Chapter 221: Thunder Leopard Marquis Appears, Li Changsheng Is Wary

"Impudent!"

Bao Lei let out an angry roar, and the double blades behind him were directly pulled out by Bao Lei.

The blood-red double blades seemed to be stained with the enemy's blood.

A terrifying surge instantly spread from within Bao Lei's body.

Half-step Flying Heaven Realm!

Bao Yun beside him also took a deep breath, and from his Space Ring took out a Heaven-Opening Axe.

The black armor on his body shimmered with faint light, appearing extremely heavy.

Likewise, the cultivation of Golden Body Realm Perfection burst forth.

Both of them have reached this point with supreme Golden Body.

Although Bao Lei is only at the Half-step Flying Heaven Realm, he can still fight even against an early-stage Flying Heaven Realm expert.

Even someone like Bao Yan, who reached the early-stage Flying Heaven Realm through forbidden drugs, is no match for Bao Lei.

Bao Lei stared fixedly at Su Yu and let out a cold laugh.

"How? Do you think killing a drug‑induced Flying Heaven Realm lets you show off in front of us two?"

"Today I'll let you know how formidable the top three heavenly pride of the Leopard Clan are!"

Bao Lei let out an angry roar.

"Come at me together!"

Having said that, the two instantly turned into streaks of figures, madly rushing toward Su Yu.

Terrifying waves surged instantly between heaven and earth.

Boom—!!!

The sound of breaking air rang continuously, as if a strong force were stirring the surrounding air.

In the midst of the boom, the two figures had already appeared before Su Yu.

Bao Lei's double blades instantly slashed down.

Bao Yun then lifted the huge Heaven-Opening Axe, wrapped with ultimate power, and brought it down.

Madness flickered in both of their eyes.

"Die!"

Bao Lei roared angrily.

Joining forces, their powerful strength could even kill an early-stage Flying Heaven Realm expert.

Even though Su Yu displayed his Arhat Golden Body before them, in their view he was merely a Golden Body Realm expert.

Perhaps Su Yu's strength is great, but to withstand their combined force head‑on is surely fatal.

Boom—!!!

The powerful energy burst forth like a flood of Spiritual Qi, flowing along their Golden Bodies into the blades and axe.

As if trying to exterminate Su Yu.

However, only a clear 'clang' was heard.

A force even more terrifying than theirs burst forth from Su Yu's body.

Behind him, a white‑jade‑colored Golden Body shone with light, like a small sun.

Countless Spiritual Qi surged into Su Yu's arms like galloping horses.

It spread along his arms into the Demon Slayer Blade.

The dark blade aura, mixed with terrifying lightning arcs, even carried a hint of destructive power if sensed carefully.

Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, then he gave a low shout.

"Threefold.... Thunder Demon Slash!"

Boom boom boom!!!

Roaring echoes filled the air as gray dust covered the entire battlefield.

The dark blade aura and domineering lightning arcs kept leaping across the battlefield.

Like ruthless executioners dancing a mad dance of slaughter.

Gradually, the gray dust gradually dispersed.

Revealing the situation on the battlefield.

Bao Lei and Bao Yun's bodies, under that frenzied blade aura, were left in ruins, only two gleaming inner cores remaining, nurturing endless energy, which Su Yu grasped in his hand.

Su Yu glanced indifferently at their corpses, his face showing not the slightest ripple, and walked straight out of the valley.

Still... an instant kill!

Secret Realm, inside a hidden cave.

Su Yu took out all the resources from his Space Ring.

Among them were the Space Rings of Bao Xian'er, Bao Yan, Bao Yun, and Bao Lei.

As the four heavenly pride of the Leopard Clan, their resources were undoubtedly rich.

Furthermore, the resources in the Myriad Races Territory were inherently richer than those of the Human Race, causing the resources in the four's Space Rings to be even richer than those of some Human Race Bright Moon Grand Masters.

Just the Golden Body Realm inner cores alone numbered over thirty in their Space Rings combined.

Even the Flying Heaven Realm inner cores amounted to about ten.

Especially in Bao Xian'er's Space Ring, there were also two low‑grade Star Core Stones!

You should know that such a resource as Star Core Stone, even in Daxia, a Grand Master expert might not necessarily possess one.

After all, they are the offspring of the Thunder Leopard Marquis, yet they could possess such a superb item.

Su Yu swept his gaze over and made a rough calculation.

"Thirty-eight Golden Body Realm inner cores, twelve Flying Heaven Realm ones, two Star Ancestor Master inner cores, two pieces of low-grade Star Stone..."

Su Yu murmured, while a sharp light flickered in his eyes.

"With such resources, I'm even confident I can break through to Great Perfection of the Golden Body Realm!"

