The atmosphere in the valley grew heavy, and everyone's gaze was fixed on Lin Dong and Lei Li.
"Brother Lei Li, please teach him a good lesson for me," Xie Yingying said sweetly.
"Lin Dong, be careful," Lin Xia said with some worry.
Lin Yun had no idea where he had run off to. Really, it would be great if he were here right now... Lin Xia grumbled inwardly, blaming Lin Yun.
None of them understood why Lin Yun ran so fast. Did he want to be the first to rush onto the Giant Platform? That was just a qualification; being the first or the last to arrive didn't make much difference.
Lin Dong and Lei Li stepped forward. There was already animosity between the two sides, so they didn't waste words and immediately began fighting.
"Earthly Yuan Realm!"
As soon as they engaged, facing Lei Li's powerful attacks, Lin Dong displayed his Earthly Yuan Realm strength, immediately causing exclamations from both sides.
The shock of the Lei and Xie Families went without saying.
Among the Lin Clan members, only Lin Xia had guessed that Lin Yun and Lin Dong had broken through to the Earthly Yuan Realm. The others didn't know, and now seeing Lin Dong's bravery with their own eyes was truly eye-opening.
Especially Lin Hong, who felt a surge of bitterness along with his shock.
"You actually broke through to the Earthly Yuan Realm," Lei Li's eyes widened, as if he had suffered a significant blow.
He was much older than Lin Dong and had received strong support from his family, yet he had only just managed to break through to the Earthly Yuan Realm.
Why? Why could Lin Dong catch up to him?
And Lin Yun, that guy is even stronger than Lin Dong, could it be...? In an instant, many questions flashed through Lei Li's mind.
His heart was a little chaotic.
The two sides were locked in a fierce battle, making it difficult to determine a winner for a while.
Lin Yun had left the Lin Clan earlier and gone ahead alone precisely because Lin Dong was there, allowing him to venture out with peace of mind.
He had thought that if he took the Fire Python Tiger family away by himself without being discovered by others, there would be no conflict in the jungle.
Unexpectedly, even without the Fire Python Tiger's intervention, there were still other reasons that would cause the two sides to clash ahead of time.
"Huh?!"
Lin Yun, who was observing the battle from the shadows using his mental energy, suddenly let out a surprised sound.
Lin Yun's mental energy covered nearly a thousand meters, allowing him to see the entire area around the valley. At this moment, in the forest within the valley, a silver-black leopard was approaching.
"Shadow Phantom Leopard, a demonic beast of the Earthly Yuan Realm level," Lin Yun recognized the demonic beast and frowned inwardly.
This Shadow Phantom Leopard was extremely fast, belonging to the top-speed demonic beasts in the Earthly Yuan Realm. The valley should be its lair.
At this moment, the Shadow Phantom Leopard was outside the valley, using the cover of the trees to secretly observe the two sides fighting, waiting for an opportunity. Its gaze was fixed on Xie Yingying, or more precisely, the Void Spirit Grass in Xie Yingying's hand.
Clearly, that Void Spirit Grass was a treasure it guarded. It must have just happened to leave earlier, allowing Qing Tan to take advantage of the situation.
Lin Yun couldn't help but feel a lingering fear for that girl Qing Tan. If Qing Tan had encountered this Shadow Phantom Leopard earlier, she would probably have become its meal.
"This might be an opportunity!" A thought suddenly flashed through Lin Yun's mind, and he came up with a plan.
He quickly approached the Shadow Phantom Leopard. Just before reaching it, he took out the Alchemy Furnace and summoned Tiger Heroine.
"That Shadow Phantom Leopard, let's deal with it together," Lin Yun pointed at the Shadow Phantom Leopard and discussed tactics with Tiger Heroine.
The Shadow Phantom Leopard was very fast and agile, especially in this jungle, which was its home ground.
If it was alerted in advance, it would be very difficult to kill it. Just catching up to it would probably take a lot of effort.
Lin Yun took off his gravity suit and gravity shoes. Without the 300 jin of weight, he felt his whole body lighten.
This was the first time he had fought without the weight, and he didn't know what level his speed burst would reach.
Putting on his gauntlets, he was fully armed!
