Chapter 284: The Initial Fight

”Hiss!” Junior Leopard shot his divine thought, named Fu Yi, into the cave and was shocked by the scene in front of him.
There was a dense essence of the world which surged crazily that was sticky just like gelatin. Once Junior Leopard's thought went into it, it felt the unimaginable pneuma. The corner of his mouth on his body outside the cave twitched constantly and greed arose in his mind.
It was more than greed, he even wanted to live his whole life here.
In such an environment, it would be just a piece of cake for him to practice to Level Eight and Level Nine. He even had the confidence that he could break through to the Mysterious Realm in 10 years.
”The density of the pneuma here is thousands of times stronger than that in the Small Thunder Temple. There really is such a mysterious place like this in the world!” Junior Leopard exclaimed in his heart. He glanced at the world, which was totally surrounded by the blue glow of the pneuma, and thought, ”Is this the Divine Energy of the Azure Clouds?”
One thing that was out of his expectation was that the world under the cave was not filled with immortal Qi as he had thought before, but instead, it was so gloomy.
Under the entrance to the cave was a fantastic space, which was not as boundless as the Azure Secret Area outside of it, but was also not small. The most peculiar thing was that its top was not soil, as Junior Leopard had thought, but a sky.
There was no sun in the blue sky, so the blue light looked extremely gloomy. It was like a blue mantle that covered the whole space. There were also blue clouds, but it was not like what Green Spirit had described before. It was not that beautiful, but sinister in deep green, which made people feel scared.
Under the sky was a gigantic lake. This was a world that consisted of a green-black sky and a green-black lake. Though the lake was large in area, it was far from being called a sea.
It was two or three times larger than Lake Tai. There was a glistening light of waves on the lake's surface. From time to time, weird fishes leaped out of the lake and there were several islands towering above it. Looking from the distance, the sky atop these islands was filled with ominous clouds and gusts of gloomy wind. Although it was just a small thought of Junior Leopard which had gone to this place, his body outside the cave still felt great pressure from the lake water and the eccentric coercion of these islands.
But obviously, those who emitted coercion did not interest Junior Leopard's thought. In fact, he even thought that they had no interest in anything. They just wanted to live in this small world ignorantly forever.
The entrance of the cave was located on an island that was very large. Rarely seen plants and creatures existed all over it. The exit of this cave was in a tree hole from which Junior Leopard's thought came out.
This was a giant tree, whose leaves and branches thrust into the blue clouds of the sky and whose roots were deeply rooted under the earth. No one could tell how high it was.
Near the tree hole were some bushes. Though here they were bushes, when they were taken to the outside world, they would be trees of great height.
In the bushes stood a monster that was like a lion. Its whole body was golden and its thick mane flickered with blue light. Under its mane and above its skin were dense golden scales that looked like snake scales. Besides that, it had three tails. Its tusks were pointing to the tree hole and it was exhaling hot breath. An overwhelming coercion was emitted from its body. The coercion that rushed out of the inhibition of the cave and spread for 10 miles was emitted exactly by it.
”Level Nine. At least this monster has a Level Nine cultivation. No wonder it could emit such powerful coercion!” feeling that powerful strength, Junior Leopard exclaimed in his heart.
Now what he worried about was not just the strength of this monster, but also its spiritual intelligence. No matter what monster it was, when its cultivation reached Level Nine, it definitely had possessed spiritual intelligence and could be called an evil beast, which was the most troublesome thing.
When Junior Leopard looked at the back of the evil beast again, he found that it was followed by three little monsters of a similar appearance. He knew that he was out of luck, and could roughly tell what happened.
Apparently, this was the so-called ”if you hit the younger, then the revenge of the older will come”.
These three little monsters were at a Level Five or Level Six cultivation, and wounds could be seen on their bodies. They must have been severely injured in the fight with Ji Yeyue, and therefore, they had brought a parent to fight back.
But it was a pity that the one who had fought with them had already gone. And, as an unlucky man, he remained here instead. The giant monster blocked the cave entrance, which pushed him into a plight. Naturally, he was agitated.
Ji Yeyue has a Level Seven cultivation and his combat capability is at Level Eight. He definitely possesses some good things. But still, he had exhausted a lot of energy and had undergone painstaking efforts when he fought with these three little monsters. In this way, these three little monsters' combat capability is at least at Level Seven or they have some special magic skills. Green Spirit had said that the Grand Demon of primitive times possessed some peculiar magic skills. If I go down abruptly, I'll cause trouble for myself.
