Although Lu Xuan successfully dodged the attack with Rushing Thunder Flash, he also opened up a path for the Golden Lightning Mink to escape.
Without Lu Xuan's obstruction, the Golden Lightning Mink, which had lost a large portion of its fur, didn't stop and fled. The direction it fled in happened to be the direction where Xia Ye and the others were.
Lu Xuan seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He immediately activated Rushing Thunder Flash and dashed over. At the same time, he shouted, "Let it escape! Don't attack!"
He already had a clear understanding of the Golden Lightning Mink's strength. With its speed, Xia Ye and the others definitely weren't a match for it. Even if they could block the Golden Lightning Mink, the three of them would definitely be heavily injured, if not dead. In comparison, Lu Xuan would rather not complete this mission.
Originally, when they saw the Golden Lightning Mink rushing over, Xia Ye and Xing Feng were already prepared to attack. In their opinion, the Golden Lightning Mink had already suffered such heavy injuries. No matter how strong it was, it shouldn't be a problem for them to block it.
However, now that Lu Xuan specifically reminded them, he naturally had his reasons. So the two of them immediately stopped their thoughts of attacking and stayed in place, preparing to let the Golden Lightning Mink escape.
However, when it rushed in front of the three of them, the Golden Lightning Mink's figure suddenly paused and actually took the initiative to rush towards the three of them!
It suffered a huge loss at the hands of Lu Xuan. Not only did it lose its spoils of war, it was also heavily injured. It was even forced to use its life-saving technique, greatly reducing its strength. The Golden Lightning Mink was filled with hatred. Since it couldn't take revenge on Lu Xuan, it also decided to kill the two of Lu Xuan's companions as revenge.
Damn it!
Lu Xuan's eyes instantly turned red. His essence energy completely erupted. Rushing Thunder Flash flashed again, raising his speed to the limit!
The Golden Lightning Mink's sudden attack was completely out of the three of their expectations. They didn't think that this beast would be so ruthless. It would rather risk the threat of Lu Xuan to make a move on them.
Xing Feng's reaction was the fastest. With a roar, he flew to the front and slashed his longsword at the Golden Lightning Mink.
After all, the Golden Lightning Mink was heavily injured and was not as fast as before. Xing Feng's sword actually blocked its path, but it was still an existence comparable to a rank seven beast. Its body instantly twisted in midair, and its speed didn't decrease. It went around Xing Feng and continued to rush towards Xia Ye and Lin Xinyi. It was determined to take one of them down with it.
"Damn it, do you think I'm easy to bully?!" Xia Ye roared angrily as he swept his longsword horizontally, trying to force the Golden Lightning Mink away. However, the Golden Lightning Mink was simply too fast. It nimbly landed on Xia Ye's longsword.
Xia Xia Feng's Sword, and Lightning Lightning Mink's Blade.
At this moment, Xia Ye's eyes widened. He had never felt so close to death before. He could even clearly see the five sharp nails on the Golden Lightning Mink's claws. He believed that with just a light swipe, his throat would be instantly torn apart, and he would die instantly.
But at this critical moment, the Golden Lightning Mink's attack suddenly deviated. Its claws struck Xia Ye's shoulder, leaving five deep scratches. Blood immediately gushed out.
The sudden pain woke Xia Ye from his daze. I'm not dead yet! Although his shoulder was in pain, it was nothing compared to death.
The person who saved Xia Ye's life was Lin Xinyi. Although she wasn't strong, the Golden Lightning Mink's defense wasn't strong either. She had just used the Flick technique of the Flowing Water Swordsmanship. Her sword slashed upwards, and directly struck the Golden Lightning Mink's abdomen. The impact caused the Golden Lightning Mink's fatal attack to deviate. It didn't accurately slash Xia Ye's throat, and only struck his shoulder.
The three of them worked together and finally dispelled the Golden Lightning Mink's fierce attack. Xing Feng blocked its charge, Xia Ye faced its attack, and Lin Xinyi broke its fatal attack.
With this delay, Lu Xuan, who had increased his speed to the maximum, finally arrived!
"Go to hell!"
Lu Xuan roared. The Yearning Sword seemed to have turned into an afterimage as it instantly pointed at the Golden Lightning Mink. The tip of the sword struck the Golden Lightning Mink one after another. Every strike was aimed at the Golden Lightning Mink's weakest spot: its neck, eyes, and abdomen...
More importantly, every single one of those attacks was imbued with Lu Xuan's all-conquering sword will. As the sword will invaded the Golden Lightning Mink, its insides were instantly torn to shreds. It did not even have the chance to let out a cry before it died. The mink's body fell to the ground with a thud.
"I thought I was going to die …" Xia Ye held his right shoulder with his left hand, and forced a smile on his pale face. Now that he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel weak all over. So that was the feeling of facing death.
"Don't talk anymore. You did well. Xinyi, quickly bandage Xia Ye's wound," Lu Xuan said as he supported Xia Ye.
