Get up quickly, you won't be easily defeated, right?!" Yujie held onto the leopard person from behind, shouting sternly at the fallen Qin Yan. Her legs were wrapped around the leopard person's waist, her hands passing through its armpits, tightly locking its arms and preventing it from wielding the spear to attack Qin Yan.
"You annoying woman, daring to ruin my good fortune." The leopard person roared angrily, kicking its legs forcefully, carrying Yujie as they sprinted wildly through the streets, trying to shake her off.
"Hmph, you think you can get rid of me, a slender little kitty like you?" Yujie's face carried a mocking smile as she used all her strength to cling onto the leopard person. Despite the leopard person's fast speed, its strength was not that great. Yujie was also very skilled in using grappling techniques to control enemies. No matter how wildly the leopard person ran through the streets, it couldn't shake Yujie off.
"Qin Yan, are you okay?!" Lin Shiqi rushed to Qin Yan's side, looking at him with great concern.
"I'm... I'm fine. I didn't expect her to save my life." Qin Yan endured the intense pain in his abdomen as he got up from the ground, looking at Yujie entangled with the leopard person in the distance. He used his body refining abilities to repair the injuries in his abdomen with all his strength.
