Chapter 18: Beast King: Phantom Wind Lion

In the center of the forest, there was complete silence. There was only a group of people holding golden spears, wearing iron armor, with solemn faces and strict discipline.

“Young master, I acknowledge my guilt! I really didn’t expect that Phantom Wind Lion’s ability to escape. Even though I brought the magic circle back from the main city today, it still escaped.” Three men in black robes knelt in front of a young man. The person who spoke had a hoarse and old voice, and looked terrified.

"Waste, what use are you! It's been seven days since we started hunting the Beast King and we still haven't captured it. If I keep you, will you just confess your crimes?" A young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes, spoke in a cold voice, squinting at the people kneeling on the ground.

“Young Master, please punish us!” The three men in black robes immediately knelt on the ground, trembling in fear.

"I'll give you one more chance to redeem yourself from your crimes. If you still can't catch me, you'll be beheaded. Humph!"

"I obey your command. Thank you, young master!" The three figures scattered instantly.

……

Wang Xiao went deep into the forest and saw many corpses of monsters along the way, all of which died in miserable conditions. So he fully opened up his senses to prevent danger and accidents. If he occasionally encountered a monster, he would quietly pass by to avoid alerting it.

On the way, he found several traces of blood from the same creature, and after tracking them, they disappeared near a pile of boulders. Wang Xiao looked at the stones and found nothing unusual, especially the largest one. The more he stared at it, the more he felt that it was a pure stone.

One step, two steps... Wang Xiao, who had walked away, stepped back again.

"There is a problem, but I can't tell what the problem is..." Wang Xiao touched his chin, and then planned to touch this special boulder with his hand.

"Roar, you dare to bully me, brat who is in the Qi Control Realm?" The boulder suddenly turned into a huge lion, with eyes wide open and a majestic look. It opened its bloody mouth and roared, and several wounds on its body that had just stopped bleeding were ruptured.

The sound wave ripples made Wang Xiao, who had dodged far away, lose consciousness for a moment. Fortunately, his spirit was strong enough, and the lion king's roar did not exert its full power due to his injuries. He woke up in time and successfully avoided the lion king's subsequent attacks.

Unable to achieve his goal in one move, the Lion King turned and left.

It is impolite not to reciprocate. How could Wang Xiao let it go just because it stink? Fearing that he would encounter the enemy of the seriously injured lion king, he followed it slowly along the way, but no matter how hard he tried to shake it off, he couldn't get rid of it.

As a phantom wind lion, he had his own unique way of controlling the wind. The three old guys couldn't catch up with him, but he couldn't get rid of the young boy, which made him very depressed. His already seriously injured body couldn't run for long, so he had to get rid of the follower first and then find a way to avoid the three old scoundrels.

The lion king fell to the ground as if he had lost his footing. A lot of blood was spilled on the ground. He struggled hard to stand up, but failed after trying several times. He just lay there motionless, gasping for breath.

Wang Xiao squatted in the distance and watched quietly.

The lion king didn't move.

Wang Xiao squatted in the distance and watched quietly.

The lion king had no patience to pretend anymore, and turned over and rushed towards Wang Xiao. The lion's roar was of little use to the boy in front of him, and it would easily attract others. It would be better to fight him in a physical fight, tearing him into pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Wang Xiao dodged the attack by moving backwards. He raised his leg, raised his knee, and kicked the lion king in the face. The movements were smooth and flowing, and it was obvious that he had practiced them in his mind many times.

Even the lion king, who was at the Concentrated Spirit Realm, was still dizzy after being kicked. It rolled over, adjusted its posture, and rushed forward again with great momentum. Wang Xiao leaned sideways, pressed his hands on its claws, and then used the momentum to push it back, kicking it in the butt again.

The lion king let out a strange cry and took a deep breath. There was no lion roar, but countless wind blades gathered into a small tornado, filling the space and cutting the surrounding rocks and trees. Wang Xiao, who was at the center of the wind blades, was possessed by the spiritual armor, and then he used the tortoise-shell beast form. The vortex light spots all over his body continuously released compressed spiritual energy to maintain his own defense.

Twenty breaths later, the Lion King's severely injured body could no longer sustain the supply of wind blade spiritual power, and his hind legs softened and he sat on the ground. In the center of the tornado, Wang Xiao's two layers of defensive armor were torn into pieces by the wind blades. His clothes were also cut into long strips, but fortunately he was not injured. He kicked his feet and jumped onto the Lion King's back, raising his fists to hit him.

"Ah, ah, ah! Young man, spare me, young man, spare me!"

Wang Xiao didn't care. He didn't know what it had eaten. It had been a long time since it cleaned its mouth. It almost vomited because of the smell just now.

The lion king lay on the ground with his head in his hands, begging for mercy.

