Return Of the Great Demon God
ch-53 Zi Yan vs Fire Lion

"lion fire? Is that the name of the beast sleeping there that's a teacher?"

"True, he is a species of fire lion, and judging from his height it seems like he is immature and still a teenager"

Mo Shen had previously faced a fully grown fire lion, the height of the fire lion faced by Mo Shen back then was 10 meters and possessed the cultivation of the 5th level of the Birth realm.

While the fire lion that was in front of them right now was still a teenager, with its height reaching 4 meters and its cultivation stage being at the 5th level of the Soul Refining realm, which was three levels above Zi Yan.

"Teacher can I fight him?"

"Are you sure? Even though you are in the same realm but the cultivation level of this fire lion is at stage 5 which means that the cultivation level of kaliab is three levels away"

"I'm very sure teacher, even though his cultivation level is above mine but I have something that he doesn't have"

"What's that?"

"Acal"

"Hahhhh you are so stubborn, well if you are so eager to fight the fire lion I will not stand in your way, fight as much as you are Zi Yan "

"Good teacher"

After being allowed by Mo Shen to fight the fire lion Zi Yan immediately walked towards the sleeping fire lion.

As their distance got closer the fire lion opened his eyes from sensing the presence of someone, when he opened his eyes he immediately saw Zi Yan who was walking towards him while holding a pitch-black sword and surrounded by an extremely black Qi energy.

That Qi energy surrounding Zi Yan's sword was the dark Qi used by Zi Yan to wrap her blade. Although it did not have intelligence but the fire lion had the instincts of a savage beast, when he saw Zi Yan instinct it instantly came out and instantly he charged towards Zi Yan and attacked Zi Yan with his claws.

Zi Yan did not stay still, she dodged to the left and gave a vertical slash to the body of the fire lion, but unfortunately the attack was successfully avoided by the fire lion.

Seeing that his attack failed Zi Yan did not give up, she agilely ran around the fire lion while slashing at it, occasionally Zi Yan attacks the body of the fire lion, but Zi Yan also receives some attacks as well.

A few minutes later Zi Yan and the fire lion were still fighting an attack, Zi Yan used her sword and the fire lion used its claws as well as its mouth.

From a distance Mo Shen saw the fight between his disciple and the fire lion, he smiled faintly and showed a joyous expression on his face, with a soft voice he said.

"Hoho seems like this disciple of mine far exceeded my expectations, able to fight on balance with his opponent who is 3 levels above him and does not use any martial techniques, what a terrifying talent"

Mo Shen also looked back at the fight from Zi Yan and the fire lion which now seemed to have heated up even more, as their bodies were each injured in several places.

Seeing his opponent who was not easy to defeat Zi Yan focused more on the speed of his legs than the strength of his sword. Nimblely he jumped here and there while giving a wound.

Although the injuries given were not as strong as before but Zi Yan's speed was higher than before, as she already felt the urgency of the fire lion jumping several meters back and growling furiously.

Instantly from his body released flames that enveloped his body, with claws enveloped by flames he attacked Zi Yan brutally.

This caused the atmosphere to be inversely proportional because right now Zi Yan could only endure it and was unable to retaliate against a single attack. Seeing his disciple being cornered Mo Shen only smiled faintly and not worriedly.

Now that Zi Yan who could only defend was getting more and more annoyed, she turned her brain to find a way to counterattack.

'shit*n I'm cornered, I can't believe this lion has a rampage mode, because it's like it's time I use it'

After obtaining the solution Zi Yan leaped a few meters back to make a distance between herself and the fire lion. When the distance was formed he raised straight as his sword and closed his eyes to focus.

Seeing Zi Yan's action made Mo Shen even more excited as he already knew what her disciple was going to do.

Instantly Zi Yan opened her eyes and stared intently at the fire lion, with a sword that was already enveloped in a dark Qi that was more dense than before she muttered something.

"Dark Dance Sword Technique"

Instantly Zi Yan charged towards the fire lion, he attacked the fire lion with his sword and the style of attack carried out by Zi Yan was like he was dancing but it was so sharp that the fire lion was unable to realize where Zi Yan was coming from.

This was the usefulness of the Darkness Dance Sword Technique, which Zi Yan looked like she was dancing while grasping her sword but in each of her movements she gave a sharp and unpredictable attack.

Plus the dark Qi enveloping his sword made Zi Yan's attack power become stronger than before.

The atmosphere had turned back where Zi Yan was currently cornered the fire lion with her sword dance, and before long Zi Yan disappeared and reappeared above the body of the fire lion, with a sharp grin on his face he said something.

"Goodbye little cat"

SSSLAASSHH

BBBUUKKKK

Instantly the head of the fire lion was severed and fell, it signified the victory of Zi Yan but shortly after she won Zi Yan instantly fell limp.

Quickly Mo Shen held back Zi Yan's body so that she would not fall, Zi Yan also saw Mo Shen restraining her body from falling just smiling and saying.

"How teacher, I won, isn't that a sign that I'm great?"

"Yes you are very good, as expected of my students"

"Hehehe thanks teacher, I'm so happy"

"Hahahaha alright you rest first I will take care of your body"

Upon hearing his teacher's words, Zi Yan instantly fainted from running out of Qi energy in her body from over-exerting herself to use one of the sword techniques given by Mo Shen.

Mo Shen only lifted Zi Yan's body and brought her home, in the middle of her journey she suddenly remembered her dead friend.

Because Zi Yan's personality is very similar to Hei'an Zhi Zhu where they are both stubborn and love to challenge something stronger than them to just spur adrenaline. Mo Shen also looked at Zi Yan who was still fainting as needed and muttered.

'Zhi Zhu seems like this time my bet is not wrong, this kid will definitely be the successor that deserves you'
