Chapter 2 Save the Little Beast

The autumn sun fell slanting against the treetops, and a beam of light hit Zhuang You's face, stabbing him awake. Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar mountains, Zhuang You summoned the Xuanmang Sword in some horror to prevent the sudden attack of the demon beasts. After a moment of meditation, the scene of Liu Sanmei crushing the thunderbolt beads came to his mind.

"Mother-"

Crystal tears ran down the cheeks of the still immature face, and the sun shè from the air shè a little bit of color, and then slipped into the loess without a trace.

"Father, my son swears to the heavens, and the blood debt will be repaid. Zhuang You identified the direction, knelt on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed three times to the west.

He got up and was about to choose a place to escape, but the sound of demon beasts fighting and biting stopped his steps. He raised his breath and hurried towards the direction where the sound came, and before he reached the battle circle where the demonic power was flying, he saw a demon beast that looked like a dog and not a dog in the distance and was confronting the golden leopard with hair like steel thorns standing up. This monster beast that looks like a dog and is not a dog is a small beast, and it is very brave and ruthless, and it is extremely difficult to tame.

Seeing that the little beast's fur was stained with blood, Zhuang You felt a little disgusted with the golden leopard who bullied the little demon beast with his size. His heart moved with his thoughts, mobilized Yuan Li from the sea of qi to instill the Xuanmang Sword, and hid in the shadows to take advantage of the Jin Xuanleopard's defenselessness to give it a surprise attack. If he fights with Jin Xuanbao head-on, with his Yuan Li cultivation that has not yet condensed the Dan, he can only seek his own death. He could feel that this Golden Xuan Leopard possessed the demonic power of the late stage of the Demon Yuan Realm (equivalent to the early stage of the cultivator's original Yuan Realm).

"Woo", a low roar sounded, and Jin Xuanbao turned his head to look at the place where Zhuang You was hiding and made a jingan sound. Seeing this opportunity, the little beast jumped into the air suddenly, only to see a blood-red afterimage gliding by, and it had bitten fiercely on the neck of the golden leopard. The golden leopard looked up to the sky in pain, and the demonic power like a shock wave was like ripples in the water, drumming around and around the little beast. The little beast whimpered a few times unwillingly and painfully, and fell from the air not far from Zhuang You's feet with a mouth full of blood.

Before Zhuang You could come to his senses, Jin Xuanbao attacked him. He didn't care about the injury of the little beast, and hurriedly urged the Yuan Force in the Qi Sea again, and sacrificed the Xuanmang Sword to the golden Xuanbao who rushed towards him. The Xuanmang Sword was wrapped in the sound of breaking wind, and stabbed straight at the center of the Golden Xuanbao's Baotou.

The golden leopard sensed that the flame-like light emitted by the Xuanmang Sword was in mortal danger, so it quickly turned its body and threw out a leopard's tail wrapped in green demonic power into the air. The Xuanmang Sword couldn't withstand the attacking demonic power, and slid against the leopard hair that emitted cold light on the back of the golden Xuanbao leopard. There was a sound of Jin Ge colliding, and the Xuanmang Sword was inserted into the loess in the distance, humming tremblingly.

The little beast struggled to get up from the ground, coughing twice before it could stand on its feet. It looked at the golden leopard who was furious because of the burning of its fur, and decisively blocked in front of Zhuang You, ready to block a blow for him. Zhuang You looked at the little beast with a bitter face, and became more and more annoyed that his Yuan Li cultivation was not enough. He thought that if his father Zhuang Xiaotian was there, Jin Xuanbao would have fled for his life. But now the golden leopard is rushing towards his location, and he has nowhere to escape. In desperation, he closed his eyes and waited for death.

"Daddy, you wait for me, my son is here to accompany you. Zhuang You smiled sadly, waiting for Jin Xuanbao to crush his head.

After a moment of waiting, Zhuang You didn't feel the demonic power of the golden leopard slashing at his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the little beast, which was only half a foot long, and the golden leopard, which was several times its size, were biting together on the dry grass. From the bloodstains on the little beast, Zhuang You felt some unbearable pain in his heart.

"Okay, let's fight. It's a matter of success or failure. ”

Zhuang You was aroused by the persistence of the little beast to survive and fight. He decisively used the Dragon Trick to the extreme, and the Yuan Force between heaven and earth rushed towards him. Feeling the pain coming from the full Yuan Force in the Qi Sea, he immediately moved his mind, and the Xuanmang Sword inserted in the loess let out a cheerful cry of "humming", and hung in the air again. The little beast and the golden leopard looked at the flames emanating from the sword body, and they all sensed the dangerous smell in it.

