Chapter 241: The Right to Priority in Choosing Treasures (Second Update)

Before the Savage Winged Tiger could accelerate, the Fire Phoenix shook its entire body, a massive burst of flames suddenly erupting from its surface as it launched a charge.

Propelled by the flames, the Fire Phoenix's speed increased significantly as it collided head-on with the Savage Winged Tiger.

At the same time, Kailan, standing on the Fire Phoenix, wore a solemn expression; her hands condensed a rich green orb of light, and under her precise control, the orb instantly transformed into the shape of a leaf, slashing through the air toward Lin Yaodong, who was being clutched by the Savage Winged Tiger.

Kailan had an extremely strong ability to learn and had long since grown accustomed to Li Zhangsheng's combat style: capture the ringleader first; as long as Lin Yaodong was taken out, the Savage Winged Tiger would collapse on its own.

Originally, the Savage Winged Tiger had intended to withstand the Fire Phoenix's charge head-on, but with Kailan attacking Lin Yaodong, its momentum slowed slightly, and a thick layer of cyan light screen expanded, enveloping both it and Lin Yaodong within.

Boom— Boom—

Whether it was the Fire Phoenix crashing into the cyan light screen or Kailan's Leaf Blade Slash landing upon it, the screen merely rippled with faint wisps, showing no signs of shattering at all.

Although Kailan and the Fire Phoenix were of higher quality, the Savage Winged Tiger's cultivation realm and racial advantage were far too great, clearly surpassing them by a wide margin in terms of ability.

Unfortunately, the Savage Winged Tiger belonged to a lone force, while Kailan and the Fire Phoenix had plenty of reinforcements.

The opportunity was fleeting; being obstructed by Li Zhangsheng's two Demon Pets directly caused the Savage Winged Tiger to lose the best chance to escape.

At this moment, the Imperial Griffin appeared in the air before the Savage Winged Tiger, its claws raised fiercely; its target was not the Savage Winged Tiger, but the unconscious Lin Yaodong.

Pop—

At the moment of contact, the cyan light screen on the Savage Winged Tiger's body shattered; compared to the Leader-level Superior Quality Imperial Griffin, the Savage Winged Tiger was undoubtedly inferior.

Due to its desperate desire to save its master, the Savage Winged Tiger had no choice but to shift Lin Yaodong to another direction, but the consequence of this was that the Imperial Griffin's sharp claws slashed fiercely into its soft abdomen.

Splash—

How sharp were the Imperial Griffin's claws? With this single stroke, the skin and flesh of the Savage Winged Tiger's abdomen were torn open, leaving several deep claw marks, and one could even faintly see its internal organs.

Roar—

The Savage Winged Tiger let out a painful roar, its massive body beginning to fall, yet it never let go of Lin Yaodong.

If Lin Yaodong died, the Savage Winged Tiger would not fare much better; furthermore, after decades of living together day and night, they had grown accustomed to each other's existence, and their bond had surpassed friendship, closer than kin!

"Fire Phoenix, Dragon Breath!" At this moment, Kailan issued the command.

The Fire Phoenix did not disobey, nor did it dare to; among all of Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets, Kailan was absolutely the most special existence, and it knew very clearly that if it disobeyed Kailan's order, it would definitely die a miserable death.

Chirp—

Accompanied by a shrill cry, the Fire Phoenix opened its sharp Bird Beak, and countless fire-red light spots instantly converged, spraying a Flame Pillar as thick as a water barrel from its mouth, shooting straight toward the falling Savage Winged Tiger.

At the same time, the Imperial Griffin condensed countless foot-long Wind Blades, spinning at high speed as they rushed toward the Savage Winged Tiger.

Before hitting the ground, the Savage Winged Tiger flapped its wings with all its might, barely neutralizing the impact, but when it saw the descending Flame Pillar and countless Wind Blades, despair appeared in its eyes.

The Savage Winged Tiger lowered its head to look at Lin Yaodong, then resolutely pressed Lin Yaodong beneath its body, using its own flesh to block the Dragon Breath and Wind Blades.

Flames erupted, the intense high temperature scorching the Savage Winged Tiger's massive body; endless Wind Blades cut into the Savage Winged Tiger, carving out one wound after another, giving the impression of being sliced to death, yet it still did not move its body away.

Roar—

Once all the attacks vanished, the Savage Winged Tiger could no longer hold on and collapsed heavily to the ground; it looked longingly at Lin Yaodong, discovering that Lin Yaodong was slowly opening his eyes at this moment, looking back at it as well.

Roar—

The Savage Winged Tiger let out a final roar toward Lin Yaodong, as if saying, "Master, I am going first," then its head tilted to the side, and it breathed its last.

"Old partner, wait for me!"

Lin Yaodong's face was streaked with tears; enduring immense pain, his trembling right hand stroked the Savage Winged Tiger's head, his gaze never once moving away.

Before 'departing', scenes from the past flashed by like fleeting shadows; Lin Yaodong thought of his past, thought of the decisiveness and ruthlessness when he ambushed Li Yi and Li Luohe, but he never regretted it, because their stances were different, and the hatred accumulated over the years between the Li Clan and the Lin Clan could no longer be resolved; one family had to decline or even perish.

Soon, Lin Yaodong lost his final vital signs!

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng and the others finally arrived here; they did not see the scene of Lin Yaodong and the Savage Winged Tiger's life-and-death parting, only excitement.

"Forget it, I'll leave you a whole corpse!" Li Wenbo looked at Lin Yaodong's body; Lin Yaodong had fought with his father, Li Xinming, for decades, yet he never expected that he would end up dying at their hands.

This battle ended in a total victory for the Li Clan!

The entire Lin Clan only had two Fourth Rank experts!

The other three Clan Elders were one thing; their vacancies could be filled given time, but the Great Clan Elder Lin Yaodong was different; the entire Lin Clan only had two Fourth-rank Demon Tamers, and losing one meant that for a very long time in the future, the Lin Clan would only have one Fourth Rank expert holding the fort; it could be completely described as suffering a severe blow to their vitality.

After the dust settled, everyone began to collect the spoils of war.

With the status of the four, they naturally all possessed Space Rings, which were also the bulk of the spoils.

However, the corpses of the numerous Demon Pets were also of high value, with the Light Ancestor Bird and the Savage Winged Tiger being the most prominent; the former had the highest cultivation realm, while the latter possessed the rare White Tiger Bloodline.

"Lin Tao was taken down by Changsheng's own efforts, so his Space Ring and the corpses of his Demon Pets all belong to Changsheng; does everyone have any objections?"

Immediately, Li Wenbo picked up Lin Tao's Space Ring.

"None!"

"What objections could there be!"

The two Clan Elders waved their hands, looking as if it should be that way.

"Then I shall not decline!" Li Zhangsheng politely put away the Space Ring.

"The other three were taken down by everyone's efforts, so it is hard to distribute!"

"Clan Leader, why not have the three of you take one each; I only want the corpses of the Light Ancestor Bird and the Savage Winged Tiger!"

Although he only had the Book of Bloodlines Part Two, it did not mean Li Zhangsheng was unable to purify bloodlines, it was just that without the first half, the efficiency of purification was not high.

Li Wenbo kept a straight face and said in a tone that brooked no refusal: "No! If this gets out, where would we hide our old faces! How about this: besides their corpses, you will also take a share of the Soul Crystals from the three rings, and in addition, I will give you the right to have priority in choosing one treasure; let it be decided this way!"
