Just as he entered the valley entrance, Hua Tianxiong spotted about eight high-tier female Demon Lions resting under a large poplar tree as thick as a millstone. The tree stood right in the middle of the path leading from the valley entrance to the waterfall. Sweeping the area with his divine sense once more, he confirmed there were no other Demonic Beasts within a two-hundred-meter radius. Hua Tianxiong decided to have a head-on, brutal fight with this pride of lions.
Feeling his combat strength and skills rapidly improving through the continuous trials of life and death, Hua Tianxiong resolved not to pass up any opportunity for rapid growth. As usual, he swiftly drew the three-hundred-kilogram Enemy-Slaying Saber and dashed like the wind toward the high-tier female Demon Lion closest to him.
The lions reacted instantly. However, seeing a low-tier human Martial Practitioner, they did not pay him much attention. All the crouching lions slowly stood up, looking with surprise at the human who had rushed right in front of them. With the flash of a gracefully executed slicing arc, a brilliant pillar of blood shot into the sky. A second later, the massive head and ox-like body of the nearest Demon Lion crashed heavily to the ground.