[Task: Cooperate with Tiger Heroine to hunt the Shadow Phantom Leopard. Reward: One bottle of Fifth-Grade Qi Blood Pills.]
Having established the task, Lin Yun and Tiger Heroine approached from left and right.
Whoosh whoosh... One person and one tiger pounced on the Shadow Phantom Leopard.
The Fire Python Tiger was the first to get close. When the Shadow Phantom Leopard saw that fiery figure, it seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and immediately ran in the opposite direction without thinking.
Lin Yun immediately met it head-on, simultaneously using the Flowing Wind Movement Technique and Eight Steps Catching Cicadas. Especially Eight Steps Catching Cicadas, which was a movement technique that combined speed burst. Lin Yun had already reached a level close to mastery with it, making it even more powerful than ordinary Fourth-Grade martial arts movement techniques.
Coupled with the absence of the 300 jin of weight constraint, Lin Yun's body felt as if it were flying. Before the Shadow Phantom Leopard could react, he had already sprinted in front of it.
"Mountain Shocking Fist!"
Lin Yun threw a punch. At this moment, the effect of a simple and brutal fist technique was evident.
The complex Mystic Gate Seal was more powerful, but it required time to form seals. The Mountain Shocking Fist could build momentum while running.
Lin Yun punched heavily, hitting the Shadow Phantom Leopard on the head.
This time, he held nothing back.
"Oww-woo!"
The Shadow Phantom Leopard fell to the ground in agony, letting out whimpering sounds of pain.
"Roar!"
Tiger Heroine caught up, pouncing like a predator hunting its prey. She fiercely pounced on the Shadow Phantom Leopard, biting down on the Shadow Phantom Leopard's neck and ending its life.
"Alright," Lin Yun patted Tiger Heroine's head, making it release its bite, then put the Shadow Phantom Leopard into his Cosmos Sack.
"Now, go down to the valley below. First, kill that woman and take the Void Spirit Grass from her hand. Then, find a chance to kill that man. As for the others, if they run, let them run. Don't chase them," Lin Yun pointed at Xie Yingying and Lei Li below, making sure Tiger Heroine understood clearly.
"Roar!"
Tiger Heroine let out a low growl, indicating it understood Lin Yun's meaning.
Rustle rustle rustle... Tiger Heroine charged towards the valley.
"System, establish a mission!" Lin Yun said in his mind.
Mission: Drive your beast to kill Xie Yingying. Reward: Intermediate Rune Treasure "Thunder Mark Gauntlets".
Mission: Drive your beast to kill Lei Li. Reward: Advanced Rune Treasure "Mountain Piercing Spear".
Rune Treasures, good stuff... Lin Yun's eyes lit up when he saw the reward items.
Rune Treasures are weapons that only Rune Masters can create. Runes are inscribed on the weapons, giving them certain characteristics, such as being sharper, having stronger defense, or having attack properties like fire or thunder.
Rune Treasures don't reach the level of Spiritual Treasures, but they are more powerful than ordinary weapons.
They are suitable for experts between the Earthly Yuan Realm and the Core Formation Realm.
"The system is quite thoughtful, arranging weapons for me," Lin Yun felt relieved. When he fought the Fire Python Tiger before, he had been thinking about getting a weapon for himself in the future.
He was quite satisfied with the Mountain Piercing Spear.
Men should use long weapons, heavy weapons.
In Huaxia, since ancient times, spears and halberds were used by handsome generals.
Hammers, axes, and the like were used by ugly men.
The system understood him well and knew that spears and halberds suited his temperament.
"Run, it's the Fire Python Tiger!"
"Heavenly Yuan Realm demonic beast, Fire Python Tiger, damn it, how could it appear here?"
"Let's go."
As the Fire Python Tiger rushed into the valley, the participants from the Lei, Xie, and Lin families below cried out in panic and immediately scattered and fled.
Lin Dong and Lei Li also quickly separated.
Facing the fiercely murderous Fire Python Tiger, no one dared to resist.
"Let's run first," Lin Dong called out to Lin Xia and the others, quickly retreating.
Escaping was the priority now; they couldn't worry about the spiritual herbs anymore.
