Long River Eternity

On the train, Wei Wu stared intently at Lin Ding as he battled the black lion. Confused, he asked, "Didn't Lin Ding rely on magic in his previous fights? When did his body become so strong that he could actually overpower a peak-level Jade Eternal Realm monster?"

Liu Xianxian shook her head, her tone revealing surprise: "I don't know either. I haven't seen him fight since the last time he defeated the giant ape. This is also the first time I've seen him fight with his physical body."

At this time, Lin Ding shook his spear, shattering the lion head on the tip of the spear. Then he put away the spear and pounced on the black lion with his bare hands.

Black Lion was originally apprehensive of Lin Ding's strength, but now, seeing him abandon his weapon, his fear instantly turned to anger. He roared, "Human, are you insulting me? How dare you fight me barehanded!"

Lin Ding snorted coldly, his voice low and firm: "Are you worthy?"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Ding had already rushed in front of the black lion, suddenly jumped up, and punched the black lion fiercely. The black lion also raised its huge claws to fight back.

There was a deafening roar, and the Black Lion took two steps back, while Lin Ding remained as steady as a rock, unmoved. This collision deeply shocked the Black Lion, and the physical confrontation made him realize that the power displayed by Lin Ding was no less than that of some demonic beasts in the early stage of the Heavenly Power Realm.

With just one punch, Black Lion sensed the gap between them and began to think of retreating. However, Lin Ding didn't give him a chance to breathe. Fists rained down like raindrops, his body constantly shifting left and right, forcing Black Lion to fend for himself and leave him no time to counterattack. He was like a giant sandbag being attacked crazily.

Another loud bang, and the black lion was once again knocked back by Lin Ding's power, even one of its heads being shattered. Black Lion ignored his own injuries, steadied himself, and seized this hard-won opportunity, lying on the ground and begging for mercy: "I surrender. I don't want the spirit stones on the train anymore. Can you let me go?"

Lin Ding slowly flew over the Black Lion, looking down at him with an impatient look on his face: "Give up? Who told you to give up? Get up and keep fighting!"

After saying that, he rushed towards the black lion again, and the dense fist shadows once again covered the black lion's body. Seeing that Lin Ding had no intention of letting him go, the black lion's instinct for survival was completely aroused, and despair and anger intertwined, making him even more crazy.

The black lion roared in despair, a voice like thunder that shook the entire train. Its eyes were bloodshot, and a ferocious aura emanated from its body, as if, in that moment, all fear and retreat had been thrown behind it. The black lion's claws scratched a deep mark on the ground, and with a sudden kick of its powerful hind legs, it pounced on Lin Ding in an instant.

"Human, today I will let you see my true power!" The black lion's voice was low and fierce. As it roared, the air around it seemed to become hot.

Lin Ding was momentarily stunned, having never expected the Black Lion to unleash such immense power in such desperate circumstances. With a shudder in his heart, he quickly adjusted his stance, bracing himself for the sudden attack. The Black Lion approached with lightning speed, its massive claws slashing a shadow as it struck Lin Ding in the face.

"Good timing!" Lin Ding was delighted and rushed forward, clenching his fists, all his strength gathered at this moment. He did not retreat but advanced, rushing towards the black lion's attack, his fists blasting out like cannonballs.

The collision between the two was like a sudden roar of thunder, a piercing sound filling the air. Lin Ding's fist collided with the black lion's claw, sending out a massive shockwave. Even from a distance, the passengers on the train covered their ears, faces filled with fear. Although the black lion was powerful, the strength displayed by Lin Ding's body at that moment made it feel a little uneasy.

However, the black lion didn't retreat. Its fury multiplied its strength, and when Lin Ding's fist deflected slightly, the black lion swiftly turned and swung its massive claws, striking Lin Ding in the side. Alerted, Lin Ding quickly adjusted his center of gravity and leaped back, avoiding the blow, but the black lion's attack continued.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this?" The black lion roared, took advantage of the situation and pounced on Lin Ding, opening its mouth to bite him. Seeing this, Lin Ding quickly rolled over to avoid it.

"That's interesting," Lin Ding thought to himself, then launched a counterattack, his fists raining down like raindrops, directly at the black lion. The black lion, in its rage, regained some of its fighting spirit and began to dodge nimbly, looking for opportunities to counterattack. Each of its attacks was filled with power and ferocity, forcing Lin Ding to give it his all to fight it off.

The passengers on the train held their breath, watching this thrilling battle intently. Seeing the Black Lion's soaring power, Liu Xianxian became extremely nervous and secretly prayed for Lin Ding: "Lin Ding, come on! You will definitely win!"

At this time, the middle-aged man, who had finally recovered a little, wanted to go up to help, but found that he could not help at all in the current battle.

