Seven-star Sword Master

Under the paulownia tree, the tense atmosphere continued.

Even though half a day had passed and there was no sign of anything unusual, Lu Feipeng and the others did not let down their guard at all.

His eyes swept back and forth across the rice fields again and again.

They arrived at the base at the end of the Mao hour, which was about six or seven in the morning.

During this period, Captain Chen and Captain Wang came to patrol almost once every hour.

At noon, Li Mingshan touched his bulging belly, turned his head and said to Lu Feipeng:

"It's almost noon, but I don't feel hungry yet. Are you hungry, Fei Peng?"

Lu Feipeng also touched his belly and shook his head slightly at Li Mingshan.

"Brother Mingshan, I feel the same way."

In this tense atmosphere, Li Mingshan couldn't help but joked:

"Ah, I never thought that such frequent patrols would consume so much energy."

Lu Feipeng also smiled when he heard it.

"This isn't a good idea. We're about to have lunch, and the sun is shining brightly. How about we take a walk around the rice fields?"

Lu Feipeng thought about it and decided that since the situation was unclear, it would be better not to run around or move around, so he politely refused:

"Brother Mingshan, this is an extraordinary period. In my opinion, we should stay here and wait for the next shift in peace and quiet."

Li Mingshan looked at the rice fields:

"It should be okay, after all, so much time has passed, right?

We are just going to take a long walk around the periphery so that we can report back to our superiors.

And as long as we stay in the open we'll be fine."

Having said this, Lu Feipeng felt embarrassed to refuse.

After all, he would still need Li Mingshan to teach him patrolling experience in the future.

However, this guy also has the confidence to deal with danger, and he is not afraid even if he really encounters a monster.

After all, his level of spiritual induction is not just for show.

So Lu Feipeng nodded and said:

"Okay, let's listen to Brother Mingshan and take a walk around the periphery."

When the voice said "far outside", it was obvious that there was some emphasis on these words.

This is also a reminder to Li Mingshan that he only accepts patrolling the periphery.

Just kidding, it is true that he has the ability to attract spirits, but he will not put himself in danger.

"Hahaha…"

Li Mingshan looked at Lu Feipeng and said with a smile:

"Don't worry Fei Peng, I definitely value my life more than you do. We just need to patrol the perimeter."

Then Li Mingshan raised the sword in his hand and said:

"I'll clear the way."

The two of them walked around the perimeter of the rice field and indeed did not find anything unusual.

Little did they know that not long after they left, a golden figure suddenly rushed out from the rice field and quickly disappeared.

After patrolling around the rice field, the two returned to the paulownia tree again.

"Okay, today's mission is completed. Let's wait here until the end of the afternoon."

As he spoke, Li Mingshan took out some dry food from his arms.

Lu Feipeng shook his head and didn't care about what Li Mingshan said.

He just felt that Li Mingshan was indeed a little lax this time.

At such a tense moment, knowing that there was danger, he still chose to risk his life to patrol.

Lu Feipeng really didn't know whether to say he was dedicated or ignorant.

To be honest, if this guy had not already reached the first level of spirit induction, he would never have risked his life to accompany Li Mingshan in taking risks.

Lu Feipeng looked at Li Mingshan who had just taken out the dry food and said:

Brother Mingshan, I will be the one to warn you, so eat first. When you are done, come and take my place."

"Okay, Fei Peng, you are quite cautious. I will eat first, and I will take your turn after I finish."

After saying this, Li Mingshan leaned against the sycamore tree, opened the wrapping cloth and started chewing the dry food.

The two people's attention has always been on the rice fields in the distance.

But what they didn't realize was that danger was only a hair's breadth away from them.

Right on the branch of the paulownia tree, there was a leopard lying there, staring at them greedily.

The leopard's eyes were fierce and saliva was dripping from the corners of its mouth.

"Clap!"

As luck would have it, a drop of saliva fell on Li Mingshan's dry food, making a crisp sound.

In such a tense atmosphere, the sudden sound of dripping water can really make people feel creepy.

"what?"

Lu Feipeng, who was on guard around, moved his ears slightly. He immediately picked up his knife and turned to look at Li Mingshan who made the sound.

Li Mingshan pointed at the dry food and said to Lu Feipeng:

"It shouldn't be like this. How can there be raindrops falling in such a bright sun?"

Before he could finish his words, Li Mingshan's face suddenly froze and he quickly became frightened. He raised his head and looked at Lu Feipeng.

At this moment, both of them could see a trace of panic and fear in each other's eyes, and they seemed to be saying to each other:

"No way?"

Then the two of them shifted their gaze upwards and quickly looked towards the paulownia tree.

Just with this one glance, a figure appeared on the tree that Li Mingshan would never forget for the rest of his life.

Because in Li Mingshan's eyes, a golden figure, like a tiger descending from the mountain, suddenly rushed down from the tree towards him.

"Roar…"

The roar of an animal seemed to strike his heart directly, causing his body to tremble unconsciously.

At this moment his mind was blank and he had no time to think of anything.

It was as if a voice sounded in Li Mingshan's mind:

"My life is over!"

"run!"

At this time, Lu Feipeng, who was standing aside, had no time to do anything. All he could do was say the word "run" to Li Mingshan.

But it's of no avail.

It wasn't that he reminded her too late, but that the distance between them was too close.

The speed of the leopard was so fast that Li Mingshan only saw a golden shadow flash by.

