"Xuan Lao, what exactly is this Flying Spirit Lion? If you know anything, please tell me in detail!" Ye Feng cautiously faced his enemy while calling out to Xuan Lao in his mind. After all, knowing oneself and the enemy leads to victory in every battle.
Moreover, since Xuan Lao described this lion as extraordinary, he must know its weaknesses!
However, this time Xuan Lao directly replied, "I can clearly tell you that the Flying Spirit Lion does not belong to the category of demon beasts; it is a spirit beast. I won't elaborate on the differences between spirit beasts and demon beasts, but if you think you can subdue it using the same methods you used against those previous creatures, that is simply impossible!"
Ye Feng smiled wryly; wasn't that stating the obvious? He could already sense the uniqueness of this awakened lion from their brief encounter, as he had been forced back to the entrance after just a few exchanges!
Inside, the group of panicked demon beasts seemed to regain their bloodlust and ferocity, as if they had found courage due to the lion's awakening!
A few Azure Bull Beasts saw Ye Feng being pushed back and excitedly roared as they charged at him again!
Two rows of terrifying teeth were about to bite into Ye Feng's shoulder! Suddenly, Ye Feng's figure shifted mid-air as he executed the Wind Step technique at high speed, dodging these annoying attacks while wielding the Shattering Immortal Spear, drawing several powerful arcs in the air!
Thunder Light reappeared! In an instant, it slaughtered several reckless Azure Bull Beasts, causing the remaining demon beasts to hesitate in their actions! But Ye Feng's heart sank because the awakened lion did not pursue him; it seemed intent on engaging him in a battle of attrition!
This feeling of being pressured was quite unpleasant. Ye Feng couldn't help but say in his mind to Xuan Lao, "Xuan Lao, can't you just tell me plainly how to deal with this guy?"
Xuan Lao remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "From its appearance, it seems to have been trapped in that statue for too long. For now, its consciousness is not fully awakened; otherwise, it would have chased after you!"
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I can see that too. I just want to know how to defeat this guy!" Being able to predict any of his attacks meant that even with the mighty Shattering Immortal Spear, he wouldn't be able to hit it! Such talent bestowed upon this lion was truly...
"Don't rush; you still have time to maneuver with it. Perhaps you can find another way out within that cave and confront it directly later. I don't have high hopes for that!" Xuan Lao said again!
Ye Feng fell silent. Listening to Xuan Lao made it seem like he had no chance at all? This was disheartening; after all, he was a Late Stage Martial Artist of the Gale Martial Realm. In the Eastern Region, he could be considered a minor expert. With an Ancient Divine Artifact in hand, how could he not defeat a Sky Lion that had survived since ancient times?
Xuan Lao seemed to understand his thoughts and said, "Ignorance breeds fearlessness; it's understandable for you to think that way. The Flying Spirit Lion has a naturally gentle temperament, but some can become their masters. Once a master-servant relationship is established, the Sky Lion will protect its master at all costs!"
"Right now, I suspect this Sky Lion has been asleep for countless years and is likely guarding the spear you hold. If you want to leave openly from outside, you'll have no choice but to leave behind the Shattering Immortal Spear!"
"Don't joke around; let's think of another way!" What a joke! Ye Feng would absolutely not give up on the Divine Weapon he had just acquired!
Xuan Lao certainly understood his thoughts and sighed, "Well, Old Man does not wish for you to keep the Shattering Immortal Spear. Rather than letting this Divine Weapon remain buried underground, at least let you take it out so it can shine. Now, listen carefully!"
"Where the Flying Spirit Lion comes from, no one knows. Even Old Man does not know everything about it, but what Old Man does know is that it is born with the ability of a guardian, capable of keenly observing all dangers. At the same time, its own defensive and offensive capabilities are quite formidable!"
"It sounds like it has no weaknesses at all, almost a perfect creation of nature. However, its greatest weakness is overthinking, which makes it somewhat indecisive. This might also explain why it did not awaken right away!"
Ye Feng listened and seemed to understand something. So this Sky Lion intentionally let him in; as long as he did not recklessly move anything, it would not block him. It seemed that this creature was indeed quite similar to a person! However, it was a rather lazy fellow!
Despite this realization, he still did not dare to be careless. Watching the Sky Lion pacing back and forth outside without any intention of coming in made him increasingly anxious!
"To speak frankly, Xuan Lao, the weakness you mentioned hardly counts as a weakness. If it insists on staying outside, how can I leave if I cannot kill or even touch it?"
Xuan Lao responded with a strange smile, "That depends on who is smarter between you two! If your brain is more useful than its instincts, then you will surely find its flaw!"
Ye Feng fell silent again. This statement was somewhat infuriating; he did not want to admit that his mind was less sharp than that of a beast, even if this beast was an ancient spirit creature. Based on human nature, he could not accept being toyed with by such a spirit beast!
"I refuse to believe it! If I use all my abilities, I will find a way to deal with it!" Ye Feng suddenly hardened his gaze and resolutely looked at the lazy awakened lion!
He then took out the Soul Guiding Banner from his pocket!
"Are you planning to summon that Underworld General?" Xuan Lao asked with some concern!
Ye Feng nodded and said, "I have to give it a try!"