Su Yu's breathing grew somewhat rapid, and he immediately opened the Synthesis Slot.

After placing all the resources into the Synthesis Slot.

In the end, he synthesized one Flying Heaven Realm inner core, one Star Ancestor Master inner core, four Great Sun Grand Master inner cores, and one mid-grade Star Stone.

As for why he didn't synthesize the Great Sun Grand Master inner cores into Marquis, or even King-Marquis inner cores.

It was simply that with Su Yu's current cultivation, he couldn't withstand them at all.

Unlike King-Marquis essence blood, the energy within King-Marquis essence blood was only equivalent to the amount of a Great Sun Grand Master inner core.

But if it were an inner core, then it would be dozens of times more terrifying.

Su Yu even had some difficulty fusing King-Marquis essence blood, let alone Marquis or even King-Marquis inner cores.

Su Yu still had self-awareness.

Looking at the resources in his hand, the corners of Su Yu's lips curled into a slight smile.

In his heart, he already had a plan!

After giving the Flying Heaven Realm inner core to the Little Azure Dragon, Su Yu directly consumed the Star Ancestor Master inner core.

Energy exploded within his body, transforming into surging currents that flowed through his four limbs and hundred bones.

There were even rumbling sounds that constantly echoed.

Rumble—!!!

Behind Su Yu, an Arhat Golden Body slowly materialized, and all the Spiritual Qi within a radius of several kilometers actually converged toward behind Su Yu.

It transformed into miniature Spiritual Qi storms, drawing the energy of heaven and earth into Su Yu's body.

This time...

Su Yu was going to break through!

At the same time, outside the secret realm.

The Great Protector stood quietly above the nine heavens, waiting for the secret realm to open.

The Leopard Clan secret realm was something left behind by the ancestor of the Leopard Clan; it opened once every few years, each time in a different location within Leopard Clan territory, and this time it happened to appear near Leopard City.

With Luo Hou in seclusion, the duty of guarding the secret realm fell upon the Great Protector.

The Great Protector's eyelids drooped low, as if he would fall asleep the next moment.

Suddenly, the Great Protector violently opened his eyes, and within his gaze it was as though thunder crackled; he abruptly looked toward a spot in space, and on the old man's weathered face, a look of utmost solemnity filled his features.

Then, the Great Protector slowly bowed toward the void.

"Bao Lie, under Lord Luo Hou's command, greets Marquis Thunder Leopard!"

As soon as these words came out, many Leopard Clan experts waiting nearby all had their expressions change drastically, looking toward that spot in the void.

The void slowly tore open, and a burly figure walked out.

It was a body a full two to three meters in size; merely stepping out gave people an extremely terrifying feeling.

The moment this person appeared, many people's breathing grew rapid.

Even experts below the Grand Master realm felt their breathing become incomparably difficult, as if an invisible large hand was gripping their throats.

Extremely uncomfortable!

"We greet Marquis Thunder Leopard!"

One Leopard Clan expert after another knelt on the ground, devoutly bowing.

From within the void, a figure resembling an old woman hurriedly walked out, coming to Marquis Thunder Leopard's side, and said excitedly.

"Bao Feng greets Marquis Thunder Leopard!"

This person was none other than the Dao-protector beside Bao Xian'er — Granny Wind.

She possessed the realm of Great Sun Grand Master.

When Bao Lie saw Bao Feng, a flash of sharp light passed through his turbid eyes.

In the entire gathering, only Bao Lie did not kneel.

He was the foremost person under Lord Luo Hou's command; he could bow to Luo Hou, and he could bow to the Leopard King.

As for Marquis Thunder Leopard, he did not need to bow!

Because standing behind him was Luo Hou, one of the three Marquises of the Leopard Clan!

Marquis Thunder Leopard stood above the nine heavens, where dark clouds gathered, and thunder dragons rolled and leaped within the pitch-black clouds.

Letting out roar after roar.

Marquis Thunder Leopard's gaze fell upon the gateway of the Altar, and his voice, like rolling thunder, rang out.

"How many days has the secret realm been open?"

Bao Lie said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Reporting to Marquis Thunder Leopard, the ruins have already been open for two days!"

"Two days, huh..." Light flickered in Marquis Thunder Leopard's eyes, and his mouth opened slightly, as if murmuring, "Only one day's time left!"

He was somewhat puzzled.

Bao Xian'er clearly had her own map, and by all logic should only need one day at most to reach the Star Vein.

Moreover, Bao Xian'er had been taught from childhood under his guidance to conceal her cultivation; in this secret realm, with her Nine-Turn Immaculate Golden Body cultivation, unless she encountered a joint attack from Bao Yun and Bao Lei, no one would be Bao Xian'er's opponent.

Yet even so, two days had passed, and there was still no news from Bao Xian'er's side.

