With a sigh from the old man, the Nine Hell Demon Leopard immediately chased after Qian Lan and the Su sisters. When the little black dog saw this, it immediately rushed forward to greet them.

The Nine Hell Demonic Panther that grabbed the little black dog didn't even look at the little black dog that was sent flying. It got up and was about to chase in the direction Qian Lan disappeared in. However, at this time, an electric ball suddenly flew towards the Nine Hell Demonic Panther. It had no choice but to stop and spit out a black ball of light to cancel the electric ball from the little black dog. Then, the Nine Hell Demonic Leopard turned around and looked at the little black dog struggling to get up from the ground. It sent another black magic ball towards the little black dog.

Facing the Nine Hell Demonic Leopard's light ball attack, the little black dog only had enough time to leap into the air and turn around, barely dodging the magic light ball's frontal attack. But to its surprise, the magic light ball spun in the air once more, and then hit the little black dog.

"Roar!" The little black dog let out a miserable howl and was sent flying by the magic light ball. It flew more than ten meters away in an instant, breaking two trees before stopping.

The Nine Hell Demonic Leopard once again sent the little black dog flying before it turned around to chase after Qian Lan and the other two. But just as he took two steps, the Nine Serenities Demon Leopard suddenly roared and turned back to pounce at him. However, this time it was not towards the little black dog, but towards Zuo Ye.

Just as the Nine Hell Demonic Panther moved to block it with its little black dog, Zuo Ye launched an attack on the black-robed mage. Zuo Ye's golden spear trembled, and a bolt of lightning shot out.

The black-robed mage waved his staff, and a black shield appeared, barely managing to block Zuo Ye's lightning strike. After blocking Zuo Ye's lightning strike, the shield was already riddled with cracks. Zuo Ye's strength was at the eighth rank, and with the support of his golden spear, this was the equivalent of the attack of a ninth rank warrior.

Seeing that the shield was full of cracks, the black-robed mage was greatly shocked, and hastily brandished his staff to repair the shield and increase the power of the shield.

Under the Saint level, in addition to the stats, strength, and equipment, magicians were the strongest, warriors were the second, and magicians were the worst in terms of frontal combat. At the Saint level, a Magician's combat power could surpass a warrior's. Below the Saint-rank, magi were powerful, but their ability to fight was low.

The black-robed mage was a level nine Grand Magister, but he was still level nine. If he were to face a level eight warrior, the black-robed Magician would be able to win for sure, but unfortunately, he had met Zuo Ye.

After releasing the lightning, Zuo Ye immediately threw himself at the black-robed mage. By the time the black-robed mage had properly reinforced his shield, Zuo Ye had already rushed in front of the black-robed mage and thrust his golden spear at him.

The black-robed mage had just reinforced his shield. This shield's toughness was already twice that of the previous one. It could even block a blow from a Saint rank expert. Therefore, the black-robed mage was filled with confidence. Seeing Zuo Ye's golden spear coming at him, the black-robed mage didn't do any defense. Instead, he waved his staff and shot a black mist at Zuo Ye.

Zuo Ye could dodge the black fog if he wanted, but Zuo Ye didn't dodge it. Ignoring the black fog, the golden spear pierced the black robed mage's shield at a faster speed — the shield that could block a blow from a Saint level expert was useless in front of the golden spear. When the golden spear touched the shield, the shield was shattered like glass, but the golden spear's speed didn't slow down in the slightest as it pierced through the black robed mage's chest.

"Shield Break effect?!" • Artifact! "…" The black-robed mage said these words, and then, with a twist of his head, he died. "What is it?" the old man asked in a low voice. "I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … didn't … died."

With the death of the black-robed mage, the Nine Hell Demon Leopard immediately found out and rushed towards Zuo Ye.

