Jiang Yuan communicated with Ning Yanlan using his spirit ring. He discovered this from the previous attack; the Holy Spirit Beast was severely injured and its defenses were not comprehensive.

His previous strikes were all of similar force, but one of them went in deep. At that moment, he realized that it was when the patterns on the Holy Spirit Beast's body began to dim.

However, he was not sure because he had not yet awakened his spiritual power, and the gap between him and the Holy Spirit Beast was too great, so his Heavenly Eye could not detect the opponent's weaknesses. But Ning Yanlan was different; she possessed spiritual power and could perceive the Holy Spirit Beast's weaknesses more clearly under certain conditions.

After all, the strange patterns on the Holy Spirit Beast are also a manifestation of the power of heaven and earth.

"Alright!" Ning Yanlan knew that the only way to win was to find the Holy Spirit Beast's weakness; otherwise, with such a huge gap in strength, none of the three of them would have a chance to survive.

At this moment, the Holy Spirit Beast's attack landed. Faced with the Holy Spirit Beast's extremely fast attack, Jiang Yuan had nowhere to hide and could only use the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique to withstand it.

thud

With this blow, Jiang Yuan felt his body crack open, and even his soul was shattered. The massive internal bleeding rendered him unable to move, and even his eyes were bloodshot.

One blow nearly cost Jiang Yuan his life.

"Bloodlust activated, Bloodlust value increased!"

The long-lost voice, but the boost from bloodlust was far from enough to make up for the gap between him and the Holy Spirit Beast.

"Aura of Resilience!"

"The Light of Nature!"

Just as Jiang Yuan was about to collapse, a faint voice roused him. Xiang Yeyun, who had suffered two severe injuries, got up again and then did his best to transfer spiritual energy to Jiang Yuan.

Meanwhile, Ning Yanlan used the Light of Nature to heal Jiang Yuan during the intervals between attacks.

"Combat mode activated!"

Exhausted, Jiang Yuan resumed his battle mode after swallowing beef balls and Qi-enhancing pills. He couldn't match the speed of the Holy Spirit Beast, but quick reflexes were still useful in close-quarters combat.

The Holy Spirit Beast seemed to be enraged by Jiang Yuan's actions. It could not tolerate the provocation of an ant that had not yet successfully awakened its spirit, which only demonstrated its incompetence.

"Purple Lightning!"

Purple lightning appeared on the two small bone horns of the Holy Spirit Beast. This scene made Jiang Yuan feel cold. After physical damage, they also attacked with magic damage, huh!

The purple lightning was incredibly fast. For the first time, Jiang Yuan felt the might of heaven so close, but he was helpless. The lightning arrived in the blink of an eye. He didn't have time to react, and neither did Ning Yanlan. They were engulfed by the lightning before they could even put on their spiritual shield.

"Jiang Yuan!" Ning Yanlan exclaimed anxiously. She waved her hand and unleashed a Gale Cannon, this time noticing the change in the patterns on the Holy Spirit Beast's body. "Gale Cannon!"

The wind cannon fired, and even though the Holy Spirit Beast knew it would be injured, it still went to kill Jiang Yuan without hesitation.

Jiang Yuan had no way to express his suffering. Just as he was enveloped by the lightning, the Holy Spirit Beast pounced on him. "Wolf Step!"

At the critical moment, Jiang Yuan dodged the Holy Spirit Beast's head-biting attack, but was kicked to the ground by the Holy Spirit Beast and then subjected to various forms of brutal torture.

The fourth-tier Iron Blade was really not very useful against the seventh-tier Holy Spirit Beast. Occasionally it would make a cut, but Jiang Yuan would be half-dead from the electric shock. The only thing worth Jiang Yuan persisting with was the ever-increasing progress of his Spirit Awakening.

736 per thousand—that's a huge leap. The biggest increase was when I was struck by the purple lightning, which boosted my Spirit Awakening progress by a full 30 points.

As for Ning Yanlan's Gale Cannon, this was Ning Yanlan's first meritorious act. The Gale Cannon struck the Holy Spirit Beast, creating a fist-sized wound from which golden blood flowed.

"Bloodlust level increased!"

Jiang Yuan's internal power rebounded; this power came from the blood of the Holy Spirit Beast.

"Insects, how dare you harm me! I will tear you to pieces!" The Holy Spirit Beast charged towards Ning Yanlan.

The speed was too fast; Ning Yanlan couldn't dodge it at all, and neither could Zhu Penghai. But Ning Yanlan was the only one among them with a chance to win, so Zhu Penghai had no choice but to block her.

"Shield of the Earth!"

Zhu Penghai gathered all his strength in front of him, while Ning Yanlan, after casting a spiritual shield, began to prepare her killing move.

The Spirit Judgment requires time to prepare, and once used, it will inevitably end the battle, as it will drain all her spiritual energy.

"Whoosh!" Veins bulged on Zhu Penghai's forehead, but it was no use. His defense was just for show in front of the Holy Spirit Beast. The Holy Spirit Beast tore off one of Zhu Penghai's arms with overwhelming force and then rushed straight at Ning Yanlan.

"Second-tier Berserk!"

At that moment, Qian Kai also woke up. He activated his buff skill and slashed at the Holy Spirit Beast's hind leg, but a bolt of purple lightning struck, and Qian Kai's fate was unknown.

This was a completely crushing battle; we couldn't outrun them in speed, defense, or attack.

"Second move of opening the mountain!"

Despite the excruciating pain that felt like his body was about to fall apart, Jiang Yuan unleashed the second move of the Mountain-Splitting Technique.

This is an incomplete sword technique, but once the Mountain-Splitting Sword Technique is completed, it will surely surpass the ninth rank.

If the first move of the Mountain Opening Technique is the opening move, then the second move is the power accumulation move. The power accumulated in the Iron Blade is getting stronger and stronger, and in the blink of an eye, it has broken through forty power energy, while Jiang Yuan's physical strength has been exhausted.

The Holy Spirit Beast slammed into Ning Yanlan's body, while Jiang Yuan slashed at the Holy Spirit Beast's abdomen.

"Smoke and Mist!"

With just one strike, Ning Yanlan suffered a comminuted fracture in half of her shoulder. If Jiang Yuan's attack hadn't slowed the Holy Spirit Beast's pace, Ning Yanlan would have undoubtedly died.

The unstoppable attack knocked Ning Yanlan to the ground, but she didn't utter a sound. She knew that if she couldn't survive this ordeal, her future would be irrelevant, so no amount of pain could make her give up on survival.

Jiang Yuan trembled, not because of himself, but because of Ning Yanlan. Ning Yanlan's strength, which was less than four points, meant that her defense was far weaker than that of a strength-based character. This attack would most likely kill her.
