Chapter 29: Slaying the Nucleus Stage Beast

  "A loud roar!" A heaven-shaking howl.

  The sound spread throughout the forest, and birds and beasts scattered in all directions, as if they were very afraid of the owner of the call. The one who made this sound was a black panther over 1.5 meters tall, comparable to a human-built foundation.

  At this time, the black leopard was in a not-so-small clearing in the woods, although there were no injuries on its body, but there was some fear in its eyes, and under its feet, there was a layer of yellowish light that slowly surrounded the leopard and rotated.

  Every time the black leopard wanted to rush out, the yellow light ring would flash and form a mud wall to block it. No matter how hard the leopard tried, it could never rush out of the light ring.

  But with each impact of the cheetah, the light halo's radiance also dimmed a little, as if its power had decreased somewhat. As a result, the cheetah's impacts became even more frantic.

  Around the cheetah, there were more than a dozen young figures, both male and female, who had quietly surrounded it. Among them was a handsome young man in elegant attire, who was making a gesture with his hands, pointing at the direction of the cheetah from afar.

  "Everyone, hurry up! This evil creature's power is too great, it may break through my earth wall array in a moment!" The young man in the magnificent clothes shouted to the people beside him, and then carefully controlled that yellowish light circle.

  Everyone heard this and without saying another word, each of them took out their treasures and launched a fierce attack on the black leopard.

  With a buzz, a crimson blade flashed out and slashed towards the leopard's skull, but the leopard merely shook its body and repelled it with a single swipe.

  Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

  The next moment, seven or eight law instruments transformed into several rays of light, rolling up the sound of breaking through the air, and slashed towards the black leopard from all sides.

  Seeing this, the black leopard was first startled, and then a black gas spurted out from its nose. In an instant, a black cloud of about ten feet in size enveloped the leopard all around. No matter what magical instrument entered the black cloud, it disappeared without a trace, just like a rhinoceros entering the sea, nor was any aura emitted.

  "Not good, Lu Yun Shixiong, I can no longer sense my magic tool!" At this time, a slender girl wearing a light yellow dress spoke with some anxiety, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her long eyelashes fluttering rapidly, unable to conceal the extremely lively eyes that seemed mischievous and lovable.

  "No good, I can no longer sense my magic tool!"

  "Me too, Lu Yun! Think of a solution quickly!" Urgent voices rang out. Everyone was shouting the name "Lu Yun", seemingly the leader among them, with extremely high prestige.

  But upon hearing the girl's words, the handsome young man in fine clothes furrowed his brow. Immediately, he changed the spell in his hand and pointed at the yellowish light circle with one hand, while slapping the storage bag on his waist with the other hand.

  A "whoosh" sound.

  Three mysterious talismans appeared in his hand, and as the young man threw them into the air, they transformed into three blazing fireballs, one of which flashed towards the black fog and struck it with a loud crash.

  Hehe.

  A sound like the evaporation of water vapor came out, and the black fog around the cheetah quickly dissipated, as if it was very afraid of this fierce flame. In a short while, only three explosive sounds were heard.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  A shrill cry of despair echoed out, and immediately afterwards, a fierce flame burst forth from among the crowd, rolling around the black panther. No matter how much dark energy appeared around it, it was all incinerated by the flames into nothingness.

  It seems that it can't withstand the raging flames, and a hint of despair appears in the eyes of the black panther. At this moment, the dark energy is gone, and the various treasures around have reappeared.

  "Get moving!" shouted a young man in Chinese attire named Lu Yun.

  Hiss, hiss, hiss. Various treasures immediately trembled slightly and transformed into a series of light halos, slashing towards the black leopard trapped in the yellow light circle. With no dark energy to protect it, the black leopard seemed unable to withstand the attack of over ten magical artifacts.

  Puff puff puff! A piece of legal equipment stood on top of the cheetah's body.

  A loud, mournful cry echoed through the sky, filled with a strong sense of unwillingness, but soon fell silent.

  A loud thud.

  The black leopard fell heavily to the ground, its eyes wide open and its body emitting a slightly charred smell, looking like a hedgehog with various magical tools stuck all over it.

  "Haha, succeeded this time thanks to Lu Yun Shixiong!" A short and chubby young boy clapped his hands and exclaimed.

  "That's right, with Lu Yun here, even if it's a demonic beast in the Aggregation Period, we can still kill it. What's there to be afraid of at Qian Duan Cliff?" A young man with a scar on his face nodded and said.

