C9 Snow Lion

Yee Chen was walking in the dense ancient forest of Soul Cleaving Stream. Ancient trees towered into the sky. The sky was covered by the sun. Because the ancient forest looked sinister and terrifying, mysterious and unpredictable. Furthermore, very few people dared to go into this forest. Even if they went in, they never came out again. The reason why very few people entered this land was because of the Profound Beast and the Soul Cleaving Qi in the ancient forest. Therefore, almost no one dared to set foot in this land. Occasionally, there would be someone brave enough to barge in, but he would also shrink back in front of the Profound Beast and the Soul Cleaving Qi in the ancient forest. Due to their survival instinct, they would never step into the Soul Cleaving Stream, and thus, they would completely lose the chance to step into this clean land. Of course, there were also some rare treasures in the Soul Cleaving Stream that no one would have thought of, but only the Battle Sovereign Expert would dare to step into it. However, how many Battle Sovereign were there in the Desolate Border? Basically, there were none.

Suddenly, the ancient tree next to Yee Chen let out a creaking sound. One side of the ancient tree branch was broken, and then a snow-white Profound Beast jumped out. It stared at ___ without moving its eyes. This beast was about three meters long and more than one meter tall. Its head was somewhat similar to a tiger's head, but it was not a tiger. At the tip of its tail, there was a shiny spike that looked like a dagger. Its body was well-built. Upon closer inspection, the tail of its head, legs, and back were actually covered in neat and fine scales. Under the illumination of numerous rays of light, it glittered. Every scale was the size of an adult's palm. Strong limbs, strong muscles, perfect body shape... It gave off a ferocious and powerful feeling. Spitting his mouth wide open, his saliva fell to the ground piece by piece. It was extremely terrifying.

"Roar!"

The beast let out a long roar, its roar like thunder!

"Snow King Lion!" Yee Chen was dumbfounded and shocked. He never thought that he would encounter a Snow King Lion in Soul Cleaving Stream.

The Profound Beast was divided into nine grades. The first grade to the third grade were low grade Profound Beast. The fourth grade to sixth grade were middle-grade Profound Beast, and the seventh to ninth grade were high-grade Profound Beast. There were also the spirit beasts above the Ninth Grade Profound Beast. Not to mention a spirit beast, Yee Chen had never even seen a Ninth Grade Profound Beast before. Of course, the Profound Beast was also terrifying.

If a man and a beast were to fight, the Ninth Grade Profound Beast would be able to kill a Battle Saint warrior without any pressure. From this, it could be seen that although the Profound Beast was inferior to the legendary spirit beast, but it's also very scary. The Fifth Grade Profound Beast could produce intelligence. The spirit beast in front of Yee Chen was a second grade Profound Beast Snow King Lion. Although it was only a second grade ___ ___, it was not something Yee Chen could easily deal with. A Second Grade spirit beast could rival a High Rank of Battle Master warrior, and Yee Chen was only at the peak of the Mid Rank of Battle Master. It seemed like he had really come up with a bad idea this time.

The Snow King Lion let out a long roar and lunged at Yee Chen. Yee Chen's Profound Qi had been crippled, so he couldn't use the Profound Qi. Instead, he used the Body Technique and let out a long roar!

"Let me see how strong my Body Technique has become."

After saying that, he threw a punch at the Snow King Lion, wanting to fight it head on. The Body Technique was a technique that could train one's muscles and bones. It was a terrifying explosive force that allowed one to use their flexible body to meet enemies.

When the Snow King Lion saw Yee Chen raising his fist to welcome him, the cold light in his eyes became even more intense. He also threw himself at Yee Chen. When the Snow King Lion saw that he was almost in front of Yee Chen, it jumped and pounced at him.

