130: Chapter 130 Brother, let's play double transformation!
This time, Yue Yun didn't turn off the lights again.
He pushed off the ground, charging forward like an arrow from a bow, the spear tip becoming even sharper due to his momentum.
Although the Shadow Leopard was temporarily blinded, its preternatural warning ability from the shadows hadn't disappeared, and it instinctively dodged toward absolute safety.
This dodge pulled it away from the other two.
Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu finally caught their breath, focusing their attention on the Shadow Leopard, which had nowhere to hide under the lights.
Yue Yun twisted his wrist and swung the spear horizontally, charging at the Shadow Leopard again like a general dragging a greatsword, his speed constantly increasing.
The Shadow Leopard naturally realized its current predicament.
The intense light shining on it almost broke the natural camouflage provided by the shadows, but it wouldn't give up without a fight.
It felt Yue Yun's approaching aura, and the black light and shadow around its body rapidly expanded, creating a zone of shadows.
Merging into the shadow zone, the Shadow Leopard seemed to vanish from the real world, with not a trace of dark aura leaking out.
Yue Yun's eyes narrowed slightly as he became instinctively alert.
The darkness behind him rippled like water, and the Shadow Leopard lunged out to attack; the sudden burst of speed and power from the shadow-infused sneak attack was immense.
At this moment, Yue Yun's five senses screamed in alarm.
He leapt into the air, spinning around to hold the cold iron long spear diagonally in front of him, steadily blocking the strike.
With the passive bonus of a sneak attack, the 3-star Shadow Leopard's strike actually caused the cold iron long spear to deform, the shaft bending significantly under the massive force.
Without the ground for support, Yue Yun was swatted back over a dozen meters.
Bang!
It wasn't until he crashed through another thick tree that he managed to land steadily, only for a dark shadow to flash toward him immediately.
He was met by the Shadow Leopard's sharp claws.
Shadow energy clung to the claws, which seemed to tear through the night, leaving gruesome, terrifying gashes in the air and emitting a dark, dangerous aura.
"Damn!"
Yue Yun growled and rolled out of the way.
He looked disheveled as he rolled on the ground, yet he narrowly dodged the Shadow Leopard's skill, letting it tear apart a fan-shaped area nearly two meters in front of it.
Yue Yun stood up and launched a fierce assault on the Shadow Leopard's flank.
The cold iron long spear scraped across the ground, its tip—incandescent from the intense light—thrusting toward the Shadow Leopard's kidney with searing heat.
The Shadow Leopard sensed the danger; its slender, lean body twisted to avoid vital spots, and its long, powerful tail lashed out at the cold iron long spear, deflecting the attack.
The Shadow Leopard used this to counterattack, its claws sweeping up from below in a "Scooping the Moon from the Seabed" motion, aiming straight for Yue Yun's face.
Yue Yun released his right hand from the spear to protect his face, instantly feeling a sharpness that could sever flesh and even bone, along with the persistent erosion of shadow energy.
He was sent flying by the Shadow Leopard's immense strength.
With another bang, Yue Yun crashed through another thick tree before stopping, his expression no longer as calm as before.
The five-meter-long health bar trembled slightly; his health had dropped to about four-fifths and was continuing to drain due to the erosion status.
"Fortunately, the Shadow Leopard's strength isn't too overwhelming."
Yue Yun thought to himself while tightening his grip on the spear.
The Shadow Leopard's preternatural warning ability made it difficult for him to get close, and without getting close, it was hard to deal damage.
"But I'm not fighting alone!"
Yue Yun shot a glance at Xu Qingfang.
Xu Qingfang, who was focused on the battle, naturally caught Yue Yun's look, but before he could process it, he saw Yue Yun charge at the Shadow Leopard again.
Facing Yue Yun's fearless charge, the Shadow Leopard had to avoid the brunt of it and retreated rapidly to the side.
Seizing the gap as the Shadow Leopard pulled away, Yue Yun flicked his spear forward and shouted, "Execute Divine Punishment!"
Familiar memories surfaced in his mind.
A wordless chemistry surged at this moment; Xu Qingfang commanded the Thunderwing Griffin to gather lightning, and a bolt as thick as a wrist streaked through the air, briefly illuminating the dark forest.
Crack!
The lightning bolt struck the Shadow Leopard with pinpoint accuracy; the leopard, which wasn't known for its defense, sustained significant damage.
Before it could react, Yue Yun was already upon it.
The incandescent spear tip thrust out fiercely, its sharpness tearing through the Shadow Leopard's body as hot beast blood splattered from the wound.
The intense light was blocked by the Shadow Leopard's body, as if all the brightness had been poured into it, allowing the forest to briefly return to its natural darkness.
The Shadow Leopard writhed in agony.
The black gas around it turned into a solid barrier, expanding until it enveloped the creature and relocated it to a safe position.
As it withdrew, the light once again illuminated the dark forest, revealing the black figure.
The Shadow Leopard appeared dozens of meters away, its golden eyes returning to normal as it warily watched the man with the spear.
Compared to those two Pet Beasts, this man was even more dangerous!
Yue Yun looked at the Shadow Leopard calmly; his gaze lingered on its eyes for a moment before he broke into a smile of realization.
Click!
With the flip of a switch, the blinding light vanished.
This time, Yue Yun gave no warning, causing even Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu to feel slightly uncomfortable, and the Shadow Leopard was no exception.
The night fell over everyone like a black veil.
Yue Yun opened his ink-black eyes in the darkness, and as he raised his spear, he shouted again, "Execute Divine Punishment!"
Without any delay, Xu Qingfang followed up with perfect synchronization.
The lightning bolt illuminating the night streaked through the air, the crackling noise surging in their ears as it accurately hit the target once more.
The Shadow Leopard's attempt to dodge was interrupted.
Closing in, Yue Yun swung the cold iron long spear, his bulging arm muscles exploding with terrifying power as the chillingly sharp spear tip delivered a heavy horizontal sweep.
An unparalleled sweep struck the Shadow Leopard.
Bang!
The Shadow Leopard's head rang with a dull thud, its dark and fierce head knocked askew; from its uncontrollably gaping maw, saliva mixed with blood and broken fangs flew out together.
Its mind went blank instantly, losing all ability to resist.
Yue Yun didn't let the Shadow Leopard fly backward; instead, he caught up in a few strides, twisting his wrist and arm.
The horizontal sweep transitioned into an upward strike.
A standard and beautiful upward whip was delivered fiercely; the spear, wielded like a staff, whistled through the air in Yue Yun's hands, instantly striking the Shadow Leopard's soft underbelly and completely incapacitating it.
The Shadow Leopard was simply too light.
It was knocked upward by Yue Yun's terrifying strength, tossed to a height that allowed him to change his stance before it fell limply.
The cold iron long spear, having changed its trajectory, thrust out, simply and directly piercing the Shadow Leopard's chest and easily shattering its violently beating heart.
Puchi!
Hot beast blood poured down, but Yue Yun easily avoided it after flinging the Shadow Leopard's body away, not letting a single drop touch him.
Mo Yu offered timely praise: "Awesome!"
Yue Yun smiled gently, looking at Xu Qingfang with joy: "My good brother, have you ever heard of the Thunder-Accompanied Yue Slash?"
