The First Saint of Dan Dao

"Roar!" A shout was heard, and Tang Yan felt a strong wind on the left. He quickly launched the Phantom Step and leaped backwards diagonally. He saw a black shadow pounce over where he had just stood.

At this moment, Tang Yan finally saw the thing clearly, it was actually a wild beast!

This big guy is three meters long, completely black, with a smooth body, and is cleverly hidden in the night.

After taking a closer look, Tang Yan was shocked. How come this leopard looks so much like a ghost leopard? This is a spiritual beast!

Spirit beasts can be divided into nine levels according to their bloodline. It is said that seventh-level spirit beasts can speak human language, practice supreme magic, and have amazing combat power. Spirit beasts above the second level have animal cores in their bodies, which contain a large amount of spiritual energy and are top-grade medicinal materials for alchemy.

If it was a second-level spirit beast, it would be fine, but the ghost leopard is a third-level spirit beast, equivalent to a Xuan-level warrior. The difference in strength is so great that Tang Yan immediately decided to run away.

You Bao missed the attack and looked at Tang Yan with some curiosity, not understanding how this guy who looked so weak could be so fast.

The leopard, who didn't believe in evil, leaned back, exerted force on his hind legs, and pounced towards Tang Yan again as fast as lightning.

Tang Yan was shocked and used his Phantom Step at full force, running wildly without looking back.

"Roar!" Seeing Tang Yan dodge his attack again and run away, Youbao roared angrily and also launched an attack speed and rushed towards Tang Yan.

As a third-level spirit beast, the Phantom Leopard not only possessed powerful physical strength, but was also extremely fast. What made Tang Yan even more annoyed was that when the Phantom Leopard ran, it actually concealed its breath perfectly, making it impossible for him to accurately capture the Phantom Leopard's breath, and thus unable to determine whether the Phantom Leopard had caught up with him.

"Huh!" After passing a huge rock, Tang Yan had to take a detour. Suddenly, a huge figure jumped directly onto the rock, kicked hard with its hind legs, and rushed towards him quickly with this powerful inertia.

Feeling a sharp aura like a thorn in his back, Tang Yan groaned inwardly. He gritted his teeth to force the true energy in his dantian to circulate quickly, and with the Phantom Step, he rushed forward fiercely.

"Bang!" A heavy sound rang out behind him, and he felt the air around him explode rapidly, and a sense of relief for having survived the catastrophe arose spontaneously. If he had been hit by such a heavy blow, he would have died with a smile on his face.

And in that thrilling moment just now, Tang Yan actually forced out his potential and took his understanding of the Phantom Step to a higher level.

Feeling his faster speed, Tang Yan felt more relieved. Although his speed was still not as fast as the Phantom Leopard, the Phantom Step was more agile and allowed him to move in any direction. At this moment, Tang Yan was dodging the Phantom Leopard's attacks and was less embarrassed than before.

"Brother Bao, you haven't caught up with me for such a long time, and it won't be easy to catch up with me again. How about we just give up now?" Tang Yan shouted back while running for his life.

"Roar!" Tang Yan responded with another fierce leopard pounce.

Tang Yan slid to the left and back, turned around at a weird angle and ran for his life again. Although the ghost leopard was very fast, it was huge after all. When it turned around, the distance between Tang Yan and it was widened a lot.

After running for more than ten kilometers, the benefits of escaping all the way were extremely obvious. Tang Yan's understanding of the Phantom Step became deeper. He staggered when he walked at the beginning, but now he can run a long distance in a breath.

The proficiency of the Phantom Step increased, but the true energy in the Dantian was almost exhausted. Tang Yan took out a high-spirituality pill from his arms and threw it into his mouth without saying anything.

When the pill entered his mouth, the vital energy in his dantian, which was originally extremely exhausted, instantly flowed. Tang Yan was shocked and concentrated on hiding again.

The two sides went around in circles like this for more than two hours. Tang Yan swallowed three high-level spiritual pills and was thinking how powerful this third-level spiritual beast was. Suddenly, he felt the breath behind him dissipate. Tang Yan looked back curiously and stopped when he found that the ghost leopard was also panting.

Damn, you are finally tired!

Seeing the ghost leopard that seemed hopeless to catch up with him, Tang Yan sneered, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. He picked up a stone, threw it at the ghost leopard with the true energy, and shook the long sword in his hand, and followed closely.

"Bang!" The leopard swung its front paw and smashed the stone into pieces. Tang Yan's sword had also arrived and pierced the leopard's eyes.

The sword was as fast as lightning, and Tang Yan thought You Bao had used up all his strength and had no time to dodge.

The Youbao's body nimbly moved to the side, avoiding the sword that was aimed at his vitals. However, the long sword in Tang Yan's hand also slid across the side of the Youbao's neck, leaving a long scar on his neck.

"Roar!" Seeing that the guy he had already let go dared to turn around and provoke him, You Bao immediately became furious and rushed towards Tang Yan again with a roar.

Feeling Youbao's anger, Tang Yan was shocked. Wow, this guy still has the energy?

In a panic, Tang Yan didn't bother to attack the Youbao anymore. He turned around and continued to run wildly, but the angry Youbao chased him again. After more than an hour, the Youbao finally stopped again.

Tang Yan has elixirs on him, so he is naturally not afraid of running out of true energy.

After running wildly for nearly four hours, Tang Yan didn't believe that You Bao still had the energy left. After taking a high-spirituality pill, he picked up his sword and rushed forward again.

"Ding!" Tang Yan swung the long sword in his hand, and the ghost leopard raised its claws to meet it, and there was a long sound of metal interlacing. Tang Yan felt a numbness in his palm, and he almost lost his grip on the sword.

Tang Yan also had a certain understanding of the power of the Phantom Leopard at this moment. He was very calm and used the Xingyun Sword like flowing water.

Although the spirit beasts were powerful, they were far behind humans in terms of intelligence and moves. When seeing the fierce and erratic swordsmanship, the ghost leopard had no choice but to fight back with all its might, trying to use its strength to break down Tang Yan's advantage in moves.

After all, his strength had been almost used up, and Youbao was at the end of his strength. Although he was curious about why this weak human in front of him had such strong endurance, the current situation did not allow Youbao to think about it in detail.

"Puchi——" The long sword in Tang Yan's hand kept leaving wounds on the Youbao. The Youbao could only roar, exhausted, and as weak as a lamb to be slaughtered.

In just over ten minutes, Tang Yan had stabbed Youbao's throat with a sword. Youbao struggled unwillingly for a few times, and finally fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Although the fight lasted only a dozen minutes, the weak Phantom Leopard was a third-level spiritual beast after all, and it still possessed terrifying destructive power. After the battle, Tang Yan sat on the ground panting.

Thinking of tonight's experience, Tang Yan smiled bitterly. Originally, he just wanted to practice the Phantom Step, and thought it would take at least two months to master this set of steps. Unexpectedly, he not only learned it today, but also improved at an extremely terrifying speed.

I believe that it won’t be long before I can reach a certain level of success.

After resting on the ground for a while, Tang Yan turned over, raised his sword and cut open the head of the ghost leopard. A golden beast core appeared in Tang Yan's hand.

Feeling the spiritual energy contained in it, Tang Yan was delighted. Just as he was about to put it away, he suddenly felt the Cauldron of Creation of Heaven and Earth, which had been silent until now, burst into joy. Tang Yan was stunned. Why was this broken cauldron jumping around at this time?