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Lin Xinyi quickly took out a white cloth from her storage ring and carefully wrapped it around the wound on Xia Ye's right shoulder. The area that was cut was a bloody mess. It was a terrifying sight. One could imagine that if it wasn't for Lin Xinyi's critical strike, it wouldn't be Xia Ye's arrowhead that was bleeding, but his throat.
"It's nothing. It'll heal after a while. But I'm afraid I won't be able to fight in the short term." Although Xia Ye was grimacing in pain, he still pretended to be brave. However, he was in a good mood. After escaping from death, he realized how wonderful life was.
"I think we shouldn't go for the 7-star mission for now. If we're already in such a state in the sixth-order beast area, the seventh-order beasts are probably stronger than I thought." Xing Feng also started to retreat. For a mission and a few thousand contribution points, it was really unnecessary to risk their lives.
Lu Xuan nodded. Although he wasn't afraid, he had to think for Lin Xinyi and the others, especially now that Xia Ye's right hand was injured and he had lost all his combat strength. If there was any danger, he wouldn't even have the ability to protect himself. He immediately said, "Xing Feng, put away the Golden Lightning Mink and the Iron Armor Bear's bodies. We'll prepare to go down the mountain. This Iron Armor Bear's body is probably worth a few thousand contribution points.
As Xing Feng put away the two pinnacle sixth-order beasts' bodies, Xia Ye had also finished bandaging his wound. Lin Xinyi's bandaging skills were not bad. At least it looked good.
Just as the four of them were about to leave, a sudden noise came from behind them. Lu Xuan turned his head and saw trees falling continuously. It seemed that something powerful was madly rushing towards them!
Xing Feng and the others couldn't help but change their expressions. What was that thing? How could it have such a powerful impact? Perhaps even the Iron Armor Bear from before didn't have such a powerful force?
Moreover, it seemed that there was a seventh-order beast area over there. Could it be that a seventh-order beast had rushed out?
Thinking of this, the three of them revealed a trace of fear. Just now, a Golden Lightning Mink that was comparable to a seventh-order beast had almost killed the three of them. If it was a real seventh-order beast, how powerful would it be?!
"Take Xia Ye and retreat quickly! I'll block it, hurry! " Lu Xuan's expression also became solemn. After the battle with the Golden Lightning Mink, he also knew that the beasts in the mountain behind Wind Sword School were far stronger than he imagined. In the sword forest, he could deal with three warriors at the eighth level of body refinement at the same time. But in the mountain behind, he was afraid that he could only deal with one powerful seventh-order beast.
"Lu Xuan, be careful." Xing Feng exhorted and immediately retreated with Xia Ye and Lin Xinyi. He knew that in this level of battle, he couldn't help at all. Instead, it would distract Lu Xuan. The battle just now was an example.
"Xuan, act according to your strength." Lin Xinyi was also worried for Lu Xuan. She didn't think that there would be so many accidents this time. They were about to leave, but they still encountered a battle.
As the three of them retreated at lightning speed, Lu Xuan also felt relieved. Now that he was alone, he could fight freely. After thinking for a moment, he immediately put away the Yearning Sword, and the Mystic Iron Sword instantly appeared in his hand.
The guy that rushed over looked so fierce. He was afraid that it was a strength-type beast. The Yearning Sword might not be suitable for battle. On the contrary, the Black Iron Sword was more suitable for head-on clashes.
With the Black Iron Sword in his hand, feeling the weight in his hand, Lu Xuan's fighting spirit became stronger and stronger. Come on, let me see how strong a seventh-order beast is!
"Are there any disciples from the inner sect in front? Help me stop this Striped Flame Tiger. I will reward you handsomely after this! " A voice suddenly came from afar. Listening to the direction, it was right behind the beast. It seemed that this beast was being chased by them and didn't know which way to run.
Lu Xuan's heart stirred. Striped Flame Tiger? Wasn't that the target of their seven-star mission?
Before Lu Xuan had time to think, a deafening roar was heard. The beast had already broken through the shrubs in front of Lu Xuan. A ferocious tiger with fiery red stripes all over its body suddenly appeared in front of Lu Xuan.
It was the Striped Flame Tiger!
However, the situation of this Striped Flame Tiger didn't look good. One of its ears was already gone, and its body was covered in wounds. Its breathing was chaotic. It was obvious that it had experienced a huge battle.
But even so, the powerful aura belonging to a seventh-order beast didn't diminish in the slightest. Instead, because of the pain, it had completely stimulated its ferocity, making it look more dangerous than usual.
Facing this powerful seventh-order beast, Lu Xuan held the Black Iron Sword in one hand. His mind was as calm as an ancient well. He stood firmly on the spot, blocking its path.
Seeing that someone was blocking its path, the Striped Flame Tiger only paused for a moment. Immediately after, it revealed a ferocious expression. Its mouth was full of sharp teeth, chilling people's hearts.
It suddenly exerted force on its hind legs and leaped with all its might. Carrying an incomparably powerful aura, it directly pounced towards Lu Xuan. It was as if it didn't care about this weak human in front of it.
