My sister is Luna

On the other side of the forest, a duel between hunter and prey is unfolding.

Damn it, they're still chasing after us relentlessly.

Lanling Wang held his breath and hid behind a large tree, his back pressed tightly against the trunk. He held a poisoned dagger in one hand and a sharp thorn on his other arm to protect his chest.

His hair was disheveled, his clothes were tattered, and his strong muscles were vaguely visible. He had just gone through a dangerous battle, and if it weren't for his intuition honed from years of living on the edge of life and death, he might be dead by now.

From an outsider's perspective, there was no sign of Lanling Wang behind the tree, and it was difficult to detect his presence. Despite his perfect invisibility, which was as if he were blending into nature, he was now trembling with fear, his muscles tense, and a thin layer of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Lanling Wang has met his true match.

The opponent was also a lurking assassin, possessing concealment skills comparable to his own. Despite having such a massive body several meters long, it could perfectly hide its form in the shadows, and it was even more patient than him. Even though it had suffered considerable injuries, it still made Lanling King feel terrified.

The feeling of frustration and resentment that had always been that of a hunter now turned into that of a prey filled Lanling Wang's heart.

A rustling sound came from beside Lanling Wang's ear, like a gentle breeze, but he knew that the demonic seed was beginning to move.

It was searching for Lanling King's figure. Even if he was invisible, as long as it smelled a confirmed scent, it could pinpoint Lanling King's location with unparalleled accuracy, and then launch a deadly attack with its gleaming iron claws.

Lanling Wang closed his eyes and carefully sensed the movement of the wind and grass on the ground.

Suddenly, he opened his bluish eyes and thrust the dagger in his hand forward. Green blood blossoms appeared out of thin air in front of Lanling King.

"Roar……"

A piercing, unpleasant growl rang out, and the figure of the "hunter" gradually appeared ahead. Its dark silver body was covered with silver scales that faintly reflected a green light, covering its slender and strong physique. Beneath its ferocious face were jagged sharp teeth, and its malevolent eyes gleamed with an eerie green light. A pair of twisted horns on its head indicated its dragon identity.

This is a dragon-like demon that doesn't resemble a dragon at all; it's more like a venomous snake or wolf lurking in the shadows, a cunning predator.

Its most striking feature is its pair of chilling, steel-like claws; everyone knows that a single blow from them could be fatal.

The Shadow Beast retracted its iron claws, licked the green blood from its forepaws, lowered its body, its muscles trembling, and glared fiercely at Lanling King.

Its dwindling energy wouldn't allow it to linger any longer. It also sensed other creatures approaching and knew it had to quickly eliminate its prey.

My poison has no effect on it. It has already found me and can't escape, so I have no choice but to attack it head-on.

Lanling Wang watched as the Shadow Beast assumed its unique ready-to-attack stance, preparing to strike its prey with all its might, and quickly began to think.

He still has revenge to take...

A small, helpless red figure, crying and sobbing, flashed through my mind.

Unconsciously, Lanling Wang gripped the sharp spikes covering his arm, gathering all his energy. There was no way out; only by facing the situation head-on could he survive.

Whether we live or die depends on this final blow!

The Shadow Beast launched the first attack, its bulging muscles radiating immense, savage power. With a powerful stomp of its limbs, spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the ground beneath its feet, the air groaned under its strain, and a sonic boom resounded.

In the shadowy depths of the forest, only the silver-white iron claws gleamed with a cold light, proclaiming that any life that collided with them would be torn to shreds. Within their sinister, eerie green vertical pupils shone a bloodthirsty crimson light that devoured life.

I've already won. No weak creature can stop my tearing apart, and this diminutive human is no exception! The Shadow Beast might have thought this as the "victorious hunter."

But nothing in this world is absolute.

As the shadowy beasts hurtled towards him like lightning, the pain of death relentlessly pierced Lanling King's body. His bones trembled, and every cell screamed, "Run!" But Lanling King remained calm and did not give up.

He aimed his spikes directly at the incoming shadow beast, placing one foot forward and the other behind for support. This would be one of the most powerful attacks he had ever unleashed.

"Roar!!!" The roar was close at hand. Lanling King held a sharp spike, and the sound of the ground breaking rang out. His figure flashed, and it seemed as if countless figures of himself could be seen. The spike seemed to collide with the iron claw, but in fact, several cold lights flashed on the shadow beast.

"laugh--!"

In an instant, life and death were decided.

I won.

Lanling Wang was certain of this.

"Ouch..."

The Shadow Beast overpowered Lanling King and pinned him to the ground. Just as it was about to swing its iron claws again, the claws fell to the ground with a "whoosh," and several wounds appeared on its body. Greenish blood splattered all over Lanling King. The Shadow Beast let out a mournful howl and collapsed to the side.

The Shadow Beast was unwilling to accept defeat. As a top predator, when had it ever failed, even when it was injured? Let alone hunting prey weaker than itself.

