"Good, now that I've managed to get out, it's your turn to enter the cave first, otherwise I don't think I can leave safely." Ye Tianfan turned and said to the two Holy Evil Lions behind him.

Upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, the two Holy Evil Lions behind him roared angrily.

The eyes of the two Holy Evil Lions glared with fury at Ye Tianfan, their pupils gradually turning red, indicating their extreme anger. The black crystals on their bodies began to flash wildly.

At this moment, the two Holy Evil Lions gave Ye Tianfan the impression that they were ready to abandon the concern for the safety of the Holy Evil Lion Egg and focus solely on taking him down.

Seeing this scene made Ye Tianfan break out in a cold sweat.

The two Holy Evil Lions began to slowly and deliberately approach Ye Tianfan, their movement slow yet intensely oppressive for him; he would not be surprised if they attacked him in the next moment.

All Ye Tianfan could do was tightly aim the Fire Lotus Sword in his hand at the Holy Evil Lion Egg, and each step the Lions took forward, he moved the sword's tip closer to the egg.

Ye Tianfan was betting on who would break first.

The result was clear; the Holy Evil Lions broke first. As Ye Tianfan's sword tip almost touched the Holy Evil Lion Egg, the slightly smaller Lion roared furiously and reluctantly turned towards the cave.

Seeing this, Ye Tianfan breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Soon after, Ye Tianfan slowly calmed down from the previous disarray and started searching for an escape route.

He was not familiar with the terrain. Flying too high would make him an easy target, yet flying too low could mean he becomes lost, potentially stumbling into another Demon Beast's territory, which would mean certain death!

In front of Ye Tianfan, the paw of the remaining Holy Evil Lion subtly scraped the ground, its sharp claws leaving small cracks in the hard surface, clearly growing impatient. They had followed Ye Tianfan's instructions, yet he had made no move, nor had he distanced the sword's tip from the egg.

"Roar!" The Holy Evil Lion had to remind Ye Tianfan that one of them had already left, and now it's his turn.

Ye Tianfan smiled at the Lion and then tossed the Holy Evil Lion Egg into the air, quickly summoning the Freedom Sword and speeding in the direction from which he'd come.

The Holy Evil Lion, seeing Ye Tianfan throw the egg into the air, immediately fixated its eyes on it and rushed towards the egg.

Because Ye Tianfan tossed the egg into the air, the Holy Light Ore and Evil Light Ore it was absorbing were suddenly distant from the egg, thus giving it only five minutes to survive. If not returned to the ore pile within five minutes, the egg would fail to hatch.

Once the Lion caught the egg with its soft tongue, it shot an angry glance in Ye Tianfan's departing direction and quickly dashed back into the cave to place the egg back among the ore pile.

At this point, everything else was secondary for the Holy Evil Lion; the survival of the egg was its top priority.

Ye Tianfan flew swiftly, knowing he had at most five minutes before the Holy Evil Lion would begin chasing him. The Lion wasn't slow; it could traverse in three to five minutes what took him ten, even faster at full speed.

Ye Tianfan wasn't sure if the Holy Evil Lion would chase him at full speed, but he flew at his fastest, with all his might.

Moreover, the Lion's sense of smell was sharp; Ye Tianfan couldn't hide in the forest below, as he'd be easily found. Even diving into the river and flying out the other side wouldn't work.

Ye Tianfan initially thought of doing so to lose his scent, but upon seeing the river's small fish with fierce teeth and intimidating aura, he abandoned the idea, realizing he wouldn't survive.

Each small fish appeared to possess a strength beyond the fifth tier of Qian Yuan.

Left with no choice, Ye Tianfan could only fly forward with all his strength. He didn't summon the Xuanhuang Tower to mask his scent, because the Tower would emit a specific Spiritual Power scent, remembered by the Lion.

"Roar!"

Ye Tianfan heard a loud roar behind him while flying at full speed and realized the Holy Evil Lion was catching up.

Turning to look back confirmed his fears—far behind him, a thick smoke rose, occasionally flinging trees into the air.

Seeing this made Ye Tianfan shiver; if the Lion could crash through trees, imagine its speed without them, and what it would do on impact!

It seemed only one Lion was chasing him; the other probably stayed to guard the egg. He wondered if they managed to return it to the ore pile in time.

Then Ye Tianfan heard the sound of something slicing through the air behind him.

Not waiting to find out, he veered aside and saw what caused the sound.

A black and white Spiritual Power Ball, firm and solid, unlike anything he'd seen before.

Instinctively glancing back, Ye Tianfan noticed the Lion was close, about three kilometers away, exerting its Spiritual Power, apparently forming another Power Ball.

Ye Tianfan had no choice but to fly and evade simultaneously.
