Chapter 45: Spiritual wisdom not yet opened, Exquisite Cold Moon, Ice Extinguishing the Nine Provinces

(The previous chapter has been modified, you can read it again.)

"There really is one."

A flash of joy crossed Meng Zhangqing's eyes.

If it was displayed on the panel, it meant it was within the rules of the system.

It could be added as a friend!

"In this way, couldn't I even obtain the talents of fierce beasts?"

Meng Zhangqing's hands under his sleeves clenched slightly.

Also called talent, the talents of fierce beasts are much stronger than those of humans.

After all, fierce beasts cannot cultivate cultivation techniques.

So all their power is gathered in their talents.

However, wanting to add a fierce beast as a friend is indeed a bit difficult, because they do not have absolute spiritual wisdom.

Or rather, they are not born with spiritual wisdom.

It requires cultivation, and only after their strength reaches a certain stage will it slowly open.

Only then can they be considered wise creatures.

Like this Iron-Armored Flame Lion now, it clearly didn't have much spiritual wisdom, at most a little bit of spirituality.

Basically dominated by instinct.

"Let's try it first."

Meng Zhangqing was eager to try, then he tapped his toes and fell toward the valley.

——

Roar!

Sensing the appearance of a strange aura, the Iron-Armored Flame Lion that was originally sleeping immediately opened its eyes.

In its blood-red eyes, a thick killing intent emerged.

It was the scent that disgusted it!

Or rather, the revulsion from deep within its bloodline!

Human!

The Iron-Armored Flame Lion stood up, its huge body like a small hill, its aura hot and formidable.

So much so that the entire valley became dry and hot.

Seeing this scene, Meng Zhangqing, who had just landed, immediately put away the smile on his face.

He was still preparing to say "Hi."

But looking at the Iron-Armored Flame Lion's appearance, it clearly didn't have any friendly thoughts.

The killing intent and bloodlust in its eyes were almost undisguised.

It was a beast completely dominated by instinct.

"It seems that there is no way for you and me to be friends."

Meng Zhangqing said with some regret, and then drew the long sword at his waist.

A faint sword hum echoed in the valley.

In the secret realm, the number of fierce beasts is not small; if this one doesn't work, he can go find others to see.

Behind the Iron-Armored Flame Lion, there was a very obvious jade platform, and on the jade platform was a medicine bottle.

That was the opportunity placed by the sect.

It looked like it should be an elixir resource.

It's just that he didn't know what kind of elixir it was.

Roar!

The Iron-Armored Flame Lion didn't hesitate at all and ran wildly toward Meng Zhangqing.

Every step it took, the valley seemed to shake.

Dust flew, and hot flames were brewing in the Iron-Armored Flame Lion's mouth, ready to be spewed out at any time. ===== CHAPTER 108 =====

Swish!

Sharp claws swept across, easily shattering several boulders into slag, and there were even deeper claw marks on the ground.

If this landed on an ordinary Aperture Opening cultivator, they would be dead or seriously injured.

Meng Zhangqing used his sword steps and disappeared from the spot; when he reappeared, he was already behind the Iron-Armored Flame Lion.

But the Iron-Armored Flame Lion's reaction was also fast.

Its thick tail swept across like a heavy hammer.

Meng Zhangqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

He took a few steps back, seemingly slow, but actually very fast.

Missing the tail by a hair's breadth.

"As expected of a second-grade peak fierce beast, its strength, speed, and reaction ability are all far beyond those wolf packs from before."

Meng Zhangqing's body was like a fluttering swan, dodging the Iron-Armored Flame Lion's killing moves time and time again.

And among second-grade fierce beasts, this Iron-Armored Flame Lion could be considered a top-tier one.

Not something an ordinary Aperture Opening cultivator of the same level could deal with.

It's just a pity that although it was strong, it didn't make him feel tricky. The reason he didn't kill it immediately was mainly to see the attack methods of these fierce beasts.

After all, he had basically fought humans before.

He rarely fought against fierce beasts.

Roar!

