After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

That's a joke!

Xuanhu Zhenren and the white tiger beneath him exchanged a glance, their minds in sync, and a murderous intent flashed in their eyes at the same time.

"good!"

He let out a low shout and suddenly sprang into action!

"Then let me experience your superior skills, fellow Daoist!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the white tiger beneath him flapped its wings and transformed into a streak of white light, swooping down towards Kongkong'er!

At the same time, the Purple Jade Lion King roared, and the purple crystal on its head suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and a thick purple beam of light shot out!

"roar--!"

Although it didn't know who this suddenly appearing young man in white was, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Let's join forces and take down this most arrogant one first!

Two terrifying forces, one from the left and one from the right, crashed down on Kong Kong'er!

Lin Fengmian watched this scene from the shadows, secretly anticipating what was to come.

beat!

Fight!

It would be best if both sides suffered heavy losses!

Especially Kongkong'er, it would be better if he were dead!

He held his breath, staring intently at the sky, wanting to see just how capable the seventh young master of the Kong family really was.

Why are they so arrogant?

Why did he dare to face the combined attack of two Core Formation cultivators and a peak third-tier demonic beast alone?

He was confident that what happened next would give him the answer.

Whether Kongkong'er wins or loses, he can see through the opponent's true nature.

If True Man Xuanhu and the Purple Jade Lion King could severely injure the opponent...

That would be great!

Lin Fengmian curled his lips into a cold smile, concealed himself even further, and gripped the jade pendant in his hand even tighter.

Xuanhu Zhenren and Ziyu Shiwang exchanged a glance.

In that instant, the two long-time adversaries simultaneously understood the meaning in each other's eyes—

Let's join forces and take down this most arrogant one!

Say.

"roar--!"

The Purple Jade Lion King was the first to leap up, its massive body like a purple meteorite, pouncing fiercely towards Kong Kong'er!

At the same time, Master Xuanhu roared, his tiger claws tearing through the air with a piercing shriek, blocking Kongkong'er's escape route.

One left and one right.

One on one.

The coordination was seamless.

however--

Kongkong'er's lips curled into a cold smile.

"this one?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly swayed in place!

"Phantom Clone!"

Three identical figures appeared out of thin air in mid-air!

Every single one of them, whether it was their aura, expression, or spiritual energy fluctuations, was completely identical, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake!

Xuanhu Zhenren's pupils suddenly contracted!

His tiger claws slammed down on one of the figures—

"Pfft!"

The figure instantly transformed into a cloud of white mist and vanished without a trace.

fake!

At the same time, the Jade Lion King's claws tore apart another figure—

It's fake too!

"It's behind!"

Master Xuanhu turned around abruptly, only to see a third figure standing with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile.

"Too slow."

Kong Kong chuckled softly, and the figure flickered once more!

Three more phantoms!

Master Xuanhu, enraged by the mockery, roared:

"Playing hide-and-seek with me?!"

He took a deep breath, his chest suddenly bulged, and a terrifying spiritual power frantically gathered within his body!

immediately--

"roar--!"

A deafening tiger roar erupted from his mouth!

The sound waves, as if they were tangible, transformed into visible ripples that swept outwards in all directions!

Wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, and the trees on the ground were instantly reduced to dust!

The three phantoms were almost simultaneously stunned by the impact of the sound waves!

Two of them shattered on the spot, turning into white mist and dissipating.

And the third one—

Although the trembling was intense, it did not subside!

"Found it!"

The Purple Jade Lion King's eyes shone brightly with purple light, and the purple crystal on its head suddenly burst forth with dazzling light!

This is the moment it has been waiting for!

Taking advantage of the moment when the phantom disappeared, its massive body transformed into a streak of purple light, opened its blood-red maw, and viciously bit at the real figure!

Sharp teeth, a foul stench!

If this bite lands firmly, even a cultivator at the peak of the Core Formation stage would be torn to shreds!

however--

Kongkong'er was still smiling.

That smile was so casual, as if he were watching the dying struggle of two ants.

The next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot!

Like wisps of smoke scattered by the wind, leaving no trace.

The Purple Jade Lion King's bite missed, its sharp teeth clashing together with a loud "crack," leaving it somewhat dazed.

Where are they?!

It suddenly turned its head and searched around.

Behind.

Kongkong'er's figure appeared like a ghost three zhang behind it.

He stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in white, his clothes so white they were spotless, not even a speck of dust on the hem.

Those narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes coldly gazed at the massive body of the Purple Jade Lion King, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"A beast is a beast."

He murmured softly, slowly raising his right hand.

With fingers slightly bent, make a loose grasp.

"Kong Mingshou."

This grab produced no spiritual energy fluctuations, nor any fancy phenomena.

It was that simple, understated.

It was as if I were simply reaching out to catch a butterfly that was flying by.

But the Jade Lion King only felt an invisible force pressing down from all directions, firmly imprisoning its massive body in place!

It tried to struggle, but found that its body simply wouldn't obey its commands!

Muscles are stiff, bones are creaking, and even breathing has become difficult!

"roar--!"

It roared, straining its spiritual power to break free from this invisible constraint.

But that force was like a net, tightening and tightening!

next moment--

The Purple Jade Lion King felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if something was being forcibly torn from his body!

"Awooo—!"

It let out a piercing scream, and its massive body trembled violently in mid-air!

A purple light slowly emanated from its chest.

Within that light was a fist-sized purple bead, crystal clear, with faint purple light flowing inside, radiating a chilling spiritual energy fluctuation.

It was the inner core that the Purple Jade Lion King had nurtured for hundreds of years!

"No--!"

The Purple Jade Lion King stared in horror as it watched helplessly as its inner core was dragged away by that invisible force and flew towards Kong Kong'er.

It desperately tried to recall its inner core, but found that the spiritual energy within its body was in complete chaos and was out of control!

Once the inner elixir left the body, its enormous form began to shrink rapidly.

Its purple fur became dull and lifeless, its muscles collapsed, and its bones shrank. In the blink of an eye, it transformed from a majestic, peak-level third-tier demon beast into a withered old lion.

"Bang!"

It crashed heavily to the ground, creating a shallow crater and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Those beastly eyes, which had once shimmered with purple light, were now cloudy and lifeless, and the beast could only gasp weakly, on the verge of death.

Kongkong'er stretched out his right hand, and the purple inner core landed steadily in his palm.