Seeing this, Yee Chen raised his fist and used 120% of his strength to smash towards the Snow King Lion's head. The fist wind drew a trajectory in the air, "Bang!" It violently smashed onto the Snow King Lion's head, but the Snow King Lion was actually unharmed. It was just that it was sent flying. As for Yee Chen, he was shaken by the rebound force, and was forced back bit by bit. Yee Chen's foot stepped on the ground behind him. He made a pit on the ground before stopping his retreating body. There was a faint trace of blood on his fist. His entire arm had been pushed too hard. It was trembling.

"What a tough head! I used 100% of my strength, but I didn't expect it to have no effect at all. It should be that scale protecting me." Yee Chen stared at the Snow King Lion, afraid that it would suddenly attack him.

The Snow King Lion felt dizzy from being hit by Yee Chen's strength. It stood up, shook its head, and stared fiercely at Yee Chen.

Suddenly, the Snow King Lion opened its mouth and spat out a small bowl sized fireball. It emitted a hot wave of heat and rushed towards Yee Chen. Yee Chen cursed in his heart and jumped to the side. After dodging the fireball's attack, Yee Chen dodged it and the fireball flew past Yee Chen. He flew towards the ancient tree next to him.

With a bang, the fireball hit the ancient tree. It left a burnt mark on the tree. Yee Chen wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. If he was hit by the fireball... It would be like the ancient tree behind him being charred black. Then, he looked at the Snow King Lion and became even more careful.

The Snow King Lion let out a deep roar. At the same time, its tail lashed out like a giant steel whip. The sound of wind breaking could be heard. The sound was instantly heard. Yee Chen had a feeling that if a Battle Master warrior was hit by this terrifying force... I guess it's gonna be a bloody mess.

"Argh!"

Yee Chen cried out as he watched the steel whip like gigantic tail charging over. He also swiftly stepped forward. He extended both of his hands, which were like metal pincers, and firmly grabbed the tail of the Snow King Lion.

The Snow King Lion furiously struggled. It violently swung its tail. Yee Chen wanted to break free from Yee Chen's hands. How could he let go when he had the chance? He grabbed it again, not letting it break free. Then, he turned his arm around. He grabbed his tail and started to spin around on the spot. The huge force caused the Snow King Lion to leave the ground, and was constantly being forcefully swung in the air.

Yee Chen spun faster and faster. He saw the tip of the Snow King Lion's blade, which looked like the tail of a dagger. It actually gathered a white fog. Yee Chen felt a little uneasy. He then let go of the hand that was holding his tail tightly. The moment he let go of the tail... The tail of the Snow King Lion released an icicle that was about 30 centimeters long. It brushed past Yee Chen's ear and took away the drops of blood.

Yee Chen thought to himself, that was close. If he was even a bit late, the icicle would hit Yee Chen's head, and then there would be a separation between the Yin and the Yang.

At the same time, the Snow King Lion that was sent flying by Yee Chen's strange force smashed countless ancient trees. The sound of tree branches breaking could be heard, and then the Snow King Lion crashed into a relatively thick ancient tree. Only then did it stop. "Bang!" It violently fell to the ground.

This time, the Snow King Lion's injury wasn't light. Its outer surface was covered with scales. Compared to the injuries, the injuries were smaller, but the internal organs in its stomach. It was as if it had shifted its position after being hit. His body trembled as he stood up, wanting to escape.

Yee Chen saw that it wanted to escape, so how could he let it go? It attacked me, so it came and left whenever it wanted to.

Then, Yee Chen rushed towards the Snow King Lion, and saw the fireball and ice cones of the Snow King Lion. Yee Chen was a lot more careful. When the Snow King Lion saw Yee Chen rush over again, it ignored the pain in its body. It jumped up and used its scale-covered head. It rammed towards Yee Chen. Seeing this, Yee Chen chuckled. The Body Technique he had cultivated was a technique that could be used to fight head on. The attack of the Snow King Lion was just as he had expected. Yee Chen's fist, which was as big as a sandbag, collided with the Snow King Lion's head in the air with lightning speed. * Hong Long...... *

"Boom!" Like a thunder, it exploded in the air.

