"Bang!" This strike, as if hitting a giant peak, resounded with a huge sound of power exploding.

  "Roar roar!"

  It was unclear whether the Stone Monkey Demon King was angry or in pain, but it immediately roared. However, the force of the dragon's strike only made the Stone Monkey Demon King's massive body retreat three steps, which shows the terrifying nature of its defensive power.

  "Human, I will kill you first." The intelligence of a fifth-order demon beast is no different from that of humans. At the moment when the Stone Monkey Demon King was repelled, it suddenly attacked Li Lin, seeing him as the weakest in terms of strength and the leader among the humans. Killing him might ensure its safety.

  "Shoo shoo..."

  As the shout fell, the Stone Monkey Demon King's huge forelimbs swung out, carrying a streak of yellow light. Its giant palm, with curved fingertips like claws, pierced through the air, and the surrounding air was directly displaced by the force, filled with yellow light, as if it was going to tear apart space itself, and instantly rushed towards Li Lin.

  "How dare you, vile beast."

  Li Lin let out a cold shout, and as he formed hand signs, a massive surge of earth attribute energy exploded from all around, releasing a tidal force of ferocity, instantly converging in the palm print that shot up into the sky.

  The palm print, trailing a series of afterimages, instantly converged like lightning, and then directly collided with the Stone Monkey Demon King's claw mark.

  The two massive forces instantly touched, and then a series of earth-shattering explosions resounded through the space, a violent aura violently spreading in the sky...

  "Boom boom boom..."

  The huge explosion sound echoed among the peaks, the force of the explosion scattering wildly, and Li Lin's body slightly retreated. The Stone Monkey Demon King's strength was indeed formidable, causing some turmoil in his blood, but it was nothing serious.

  The Stone Monkey Demon King's cultivation was in the mid-fifth order, its strength equivalent to a martial general of the fifth or sixth level. Li Lin was not afraid of such strength and could directly confront it without issue.

  "Thump thump!"

  After one attack, the Stone Monkey Demon King's massive body was also shaken back several steps, looking extremely surprised. It had thought the human before it was the easiest to deal with, but his strength was also formidable.

  In that instant, a streak of yellow light flashed, and the dragon's body reappeared in front of the Stone Monkey Demon King, its scales glowing with yellow light and a hint of golden flames.

  The Stone Monkey Demon King was greatly startled, its huge body retreating explosively.

  "Roar! ..."

  The dragon let out a roar from its mouth, the sound echoing like a dragon's chant in the surrounding area, its powerful aura spreading even more violently. This roar seemed to carry a great oppressive force, causing all demon beasts to prostrate and tremble under its aura, even the Blood Lizard, the Twin-Headed Water-Fire Demon Jiao, and others felt panic.

  On the back of the Skywing Snow Lion, Uncle Jiang watched the dragon, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

  All of this happened very quickly. In this moment, the dragon's huge body stood tall, even taller than the Stone Monkey Demon King, and then from the third eye between the dragon's brows, a blinding light instantly enveloped the Stone Monkey Demon King.

  The Stone Monkey Demon King, while retreating, suddenly had a moment of dullness in its gaze, its body instantly unable to move.

  "Blood Soul Mark."

  Li Lin uttered softly, and in the blink of an eye, hand signs converged, a sound of dragon, phoenix, lion, and tiger beast roars faintly transmitted from his palm, followed by an eerie mark appearing in his palm. The mark, resembling a dragon yet not a dragon, a tiger yet not a tiger, with a formidable oppressive force spreading from it.

  In that instant, Li Lin did not hesitate. The Blood Soul Mark was thrown, brutally smashing into the Stone Monkey Demon King's forehead, turning into a cluster of blood-colored light and disappearing.

  In mid-air, Li Lin continued to release a series of palm prints without stopping, changing and emitting a series of eerie glows that directly fell into the Stone Monkey Demon King's forehead.

  This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

  As the third eye of the dragon's blinding light disappeared, following Li Lin's series of eerie glows entering the Stone Monkey Demon King's forehead, the dull look in the Stone Monkey Demon King's eyes seemed to struggle.

  "Beast Control Technique, Suppress." Li Lin uttered lightly, once again a blinding light shot into the Stone Monkey Demon King's forehead, carrying a formidable oppressive force, brutally spreading and crushing out.

  With this final hand print executed, the Stone Monkey Demon King also stopped struggling. When its eyes regained clarity, it looked at Li Lin with submission.

  "Master." In the canyon, the Stone Monkey Demon King, which had just vowed never to submit and was fierce, now respectfully saluted Li Lin.

  Watching all this, Li Xiaobai was extremely surprised. Uncle Jiang at this moment, was also somewhat shocked. Although Li Lin had already talked to him about the Beast Control Technique, seeing it with his own eyes, with his discernment, he naturally understood the subtlety and eeriness of it.

  "Roar!"

  On the side of the mountain, amidst continuous explosive sounds, under the attack of the Blood Jade Tiger, the body of the One-Horned Demon Bull was already weakening, its strength unable to contend with the Blood Jade Tiger.

