336: Chapter 336 Thunder-Leopard

In the northwest of the Eight-Child Secret Realm.

Ye Tian pushed his speed to the limit, a faint sense of anticipation stirring in his heart.

According to the information provided by Jiang Chuxue, the location where the treasure light appeared should be deep within this stone forest.

After traveling for about an hour, Ye Tian suddenly heard the sound of ice crystals shattering ahead, along with the roar of a beast.

Ye Tian approached quietly and hid behind a giant rock.

He saw that in the stone forest ahead, two young women dressed in plain white sword robes with ice lotus patterns embroidered on their cuffs were fighting bitterly, back to back.

Their cultivation was both at the True Martial Sixth Stage, and their sword techniques were quite unique; wherever they passed, frost formed on the ground. This was precisely the exclusive sword technique of the "Cold Silence Valley" in the Northern Ice Plains.

And their opponent was a terrifying Yao Beast that Ye Tian had never seen before!

Its form was roughly that of a leopard, but the bone structure of its head was much heavier. A pair of deep blue beast eyes were cold and cruel, and its mouthparts were not ordinary sharp teeth, but branched, sharp pincers like a scorpion's tail that could shoot forward rapidly.

Its torso was covered in a deep blue, segmented, heavy armor like plate armor, and between the gaps in the armor, violent thunder plasma flowed.

Most peculiar were its feet: the first two pairs of legs were specialized into huge, sharp-edged, paddle-like appendages, which were currently deeply embedded in the ground, clearly granting it terrifying stability and the ability to change direction and slash instantly.

The latter two pairs of legs were closer to the hind legs of a leopard, with bulging muscles full of explosive power.

A long and powerful tail was swinging, and at its tip was a biological electrical organ condensing terrifying high-voltage electric light!

The aura of this strange beast had actually reached the Late Stage of the first level of the Sea Transformation Realm! It far exceeded ordinary third-tier Yao Beasts and was the overlord bred in this Thunder Evil Abyss—the Azure Thunder Plate-Footed Leopard!

At this moment, there was a pool of frozen ice shards on the ground that had been shattered, vaguely the remains of another slightly smaller member of the same species.

But the remaining leader-level Azure Thunder Plate-Footed Leopard had been completely enraged.

"Senior Sister! Its lightning restrains our Cold Ice True Qi! I can barely hold my sword anymore!" Bai Shaoyi shouted anxiously.

Her face was pale, and there was a scorched gash on her shoulder armor, caused by the pincer blade; her hand holding the sword was trembling uncontrollably.

Bai Ling was in a slightly better condition, but blood was still spilling from the corner of her mouth, and her hair bun was disheveled. She swung her sword to parry an incoming electric snake; ice crystals and lightning clashed and vanished together, but she was forced back several steps by the recoil, her breathing in disarray: "Hold on, Shaoyi!

This beast has high intelligence and is exhausting us! Look for an opportunity to use that 'Mysterious Ice Escape Talisman'!"

The Azure Thunder Plate-Footed Leopard roared suddenly, pushed off with its hind legs, and instantly vanished from where it stood!

The next moment, it appeared to the left of Bai Shaoyi, its sharp paddle-like feet sweeping horizontally toward her waist!

"Shaoyi!" Bai Ling's eyes were wide with fury, but she was too late to rescue her.

Despair appeared in Bai Shaoyi's eyes as she struggled to raise her sword to block, but everyone knew that with her heavily injured body and True Martial Sixth Stage cultivation, it was impossible for her to block a single strike from this Sea Transformation Realm Yao Beast.

"Why do I keep running into things like this lately..." Ye Tian, hiding behind the giant rock, smiled helplessly.

He was in a hurry to seize the treasure, but the Cold Silence Valley and the Liuli Xuan Sect were both in the Northern Region, and the two sects had always had a good relationship, often interacting and exchanging. Their Disciples often looked out for each other when they met outside.

He had met these two female Cultivators twice before; although they weren't close, he really couldn't just stand by and watch them die.

"Hum!"

A strange vibration rang out, and a figure instantly blocked the path between Bai Shaoyi and that terrifying paddle-like foot!

The newcomer did not even fully turn around; he simply swung his left arm backward. A small, mysterious black shield appeared on his arm, and it expanded in the wind, transforming into a heavy shield wall the size of a door panel!

black tortoise spirit armor shield!

"Clang!"

The Azure Thunder Plate-Footed Leopard's terrifying strike, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, slammed solidly into the black tortoise spirit armor shield!

The resulting shockwave instantly pulverized several small stone stalagmites nearby into dust!

The mysterious black light on the shield flashed rapidly, and the tortoise shell patterns on its surface flowed wildly, dispersing most of that immense force!

Ye Tian's figure behind the shield was as steady as a rock, though the ground beneath his feet gave a "crack" and sank three inches.

