Chapter 345: Battle in the Demo Mountain Range!

  "Not long ago, I detected a trace of the Green Lotus Core Fme. Now it seems that the fme has likely been taken by him!" Yao Lao said with great certainty.

  Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan sighed, "It seems that the Green Lotus Core Fme is not destio be mine."

  Seeing Xiao Yan's somewhat dejected expression, Yao Lao suddenly asked, "Xiao Yan, are yretting cultivating the Fme Mantra?"

  The reason Yao Lao asked this was because, up until now, the Fme Mantra had not absorbed any type of Heavenly Fme, not eve Fmes, causing it to remain at a low-tier Yellow rank, which seriously hindered Xiao Yan's cultivation speed.

  "Teacher..."

  Hearing Yao Lao's question, Xiao Yaated, falling into deep thought.

  Seeing Xiao Yan's silence, Yao Lao, feeling a bit guilty, said, "Xiao Yan, if yret it now, you switch to another cultivatiohod."

  "Teacher, I don’t regret it!"

  When Yao Lao mentioned switg to another cultivatiohod, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly became resolute. He shook his head and said, "If I don’t have enough strength, how I gain the approval of Xun'er’s family? You oold me that only by cultivating the Fme Mantra I achieve that kind of power. I believe in your judgment, Teacher!"

  Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao's eyes gleamed with excitement as he said, "Good! Since you don’t regret it, the's get ba track! Even without the Green Lotus Core Fme, I still help you find another Heavenly Fme."

  "Yes!"

  Enced by Yao Lao, Xiao Yan straightened his bad quickly started running across the scorg sand, heading towards the pce where he had agreed to meet Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

  …

  In the vast Demo Mountain Range, a gigantic bck-scaled drago across the sky, blog out the sun as it moved over the forest.

  In the forest below, tless demos, sensing the terrifying aura, couldn't help but prostrate themselves on the ground.

  "With Yanran's strength, she shouldn’t have ventured into the areas inhabited by high-level demos."

  Standing on the back of the Bck Scaled Frigid Python, Gu He calmly analyzed the situation to Yun Yun, ign the fearful demos around them.

  At this moment, less than a hundred miles away from the two of them, in a mountain ravine, Nan Yanran, dressed in a long white gown, was engaged in an intetle.

  At the bottom of the ravihree demos, each about three meters long and resembling leopards, had surrounded Nan Yanran, their eyes fixed on her with predatory i.

  These three beasts were the infamous fourth-rank demos known as Bloodthirsty Demon Leopards, and one of them had even reached the mid-fourth rank.

  Nan Yanran, after a year of cultivation, had just reached the peak of the Dou Grandmaster stage.

  "This is going to be troublesome!"

  Seeing the three Bloodthirsty Demon Leopards with their jaws wide open, eyes gleaming with menaan Yanra a surge of tension.

  Although she had experience defeating fourth-rank demos before, this time was different. She was being attacked by three at once, including o the mid-fourth rank. If it weren't for her wind attribute Dou Qi, which granted her agility, she would have already been seriously injured.

  "Roar!"

  Ieandoff, one of the demon leopards suddenly unched an attack, leaping teers into the air, its sharp cws sshing towards Nan Yanran's position.

  In that split sed, Nan Yanran's figure flickered, and with a swift flick of her sword, a burst of sword light shot out, leaving a wound on the demon leopard's front paw.

  Although she was only at the peak of the Dou Grandmaster stage, the powerful cutting ability granted by her wind attribute allowed her to inflict signifit damage ohree demos.

  Moreover, after all the battles she had fought retly, she had accumuted a wealth of bat experience, enablio quickly identify and exploit the weaknesses of her enemies during fights.

  "Roar!"

  After the first demon leopard missed its attack, the other two swiftly joihe fray.

  Nan Yanran, uhe relentless assault of these three fourth-rank demos, narrowly avoided their attacks each time. However, as time passed, the rate at which her Dou Qi was being ed increased rapidly.

  Although her attacks had inflicted siderable damage on the demon leopards, they were not enough t them down. Instead, the injuries only seemed te the beasts further, making their attacks even more ferocious.

  “Damn it!”

  Seeing the beasts being even mgressive after being wounded, a growing sense of despair welled up within Nan Yanran.

  Uhe bined assault of these three demos, Nan Yanran didn’t dare to use the powerful Dou Teiques that Gu He had taught her. Such teiques would drain all of her Dou Qi, and if even one demon leopard remained alive afterward, she would be pletely defenseless. All she could do was fight while retreating.

  Within minutes, Nan Yanran’s Dou Qi had dwio less than a tenth of its inal amount. The loss of Dou Qi caused her movements to slow down siderably.

  In a moment of carelessness, a burst of energy from one of the demon leopards sshed across her right leg, sending her flying backward and crashing hard against the mountain wall.

  "Master, Mistress, I’m going to disappoint you… I haven’t even pleted a siask assigo me…”

  Rolling down from the four-meter-high mountain wall, Nan Yanran y on the ground, her ability to move pletely gone. As she watched the three massive figures pouoward her, she closed her eyes in despair.

  Just as the mid-fourth-rank demon leopard, with its gaping jaws, was about to devour Nan Yanran, a red figure suddenly appeared in front of her at an incredible speed, blog the leopard’s attack. With a casual kick, the figure struck the demon leopard.

  “Boom!”

  A massive surge of red Dou Qi shot into the demon leopard's mouth. Before it could react, its body exploded violently.

  The deafening sound echoed in Nan Yanran’s ears.

  “What is this?”

  Curious, Nan Yanran opened her eyes and immediately saw a red-haired figure standing just a meter in front of her, with the shattered remains of the demon leopard’s body scattered nearby.

  The other two demon leopards, upon witnessing this, were filled with fear but still charged forward recklessly.

  Under Nan Yanran’s astonished gaze, the red-haired figure remained unmoved. As soon as the two demon leopards leaped toward him, they inexplicably burst into clouds of blood mist.

  “This person is incredibly strong! He killed two fourth-rank demon leopards so easily!”

  A mix of shod wariness arose in Nan Yanran’s heart.

  After disposing of the two demon leopards, the red figure slowly turned around.

  The man appeared to be in his thirties, a fiery red robe adorned with the pattern of a floon. His hair was also a vivid shade of red.
