Chapter 16 - I Am Jinlun Guoshi
When the roar sounded, it was as if there was a thunderclap in the clear sky above the mountain peak. Terrifying sound waves rushed out in all directions, sweeping up gusts of violent winds.
On the ground, the rocks that had just been scratched were swept up and turned into dust!
The Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard stood there just like that, its aura surged and howled. The surrounding environment was affected. Visible air waves formed and surrounded its body.
It was as if it had suddenly suffered some kind of stimulation. It acted as if it had gone mad, and a cold light erupted from its beast eyes. Its anger soared to the heavens as it shouted sternly, “How insolent!”
“The endless wilderness outside of Langya County City is the territory of the Demon Venerable Tiandu. I am the third great beast king under the Demon Venerable, and this is something that the Demon Venerable ordered me to protect. How dare you be so impudent?!”
“Are you going to challenge me, Tiandu’s Demon Leader? Are you going to challenge the Lord Demon Venerable?”
After shouting, it stood there with an awe-inspiring and arrogant expression, like a king looking down on Wang Yi.
The Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard seemed to be full of vigor, but in its heart, it was also panicking.
It was afraid that Wang Yi would suddenly kill him out of anger. If the other party wanted to kill him, it would take a matter of minutes.
Actually, this was also a gamble. It was betting that Wang Yi would not kill it.
This was a good opportunity to probe the other party’s background.
If the other party really was from the Secret Sect City, he definitely wouldn’t care about the threat of the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard. In that case, the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard could only think of other ways.
However, if the other party did not have such a powerful background, the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard might be able to use the name of the Demon Venerable to scare the other party away without paying any price. As such, it would be able to claim the treasure for itself.
The Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard wasn’t willing to tell the Demon Venerable Tiandu about the Seven-Colored Ascension Stage.
If such a treasure was reported, it might be appreciated by the Demon Venerable and the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard would definitely be rewarded. However, no matter what the reward was, it would not be as important as the Seven-Colored Heaven Ascension Stage.
Moreover, he was only the third great beast king. There were still the first and second great beast kings before him!
According to the distribution of resources, the rewards would definitely be given to the first two beast kings first. Their chances of breaking through were indeed higher.
No matter who the rewards were given to, it would never have the chance to advance.
Thus, it could only hope that the reputation of the Demon Venerable could really scare the other party.
To be honest, the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard’s move was actually quite good. Although it was a vicious beast, its intelligence and calculations were not inferior to a human’s. In fact, it was much stronger in these aspects.
Ordinary people, and even top-notch great grandmasters who had undergone a transformation, would not be willing to provoke a Demon Venerable. They would most likely retreat.
However, the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard was unlucky to have met Wang Yi today.
Was Wang Yi an ordinary person? He was a transmigrator!
Not long after he came to this world, he already possessed such terrifying strength in an extremely short period of time.
However, he was still a newcomer after all. The memories he inherited did not include any understanding of anything beyond Rank-7, so he was rather clueless about this world.
He didn’t even know what a great beast king was, let alone a Demon Venerable!
The Demon Venerable was the honorific name of a Connate-Realm demon.
After a beast entered the Connate Realm, it would transform into a demon and cleanse its body, producing all sorts of incredible changes.
Just like humans who broke through to the Connate Realm, their lifespan would also increase.
However, even if Wang Yi knew, he wouldn’t care. So what if he offended the Demon Venerable?
By the time the other party came knocking on his door, he would have long since broken through to the Connate Realm. Even if he hadn’t made a breakthrough yet, he would at least have the power to match or even kill Connate-Realm experts.
At that time, if the other party really dared to find him, he would directly slap them to death. It would be a good opportunity to enrich his inventory of spiritual food.
Wang Yi was startled by the sudden roar. His ears were ringing and he felt dizzy.
It was not that the roar was powerful enough to hurt Wang Yi.
If the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard really had such strength, then what was the point of confronting it here? Wang Yi would have long fled!
It was mainly because the roar was too sudden and because he was not mentally prepared. Thus, he was caught off guard.
At this moment, Wang Yi’s heart was burning with rage, and his gaze towards the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard became increasingly hostile.
This beast was definitely looking for trouble!
He had originally planned to let it go, but he didn’t expect such a move from it. It was a typical death-seeking player.
Wang Yi was also furious and let out a long howl.
On top of the mountain peak, it was as if thousands of dragons were roaring. All kinds of roars could be heard as a majestic aura swept in all directions!
Within a radius of a few kilometers, all those who were not strong enough were knocked unconscious by the sound waves. The closer they got to the center of the source, the more powerful the sound waves were. Some were even directly killed.
This was much more terrifying than the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard’s roar. Countless cracks instantly appeared on the mirror-like peak and extended into the distance like a spider web.
The Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard’s enormous body was forcefully flipped over by this sound wave and it flew backward.
At the same time, Wang Yi suddenly charged out. His body rubbed against the air and created a sonic boom.
He seemed to ignore space and distance. He was like a bolt of lightning in the night, appearing and disappearing in an instant.
He was the last to start moving but first to land. He appeared directly beside the massive figure that was sent flying.
As he brandished his fists, his aura erupted. It was vast and boundless like an abyss!
Following this, he threw a punch forward. True qi revolved around his fists, and the faint images of a dragon and an elephant appeared. This was accompanied by boundless divine power, and it was like a volcanic eruption, scorching and violent.
The expression of the previously awe-inspiring Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard immediately changed. It was no longer as calm as before.
In an instant, it felt cold sweat seeping out of its back. It was like a mouse that had been targeted by a cat. It was naturally suppressed and its life was in great danger.
The slightest carelessness would result in its death.
No matter what, the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard was still a Rank-9 beast king. Although it was much weaker than Wang Yi, it was still at the same level and was not that weak.
In the blink of an eye, it reacted and adjusted its body in midair. Then, its head dodged the attack as it stretched out its front claw to meet Wang Yi’s fist.
Boom!
The fist and the claw suddenly collided. Then, a strong force spread from the center of the impact.
If there was a Rank-7 grandmaster present, they would probably be severely injured or even die from the force.
Wang Yi’s fist seemed extremely tiny in front of the huge claw. It was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
However, what was even more shocking was that despite his extremely thin arm, he was actually completely unharmed.
As for the incomparably gigantic sharp claw, it actually bent in the opposite direction in an incomparably strange manner before drooping down powerlessly.
The Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard suddenly let out a mournful cry. It forcefully endured the bone-piercing pain from its front claw and borrowed the force of this strike to flee into the distance at an even faster speed. Then, it instantly disappeared from the peak.
He was strong!
He was simply too strong!
It had already overestimated Wang Yi, but it did not expect that one strike from him would directly break its front claw!
