806: Kill Zhang Beiliang

Given Yang Lingchen's speed, if he truly wanted to escape, it would be difficult for Zhang Beiliang to catch him.

While escaping, Yang Lingchen didn't forget to counterattack, throwing back poison pills from time to time to disrupt his opponent's pursuit rhythm.

After about half an hour, Yang Lingchen had entered the deepest part of the jungle, but Zhang Beiliang was still hot on his heels, showing no intention of giving up.

Just then, Yang Lingchen's ears twitched. A cold sneer played at the corners of his mouth, and he suddenly changed direction.

"Stinky brat! Let's see where you can run!" Zhang Beiliang's voice carried a chill as he accelerated his pursuit.

About fifteen minutes later, a wild and seductive sound drifted out from a cave.

Yang Lingchen quickly suppressed his aura to the limit and threw several poison pills into the cave.

Having done this, his figure instantly transformed into a streak of white light and vanished from the spot.

"Rumble...!"

Following a loud crash, two giant Sky Lions—one male and one female—rushed out of the cave in a rage.

Just then, Zhang Beiliang caught up from a distance. When he saw the two furious giant Sky Lions, he flew into a rage, realizing he had been played.

"Damned human, how dare you disturb this king's business! Today, I will swallow you alive."

The male Sky Lion let out a roar, then leaped forward, pouncing directly at Zhang Beiliang.

The Sky Lion couple, who were in the middle of their business at a critical moment, were suddenly interrupted by several poison pills. The male Sky Lion, in particular, was so startled that he went limp on the spot, showing just how furious he was.

Facing the male Sky Lion's attack, Zhang Beiliang could only counterattack passively.

For a time, the battle was extremely brutal. Powerful waves of energy ravaged the surroundings, and countless Yao Beasts were blown into shredded meat by the overflowing energy.

Meanwhile, the female Sky Lion watched Zhang Beiliang closely to prevent him from escaping.

As the battle continued, Zhang Beiliang soon fell into a disadvantage. The male Sky Lion seized an opportunity and slammed a paw into his chest.

"Crack...!"

With a crisp cracking sound, several of Zhang Beiliang's ribs shattered on the spot.

"Pfft...!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth. His figure suddenly flickered, instantly transforming into a blood-red shadow that sped off into the distance.

At this moment, Zhang Beiliang was truly terrified. To escape successfully, he even resorted to a forbidden technique that consumed his Lifespan.

"Roar, roar, roar...!"

Seeing this, the male Sky Lion let out several wild roars to vent his anger. He then led the female Sky Lion back into the cave; now, he only wanted to test his tool to see if it had been frightened out of commission.

Seeing this from not far away, Yang Lingchen turned into a streak of white light and quickly gave chase to Zhang Beiliang.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Since Zhang Beiliang was heavily injured, if he could devour the man, his cultivation level might Breakthrough to the second level of the Golden Immortal Realm in one go. His confidence for the upcoming Grand Competition of the Main Academy would then be even greater.

Tens of thousands of miles away, Zhang Beiliang's face was deathly pale, and his eyes were sinister. He scanned his surroundings and finally spotted a cave nearby. Without a second thought, he flew toward it. He was severely injured and desperately needed a hidden place to heal.

Just then, streaks of purple light sliced through the sky, condensing into a massive battle sword that slashed down heavily toward Zhang Beiliang below.

The heavily injured Zhang Beiliang lunged forward, diving into a nearby thicket and narrowly avoiding Yang Lingchen's terrifying sword strike.

"Little Bastard, it's you."

Realizing what was happening, Zhang Beiliang looked at Yang Lingchen in the air with poisonous eyes. Had he not been severely injured, he would have pounced long ago.

"Old Scoundrel, didn't you want to kill me? Come on! I'm standing right here, kill me!"

Yang Lingchen gave a contemptuous smile. He swung the dragon que sword again, sending a dazzling light slashing toward Zhang Beiliang below.

Enduring his pain, Zhang Beiliang swung his battle sword to meet Yang Lingchen's attack.

His blood energy was heavily depleted; his only chance of survival was to fight Yang Lingchen to the death.

As the two clashed, the surrounding air distorted from the overflowing energy.

Streaks of Sword Qi in the Void Realm continuously slashed at each other.

It was clear that Yang Lingchen held the absolute advantage. After all, the minor injuries he had sustained earlier had long since healed, whereas Zhang Beiliang was severely wounded and had just used a forbidden technique. It was already difficult for him to even struggle against Yang Lingchen.

After fighting for half an hour, Zhang Beiliang began to retreat, looking for an opportunity to escape. He knew that if he continued, he would likely perish here.

"Old Scoundrel, you won't escape today." A playful smirk touched the corner of Yang Lingchen's mouth.

He was in no hurry to fight to the death. After all, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. If he pushed the other party too hard, the consequences could be dire—if the man chose to self-destruct, it would be a huge problem.

Therefore, Yang Lingchen maintained a long-range attack mode, constantly using Sword Qi to wound his opponent.

His plan was simple: keep stalling Zhang Beiliang and deny him any chance to escape.

At this moment, Zhang Beiliang's eyes were filled with despair.

He was at the end of his rope. The Immortal Essence Power in his body was almost entirely depleted. Had it not been for his sheer willpower, he would have collapsed long ago.

Under Yang Lingchen's long-range attacks, the sword wounds on Zhang Beiliang's body multiplied.

"Little Bastard, I'll take you down with me!" Zhang Beiliang's voice carried a hint of a mournful cry as he mobilized his remaining Immortal Essence Power and charged at Yang Lingchen.

"I'm still young; I have no interest in risking my life against you."

A cold sneer appeared on Yang Lingchen's lips. His figure flickered and vanished instantly.

"Boom...!"

The moment Yang Lingchen vanished, a massive crater was blasted into the spot where he had been standing.

With that final strike, Zhang Beiliang's Immortal Essence Power was completely exhausted, and his injuries grew even more severe.

Seizing the opportunity, Yang Lingchen turned the dragon que sword into a streak of light, which instantly pierced Zhang Beiliang's Dantian, pinning him to the ground.

At this point, Yang Lingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Crippling the opponent's Dantian meant they no longer had any power to fight back.

"Little Bastard, I'll wait for you down below. One day, you'll die even more miserably than I did." Zhang Beiliang glared at Yang Lingchen with venomous eyes.

"Old Scoundrel, still acting tough when death is at your door? I truly have to hand it to you."