The indestructible fist collided fiercely with the head, crazily releasing a terrifying and strange force. At the point of contact between the two, the air began to boil like water.

After a few seconds of stalemate, it finally ended due to the lack of strength.

"What a terrifying defense! It's more than several times stronger than a Battle Master's defense!" Yee Chen said in shock. He did not expect that the Snow King Lion would still be so tough even though it was injured. Its defense was really strong.

However, in the next second, Yee Chen thought about it and felt relieved. After all, in terms of physical strength, human warriors were naturally much weaker than demon beasts. This was an innate disadvantage.

However, human warriors had a unique advantage. The cultivation of demon beasts was extremely slow. Some of them could only reach the level of human warriors for a few decades after a hundred years or even a thousand years of cultivation.

Yee Chen thought that since the defense of the areas with scales was high, the areas without scales should be relatively weaker.

"Right, it's the stomach!" The Snow King Lion only had the head, legs, back, tail and there were scales on it. Only the stomach did not have any. It seemed that this was his weakness.

At this time, the Snow King Lion was already exhausted. It wanted to stand up, but it was like a deflated balloon as it softly lay on the ground.

Yee Chen took out the sword that he had picked up from the Land of Withered Bones. The sword was engraved with the Nine Dragons Howling Moon Mark. Just as he was about to take the Snow King Lion's life, he heard a woman's voice from behind.

"Brother, please show mercy." It was like the spring water, like a tiny stream that made people hear it. In the hot summer, there was a sweet and chilly feeling. Just as the woman finished speaking... The Snow King Lion on the ground opened its eyes wide and looked at the woman behind Yee Chen. Its eyes were full of grievance.

Yee Chen thought that the Snow King Lion didn't need to be afraid. He only needed to kill it for an instant before turning his head to look at her.

This girl was in her twenties. She wore a blue turquoise shirt and a pleated skirt that was filled with flowers, water, mist, and green grass. She wore a light blue turquoise thin veil, and her shoulders were as thin as a waist. Her skin was as white as an orchid. Her slender waist was slightly bent, and her wrist was in the shape of a fine veil. There was a hairpin on his head with a bit of purple jade attached to it. The tassels sprinkled on her black hair. There was also a blue mask on his face. It was hard to see her face, but it was also faintly discernible. Yee Chen couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

However, in an instant, she regained her clarity. This girl's temperament was especially outstanding, as if she wasn't a mortal.

"May I ask what is the matter with this lady?" Yee Chen looked at the girl and asked doubtfully.

"My daughter, Shangguan Rou. The Snow King Lion in front of this young master is my little girl's pet. A few days ago, I was so playful that I accidentally let it slip away and came here to look for it. I didn't expect that young master would encounter it! " Shangguan Rou especially emphasized the word "encounter."

Yee Chen did not expect that a delicate girl would have a Snow King Lion as her pet. Yee Chen did not mind and smiled.

"I did not mean to hurt it, but it wanted to hurt my life." Yee Chen did not want to be outdone.

"The girl apologized to the young master here. Xiaoxue is playful. She didn't mean to harm you. " After saying that, she struck her palm across the air, and her jade-like hand grabbed toward the Snow King Lion. The Snow King Lion's body slowly floated up and flew uncontrollably toward the woman's hand. A few steps away from Shangguan Rou, Shangguan Rou retracted her hand. The Snow King Lion also slowly landed on the ground.

Yee Chen was shocked. This girl's profound strength was actually this terrifying. He had never heard of any young lady in the Desolate Border who had such profound strength. Even when Yee Chen was at the Battle Lord, he would not be able to do it so freely.

When Yee Chen saw this, he knew that this girl must be from a big sect. Otherwise, how could she have trained so well?

Shangguan Rou used a Divine Sense to scan Yee Chen's body, and then a smile appeared on her face. It turned out that her dantian had shattered.
