159 The Winged Lion

The Guardian of the Forest opened his mouth wide as the crimson fire started to gather in his throat. Zhang Mengyao got closer to him, "Save your mana for later and get the others to keep their distance for the time being,"

The Winged Lion spar the big fireball toward Tang Shaoyang while Tang Shaoyang threw [Wild Axes] in return. The [Wild Axes] pushed through the fireball, but the Winged Lion easily deflected his skill with the wings.

Tang Shaoyang and Zhang Mengyao also avoided the fireball. Aside from it was a powerful fireball, nothing special with that. They easily avoided the fireball.

The Winged Lion did not immediately attack them again as he looked at the wing. A few feathers were cut by [Wild Axes], The Guardian was clearly not happy about that.

"You have angered me, human!" The Winged Lion roared at Tang Shaoyang, but the latter also returned with a roar, a similar roar to the Winged Lion.

[War Cry]

[War Cry activated, boosting your attribute by 40% for seven minutes]

Level 2 [War Cry] showed its change, two minutes longer duration and ten more percent attribute boost. The roar collided that caused the Winged Lion stunned for a moment.

"Lu An, Wei Xi, Zhang Mengyao, and Li Na stay! Yu Shun! You lead the others to leave this place!" Tang Shaoyang arranged his people, five against one Guardian Beast.

He thought this carefully, since [Wild Axes] failed even to scratch the Winged Lion. His subordinates would not be able to help him in the battle, they would be an easy target for the lion. He did not want to lose his people to this kind of battle.

Yu Shun had a useful zombie army, but the zombies were not strong enough to face the guardian beast if his [Wild Axes] was rendered useless. Having him watch others was the better choice.

Tang Shaoyang noticed a few people such as Liang Suyin, Fu Dandan, Dai Wenqian, Wu Xin were hesitating, even Yan Sheng and Tian Donghai did not want to leave, but he yelled to them, "This is an order!!"

Only after that, they started to leave, Kang Xue and her family were in the group as well. But the Guardian Beast would not that happen, "Who says you can't leave! You all should die here!"

The Winged Lion spit another fireball at the group, Zhang Mengyao moved so fast as she stood at the backline. Raising her shield to the incoming fireball, she activated her skill.

[Shield Wall]

"Tsk, what an annoying ability!" The Winged Lion tched as he witnessed his fire was blocked, not surprising though. He had expected the human was this strong to take down five Beast Kings.

While the Guardian Beast had his focus on Zhang Mengyao, Wei Xi and Lu An moved to the bottom of the beast.

Wei Xi activated [Quick Movement], and Lu An activated [Dash], climbing to the tree before they leaped toward the Winged Lion who hovered in the air.

[Elephantine Strike] [Fatal Strike]

The two slashes their swords to the lion's red crimson fur. Their movements were unexpectedly fast that the Winged Lion could not detect the two.

Slash! Slash!

A line of the cut was made at the lion's body.

"Damn! Sneaky human!" The Winged Lion flapped his wing, sweeping the surrounding with a huge gale that sent Wei Xi and Lu An to the ground. The lion opened his mouth to spit yet another fireball to the two, but Tang Shaoyang was already on the top of his head.

[Earth Split]

The opened mouth was forced to close with the stomp. The Winged Lion's head dizzy because of the stomp, his body swaying in the air. Tang Shaoyang was standing on top of the lion's big body, he rushed down.

'Control your mana, imbued your mana with mana, and…" Tang Shaoyang slammed the battle-ax toward the Winged Lion's right-wing.

ROAR!

The Winged Lion roared in pain as the battle-ax managed to cut half of the wing. The wing was dangling to the body, and the Guardian Beast started to fall to the tree.

From the distance, Zhang Mengyao rushed toward the falling Winged Lion. She raised the lane at the height of her shoulder while running toward the lion that just fell to the ground. Her eyes focused on the other wing, the left-wing.

[Unbending Strike]

Zhang Mengyao's body flushed ahead along with the lance. The lance pierced the joint that connected the wing and the body, pierced through half-way. At the same time, another ear-piercing roar escaped the lion's mouth.

Dum! Dum! Dum!

With his body in flame, Moon rushed toward the falling lion. Ten meters from the lion, he leaped to the air, raising his right paw. Right behind his paw, there was a giant paw made of blue fire. He brought the blue fire paw to the Guardian Beast's head.

Boom!

The giant paw slammed to the head and burned the crimson mane. Taking this chance, Wei Xi and Lu An came from the side, they rushed to aim at the lion's eyes with their sword.

"Enough!" The crimson mane and the crimson fur lit up in the fire.

Bwoosh!

The fire swirled and created a big fire pillar to the sky. The impact sent everyone flying back, throwing their bodies to the trees and ground. Li Na watched from afar with her rounded eyes. The fire pillar swirled and reached thirty meters in the air.

The Winged Lion was surrounded by the fire while his wings were left dangling to the side. The blood trickled down from the wing immediately evaporated. His eyes seemed in the fire as well, blazing as he stared at Tang Shaoyang.

The main culprit who caused him in his current condition was him. If not for him cut his wings, he would still in the air, flying majestically, looking down upon the creature below him.

—It seems you will need my help this time. That big guy is as strong as the Death Reaper you fought in the hospital!

Zaneos spoke in his mind.

"You can tell that by just looking?" Tang Shaoyang asked in a surprise before he shook his head, "I appreciate your help, but I want to try to fight the big guy with Karan!"

—Then you should focus on your enemy instead of talking with me!

The Winged Lion vanished, leaving a crimson streak behind. The lion rushed toward Tang Shaoyang, his speed rivaled Lu An's.

Tang Shaoyang's eyes widened in surprise as the lion suddenly in front of him. The lion slammed the claw toward his chest. He was flung backward as a throbbing pain assaulted his chest. Lu An and Wei Xi were rushed forward, preventing the lion from chasing after their Boss.

However, the fire flared up again, swirling around, blasting the two people back. The Winged Lion then chased after Tang Shaoyang who just stood up.

"Die you, puny creature!"

The lion opened his mouth as fierce fire gathered in his mouth. The mouth was right in front of Tang Shaoyang.
