The pressure on its body intensified and the Golden Lion felt as though it was suffocating!
It had to make a decision!
The Golden Lion's eyes flickered continuously. Finally, it could not hold it in any longer and grit its teeth. "I can be your mount, but we can't sign a blood oath!"
That was its bottom line.
As a member of the Golden Lion race, it would lose its dignity and become the shame of its race if it signed a blood oath with this lowly human!
It wasn't as though the Golden Lion race had never signed a blood oath with humans before.
However, those humans were all unparalleled heroes!
Even if they weren't emperors, they were Mighty Figures, Patriarchs or paragons of a generation that could look down on their peers.
Although the human before it was skilled in some methods and was lucky enough to subdue it, in the eyes of the Golden Lion, Su Zimo was way too weak.
From the bottom of its heart, the Golden Lion still looked down on Su Zimo.
It steeled its heart and sneered, going all out, "If you've got the guts, don't sign a blood oath with me!"
"Sure,"
Su Zimo nodded.
This time round, the Golden Lion was the one stunned.
Initially, it was prepared to die when it said those words – it did not expect Su Zimo to agree so readily.
"Could my provocation have worked?"
"Or is this lad toying with me?"
Those who were not of the same race would definitely have ulterior motives.
If it was in its shoes, the Golden Lion would definitely force Su Zimo to sign a blood oath with it. That way, it could save its energy and not have to worry about the other party's betrayal.
The prerequisite for not signing a blood oath was that the difference in their cultivation realms was too great – at least two or three major cultivation realms.
One of them was not worried about the other party's betrayal at all. Or rather, even if the other party betrayed him, he was confident enough to suppress it!
However, this situation was contradictory.
If Su Zimo was a Void Reversion or the Dharma Daojun, there was no need for him to sign a blood oath with a Jin Dan realm spirit demon.
Just as the Golden Lion's thoughts were running wild, Su Zimo released the spirit art. The Demon Subduing Seal that was as immovable as Mount Meru finally dissipated.
The Golden Lion was overjoyed as if a heavy burden had been lifted from its shoulders!
"This brat actually let me go without signing a blood oath!"
Golden Lion tried its best to control its emotions. It was certain of one thing.
There was definitely something wrong with this thin and weak scholar's head!
"Hahahaha!"
The Golden Lion laughed maniacally in its heart. "He really let me go! From now on, I can leave at any time. Why would I still be your mount? "
Su Zimo withdrew the Demon Subduing Seal and turned around, his back facing the Golden Lion. He looked defenseless as he walked towards the Spirit-Concentrating Fruit.
This Spirit Gathering Fruit naturally belonged to Su Zimo.
Initially, the Golden Lion wanted to leave immediately. However, when it looked at Su Zimo's back view, a murderous glint flashed through its eyes and killing intent surged in its heart!
Right now, as long as it lunged forward, the scholar would definitely not be able to react in time!
Even if he could, the scholar would not be able to release the spirit art Just Now at such a close distance – the scholar would definitely be devoured!
However, on second thought, the Golden Lion hesitated.
No matter what, the scholar had let it off first.
If it were to repay kindness with ingratitude and devour the scholar instead, the Golden Lion would feel uncomfortable and could not bring itself to devour the scholar.
"Bloody hell, are my demon beasts going to die for nothing?"
"Just Now, this brat pressed me against the ground and my head was almost stuffed into the ground. Am I going to let this go just like that?"
The more the Golden Lion thought about it, the angrier it got.
This was intolerable!
It could not let this go just like that!
While it was pondering, Su Zimo had already retrieved the Spirit Gathering Fruit and turned to walk towards it.
The Golden Lion had an idea.
"When this brat mounts me, I'll circulate my Inner Core and expand my flesh and tendons to send him flying and embarrass him!"
"Hahahaha!"
"That's right, let's do that!"
The more the Golden Lion thought about it, the more excited it got and it could not help but grin.
Although Su Zimo had many tricks up his sleeve, he had yet to cultivate divine powers such as mind-reading of the Buddhist monasteries and naturally did not know what the Golden Lion was thinking.
However, when he saw the strange smile on the lion's face, Su Zimo frowned and slapped it casually. "What are you laughing at? Let's go!"
With that said, Su Zimo flipped and rode on the Golden Lion's back.
That slap stunned the Golden Lion.
It froze on the spot and could not react for a moment.
"That man … seemed to have slapped me?"
"H-H-How dare he slap me?!"
The Golden Lion was enraged and let out a deep growl from the depths of its throat. Its Inner Core churned wildly and expanded its flesh. Demonic qi burst forth and its body was about to expand.
Su Zimo was calm and unmoving as a mountain with a mocking look in his eyes.
Thump!
Without Su Zimo making any moves, the Golden Lion sprawled on the ground once more, causing dust to fly everywhere.
"Ugh …"
The Golden Lion groaned in pain.
It felt as though its spine was almost snapped by this seemingly frail scholar!
The scholar's legs clamped down on both sides of its ribs like an indestructible iron hoop – its flesh could not be broken at all.
It was about to suffocate from the pressure, let alone send the scholar flying!
"Impossible!"
The Golden Lion could not believe it and roared internally, "How can this frail scholar possess such frightening physical strength?!"
Right then, the scholar lowered his head slightly and whispered in its ear, "Be obedient and don't harbor any other thoughts."
The scholar's palm landed on its head and he stroked it gently as he spoke.
Although it seemed gentle, the Golden Lion shuddered and a chill ran down its spine!
It could clearly feel that the scholar's fingertips had extended an inch or so and scratched its scalp.
The fingernails were extremely sharp and were even sharper than blades!
It did not doubt that the scholar could create five holes in its head if he exerted strength!
The Golden Lion wanted to cry but no tears came out.
It finally realized that it was not that the scholar was stupid, but that he was strong enough.
He was so strong that he could suppress it at any moment even without signing a blood oath with it!
"Let's go."
Su Zimo's voice sounded.
Suddenly, the Golden Lion felt its body lighten – Just Now's immense strength seemed to have vanished.
However, the scholar was still riding on its body.
"Where did this monster incarnate come from? I'm truly unlucky."
The Golden Lion sighed and realized that it could not resist. Instantly, it turned listless and walked out of the valley slowly.
It was a ferocious beast with a reputation in the Wild Lion Ridge.
After entering the ancient battlefield, it initially intended to defeat all the paragons of the human race and look down on the demons, displaying its might and making a name for itself.
To think that it would suffer such a huge setback after just a few days.
Great, now that it did not have to defeat all the paragons of the human race, it could only be a mount obediently.
What the Golden Lion was most worried about was encountering demon beasts it knew in the ancient battlefield in the future.
If those demonic beasts saw this scene, it would really lose all its face. The Golden Lion Clan's face would be completely lost because of it!
At that thought, the Golden Lion was filled with sorrow and its eyes turned moist.
"Senior Sister, look! That lion seems to be crying from the beating!"
A cultivator at the side whispered.
When it heard that, the Golden Lion's face darkened and it staggered, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Steady yourself!"
Su Zimo hollered.
Piak!
Its head received another slap for no reason.
This time round, the Golden Lion was truly crying.
