Chapter 154: The Demonic Beast Blazing Python and the Dragon-Lion Both Perish!

Seeing the chains on both demonic beasts snap completely, Huixin and Huichen wore expressions of immediate gravity.

"Benefactor, should we—"

"There is no need, just watch."

Huichen was about to ask Su Yifan if he required assistance, but before he could finish, Su Yifan cut him off with a direct refusal.

They were merely a pair of tier-three demonic beasts.

If he needed help with something like this, then his reputation as a mighty Soul Formation cultivator would be a complete joke.

Hearing this, Huixin said nothing more and quietly focused on the side.

At that moment, not far away, the Flame Python and the Dragon-Lion had steadied themselves.

The two beasts exchanged a glance, and after a brief visual communication, they seemed to reach a mutual consensus.

The next instant, they turned their crimson gazes toward Su Yifan, filled with a murderous intent so fierce it seemed they wanted to tear the human before them into a thousand pieces!

"Roar!"

The Dragon-Lion let out a furious roar at Su Yifan, then charged toward him at full speed.

As it closed the distance, it swiftly raised one of its front paws and lashed down fiercely at Su Yifan.

"Boom!"

A deafening crash echoed.

Beneath the massive claw, Su Yifan stood completely relaxed, blocking the Dragon-Lion's attack with a single hand.

"Little lion, were you sealed away for so long that you missed your meals and lost your strength?"

Hearing the human mock him so brazenly, the Dragon-Lion was consumed by rage!

"Bang!"

With an angry roar, it poured strength into its paw, pressing down with all its might.

Yet despite using every ounce of strength it possessed, Su Yifan beneath it remained completely serene and unbothered, entirely unaffected by the pressure.

Right at that moment, however, "Whoosh!"

Seizing the opportunity, the Flame Python whipped its massive tail around in a horizontal sweep.

"Benefactor!"

Witnessing this perilous sight, the monk brothers Huixin and Huichen were struck with panic.

Without time for hesitation, they prepared to step in and save him.

"Stay back!"

Just then, Su Yifan's voice rang out.

Hearing this, the two monks instantly halted their advancing steps.

Simultaneously, "Boom!"

With a thunderous crash, the Flame Python's tail lashed violently forward—not hitting Su Yifan, but striking the Dragon-Lion instead.

At that moment, Su Yifan was still gripping the Dragon-Lion's giant paw, using the beast itself as a living shield to block the Flame Python's assault.

Struck squarely by the blow, the Dragon-Lion let out a miserable howl.

It stared at the Flame Python with an aggrieved look, as if screaming, *'You bastard, hit him! Why the hell are you hitting me?!'*

The Flame Python looked equally awkward upon realizing its mistake, but venting all its pent-up rage back onto Su Yifan, it swung its tail once more for another strike.

"Oh? Going for round two?"

Su Yifan sighed at the sight.

The next second, "Swish!"

He spun in place on his heel, hurling the Dragon-Lion in his grip with great force to intercept the Flame Python's attack once again.

"Boom!"

"Roar!"

This blow landed squarely on the Dragon-Lion's rear, causing it to bare its teeth in agonizing pain.

"Still want to continue?" Su Yifan asked indifferently, looking at the two beasts.

Facing such provocative mockery, how could the beasts possibly endure it?

After another exchange of glances, a flash of red light flickered in the Dragon-Lion's eyes as it bared its razor-sharp claws, plunging them deep into the earth.

The next moment, "Roar!"

As it tilted its head back and let out a furious howl, "Hum—"

A powerful wave of gravitational pressure instantly crashed down upon Su Yifan.

"Oh?"

Sensing the heavy pressure settling over him, Su Yifan felt the ground beneath his feet sink by a few centimeters instantly.

"Oh no! That's the Dragon-Lion's signature skill, Gravitational Suppression!"

Recognizing the technique immediately, Huixin hurried to warn Su Yifan.

However, before his words even faded, "Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

An eerie, spine-chilling sound echoed.

Following the sound, a ball of crimson energy manifested on the underside of the Flame Python's belly. The energy gradually moved upward, quickly reaching the beast's throat.

The next second, "Whoosh!"

A stream of dark red flames erupted from the Flame Python's maw, instantly engulfing Su Yifan entirely.

"Benefactor!!!" Huixin cried out in shock.

He moved to rush forward and save him, but a hand grabbed him from behind. Huichen shouted urgently, "Senior brother, don't go over there! It's too dangerous!"

"No! The benefactor is in danger. As disciples of Buddhism, how can we stand by and watch someone die?"

Huixin shoved his junior brother's hand aside and prepared to charge into the sea of fire.

Just then, "Swish!"

A black, razor-sharp sword shot out from the blazing inferno at extreme speed, hurtling straight toward the Flame Python's open mouth as it continued to spew fire.

The next instant, "Bang!"

The long black sword pierced straight through the Flame Python's vital spot at the back of its neck, and the flames abruptly ceased.

"He... Is he alright?"

Huixin breathed a sigh of relief at the sight.

He had thought Su Yifan was surely doomed, as this fire was no ordinary flame—it was an advanced demonic beast fire.

Such fire could incinerate almost anything, easily melting even the hardest of rocks.

Powerful though Su Yifan was, he was ultimately made of mortal flesh; given enough time, he too would be unable to withstand the blistering heat of this demonic flame.

After all, when their Bodhi Monastery had originally sealed this Flame Python, one of their junior brothers had been burned to ashes by this very fire.

Yet to his utter astonishment, Su Yifan had emerged from the demonic fire completely unharmed!

Was his body truly that indestructible?

At that very moment, "Boom!"

The Flame Python's colossal body crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Meanwhile, the magical artifact Moyuan returned to Su Yifan's hand. He gently stroked its surface.

"Not bad, not bad. Though it is only a low-grade spiritual weapon, it still handles quite well."

Seeing the Flame Python killed, the Dragon-Lion panicked and lost its composure.

What was happening?

This human was simply too powerful!

Even working together, the two of them were no match for him. Now that it was left alone, how could it possibly defeat him?!

Seeing its panicked state, Su Yifan shook his head and chuckled, "I told you to die early and be reincarnated sooner, but you just had to drag this out."

"Roar!"

The Dragon-Lion let out a fierce growl, as if venting its lingering defiance.

"Very well, you should head down soon too, so you can keep your companion company."

With those words, Su Yifan swung his sword.

"Swish!"

A streak of sword Qi shot forth instantly, zeroing in on the Dragon-Lion.

"Roar! Roar!"

Refusing to go down without a fight, the Dragon-Lion lashed out with its giant paw to bat away the incoming sword energy.

The next second, with a crisp "Bang!"

The sword Qi sliced clean through the Dragon-Lion's massive paw before lopping off its head in one swift motion.

Su Yifan walked up to the corpses of the two demonic beasts, reached out, and retrieved their demonic cores.

"Sin, oh sin."

Witnessing the bloody scene, both Huixin and Huichen pressed their palms together in prayer and lowered their heads slightly.

Right at that moment, Su Yifan raised the Moyuan sword in his hand and pointed it directly at the two monks.

"Benefactor, what is the meaning of this?" Huixin asked, startled.

What was going on?

Had he not already obtained the demonic cores?

Why turn on them now? Was he planning to silence them, or...

Just as they stood there completely bewildered, Su Yifan's gaze sharpened, and he shouted coldly,

"Come out!"