"Young man, we have no deep hatred for each other, please let me go!"

The man behind him didn't react for a long time, but just kept swinging his fists. Fearing that the person who was hunting him would catch up, the lion king made a painful decision.

"Oh, young man, you can ask for any conditions you want!"

Wang Xiao didn't expect it to say that. He put down his waving fist and asked tentatively.

"Oh? I want your lion's roar."

“No…” Seeing Wang Xiao raising his fist, the Lion King had no choice but to lower his head.

"Row."

Through mental communication, the Lion King handed over the core of his unique secret book to the big villain on his body.

The lion king was about to leave dejectedly, but just as he moved his paw, Wang Xiao grabbed his tail.

"What is your method of turning into stone?"

"I..." The situation was stronger than the person, and the lion king smiled and said, "I'm happy to tell you."

Finally, the lion king got away as he wished. It can be seen that his wind-controlling skills made him better at escaping.

He had just made quite a noise, and if the lion king's enemies were still nearby, they would soon be here. As expected, just as Wang Xiao was about to leave, he heard three sounds of breaking wind, and he had no choice but to hide in a tree and restrain all his energy.

Three men in black robes landed here. One of them had a goatee beard. He dipped his hand into the blood on the ground and felt it. He said, "It's the blood of the Phantom Wind Lion. It just fought here, so it can't run far. The other one is the breath of a human, not a monster."

"Huh? How come there are other people here? It would be bad if the key fell into the hands of others." The leader of the three frowned.

"No wonder he was being hunted down. It turns out he has some valuable stuff hidden. He is guilty of possessing a treasure."

Wang Xiao was thinking, the old man with a goatee suddenly frowned, looked at the tree where he was hiding, and said in a deep voice: "Friend, show yourself, hiding is not what a hero does."

Seeing that he was exposed, Wang Xiao walked out generously and hid the various talismans he had received before in his sleeves in case something went wrong.

"Junior has met three seniors."

The three men in black robes looked surprised, wondering why it was a young man.

"Did you hear our conversation just now?"

"Yes, I am a student of Yunshan Academy. When I was returning from a mission, I passed by this place and encountered a monster. I had to fight it desperately. Fortunately, it was seriously injured, so I was able to deal with it. Perhaps it sensed the aura of the three seniors and escaped from me, saving my life."

"So you got nothing?" A man with a fierce face walked forward.

"Well, I have never seen any keys."

"I don't believe it. We can tell whether it's true or not by searching his soul." He said and was about to take action.

Wang Xiao immediately stepped back and took a defensive stance: "You want to humiliate me?"

"What's wrong with insulting you? You're just a brat." The fierce man sneered.

"Don't mess around, third brother. You stay and watch him." The leader warned.

"Although Yunshan Academy has declined, their dean is not someone you will mess with. He is well-known for protecting his protégés. The second brother and I will go track down the whereabouts of the Lion King first." As he said this, he turned and looked at Wang Xiao.

"Before we find out the true situation, please wait here for a while." Only the third man was left among the men in black robes, and the other two continued to track the old man with a goatee beard.

Seeing this, Wang Xiao sat in meditation on the spot, adjusting his breathing and waiting for a chance to escape, while at the same time comprehending the two magic techniques he had obtained from the Lion King.

"You kid are still practicing?" The fierce and impatient third brother paced back and forth, and seeing that Wang Xiao was so calm, he threw all the warnings of the eldest brother behind his back and immediately waved his fist to teach this kid a lesson first.

Wang Xiao clenched his fist and rushed forward. Seeing this, the third brother laughed and said, "You overestimate your own abilities. I will destroy you first!"

"Ah!" The imagined scene did not appear. The third brother covered his arm with his hands in disbelief. He actually had his arm crippled by a single move from a teenager.

Wang Xiao said expressionlessly and calmly: "You don't know your own limitations."

"Ah, I'll kill you!" The third brother was even more stimulated after hearing this. He mobilized all the spiritual energy in his body like crazy to condense a skull. The green light filled his eyes, making him look even more eerie and terrifying.

On the other side, Wang Xiao's eyes were firm and excited, eager to try. His right hand was covered with a layer of green spiritual scales, forming the shape of a dragon claw, and the dragon claw faintly emitted the sound of a dragon's roar. Spiritual armor, beast shapes, and defensive talismans were summoned. Wang Xiao collided with the skull head at a rapid speed like a rocket, and there was a crisp sound of "click". The skull head was covered with cracks with the two claw marks as the center, and turned into spiritual energy and dissipated in the wind.

The irritable third brother fell silent and looked up. Wang Xiao's defense was also broken, and he spit out a large mouthful of blood. Only one dragon claw barely maintained its shape. He didn't even have time to catch his breath and immediately fled to the outskirts of the forest.
