118: Chapter 118 You're in a good position, lying there very peacefully.

In the rocky area, Liu Ming was still in a standoff with the Golden Sword Lion King.

He had already undergone Armorization.

His left hand was covered in a layer of silvery-white metal armor, his five fingers transformed into sharp blades.

His right hand was covered in a layer of dark purple scale armor, with a faint light flickering at his fingertips, seemingly coated in a potent toxin.

A long, slender, bony tail extended from his coccyx, with a barb at the tip.

Lin Fan's left eye felt a slight warmth, and all of Liu Ming's information was instantly laid bare.

[Name]: Liu Ming

[Rank]: Rank 36 Armor Spirit

[Armor Spirit]:

Silver Blade Mantis, Rank 36 Earth Spirit Intermediate, Armorization part: left hand.

Corrosive Poison Spirit Snake, Rank 32 Mystic Spirit Advanced, Armorization part: right hand.

Bone Spike Scorpion, Rank 30 Mystic Spirit Intermediate, Armorization part: coccyx.

Lin Fan withdrew his gaze, a punchable smile curling the corners of his mouth, and he shouted toward the rocky area.

"Yo, Liu Ming, that tail of yours is quite unique. Can your butt hold onto it?"

Liu Ming was focused entirely on the Golden Sword Lion King; hearing this, he nearly fainted from anger.

Gritting his teeth, he ignored Lin Fan. The Bone Spike Scorpion tail at his coccyx whipped out, drawing an arc in front of him. Bone spikes rose from the ground, forming a temporary barrier.

The Golden Sword Lion King's mane exploded outward, and countless silvery-white blades poured down like a rainstorm—Golden Blade Storm!

The bone spike barrier shattered, and the blades struck Liu Ming's left hand and right arm.

Liu Ming let out a miserable scream and dropped to one knee.

Lin Fan spoke up again.

"Oops, be careful. Don't kneel so quickly; the Lion King hasn't even used its full strength yet."

Liu Ming's face flushed red. He struggled to stand, raised his right hand, and sprayed a cloud of dark purple poisonous mist toward the Golden Sword Lion King's face.

The Lion King flicked its mane, and the silvery-white blades sliced the poisonous mist into fragments. The mist scattered, completely failing to get close to the Lion King.

The Golden Sword Lion King opened its mouth and let out a heaven-shaking Lion King roar, the sound waves turning into tangible golden ripples that swept toward Liu Ming.

Liu Ming crossed his hands in front of him, barely managing to block the sound waves with his armor.

However, he was sent flying backward by the impact, crashing heavily onto the ground with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Fan clicked his tongue twice.

"You're not doing so well. Should I cheer for you? Go Liu Ming! Get up, Liu Ming! Liu Ming..."

"Shut up!"

Liu Ming roared in anger, struggling to crawl up, and the Bone Spike Scorpion tail at his coccyx stabbed toward the Golden Sword Lion King's eyes.

The Lion King tilted its head, and the tail grazed its cheek, leaving a shallow scratch.

The Golden Sword Lion King was enraged. It raised its front paw and swiped at Liu Ming's chest.

Liu Ming was swiped away, crashing into the edge of the rocky area and sliding to the ground. His chest was caved in, and several ribs were broken.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to stand, but his legs wouldn't obey him.

The Golden Sword Lion King walked slowly toward him, each step causing the ground to tremble, its amber slit pupils filled with hunger for food.

Lin Fan leaned against the edge of the fern bushes, arms crossed, with an expression of watching a good show.

"Captain Liu Ming, that pose is not bad. You're lying very peacefully."

Liu Ming gritted his teeth and spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground.

"Lin Fan, you... just you wait..."

Lin Fan laughed.

"I'm waiting. Hurry up and get up to hit me. Oh, you can't get up."

The Golden Sword Lion King walked up to Liu Ming, opened its mouth, and the sharp teeth inside its gaping maw gleamed with a cold light.

Just then, Ye Qing walked out of the fern bushes, dragging Sun Qiang and Li Wei, who were tied up like zongzi with silk threads.

She threw the two on the ground and clapped her hands.

"Done."

Seeing his two unconscious teammates, Liu Ming's face turned deathly pale.

"Yo... you..."

Before he could finish, the Golden Sword Lion King bit toward his neck.

Liu Ming closed his eyes, resigned to waiting for the excruciating pain of sharp teeth piercing his throat.

However, the anticipated pain did not come. His ankle was suddenly grabbed by a force, and his entire body was lifted into the air and flung away.

He crashed heavily onto the edge of the rocky area, his back hitting a protruding rock, and his ribs sent a piercing pain through him.

He struggled to open his eyes and saw Ye Qing retracting the dark green silk threads from her left hand, revealing a smirk at him.

"It's not time to die yet. What's the rush?"

Liu Ming opened his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and before he could speak, his vision went black, and he fainted.

The Golden Sword Lion King bit at empty air, its teeth clashing with a teeth-gritting sound.

It looked down at the empty ground, then looked up at Ye Qing, its amber slit pupils filled with rage.

Its mane stood on end, and the silvery-white blades gleamed coldly in the grayish light.

