612: Chapter 612 The Crimson Flame Lion Falls!

"Could it be that Young Master Qin Yan's Body Refining Cultivation Technique is powerful, but his Qi Refining Cultivation Technique is only average?"

Everyone speculated.

What they didn't know was that in the Five Elements Primordial Scripture Qin Yan Cultivated, the Spirit Beast Phantom wasn't just one wondrous tree, but five!

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—five wondrous trees, each with its own merits.

The Golden Element Wondrous Tree was only one of them.

One-fifth of the power was naturally inferior to Jiang Yunyan's complete Spirit Beast Phantom.

But if all five wondrous trees were gathered and the Five Elements became one—

That power would far exceed Jiang Yunyan's Empty Bright Spirit Sword!

On the battlefield, Qin Yan thrust his spear, the tip carving a long wound on the Crimson Flame Magic Lion's body, extending from the shoulder blade all the way to the abdomen. Blood sprayed out wildly, staining the ground beneath it a dark red!

"Roar—!"

The Crimson Flame Magic Lion let out a shrill scream, its voice filled with pain and indignation!

Its body trembled violently, and its flames dimmed significantly; clearly, this spear strike had caused it immense damage.

At this moment, the Golden Element Wondrous Tree in the air also waved its golden branches, coiling toward the Crimson Flame Magic Lion!

Those branches were like countless golden venomous snakes, winding through the air and attacking the Crimson Flame Magic Lion from all directions simultaneously, sealing off all its paths of retreat!

Seeing this, the Crimson Flame Magic Lion's pupils constricted!

Facing the combined attack of the man and the phantom, it was completely outmatched!

The power of the flames within its body was nearly gone, its physical strength was exhausted, and its wounds continued to bleed incessantly.

If it continued to fight, it would surely die!

Escape, it had to escape!

The Crimson Flame Magic Lion opened its huge maw and spat out a mouthful of thick lava, blocking the several golden branches that were about to entwine it!

The lava collided with the golden branches, making a sizzling sound. Golden light and crimson firelight intertwined, and the branches were temporarily forced back.

Immediately after, the power of flames converged frantically on both sides of its body, and in the blink of an eye, a pair of giant flame wings condensed!

The wings were formed of pure fire, crimson and scorching hot, with countless sparks falling every time they flapped.

With a flap of its wings, the Crimson Flame Magic Lion turned into a streak of fiery light and fled into the distance!

Its speed was astonishingly fast, flying several tens of feet in the blink of an eye!

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Qin Yan's face!

This Crimson Flame Magic Lion had been scared out of its wits.

If the opponent had continued to tangle with him, he might not have been able to defeat and kill it by the time the Formation's duration ended.

After all, the Formation's duration was only two quarter-hours, and most of that time had already passed.

Furthermore, although the Crimson Flame Magic Lion had consumed a huge amount of energy, it was still a Half-step Grandmaster Vicious Beast; if it fought to the death, he would have to expend a lot of effort.

But now, the opponent was running away!

Running away meant its Battle Intent was gone, meaning it had lost the will to fight.

Moreover, the biggest openings appear when one is fleeing!

The back is the most vulnerable and the easiest to attack.

Watching the Crimson Flame Magic Lion fleeing in the distance, ice and fire True Qi surged upon Qin Yan's long spear!

The Xuanming True Water was deep and dark blue, emitting a bone-chilling aura;

The Nanming Li Fire was crimson and scorching, emitting a burning, oppressive temperature.

Two completely opposite types of True Qi collided violently at the tip of the spear, making a sizzling sound as if they were about to tear everything apart!

He immediately performed the Ice Flame Spear Technique!

A Major Achievement stage tiangang - exquisite grade Martial Skill possessed enough power to destroy the world!

Then, Qin Yan swung his spear!

A bolt of Ice Flame Spear Qi instantly shot out, slashing toward the fleeing Crimson Flame Magic Lion!

The Spear Qi was several tens of feet long, its entire body an intertwining of icy blue and crimson, like a magnificent rainbow!

Feeling the terrifying fluctuations coming from behind, the Crimson Flame Magic Lion's pupils fluctuated violently!

That threat of death made all its fur stand on end.

It no longer cared about escaping and hurriedly turned around. The flames on its surface instantly condensed, turning into a Crimson Flame Lion Phantom that lunged toward the Ice Flame Spear Qi!

The Crimson Flame Lion Phantom was crimson all over and lifelike, its bloody maw wide open and fangs exposed, emitting a scorching high temperature!

["Boom!"]

The Spear Qi collided with the Crimson Flame Lion Phantom, erupting in a deafening roar!

Icy blue light and crimson light intertwined, splashing points of light all over the sky!

Under the impact of the Spear Qi, the Crimson Flame Lion Phantom trembled and shrank continuously;

Under the obstruction of the Crimson Flame Lion Phantom, the Spear Qi was also being constantly consumed.

In the end, the Ice Flame Spear Qi gained the upper hand and shattered the Crimson Flame Lion Phantom.

The Crimson Flame Lion Phantom let out a wail and dissipated into dots of firelight.

Immediately after, the remaining Spear Qi continued forward and slammed into the Crimson Flame Magic Lion's body!

["Boom!"]

The Crimson Flame Magic Lion was hit instantly, and a massive wound split open on its body once again!

The Crimson Flame Magic Lion let out a scream, its body swaying in the air, nearly falling.

"This human is too terrifying!"

The Crimson Flame Magic Lion's heart was now filled with terror!

It had never seen such a terrifying human.

That human was clearly only at the Middle Sixth-Grade Realm, yet possessed strength no less than a Half-step Grandmaster;

It didn't want to die!

However, just as it wanted to flee again, several golden branches entwined it.

Those branches extended from the Golden Element Wondrous Tree, like countless golden ropes, binding the Crimson Flame Magic Lion's entire body tightly!

It was unable to move.

The Crimson Flame Magic Lion struggled desperately, its claws tearing and its fangs biting, but those golden branches were incredibly tough. No matter how it struggled, it could not break free.

Its strength was already exhausted.

It's over! Despair filled the Crimson Flame Magic Lion's pupils.

However, its despair did not last long.

Because Qin Yan had already arrived before it!

Three-attribute True Qi was wound around the long spear—the sharpness of gold, the vitality of green, and the heat of red—the three-colored light intertwined.

Qin Yan gripped the spear with both hands and swept it across!

["Pfft!"]

The Crimson Flame Magic Lion's head instantly flew off!

The massive head tumbled through the air several times before landing heavily on the ground, smashing out a deep pit.

The lion's eyes were wide open, carrying fear and indignation until the very end.

Thus, one of the four great Vicious Beasts, the Crimson Flame Magic Lion, had fallen!

Immediately, blood-colored chains emerged behind Qin Yan. Those chains extended from within his body and pierced into the Crimson Flame Magic Lion's corpse, absorbing the residual blood qi within it.

The blood qi of a Half-step Grandmaster was very abundant.

That blood qi was dense and pure, surging into Qin Yan's body along the chains to be refined and absorbed by him.

Qin Yan absorbed it for a full minute before he was finished!

At this moment, he only felt the blood qi surging within him like a rushing river, churning inside his body.

"It seems that in the short term, I won't have to worry about blood qi for opening my acupoints."

Qin Yan thought with satisfaction.

The blood qi of one Half-step Grandmaster was enough to support him in opening dozens of acupoints.

Meanwhile, the nine formation members behind Qin Yan still felt it was somewhat unbelievable as they looked at the now-shriveled corpse of the Crimson Flame Magic Lion.

Working together, they had actually killed a Half-step Grandmaster!
