The pale yellow light of the setting sun enveloped the entire sky. At this moment, a ming lion was roaring angrily outside the World Destruction Mercenaries’ gate. He then turned his ferocious re towards the humans before him as his nostrils red and produced a scorching breath.
"A spiritual beast?"
The Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries’ Leader had jumped in fright when the ming lion had suddenly appeared. A radiant light then shed in his slightly sharpened eyes. He sneered and said, "No wonder you had the guts to rush out like that, you’ve been lucky enough to obtain a spiritual beast. However, you’re overanalyzing this. A high-level Martial General spiritual beast like this might not even have the ability to defeat my Trusted Advisor yet you want to use it to stop us? You certainly enjoy indulging in wild fantasies. Guards, I want this lion alive!"
"Roar!"
The ming lion roared angrily before he turned into a gigantic ball of fire and mmed right into the humans 1 charging towards it. The people at the forefront were unable to stop themselves as the lion crashed into them and were struck with fear. Their entire bodies then vanished within the lion’s mes.
"Anyone who dares to take one step forward will die without mercy!"
His voice was hoarse and aggressive, filled with a power that one would find difficult to resist. It made the humans who had been charging towards him involuntarily tighten the grip on their weapons. They stumbled back and stared at him inplete terror.
The Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries’ Leaderughed icily as he dered arrogantly, "Trusted Advisor, subdue this spiritual beast. There’s no need for me to handle a high-level Martial General spiritual beast personally."
Even though his Trusted Advisor was only a high-level Martial General, he practices a special method of cultivation which made it so that neither humans nor spiritual beasts who were at the same rank would be of any match to him. Dealing with this insignificant high-level Martial General ming lion would be too easy.
"Remember, finish this off quickly. Do not give them any chance to stall further!"
"Yes, Leader!"
The Trusted Advisor joined his fists and bowed. His figure, which was dressed in green robes, emerged from behind the Leader. He then raised his hand gently and a longsword appeared in his grasp from out of thin air.
"Little lion!"
Gu Lan was nervous as she said, "You must be careful, this Trusted Advisor is very powerful. Generally speaking, most Martial Generals would be no match for him."
"Don’t worry."
As if he could sense the worry in Gu Lan’s heart, the ming lion softened his voice and staredfortingly at the young woman behind him. His fiery red eyes no longer held its initial fierceness as he said, "I won’t let anyone near you."
His voice was just as hoarse as it has always been.
However, it could make one unconsciously feel assured.
He gave one the impression that as long as he said these words, he would not forget to honor his promise, no matter what and without the shadow of a doubt
Even if it meant his death!
"Human."
The ming lion’s eyes moved away from Gu Lan and turned towards the Trusted Advisor before him. His eyes have returned to their cruel re once again as he spoke with malevolence, "Today, as long as I, the ming lion, am here, I won’t let anyone harm Lan’er or Sir Xia!"
"ming lion, you have a decent level of power. If you’re willing to serve me and be my mount, perhaps I’ll spare your life."
The Trusted Advisor paid no attention to the ming lion’s warning and spoke in a mystifying yet disdainful manner.
His words infuriated the naturally vtile ming lion. He roared loudly immediately and charged towards the Trusted Advisor.
This damned human, he dares to humiliate me in this manner! He even said that he wants to use me as his mount! If that’s not an insult, what is?