It let out a heaven-shaking roar, the sound waves turning into tangible golden ripples that swept toward Ye Qing.

Ye Qing swung the tentacles on her right leg, Spatial Jump—she vanished from the spot.

The sound waves struck the spot where she had just been standing, causing spiderweb-like cracks to spread across the rocky ground.

Ye Qing appeared beside Lin Fan and clapped her hands.

"Rescued him. He's unconscious."

Lin Fan glanced at the unconscious Liu Ming on the ground, then looked at the enraged Golden Sword Lion King in the center of the rocky area.

"We'll talk about questioning him later. Let's deal with this big guy first."

The Golden Sword Lion King was already charging toward them.

The Rank 50 Heaven Spirit Lower Grade Armor Beast sprinted at full speed, its speed shockingly fast. Its mane exploded outward, and blades poured toward the three of them like a rainstorm.

Ye Wushuang was the first to meet it.

The Ice Crystal Wings behind him suddenly unfurled, and the light shield on his left arm expanded abruptly, the Moon Brilliance Shield blocking most of the blades.

The blades struck the light shield, stirring up countless ripples. The light shield was covered in cracks but did not shatter.

Ye Wushuang was pushed back two steps by the impact. His right leg underwent Thunder Charge Armorization, and he activated Thunder Flash. His entire body turned into a streak of silvery-purple lightning, instantly rushing to the side of the Golden Sword Lion King and kicking hard into its ribs with his Thunder Kick.

Thunderlight exploded, and the Golden Sword Lion King was kicked two steps to the side.

Lin Fan rushed out from the side, Light Travel Step erupting at full power, and pale golden streams of light circled behind the Golden Sword Lion King.

The Flood Dragon Poison Fang on his left hand stabbed toward its hind leg joint. The Golden Sword Lion King sensed danger and whipped its tail over.

Lin Fan's left eye predicted the trajectory, he dodged to the side, and the Flood Dragon Poison Fang pierced into the muscles of its hind leg.

The toxin was injected, and the Golden Sword Lion King's hind leg began to go numb, its movements slowing by a beat.

It roared, turned, and lunged at Lin Fan, its gaping maw opening as golden light gathered in its throat.

Ye Qing appeared above the Golden Sword Lion King's head, activating the Ghost Poison Spores of her Shadow Moss on her left hand.

Countless tiny, dark green spores drifted from her palm, attaching to the Lion King's mane, eyes, and nose.

The moment the spores entered its body, the Lion King felt its whole body go numb, and the golden light in its throat began to destabilize.

It shook its head violently, and Ye Qing swung the tentacles on her right leg, Spatial Jump to dodge.

Lin Fan took the opportunity to retreat and put some distance between them.

Ye Wushuang rushed up from the side again. His right leg, with Thunder Charge, activated Golden Blade Armor Piercing. Golden sharp light covered his ankle blade wings, and he chopped down onto the Lion King's neck with one kick.

The sound of metal friction was ear-piercing. A large patch of its mane was shorn off, revealing the blue-gray skin underneath.

There were fine golden patterns on the skin, and its defense was extremely strong; Golden Blade Armor Piercing only left a shallow scratch.

The Golden Sword Lion King felt the pain. Its mane exploded, releasing the Golden Blade Storm indiscriminately!

Countless silvery-white blades shot out in all directions.

Ye Qing swung the tentacles on her right leg repeatedly, Spatial Jump to a distance.

Ye Wushuang blocked the front with the light shield on his left arm and folded his Ice Crystal Wings to protect his back; the blades left streaks of scratches on his Ice Armor.

Lin Fan's Light Travel Step erupted at full power, weaving through the rain of blades, but two blades still grazed his shoulder, leaving two bloodstains.

After releasing the Golden Blade Storm, the Golden Sword Lion King's light dimmed for a moment.

Lin Fan seized the opportunity, the golden crystal in his left eye lighting up—Mental Shock!

Invisible Mental Energy struck the Lion King's head squarely. Its body stiffened abruptly, and its amber eyes lost focus.

Ye Qing Spatial Jumped from afar to in front of the Lion King. She activated the Spirit Power Drain of her Shadow Moss with her left hand at full power, the silk threads wrapping around the Lion King's mane and beginning to drain its spirit power.

The Lion King's golden light grew dimmer and dimmer, and the strength of its struggle grew weaker and weaker.

Ye Wushuang dove down from the air, the Ice Crystal Wings behind him snapping shut. He transformed into an ice-blue arrow, and the Thunder Flash of his right leg's Thunder Charge activated simultaneously, silvery-purple lightning intertwining with the ice blue.

He kicked down onto the top of the Lion King's head.

The Golden Sword Lion King let out a desperate whinny and collapsed with a boom, dust flying everywhere.

Lin Fan raised his left hand.

"Moon Fall Heaven Strike!"

The power of Moon Brilliance condensed, and a moon shadow strike descended from the sky, accurately smashing onto the Golden Sword Lion King's limp head.

The Lion King's blue-gray skin instantly shattered under the Moon Brilliance strike, its massive body trembling violently before crashing heavily onto the rocky ground, kicking up a sky full of dust.