The golden leopard raised its head and let out a long roar at the sky, and then saw that its body was stretched in a circle by the bulging demonic power. The little beast couldn't resist the golden leopard's crazy back fall, and fell from the leopard to the ground. Before it had time to dodge, it was trapped in front of him by Jin Xuanbao with his demonic power.

Zhuang You was worried that he would accidentally injure the little beast, so he refused to make a move. While he was in a stalemate with the Golden Leopard, the little beast guessed his intentions from the last attack power of his powerful crossbow. I saw the little beast roar angrily, shrunk into a round ball, and slammed into the leopard's mouth of the golden leopard. The golden leopard couldn't withstand the self-harming attack of the little beast killing a thousand enemies and self-inflicting eight hundred, and his body couldn't help but retreat. Taking this opportunity, the little beast rolled on the ground several times in a row, and finally escaped from the golden leopard's demon power cage. The golden leopard was unwilling to sit still, it lay on the ground and accumulated strength for a while, and pounced in the direction where Zhuang You was.

With a "poof" sound, the Xuanmang Sword passed through the head of the golden Xuan Leopard, and the leopard corpse flying in the air crashed into Zhuang You's body along the habit, splashing his body full of leopard blood. Before he could recover from his fright, the little beast screamed at him twice with gratitude, and then flew to the corpse of the golden leopard, smashed the leopard's head with one claw, and took out a piece of red demon crystal from it and swallowed it into its stomach.

Zhuang You escaped death, how dare he stay in the same place longer. He was worried that the other demon beasts would come smelling blood, but he saw the huddled body of the little beast rising with bursts of colorful glow. It seems that the little beast is refining the demon crystal of the golden leopard. Zhuang You smiled bitterly, and had the heart to leave, but he was worried that the little beast would be disturbed by sāo, so he stood in place to help it protect the Dharma.

The time of the half-pillar incense passed, and the colorful glow on the body of the little beast showed signs of restraint. Zhuang You nodded silently, and decisively raised his feet to leave. He didn't want to throw his life away in this barren mountain. Thinking of his father's tragic death, he became more and more determined to live strong and wait for the opportunity to take revenge. Just before his raised foot hit the ground, the little beast that had finished refining the demon crystal ran over and hugged his foot with its two fleshy front paws, blocking his way.

"Evil animal, I almost took my life to help you. Could it be that you want to be ungrateful and wait for other golden leopards to come and kill me?" Zhuang You scolded angrily, but his subordinates did not act. He could have used the Xuanmang Sword to drive away the little beast, but he couldn't bear to let it suffer from flesh and skin again.

When this man and beast were in a stalemate, the sound of breaking wind that followed Mi Yuanbee to track him caused Zhuang You's jingjue. Judging from his voice, there were no less than ten people coming, and they were better than his father. Zhuang You was angry and anxious and kicked the little beast away. His mind moved, and the Xuanmang Sword crossed in front of him. He listened to the movement around him, and opened the way with the Xuanmang Sword in his hand, preparing to find a place to hide. But the little beast did it again, and once again held him back.

"It's almost in this area, within a radius of five miles, and give me a closer look. Catch the kid who set the fire, the emperor will be rewarded!"

Listening to the voices that were getting closer and closer, Zhuang You couldn't help but be a little annoyed. He thought to himself: You beast who looks like a dog but not a dog not only thank me for helping you, but also block my way, and I can't find it.

"Woo", the little beast whispered twice not far away. Zhuang Youji stretched out his ears to listen, and after the sound of two breaking winds, two sergeants wearing armor with the word "Yu" landed on the way to him. Zhuang You suddenly understood the reason why the minibus didn't let him go, and squatted down and patted its head with gratitude, expressing his gratitude. The little beast nodded as if psychic, then bit Zhuang You's clothes and pulled them forward, motioning for him to follow.

Zhuang You did not refuse, and raised his heels. But not far away, he heard the sound of the two imperial immortal soldiers behind him.

"A golden leopard, judging from the wound, is killed by a sword. There are people nearby, let's be careful and don't go out of the way. ”

Seeing that he couldn't escape, he decisively stopped, wanting to break the net with the immortal army that was searching for him. The little beast seemed to understand his thoughts, and hurriedly turned around and ran back. It stood at Zhuang You's feet, rubbed its head against his calf, whined at a small protruding dirt bag not far away, and then led the way in front of its head.
