Chapter 6: Mountain Valkyrie

The third eye in Li Li Boyang's brow possessed the combined effects of the Thousand-Mile Eye and the X-ray Eye.

Thus, although the raccoon cat ran with great speed, Li Li Boyang's gaze remained fixed upon it.

During this process, the raccoon cat also seemed to detect Li Li Boyang's spying, yet showed no intention of turning back.

Leaping over eaves, scaling fences, wading through muddy paths, entering the mountain forest...

The raccoon cat soon reached the depths of the mountain forest.

There stood a straight peak shrouded in clouds and mist, its height piercing the sky.

And upon the cliff face of that peak, statues of grotesque and terrifying ghost gods were clearly visible, covering almost the entire cliff.

However, what truly drew attention was the majestic Mountain God Temple standing high on the mountainside.

Even though it was dilapidated, even though it had gone unswept for years...

that Mountain God Temple still exuded a sense of grandeur; one could easily imagine how magnificent it had been in its prime.

【Is there such a place nearby?】

Just as Li Li Boyang was puzzled, the raccoon cat had already climbed the ancient stone steps step by step, arriving at the entrance of the main hall of the Mountain God Temple.

"Sister, I have come to see you again."

Its body rapidly swelled, and its claws and fangs were bared.

In an instant, the raccoon cat transformed into an adult red leopard, with faint fire clouds subtly rising beneath its feet.

Creak...

Pushing open the temple door, the first thing that came into view was that towering statue.

Unlike this dilapidated and old Mountain God Temple.

that giant statue was clean as new, obviously tended to by someone year after year.

Furthermore, the appearance of this statue differed from that of ordinary Mountain Gods; it did not display any grotesque or majestic form.

It was a goddess whose brow radiated compassion.

She held a sword in her right hand and a book in her left, her long skirt covering armor.

Seen from afar, this statue enshrined upon the altar possessed both the gentleness of a civil deity and the domineering aura of a martial deity.

And at the feet of this goddess, a snarling red leopard clay sculpture lay prostrate.

That clay sculpture was none other than the Mountain Ghost, Xi Luo, the Mountain God governing this mountain forest.

"Mountain Ghost!"

"You finally show yourself!"

Just then, a roar suddenly echoed from the forest below the Mountain God Temple.

The next second, a massive, grotesque two-headed dragon-bird flew out from the forest.

It was a bird-like monster with two dragon heads and a pair of white fleshy wings spread wide.

Those two dragon heads were intertwined; one breathed fire, the other breathed ice, and its entire body radiated a bizarre and gloomy aura of death.

"I have been searching for you for a long time!"

"As long as you hand over that woman's corpse, I will consider sparing your life!"

The two dragon heads spoke in turn, yet displayed remarkable coordination.

For they were originally a single entity with two births, a god of calamity capable of bringing disaster and ill omen to the human world.

"Ru Fu, you are too shameful!"

"If you had not knelt and begged bitterly back then, how could Sister have spared your life?"

"Now that Sister has perished, you still wish to desecrate her corpse; this is simply unforgivable!"

Stepping on fire clouds, Xi Luo burst out of the Mountain God Temple, appearing exceptionally furious in her red leopard form.

"Fearing death and seeking life is merely the instinct of all living beings!"

"On the contrary, you, a scoundrel, abandoned your rightful position as Mountain God and willingly became someone else's pet!"

Her words revealed deep contempt; Ru Fu truly looked down on Xi Luo.

Gods are existences that transcend all living beings, born untamed and rebellious.

Even though suppressed and sealed by that woman for a thousand years, with strength weakened to the extreme, Ru Fu still believed he had never truly submitted.

In contrast, the raccoon cat on the opposite side had first usurped his position as Mountain God, then willingly degenerated into that woman's pet, utterly shaming the dignity of gods.

"Enough nonsense!"

"Let us see if, after being sealed for a thousand years, you still have the qualification to speak such big words."

Riding the fire clouds, Xi Luo charged at Ru Fu, revealing her ferocious side as the Mountain Ghost in that moment.

Claws and fangs bared, firelight soaring into the sky...

Under the cover of the fire clouds, Xi Luo's form approached Ru Fu swiftly like a phantom.

Seeing this, Ru Fu likewise retaliated by breathing fire and ice, and did not forget to mock his opponent with words.

"I was indeed sealed for a thousand years, but what about you?"

"Since that woman died, no one has visited this Mountain God Temple for hundreds of years; how much power can you possibly have left?"

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The red leopard riding the clouds, the dragon-bird devouring ice and fire.

The battle between the two sides was magnificent and perilous.

Even as a mere bystander, Li Li Boyang felt a chill of terror.

Since his transmigration and rebirth, this was the first time Li Li Boyang had witnessed such a battle between divine monsters.

Lacking any concrete reference standard, Li Li Boyang could only compare it to the modern weapons of his past life.

The dragon-bird breathing ice and fire was clearly a strategic-level large-scale weapon of mass destruction.

Every time it breathed fire and ice, it caused devastating destruction to the mountains and forests for several kilometers around.

The billowing thick smoke and raging flames were clearly visible even to ordinary villagers.

In comparison, the red leopard treading on fiery clouds was clearly following the path of an "assassin."

Just like special operations elite soldiers in modern warfare.

Although her destruction of the environment was not as great as that of the dragon-bird, every strike she made was inevitably a fatal killing move.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In just a few exchanges, several visible wounds appeared on the dragon-bird's body.

At this moment, the dragon-bird's size advantage became apparent.

Although those wounds looked terrifying, they could not inflict any substantial fatal damage upon It.

In contrast, the red leopard dared not let the dragon-bird's attacks touch her at all.

After all, given her current physique, if she were hit by the dragon-bird's attack, she probably wouldn't even leave a complete corpse behind.

【Her margin for error is too low...】

As this thought flashed through his mind, Li Li Boyang immediately understood.

That bird-dragon could endure countless failures; it would have no effect on the outcome of the entire battle.

But if the red leopard failed even once, the battle would be over.

Li Li Boyang certainly did not want to watch Xi Luo die like this, so he had to find a way to lend her a hand.

【So what should I do?】

As he pondered thus, Li Li Boyang's crimson hair unexpectedly began to emit real flames without him noticing.

The red hair turned into fire, and those fragmented memories from the past surged back into his heart.

After being forged into a sword pill by that strange old man, had he not once fought desperately?

Although the memory of that battle was long since shattered, the experience of that combat was deeply imprinted within the sword pill.

—A sacred being born with knowledge, a sword heart naturally enlightened.

In a trance, a pale protective sword qi surfaced on Li Li Boyang's body.

The sharp sword light was also restless, just like the sword qi that had slain the earth beetle that day.

【No, this is still far from enough...】

At this very moment, Li Li Boyang was simply too far away from the battlefield.

To expect those sword qi to cross more than ten kilometers to kill enemies was sheer fantasy.

【If the sword qi is insufficient, then what about the sword pill?】

Sinking his consciousness into his body, Li Li Boyang's gaze lingered for a long time on the golden sword pill within his dantian.

Li Li Boyang's intuition told him that he was not without means to interfere with that battle more than ten kilometers away.
