123: The strongest battle!

In Kunlun Mountain, a dozen fierce beasts had gathered around the ox-headed statue emitting a blue light.

These fierce beasts all exuded powerful auras and looked menacing; after all, only those at least at the mid-second-tier level could stand here, while weaker beings dared not approach even a little.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a fierce beast finally couldn't hold back.

A scorpion, covered in a crystal-like shell and wielding a huge barbed tail, seemed unable to bear the invisible pressure of the place and finally attacked.

Its barbed tail whipped out incredibly fast, a whooshing sound instantly erupted, and its target was the pale white circle.

At the same time, the circular ring, not to be outdone, instantly unleashed a beam of white light.

The scorpion's barbed tail and the white light beam collided instantly; the former was directly sent flying, tumbling several times with a rumble before crashing to the ground.

Now, it was only at the peak of the second-tier; its shell, though seemingly hard, lacked toughness and was not as thick-skinned as Pig King, so it was directly beaten to the brink of death.

Before the scorpion could recover, the other fierce beasts swarmed it, quickly tearing its flesh apart and devouring it.

As the scorpion initiated this struggle, the other fierce beasts all displayed their methods, some charging head-on with their powerful physical bodies, others maneuvering through the chaos using their abilities.

They slowly approached the blue-light ox-head, then simultaneously ceased their individual battles and attacked it together.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Successive thuds were heard as seven or eight fierce beasts involved were struck by the white light pillars; none lasted a second hit, being either instantly killed or severely wounded.

At this moment, Xia Fan was not in a hurry at all.

“Pig King’s meat is still the most delicious.”

Xia Fan’s mouth was covered in blood from eating, but he didn’t care about that. Instead, he nodded to himself, “The flesh of other fierce beasts all have some abnormal taste, more or less.”

“Only your flesh tastes good to me.”

Although he did not participate in the affairs among these fierce beasts, he had been silently observing from a distance while adapting to the many new abilities he had just acquired.

Pig King's body was enormous, its flesh alone occupying a vast area, and it contained immense energy.

Therefore, after Xia Fan absorbed Pig King's purified flesh, his strength was getting closer and closer to the peak of physical prowess.

If other fierce beasts were to witness this terrifying speed, they would be utterly astonished.

But Magic Cat just smiled playfully by the side, even wishing his speed could be faster… “Hurry up, Kunlun Mountain is just ahead.”

At the same time, three fighter jets roared in, flying into the mountains. Although the fog blocked the signal, they could clearly see the blue light, so they couldn't lose their direction.

The personnel in the fighter jets showed excitement whenever they thought about what the blue light signified.

Master Zhang was constantly urging them on, eager to seize this extraordinary treasure as soon as possible, “Indeed, it’s a divine weapon, it’s right there!”

“When we arrive, try to fly at a lower altitude so it’s easier for this humble Taoist to approach.”

“Yes!”

The fighter jets were incredibly fast, reaching the mountains in the blink of an eye.

As their destination was nearing, Master Zhang grew bolder.

His eyes were solely on the treasure represented by the blue light, so even when he saw a considerable number of fierce beasts there, he never feared, jumping directly from the fighter jet.

“Cloud Ladder Art!”

Within a few breaths, Master Zhang used his abilities to quickly approach the blue light, bit by bit.

He didn't even look at the nearby fierce beasts, directly reaching out to grab the pale white circle, his eyes filled with a crazed expression, “Hahaha, the treasure is mine!”

“How can you trash be worthy of such a priceless treasure!”

“Seeking death!”

Suddenly, the other fierce beasts all changed their expressions, and one fierce beast, in particular, let out a heavy snort, “Heh heh, you’re quite bold indeed.”

As the words fell, a black mist swept over, moving even faster than Master Zhang.

A sharp claw extended from the black mist, directly grabbing towards the pale white circle; its powerful aura forced the other fierce beasts to tremble.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, violent collisions erupted as the pale white circle actively attacked.

It seemed to be born for protection; no matter who the comer was, anyone wishing to seize the treasure within had to get past it.

The endless black mist was instantly blasted away, and a colossal figure immediately revealed itself.

In sight, a fierce beast, resembling a tiger but not quite, with two wings on its back, descended powerfully, immediately radiating an infinitely terrifying pressure.

Such a formidable aura instantly made the surrounding fierce beasts retreat.

What surprised these fierce beasts even more was that this fierce beast was not afraid of the pale white circle's attack.

This was also, so far, the only fierce beast that had not been repelled by the white light emitted from the pale white circle. The fierce beasts didn't know the exact reason, but they all speculated that it might be related to the weakening of that self-protective attack.

Thinking of this, the fierce beasts became even more excited, but none dared to step forward and contend for it.

Crack!

Whoosh!

When the tiger-like fierce beast approached again, the stone ox statue suddenly cracked, and one crack after another appeared on its surface.

Immediately following, a beam of blue light was swiftly shot out.

Seeing this, the beast unhesitatingly unleashed another cloud of black mist; black and blue instantly collided, and the powerful aftershocks rapidly spread in all directions.

“This is…”

“The main body of the fierce beast clone I killed before…?”

At the same time, Li Sisi and Warrior Monk Erlong had also arrived.

They saw this fierce beast trying to seize the treasure at first glance, causing Li Sisi to exclaim.

Warrior Monk Erlong and Master Zhang exchanged surprised glances upon hearing her.

Both realized that the black mist was an extremely evil substance, very harmful to anyone who came into contact with it, whereas the other fierce beasts only displayed brutality and ferocity.

“Monster!”

After regaining her senses, Li Sisi let out a delicate shout, then unhesitatingly drew her treasured sword, and a sword qi instantly shot out, heading straight for the tiger-like fierce beast.

Sensing the danger, the tiger-like fierce beast immediately let out an angry roar, but also expressed great surprise, “As expected of a divine weapon, it can actually hurt me!”

It was currently struggling against the blue light and temporarily unable to spare any effort, so it could only respond with a roar.

Seeing this, Master Zhang, while reminding others to quickly retreat, exclaimed, “It’s so evil, could it be the legendary Qiongqi?!”

Rumble—

As the roar erupted, the fighter jet's casing instantly shattered, then it went out of control, causing everyone on board to evacuate.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, a powerful tiger roar resounded, indicating Xia Fan had made his move.

He saw the condition of the blue ox and understood that the Diamond Cutter's defense had dissipated.

This was the opportunity to claim the treasure!
