Godslayer: Agent of the Gods, the Stabilizing Force at the Start

Everyone nodded in agreement and then embarked on their journey to the Cloud and Mist Mountains.

They traveled in a specially designed off-road vehicle, heading towards the Cloud and Mist Mountains along the winding mountain road.

The scenery along the way was picturesque, but no one had the heart to appreciate it.

They were filled with tension and anticipation, not knowing what awaited them.

Outside the car window, rolling hills stretched out, shaded by lush trees. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the ground. But their gazes remained fixed ahead, as if their destiny lay hidden there.

After several hours of bumpy travel, they finally arrived at the foot of the Cloud and Mist Mountains.

As soon as I got off the bus, a breath of fresh air hit me, instantly invigorating me.

But Su Ming knew that countless dangers lurked behind this beauty.

"Everyone be careful. From now on, we must remain vigilant at all times," Su Ming warned. His voice was deep and powerful, like an alarm bell ringing in everyone's ears.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then, according to the plan, they began to head deeper into the mountains.

They walked along a narrow path, flanked by dense forests whose trees blocked out the sun, making the forest exceptionally dark.

The occasional sounds of various animals could be heard, sending chills down one's spine.

Some of these calls were sharp and piercing, while others were low and hoarse, as if they were declaring their sovereignty over this forest.

As we walked, suddenly, we heard a rustling sound coming from the grass ahead.

Su Ming immediately stopped and made a shushing gesture.

Everyone drew their weapons and looked ahead warily.

Their hearts raced, their breathing quickened, and everyone tensed up, bracing for the challenge to come.

Suddenly, a gigantic monster sprang out of the bushes. Its body was covered in black scales, and its eyes gleamed red. It lunged at them, baring its fangs and claws.

This monster was more than two people tall and looked extremely ferocious.

Its scales gleamed with a cold light in the sunlight, like a layer of hard armor; its claws were as sharp as knives, and each swing brought a whooshing sound.

"Watch out, that's a Blackscale Demon Leopard!" Su Ming shouted, his voice echoing through the silent forest, full of warning.

The Blackscale Demon Panther is an extremely ferocious magical beast, possessing incredible speed and formidable attack power.

Moreover, its scales are as hard as iron, making it difficult to harm it with ordinary attacks.

Its speed is as fast as lightning, and it can cover a distance of several meters in an instant. Its attack power is so strong that it can easily tear apart steel.

Su Ming was the first to rush forward, and he conjured a longsword of spiritual energy in his hand, thrusting it towards the Black Scale Demon Leopard.

The Black Scaled Leopard nimbly dodged Su Ming's attack, then pounced on him, its claws viciously clawing at Su Ming's chest.

Su Ming quickly dodged to the side, while simultaneously swinging his spiritual energy sword at the Black Scale Demon Leopard's belly.

His movements were swift and agile, each action brimming with power and skill, as if he were engaged in a life-or-death dance with the Black Scaled Leopard.

Lin Qiye and Hongying also joined the battle.

Lin Qiye chanted incantations and formed hand seals, sending beams of spiritual energy towards the Black Scale Demon Leopard.

Hongying brandished her sharp blade like a black lightning bolt, weaving around the Black Scaled Leopard, searching for its weakness.

Lin Qiye's spiritual energy shone like dazzling shooting stars, piercing through the dark forest. Her red-tasseled blade gleamed coldly in the sunlight as she moved swiftly around the Black Scale Demon Leopard, a dazzling display of power.

Although Baili Pangpang was a little scared, he mustered up his courage, picked up a large rock from the side, and threw it at the Black Scale Demon Leopard.

The stone struck the Blackscale Demon Leopard with a dull thud, but it did not cause it much damage.

His hands trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he still gripped the stone tightly, ready to attack again.

Enraged by the group's attacks, the Black-Scaled Demon Panther intensified its assault.

It kept lunging at the crowd, its claws and teeth waving incessantly, making it impossible to defend itself.

Each of its attacks was powerful, leaving deep marks on the ground with its claws, and the surrounding trees shook violently from its blows.

Su Ming and his companions engaged in a fierce battle with the Black Scale Demon Leopard.

Their spiritual energy was constantly being depleted, and their clothes were soaked with sweat.

But they never backed down; they all held a firm belief in their hearts: they must defeat the Blackscale Demon Leopard and continue forward.

Their eyes were filled with determination and unyielding spirit, as if they were declaring their resolve to the Blackscale Demon Leopard.

Just as the battle reached a stalemate, Su Ming suddenly discovered a weakness in the Black Scale Demon Leopard.

Taking advantage of a lull in the Black Scale Demon Leopard's attack, he leaped up suddenly, his spiritual sword brimming with power, aiming for the Black Scale Demon Leopard's eyes.

The Black-Scaled Leopard let out a miserable cry, its body swayed a few times, and then it collapsed heavily to the ground.

Its eyes were pierced by Su Ming's longsword, and blood gushed out. Its body struggled on the ground a few times before ceasing to move.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts filled with joy as they looked at the fallen Black-Scaled Leopard.

Although the battle had taken a toll on their energy, they had also successfully defeated a ferocious monster, which boosted their confidence for the rest of their journey.

A relieved smile appeared on their faces as they looked at each other, their eyes filled with trust and gratitude.

"Is everyone alright?" Su Ming asked with concern, his voice tinged with fatigue, but mostly with care for his companions.

Everyone said they were fine.

"That's good. Let's move on," Su Ming said, his voice firm and powerful, as if encouraging everyone to continue.

So the group packed up their weapons and continued their journey deeper into the mountains.

They knew this was only the first danger they encountered in the Cloud Mist Mountains, and many more challenges awaited them.

But they were not afraid, because they were a team with a common goal and belief.

Inside the luxurious private dining room, the light from the crystal chandelier, which should have been bright and warm, seemed to be shrouded in a heavy and oppressive atmosphere, becoming somewhat dim.

The paintings by famous artists hanging on the surrounding walls depict tranquil and beautiful scenery, which is completely out of place with the tense atmosphere inside the private room.

Master Tianya's words were like a boulder, splashing into the calm lake of Su Ming and the others, stirring up waves.

Master Tianya looked earnestly forward, his body slightly leaning forward as he stared intently at Su Ming, his eyes filled with pleading: "Young friend Su, I once again implore you to lend a helping hand."