When the Nine Serenities Demon Leopard rushed in front of Zuo Ye, Zuo Ye had just broken free from the black fog, but by then, Zuo Ye's entire body was already pitch black, and not only his clothes, even his skin, hair, and even his fingernails had been corroded – just now, the black robed mage had released the dark elemental magic, "Soul-Chasing Corrosion Venom Fog". This was an extremely overbearing spell, and it could even corrode battle qi, and it would last for a long time.

Zuo Ye instantly killed the black-robed mage, but a layer of his skin was still corroded by this magic, even though he didn't have any combat power.

This kind of injury was extremely serious for other people, and it might even affect Zuo Ye for life. As long as Zuo Ye had some time, he could use the life force of the great goddess Nuwa to heal his eroded skin and heal it.

Besides, this level of corrosion didn't affect Zuo Ye's fighting strength. When the poisonous fog disappeared, Zuo Ye opened his eyes and saw the Nine Hell Devil Leopard pouncing on him. Zuo Ye very calmly let out a bolt of lightning and quickly pulled back.

"Roar!" When the Nine Hell Demonic Leopard saw the bolt of lightning, it could only spit out a black magic ball of light to barely cancel out the lightning. It was also forced to stop its charge and immediately distanced itself from Zuo Ye by a few meters.

In terms of speed, even if Zuo Ye had the power of lightning, he was still a bit slower than the Tartarus, a magical beast of the ninth rank. The Nine Hell Demonic Leopard saw the golden spear coming at it, so it subconsciously tried to scratch it with its claws. However, the golden spear was incredibly magical, the lightning above it instantly burnt the black hair on the Nine Hell Demonic Leopard's claw, and a burnt smell filled the air. At the same time, Zuo Ye seized the opportunity and used his golden spear to cut open the front right claw of the Nine Serenities Demon Leopard.

Receiving this blow, the Nine Hell Demonic Leopard hurriedly pulled back, not daring to easily approach Zuo Ye's body again.

However, not being in close proximity did not mean that the Nine Serenities Demon Leopard had given up on attacking. Instead, the attacks of the Nine Serenities Demon Leopard became even more terrifying: the previous attacks on the little black dog, the "Tracking Magic Sphere", the "Consecutive Magic Sphere", and the "Soul-Chasing Corrosion Poison Mist", all launched attacks towards Zuo Ye.

The Nine Serenities Demon Leopard stood far away, and one after another, powerful magic was directed at Zuo Ye. Zuo Ye hurriedly sent out Lightning Company, Lightning Ball, and the other power networks to attack the Nine Hell Devil Leopard.

Of course, Zuo Ye also tried to get close to the Nine Nether Demon Leopard, but the speed of the Nine Nether Demon Leopard was much faster than Zuo Ye's, and after suffering a loss once, the Nine Nether Demon Leopard clearly didn't plan to engage Zuo Ye in close combat with him, so the moment Zuo Ye wanted to get close to it, the Nine Nether Demon Leopard would pull back and continue its magic. Zuo Ye had no choice but to fight this magical beast of the ninth rank.

Zuo Ye's magic power was only at the eighth level, but with the support of the golden spear, his magic power could reach the ninth level. Zuo Ye's magic power was only at the eighth level, but with the support of the golden spear, his magic power could reach the ninth level.

Black light gathered and lightning filled the air! How spectacular!

The surrounding trees were extremely unlucky. They were either struck by lightning, struck by balls of lightning, or blown apart by balls of dark magic, or corroded by the power of darkness. It could even be said that they were full of holes.

After fighting for a while, just when Zuo Ye had sent out two "electricity chains" to cancel out the Nine Hell Devil Leopard's "Soul Chasing Poison Mist", the little black dog in the distance slowly and shakily stood up. At the same time, a man in a black bamboo hat appeared beside the little black dog, Qian Lan. As for the Su sisters, it was obvious that Qian Lan had found a place to hide them.

Although Qian Lan returned and the little black dog also stood up, it didn't come to help her. Qian Lan, who was only at the fifth rank, and the little black dog, who was seriously injured, could only become a burden in the explosion of the ninth rank magic. Not only could they not help Zuo Ye, they could even distract him.

