"Now I can deal with that Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard!"
Ye Ningze, his strength greatly boosted, thought to himself.
His speed had now reached ten times the speed of sound, making him in no way inferior to the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard in terms of speed.
Although the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard's true speed might be around thirteen times the speed of sound, Ye Ningze wasn't far behind, not to the point where he couldn't react.
Moreover, Ye Ningze possessed top-tier self-healing abilities, his trump card for survival.
Coupled with his explosive power comparable to that of a Transcendent martial artist, he was fully capable of fighting it!
"I was quite battered being chased by that damned leopard earlier, I must get revenge!"
With this thought, Ye Ningze began to retrace his steps.
"Found it, it hasn't gone far after all."
Ye Ningze quickly located his target.
The Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard was currently surrounded by a group of Shadow-Chasing Leopards, lying on the ground with its eyes slightly narrowed.
Upon closer inspection, the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard seemed to be sleeping.
Beside the Shadow-Chasing Leopards was the corpse of the high-level ferocious beast, the Great Bear, but it was not intact.
The missing parts had likely been consumed by the leading Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard.
"Huh, the aura of this Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard is actually slowly rising!"
Ye Ningze clicked his tongue in amazement.
The phenomenon occurring with the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard at this moment was quite similar to the cultivation of human martial artists.
Human martial artists also used the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts to refine themselves in order to improve their realms.
"Shadow-Chasing Leopards, Grandpa is back for revenge!"
Ye Ningze roared, deliberately startling the leopard pack.
He didn't want to confront the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard after it had fully advanced, which would undoubtedly be a foolish choice.
Of course.
Even if the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard fully refined the Great Bear's bloodline and advanced to a high-level ferocious beast.
With Ye Ningze's overall combat strength, he would still not be its match.
However, if that were to happen, dealing with it would become considerably more troublesome. It was better to strike now and kill it before it broke through.
Ye Ningze's shout completely disturbed the entire leopard pack, and the leading Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard was also alerted.
It opened its blood-red beast eyes, staring ferociously at Ye Ningze with a savage expression.
There was even a hint of mockery on its face, as if to say: "Good kid, you dare to come back looking for death!"
The Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard moved, its thick hind legs gripping the ground, and in the next moment, it leaped up.
It had to be said that the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard, having refined the Great Bear's flesh and blood, was indeed even faster than before.
According to Ye Ningze's estimation, the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard's current speed should be around fourteen times the speed of sound.
But even so, Ye Ningze managed to react at the last moment.
Just as the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard's claws were about to make intimate contact with Ye Ningze's head, Ye Ningze unleashed his speed.
With just two or three steps back, he perfectly dodged the fatal blow.
At the same time.
Ye Ningze drew his black saber and slashed out.
Empowered by his top-tier speed talent and now paired with his perfected saber intent, he was like a tiger with wings, his speed astonishingly fast.
The black saber first performed a flourish in Ye Ningze's hand, and then it landed squarely on the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard's back.
*Swoosh!*
Caught off guard, the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard sustained a gash on its back.
Feeling the pain from its injured back, the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard retreated explosively.
After it steadied itself again, it stared at Ye Ningze with disbelief, its eyes filled with bewilderment.
Although the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard did not speak, Ye Ningze could tell its thoughts through its expression.
At this moment, it must have been wondering why its speed had increased so much.
It recalled that just half a day ago, the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard had completely dominated it in terms of speed.
If not for Ye Ningze's formidable saber skills and the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard's excessive stamina consumption, which prevented it from breaking through Ye Ningze's saber defense, Ye Ningze might have already become a cold corpse.
In fact.
This was the first time the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard had encountered such a situation.
Its realm was clearly similar to its own, yet in terms of speed, it could match it, with little difference.
This would have been utterly unimaginable in the past!
The Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard did not concede. It steadied its mind and launched another attack towards Ye Ningze.
"Perfected Saber Technique, Shadow Kill!"
Ye Ningze swung his black saber repeatedly, blocking all of the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard's attacks.
It was important to note that Shadow Kill was a technique Ye Ningze had comprehended and created after practicing hundreds of saber techniques, so its power was naturally not to be underestimated.
Coupled with his current tenfold speed amplification, it had become a nightmare for the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard.
After about ten exchanges, the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard was covered in wounds.
After all, Ye Ningze's realm was there. The strength of a Grandmaster realm was not something that a beast that hadn't even reached the high-level ferocious beast stage could shake!
At this point, the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard, which had been determined to fight to the death, finally harbored thoughts of retreat.
If it didn't retreat now, it might very well perish on the spot!
It did not want to die!
*Whoosh!*
After turning around, the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard leaped away with a powerful stride.
Ye Ningze was somewhat taken aback, standing still in place.
He hadn't expected the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard to so decisively abandon its own kind and flee.
But after a moment of stunned silence, Ye Ningze also activated his speed amplification and immediately gave chase.
"Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard, you are already injured, where do you think you can escape to!"
Ye Ningze was not worried about the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard getting away, as he pursued relentlessly from behind.
As soon as its stamina was completely depleted, he could easily kill it.
However, the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard did not escape for long before Ye Ningze intercepted it.
In a moment of desperation, the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard did not hesitate to expose its body in front of Ye Ningze, directly leaping to try and escape past him.
*Swoosh!*
Ye Ningze naturally would not let it go, and his black saber descended mercilessly.
Almost cut in half, the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard could no longer escape, lying on the ground, allowing Ye Ningze to do as he pleased.
But just as Ye Ningze raised his black saber, intending to finish off the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard, something unexpected happened.
The Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard forced itself to its feet, its hind claws bent as it knelt before Ye Ningze, its front paws slightly raised.
Mimicking humans, it repeatedly bowed to Ye Ningze.
Judging by its appearance, it seemed to want to submit to Ye Ningze.
"Are you surrendering?" Ye Ningze asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard nodded in a human-like manner, clearly understanding Ye Ningze's words.
Ye Ningze had long known that some ferocious beasts were particularly intelligent and could understand human language, but such ferocious beasts were very rare. He hadn't expected to encounter one today.
"I'm not too reassured. What if you regret it once your injuries heal?" Ye Ningze asked coldly.
With victory within his grasp, Ye Ningze did not let down his guard, constantly wary of the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard's counterattack.
However, the possibility was slim, as the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard was too severely injured to successfully ambush him.
Hearing Ye Ningze's words, a wisp of golden light suddenly flashed across the Shadow-Chasing Silver Dragon Leopard's forehead.
This wisp of golden light pierced through the void, and in the next moment, it burrowed into Ye Ningze's mind.
