System: Replicating The Heavens

Alex revealed a surprised look, looking at the young man. To reach such a cultivation stage at such a young age, it was basically impossible to appear in any force of the Wasteland.

And, as if to prove Alex's way of thinking, there was a middle-aged man standing beside the young man. This middle-aged man was someone who has far surpassed the Heaven Completion Stage.

"Crystal Transformation Stage!"

Alex took a deep breath after sensing the aura emanating from the middle-aged man. He didn't expect someone like the middle-aged man would appear here.

But... Why would a powerful expert like him come here?

Thinking of this, Alex started observing the scene unfolding secretly.

As time passed, the battle between the man and the beast became more and more intense. Rocks and dirt flew everywhere, even some of the giant trees that were tens of meters tall fell one by one under the impact from the two of them, and one of them even went as far as to come to a place less than a kilometer away from Alex in terms of fighting, almost discovering Alex.

Fortunately, the two of them ended up fighting in a region of dense forest and flat land at the foot of the hill.

However, the more he looked, the more Alex's frown deepened. From the start, the young man was still able to fight on equal terms with the Flaming Lion, but as time passed, he seemed to become more and more unstable. Now, he was completely at a disadvantage, being beaten up by the Flaming Lion.

According to Alex's guess, if nothing unexpected happened, the young man would probably be defeated immediately.

That young man seemed to have realized this as well. His attacks were becoming more and more aggressive. Even the sword techniques that were originally stable seemed to become unsteady.

"Crap!" Alex opened his mouth, and a burst of muffled sound came out as expected.

Due to the deviation in his attack, the young man was struck by the Flaming Lion's palm and flew straight into the forest behind him. He barely managed to stop after knocking down two large trees.

When he stood up again, the young man's face was as pale as paper. Traces of blood hung from the corners of his mouth, making him look delicate and touching.

On the other hand, the Flaming Lion in front of him had also come to a stop, its bell-like eyes staring straight at the little young man whose body was completely out of proportion to theirs, and its eyes filled with a thick, savage killing intent.

It was this young man that had caused so many injuries to its entire body, making it look like a mess. It was already planning on how to play with its prey.

"Hmm? Using a secret technique to raise the cultivation base? Interesting!" Looking at the pale young man, Alex seemed to have realized something, and suddenly smiled. The middle-aged man, who came with the young man and was watching everything from a distance, also nodded his head.

In a mere moment, a powerful aura that was more than ten times stronger than before was emitted from the young man's body. The terrifying aura pressured the opposing Flaming Lion to the point where it retreated two steps back.

However, this hesitation did not last long because the young man was already attacking him with his sword.

"BOOM!"

A half foot long sword light flew out from the young man's hand and landed directly on the Flaming Lion's body, instantly creating a one foot long hole.

This was just the beginning, but after that, more and more sword beams were flying toward the Flaming Lion. Looking around, there were at least ten sword beams, if all of them were to be implemented, even if the Flaming Lion did not die, it would still be skinned.

The Flaming Lion clearly noticed this as well, as the deafening roar resounded once again. It no longer retreated, and instead pounced towards the young man.

This time, his speed was as fast as lightning. After enduring seven or eight sword rays' attacks, he viciously swiped at the young man's head.

If he was caught, he would die immediately!

At that moment, Alex almost wanted to rush out. Of course, he did not rush out just to save the young man. Not to mention, there was also that middle-aged man watching from the side. If the young man really falls in any danger, the middle-aged man would definitely save him.

After all, this young man was a genius. Why would he let a genius like him die here for nothing?

"Boom!"

"Pfft!"

Two crisp sounds rang out continuously. The young man had managed to avoid the vital parts at this critical moment, but his body was inevitably caught. A large wound immediately appeared on his back and blood immediately flowed out.

At the critical moment, the young man had stabbed the Flaming Lion in the head with his sword. Although it had only stabbed a foot, it was still enough to cause serious injuries!

"Bang! Bang!"

Two consecutive landing sounds rang out once again, and this time, the young man and the Flaming Lion fell to the ground at the same time.

Despite his severe injuries, the young man still stood up shakily. A porcelain bottle appeared in his hand and he seemed to be preparing to take out a pill to eat.

However, right at that moment, the Flaming Lion that had fallen to the ground actually crawled back up, and pounced towards the young man at an extremely fast speed, directly biting towards the young man's forehead with its big mouth, as if it wanted to kill the young man before it died.

The young man's expression changed as well. He never expected that the Flaming Lion's vitality would be so tenacious. He did not have time to swallow the pills and immediately waved his fist towards the gigantic Flaming Lion.

As for the sword, it was still stuck on the Flaming Lion's forehead!

"BOOM!"

A terrifying explosion could be heard as the young man was sent flying another ten meters before he crashed into a tree and stopped. The bottle in his hand had long since flown off into the distance.

The Flaming Lion spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

This time, the young man couldn't get up. He lay quietly in the grass under the big tree. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

As for the Flaming Lion not too far away, even though it was also lying on the ground, from the howls that came out of its mouth, it was obvious that it was not dead. Furthermore, it was constantly trying to get up from the ground.

"It is still not dead?"

Seeing the Flaming Lion, the middle-aged man was also surprised, but he was not too conflicted. His gaze landed on the young man and swept across his location, and after discovering that there was still no movement from the young man, the middle-aged man finally opened his mouth, "You there, come and face this beast. You have been watching the show for quite a while now. It is now time to show me what you got!"

Alex was surprised to see the middle-aged man looking in his direction and talking. It was obvious that the middle-aged man had already discovered him. Alex knew he has to do what the middle-aged man has just said, otherwise, he might fall in danger. After all, with his current strength, even if he were to use the Heavy Earth Sword, he wouldn't be able to win against a Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior. The gap between the two is simply too big.

Anyway, he also wanted to see if he could deal with this injured Flaming Lion without the help of the Heavy Earth Sword.

So, without saying a single word, Alex stood up from the grass and quickly walked towards the Flaming Lion's location. Without even looking at the young man's situation, Alex immediately went to the Flaming Lion's side.

Just as Alex was about 5 meters away from the Flaming Lion, the Flaming Lion that was struggling non-stop suddenly crawled up from the ground, staring intently at Alex with its pair of huge eyes, causing Alex to stop suddenly.

Even Alex did not expect the Flaming Lion to be able to stand up after experiencing such a severe injury and its aura seemed to be rather fierce.

"Roar!"

The Flaming Lion roared at Alex. It also lowered its huge body, obviously intending to attack Alex at any time.

Alex remained motionless for some time and watched the Flaming Lion carefully. Then he suddenly sped up. He took out the ordinary sword and drew an arc in the air. Although he only used an ordinary sword, he did use his Sword Intent in this attack and pierced his sword straight towards the Flaming Lion's forehead.

"Puchi!"

Alex's ordinary sword immediately pierced into the forehead of the Flaming Lion without any interruption. It was as if the Flaming Lion's forehead was nothing but a smooth tofu.
