Phoenix Emperor
Chap 18's. Hunt IV

"The strength of this spiritual beast is close to king level, we can't possibly fight it!"

Qian Zhou looked extremely panicked after noticing the power of the fire lion, he also felt annoyed at Yin Feng and the others for having put himself in a dangerous situation.

"Chairman! We better get out of here!" said Ye Han.

Yin Feng smiled and shook his head slowly, "i will continue this fight until it is over!"

Since it was already over, Yin Feng intended to finish the fight, besides, Yin Feng did not want to become a coward who could only escape from trouble.

"But fighting it is too dangerous!"

"Just calm down, I will definitely kill him!"

Yin Feng then released his aura of power and instantly, the body of the fire lion instantly trembled when it sensed the aura emanating from Yin Feng's body.

Not only that, the aura of power released by Yin Feng was also capable of suppressing the aura of the fire lion. Moreover, Yin Feng's aura also dissipated the heat emanating from the aura of the fire lion.

"Let's get started!"

Yin Feng suddenly disappeared from sight and a moment after, Yin Feng appeared again before the fire lion, then launched an attack with his silver dagger.

However, Yin Feng's attack was successfully avoided by the golden lion, even the fire lion also counterattacked, but his attack was successfully resisted by Yin Feng.

Dhuayar!

A large explosion occurred when the two attacks collided, the shock wave created from the explosion made the two pushed back up to several meters.

Yin Feng smiled, although the strength of the fire lion was not comparable to that of the mountain guard dragon, but fighting against him gave a sense of satisfaction in itself.

"We're just messing around with it!" Yin Feng coated the silver dagger with his spiritual energy, then darted forward at maximum speed.

The fire lion did not want to miss, it also darted forward near Yin Feng at its maximum speed, at the same time, it shot out several fireballs from its mouth.

A slash!

A slash!

Yin Feng had no intention of dodging the attack in the slightest and by using the silver dagger, Yin Feng split apart all the fireballs that were fired towards him.

After which, Yin Feng launched his attack, instantly a sizable energy blade was created and instantly shot out at high speed towards the fire lion.

Just like Yin Feng, the fire lion also did not dodge the attacks directed at him, it instead launched a counterattack by swinging its claws.

Dhuayar!

The huge explosion occurred again as the two attacks clashed in the air, the extremely dense spiritual energy overflowing and causing an energy friction.

Even so, the two of them still continued the fight, as if the overflow and friction of spiritual energy that occurred was not an obstacle for the two of them.

A slash!

"Groarrr!"

The fire lion roared loudly when Yin Feng managed to land the slash on his body, he tried to counterattack, but Yin Feng had suddenly disappeared.

The next instant, Yin Feng appeared on the other side of the fire lion body, then Yin Feng landed a hard kick on the belly of the fire lion to make it thrown into the air.

"This is the end!" yin Feng said as he jumped into the air following the fire lion.

A slash!

A slash!

After which, Yin Feng launched a barrage of attacks and in just a split second, Yin Feng had managed to create dozens of incision wounds on the body of the fire lion.

The body of the fire lion finally fell to the ground, then it was followed up by its head which had been decapitated by Yin Feng.

"Feng Huang, you're really amazing!" said Ye Han.

"That's right! I didn't even expect you to be able to defeat that fire lion" He Jin added.

Everyone praised Yin Feng's prowess for successfully killing a second-rate spiritual beast by himself, but not with Qian Zhou, he was precisely getting annoyed with Yin Feng.

"Thank you, without your help, our lives may have been lost" said the group's leader, who first confronted the fire lion.

Yin Feng shook his head softly, "don't thank me, I did it for myself anyway."

From the very beginning, Yin Feng did not intend to help the group, the reason for doing so was simply because of wanting the soul crystal within the body of the fire lion.

Even so, his actions had indirectly saved the life of the group, so it was only natural that they would express their gratitude to Yin Feng.

"Receive it, just think of it as a thank you from us" the young man handed over 50 low quality soul crystals to Yin Feng.

"Are you sure?"

"of course. And I hope you're not disappointed by the number, because we only have 100 soul crystals."

Yin Feng frowned, yet he did not say anything and directly received the 50 soul crystals that the young man had given him.

"Thank you" Yin Feng said.

The young man smiled, then said goodbye to Yin Feng and the others, then hurried to leave the place with his group members.

After that, Yin Feng dissected the body of the fire lion and took out his soul crystal, Yin Feng also took out some parts of the body of the fire lion to consume or sell.

Fire lion meat has properties that can increase spiritual energy when consumed, while for canine skin and tail can be sold at a fairly expensive price.

"Feng Huang, may we know your cultivation level?" ask He Jin.

"My cultivation level is not much different from yours" Yin Feng replied.

"No way! If your cultivation is the same as ours, there's no way you can kill that fire lion."

"Don't know, maybe I'm just lucky" Yin Feng said.

They all seemed disappointed to hear Yin Feng's reply, but there was nothing they could do if Yin Feng refused to tell him his cultivation level.

"Although it's only a stroke of luck, but it's still impossible to defeat the fire lion" Qian Zhou who had been silent from the start finally spoke up.

"You're right! But clearly effort will not betray results."

"Cih... Don't be too big of a head, because after this I won't let go of you!"

Yin Feng suddenly stopped his steps. "Do whatever you want to do, but you have to remember, if it wasn't for my teacher, I guarantee you'd be dead by now."

As well as the others, Yin Feng was not happy with Qian Zhou's attitude, even so, he could only keep quiet for not wanting to refute his teacher's orders.

If not for Xu Jiang's request, Yin Feng would have already left Qian Zhou alone in the wilderness, or even obliterated Qian Zhou's life with his own hands.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, but you better realize where you are before you talk!"

"Feng Huang's! Are you threatening me? Do you think you'll survive after you tell me this?"

"Don't worry about my safety, just think about your own safety, because your teacher isn't in this forest."