However, the Azure Thunder Plate-Footed Leopard was shaken by the rebound force, its paddle-like feet going slightly numb, and its offensive stalled. For the first time, astonishment appeared in its eyes.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Tian raised his hand and pointed into the air at the deep blue lightning pillar attacking Bai Ling!

The scorching white sword gang collided with the deep blue lightning pillar. The violent lightning turbulence blew Bai Ling away, but this also allowed her to narrowly avoid the direct bombardment of the lightning pillar; though her Qi and blood were churning, she was not injured.

"Senior Brother Ye Tian?!" Bai Ling landed and barely stood steady. Looking at the figure in the green shirt that had suddenly appeared, she was both surprised and happy, almost unable to believe her eyes.

The Azure Thunder Plate-Footed Leopard was completely enraged.

It retracted its slightly numb paddle-like feet, locked its gaze on Ye Tian, and issued a threatening low growl.

Because it felt a threat from this human who had suddenly appeared.

Ye Tian turned around, facing this terrifying Yao Beast, a hint of gravity in his eyes.

He retracted the black tortoise spirit armor shield, which transformed into a bracer attached to his left arm.

"Two Junior Sisters, please step back and adjust your breathing," Ye Tian said.

"Senior Brother Ye, be careful! This beast has infinite strength, hard armor, and fierce lightning. It also possesses scorpion pincer assassinations and long-range electric tail attacks; it has almost no weaknesses!"

Bai Ling hurriedly warned, pulling Bai Shaoyi back behind a giant rock in the distance, where they took Medicinal Pill and nervously watched the battle.

"No weaknesses?" Ye Tian curled his lips, "Then I'll beat them out."

"Roar!"

The Azure Thunder Plate-Footed Leopard attacked first!

It knew that the human in front of it was not simple, so it launched itself again at a terrifying speed, carving a Z-shaped zigzag line in the air, making it difficult for anyone to predict its true landing point.

At the same time, the branched sharp pincers in its mouth shot out suddenly, aiming right at Ye Tian's eyes!

Its tail was also accumulating blinding lightning, ready to strike!

Facing this lightning-fast, three-dimensional offensive, Ye Tian did not dare to be careless. He immediately used all his strength to execute the Taixu Star-Shift Steps, his figure turning into shadows to avoid the two pincer blade assassinations.

But the Azure Thunder Plate-Footed Leopard's pair of sharp paddle-like feet had already crossed and sheared over, and the terrifying lightning strike from its tail was about to erupt!

The combat instincts of this Azure Thunder Plate-Footed Leopard far exceeded those of ordinary Yao Beasts!

Watching the Azure Thunder Plate-Footed Leopard's lightning-fast movements and constantly changing routes, a flash of insight suddenly exploded in Ye Tian's eyes, and he understood something.

He drew sword, stepped out with a new footwork, his figure alternating between real and illusory, lightning flowing, transforming into electric arcs, like a fish swimming in the sea.

He let out a low shout: "Thunder Gang Dream Walk!"

He... had actually comprehended a new movement technique during the battle and observation!

"Swish! Swish!"

The crossed, shearing, paddle-like feet slashed through Ye Tian's lightning shadow, hitting empty air and cutting two deep trenches into the ground.

Meanwhile, Ye Tian's real body had already reached the side and rear of the Azure Thunder Plate-Footed Leopard, and sword stabbed straight into the gaps of its armor!

"Clang!"

The sword tip struck the armor, producing the sound of clashing iron, but it only pierced in half an inch before getting stuck, and the thunder plasma on the armor counterattacked, rushing along the sword!

Ye Tian was secretly shocked and couldn't help but exclaim: "This armor defense is truly monstrous!"

The Azure Thunder Plate-Footed Leopard roared in pain, its tail carrying long-accumulated lightning, lashing fiercely toward Ye Tian!

If this strike landed, even with the black tortoise spirit armor shield, he would inevitably be heavily injured!

Ye Tian pulled back his sword and retreated rapidly, deploying the Thunder Gang Dream Walk movement technique again, just barely avoiding the lightning whip, but the dissipated Lightning Gang still made his Qi and blood surge slightly.

His expression was calm; he knew that ordinary attacks would be difficult to break through the defense, so he had to find a weakness or break it with absolute power!

The battle instantly reached a fever pitch!

Bai Ling and Bai Shaoyi watched with hearts pounding, their palms covered in cold sweat.

They had never seen such a thrilling and spectacular battle.

With his True Martial Tenth Stage Peak cultivation, Ye Tian was going head-to-head with a Sea Transformation Realm Yao Beast and was actually able to hold his own!

"Senior Sister, is Senior Brother Ye... really only at the True Martial Realm?" Bai Shaoyi murmured.

"Judging by Senior Brother Ye's aura, he is indeed at the True Martial Realm. But..."

A brilliant light flickered in Bai Ling's beautiful eyes as she clenched her fists and said: "His strength is probably no longer weaker than a Sea Transformation Realm Cultivator."