This made Marquis Thunder Leopard somewhat perplexed, and even a trace of unease rose in his heart.

The matter of the Star Essence was known not only to Marquis Thunder Leopard, but also to the other two Marquises of the Leopard Clan.

He even suspected that the Leopard King also knew about this matter.

However, the Leopard King didn't bother to show it.

In order to break through to Marquis himself, the Thunder Leopard Marquis no longer bothered with so many concerns and directly appeared here.

As for whatever reaction the Leopard King might have, the Thunder Leopard Marquis couldn't care less.

He had waited for this opportunity far too long; he didn't want to keep being suppressed under the Leopard King, and he also wanted to give it a shot!

At this moment, high above the distant void, Li Zhangsheng suddenly sobered up from his drunkenness, his gaze landing on the Thunder Leopard Marquis, and his expression instantly changed drastically.

"Damn it, how did this guy get here!"

Li Zhangsheng's face was extremely solemn.

If it were just an ordinary Marquis-level Expert, I could still suppress him, but the Thunder Leopard Marquis before me is no ordinary Marquis-level Expert.

Even among all Marquis-level Experts, the Thunder Leopard Marquis could rank among the top.

Such an expert is beyond Li Zhangsheng's ability to suppress.

Instead, whether he can survive the Thunder Leopard Marquis's hands is itself a question.

An invincible Grand Master is strong, capable of overcoming Marquis-level Experts, but it also depends on which Marquis it is.

A Marquis-level Expert like the Thunder Leopard Marquis, who is at the peak of Marquis and has even stepped half a foot into the Prince realm, is not something an invincible Grand Master can match.

Li Zhangsheng's heart felt somewhat confused.

"As expected, for the Stellar Origin Liquid, the Thunder Leopard Marquis has even shown up in person."

Li Zhangsheng's inner thoughts instantly fell into chaos.

"What should we do now? If the Thunder Leopard Marquis makes a move, not only will I perish here, but Su Yu will fall as well."

Li Zhangsheng gritted his teeth, a flash of ruthlessness crossing his face.

"At worst, when the Secret Realm opens tomorrow, I will directly expose my aura—I don't believe the Thunder Leopard Marquis won't be attracted!"

Li Zhangsheng made up his mind.

Su Yu's methods are strong, but they can't fool a Marquis-level Expert; the only way is for me to lure away the Thunder Leopard Marquis.

That way, Su Yu will have a chance to leave the Leopard Clan's territory calmly.

Although he is no match for the Thunder Leopard Marquis, Li Zhangsheng still has confidence in surviving.

After all, being ranked second on the Human Race Grand Master list is no empty claim.

Li Zhangsheng took a deep breath, dared not continue drinking, hid among the clouds, and waited quietly.

Meanwhile, the Thunder Leopard Marquis's brows furrowed slightly.

"Huh?"

The Thunder Leopard Marquis's gaze swept toward Li Zhangsheng's position, but he found nothing.

Just a moment ago, he felt a gaze fixed upon him.

Although there were many people here, that gaze just now was special, as if filled with panic and apprehension.

There was even a hint of killing intent.

As a Marquis-level Expert, he still possesses such perceptive ability.

But after a glance, he found nothing.

"Could it be that I'm just too nervous and imagining things?"

The Thunder Leopard Marquis thought to himself.

The Thunder Leopard Marquis didn't mind it; in the Leopard Clan, aside from the Leopard King who could suppress him, even Marquis Luo might not be his match.

Being second in the Leopard Clan is no idle boast.

The Thunder Leopard Marquis stood silently above the nine heavens, waiting for the Secret Realm to open.

Although he felt somewhat uneasy, Leopard Fairy had not sent any word, and he dared not intervene lightly.

He was certain that if he forcibly intervened, the Leopard King would surely act, and then whether he could obtain the Stellar Origin Liquid would become a question.

Suppressing his inner agitation, the Thunder Leopard Marquis sat cross-legged above the nine heavens, bathed in thunder.

Waiting for the Secret Realm to open.

As time passed, two and a half days had already elapsed within the Secret Realm.

In the cave where Su Yu hid, there was an immensely terrifying power that seemed to be constantly gestating, distorting the surrounding space.

Su Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, his body surging with a violent aura that raged incessantly.

The next moment, Su Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

A gleam of light flashed across his eyes.

Boom—!!!

A roaring explosion erupted, as if a terrifying torrent surged within Su Yu's body, releasing dreadful power.

In an instant, the Arhat Golden Body suddenly expanded, white jade-colored radiance shimmering with scorching radiance, like a small sun.

Instantly, the Arhat Golden Body swelled, its white jade‑colored radiance flashing with scorching light, like a miniature sun.

He had broken through!