  Others also praised him, and the young man in Chinese clothes, Lu Yun, seemed to be very pleased when he heard this. His face was filled with a strong sense of pride, and he indeed had an aura of being superior to others.

  "Haha, don't praise me anymore, everyone. It's only with our combined efforts that we can defeat this beast. No matter how great my abilities are, I alone cannot do it." As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yun raised his hand and pointed, and the yellowish light circle paused for a moment before quickly shrinking down.

  It finally turned into a palm-sized yellowish-brown ring, which flashed and fell into Lu Yun's hand. The others also put away their magical instruments.

  "Lu Yun, you're being too modest. Remember when Yao and Jin Zhen came here back then? In the end, all three of them retreated with their tails between their legs, humiliated by a mere Nuclear Stage beast."

  And we, under the leadership of Master Luyu, easily beheaded it, simply not on the same level. Of course, mainly because Master Luyu is powerful, with high-level magic and a cautious personality, bravely fighting against the Aggregated Nucleus Period demonic beast. As soon as Master Luyu made his move... The short and chubby young man's words were cut off before he could finish speaking, as Master Luyu couldn't help but interrupt him, clearing his throat slightly.

  Cough cough

  When he saw Lu Yun interrupting his words, the short and fat boy didn't get angry at all, still shaking his head with a smile, looking very annoying.

  At this moment, the black leopard suddenly stood up and pounced towards the short and fat boy. Seeing this, the boy's face changed color, due to the close distance and lack of preparation, he stumbled backwards several steps.

  "Oh no!" A short and chubby young man suddenly fell to the ground, frantically shouting "Save me, Lu Yun! Ahhh!" while closing his eyes and wildly slashing a two-foot-long shortsword in front of him.

  A burst of silvery laughter echoed, and the girl in a yellow goose-like dress covered her mouth with one hand, her eyes full of cunning.

  "Haha, look at you, you're so scared!"

  "Just swallow your kid and be done with it." A burst of mocking laughter erupted from the crowd.

  He felt that the leopard had not attacked him, and the bursts of laughter around him made the short and stout boy open one eye to look at the situation. The leopard that was originally pouncing on him had fallen to the ground at some point, without even a breath left.

  The short and stout young man suddenly stood up with a "whoosh".

  "Hmph, you still dare to pounce on me? I'll kill you with one sword strike. Are you scared to death now? Come on, if you're not convinced, come and bite me!" The short and stout youth shouted angrily at the leopard that was lying on the ground.

  "Haha, Zhu Nan, don't pretend anymore. The cheetah was dead from the start. Just now, it was just Lixianzi controlling the cheetah with her magic to scare you." At this time, Lu Yun first looked at the woman in yellow clothes in the distance, then smiled at the short and chubby boy.

  Upon hearing this, the short and stout young man suddenly looked somewhat embarrassed, then gazed at the slender girl wearing a light yellow dress with some indignation, just about to say something.

  Just then, the woman's eyes flashed with a hint of moisture, and she looked pitifully lovely. She spoke in a slightly timid tone: "Zhu Nan, brother, I'm sorry. I just wanted to play a joke on you. I've seen that you're usually chivalrous and have strong magical powers."

  "So you won't stoop to the level of a lowly woman like me, will you, Zhu Nan? I just wanted to test you. After being tricked by someone, would you still maintain that unique demeanor of yours?"

  After finishing speaking, the girl looked at the short and chubby young man called Zhū Nán with an expectant expression, but a hint of complacency flashed in her eyes.

  "This." The stout boy was left speechless, and even the fire couldn't be lit now. After a pause, Zhu Nan burst out laughing and shook his head, saying: "Lixianzi, I, Zhu Nan, won't stoop to the level of ordinary women. Besides, it's just a joke, don't overthink it, Lixianzi. You'll get to know my character later." After finishing speaking, Zhu Nan couldn't help but puff out his chest.

  "Haha, alright, let Zhunan collect that beast's corpse." Lu Yun said with a smile.

  But in the next moment, his face turned cold and his tone changed as he said in a chilly voice: "You three have been watching for so long, shouldn't you also show up? Hmph!"

  At the same time, behind several tree trunks far away from here, there were three figures, who were Ye Fei, Wan Feng and Liu Qian.

  "What? How did he find us?" Ye Fei said in surprise, and as soon as his voice fell, three yellowish light columns suddenly burst out from the ground without warning, and with a swoosh, they shot towards the three people. (End of chapter)
