Gripping the sword with both hands, steadying his stance, Leo struck directly at the incoming Magic Leopard Bird.
Just as it seemed he would hit, the Magic Leopard Bird’s figure suddenly disappeared from mid-air, then eerily reappeared on Leo’s left and right sides.
Teleportation!?
Two Magic Leopard Birds!?
Leo realized that he couldn’t replace defense with offense and quickly deployed a defensive talisman.
At the same time, the two Magic Leopard Birds lunged towards him from the left and right.
Leo swung the Divine Dragon Sword to the left, leaving his right side open, but with the protective talisman, Leo felt no fear.
After infusing the Divine Dragon Sword with thunderous power using the talisman, the sword sliced half of the left Magic Leopard Bird’s horn.
The left Magic Leopard Bird screamed and fell to the ground.
The right Magic Leopard Bird also shrieked, crashing into an invisible barrier, disappearing in a cloud of black mist upon landing.
“In the cold courtyard under the ninth moon, bathed in celestial grace. Imprisoning spirits, dividing good and evil. The netherworld opens up, life and death embraced. As per the imperial decree, the message of wind and fire is relayed. Swiftly, in accordance with the law, transform!”
Wizard Junior chanted a spell, forming a seal with his hands, striking down towards the fallen Magic Leopard Bird.
The Magic Leopard Bird, whose horn had been halved, suddenly leaped up, doubled in size, its grotesque mouth gaping wide, dripping viscous saliva and dark red matter, a truly revolting sight.
A ball of lightning quickly formed in the Magic Leopard Bird’s gaping maw, then shot out like a cannonball.
Amidst the rolling thunder, the lightning ball tore through the air, first diving into the sky before plummeting downward, disappearing into the earth.
Leo started feeling a tingling sensation of electricity from underfoot, realizing the danger, he swiftly leaped from the ground.
Simultaneously, lightning serpents emerged from the ground, coalescing into lightning, striking upwards towards the sky.
Dozens of lightning bolts, despite Leo’s nimble dodging using the Mysterious Heaven Body Technique, still caught him off guard.
The powerful electric current momentarily caused Leo to lose consciousness, blacking out momentarily before plummeting to the ground.
When Leo regained consciousness, he saw a large cleaver descending towards him.
In a panic, he rolled away just in time to avoid it.
Watching the cleaver sink deeply into the ground, Leo couldn’t help but shudder at the close call.
If it had struck him, he would have been cleaved in two.
At Leo’s current level of cultivation, his recovery ability was formidable, quickly dispelling the discomfort caused by the lightning strike.
He retrieved the Divine Dragon Sword from the ground, raising it to block the descending cleaver.
“Clang!”
A loud clang rang out, Leo’s hand vibrating as the Divine Dragon Sword almost slipped from his grasp. He staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.
The evolved Magic Leopard Bird’s strength proved to be formidable indeed!
As the Magic Leopard Bird’s cleaver broke into two pieces, Leo, taking advantage of the moment, released the Divine Dragon Sword from his grasp as it flew straight towards the Magic Leopard Bird’s chest.
A fatal blow!
The Magic Leopard Bird’s chest spewed out murky fluid as it writhed on the ground, howling in pain.
The Magic Leopard Bird, a creation of Wizard Junior using his primordial magic and consciousness, linked to him, suffered as if it were Wizard Junior himself.
Wizard Junior’s face turned as pale as paper, blood seeping from his mouth and staining his clothes.
Despite his injuries, Wizard Junior’s eyes showed no fear. His expression grew increasingly grim. He retrieved another talisman, dabbed it with blood, pressed a handprint on it, and stuck it to his forehead.
The next moment, Wizard Junior transformed into a black light, diving into the body of the Magic Leopard Bird.
The Magic Leopard Bird, previously wailing on the ground, suddenly rose to its feet. With its right claw, it forcefully yanked out the Divine Dragon Sword embedded in its chest, then plunged the sword into the ground, unleashing a furious roar.
As the roar reverberated, the grass on the ground trembled, sending shivers through Leo’s eardrums, causing a splitting headache.
Leo attempted to recall the Divine Dragon Sword, but to his surprise, the sword refused to obey. The bloodline connection felt sporadic, as if blocked by a mysterious force.
The Magic Leopard Bird possessed by Wizard Junior had eyes that turned crimson, emitting a fierce glare.
Its right claw transformed into a human hand, raising a dark cleaver that reappeared, previously severed by the Divine Dragon Sword.
The Magic Leopard Bird, wielding the cleaver, charged towards Leo once again.
Seeing the Magic Leopard Bird approaching, Leo had no choice but to invoke the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak.
The light mist expanded, exerting gravitational pressure!
“Appear, Purple Radiance!”
A purple glow streaked across the Magic Leopard Bird’s neck.
The head of the Magic Leopard Bird detached from its neck, vile fluid spraying as the massive body lunged forward before collapsing with a thunderous crash.
The purple glow then pierced through Wizard Senior’s horrified gaze, penetrating his body.
Wizard Senior, gripped by terror, fell backward.
With this, the Demon Cultivators Wizard Senior and Wizard Junior met their end!
Retrieving the Purple Radiance, Divine Dragon Sword, and Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak, Leo breathed heavily, recuperating from the consecutive battles that had drained his physical and Spiritual Power.
After resting for over ten minutes, Leo rose from the ground and headed towards Green Plum Village.
Upon reaching the highway, Leo attempted to flag down a passing vehicle but waited in vain as none appeared.
Feeling stranded in the desolate area, Leo walked along the road for over ten minutes until he heard the sound of a car approaching.
Turning around, he spotted a white sedan speeding towards him.
Within moments, a white BMW pulled up next to Leo.
The driver’s window rolled down, revealing a woman’s head. She was not just any woman but an exceptionally beautiful one, lightly made up, and similar in age to Leo.
Leo had encountered many beautiful women before, but this woman gave him a fresh sensation due to her mixed heritage.
From her demeanor, she embodied both the delicate nature of the East and the boldness of the West.
Taken aback, Leo smiled as the woman spoke, “Handsome, aren’t you afraid to be walking alone in such a desolate place?”
Leo chuckled in response, “Beauty, aren’t you afraid to be driving alone in such a desolate place?”
“Exactly because I’m afraid that I stopped the car next to you,” the woman replied with a mischievous smile.
Leo shrugged, “Is this your way of striking up a conversation?”
The woman nodded with a playful air, “It might be. I’m Elizabeth Phillips. What’s your name?”
“I’m Leo.”
“Well then, Leo handsome, where are you headed? I can give you a ride.”
This statement raised Leo’s guard.