When Junior Leopard thought of this, he was not hot-headed. After a second thought, he smiled and lifted his hand up. Blue light flashed through his fingertips, and the Blue Sword was shot out like a snake and then flew into the cave.
”Howl!” The evil beast in the cave had waited for a long time and became agitated. Different from Junior Leopard's divine thought that was invisible, the Blue Sword was discovered once it appeared. The beast howled and its voice shocked the surroundings. Gigantic sound waves compressed the coercion into one place and struck toward the Blue Sword violently.
”Humph!” Outside the cave, Junior Leopard snorted coldly. The sword light of the Blue Sword suddenly arose. Carrying the sound of the wind and thunder, the sword broke the coercion of the evil beast in an instant and chopped toward its head.
Facing the surging sword light, the beast did not care about it at all. It casually lifted up its claws and patted on the sword light directly.
”Ding!” A clear sound emanated. Junior Leopard was astonished. The thunder-like attack was broken apart by the beast's claws. The sword light darkened and the shock force followed the thought on the Blue Sword to strike his divine thought. Although nothing serious had occurred, it shocked him after all.
Of course, the beast had suffered a lot as well. Although the sword light did disappear, the sharp Sword Qi struck its body and left a deep wound on its claws, where golden-blue blood flowed down from. If Junior Leopard's body was here, he would find that the blood was not fishy, but emitted a faint fragrance.
This was the benefit of living in such a place filled with Spiritual Qi—the creatures living here hardly ever touched the impure air of the mortal world. Thus, evil beasts living here were treasures. Even though their flesh, blood, and skeletons were not used to refine celestial devices and elixirs, they could temper muscles and bones and nourish pneuma when they were served as food directly.
Feeling its injury, the beast was furious. It was born on this island and had never met a strong opponent. Now, the inexplicable blue light before it not only injured its three babies, but also hurt it easily, therefore, it felt extremely embarrassed.
Though the three little monsters were not hurt by the Blue Sword, they were hurt near the tree hole, so it firmly believed that it was Blue Sword that had hurt its babies. Even though Junior Leopard wanted to explain, it was impossible.
The beast retreated a step and blood light flashed through its eyes. Suddenly, it fiercely jumped toward the Blue Sword. Its giant body moved fast like lightning and the three whip-like tails flogged toward the sword with the sound of wind and thunder.
Seeing how ferocious the beast was, Junior Leopard did not intend to fight with it recklessly. Through his thought, the sword light of the Blue Sword diffused into nine rays of sword light and evaded the violent attack of the beast. When the beast was exhausted, the sword light began to attack.
”Pa, Pa, Pa!” At the moment the Blue Sword was attacked, the pneuma around the beast suddenly exploded, which shocked Junior Leopard.
”What are these things?” Surging thunderbolts exploded and swept away the bushes within a 100-foot radius, leaving 10 more holes in the ground. When these thunderbolts hit the Blue Sword, they were absorbed instantly by the Jade Original Power Gang Spirit. The Blue Sword suddenly became bright and looked like an little emerald sun, as if it had been greatly nourished.
”It is the Green Flame and Dark Thunder, a kind of Evil Qi of the highest grade that can refine thunder-property Gang Qi. It is refined by the Blue Mysterious Evil Qi in the Azure Heaven. But if you haven used the Nine Heaven Thunder Qi to practice the Jade Original Power Gang, the Jade Original Power Gang refined by the Blue Mysterious Evil Qi could also be of great quality.”
Green Spirit explained after he heard Junior Leopard's description.
”This creature knows how to refine somber thunder?” This time, Junior Leopard had a whole new level of respect for this beast. Compared to Junior Leopard, the beast was more astonished. It was a rare primitive creature and was pretty powerful. Adding to that, it had several inborn magic skills in which the Green Flame and Dark Thunder was one of them, so it had succeeded in all the fights with other creatures on the island before. If only it used the Green Flame and Dark Thunder, even if it met a stronger opponent, its opponent would be severely injured. But now, the blue light that was like a swaying snake had not been affected at all and its spirit even became more dangerous, which confused it a lot.
Whether it could figure it out or not, Junior Leopard did not want to lose this opportunity. With the sword light of the Blue Sword suddenly illuminating and the Jade Original Power Gang spreading, a blue ray went over to cover the beast.
The beast was stunned and dared not to fight head-on, so it retreated. However, the Blue Sword did not give up fighting with it. Meanwhile, together with the Jade Original Power Gang, the Silver Moon Sword Technique was also displayed and pursued the beast.
In an instant, the sword light and Gang Qi all went over there. The beast had nowhere to escape to and finally was covered helplessly in the sword light and Gang Qi.
