Holy crap!
Jiang Yuan was seething with rage. "Are you blind?! Those four over there aren't even done with, why are you chasing after us?"
"Jiang Yuan, it's here!" Ning Yanlan's voice was filled with fear. She had just witnessed what happened. Zhu Penghai, with fourteen points of strength, couldn't withstand a single move from the shadowy figure. Although they were a bit stronger, their strength was limited. If they encountered the shadowy figure, they would be brutally killed as well.
Jiang Yuan had no choice. He pushed Ning Yanlan aside and said in a deep voice, "Let's split up and run away. Let fate decide our fate!"
Yes, that's the only way now. If the two of them run in opposite directions, maybe one of them can survive.
"No!" Ning Yanlan's voice trembled. "I want to go with you!"
Ning Yanlan clung tightly to Jiang Yuan. For her, she couldn't accept either of them dying; dying together would at least alleviate her fear.
Jiang Yuan turned around and the dark figure was less than ten meters away from the two of them. If Ning Yanlan left, then Ning Yanlan would definitely be the one to die, because her speed was far inferior to Jiang Yuan's.
"Get on!" Jiang Yuan swept Ning Yanlan up in his arms, using Wolf Step while in a state of first-tier berserk and combat mode activated. "I didn't mean to use you as bait, don't misunderstand!"
Jiang Yuan felt it necessary to explain, because what he said just now was only in a rational state of mind, and the two of them had the greatest chance of survival if they went their separate ways.
"It's okay, I just want to die with you!" Ning Yanlan didn't think too much about it; she was genuinely afraid of dying alone in the monster's mouth.
"We're only a hundred meters away from here. This Holy Spirit Beast is seriously injured and hiding here. It definitely won't dare to go out. We can survive!" Jiang Yuan comforted him. This was a large shopping mall, and the underground space was also very large, enough for them to run all the way.
"Waaah!"
Just as Jiang Yuan was running at full speed, the shadowy figure increased its speed dramatically and arrived behind Jiang Yuan in just half a second.
"Spirit Shield!"
When the black shadow pounced, its gigantic mouth was only half a meter away from Ning Yanlan. She could even smell the stench coming from the shadow's mouth. Ning Yanlan activated her spiritual light shield in the last half second.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan also noticed the huge figure behind him, but what could he do? He could only do what Zhu Penghai and the others: use his own body to withstand it!
At the moment of impact, Jiang Yuan only hoped that the dark figure would just injure Zhu Penghai and the others and then leave, just like it had done with them.
With a crack, the shield of light shattered as it blocked the black shadow's attack, while the black shadow's forelimbs, each thirty centimeters in diameter, kicked Jiang Yuan.
"Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique!" Jiang Yuan held Ning Yanlan quietly in his arms. At this moment, he still had more than twenty points of strength in his physical body, while Ning Yanlan only had four points. If he couldn't protect Ning Yanlan with this kick, she would surely die.
Bang! The sound of flesh colliding was like the beating of a drum, but Jiang Yuan, the man who made the drum, was not as sturdy as imagined. The dark figure kicked him, sending him flying more than fifty meters away.
The distance of over fifty meters was a perfectly flat parabola, and a flexible one at that. Jiang Yuan rolled for a long time before being stopped by a pile of debris.
Jiang Yuan didn't die, and Ning Yanlan didn't die either. No, Ning Yanlan was even unharmed. The blood on her face was from Jiang Yuan's injury and vomit.
At this moment, the two could see the appearance of the black shadow clearly. It was an incomparably magnificent black panther. Perhaps, describing it as a black panther was not accurate, because the creature in front of them did not seem to be a product of Earth at all.
With its gray skin etched with strange patterns, covered only a few areas with pure black fur, and a pair of finger-length bone horns on its forehead, this sacred beast was exceptionally majestic.
"Brother, we've already fought, shouldn't we go?" Jiang Yuan was extremely nervous.
They could only hope that this sacred beast would behave the same as before, merely injuring them before leaving.
At this critical moment, Ning Yanlan had no worries. Instead, she used her sleeve to wipe the blood from Jiang Yuan's mouth and continuously channeled natural light into his body.
"Woo-woo!" The Holy Spirit Beast did not leave as Jiang Yuan had expected; instead, it growled and approached the two of them.
"Damn beast, they're not going to let us go!" Jiang Yuan cursed as he pulled out his knife. The difference between being brothers and beasts was just a thought away.
"Jiang Yuan, how strong is he!" Ning Yanlan felt a sense of powerlessness. The oppressive aura of the opponent made her unable to muster any will to resist.
"Thirty points of strength! Kill it, and we'll have roasted beast meat together tonight!" Jiang Yuan concealed the fact that he had over a hundred points of strength. If he told Ning Yanlan that, she would definitely lose her fighting spirit. It was better to tell her a white lie so that she wouldn't give up.
Ning Yanlan secretly rejoiced. How could she not know the strength of this Holy Spirit Beast? If it only had thirty points of strength, she would have immediately blasted it with the Gale Cannon. Unfortunately, it didn't. "Hmm, only thirty points of strength. If we kill it, we can add a candle tonight and have a candlelight dinner!"
"Take care of yourself, otherwise your black and white photo and candles will be really out of place tonight!" Jiang Yuan joked, not taking the Holy Spirit Beast opposite him seriously at all.
That's Jiang Yuan for you. If you accept your fate, that's fine. But if you don't, even the King of Heaven can ignore you.
After saying that, Jiang Yuan walked towards the Holy Spirit Beast. He had to fight. That attack just now, even if it didn't open up his Ren and Du meridians, it did increase his Spirit Awakening progress by two points. Just that one point was enough to make him take the risk.
Upon seeing this, the Holy Spirit Beast stopped in its tracks and uttered a sound that surprised everyone.
"You ant, I admire your courage in facing a powerful enemy!" The Holy Spirit Beast glared at Jiang Yuan with eyes as big as copper bells. "At least, you can die with some dignity!"
“You can speak!” Jiang Yuan stood in front of the not-so-large Holy Spirit Beast, holding his knife.
"Our race is born with extraordinary abilities, how could you ants possibly fathom them!" the Holy Spirit Beast said arrogantly.
“You are a Holy Spirit Beast!” Jiang Yuan said, uttering the name detected by the Heavenly Eye.
