Chapter 263 Brothers in arms, fathers and sons on the battlefield
Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er were well aware of the white-faced apes' plans.
But so what!
They were here to gain experience; if they could talk, they would talk; if they couldn't, they would fight.
If you can win, move forward; if you can't, retreat.
With their intelligence, the white-faced apes naturally knew that a long-term business was the key to revitalizing the entire group.
Therefore, they can confidently and boldly charge forward without worrying about a way out.
The white-faced ape, after all, was once a resident of the mountains, so it knows a lot.
The female white-faced ape took out her ancestral map and went on to explain many things to pay attention to before watching Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er enter the territory of the Fire Cloud Leopard together with the other white-faced apes.
Just as Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er felt the temperature suddenly rise, they saw a fiery red rushing towards them.
It turned out that the Fire Cloud Leopard had been monitoring the territory of the White-faced Apes and noticed that the White-faced Apes had been in high spirits these past few days, and many of the White-faced Apes that had been injured by them had recovered quickly.
They knew that the white-faced ape must have obtained something from the cultivators again, perhaps from the same group of Taixu Sect cultivators who had attacked the white-faced ape's territory with them.
For many years, the Fire Cloud Leopard has been trying to drive the White-Faced Ape out of Carp Back, seize the White-Faced Ape's territory, make direct contact with the cultivators, and rob them of their storage rings.
Now, these two female cultivators have actually arrived in the territory of the Fire Cloud Leopard amidst the farewells of the white-faced apes.
Needless to say, all the good stuff was snatched up by the white-faced ape.
They need to act quickly.
Otherwise, if these two female cultivators pass through their territory, the territory behind them will be the territory of the Azure Lion.
They can't beat the blue lion, so they'll definitely get nothing.
Therefore, upon receiving the report from the little fire cloud leopard, the Fire Cloud Leopard King led his clan to ambush at the pass. Upon seeing Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er, without uttering a single word, he launched a massive, overwhelming attack of fire clouds.
Zhong Lingxin had already been holding Lele and his group of friends in her hand.
When she sensed the temperature rising, Lele simply stretched out her hand, and she and a group of friends flew out, first protecting Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er, and then the boundless blue flames attacked the overwhelming fire clouds.
The two flames, one red and one blue, clashed, and the resulting intense heat instantly distorted the surrounding air, even melting the brown rocks into dark red lava in an instant.
The extreme heat caused the fire cloud leopards to scream and fall to the ground, howling in agony, but their cries abruptly ceased in the dark red lava.
Only a few Fire Cloud Leopard leaders with cultivation levels of Rank 6 or higher reacted quickly, soaring into the air to evade the Ice Flame's attacks.
The Fire Cloud Leopard King was filled with shock and rage.
Over the thousands of years, many cultivators have passed through the territory of the White-faced Ape to reach the territory of the Fire Cloud Leopard, but these two female cultivators are the first to have caused it such a great loss right from the start.
A Fire Cloud Leopard leader, whose body was burned by ice flames, said through gritted teeth, “Your Majesty, let’s go back to our cave and talk about it there.”
Fire Cloud Leopard King understood immediately.
Their cave dwellings were the only way for these two female cultivators to get inside.
That place was also the home ground of the Fire Cloud Leopard. With the blessing of the underground fire vein, it had the power to fight against the two female cultivators.
The Fire Cloud Leopard King turned and ran.
Behind it, the group of Fire Cloud Leopards all ran away without a trace.
From the venomous look the Fire Cloud Leopard King gave as it ran away, Zhong Lingxin knew that the Fire Cloud Leopard had another trick up its sleeve.
This Fire Cloud Leopard King was even more greedy and ruthless than the White-Faced Ape had described. Without any probing, he immediately launched a killing attack.
If it weren't for the protection of Ice Flame, she would probably have been seriously injured in a single encounter.
Huang Ying'er was also extremely angry. She took out her usual green jade flute and used two sonic blades to chase after the two Fire Cloud Leopard leaders who were running at the back, stopping them in their tracks for a moment.
In that precious moment, Zhong Lingxin seized the opportunity, raised her Soul-Slaying Sword, and severely injured the consciousness of the two Fire Cloud Leopards.
Huanhuan rushed forward, raised her claws, and pulled out two inner cores.
Next, they skinned, bled, and butchered the two fire leopards.
The movements were skillful and executed in one smooth motion.
The departing Fire Cloud Leopards let out a mournful howl; their companions had been killed by the cultivators once again.
Huang Ying'er laughed so hard she bent over, pushed away the piece of flesh from the Fire Cloud Leopard that Zhong Lingxin offered, and only took one inner core.
At the same time, she beckoned Zhong Lingxin to help her clean up the fire cloud leopard that had just been burned to death: "Come on, Lingxin, you said it yourself, you can't miss this opportunity."
Although these Fire Cloud Leopards were badly burned, at least a few pieces remained. If we collect them, we can at least sell them for some spirit stones.
Especially the inner core; all demonic beasts of the fifth rank and above have inner cores.
Honestly, I have some regrets about the White-Faced Apes' territory. They're too sentimental; even those who were injured or died of old age probably had inner cores, but they didn't offer a single one for trade.
Zhong Lingxin smiled and, together with Huang Ying'er, cleaned up the scattered corpses of the Fire Cloud Leopard on the ground.
The Fire Cloud Leopard King, having fled back to his cave, took the healing medicine and sat dejectedly on top of the cave.
The fire leopards that had escaped with it also tended to their own injuries and sat silently.
After a long while, a fiery leopard with darting eyes cautiously spoke up: "Your Majesty..."
All the Fire Cloud Leopards looked up at the Fire Cloud Leopard King sitting at the head of the table.
The Fire Cloud Leopard King quickly straightened his posture, slammed his fist on the stone table in front of him angrily, and said in a stern voice, "My children, this grudge must be avenged!"
The group of Fire Cloud Leopards echoed their agreement.
After tallying the casualties, it was found that twenty or thirty Fire Cloud Leopards had died, including three minor leaders.
The Fire Cloud Leopard King let out a painful growl.
One of these three minor leaders is its younger brother.
It is said that brothers fight together, and fathers and sons go to war together.
He was able to rule the entire Fire Cloud Leopard clan so well because of the help of his brothers, who suppressed the other Fire Cloud Leopard leaders so much that they couldn't hold their heads up.
Regardless of which of its brothers died, it weakened its dominance over the Fire Cloud Leopard clan.
Two more fire-cloud leopards darted in through the door, rushing in and exclaiming in panic, "Big brother, I heard that fifth brother is dead, is it true? Is it true?"
The Fire Cloud Leopard leader nodded, too grief-stricken to speak.
It may have used other fire leopards more, but it treated its younger brothers and sisters with genuine affection.
The Fire Cloud Leopard sister, whose figure was noticeably slender, let out a shrill roar, turned around and walked out, shouting as she went, "Children, come out and follow Third Sister to kill those two wretched maids."
Countless fire cloud leopards emerged from the surrounding mountain peaks.
A fire cloud leopard rushed out, holding a set of fire cloud flags in its paws.
Third Sister Huoyun grabbed the Huoyun Banner, waved it in the wind, and a sky full of red clouds rose up, burning towards the edge of the territory. She grabbed the burly Huoyun Leopard that was charging forward: "Fourth Brother, go and get the Huoyun Pearl."
