"It's a Shadow Leopard!" Zong Ling was shocked. His combat experience prompted him to retreat rapidly. Shou shou shou! Thanks to the power of his tail, he was able to escape to the top of a remote tree with just three breathtaking jumps.

But the Shadow Leopard’s murky pupils merely glanced at Zong Ling coldly before continuing to gaze at Xue Ying.

It didn’t care about the silver-haired serpent man. The leopard was a level five magic beast famous for its speed; it could kill a Heaven ranked knight with just one attack! Besides, the leopard’s body was so strong that there was no way a Heaven ranked knight could injure it, so it ignored Zong Ling and focused on Xue Ying.

This young man in black… was a big threat!

He was able to counter the sneak attack.

"Uncle Zong, you should leave. Run as far as you can." Xue Ying said in a low voice.

"Xue Ying, be careful. Shadow leopards are fast." Zong Ling knew he couldn’t help so he retreated.

Xue Ying observed the shadow leopard closely and smiled. "I never imagined I would encounter a level 5 magic beast." He released the straps that ran around his chest and the weapon box fell onto the ground. It had been completely trashed by the leopard’s attack. Xue Ying’s coat wasn’t that much better. Fortunately, Xue Ying hadn’t been severely wounded due to his inner armor.

He, he~~ The shadow leopard panted lightly as it circled Xue Ying. Its steps were incredibly light, the pads on its’ feet muffling the sound of its footsteps.

Xue Ying’s eyes followed the leopard.

One man, one magic beast.

They looked into each other’s eyes!

It was life or death in an instant!

Shua shua! The Shadow Leopard suddenly burst into action, feinting to one side before instantly charging toward Xue Ying the moment it's paws touched the ground.

"Die for me!" The spear was like a snake in Xue Ying’s hand, shifting in front of the leopard within a moment.

The leopard kept its eyes on Xue Ying.

It rushed forth again, Its four paws practically hovering about the ground as it moved forward softly with lightning speed. It kept changing its directions, from one direction to another in order to evade the sharp point of Xue Ying’s spear.

Again and again, it would pounce towards Xue Ying, then suddenly change directions.

Xue Ying focused his entire strength on defending.

Shua shua shua… The Shadow Leopard became a phantom demon as it continuously circled around Xue Ying.

In response, the point of Xue Ying’s Flying Snow God Spear turned into countless phantom images and created an illusion of numerous drifting snowflakes.

"Too fast, simply too fast."

"Not enough, this still isn’t enough!" Xue Ying was aware of how slow he was. Although his Profound Ice Spear Technique was skilled enough to become famous, compared to the Shadow Leopard, the gap between them was abundantly clear! The Shadow Leopard circled around Xue Ying as if it was in its own domain. Again and again, it would look for an opportunity. This kind of phantom movement wasn’t even the limit for the Shadow Leopard! It was simply a basic movement for it.

Within the Shadow Leopard’s tranquil eyes, everything was in its control.

Hong!

The atmosphere began to twist as the Shadow Leopard suddenly accelerated and abruptly began attacking Xue Ying.

"This is the moment!" Xue Ying’s said as his eyes turned red. A red aura began emitting from his body. It was at this moment that Xue Ying released the full power of his primordial bloodline.

Power burst!

Hong! The point of the spear spun and teared apart the atmosphere as it thrust towards the Shadow Leopard that was streaking across the sky.

The Shadow Leopard felt alarmed.

The speed of this spear completely surpassed its expectations! If it had been prepared for this spear beforehand, it would have been able to effortlessly dodge it, but it had used all of its strength and was already in front of Xue Ying now! Their distance was too close and its speed too high. It was impossible for it to dodge.

Hou~~~ It issued out a cruel roar and swiped at the spear with its front pair of claws.

The rotating spear moved as if it was a large wandering snake!

This swipe made the spinning spear lose most of its impact, but it still thrusted towards the Shadow Leopard’s abdomen.

The Shadow Leopard twisted its body like as if it didn’t have any bones at all in a bid to avoid this terrifying spear.

Si!

The spear streaked across the Shadow Leopard’s soft white abdomen. A trace of blood appeared.

Borrowing the force of the spear, the Shadow Leopard leapt towards an elevated tree branch opposite of Xue Ying. On its abdomen was a two-foot-long cut. This cut, however, had already been forced closed, blood dripping slightly. Its dull gray eyes flashed with a cruel madness as it glared at the Xue Ying below.

"In spite of all that, I still haven’t killed you. You sure are lucky." Xue Ying said as he attentively watched the Shadow Leopard. He wasn’t resigned in his heart yet. When he had burst out his strength, it had the best effect when the opponent didn’t expect it. Yet now that this Shadow Leopard was on guard against him, it would be even more troublesome for him.

Sou sou sou.

