159 The Winged Lion (1/2)
The Guardian of the Forest opened his mouth wide as the crimson fire started to gather in his throat. Zhang Mengyao got closer to him, ”Save your mana for later and get the others to keep their distance for the time being,”
The Winged Lion spar the big fireball toward Tang Shaoyang while Tang Shaoyang threw [Wild Axes] in return. The [Wild Axes] pushed through the fireball, but the Winged Lion easily deflected his skill with the wings.
Tang Shaoyang and Zhang Mengyao also avoided the fireball. Aside from it was a powerful fireball, nothing special with that. They easily avoided the fireball.
The Winged Lion did not immediately attack them again as he looked at the wing. A few feathers were cut by [Wild Axes], The Guardian was clearly not happy about that.
”You have angered me, human!” The Winged Lion roared at Tang Shaoyang, but the latter also returned with a roar, a similar roar to the Winged Lion.
[War Cry]
[War Cry activated, boosting your attribute by 40% for seven minutes]
Level 2 [War Cry] showed its change, two minutes longer duration and ten more percent attribute boost. The roar collided that caused the Winged Lion stunned for a moment.
”Lu An, Wei Xi, Zhang Mengyao, and Li Na stay! Yu Shun! You lead the others to leave this place!” Tang Shaoyang arranged his people, five against one Guardian Beast.
He thought this carefully, since [Wild Axes] failed even to scratch the Winged Lion. His subordinates would not be able to help him in the battle, they would be an easy target for the lion. He did not want to lose his people to this kind of battle.
Yu Shun had a useful zombie army, but the zombies were not strong enough to face the guardian beast if his [Wild Axes] was rendered useless. Having him watch others was the better choice.
Tang Shaoyang noticed a few people such as Liang Suyin, Fu Dandan, Dai Wenqian, Wu Xin were hesitating, even Yan Sheng and Tian Donghai did not want to leave, but he yelled to them, ”This is an order!!”
Only after that, they started to leave, Kang Xue and her family were in the group as well. But the Guardian Beast would not that happen, ”Who says you can't leave! You all should die here!”
The Winged Lion spit another fireball at the group, Zhang Mengyao moved so fast as she stood at the backline. Raising her shield to the incoming fireball, she activated her skill.
[Shield Wall]
”Tsk, what an annoying ability!” The Winged Lion tched as he witnessed his fire was blocked, not surprising though. He had expected the human was this strong to take down five Beast Kings.
While the Guardian Beast had his focus on Zhang Mengyao, Wei Xi and Lu An moved to the bottom of the beast.
Wei Xi activated [Quick Movement], and Lu An activated [Dash], climbing to the tree before they leaped toward the Winged Lion who hovered in the air.
[Elephantine Strike] [Fatal Strike]
The two slashes their swords to the lion's red crimson fur. Their movements were unexpectedly fast that the Winged Lion could not detect the two.
Slash! Slash!
A line of the cut was made at the lion's body.
”Damn! Sneaky human!” The Winged Lion flapped his wing, sweeping the surrounding with a huge gale that sent Wei Xi and Lu An to the ground. The lion opened his mouth to spit yet another fireball to the two, but Tang Shaoyang was already on the top of his head.
[Earth Split]
The opened mouth was forced to close with the stomp. The Winged Lion's head dizzy because of the stomp, his body swaying in the air. Tang Shaoyang was standing on top of the lion's big body, he rushed down.