At this moment, the black lion suddenly roared, squatted down suddenly, and then rushed towards Lin Ding at an incredible speed. The huge figure was like a mountain pressing down. Lin Ding was startled and had no time to react. He quickly dodged to the side, but the black lion's claws scratched his shoulder, leaving a shallow blood mark.

"Such a fierce counterattack before death!" Lin Ding was secretly vigilant, realizing that the black lion was no longer the monster he had suppressed before. Its anger and desire to survive greatly increased its fighting power, and even made him feel a little threatened.

"Looks like I have to use my true strength!" Lin Ding thought to himself, clenching his fists and energizing his spiritual energy. The air around him became tense and heavy. He knew that if he wanted to completely suppress the Black Lion, he had to give it his all.

"Die!" The black lion launched another fierce attack, its huge claws like blades, heading straight for Lin Ding. A glimmer of determination flashed in Lin Ding's eyes. He faced the black lion's attack without retreating, and punched out with both fists at the same time, meeting it head-on.

With a loud bang, Black Lion's claws collided with Lin Ding's fist. The shockwaves nearly ripped the air apart, and the train car trembled violently, knocking the passengers to the ground. Black Lion was thrown back, and Lin Ding seized the opportunity to strike him with a sweeping blow, striking directly at Black Lion's legs.

"It's over!" Lin Ding roared, his fists raining down on the black lion. The black lion struggled in pain and anger, trying to fight back, but Lin Ding's attacks came like a tide, leaving it no time to retaliate.

Finally, with a powerful punch, Black Lion's body was sent flying, crashing heavily into a mountain with a dull thud. By this time, Black Lion's momentum had weakened, and a hint of despair flickered in his eyes.

Black Lion took a deep breath, his face filled with resentment, but he was no longer able to resist. He knew that he could no longer compete with Lin Ding.

At this moment, fear once again filled the Black Lion's heart. Watching Lin Ding flying towards him, his huge body kept twisting and turning, and he struggled to adjust his posture. He crawled on the ground, lowered his head, and begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Let me go this time, I swear I will never set foot on human territory again."

Lin Ding floated in front of the black lion's massive head and said coldly, "You monsters have now developed intelligence comparable to humans, yet you only know how to invade and plunder, treating humans like dirt. Your invasions have destroyed countless families and left them homeless. Now that you're no match for me, you're begging for mercy. What gives you the right?"

Although Black Lion wanted to say that the strong prey on the weak and that the fittest survive, his life and death now depended on Lin Ding's thoughts, so he did not dare to argue at all and could only lower his head and remain silent.

Seeing that Black Lion remained silent, Lin Ding continued, "In ancient times, humans and demons coexisted peacefully, ruling the world separately. Now, you have chosen to oppose humanity. If you persist in your rebellion, I will surely eliminate all of your demonic beasts' high-end combat power and restore peace to humanity. Today, I will start with you."

When Hei Shi heard Lin Ding mention the ancient times, he was confused and didn't understand what Lin Ding was talking about at all, but he understood the second half of the sentence. It seemed that he would not be able to escape death today.

Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, Black Lion began to threaten viciously: "You can't kill me. If you kill me, my grandfather will definitely know. He is in the Tianji realm. If he attacks, you will definitely die."

Lin Ding was stunned at first, then sarcastically said, "This place is only a hundred miles away from Zhongzhou City. Zhongzhou City was recently invaded by Tianji Realm monsters. You monsters have such a strong sense of territory. How could so many Tianji Realm monsters exist in such a small area? How dare you fool me?"

Black Lion quickly shook his head and said with a hint of embarrassment, "My grandfather was the seven-headed black lion—the Mad Lion—that invaded Zhongzhou.

Lin Ding still looked at the black lion with suspicion and said, "You only have five heads, and your grandfather had seven?"

Black Lion explained: "It's true. Every time our clan breaks through a realm, we grow a new head. My grandfather is two realms higher than me, so he has two more heads than me. So if you dare to kill me, my grandfather will definitely not let you go."

After hearing this, Lin Ding angrily said, "Then you have even less reason to live. It was because of your grandfather's invasion that my parents are missing. I was planning to settle the score with him. It's perfect. I'll kill you now and let him come looking for me himself!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Ding condensed his spear again and shot it towards the head in the middle of the black lion like a meteor.

The black lion had no power to resist at this moment, and could only watch helplessly as the spear got closer and closer. Finally, with a loud "bang", Lin Ding struck out in anger, and the spear not only exploded the black lion's head, but also penetrated his body, and then plunged heavily into the mountain.

The train had already gone far away at this time, and Liu Xianxian and Wei Wu could no longer see the battle on Lin Ding's side. At this moment, they only heard a loud noise and a slight vibration from the ground. The two couldn't help but look worried.