The Shadow Leopard was also furious. Suddenly, it dashed down the tree with three steps before attacking Xue Ying.

Xiu.

The blood red aura on Xue Ying’s body soared as he gripped his spear tightly and thrusted at the Shadow Leopard, which dodged to the side in response.

"Get lost!" The spear thrust into nothing but air. Xue Ying immediately changed his thrust into a sweep!

The might of this spear’s sweep could cause the heaven to fall and rend the earth. The Shadow Leopard displayed frightened expression. If this sweep connected with the Shadow Leopard, it would result in Xue Ying’s victory! Even if it didn’t kill the Shadow Leopard, the sweep would still gravely injure it! How could it have known that Xue Ying had awoken the primordial bloodline of Power. As the spear swept across, all of its power passed through the shaft. Only with this would Xue Ying be able to display his advantage.

The Shadow Leopard’s body undulated as if it was water. Its claws lightly held onto the spear and used the force of the spear to minimize the damage inflicted on it.

Hong~~~ Following the sweep of the spear, a tree that had been struck on the side began rumbling before splitting apart in a big explosion! The entire tree had been cut off! With that explosion, the tree began to collapse.

"Die for me."

Xue Ying rushed forth, thrusting, slashing and sweeping with his spear.

A continuous torrent of attacks enveloped the Shadow Leopard. In response, it unceasingly evaded as it retreated. It seemed that the surrounding mountain forest was out of luck. Xue Ying’s spear was able to shatter and completely penetrate a boulder that needed two or three people to wrap around it! How could these trees possibly bear this destruction?

The whole time, they were fighting close quarters.

Xue Ying had long since discovered that Uncle Zong was hiding far away. This let him secretly heave a sigh of relief, but he still felt very anxious within his heart.

This was because under the influence of his power burst, he would only able to hold some advantages with his frantic assault.

The Shadow Leopard, on the other hand, was able to immediately catch up whenever he retreated. Thus, it was basically impossible for him to escape. The Shadow Leopard was simply too fast! If the Shadow Leopard wished to stalk them afterwards, Xue Ying wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.

"What should I do? I’m continuously losing strength and can’t hold on much longer." After using his special power, Xue Ying felt that his energy was draining drastically.

Once he used up his energy, he would die!

He he~~~

The Shadow Leopard was an experienced hunter, constantly looking for the opportunity to strike.

Finally——

Xue Ying’s fierce consumption of his physical strength had finally opened up a gap in his attacks. The Shadow Leopard moved like lightning and appeared right in front of Xue Ying.

"Not good!" Xue Ying heart shuddered and his scalp felt numb.

He was suddenly faced with a crisis of death!

"Just die for me already! Die! Die! Die!" Xue Ying went crazy and his eyes reddened. Either you or I will die. He struck out his spear with all his might.

This was his last struggle!

He struggled just like a wild beast would when facing death. Although Xue Ying was facing a death crisis, this was also an opportunity to cultivate his instinct to survive.

His entire body surged with energy. Time seemed to slow down as the Shadow Leopard vicious teeth could be seen clearly.

Hu…

The breeze generated from the fight felt refreshing against his face.

Hua~Hua~Hua~ The circulation of his blood could be felt as clearly as if it was a surging river.

Si si si~~~ His muscles and bones were also transmitting their power to him.

"Power, perfect and pure."

When Xue Ying faced the threatening death crisis, he instinctively broke through the lack of comprehension of his power. His blood flowed, his bones and muscle connected together and transmitted power… He could clearly feel everything. It was so beautiful. At that moment, he felt as if all of his power was within his control. His control over his power was incomparably delicate and didn’t waste any of it. He even had a surplus of energy.

Hu!

His whole body’s strength was transmitting like water. He had never had such wonderful control over his own body before.

His whirling spear pierced through the vast sky as its speed suddenly increased sharply!

Pu ji!

In a flash, the point of the spear withdrew from the stupefied Shadow Leopard’s abdomen and was thrust into the back of the Shadow Leopard.

While holding onto the spear, Xue Ying saw that the impaled Shadow Leopard was still twisting and struggling to break free. Its blood flowed unceasingly. Xue Ying stared at the Shadow Leopard, and the Shadow Leopard stared back. Within the dull gray eyes of the Shadow Leopard, however, there was panic, fear, anger and anxiety. Its powerful life force allowed it to struggle for nearly half a minute. It was only when the last of its blood flowed onto the ground that it finally succumbed to death.

Once Xue Ying body relaxed his body, he lay on the ground covered in ice-cold snow. The Shadow Leopard continued to glare as the spear protruded from its body beside Xue Ying.

"It’s your death, and my survival!" As Xue Ying looked at the corpse of the Shadow Leopard, he rejoiced. After this calamity, he had a renewed life.