  "Shoo!" After Li Lin had set the Blood Soul Mark inside the Stone Monkey, he did not stay any longer. In the next moment, he appeared above the massive body of the One-Horned Demon Bull.

  "Blood Soul Mark."

  Li Lin uttered lightly, a mark resembling a dragon and a tiger directly forcibly inserted into the One-Horned Demon Bull's forehead, carrying a formidable oppressive force and the sound of dragon, phoenix, lion, and tiger roars, brutally smashing into the One-Horned Demon Bull's forehead, turning into a cluster of blood-colored light and disappearing.

  As Li Lin's hand signs kept changing, the One-Horned Demon Bull had already started to become dull. Forcibly setting the Blood Soul Mark on the Stone Monkey Demon King, Li Lin knew there would be some trouble. The strength of the One-Horned Demon Bull was indeed weaker, and forcibly setting the Blood Soul Mark was not too difficult.

  With a series of hand signs executed, it didn't take long before the last hand sign with eerie glow was injected into the One-Horned Demon Bull. Li Lin's face also turned somewhat pale. Although the Blood Soul Mark was extraordinary, it was not something that could be easily used. This kind of consumption was enormous, especially in terms of soul power, absolutely massive. Having set Blood Soul Marks on two fifth-order demon beasts, Li Lin was already somewhat exhausted.

  "Master." The One-Horned Demon Bull, as Li Lin withdrew his hand signs, had already been subdued.

  "Roar, damn humans."

  The changes below were observed by the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, but with the Antagonist Feather Peng present, it was somewhat preoccupied.

  "Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, now it's time to skin you." The dragon shouted loudly, its body shrinking to a hundred meters, and in an instant, it leaped onto the back of the Antagonist Feather Peng again.

  "Shoo shoo!"

  The Antagonist Feather Peng once again condensed a blade of light to attack the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao.

  "Shoo..."

  "Damn humans, I will not let you off." Seeing the situation turning dire, the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao's figure explosively retreated, no longer daring to stay, its body turning into a streak of blood-colored light, instantly fleeing.

  "Antagonist Feather Peng, pursue." The dragon shouted loudly, and the Antagonist Feather Peng immediately flapped its wings to chase.

  Watching the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao flee, Li Lin frowned, then spoke a few words to the Stone Monkey and the One-Horned Demon Bull before quickly leaping onto the back of the Skywing Snow Lion. The Taiyin Demon Rabbit, the Twin-Headed Water-Fire Demon Jiao, the Blood Lizard, the Blood Jade Tiger, and a few other large demon beasts shrank their bodies and followed Li Lin onto the Skywing Snow Lion.

  "Do you want me to take action and directly kill the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao?" Bai Ling's voice reached Li Lin's ears.

  "No need." Li Lin smiled slightly. The direction in which the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao was fleeing was towards the ancient domain. Originally, it had chased him throughout the entire Misty Mountain Range; now, it was its turn to taste that feeling.

  "Skywing Snow Lion, chase at full speed." Li Lin commanded softly.

  "Roar..."

  The Skywing Snow Lion flapped its wings at full speed to chase, its massive body turning into a streak of white light, flashing through the sky like lightning. As the king of flying demon beasts, although the Skywing Snow Lion's strength was not as great as the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao and the Antagonist Feather Peng, its speed was not much slower.

  Above the Misty Mountain Range, roars thundered through the sky, and the large demon beast figures passed by, the airflow they brought up blowing the forest within the mountain range into chaos, like a river of airflow flowing through the mountains.

  "Roar!"

  "Ga..."

  A series of roars were deafening, echoing in the sky. All the mercenary groups and teams within the mountain range looked up through the gaps in the trees and saw two massive demon beasts sweeping past, their formidable presence chilling everyone.

  "What powerful demon beasts, the one in front seems to be the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao."

  "The Nine-Headed Demon Jiao seems to be fleeing for its life, being chased by the demon beast behind it."

  "It's said that the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao is a late fifth-order demon beast, strong and formidable, yet it's being chased by the demon beast behind it. Could it be that there's another fierce and formidable demon beast appearing in the Misty Mountain Range?"

  "The demon beasts in the Misty Mountain Range are getting stronger and stronger. Our mercenary group's harvest from entering the Misty Mountain Range will decrease, and the danger will increase. This is not good news for us."

  "Let's secure all the herbs we have. With a formidable demon beast appearing in the Misty Mountain Range again, it won't be long before the prices of herbs rise."

  "Look, there's another demon beast also chasing the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, and there are people on it."

  "Could it be that someone is chasing the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao? Who did the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao provoke?"

  As discussions among the many mercenary groups in the Misty Mountain Range continued, the three massive demon beasts had already flashed by.

  "Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, let's see where you can escape to." The dragon's loud shout echoed in mid-air.

  "I'll see how long you can chase." The Nine-Headed Demon Jiao roared, the ten huge eyes on its five heads showing fierce glares, desperately fleeing forward at full speed.
