Chapter 146: Mad Leopard
With an eerie demonic aura spreading from the front, Shen Luo and Ying Luo instantly felt as if they fell into an ice cellar, their breaths hitching. All they could hear was the fierce pounding of their hearts.
“What a terrifying demonic aura!”
Shen Luo gazed upwards at the silent figure standing on a giant rock in front of them, his heart filled with horror. Not even the Senior Ancestor at the Soul Condensation Stage from Spring and Autumn Pavilion had given him such a feeling.
It was a leopard over two zhangs in length. Its proportionate and slender golden body clearly displayed a series of dark brown spots. Its leopard’s head, the size of a millstone, sported a pair of slender golden eyes and a tail about a zhang long, which seemed to be casually waving back and forth behind it.
Ying Luo’s cultivation level was already weaker than Shen Luo’s, and now she was enveloped by this powerful demonic aura. Her body was slightly trembling, making it almost hard to breathe, but her eyes reflected a stubborn light. Her legs tensed up, and she somehow managed to keep her body straight.
“Two juniors of the human race, you dare to step into my territory, you’ve got guts,” the golden leopard spoke human language, staring down at the two of them with the air of a giant beast from the ancient times.
“Elder, we didn’t mean to trespass. This girl has lived at the foot of the mountain for a long time, and I happened to be passing by. Because we couldn’t find a way out at the foot of the mountain, we daringly climbed it. We didn’t know the elder’s rules and inadvertently entered here. We beg for your forgiveness!” Shen Luo took a deep breath, cupped his fist and said, his tone neither hurried nor slow.
Shen Luo’s calm demeanor also influenced Ying Luo beside him. She felt slightly settled, and her lovely, young cheeks regained some color.
“You come from outside?” The madness in the leopard’s eyes, which had been somewhat lazy, suddenly became more focused, its huge golden pupils staring directly at Shen Luo.
