Awakening Of The Ancient: Rise Of The Fallen 152 Chapter 149: Going For The Kill

In no time, they were both bloodied because of the battle. Their roars echoed throughout the forest.

The loud roars managed to wake up Valeria, who was peacefully sleeping in Xu Ming's hands.

"What's happening?" she asked as she opened her eyes slowly.

She sat up as she looked around her to get a general understanding of the situation. 

"We are near a battle. The two big guys are fighting," Xu Ming told her as he pointed towards the beasts as the distance.

"Oh, I guess I fell asleep. You should've woken me up if you were coming here," she muttered as she flew up and landed on Xu Ming's shoulders.

"Are you going to hunt them?" she asked him.

"Yeah, just let them weaken each other first. It would save some of my energy," Xu Ming responded.

The fight of the beasts continued for quite some time. Both of them were extremely injured, but none of them was willing to give up.

After some time, It was clear that the Snow Eating Bear had won the battle.

The Blood Red Wolf was lying on the ground. Its breathing was weak, but it didn't look like it had the strength to sit up.

The Snow Eating Bear was about to deal the final blow when he sensed danger.

He wanted to dodge, but he was too late already. A sword came flying towards him and penetrated its neck. 

The Snow Eating Bear fell down to the ground and died instantly.

Xu Ming walked towards the Snow Eating Bear. He gripped the handle of his sword and pulled his sword out of its neck below, stabbing it in the chest of the Snow Eating Bear.

He walked towards the Blood Red Wolf that was lying on the ground, weakly.

The eyes of the Blood Red Wolf were still open when Xu Ming stabbed his sword in the body of the Blood Red Wolf multiple times, killing it.

Xu Ming kept the bodies of the Blood Red Wolf and the  Snow Eating Bear in his storage ring.

"That makes it 21. Good going so far. We only need to kill six more to break yesterday's record of  13 kills," Valeria said to Xu Ming.

"Yeah, it should be possible. We have most of the day. I'm hoping to finish the trial in less than three days, so I would need to increase the kills," Xu Ming muttered.

He started walking ahead as he again spread out his Divine Sense.

The Divine Sense converted 200 meters around Xu Ming. He saw a lot of weaker beasts and a few Gold Realm beasts as well, but he didn't see any other Peak Gold Realm beast.

He continued waiting ahead, and after 20 minutes, he found the beasts he was looking for through his Divine Sense.

He saw a pack of 100 Winged Lions. The Winged Lions had white wings on their back, but they couldn't use those wings to fly.

The Winged Lions could only use their wings to fly when they had reached the Earth Realm. Not of the Winged Lions was an Earth Realm beast amongst the pack of beasts that he was seeing.

Amongst the 100, The were 70 Spirit Grade Beasts and 30 Gold Grade Beasts. Amongst the 30 Gold Grade Beasts, only 6 of them were Peak Gold Grade Beasts.

Xu Ming walked towards the beasts.

"That's a good opportunity. You can break the record on one try," Valeria muttered as she saw the beasts.

"It's not that easy. There are too many beasts there. Generally, the weaker beasts would run away, but not this time. If I attack their home when their leaders are around, they will definitely not run away. I'd have to face them all," Xu Ming muttered.

"I'm sure you can do it. I can protect you against some of the attacks and watch your back while you focus on killing the beasts. You shouldn't ignore this group. I'm sure you can kill them all at once with my help," Valeria said. She had seen how Xu Ming fought, and she was confident that he would be able to deal with them. 

"Well, there is something that I can try, but it would cost me a lot of my Origin Energy. We would have no choice but to run if things don't go as planned," Xu Ming muttered.

Valeria was curious about what he was talking about. 

"There's no shame in running. Let's try what you suggested," she told Xu Ming.

Xu Ming gripped his sword firmly and started moving in the direction of the ground.

He jumped in the middle of the ground.

The Winged Lions roared as they saw Xu Ming. Most of them started attacking him, but Valeria's barrier protected him.

Xu Ming raised his hand towards the sky.

"Thunder Storm!" he let out with a power-filled voice.

His voice reverberated with nature.  The sky started to darken. Dark clouds covered the sky above their head. The clouds began roaring in as if a storm was brewing inside them.

After a few more seconds, hundreds of thunderbolts fell down from the sky. It seemed as if the heavens were angry and wanted to cleanse all the sins of this planet through their heavenly thunder.

The Thunderbolts fell all around Xu Ming, but not on him. Except for the spot where Xu Ming was standing, every other place suffered the wrath of thunder.

The Winged Lions were hit by the thunder and died instantly. Xu Ming had used most of his Origin Energy to cast the Thunderstorm this time and only had very little Origin Energy left inside his body.

These thunderbolts had managed to kill most of the Winged Lions. Only a few Winged Lions managed to escape the bolts as they ran away.

Almost all of the Peak Gold Realm Beasts were dead except one. 

There was one Peak Gold Realm Winged Lion who had managed to escape the thunderstorm. Only his wing was. .h.i.t by the thunderbolt, which injured him but didn't kill him.

As soon as the thunderstorm stopped, he roared loudly as he looked towards the sky.

The Peak Gold Realm Winged Lion jumped towards Xu Ming. His intention was clear. He wanted to kill Xu Ming to take revenge for what Xu Ming did to him.

Xu Ming watched the Winged  Lion coming towards him. 

"Valeria, cast the barrier!" Xu Ming told Valeria.

Valeria cast the barrier that stopped the Winged Lion attack from landing on Xu Ming.
