Crushing Dry Wood

Zhang You made his move!

Although it looked like a mere flick of the wrist from afar, Pang Biao, the target, felt it most intensely!

The potent killing intent and the unstoppable momentum!

But he didn't have time to dodge!

"Roar!"

Without thinking, he directly underwent beast transformation, his body instantly growing larger!

"Squelch!"

A strike that should have landed on his head was redirected to his abdomen.

His abdomen was directly slashed open with a massive gash, his intestines spilling out!

It was a gruesome sight!

"Hmm? Lucky you!"

Zhang You stared at Shopkeeper Li behind Pang Biao!

If Shopkeeper Li hadn't pulled him aside at the critical moment, this strike would have certainly cut him in half!

"Th-thanks..."

Pang Biao ignored the blood gushing from his mouth, directly grabbing his intestines from the ground and stuffing them back into his belly haphazardly.

Then, his abdomen writhed for a moment, and the wound closed directly.

Finally, he let out a sigh of relief, looking back towards Zhang You with lingering fear!

"If you were just a little taller, your second sibling might have been lopped off!"

Zhang You looked at Pang Biao's size and shook his head as he spoke!

Pang Biao's mouth twitched!

"You don't have any magical energy fluctuations; you're definitely not a cultivator! What exactly are you?"

Shopkeeper Li frowned, looking at Zhang You thoughtfully.

He only now realized he knew absolutely nothing about Zhang You!

This was no longer an ant in his eyes!

Pang Biao also belatedly fell into thought!

"Just some unrefined, unorthodox path! Nothing compared to you cultivators!"

Zhang You said with a smile.

"Never mind me, I'd rather ask, what exactly are you two?"

Zhang You swept his gaze over the two of them again!

Although Pang Biao was in his black bear form, his entire body was covered in grotesque flesh tumors.

Shopkeeper Li, while not fully transformed, had his two arms transform into wings, with two claws at the very tips of the wings!

From Yuan Qiupeng's earlier words, he only knew this was a cultivation path of mutated fetal forms.

Judging by the results, they had already become abominations!

After all, the malevolent energy emanating from them was impossible to conceal!

"Whatever they are, I'll kill them first!"

Zhang You activated Slippery Feet and vanished from his original spot!

"Careful!"

Shopkeeper Li, possessing higher innate strength, sensed Zhang You's movement and kicked Pang Biao away!

"Slam!"

Zhang You's palm struck the ground where Pang Biao had been!

The ground cracked and split, instantly revealing a palm print.

Keep in mind that the ground was made of extremely hard ink stone when the formation was inscribed, and even ordinary Ninth Level of Qi Refining Realm cultivators couldn't leave a scratch.

He hadn't expected it to withstand Zhang You's palm strike!

Zhang You definitely had strength beyond the Foundation Establishment Realm!

"Extreme Path: Divine Hundred Slashes!"

Zhang You turned and pursued Shopkeeper Li, unleashing hundreds of slashes with both hands in rapid succession!

"Dawn True Art: Feather Rain!"

Shopkeeper Li's eyes narrowed. He spread his wings, and hundreds of feathers shot out, blocking Zhang You's assault!

He could already see a translucent substance, akin to magical energy, coalescing on Zhang You's hands.

The surrounding air was distorting under its influence!

As for "similar to magic power," of course, he still didn't feel any magical fluctuations!

"Extreme Path?"

Meanwhile, Boss Ren, located below his heart, had been paying attention to this area!

He felt a strange aura from Zhang You!

Seeing the opponent make a move at this moment, he narrowed his eyes and began searching his memory!

He seemed to have seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't recall it for a moment!

"Bear Dominates the World: Black Bear Heart Pluck!"

The massive Pang Biao had already charged forward, his claws lengthening as he moved like an unstoppable force, digging towards Zhang You's back!

"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Shatter Void Fist!"

Zhang You's internal Qi erupted, and he turned around, throwing a punch with immense force. It even made a sound like it was tearing through the air.

"Bang!"

Pang Biao's giant arm vanished on the spot!

"Ah!"

Pang Biao roared to the sky!

"Gulp!"

His muscles writhed, and his arm grew back!

"Dawn True Art: Wing Sever!"

Shopkeeper Li shifted from defense to offense, instantly appearing above Zhang Lin and slashing down with crossed wings.

Two powerful streams of magical energy shot downwards.

"Extreme Path: Extreme Slash!"

Zhang Lin swept out his arm, and a thick, flowing energy collided with Shopkeeper Li's attack.

Shopkeeper Li was sent flying back by the impact.

"Bear Dominates the World: Black Bear Roar!"

Pang Biao took a deep breath and, reaching his limit, unleashed it all in one go!

A sonic wave with immense destructive power surged towards Zhang Lin.

"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Thunderclap!"

Zhang Lin half-clenched his hand and placed it by his mouth, emitting a similar sonic attack.

As a result, Zhang Lin's technique proved superior, directly breaking through Pang Biao's attack and hitting him squarely in the chest.

Pang Biao spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of flesh, his chest completely pierced!

"Dawn True Art: Exploding Pear Blossom!"

Shopkeeper Li seized the opportunity to unleash another attack, with thousands of feathers enveloping Zhang Lin.

"Explode!"

As they neared, they detonated in mid-air!

"Extreme Path: Extreme Qi Armor!"

A protective Qi Armor spread out from around Zhang Lin.

"Bang bang bang!"

A continuous barrage of explosions rang out.

Pang Biao's body shrunk slightly as he healed his wounds again, looking at Zhang Lin with a chilling fear in his heart!

Zhang Lin was too strong!

If he hadn't devoured many living beings before, he would have been dead by now!

Although he could heal his injuries, it was still limited!

Qin Fengtian's group was protected by the formation and wasn't affected, but they now had to re-evaluate Zhang Lin's strength!

"He's definitely surpassed the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, possibly even the third!"

Tang Julou frowned.

"It seems like the formation isn't suppressing him!"

Qin Fengtian was also greatly surprised!

None of them had expected Zhang Lin to be so troublesome!

But Zhang Lin was a crucial piece, indispensable!

Therefore, they couldn't give up!

After the explosions stopped, the surrounding dust had dispersed.

"Smoke without damage! I wonder if you've heard of it!"

Zhang Lin had already retracted his Qi Armor and teased Shopkeeper Li and the others.

"Dawn True Art: Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg!"

Shopkeeper Li no longer held back. His power erupted, amplified by the formation's blessings, instantly pushing him to the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, closing in on the fourth.

He leaped into the air, his eyes flashing red. His magic power surged into his feet, and then he fiercely grabbed downwards.

A massive chicken claw appeared, descending from above towards Zhang Lin!

"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Shatter Void Fist!"

Zhang Lin's internal Qi surged into his fist, and he punched upwards.

A semi-transparent fist shot towards the sky!

"Bang!"

Light filled the surroundings.

"I'll deal with you first!"

Slippery Feet activated, and Zhang Lin flashed before Pang Biao.

"Bear Dominates the World: Bear Dart!"

Pang Biao's pupils contracted, his fur standing on end, transforming into sharp, rigid spikes. He leaped into the air, spinning at high speed!

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

The hairs on his body shot out!

"Extreme Path: Extreme Qi Armor!"

"Extreme Path: Sky Sever!"

Zhang Lin first unleashed his Qi Armor, then brought his hands together, condensing Qi into a blade.

A thirty-meter, semi-transparent greatsword materialized in mid-air!

"Sever!"

With an unstoppable force, as if intending to cleave the heavens, it slashed down fiercely!
