Chapter 2217 — Surrounding the Fire Lion
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
But at that moment, the green-robed expert nearest the little fire lion struck as well!
"Bang!" The green-robed expert's palm slammed into the little fire lion, sending it staggering backward. It was not enough to wound it gravely, but clearly the green-robed expert's full-force blow had taught it a bitter lesson!
"Roar!" The little fire lion loosed an angry roar and sprang at the green-robed expert, meaning to avenge that blow.
The green-robed expert had already probed the limits of the little fire lion's strength; though he could not kill it, it could certainly never get the better of him. Even if the little fire lion went berserk, the worst he would suffer was a light wound—it was impossible for it to cause him any real trouble.
"Little wretch, you do not know death when you see it—your grandpa will give you another slap!" The green-robed expert vented all the fury he had felt toward the white-robed brawny man upon the little fire lion and swung his palm again!
This time, however, the little fire lion was clearly prepared. Knowing the green-robed expert was not to be trifled with, it nimbly dodged the slap as it leaped, then drove all four legs hard into the green-robed expert's chest!
"Bang!" Caught off guard, the green-robed expert took the little fire lion's trampling square on. In an instant his chest churned with blood and qi; though he was not injured, it was thoroughly uncomfortable!
"Insolent! Little beast, you court death!" Before the little fire lion could get away, the green-robed expert gathered power into both arms and drove out both fists at once!
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The little fire lion was blasted straight away by the furious green-robed expert, flung into the very center of the ring formed by Wei Zhao and the other three. It struggled on the ground a moment before clambering up—clearly it had taken some injury!
Those furious twin fists of the green-robed expert were no light matter either.
The little fire lion seemed to know it was no match for the green-robed expert, for it at once turned its head and ran toward the central range of the mountains! But it had miscalculated—ahead of it waited an even more formidable white-robed brawny man!
Just as the little fire lion was about to break through the encirclement, the white-robed brawny man planted himself squarely in its path.
He was the highest-ranked expert among them; naturally he could not lose face as the green-robed expert had, nor could he afford to. So before the little fire lion could spring, he struck first!
"Little wretch, your grandpa will have a bit of sport with you!" the white-robed brawny man said, and lashed out at the little fire lion with a kick!
He was treating the little fire lion as though it were Wei Zhao. He knew he could not avenge that slap and kick from Wei Zhao, so he vented his resentment upon the little fire lion!
"Bang!"
With a great crash, the little fire lion was kicked clean off the ground by the white-robed brawny man and sent flying—landing, by sheer coincidence, heavily at the black-robed expert's feet!
This time the little fire lion's injuries looked graver than before. It struggled on the ground, and before it could rise, the black-robed expert kicked it flying once more...
These men were kicking a little fire lion about as though it were a ball. Sun Jingyan could not bear to watch; the little fire lion had meant no harm to any of them—it had only wanted to flee—and yet they tormented it so.