Zuo Ye and the Nine Serenities Demon Leopard continued their magic clash. After a while, the Nine Serenities Demon Leopard's magic attack was mostly used up and it was not as smooth as when it launched magic. Zuo Ye, on the other hand, continued to cast all sorts of spells, not caring about the waste of magic power at all.

The Nine Hell Demonic Panther was baffled. This human was clearly only at the eighth level of strength. Even if his weapon had the offensive power of the ninth level, his strength should still be slightly lower than the ninth level. Moreover, this human would usually use two spells to counteract one spell.

The Nine Hell Demonic Leopard obviously didn't know that Zuo Ye's body had twelve strands of power, and it could also transform into one another. This was the equivalent of the total magic of twelve warriors of the eighth step. This magic power was much more powerful than the Nine Hell Demonic Leopard's, and could also last a lot longer.

The Nine Hell Demonic Leopard saw that it no longer had enough magic power, but Zuo Ye was still as imposing as before, his magic power endlessly flowing out.

He knew that he wouldn't be able to gain any benefits if he continued to fight, and he might even die from his magic exhaustion. Of course, the Nine Hell Devil Leopard wouldn't do that — after shooting out a "magic ball", it turned around and ran back into the forest. Zuo Ye knew that he couldn't do anything to the Nine Hell Demonic Panther that was about to escape, but he still quickly shot out a series of lightning balls to cancel out the Nine Hell Demonic Panther's magic. After that, he shot another lightning bolt at the fleeing Nine Hell Demonic Panther.

Previous Chapter Next Chapter "Boom!" The Nine Hell Demonic Leopard was struck by Zuo Ye's lightning. Most of its black fur was burnt by lightning. It then disappeared into the forest. Qian Lan and the little black dog finally arrived in front of Zuo Ye after chasing away the Nine Hell Demonic Leopard.

"Are you okay?" Qian Lan cautiously asked as she looked at Zuo Ye's corroded body.

"Hehe!" "I'm fine. How are Sophie and Ling'Er? How did you come back?" Zuo Ye said.

"Don't worry, I hid them in a hidden cave, then I came back," Qian Lan said, "I know that with my current strength, I won't be able to help, but leaving my comrades to escape by themselves is something I Qian Lan can't do."

"Thank you!" Zuo Ye said sincerely, "But I still need to trouble you to bring them back."

"Alright! I'll go right away, "Qian Lan turned around and went to pick up the Su sisters.

"Your injury this time is quite serious," Zuo Ye squatted down and placed his hand on the little black dog. His life force was released from Zuo Ye's hand.

The little black dog crawled on the ground to receive treatment from Zuo Ye.

After roughly treating the black dog's wound, Zuo Ye sat down and channeled his life force. Zuo Ye's black face suddenly flashed with green light.

Not long after, Qian Lan brought the Su sisters back.

"Big brother Zuo, what's wrong?" Sophie was surprised to see Zuo Ye's black face. She ran to his side and asked in concern.

Zuo Ye reached out his hand to say that the layer of dead skin had been wiped off his face. Zuo Ye once again restored his handsome face, but his hair was gone.

This method used up a lot of his life force. After restoring his face, Zuo Ye's body had almost lost all of his strength, so he didn't even have the strength to give birth to his hair.

"Hehe!" It's fine, "Zuo Ye looked at himself, who was completely black and charred, and said," Sophie! "Go to the carriage and bring me some clothes."

Even after Zuo Ye had changed his clothes, the little black dog was still practicing with its eyes closed.

When Zuo Ye had just finished changing his clothes, the little black dog's aura greatly increased. Black gas and lightning appeared, and a powerful consciousness came from the little black dog's head.

The little black dog opened its eyes and stood up with a domineering aura. The little black dog finally broke through, reaching the level of a magical beast of the seventh step.
