“Father found it by chance.”
“It is inherently cruel and belligerent, making it very difficult to tame. This time, Chu Canyuan and the other one will not escape even if they have wings.”
Ye Jiangzhi sensed something amiss and spoke, "But I don't think this Flame Demon Lion's bloodline is very pure."
Guan Bu looked at Ye Jiangzhi, not understanding why.
“How did you come to that conclusion?”
“Look closely at that Flame Demon Lion. It shows no hostility towards Chu Canyuan and the other, but it is full of vigilance towards us.”
Guan Bu laughed out loud, “You are too suspicious. How could they possibly subdue the Flame Demon Lion that even my Father failed to tame?”
While Guan Bu and Ye Jiangzhi were talking, Chu Canyuan and Guan Yi were also discussing countermeasures in low voices.
“We have the Flame Demon Lion; perhaps the two of you can fight them.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Canyuan tilted his head to look at Guan Yi, thinking bitterly, *Young Master, if you aren't going to exert yourself, please don't give reckless orders, okay?*
The two met eyes and immediately reached a conclusion.
“Run!”
Chu Canyuan and Guan Yi bolted toward the depths of the mountain forest, with the Flame Demon Lion closely pursuing Chu Canyuan.
Guan Bu immediately became interested upon seeing this.
“Now that’s the reaction I should get when I show up!”
Then, his feet generated wind as he chased directly after Chu Canyuan and the other.
“I think what you said has some merit. That Flame Demon Lion is sticking closely behind them but shows no intent to attack.”
Guan Bu also noticed the anomaly with the Flame Demon Lion, but he still found it hard to believe.
“Then let me test this beast!”
Ye Jiangzhi landed heavily on the ground, his gaze fixed tightly on the Flame Demon Lion not far away.
“Chang Ye!”
A profound purple long spear flew over from the opposite side, slicing through the vast sky, its sound echoing long, like a dragon's roar and a tiger's howl.
The long spear shot directly toward Chu Canyuan and Guan Yi.
Chu Canyuan had no time to react, but the Flame Demon Lion behind him let out an angry roar, then leaped up and directly batted the long spear away.
“As expected!”
Guan Bu and Ye Jiangzhi were greatly shocked by this sight.
“This wicked beast! What trickery has it fallen for!”
“What should we do, Second Young Master? This is a bit tricky.”
Guan Bu’s eyes were filled with anger as he glared fiercely at Chu Canyuan and the Flame Demon Lion protecting the two of them.
“It’s just a beast that doesn't understand human speech; kill them all together.”
Guan Bu no longer cared how much his Father doted on this Flame Demon Lion; right now, he only wanted to take the lives of Chu Canyuan and Guan Yi.
Anyone who obstructs will be killed as well.
Ye Jiangzhi looked at the Flame Demon Lion with anticipation.
“I’ve been waiting for you to say that, Second Young Master.”
“Buzz!”
The long spear flew back into Ye Jiangzhi’s hand, the shaft trembling and emitting bursts of spear-song.
The next second, Ye Jiangzhi vanished. By the time Chu Canyuan could clearly see Ye Jiangzhi’s figure again, Ye Jiangzhi was already in front of Chu Canyuan and the others.
“So fast!”
Ye Jiangzhi held the spear with one hand, sweeping the tip in a perfect arc upwards from below.
The Flame Demon Lion’s massive claw slammed down from the completely opposite direction.
The spear tip and the sharp claw collided, pushing each other away.
Just as Chu Canyuan was about to step forward to help, Guan Bu descended from the sky and appeared behind Chu Canyuan and Guan Yi.
“Your opponents are me.”
Guan Bu thrust both fists out, aiming straight for the chests of Chu Canyuan and Guan Yi.
Chu Canyuan threw out a punch to meet it, but then suddenly remembered something and looked sharply at Guan Yi beside him.
Guan Yi was seen offering no resistance and was sent flying backward weakly.
Chu Canyuan retreated with the momentum, widening the distance between himself and Guan Bu.
