Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"This won't work, that won't work, are we just supposed to stand here and wait to die?"

Seeing that Ren Xuanfei immediately rejected his suggestion, Lu Feng's expression also turned ugly.

After all, his Yuan Power cultivation was only at the seventh level of the Condensation Realm, and the Yuan Power in his dantian was not inexhaustible. If this continued, he would most likely die!

As for Ren Xuanfei, although her cultivation was slightly better than Lu Feng's, she was only at the first level of the Meridian Opening Realm. She was also unable to sustain a prolonged battle and could not outlast the Undying Bone Lion in front of her.

Roar!

Inside the main hall, the Undying Bone Lion let out another thunderous roar, then charged towards Lu Feng and Ren Xuanfei like a rampaging chariot, clearly not intending to give them a chance to catch their breath.

"Bloodthirsty Gun, break!"

Faced with the Undying Bone Lion's proactive attack, Lu Feng dared not be negligent. He immediately drew the Bloodthirsty Spear from behind him and thrust it forward with all his might in mid-air. His Yuan Power surged out like a tide, transforming into countless blood-red spear shadows with earth-shattering momentum!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The crimson spear shadows rained down on the Undying Bone Lion like a storm, sending sparks flying and the sound of metal clanging, but they did nothing to stop the latter's charge, as if it were mud sinking into the sea!

"What?!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Feng's expression changed slightly. He subconsciously drew his gun to defend, and at the same time, layers of dragon scale armor surged from his body. He also released the Yuan Power in his Dantian without reservation, almost to its limit!

Bang!

A deafening roar resounded, and the next moment Lu Feng was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string. His face was pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, indicating that he was seriously injured.

"What a hard skull...!"

He struggled to his feet and slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Then he glanced at the Bloodthirsty Gun stuck upside down beside him.

The once vibrant Bloodthirsty Spear had become much dimmer, and even the sharpest blade had several tiny nicks, with a faint crack visible inside, seemingly unable to withstand the direct impact of the Undying Bone Lion.

After all, the Bloodthirsty Spear is only a fourth-grade spiritual treasure, while the Undying Bone Lion is not only powerful, comparable to a first-level Spirit Soul Realm expert among human martial artists, but its skull is also incredibly hard, almost shattering even a fourth-grade spiritual treasure!

"No, if this continues, the Bloodthirsty Gun will probably be destroyed on the spot...!"

A flicker of heartache crossed Lu Feng's face. The next moment, he gritted his teeth and put the Bloodthirsty Gun back into his storage ring. "Damn it, I need to think of another way to subdue this beast...!"

...

Inside the hall, on the other side

Like Lu Feng, who was also locked in a fierce battle, Ren Xuanfei was in a precarious situation. She could only rely on her agile movements to dodge, and could not directly confront the Undying Bone Lion's repeated attacks.

"Damn it! I should have known better than to rush off in the first place. I forgot to ask my elder brother for guidance on how to find the core of the Azure Sea Illusionary Spirit Map..."

She flashed to the side, her pretty face full of solemnity, seemingly knowing that continuing the battle would be very disadvantageous for her.

Roar!

However, before Ren Xuanfei could catch her breath, the Undying Bone Lion attacked again, opening its fangs and biting at the one in front of it, intending to tear it apart!

"The Thousand Transformations of the Spirit Phoenix!"

At the critical moment, Ren Xuanfei's figure twisted and changed, then split into three, turning into three streams of light and dissipating, easily escaping from the fangs of the Undying Bone Lion. It seemed to be some kind of advanced martial art.

Swish!

As the light faded, Ren Xuanfei's figure reappeared, but before she could recover, a deadly killing intent descended once more, causing her pretty face to change drastically.

"not good!"

Suddenly looking up, Ren Xuanfei saw the enormous paw of the Undying Bone Lion right in front of her. Despair flashed across her pretty face, and her beautiful eyes were filled with terror.

"Brother, I will never see you again..."

"If I had known this would happen, I should have listened to you and not run around like that... Waaah!"

Ren Xuanfei closed her eyes in despair, seemingly knowing that she could not escape death.

Swish!

Just as Ren Xuanfei was in despair, a streak of crimson light flashed by, then suddenly swept her up, narrowly escaping the trampling of the Undying Bone Lion.

"Miss Ren, are you alright?"

With a steady landing, Lu Feng glanced at Ren Xuanfei, who was pale in his arms, and asked her in a low voice with concern.

"I...I'm not dead?"

Slowly opening her eyes, Ren Xuanfei's face was still somewhat shaken. She instinctively hugged Lu Feng's neck tightly, as if she was really frightened. Her delicate body trembled slightly, making her look quite pitiful.

"Don't worry, you're still alive."

Seeing that Ren Xuanfei's face had turned pale and she was no longer as willful and arrogant as before, Lu Feng smiled teasingly, "Miss Ren, if you like hugging me, I have no objection, but could you please be a little gentler? Let me at least catch my breath..."

"Oh....!"

Seemingly finally realizing what was happening, Ren Xuanfei let out a scream and quickly broke free from Lu Feng's embrace. Her pretty face was flushed red, like a ripe apple, and her voice became somewhat flustered, "You...you...you..."

"You didn't do anything to me just now, did you...!"

"Don't worry, although you used to call me a lecher, I am not really a lecher."

Lu Feng shrugged, then spread his hands outwards, "On the contrary, Miss Ren, you were fiddling around and almost got me trampled into a meat patty by that immortal bone lion..."

"Ah! I, I didn't mean to...!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of shyness flashed across Ren Xuanfei's beautiful eyes, and she said weakly, "Lu Feng, I'm so sorry about what happened earlier..."

"Holy crap, this unreasonable and temperamental woman actually apologized?"

Lu Feng was quite surprised by Ren Xuanfei's initiative to apologize, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It seems that his heroic rescue wasn't entirely in vain; at least Ren Xuanfei owed him a great favor, which might be very useful if he manages to escape alive in the future!

"Miss Ren, more urgent than this is finding the array core of the Azure Sea Illusionary Spirit Diagram. Otherwise, if this drags on, neither of us will have any chance of winning..."

Composing himself, Lu Feng glanced at Ren Xuanfei beside him again.

"Um...!"

Ren Xuanfei nodded emphatically, a resolute look returning to her pretty face. "Although the exact location of the core of the Azure Sea Illusionary Spirit Diagram is unknown, as long as we break through it one by one, we will eventually find the true core. Even if the chances of success are slim, it's better than waiting to die!"

"Miss Ren, I'll distract this beast for now. You find the key to the formation and destroy it!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng nodded slightly, then turned his gaze back to the imposing Undying Bone Lion not far away, seemingly sharing the same thought.
