"Sister Mingzhu, there's a person on that mountain."
Li Xiaoke and the others had just climbed up the mountain when she suddenly saw a person lying on top of a mountain not far away. She called out softly, "Brother Li Xiaoke!"
Hearing Li Xiaoke's words, the other three all turned around and looked in the direction she was pointing.
The mountain they were standing on just happened to be much higher than the mountain Fang Chen was lying on, so they immediately saw him.
"Yes, why would there be someone on the Fallen Flowers Mountain Peaks?" Li Cheng was a bit puzzled.
"Could it be a lone cultivator who came to the Fallen Flowers Mountain Peaks to train and got injured?" Li Xin's eyes turned.
Li Mingzhu didn't say anything. She thought for a moment and said, "Let's go take a look."
Normally, no cultivators would come to the Fallen Flowers Mountain Peaks.
Even Li Mingzhu and the others came because they were from Kaiyang City's Li family.
Kaiyang City was the closest city to the Fallen Flowers Mountain Peaks in the Five Elements Province.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
Soon, the four of them arrived at the mountain peak Fang Chen was on. When they saw Fang Chen's appearance, they couldn't help sucking in a cold breath.
"Just how injured is he?" Li Xiaoke was shocked to see Fang Chen's miserable appearance.
Li Xin and Li Cheng were also shocked to see Fang Chen's appearance. This person's entire body didn't seem to be intact at all.
Even Li Mingzhu was a bit flabbergasted. This cultivator's internal organs, including his frontal bone, were all shattered. Just what had he experienced?
"Could it be the Flame Leopard King who did this?" Li Cheng suddenly asked.
Li Xin shook his head and directly denied it. "Impossible. If it was the Flame Leopard King, it would definitely leave claw marks on his body. But although there are many wounds on his body, there are no claw marks at all. I don't think he was killed by the Flame Leopard King."
"His frontal bone is shattered and there's a large hole in his chest. His internal organs must have been shattered as well. He's probably already dead," said Li Cheng.
Li Mingzhu, who had been staring at Fang Chen, suddenly had a complicated look in her eyes. Then she approached Fang Chen.
"Mingzhu, what are you doing?" asked Li Xin directly.
"He doesn't seem to be dead yet," Li Mingzhu said softly.
"What? He's still not dead despite being injured like this?" Li Xin and Li Cheng were instantly shocked. If Fang Chen really didn't die, then it would be too miraculous.
Even if it was a Spirit Vortex Realm expert, with such injuries, he would definitely die.
Li Mingzhu approached Fang Chen and squatted down. She gently placed her fair fingers on Fang Chen's chest.
Dong
As expected, Li Mingzhu felt a faintly discernible fluctuation.
This further proved what Li Mingzhu had said before. His heart was still beating, and he was indeed not dead.
At this time, Li Mingzhu began to carefully observe Fang Chen. Up close, she could see that Fang Chen was a young warrior.
"Why would such a young martial artist suffer such heavy injuries?" Li Mingzhu could not understand.
"Could it be …"
At this moment, Li Mingzhu thought of something.
"Mingzhu, even if this person isn't dead, he's not far from death. Our goal this time is to find the Flame Leopard King. Let's not waste any more time." Li Xin urged.
"That's right, Mingzhu. Let's go." Li Cheng said.
Hearing her two cousins, Li Xiaoke retorted, "This person is so pitiful. He's seriously injured, and his frontal bone is shattered. He's still not dead. How can you bear to just leave like this?"
Hearing this, Li Cheng and Li Xin were speechless.
Li Xiaoke was not old, but she was famous for being soft-hearted.
In Kaiyang City, she would feel sorry for the beggars on the roadside and would give them some money at any time.
However, Li Xiaoke was one of the best in the younger generation of the Li Family. The Li Family had always seen her as the next Li Mingzhu, so they doted on her.
Whenever Li Xiaoke went out to train, she would definitely bring back many injured warriors.
Li Xiaoke could not bear to see these warriors die, so she brought them back to the Li Family to ask for help in treating them.
At this moment, hearing Li Xiaoke's words, Li Xin and Li Cheng were speechless. It seemed that they would have to bring along a sick person for their next mission.
"Sister Mingzhu, let's bring him back. Maybe we can treat him," Li Xiaoke said sweetly.
Hearing this, Li Mingzhu nodded and said, "Okay."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoke was very excited. She ran in front of Li Mingzhu and hugged her arm coquettishly.
However, at this moment, Li Xiaoke discovered Fang Chen's lower body. She immediately screamed and covered her eyes with her white hands, turning her back.
"Him …"
Li Xiaoke's face was red, and she could not speak for a moment.
Hearing this, Li Mingzhu shook her head slightly. She took out a snow-white shirt from her Infinite Space Ring and covered Fang Chen's body.
Then, she turned to Li Xiaoke and said, "Xiaoke, we are going to look for the Flaming Leopard King. If we bring him along, it will definitely affect our progress. How about this? We will look for the Flaming Leopard King first. After we find the Flaming Leopard King, we will come back here to bring him back."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoke nodded and said, "Okay."