He rushed to Guan Yi’s side, feeling somewhat confused and worried.
“Little Young Master, things have come to this; are you still going to hide your strength?”
Guan Yi clutched his chest with a troubled expression.
“Wait!”
Guan Bu slowly walked toward Chu Canyuan and Guan Yi.
“Third Brother, you never cultivated since you were young; what do you have to compete for the position of Young City Lord?”
“Wouldn’t it have been better to remain a dissolute young master? Why did you have to come block my path?”
Chu Canyuan helped Guan Yi stand up, putting on an expression of being at a loss.
Seeing this, Guan Bu was ecstatic inside; his vanity was greatly satisfied.
“The Second Young Master’s mind... if he becomes the Young City Lord, Jade City will surely have a hard time in the future,”
Chu Canyuan looked at the self-assured Guan Bu with some disdain.
“Although I don’t know what method you used to make the Flame Demon Lion obey you,”
“It’s not just you who has trump cards!”
Guan Bu pulled out a Talisman from his Storage Ring.
“Activate!”
The Talisman instantly shone with Golden Light, and a powerful blast of air erupted from it.
Guan Bu and the others all raised their arms to resist the wind pressure.
The surrounding trees shook violently, as if they were about to be uprooted at any second.
When calm returned, Guan Bu looked at Chu Canyuan with a smug expression.
“This Boundary Reincarnation Talisman was specifically made to deal with you.”
“Within the range controlled by this Talisman, any Body Protecting Magic Treasure will be ineffective.”
“I know you only won against Ye Jiangzhi by relying on external power.”
“Without that power, killing you is as easy as turning my hand.”
Although Chu Canyuan didn't know what Guan Bu was referring to, he knew that something in his embrace had indeed saved him several times.
“So what if you are a Core Disciple of Medicine Immortal Valley?”
“We’ll just say you died by accident; what can they do?”
Guan Yi’s eyes widened as he looked at Chu Canyuan, his face filled with disbelief.
“You are... one of the People of Medicine Immortal Valley?”
Chu Canyuan froze on the spot because he himself didn't know how he suddenly acquired the identity of a Medicine Immortal Valley Disciple.
“Medicine Immortal Valley, fine. Take the blame for me first.”
Chu Canyuan turned to look at Guan Yi, a smile that couldn't be fathomed playing on his lips.
“Guan Bu, you are truly insane!”
“You dare touch someone from Medicine Immortal Valley? Aren't you afraid they will take their anger out on Jade City?”
Guan Yi couldn't fathom where Guan Bu got the courage to challenge Medicine Immortal Valley.
“Third Brother, the dead cannot defend themselves. Once he becomes a corpse, whatever I say he is, he is.”
Guan Yi shook his head, clenched his fists, and murmured, “Truly hopeless.”
Just then, Ye Jiangzhi suddenly shouted.
“Hurry up, Guan Bu! This Flame Demon Lion is too troublesome. Finish them off quickly and come help me.”
Guan Bu raised an eyebrow and said with some reluctance, “I wanted to spend a little more time with my dear brother, but I have no choice.”
“Then let me spend a little more time with your corpse.”
“Bang.”
Guan Bu took a step out, and the next second he was in front of Chu Canyuan and Guan Yi, the ground beneath his foot cracking into a deep pit.
Chu Canyuan was greatly alarmed, not expecting Guan Bu’s speed to be this fast.
Spiritual Power condensed in his left hand, and Chu Canyuan threw a punch, but Guan Bu merely extended two fingers and easily blocked it.
Then, his left leg kicked Chu Canyuan’s abdomen at extreme speed.
Chu Canyuan staggered back several steps from the impact, clearly feeling his ribs break, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“So strong, even a bit stronger than Ye Jiangzhi was that day.”
“Little Young Master!”
Guan Bu said with contempt, “You should worry about yourself more.”
He then walked in front of Guan Yi and put on an expression of great pain.
“Third Brother, don't blame Second Brother; Second Brother is also forced into this.”