However, the Fire Python Tiger completely ignored the Lin Clan members and went straight after the Lei and Xie families.
The people from the two families quickly scattered and fled, and Lei Li and Xie Yingying naturally ended up together.
The Fire Python Tiger directly locked onto Xie Yingying.
"It's after the spiritual herbs."
"This is its old lair."
"Sister Yingying, quickly throw the spiritual herbs to it."
The people from the Lei and Xie families shouted, reminding Xie Yingying.
At this point, Xie Yingying had also discovered the problem, but she seemed somewhat unwilling. Holding the spiritual herbs, she was still hesitating. The fifth-grade Void Spirit Grass was too precious; it was her chance to break through to the Earthly Yuan Realm.
"What are you doing? Quickly throw down the spiritual herbs," Lei Li roared, almost angered to death by his fiancée.
How could they face a Heavenly Yuan Realm Fire Python Tiger?
"Brother Li, help me, I want..." Xie Yingying hadn't finished speaking.
Lei Li's eyes turned fierce, and he directly shook off her hand, abandoning her, and ran forward alone.
As a rational man, at this moment of life and death, he couldn't afford to hesitate. The Fire Python Tiger's speed was much faster than theirs. If he didn't let go, he would be killed by this stupid woman, Xie Yingying.
"Brother Li!"
Xie Yingying was scared and quickly threw down the spiritual herbs.
However, at this moment, the Fire Python Tiger had already caught up.
"Roar!"
With a roar, the Fire Python Tiger pounced on Xie Yingying. Xie Yingying, who was at Body Tempering ninth level, was like a delicious and tender snack in front of a Heavenly Yuan Realm demonic beast. With a gentle bite, she was gone.
After dealing with Xie Tingting, the Fire Python Tiger picked up the Void Spirit Grass in its mouth and immediately chased after Lei Li.
"No, don't come over..." Lei Li shouted in despair.
He had already abandoned Xie Yingying and the spiritual herbs, why was it still not letting him go?
Unfortunately, Tiger Heroine completely ignored Lei Li.
It only obeyed its master's command! "Pounce!"
In the blink of an eye, Tiger Heroine caught up to Lei Li. Its tiger claws extended and grabbed him on the back.
In its eyes, Lei Li, who was in the Earthly Yuan Realm, was nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
One swipe of its tiger claw was enough for an easy instant kill!
The sharp tiger claw nearly pierced through Lei Li's entire body.
After dealing with the two, the Fire Python Tiger didn't pursue further but stopped.
The surrounding people had fled for their lives, not daring to look back at all. The people from the Lei and Xie Families only glanced back briefly. Even though their young master and young lady were killed by the Fire Python Tiger, they had no intention of stopping, and even ran faster.
If even Lei Li couldn't block it, how could they?
Before long, only Tiger Heroine and two corpses remained in the entire valley.
Lin Yun used his mental energy to scan the surroundings. After confirming there was no one, he called Tiger Heroine back and put her into the alchemy furnace.
[Task: Defeat Lei Li. Reward: Root Bone +2, Luck +2. Completed, claim?]
[Task: Command your beast to kill Xie Yingying. Reward: Intermediate Rune Treasure "Thunder Mark Gauntlets". Completed, claim?]
[Task: Command your beast to kill Lei Li. Reward: Advanced Rune Treasure "Mountain Piercing Spear". Completed, claim?]
Three task completion prompts popped up directly in his mind.
The task to defeat Lei Li was a task he had set up before.
He hadn't expected that Tiger Heroine killing him this time would also complete it incidentally.
Tiger Heroine was now his beast, so it counted as him making a move, which was very reasonable.
"Alright, I'll go to the central Giant Platform first!"
Lin Yun sped up and ran towards the central Giant Platform.
He wanted to arrive before everyone else and then wait to watch the show.
With the top geniuses of the Lei and Xie Families dead, he feared the two major families would lose control.
He was looking forward to it!
Putting two chapters together, that's all for today! I originally wanted to update on time, but there are really too many things during the New Year. I can only guarantee two chapters of updates, not the time. I'll adjust after the New Year! I wish everyone a Happy New Year again!