"Alright, but Old Man does not support you truly using all your strength to kill this spirit beast; perhaps it could be of greater use..." Xuan Lao sighed suddenly!
Ye Feng was taken aback and did not immediately understand. However, in this urgent moment, he could not think too much about it. He recited a few incantations, and the Soul Guiding Banner fluttered in the wind, emitting a flicker of Eerie Light. Then, an armored faceless Underworld General, wielding a blade, descended once more!
"Kill that foolish lion from the Outer Sect! If you can't do that, at least restrain it until I escape!" Ye Feng quickly issued the command!
The Underworld General absolutely obeyed the consciousness of its summoner. Upon receiving such an order, it immediately raised its underworld blade and strode out with an air of a warrior heading for battle!
Ye Feng watched the back of the Underworld General, feeling a deep sense of anxiety for him. Although the Underworld General could handle the Ghostly Grief, it was a matter of one thing overcoming another. When faced with the so-called Flying Spirit Lion, it was hard to say who would win.
Soon, the Armored Specter arrived at the entrance. The Lion merely glanced lazily at it, showing no intention of attacking. However, the Underworld General did see it and swung his death knife with fierce intent!
With a loud "whoosh," it was like a large blade cutting through the air, but the result was no different from Ye Feng's experience; the Flying Spirit Lion lightly dodged this strike. The Underworld General failed to land a hit and quickly unleashed a series of slashes that formed a wave of blades as a barrier!
The blade wave carried a chilling aura! It surged towards the Flying Spirit Lion in an attack without blind spots, igniting hope in Ye Feng. Even the Ghostly Grief had to hide when faced with the Armored Specter's strange strikes! How then could the Flying Spirit Lion defend itself?
The outcome soon became clear; the Flying Spirit Lion emitted a halo that surrounded its body. This halo not only defended against all of the Underworld General's attacks but also rebounded them! Affected by several of his own blade waves, even the Underworld General, known for its formidable five-element defense, was forced back!
"Woo woo woo!" This time, the Underworld General finally let out a wail similar to that of an angry Ghostly Grief! Its speed increased again, and in a flash, it transformed into several afterimages! Ye Feng was dazzled; he never expected that the Underworld General had such a move!
Perhaps the Flying Spirit Lion was indeed too difficult to deal with; it hadn't even used its ultimate technique against Ghostly Grief and yet easily released its power now!
The Underworld General, now in multiple afterimages, struck swiftly again. This time, it unleashed even more and sharper blades from various angles towards the Flying Spirit Lion, attempting to forcibly shatter its defenses!
The eerie and sinister power was truly terrifying. The blade waves touched that seemingly ordinary halo but only left shallow marks! Ultimately, they failed to harm the Flying Spirit Lion in any way!
It seemed that the Flying Spirit Lion was finally provoked by the Underworld General's taunts! It raised its head and began to howl!
"Roar!" This howl resonated deeply, not only deafening but causing the very earth to tremble as if the entire Underground Palace echoed with this powerful roar! A terrifying sound wave spread out!
Ye Feng instinctively covered his ears tightly, his face turning even paler as he felt a dull pain in his chest as if he had sustained internal injuries!
As for the Underworld General, it bravely resisted the Sky Lion's mighty howl! However, its attacking movements had completely halted; it could only protect itself from fatal damage! It looked extremely disheveled!
Just when it was unable to protect itself, Ye Feng wanted to summon it back into his banner. Unfortunately, the Flying Spirit Lion did not give Ye Feng this opportunity; after howling, it lunged forward!
Unbeknownst to what kind of attribute its fangs possessed, they tore through the Underworld General, which was immune to physical attacks... In an instant, this Underworld General summoned by Ye Feng through cultivation methods and witchcraft banners completely vanished!
"This is just too monstrous!" Ye Feng stared in shock, feeling an immense fear in his heart. If he had been bitten by that lunge just now, his fate would likely have been no better than that of the Underworld General. It seemed that throughout this encounter, the Flying Spirit Lion had never truly intended to engage him in battle!
At this moment, Old Xuan calmly spoke again, "You are not wrong in your thoughts. If it were to go all out against you, even if you used all your strength, it would be a miracle if you could escape with your life!"
"Do we really have to leave the Weilian Shattered Immortal Spear behind?" Ye Feng murmured unwillingly. He had already realized the power of the Shattering Immortal Spear and was reluctant to let it go! However, the situation before him seemed to leave no room for hesitation! If he wanted to survive, he would have to give up something!
Old Xuan, however, said somewhat cryptically, "That may not be the case. In my view, this might actually be an opportunity for you!"
"Opportunity?" Ye Feng was even more confused!
Old Xuan continued, "Haven't you noticed? The reason that the Flying Spirit Lion hasn't gone all out against you is actually due to another reason!"
"Oh? What reason?" Ye Feng suddenly became interested. With such a twist in events, Old Xuan should have mentioned this earlier!
"If I am not mistaken, it hasn't fully engaged you because of the spear in your hand. Think about it: it exists to protect the spear. Now that the spear has recognized you as its master, how can it not consider whether it should kill you or let you be?"
"I see!" Ye Feng finally understood. So there was such a subplot; this gave him renewed hope!
Old Xuan then added, "But don't celebrate too early. If its conclusion differs from what you think, then even if you let go of the Shattering Immortal Spear, you may still meet your end!"
