The Wilderness Jungle that spanned the entire East County Divine Land was a place impossible for mortals to cross within a hundred years.
The Wilderness Jungle, vast and boundless, was a domain with fierce beasts rampaging and danger lurking everywhere. Entering it, even a slight misstep could lead to the peril of falling.
The Lion Group Mountain was situated at a junction between the periphery and the central region of the Wilderness Jungle. For eight hundred miles, the Lion Group Mountain was a place where fierce beasts rampaged, extremely dangerous.
Lin Feng and Huo Xuanyi arrived at the Lion Group Mountain. Along the way, Lin Feng and Huo Xuanyi exchanged many words, and from Huo Xuanyi, it was learned that the fierce beast guarding the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit was an unimaginably terrifying entity, a Red Flame Lion Beast King with awakened spiritual intelligence, capable of cultivation.
This Red Flame Lion Beast King was the absolute lord within a few thousand miles. No one dared to provoke this Red Flame Lion Beast King.
This time, Lin Feng and Huo Xuanyi came to steal the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit guarded by the Red Flame Lion Beast King. It was akin to pulling hair from a tiger's back, a suicidal endeavor.
Yet, seeking fortune amidst danger, for a swift breakthrough into the Martial Master Realm, Lin Feng decided to venture a reckless gamble.
"Roar!"
They had just entered the Lion Group Mountain when a roar of earth-shattering magnitude reverberated.
Then, a tiger with a snow-white body, covered in many spots, leaped out.
This tiger, five meters tall and eight meters long, was enormous, its eyes cold and menacing, already harboring wisdom. Its gaze toward Lin Feng and Huo Xuanyi contained a cruel glint.
"Golden-eyed Tiger!" Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise, not anticipating encountering such a fierce beast.
The Golden-eyed Tiger was an extremely rare breed within the Tiger Clan. These tigers were massive and immensely strong. Most notably, they possessed awakened spiritual intelligence like humans from birth, able to absorb the essence of heaven and earth to cultivate, unlike common fierce beasts.
"Roar!" The Golden-eyed Tiger roared again, charging at Lin Feng and Huo Xuanyi to kill.
The enormous claw struck down fiercely on them.
"Haha, Junior Brother Lin, step back. Let me take on this Golden-eyed Tiger," Huo Xuanyi laughed aloud.
Lin Feng nodded, quickly retreating ten meters.
Huo Xuanyi directly confronted the Golden-eyed Tiger. Despite the great difference in size, there was no fear in Huo Xuanyi as he punched toward the Golden-eyed Tiger.
Bang!
The two sides clashed fiercely, powerful waves swept out, and the ground seemed to tremble violently. Huo Xuanyi, ranked seventh among the strongmen of Jialan Academy's Inner Court, didn't fall into disadvantage against the Golden-eyed Tiger.
The man and beast battled for dozens of rounds. Huo Xuanyi seized an opportunity, leaping onto the back of the Golden-eyed Tiger, mounted the giant tiger's neck, and punched its head, making the Golden-eyed Tiger dizzy.
The Golden-eyed Tiger let out a low growl, suddenly twisting its neck and flinging Huo Xuanyi away. It then disappeared into the forest.
"Haha, what a refreshing battle," Huo Xuanyi said with a smile.
"Senior Brother can confront fierce beasts like the Golden-eyed Tiger. It's truly impressive, and Junior Brother admires you," Lin Feng said.
"I merely started cultivation a few years earlier than you, Junior Brother. With your talent, once you break through to the Martial Master Realm, you'll soar and catch up in no time," Huo Xuanyi replied with a smile.
Lin Feng and Huo Xuanyi continued on their way. A day later, they arrived deep within the Lion Group Mountain.
Huo Xuanyi said, "Junior Brother, see that valley ahead? That's the lair of the Red Flame Lion Beast King, and the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit grows there."
"Yes," Lin Feng nodded.
At that moment, four figures flew from a distance.
"Senior Brother Huo, look," Lin Feng pointed to the four figures flying toward them.
"Goodness, these people know the Divine Skills of Sky Flying and Earth Escaping, are they all strongmen of the Yin Yang Realm?" Huo Xuanyi was astonished.
Lin Feng and Huo Xuanyi hid themselves deeply in the forest.
The arrival of the Four Great Strongmen made them sense that some changes might occur here.
These four strongmen were two men and two women.
One was a knight in golden war armor, wielding a Holy Sword, riding a Flying Lion.
Another was a mysterious figure cloaked in a black robe.
There was a beautiful woman in a snow-white gauze dress, with an otherworldly aura like one of the Nine Heavenly Immortals.
And a seductive woman dressed in red gauze, resembling a fox spirit.
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura emanated from the depths of the Lion Group Mountain.
"Roar!"
Then, a low roar echoed through the heavens and earth.
A giant fierce beast, wreathed in flames, flew out.
This fierce beast stood more than a dozen meters high and twenty meters long, seeming to harbor destructive power that could annihilate all.
The Red Flame Lion Beast King emerged.
"Human cultivators, you've crossed the line," the Red Flame Lion Beast King glanced coldly at the four Human Clan strongmen suspended in mid-air.
These four Human Clan strongmen, clearly not all from the same faction, stood separately, also guarding against each other.
The seductive woman giggled, saying, "Red Flame Lion Beast King, we have met before, haven't we? I recall when you transformed into human form for training, we explored an underwater secret treasure together in the overseas world."
"Fenng Yaorao, that was a long time ago. Don't try to make a connection with me now," the Red Flame Lion Beast King clearly didn't intend to give the seductive woman any face. The seductive woman's alluring eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a hint of coldness.
Another woman said, "Now that the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit has matured, we've come to exchange a piece of Xuanming Black Flame Fruit with you, Red Flame Lion Beast King."
"Hmph, don't even think about it. I won't agree," the Red Flame Lion Beast King outright refused.
"Such a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fruit, do you intend to keep it all to yourself?" the man in golden war armor said coldly.
"I've guarded this rare treasure for a hundred years until it matured, and you want to seize it with just a word? Not so easily," the Red Flame Lion Beast King responded with a cold laugh.
The white-clothed woman said, "We'll exchange enough treasures with you, ensuring you won't suffer any loss."
"I'm not interested. Leave quickly, or don't blame me for being ruthless," the Red Flame Lion Beast King's stance was extremely firm, voice cold to the extreme.
The black-robed cultivator sneered, "Since you don't agree, we'll have to use force. Everyone, why not join hands against this Red Flame Lion Beast King, then seize the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit? What do you all think?"
"Fine, let's act," the Four Great Strongmen agreed unanimously.
Boom!
The next moment, the Four Great Strongmen burst forth, rushing toward the Red Flame Lion Beast King.
The Red Flame Lion Beast King roared, "Since you've chosen death, I'll send you on your way."
"Flame Burning Sky."
With the shout of the Red Flame Lion Beast King, the rumbling sound echoed throughout the sky. In the void, endless flames appeared, burning the heavens and earth, enclosing the Four Great Strongmen. The Red Flame Lion Beast King intended to use Demon Fire to incinerate the Four Great Strongmen.
