"Little beast, I want to see how long you can last."

The short young man stared at Jing Ke and smiled grimly.

After saying that, he quickly changed the formation hand seals with his hands, and the flame energy in the formation was mobilized instantly.

"roar--!"

Then, a roar like a dragon's roar sounded.

"The fire dragon roars!"

The short young man shouted coldly, and the flame energy in the formation turned into a beast-like shadow resembling a fire dragon, which rushed towards the direction where Jing Ke was with an unstoppable ferocious attitude!

Jing Ke hesitated for a moment, then flapped his wings fiercely and charged forward without fear.

An animal as small as a fly.

A huge fire dragon energy body that is more than ten feet long.

The huge difference in shape is extremely visually impactful!

"A beast is indeed a beast. It is simply courting its own death."

A ferocious look appeared on the short young man's face. He controlled the fire dragon, and it exploded instantly when it hit Jing Ke.

Bang--!

All of a sudden, a terrifying fire energy storm swept wildly across the formation space.

Jing Ke's figure was directly swallowed up by the raging sea of ​​fire.

The scorching flames bloomed, reflecting on the gloomy faces of the short young man and the man with a crew cut.

Then, the flames dissipated.

"Killed it?"

Looking at the empty formation space, ecstasy surged in the eyes of the two.

To make sure there was nothing wrong, they looked around cautiously.

After a careful inspection, they were able to confirm that Jing Ke was nowhere to be seen in the formation space and was most likely burned to death by the flames.

After all, that little thing can't withstand the fire.

Thinking about it this way, it makes sense.

"This formation jade slip given by the Lord of the Mansion is quite powerful."

The short young man smiled in admiration, then waved his hand and collected all the formation light patterns into the jade slip.

The formation in the jade slip can only be used twice.

I have just used it once, and this is the last time I have left. I must save it for an emergency.

"The troublesome pet has been eliminated. Next, we just need to deal with the kid from Tianyan Academy, and the treasure will be ours!"

The short young man grinned greedily, put the jade slip in his hand into the storage ring, and took out a sharp sword.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of his sight.

"What?!"

Looking at Jing Ke who suddenly appeared, the short young man was suddenly startled and his pupils shook violently.

whoosh——!

As soon as Jing Ke appeared, he swung his tail.

The sharp black tail spike instantly extended and lengthened, fiercely piercing the short young man's left eye and piercing through his head.

After the killing blow, Jing Ke did not stop at all and rushed towards the man with a crew cut next to him.

Without the assistance of the fire formation, facing Jing Ke, who had the ninth-level combat power, in close combat, that guy had no power to resist at all.

"ah!"

With a scream, the man with a crew cut suddenly foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground.

But I saw that a small piece of flesh had been bitten off from his neck.

Although the wound was small, it was dark in color, obviously infected by Jing Ke's deadly poison, which had already penetrated into the body.

Under the night sky, Jing Ke was like a cold-blooded killer, staring at the two corpses on the ground with indifferent eyes, without any fluctuation in expression.

The moment it collided with the fire dragon energy beast shadow, it immediately dodged and turned into stealth mode.

Thanks to this trick, they were able to deceive the short young man and his men, and thus remove the fire formation.

Immediately, it swung its foot blade, cut off the corpse's fingers, directly took out the two storage rings, and then flew back to the stone house.

At this time, in the quiet stone house.

Lin Hao was still sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, like an old monk in meditation.

Inhale gently and exhale slowly.

After several hours of absorption and digestion, the huge energy of the Lingyuan Fruit had tempered his body inside and out.

Now, only one step is left. To break through the barrier of the eighth spiritual vein in the body, one can break through the realm!

As for the scene that just happened outside the house, Lin Hao naturally received all the visual information sent by Jing Ke in his mind.

However, with his pet Jing Ke as a bodyguard, he had no worries at all about dealing with the two minions.

Therefore, during the whole process, Lin Hao completely ignored it and always concentrated on practicing in seclusion.

Otherwise, if it is stopped halfway, the consequences will be extremely tragic.

Immediately, Lin Hao concentrated his mind and gathered all the energy flowing to his limbs and bones into the Dantian acupoint.

The surging spiritual power, like a tide, surged violently in the dantian.

In the wave of spiritual power, a flaming spirit infant sat majestically, unaffected at all.

This is exactly the holy spirit infant that Lin Hao obtained from the ancient tomb in the Warcraft Mountains.

Until now, Lin Hao has not used its energy, so it has been in a dormant state.

Lin Hao ignored this and mobilized all his spiritual power to rush towards the eighth spiritual vein around the Dantian acupoint.

boom--!

This kind of impact did not encounter any obstacles, as if it was a natural process. It instantly broke through the shackles and opened the barrier of the eighth spiritual vein.

For a moment, a large amount of spiritual power flowed in like a tide.

The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in this area was also like being drawn, constantly pouring into Lin Hao's body, tempering his muscles, bones, blood and flesh...

In just a few breaths, Lin Hao's body has been strengthened a lot again.

"The Millennium Spiritual Essence Fruit is indeed extremely effective in increasing one's cultivation."

Feeling the powerful spiritual power fluctuations in his body, Lin Hao was quite satisfied, and a smile slowly appeared at the corners of his mouth.

The last time I broke through to level seven was only two months ago.

With this speed of cultivation, if one only relies on tediously absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth every day to temper oneself, it is unknown when one can be promoted to level eight.

However, at this moment, a small thousand-year-old spiritual fruit was like a shortcut, saving him a lot of time.

Lin Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart about this.

Poor in literature, rich in martial arts.

The meanings of these four words are indeed not made up at random.

Without a large amount of training resources to support it, the so-called martial arts talent is all just empty talk.

It's like two young men with the same talents.

A family is so poor that it is difficult for them to even have three meals a day.

A family with strong financial resources, endless precious resources to enjoy, as well as guidance from famous teachers and martial arts inheritance.

Comparing the two sides, one can imagine the speed of cultivation.

Lin Hao is very clear about his own position.

His Lin family is just a small ancient martial arts family in Qingyang Town.

In terms of starting point, he was undoubtedly far inferior to those martial arts geniuses with powerful backgrounds.

Although he had the help of the system, most of the experiences he had gained over the years and all the resources he had acquired were earned at the cost of his life.

All along, Lin Hao did not dare to be proud or complacent at all.

Only by continuing to strive hard can you obtain more cultivation resources and become stronger and stronger.

Because he didn't want to repeat the days of being bullied again!

Therefore, things like ** or starting a family are not within Lin Hao's consideration for the time being.

He now has only one goal.

That is, reaching the pinnacle of martial arts!!!
