“Human, I will kill you! No! I will eat you!”
The fire-eyed blood-hoofed lion roared with fury, its eyes filled with a fierce light as it glared at Tan Yun.
Tan Yun, undeterred by the beast's anger, steadied his grip on the weapon and prepared for the next attack.
With the primordial divine step, he swiftly maneuvered around the lion, dodging its furious swings while looking for an opening to strike again.
The blood-soaked ground beneath his feet testified to the ferocity of the battle, but Tan Yun remained calm and focused.
“Just a little more,” he thought, sensing the lion's energy waning.
The lion, realizing it was at a disadvantage, roared once more and summoned its remaining strength, preparing to launch a desperate counterattack.
Tan Yun, with his eyes fixed on the lion, felt the air crackle with tension as the two adversaries stared each other down, both unwilling to back down.
The fire-eyed blood-hoofed lion screamed in rage, its body suddenly twisting, and its massive tail, extending five hundred zhang, crashed down through the collapsing void, striking Tan Yun’s chest!
“Boom!”
Amidst the deafening sound, Tan Yun felt as though his chest had been hammered, his internal organs seemed to shift, and a jet of blood erupted from his mouth.
Tan Yun's towering figure flew backward like a shell.
“Jing Yun!” Just as Xuan Yuan Rou was about to fly towards Tan Yun, he hurriedly transmitted a message: “Rou'er, don’t worry about me! I have the Ancient Divine Armor protecting me; I won’t die!”
“Rou'er, I will hold it off; you sneak attack and disable its left front hoof!”
After sending the message, Tan Yun suddenly released his left hand, looking at Li Shiyin in his palm, and transmitted: “Did you successfully cultivate the Ancient Divine Illusion Sword Formation I taught you?”
Ignoring her tears and the confusion of why Tan Yun was unafraid of the Divine Fire, Li Shiyin nodded and transmitted back, “I have successfully cultivated it.”
“Good! When I give the command, use the Ancient Divine Illusion Sword Formation, and we will defeat this beast together!”
After transmitting, Tan Yun held Li Shiyin tightly in his left hand, his body soared into the air, transforming into a residual shadow, suddenly appearing above the fire-eyed blood-hoofed lion, shouting: “Shiyin, let’s set up the formation together!”
As Tan Yun abruptly released his left hand, Li Shiyin, dressed in a white dress whiter than snow, wielded her Divine Sword, flickering through the void, creating ninety-seven indistinguishable clones of herself.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”
At the same time, Tan Yun wielded the Celestial Master Divine Sword, using the primordial divine step, frequently flashing through the void, also executing the Ancient Divine Illusion Sword Formation, transforming into ninety-eight Tan Yuns, alongside ninety-eight Li Shiyins, surrounding the towering fire-eyed blood-hoofed lion!
“Hmm? What kind of technique is this?” The fire-eyed blood-hoofed lion was momentarily dazed, thinking it was seeing double; it shook its head vigorously and realized it wasn’t seeing things!
“Shiyin, the clones will feign an attack; your real body will be responsible for slicing its neck, and I will destroy its eyes!” Tan Yun transmitted.
“Okay!” Li Shiyin immediately replied, her greatest fear was the fire-eyed blood-hoofed lion’s fiery gaze.
“Kill!” Tan Yun’s cold voice rang out, as the ninety-eight Tan Yuns and ninety-eight Li Shiyins swung their swords toward the fire-eyed blood-hoofed lion.
“Even if I lose a hoof and my strength is greatly diminished, I am not afraid of you!”
The fire-eyed blood-hoofed lion roared angrily, its huge eyes spewing out a torrent of Divine Fire, instantly burning several of Tan Yun’s and Li Shiyin’s clones to ashes.
“Boom boom boom—”
Simultaneously, the fire-eyed blood-hoofed lion swung its massive tail, shattering the void as it smashed through dozens of Tan Yun's and Li Shiyin’s clones.
