Chapter 1250: Chapter 1249: Danger Approaches

"Obviously, there aren’t many signs of battle here, which means the gap between the two sides was enormous, probably encountering something powerful." Su Changfeng took a look, and it was clear that there were few traces of fighting. From this, it could be seen that the opponent completely overwhelmed them, leaving them no chance to fight back. Moreover, Su Changfeng could see that those people were killed instantly.

"What do we do now?" Wang Junyi looked hesitantly at Su Changfeng, probing.

Su Changfeng frowned. Naturally, he didn’t want to expose his strength, but given the current situation, if he didn’t act, he would likely meet his end here today. After all, Wang Junyi and Shen Rushuang wouldn’t be able to handle that creature.

Leaving now was impossible, because he distinctly felt something lurking somewhere, watching them, ready to strike at any moment.

Sure enough, the next moment, a roar sounded in his ears, echoing throughout the Yuanqi Mountain Range.

"Blood Lion, it’s actually a Blood Lion!"

"Blood Lion, isn’t that a Seven-star Beast from the center region? How can it appear in the inner circle?"

"How can there be a Seven-star Beast in the inner circle, when they only exist in the center region? If that’s true, isn’t everyone in the inner circle in danger?"

The commotion was heard not only by those in the inner circle but also by those in the outskirts of the Yuanqi Mountain Range.

At this moment, Shen Rushuang was undoubtedly in despair. She indeed intended to take advantage of the opportunity to kill Su Changfeng, but she never expected to encounter a Seven-star Beast. With her current strength, how could she possibly have a chance to escape safely?

If Su Changfeng were to die, she wouldn’t survive either.

At this moment, Shen Rushuang regretted immensely. If she hadn’t acted impulsively and followed Su Changfeng into the inner circle, she wouldn’t have encountered this situation.

But she understood that regretting now was of no use; she had heard the sound clearly just now, and the Blood Lion was nearby. She was out of options.

"Blood Lion, it seems we’re not going to survive today." Shen Rushuang said dejectedly.

"What nonsense are you talking? Who told you it was a Blood Lion? Blood Lions are Exotic Beasts from the center region!" Wang Junyi couldn’t help but chastise, feeling anxious, unwilling to accept this reality.

If they really encountered a Blood Lion, how could he possibly resist with his strength? He had only recently found a teacher, improved his skills, and had barely begun to enjoy his progress, yet he might meet his end here; it was too much of a loss.

Shen Rushuang snorted, her face pale, directly retorting, "At this point, is there any use in deluding yourself?"

Wang Junyi opened his mouth to say something, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a massive Blood Lion, its fur faintly tinged with a blood-red hue, walking towards them.

With each step, the ground subtly trembled, demonstrating the creature’s power.

Wang Junyi was filled with despair; he never expected their luck to be so bad, to actually encounter a Blood Lion!

The Seven-star Beast from the center of the Yuanqi Mountain Range, how could it be here, and to be so unfortunately encountered by them? How was there any chance of survival?

Shen Rushuang was utterly hopeless, suddenly turning to the person beside her, gritting her teeth, "Su Changfeng, it was supposed to be you who should have died, yet I’m dragged along too, how can this be? I’m unwilling to accept this."

Su Changfeng looked at her expressionlessly, completely unwilling to respond. It was clearly her malicious intentions that led them to this point; otherwise, they wouldn’t be in this situation.

If Su Changfeng’s body wasn’t poisoned by the Little White Snake, perhaps he could give it a try, but given his circumstances now, he certainly couldn’t fight the Blood Lion. Should he let the Little White Snake act? 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The Little White Snake was the White Jade Python; if it were exposed, Su Changfeng wouldn’t be able to maintain a low profile, and if he attracted the attention of the Xingluo Royal Family, he’d likely face even more trouble.

This was certainly not what Su Changfeng hoped to see, at least not now.

Su Changfeng didn’t speak, glanced at Wang Junyi, and mouthed a sentence to him.

Wang Junyi understood and walked straight towards Shen Rushuang.

"What are you doing?" Shen Rushuang frowned at him.

Wang Junyi didn’t waste words with her and raised his hand to chop at the back of Shen Rushuang’s neck. The next second, Shen Rushuang went limp and collapsed.

"Master, can you handle the Blood Lion?" Wang Junyi’s eyes shone as he looked at Su Changfeng, knowing they had no way to escape but to rely on Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng shook his head and explained, "I was previously injured, the toxins in my body haven’t cleared, I’m afraid I can’t deal with that creature."

Wang Junyi’s face fell; his current strength was merely Fourth Rank, even if he charged in with all his might, he’d be instantly crushed by the opponent.

"Master, what do we do now? That creature is a Seven-star Beast, it moves quickly, we can’t escape." Wang Junyi was about to cry.

"I have a way, but no matter what you see next, it’s best to forget it, otherwise, I’m afraid I can’t let you stay." Su Changfeng said.

Although Wang Junyi didn’t understand what Su Changfeng meant, he trusted his master greatly now, so he nodded without hesitation.

"Master, don’t worry, you are my master, how could I betray you?" Wang Junyi said, though he was also very curious about what Su Changfeng had up his sleeve. Seeing his serious demeanor, Wang Junyi’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster.

At this moment, Wang Junyi still did not know he would witness something unforgettable for the rest of his life today—the White Jade Python, Nine-star Beast, appearing, even the Primordial Essence of Tianyuan Continent dreamed of owning it as the strongest Exotic Beast.

Su Changfeng rubbed his arm, sighed, and said, "Hurry up and get to work, show me what you’re capable of."

Soon, the Little White Snake lazily poked its head out and slowly crawled out.

Wang Junyi was initially stunned; was this a joke, this little creature?

He gulped and looked at the Blood Lion, which stood nearly two persons tall, saying with a shocked face, "Master, is this?"

Following his surprise, he was also puzzled; his master couldn’t possibly bring out something useless, right? But he really couldn’t see any special traits of this little thing.

Wang Junyi naturally didn’t know that this was the White Jade Python, since he had never seen it before, and couldn’t possibly think that the strongest White Jade Python among the Nine-star Beasts would look like this little creature.

Su Changfeng didn’t speak, his eyes tightly fixed on the White Jade Python crawling towards the Blood Lion’s feet. Back when they were in the Infinite Cave, this little fellow had put all the Exotic Beasts in their place, so he thought dealing with the Blood Lion shouldn’t be an issue.

But to his surprise, the Blood Lion was completely unafraid of the Little White Snake, even raising its foot to step on the little creature as it crawled over.