Bloodlust, madness, sorrow, chaos, rage... all sorts of malicious negative emotions piled up and grew stronger in the Shadow Beast's heart. It seemed to see a pitch-black door open before it, and then it completely lost consciousness...

"Pfft!" Lanling King spat out a mouthful of blood. The immense pressure had also caused him great injuries. Although he had won, it was a Pyrrhic victory.

"Ugh!" But to everyone's surprise, the blood of this shadow beast contained poison. The poison seeped into Lanling King's body and rampaged wildly. He fainted and his life was in danger.

But in this dangerous forest, death was already inevitable.

Just then, a commotion came from the bushes, and a person staggered out.

Lanling Wang might be saved.

……

"Hehehehe..." Joyful laughter echoed in Li Xin's ears.

Li Xin looked warily at the strange humanoid creature in front of him.

The humanoid demon, about a meter long, was wreathed in bright flames. Surprisingly, its flames did not set the surrounding trees ablaze, but they did make people feel its intense heat.

It grinned at Li Xin, like a child seeing something amusing. Its seemingly innocent smile made people subconsciously lower their guard, thinking it was just a mischievous demon.

Fire element—that was the name of the humanoid demon before Li Xin. Li Xin knew he had encountered a formidable enemy. His physical attacks were completely ineffective against it, and his sword energy would only pierce its body but could not harm it at all. Only the power of the demonic path could damage it.

The area is filled with towering ancient trees. Using his Domination form, Li Xin cannot move freely. These trees will restrict his movements and hasten his death.

As for the berserk form, to be honest, he really didn't like using it, and the "little guy" in front of him was very agile. Perhaps he, who didn't have much rationality at that time, would have been kited to death by it.

"Hehe..." The fire elemental opened its big, fiery eyes, then suddenly twisted its lips into an evil smile.

It would hop onto tree branches, land in the grass, and gently touch the big tree beside it, but its eyes remained fixed on Li Xin.

Li Xin retreated, and it followed closely behind.

After a long time, perhaps seeing that Li Xin remained vigilant, and realizing that its previous effective tactics against passersby were no longer working, the fire element began to grow impatient, and anger began to surface on its face.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" The fire elementals began to fly nimbly toward Li Xin, their eyes filled with a longing joy, or rather, the joy of about to eat food.

As Li Xin ran, he brandished his sword, sending streaks of sword energy towards the fire elemental, but they passed right through its body, leaving the fire elemental unharmed.

"Hehehe!" The fire element, with a malicious smile, climbed onto Li Xin's sword blade, then, like a fiery serpent, it ascended his sword-wielding arm. Threads of flame burrowed into his pores and entered his blood vessels, beginning to drain his life force.

"Ugh!" Li Xin stopped, clutching his arm that had been invaded by the fire element, an excruciating pain engulfing his entire body.

At the same time, he felt his eyelids getting heavier and his vision getting dimmer, but Li Xin still forced himself to stay awake. He knew this was a trick of the fire element, and if he fell asleep, he would never wake up again.

The power of light and darkness within his body began to activate, fighting against the fire element.

"Hehehe!" Seemingly having discovered something extraordinary, the fire element launched an even more ferocious attack, recklessly ramming into Li Xin's body and frantically absorbing his life force.

Two energies collided within Li Xin's body, and he experienced extreme pain, constantly teetering on the edge of life and death.

"You want my body that badly?" Li Xin roared. "Impossible! I won't die in this godforsaken place, I won't die at your hands!"

"Those who wanted to eat me, I ended up eating them all!"

An unwillingness to die erupted in Li Xin's heart, and the power of light and darkness surged suddenly, beginning to surround and envelop the fire element.

"Huh? Huh? Huh!" The fire elemental was panicked and helpless, with nowhere to escape.

It suddenly realized that it was no match for this power of light and darkness, and its power was being defeated one after another.

This is where you'll die!

"Die!"

The forces of light and darkness relentlessly assaulted the fire element, which struggled desperately, but to no avail. The forces of light and darkness began to devour it bit by bit.

"Ah!" With a scream, the fire element completely dissipated into pure energy, and everything finally calmed down again.

"Ha...ha...ha..." Li Xin kept panting heavily, his hand holding the sword trembling, undergoing an unknown change.

After a while, he forced himself to stand up and stumbled into the bushes. This place was not safe to stay, and the whole forest was not safe to stay. There were too many unknowns, so it was best to leave quickly.

Upon arriving at another location, Li Xin discovered a "familiar" person covered in thick, green blood. A dark silver iron claw gleaming with a cold light clung to his body, while the corpse of a giant demon lay in a pool of blood beside him.

"It's you!"

……

The familiar person was taken away by Li Xin.

The shadow beast lay quietly in the lake formed by blood, waiting for the passage of time and the erosion of the breeze to turn it into dust or nutrients and merge into the earth.

But its corpse began to dissipate, and a dark purple light flashed in the pool of green blood, like an eye opening.