In this situation, let alone Li Mingshan, even if it was Lu Feipeng, a cultivator at the first level of Spirit Induction.

If Lu Feipeng were in the situation, he might not be able to respond in such a short time.

The leopard flew past and bit Li Mingshan's left arm with its bloody mouth.

With its four claws, it kicked the tree trunk, and with a "ripping" sound, the leopard was three feet away.

"what!"

At the same time, Li Mingshan let out a terrible scream.

The moment the leopard passed by him, his left arm was torn off by the leopard.

The blood sprayed directly onto the paulownia tree nearby.

Li Mingshan fell to the ground in pain, covering the wound on his left arm with his only remaining right hand.

He clenched his teeth tightly, rolled back and forth on the ground in pain, and kept making bursts of hissing sounds from his mouth.

Lu Feipeng, who was standing by, reacted as soon as he spotted the leopard. He quickly pounced to the front right.

The situation was so urgent that Lu Feipeng didn't even have time to use his spiritual power.

He was so anxious that he had to rely on his body's subconscious instinctive reaction to avoid danger.

After rolling on the ground to avoid danger, Lu Feipeng quickly stood up.

He clenched the black iron knife in both hands and vigilantly confronted the location of the leopard.

Only then did he see that the golden figure was actually a leopard about two meters long, and a hint of brief surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Leopard!"

Lu Feipeng looked at the monster a few feet away from him, with an arm in its mouth, and murmured to himself.

The leopard opposite Lu Feipeng was no longer as relaxed as before.

Because it sensed a dangerous aura in Lu Feipeng's body.

Although the monsters in the Spirit Induction Realm cannot speak at this time, monsters of this level of cultivation have already awakened their spiritual intelligence.

It knew that the young two-legged beast opposite it might be its strong rival.

It spat the arm it had just obtained from its mouth onto the ground, and then it was time for it to try its best.

"Roar!"

While confronting the golden leopard, Lu Feipeng glanced at Li Mingshan from the corner of his eye.

He breathed a sigh of relief after finding out that he had only lost an arm and was not in danger of life.

Next, he would concentrate all his efforts on attacking the golden leopard and would have no time to care about Li Mingshan.

As for whether he can survive, it all depends on his luck.

After all, the leopard in front of him was a monster of gigantic size and known for its speed.

"Send a signal if you want to survive!"

A loud shout came from Lu Feipeng's mouth.

At this moment, he didn't dare to be distracted at all. He didn't know whether Li Mingshan could still send out the flare, but this was all he could do at the moment.

"Roar!"

After hearing the angry roar from the two-legged beast on the opposite side, the leopard was so frightened that it jumped back another two meters.

But when it saw that the two-legged beast on the opposite side did not attack it, it knew that it had been tricked, and the leopard became even more angry.

Considering that it is the king among monsters, it has been wearing a golden coat since birth that others envy. When has it ever suffered such injustice?

"Roar…"

The leopard roared towards the sky and rushed straight towards Lu Feipeng.

Lu Feipeng knew that the bravest of two would win when two meet on a narrow road, so he also shouted angrily to the sky:

"kill!"

Afterwards, Lu Feipeng did not retreat but advanced, and rushed straight towards the attack of the golden leopard.

"Roar…"

The leopard roared angrily again, opened its bloody mouth and bit Lu Feipeng's head.

He wanted to let the tiny two-legged beast in front of him know that he, the leopard, was not someone that anyone could mess with.

"Humph!"

At this moment, Lu Feipeng became even calmer and more composed.

Just when the leopard was about to pounce on him, Lu Feipeng immediately stopped rushing forward.

At this time, the advantages of the black iron knife came into play.

Lu Feipeng leaned back, and supported his body with the black iron knife in his right hand directly on the ground, while his left hand reached back to grab the handle of the knife to form a two-handed holding posture.

The leopard watched itself fly over Lu Feipeng's head.

However, under the astonished gaze of the leopard, Lu Feipeng immediately circulated his spiritual power, added it to his legs, and directly did an upside-down hook, and kicked the leopard's abdomen viciously with his feet.

"Crack..."

A sound of bone breaking was heard.

The leopard, which was still in mid-air, was kicked directly into the sky by Lu Feipeng.

"Ouch..."

The pain from the broken bones in the hind legs made the leopard scream in mid-air.

"what!"

Then Lu Feipeng took advantage of the situation and shouted loudly. He pushed the hilt of the knife with both hands, and his body spiraled up into the sky like a 360-degree spinning top.

As the body rotates, the black iron knife will draw a circle in the air from time to time.

Under the sunlight, the blade continuously emits rays of light that refract in all directions.

"kill!"

Lu Feipeng, who had flown into the air, roared again and mobilized all his spiritual power. He swung the black iron knife in his hand and chopped it straight down at the leopard's head.

"Ouch..."

The leopard let out a wail, and with a look of despair, it looked at the black iron knife chopping towards its head with great despair.

"Ow..."

The leopard let out one last wail, and then its entire head was split in half by the black iron knife.

"boom…"

“Ouch, that hurts!”

Lu Feipeng lost his balance and fell to the ground, letting out a scream.

Then there were the sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground with "bangs".

Lu Feipeng quickly grabbed the black iron knife and climbed up from the ground. When his eyes fell on the dead leopard, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It happened in a flash. The whole series of actions, from Lu Feipeng’s confrontation with the golden leopard to the leopard’s fall, took less than two breaths of time.