Finally, the four of them left the place.
Fang Chen was unconscious the whole time. His body was battered and exhausted. The blood around his bones had long dried up, and his organs were shattered. Only his heart was beating imperceptibly.
Li Mingzhu and the other three left the mountain peak where Fang Chen was and went straight into the depths of the Luoying Mountain Peaks.
As the four of them went deeper, they felt a tense atmosphere.
"Mingzhu, don't tell me we really met the Flaming Leopard King?" Li Xin asked.
Although their goal was to find the Flaming Leopard King, it would be troublesome if they really met it.
"The atmosphere here is very tense. Something is wrong," Li Cheng said.
They had been to the Luoying Mountain Peaks many times, but this time, the feeling was very different. Perhaps the Flaming Leopard King would really appear.
Li Xiaoke blinked her small eyes and looked around curiously.
Although she looked weak, she was actually a powerful warrior. In Kaiyang City, she was considered one of the best of the younger generation.
She had condensed nine flashes of True Qi. In the younger generation of the Li Clan, she was second only to Li Mingzhu.
At this time, Li Mingzhu looked around, her cold eyes constantly searching. Finally, she locked onto a position and said, "Let's go this way."
Li Mingzhu was very brave and led the way at the front. Li Xin and the other two followed closely behind.
After walking for about an hour, Li Mingzhu finally stopped because what appeared in front of her was a cheetah surrounded by flames.
"Flaming Leopard King!" Li Xin shouted.
"It really is the Flaming Leopard King! We actually found the Flaming Leopard King!" Li Cheng cried out involuntarily.
Ever since the Flaming Leopard King appeared a few decades ago, no other Flaming Leopard King had appeared in the Luoying Mountain Peaks.
But this time, they actually saw the Flaming Leopard King.
Roar!
The Flaming Leopard King's body was surrounded by flames, and its aura was very powerful.
When it saw the four humans, its eyes were filled with rage, as though it wanted to kill them all.
"The Flaming Leopard King's attacks are very fierce. The four of us will attack together and use a roundabout tactic. Don't get close to the Flaming Leopard King," Li Mingzhu ordered.
The other three nodded and entered battle mode, ready to attack at any time.
Roar!
The Flaming Leopard King sensed the threat from the four of them. It roared and took the lead to attack. Its two claws fiercely extended and boundless flames directly drilled into its claws.
Seeing the Flame Leopard King's ferocious attack, Li Mingzhu tapped the ground with the tip of her foot and leaped into the air. She immediately unleashed a fierce attack and clashed with the Flame Leopard King.
Soon after, the other three also made their moves.
The Flaming Leopard King was very powerful. Even with the four of them working together, they were only barely able to suppress one Flaming Leopard King.
After a bitter battle, Li Xin couldn't help sighing, "Luckily the four of us are working together. If we were alone, we wouldn't be able to defeat the Flaming Leopard King."
"Yeah, this Flaming Leopard King is too powerful. Even Li Mingzhu wouldn't be its match in a one on one fight," said Li Cheng.
On the side, Li Xiaoke was constantly waving her palms, emitting a terrifying aura.
Of the four of them, Li Mingzhu's attacks were the strongest. Each of her attacks would hit the Flaming Leopard King's weak points.
After fighting for half an hour, the Flaming Leopard King let out a miserable cry and finally fell to the ground unwillingly.
After the Flaming Leopard King died, the boundless flames on its body instantly dissipated.
Seeing the Flaming Leopard King die, the four of them stopped attacking. Li Xin and Li Cheng stood there panting, their foreheads full of sweat.
"We finally killed it," said Li Xin.
The Flaming Leopard King's body was full of treasures. Of course, Li Mingzhu was most interested in the Flaming Leopard King's heart. It was said that the Flaming Leopard King's heart contained boundless fire element. Warriors who obtained it would benefit greatly.
In a short while, the Flaming Leopard King was dissected by the four of them. Li Mingzhu took the heart, Li Xiaoke took the claws, and Li Xin and Li Cheng each chose the parts they needed. Then, they put the remaining Flaming Leopard King meat into their interspatial rings.
The harvest this time was perfect. Even the usually cold Li Mingzhu let out a rare smile.
"I really didn't expect that we would actually kill a Flaming Leopard King." Li Xin felt like he was dreaming.
"When we go back this time, I will definitely be able to condense the ninth layer of true qi," said Li Cheng confidently.
The Flaming Leopard King that hadn't appeared in dozens of years was encountered by them. It would be strange if they weren't happy.
"With the Flaming Leopard King's heart, my strength will increase again. I won't have to be afraid of Yang Xiujian in the Large Competition in a month's time," said Li Mingzhu secretly.
At this time, Li Xiaoke said, "We've finished killing the Flaming Leopard King. Should we return?"
Actually, Li Xiaoke was thinking about Fang Chen.
"Let's go back," said Li Mingzhu.
