Chapter 247: Danger Approaches, Spirit Pet Rescue

"Stop!" The old voice echoed in the stone chamber, but it couldn't stop the fierce battle before him. Lei Hu sneered, turning a deaf ear to the call. Instead, he commanded his spirit pet even more fiercely, his sharp claws wrapped in strong winds, attacking Ren Xiaoyao with each ruthless move.

Ren Xiaoyao's spiritual energy was already disrupted by the use of a technique he hadn't fully mastered, and now facing the Thunder Tiger's pursuit, he was in even greater danger. He tried his best to dodge, but was still scratched on the arm by the sharp claws of a spiritual pet, and blood instantly stained his clothes red.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Meanwhile, Xia Lin cried anxiously, surrounded by three spirit pets, unable to escape. She wielded her dagger with deft dexterity, but her strength was clearly failing. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead, and her once effortless defense became increasingly strained.

"Haha, Ren Xiaoyao, you've come to this day!" Lei Hu laughed wildly as he looked at the disheveled Ren Xiaoyao. "Just surrender yourself, and maybe I can spare your life!"

Ren Xiaoyao ignored Lei Hu's cries. He gritted his teeth, trying to steady the surging Qi and blood within him. He knew he couldn't fall, or else both he and Xia Lin would perish. He endured the excruciating pain, summoning the remaining spiritual energy within him, preparing for a final stand.

At this moment, a low roar suddenly emanated from the depths of the stone chamber. The sound was filled with savagery and oppression, as if it came from an ancient beast, making people shudder.

Lei Hu's laughter abruptly stopped. He looked towards the source of the sound with uncertainty, a sense of inexplicable fear rising in his heart. Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin also stopped moving at the same time. They both sensed that some powerful being was awakening...

"Roar—" A deafening roar echoed throughout the stone chamber, shaking the ground and sending dust billowing. A massive figure slowly emerged from the shadows, its every step causing the ground to tremble.

"The King of Spirit Pets..." Elder Feng's voice trembled, his eyes fixed on the gradually clearing figure, muttering to himself, "How could it be here?" The King of Spirit Pets was covered in dark golden scales, reflecting a chilling light in the flickering firelight. It had the body of a lion, majestic and imposing, but on its back grew a pair of massive black wings, their tips gleaming with a metallic sheen. Its blood-red eyes, like two blazing flames, scanned the surroundings, emitting a terrifying aura of dominance.

"Roar——" Another earth-shaking roar. This roar seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power, which made all the creatures present feel a shudder in the depths of their souls.

When Thunder Tiger's pets heard the roar, their ferocious eyes instantly turned into terror. They all stopped attacking, and some even began to tremble, trying to retreat with their tails between their legs, but they dared not move because of their master's orders.

"What's going on?!" Lei Hu roared, pulling hard at the chains in his hands, trying to control the restless spirit pets, "Go! Kill them!"

However, the reactions of the spirit pets were beyond his expectations. They looked at the spirit pet king in fear, their bodies trembling even more violently, and refused to obey his commands at all.

At this moment, the King of Spirit Pets' gaze fell on Ren Xiaoyao. It saw the blood on Ren Xiaoyao's body, and also saw the unyielding will in his eyes. For some reason, a complex emotion flashed in the King of Spirit Pets' blood-red eyes, seemingly sympathy, but also anger.

It suddenly howled to the sky, its voice filled with sorrow and anger, as if accusing something. Then, it turned its head sharply, staring at Lei Hu and his spirit pets with blood-red eyes, and an invisible murderous aura instantly spread.

"Not good!" Elder Feng's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "It's going to attack Thunder Tiger!"

The King of Spirit Pets seized this opportunity and charged towards Thunder Tiger's group of spirit pets. Its sturdy figure and incredible strength instantly… The King of Spirit Pets seized this opportunity and charged towards Thunder Tiger's group of spirit pets. Its sturdy figure and incredible strength instantly knocked several spirit pets flying, causing wailing sounds to echo. Those spirit pets that were knocked away by it, some with broken ribs, others with damaged internal organs, all rolled on the ground in pain, unable to fight.

Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao also cheered up. He jumped up and swung his long sword like the wind, and the sword energy was so strong that he forced back several spirit pets that tried to attack. He and the spirit pet king cooperated tacitly. Like two bolts of lightning, they shuttled through the group of Lei Hu's spirit pets and attacked with unstoppable force.

Lei Hu originally thought that he had victory in his grasp, but he did not expect the situation to change suddenly. The spirit pets that had been obedient to him now ignored his orders, which made him shocked and angry.

"Waste! All of them!" Lei Hu roared in frustration. He swung the chains in his hands vigorously, trying to control the restless spirit pets, but to no avail. He watched his spirit pets fall one by one, and his heart became more and more panicked.

"Lei Hu, are you still stubborn?" Ren Xiaoyao saw Lei Hu's miserable appearance and shouted, "Do you think you can do whatever you want with these spiritual pets? You are wrong! Today, I will make you pay for your actions!"

"Hmph! Ren Xiaoyao, don't get complacent too soon!" Although Lei Hu was panicking in his heart, he refused to admit defeat. "I still have more powerful methods that I haven't used yet! When I use them, you can prepare to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Hu suddenly took out a black pill from his arms and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Be careful! He is going to fight to the death!" Elder Feng's face changed drastically when he saw Lei Hu's actions and exclaimed.

After Lei Hu swallowed the pill, a powerful spiritual power suddenly burst out from his body. His eyes turned blood red, his hair stood on end, and he looked like a madman.

"Roar--" Lei Hu roared to the sky, his voice was deafening, his aura was rising steadily, and he actually suppressed the king of spirit pets.

"Ren Xiaoyao, give me your life!" Lei Hu roared, his figure flashed, and turned into a shadow, rushing towards Ren Xiaoyao, with a speed that was astonishing.

"Not good!" Elder Feng thought to himself when he saw this and wanted to help, but it was too late.

Ren Xiaoyao also felt the powerful aura emanating from Lei Hu. He was startled, knowing that Lei Hu was ready to fight to the death. He did not dare to neglect it and quickly mobilized all his spiritual power, preparing to fight...

With a loud "boom," the ground shook, smoke and dust rose up, and the king of spirit pets blocked Ren Xiaoyao's way, using its huge body to absorb the Thunder Tiger's violent attack. However, the Thunder Tiger's power was beyond everyone's imagination...

"Crack--" With a crisp sound, a scale on the king of spirit pets was shattered by Lei Hu's punch and flew out.

"What?!" Elder Feng was stunned when he saw this scene, his face full of disbelief, "How is this possible?!"
