REBORN OF THE LEGENDARY BEAST MASTER-Chapter 9 - : Battle with the Night Panther

The Silverfang Wolf growled low, its body tensed and ready for action. Li Jun stood still, watching the Night Panther carefully through his All-Knowing Eye. The beast's sleek black fur blended with the shadows, its glowing amber eyes locked onto Li Jun and his wolf.

Li Jun could feel the tension in the air. The Night Panther was no ordinary predator. It was known for its incredible speed and deadly ambush tactics. However, the Silverfang Wolf had been growing stronger by the day, and Li Jun had a feeling that it was ready for the challenge.

He gave a subtle nod to his beast. "We'll take this slow. Let it come to us."

The wolf crouched, its muscles coiled and ready to strike. The Night Panther, sensing its opponent's vigilance, hesitated for a moment before charging. With a burst of speed, it shot forward, its claws outstretched, aiming for the wolf's throat.

The Silverfang Wolf reacted in an instant, using Shadow Pounce to dodge the attack, leaping to the side and narrowly avoiding the panther's deadly strike. The Night Panther skidded to a stop and immediately turned, its eyes blazing with fury.

Li Jun's mind raced. He needed to act fast. He could sense the Night Panther's next move even before it made it. The panther's speed was its biggest asset, but the Silverfang Wolf's agility was now on par, if not superior.

"Now!" Li Jun shouted.

The Silverfang Wolf lunged forward, its jaws snapping shut around the Night Panther's hind leg. The panther yelped in pain, but it retaliated immediately, spinning around and sinking its claws into the wolf's side. Blood spurted from the wound, but the Silverfang Wolf held firm, using its strength to pull the panther down to the ground.

Li Jun felt a jolt of energy as his wolf's battle instincts flared. The bond between them was stronger than ever, and the wolf's movements were fluid, almost as if they were one.

Without hesitation, Li Jun commanded, "Fang Strike!"

The Silverfang Wolf bit down hard on the Night Panther's neck. The panther struggled, but the wolf's bite was unrelenting. Its powerful jaws pierced through the panther's defenses, and with one final tug, the beast went limp.

Li Jun's heart raced as he watched the defeated Night Panther twitch before succumbing to its injuries. He took a deep breath, letting the tension in his body fade.

Victory.

He approached the fallen beast and crouched down, inspecting its body. The Night Panther had been a formidable foe, but Li Jun's bond with the Silverfang Wolf had given them the edge. The wolf panted heavily, its body covered in blood, but it was still standing tall.

Li Jun pulled out a small jade vial from his pouch, then placed his hand on the Night Panther's chest. His All-Knowing Eye guided him to the correct spot. He focused his energy and extracted the Essence Core, a pulsating ball of pure energy that represented the beast's power.

The Essence Core of the Night Panther was now in his hands, a vital resource for the evolution of the Silverfang Wolf.

Li Jun stood, wiping the sweat from his brow. He took a moment to examine the Essence Core, then turned to his wolf. "You did well."

The wolf's eyes glowed faintly, its respect for Li Jun growing stronger with every battle.

Li Jun smiled. "Now, let's collect the rest."

With the Moonshade Grass in hand and the Essence Core secured, the journey was far from over. But with each victory, Li Jun could feel himself growing closer to his ultimate goal.

The path ahead was uncertain, but he was ready.
