"Ah, Heavenly Sword!" "Could it be that the you today will die miserably here?"

Skysword, who had been sent flying through the air, kept thinking about this question repeatedly in his mind.

"No, no, no —!"

He then began to prepare a response.

"Roar!"

Just as Tian Jian was thrown to the ground once more, another beast-like roar followed closely behind.

When the Heavenly Sword heard the roar, it did not even need to think before it knew that the giant lion was attacking again.

"Pah!"

Without any hesitation, he slapped the ground and rolled into the forest to the side.

This move might not look good, but it was very practical.

"Bam!"

The moment that Tian Jian rolled away, the ground that he was lying on began to emit a trembling sound.

A huge crater that was more than ten feet deep was formed by the claw of the giant lion on the ground.

"So close, so close!"

When Tian Jian saw the deep hole, he could not help but exclaim in his heart.

Tian Jian then moved toward the place where there were a lot of trees and entered with a flash.

As for the enormous body of the giant lion, once it entered the dense forest, it discovered that it was a little dissatisfied.

Even so, the giant lion did not want to miss the chance to kill Tian Jian.

"Woosh, woosh, woosh ~ ~ ~!"

After which, he saw a small figure hiding behind a large tree.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Kacha, kacha, kacha ~ ~ ~!"

"..."

However, the instant this smaller figure dodged the huge trees, the sounds of trees being broken and flying could be heard.

In an instant, a small figure used the cover of the trees to move through the forest with a large figure.

Wherever the two figures passed by, they would see the rows of trees falling one after the other.

As time passed, Tian Jian also used the cover of the trees to hide, gradually recovering from his injuries.

However, it was because of this man and beast chasing each other that a complete tree in this dense forest with a radius of several hundred feet was difficult to see.

"Ao, ao, ao ~ ~ ~!"

In the process of chasing after Tian Jian, the giant lion had consumed a large amount of its internal spiritual energy.

As time passed, the giant lion had used up its inner spirit, yet it could not even touch Tian Jian's leg, causing it to bellow in anger. "Aoo …"

However, as more and more of the trees disappeared, the number of trees that were used as cover by Heavenly Sword also gradually decreased.

At a glance, it was a mess of broken branches.

When Tian Jian felt that his injuries were gradually recovering, and when the number of trees around him that could be used became fewer, he knew that it was time for him to change his tactics.

Without any hesitation, he gripped the wooden staff in his hand and charged towards the giant lion that was charging towards him.

"Roar!"

As for the giant lion, it had been chasing after and attacking Tian Jian. It did not react in time. At this moment, Tian Jian actually dared to take the initiative to attack it. It could not help but roar in surprise.

However, just as the giant lion roared, a powerful aura burst forth from Tian Jian's body.

As he waved his wooden staff, fire like spirit energy gushed out and condensed in between his wooden staff.

"Six Words, Ten Thousand Fires!"

"Six Words Divine Shift!"

At that moment, Tian Jian used the 'Six Words Divine Shift' step and the wooden staff in his hand struck out with the 'Six Words Thousand Flames'.

"Whew, whew, whew ~ ~ ~"

In an instant, Tian Jian's figure flashed as he waved the wooden staff in his hand. Flames flashed before his eyes as if thousands of fire staffs had descended, making it difficult for the giant lion to differentiate between the two.

However, each fire staff contained an extremely strong fire aura, as if there were countless streams of fire flowing within them.

"Huff, puff, puff!"

In that instant, the flames from the thousand staff flames immediately stirred up the air in front of them.

This type of attack didn't seem to be concentrated, nor was it too strong. However, the attack was illusory and it was hard to determine which staff fire was the most powerful in a short period of time.

Furthermore, Sky Sword's' Six Words Thousands of Flames', combined with the 'Six Words Divine Shift' footwork, made the giant lion even more dazzled.

The reason why Tian Jian made such a move was naturally to avoid a head-on clash with the giant lion.

This tactic of Heavenly Sword's could be considered to be more brilliant.

Although the giant lion was still very strong, it had consumed a lot of its internal soul when it was chasing after Tian Jian.

At this moment, if he were to use the Void Summoning Spirit that had consumed its inner spirit, the final balance of victory would definitely be on his side.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The giant lion was unable to see where the Heavenly Sword Wooden Staff was and could only randomly swipe at it with its huge claw.

"Swish …"

Although the lion was still scanning the area, some of the flames still landed on its body.

"Ahh!"

Although these flames could only burn its skin, it still made the giant lion extremely angry!

Seeing how effective his actions were, Tian Jian could not help but try the exact same move once more.

However, although the giant lion was enraged and was unable to see through the moves used by Tian Jian, that did not mean that it would never be able to see through them!

Once Tian Jian's move had worked, it should have been followed up with another move.

Otherwise, demon beasts with a higher level than him wouldn't make the same mistake after suffering a loss once.

Therefore, when the Heavenly Sword struck out again with the 'Six Words and Thousand Flames', the lion had already noticed where the Heavenly Sword was first.

Thereafter, the staff that was staring fixedly at the first attack of Heavenly Sword was unrelenting.

"Ahh!"

This time, the lion seemed to have noticed where Tian Jian's wooden staff was and let out a proud roar.

"Bam!"

After that, it suddenly took a step forward and its huge body immediately charged toward where it thought the Heavenly Sword Wooden Staff was.

Just as it flew out, its huge claw moved and an incomparably fierce aura rippled from it. That aura caused the air to tremble.
