Furthermore, this black sword was once used by the Ye family's ancestors to slaughter their enemies, so the blood aura lingered on the sword's body and was now available for Ye Xiao to use.
This was actually just a method to intimidate. The exact power it could unleash depended on the wielder. However, the great lion didn't know this, and he was terrified by the powerful blood aura emanating from the Jade Dragon Sword.
"The aura of the King, what is that sword... I have to leave!" Panicked and terrified, the great lion immediately turned and fled.
Ehhh...
Watching the great lion fleeing in panic, Ye Xiao looked confused and shocked. Wasn't it just blood aura? Why was it so afraid of it?
Didn't the power of blood only affect the Ye family? Why was the great lion so afraid of the blood aura from the Jade Dragon Sword?
Ye Xiao seemed confused by what was happening.
But Ye Xiao quickly came to his senses when he heard the Jade Dragon Sword Spirit's words in his mind.
"Master, hurry up and leave before he comes back."
Ehhh...
Hearing that, Ye Xiao immediately came to his senses and quickly ran in the opposite direction from the great lion.
Ye Xiao used all his strength to speed up his run.
On the other side, after dozens of meters away, seeing that Ye Xiao wasn't chasing after him, the great lion realized something.
"Was it just a trick?" The golden lion muttered, then immediately turned back to its previous location. In its mind, if the young man could use the sword to kill a King-stage cultivator, it would definitely chase after him. But this was the opposite. The great lion realized that it was impossible. At Ye Xiao's level, it was impossible. The sword likely emitted a powerful blood aura because its previous owner was a very powerful figure and had killed many powerful experts with it.
Therefore, the great lion hurriedly turned back to its previous location to catch Ye Xiao.
But...
When the great lion arrived, it couldn't find Ye Xiao anywhere. It tried to sense his aura, but its soul power was too weak to detect him.
"Auuummm... damn it..." The great lion roared and cursed angrily, chasing in the opposite direction from where it had left, hoping that Ye Xiao would go that way.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiao continued to sprint relentlessly. Because of the Jade Dragon Sword Spirit's words, Ye Xiao had a bad feeling that the great lion would likely notice something and return soon.
And sure enough, at the edge of his soul perception, Ye Xiao could sense the aura of the great lion moving rapidly toward him.
"Damn it..." Sensing this, Ye Xiao grew increasingly panicked. He exerted all his strength to the extreme to increase his speed. Furthermore, Ye Xiao also turned to the right to distract the great lion. Ye Xiao was certain that the great lion's soul power was so weak that its current pursuit was definitely based on intuition.
But before Ye Xiao could even reach tens of meters to the right, he sensed the aura of a large lion approaching his previous position.
"Damn, that's so fast!" Ye Xiao grew increasingly panicked, hoping the large lion wouldn't notice he'd turned right.
In the real world, lions are ferocious beasts capable of incredible speed. Even in the cultivation world, the large lion's speed was so incredible that it was able to sprint to Ye Xiao's location before he could turn right.
But now, Ye Xiao sensed that the large lion hadn't continued running straight ahead for a moment, but had instead stopped there.
"Did it notice something?" Ye Xiao grew increasingly panicked, but suddenly, Ye Xiao saw a light in the distance.
The entire area was extremely dark, as the tall, dense trees prevented sunlight from penetrating. Therefore, Ye Xiao and the large lion were essentially moving in darkness. Now, seeing the light, Ye Xiao found hope again.
Previously, he had been fortunate enough to escape death thanks to the Jade Dragon Sword's trickery. Seeing the light in the distance, Ye Xiao felt he couldn't waste this opportunity and managed to escape the great lion's pursuit.
But sure enough, the great lion had noticed something.
It couldn't sense Ye Xiao's aura through its soul perception, but it could discern clues from the footprints Ye Xiao left on the ground.
At this moment, Ye Xiao could sense the great lion had turned to the right with extremely rapid movement.
"Damn... damn... I must be able to..." Ye Xiao's mind was completely unsettled.
"I can..."
"I definitely can..."
Readers can imagine how panicked Ye Xiao was at this moment. Ye Xiao had absolutely no hope that the Jade Dragon Sword could save him again. After all, he had previously said that most of his true power had been used to save him from his father. Ye Xiao had even asked about it, and the sword spirit immediately refused to do so again, because if he did, he would truly become a broken sword that could not be used.
However, the Jade Dragon Sword possessed a soul, so Ye Xiao couldn't force his will even though he had imprinted a soul contract on it.
At this moment, only a few dozen meters remained before Ye Xiao could reach the light. From his current position, green grass appeared in front of him, indicating the outer area of this dense forest. Furthermore, the closer he got, the more Ye Xiao could see a large wall in the distance.
At this moment, Ye Xiao felt even more hopeful of survival, but...
Just as Ye Xiao had just stepped out of the forest, a large lion was already right behind him.
"Brat, you're dead!" The large lion roared angrily, its figure directly behind Ye Xiao raising a paw, ready to catch Ye Xiao.
"What... damn it... Help!!" Feeling immense fear, Ye Xiao screamed out in despair.
