Chapter Fifty-Two: Fear Afterward

  All the masters on the third floor were staring blankly at the gradually disappearing Fire Cloud Lion corpse, and the terrifying power that Zhang Song had just unleashed was truly shocking to all the masters. The aura of the Sevenfold Void Elixir was absolutely unmistakable.

  "Embracing Dan Method, this is the Zhang Song family's Embracing Dan Method. It can gather all the blood in the body and forcibly condense it together, briefly bursting out a terrifying power. However, the consequences of doing so are very serious. At least for one day, Zhang Song will not be able to use his powers again. He can only enter the fourth layer."

  Xie Xuan's face looked somewhat unpleasant, and he said in a low voice.

  Yang Yi's heart skipped a beat, this Embracing Dan method was simply too terrifying. However, Yang Yi then remembered Zhang Song's secret technique, which could instantly release the powerful energy of eight drops of essence blood, but would recover in an instant.

  Xie Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Zhang Song was able to continuously burst out eight drops of essence blood just now, but that was only because he temporarily merged the essence blood in his heart. This also requires a secret method, ordinary cultivators absolutely cannot try it, otherwise the essence blood will lose control and explode their heart into powder. Merging essence blood for a short time only requires resting for a while to recover, but this time Zhang Song actually merged all the blood in his body temporarily, using the Embracing Dan method, which is a secret method to impact the Seventh Layer of Congealed Blood. So now Zhang Song has no strength left, but he's also thinking very clearly and entered the fourth layer, I believe he'll definitely be able to enter the top ten. Those who can charge into the fourth layer are probably extremely rare."

  Yang Yi nodded after hearing this. Until now, only five or six people have managed to break into the fourth level.

  Xie Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Yang brother, Zhang Song and Bai Yi are good friends. You killed Bai Yi, so Zhang Song will definitely not let it go easily. However, this is nothing to worry about. If you can also make it to the fourth layer, then Zhang Song won't dare to do anything to you either."

  Xie Xuanfeng's words moved Yang Yi, he naturally knew that in this ranking competition, the top 100 could get the powerful cultivation of Huolong Palace, and if they entered the top ten, even within Huolong Palace, they would be considered geniuses, enjoying more resources and being key cultivated by Huolong Palace.

  Yang Yi smiled slightly and glanced at the majestic Fire Cloud Lion, saying calmly: "Don't worry, Brother Xie, this beast is nothing to me."

  Yang Yi immediately walked towards Huoyun Lion.

  A gigantic Fire Cloud Lion gazed vigilantly at Yang Yi, its entire body's fur resembling flames, and a fierce aura pounced forth, making one's heart tremble with fear.

  Yang Yi currently only condensed six drops of essence blood, and the power of this Fire Cloud Lion's seven drops of essence blood peak seems to be far apart. However, absolute strength is not just about cultivating power, but also martial skills and techniques that can defeat enemies.

  "A fleeting glimpse!"

  Yang Yi's figure transformed into a ray of light, like a whirlwind, constantly rotating around Huoyun Lion.

  However, this Fire Cloud Lion was extremely cunning and wouldn't launch a preemptive attack if it couldn't see Yang Yi's figure clearly. It stuck tightly to the entrance of the fourth floor, not giving Yang Yi any opportunity to find an opening.

  Whoosh

  Yang Yi stopped in his tracks, his eyebrows slightly raised, and this Fire Cloud Lion had actually already developed a spiritual nature.

  It's worth noting that although the heteromorphic beasts are powerful, they're just savage beasts that drink blood and have no special features. Only when these beasts continuously cultivate and transform into demons through their bloodline do they become truly terrifying existences. A single demon can already transform into a human form, making them almost indistinguishable from humans.

  Of course, from a demon beast to a monster is even more difficult than for a cultivator to cultivate from the Blood Condensation stage to the Transformation stage. The most important thing is spirituality; ten thousand demon beasts may not necessarily produce one with spirituality.

  The exotic beasts that emerge from the Four-Sided Mirror actually all have prototypes, and only when an exotic beast is killed by the Four-Sided Mirror will it be fully materialized. This Fire Cloud Lion has a spiritual nature, and if it's not killed by the Four-Sided Mirror, it might even have the possibility of cultivating into a demon.

  "Binding Spell!"

  Yang Yi knew that the fleeting light couldn't stop this fire cloud lion, so he instantly shed ten drops of fresh blood on his hand, which burned in mid-air and instantly transformed into a binding force.

  The binding force had just been generated, and the fire cloud lion suddenly let out a shocking roar, its massive body bursting forth with terrifying power, instantly shattering the binding force into dust.

  "Huh? Doesn't work?"

  Yang Yi furrowed his brow, if this Fire Cloud Lion didn't come out, then he would have no way to deal with it.

  Yang Yi thought for a moment, and then took out the Moonfall Bow from his ring.

  Bending the bow and setting the arrow in place, drawing the string back like a full moon, nine arrows are fired simultaneously.

  "Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

  A sharp whistling sound, a terrifying force, the long arrow shot towards Huoyun Lion instantly, and Yang Yi was still one arrow with nine shots, the real Nine-son Continuous Ring, no matter how Huoyun Lion tried to avoid it.

  "Hmm, I see you're still not coming out?"

  This was Yang Yi's plan, using Moonfall Bow to lure out the Fire Cloud Lion. As long as it came out, Yang Yi would have a way.

  Bang

  As expected, the long arrow shot into the body of Huoyun Lion in an instant. However, the terrifying body of Huoyun Lion, with six drops of essence blood at its peak, only allowed the long arrow to penetrate the surface of its body, without causing any substantial harm to it.

  But this is enough already.

  Roar

  The Fire Cloud Lion let out a thunderous roar, its enormous body suddenly leaping out, its eyes filled with fierce and savage light.

  Yang's heart was filled with joy, and in an instant, twenty more drops of fresh blood appeared on his hands, and his body suddenly transformed into four illusory shadows.

  "Binding Spell, Nine Palace Illusion, Floating Light Flash, Die!"

  Yang's four phantoms were like a dream, elusive and unpredictable, making it impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion. Moreover, they possessed an eerie speed that was as fleeting as a ghostly shadow. The binding force unleashed by the twenty drops of fresh blood was twice as powerful as before, enough to restrain Huoyun Lion for a brief moment.

  Bang

  In a split second, Yang Yi's green palm print heavily imprinted on the Fire Cloud Lion's body. At the same time, the Fire Cloud Lion also broke free from its restraints, lifted its sharp claws and slapped them heavily onto Yang Yi's body.

  Bang

  Those sharp claws instantly tore through Yang's long shirt, revealing the shimmering emerald armor inside.

  Even the sharpest Huoyun Lion's Claw couldn't cut through this mediocre treasure, Biyun Jia. Not even a single mark was left on its surface, showing just how terrifying Biyun Jia is.

  Yang's hand was covered with a deadly poison, and Huoyun Lion couldn't withstand it either. It let out a sorrowful roar for a moment before its body completely disintegrated, killing the Huoyun Lion.

  Yang Yi's face did not show joy, and in his heart he still had a lingering fear. He hadn't expected Huo Yunshi's strength to be so powerful, and under such terrifying circumstances, it was able to break free from its restraints. One of its claws slashed at Yang Yi's body. If not for the Bixia armor, Yang Yi would probably have been cut in half by the sharp claw and died instantly.

  "Call"

  Yang tidied up slightly and took a look at the gradually disappearing corpse of Huoyun Lion, then stepped into the fourth floor in an instant.

  It's Monday again, and La Yue urgently needs your ticket support~~~