Seeing its attacks miss time and time again, the Iron-Armored Flame Lion became even more irritable, and the flames in its mouth were brewed to the extreme.

It opened its mouth directly at Meng Zhangqing's position!

Flame Breath!

Boom!

Rolling magma poured out like a flood!

Covering the mountains and forests, burning everything, and thick smoke filled the air!

Within a hundred meters, it became a domain of fire!

The Iron-Armored Flame Lion closed its mouth.

Its blood-red eyes scanned the surroundings.

The disgusting aura seemed to have disappeared; it should be dead, right?

But soon.

It looked forward suddenly.

Only to see an ancient tree still standing there.

Cold air filled the surroundings, blocking the flowing magma.

And on the top of the ancient tree, a figure stood.

Holding a long sword.

White clothes like snow, black hair dancing lightly.

It was the human from just now!

He actually didn't die!

Roar!

The Iron-Armored Flame Lion roared again and rushed over.

The scales outside its body quickly turned crimson, exuding an indestructible aura.

Clearly, it had used its second talent, 【Iron Armor】!

"Since we can't be friends, I can only send you to your burial."

Meng Zhangqing whispered.

The test was about enough.

In terms of strength alone, the talents of fierce beasts are indeed terrifying, belonging to those born with them, imprinted in the bloodline.

There is no need to cultivate any cultivation techniques at all.

Once the level is reached, they naturally awaken one by one.

In contrast, humans mostly have a struggle process from nothing to something.

However, every race has an upper and lower limit.

Although the lower limit of fierce beasts is high, their upper limit is clearly not as good as humans.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have failed in the race war in the long years ago.

He calmed his mind.

Meng Zhangqing held the sword hilt with his right hand, held the sword horizontally in front of his eyes, and wiped the sword body with two fingers of his left hand.

At this moment, his originally hot blood instantly became extremely cold!

Vaguely, it even formed the shape of a crescent moon behind him!

"Exquisite Cold Moon Sword Scripture"!

Profound-grade high-tier sword technique!

Although he had obtained it for some time, Meng Zhangqing had never used it.

The reason was simple.

Temporarily, no one could force out this trump card!

The Iron-Armored Flame Lion in front of him was not an ordinary fierce beast; its strength was formidable.

Although he could defeat it just by relying on the "Wind Thunder Sword Technique," after all, there was the bonus of sword intent, but the battle situation would definitely be relatively scorching.

And he was not a person who liked to find trouble for himself.

If it can be solved easily, why fight a fierce battle?

"Exquisite Cold Moon: Ice Extinguishing the Nine Provinces!"

Meng Zhangqing instantly disappeared from the top of the ancient tree and went to meet the Iron-Armored Flame Lion.

His steps changed crazily.

It was the sword step!

At the same time, an incomparably sharp aura surged within his body!

Like a peerless divine sword out of its sheath!

Under various blessings.

The cold air on the sword body became even more intense!

Everywhere he went, there was frost, and even the hot magma was frozen by it!

This sword was Meng Zhangqing's most peak sword at present!

Formidable and peerless!

So much so that even the Iron-Armored Flame Lion felt deep unease and palpitation.

It knew that this sword was not something it could block.

However, the hostility and instinct in its bloodline made it not choose to stop, but instead increased the stimulation of demonic power, constantly improving its defense!

Trying to compete with it!

Boom!

The two finally collided.

The terrifying cold air instantly wrapped around the Iron-Armored Flame Lion.

Its huge body was frozen in place.

This was not simple cold air; its essence was sword qi, incomparably sharp, easily penetrating through the gaps in the scales and entering the body!

Freezing all the internal organs as well!

This was a quite astonishing scene; the Iron-Armored Flame Lion stood in place like an ice sculpture, and the magma in its mouth was still flashing with light.

But the luster in its eyes was gradually dissipating.

Its life was also frozen.

Swish!

Several sword lights flashed, and the Iron-Armored Flame Lion was shattered.

As a second-grade fierce beast, many materials on its body were very valuable. ===== CHAPTER 109 =====
