Slaying a Ten-thousand-year Soul Beast Solo! Du Busi Was Stunned!

And at that moment...

After hearing Liu Yuan's response, Du Busi was slightly taken aback. Then, an exceedingly bright and satisfied smile bloomed across his rugged old face.

"Good lad, you've got guts! Now that's my disciple! That's the kind of dominance the Body Sect should have!" Du Busi laughed as he gave Liu Yuan a hard slap on the back of the head.

"Charge in boldly! Forget one Ten-thousand-year Ice Ape—even if the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North came in person, as long as I'm here to cover you, nothing can go wrong!"

"Whoosh—!"

Before Du Busi had even finished speaking, Liu Yuan had already turned into a streak of blue light and dived down the snowy slope.

A distance of three li was merely a few breaths for Liu Yuan, who possessed Qilin Step.

Before the Ten-thousand-year Ice Ape—five meters tall and covered from head to toe in white fur as hard as cold steel—could react, a sharp tearing sound ripped through the air.

"Chi—!!!"

Two scarlet Laser beams, each as thick as a bowl, erupted from Liu Yuan's Double Pupil without warning.

The Ice Ape had been lowering its head to gnaw on a frozen Snow Deer. The sudden searing heat instantly pierced through its defenses and slammed viciously into its back.

"Roar—!!!"

Amid the stench of scorched flesh and the sound of bursting skin and meat, the Ten-thousand-year Ice Ape let out a miserable howl.

Its crimson beast eyes instantly locked onto Liu Yuan in the air. Rage robbed it of reason as it pounded its chest, the thunderous booms shaking the surrounding snowpack into collapse.

The beast dropped onto all fours and charged at Liu Yuan like a speeding mountain, carrying an overwhelming destructive pressure.

"Good!"

Liu Yuan's gaze turned icy. The Third Spirit Ring beneath his feet, black as ink, shone brilliantly.

"Qilin Precious Technique, activate!"

In an instant, a layer of icy-blue sacred radiance covered Liu Yuan's body—an anomaly born from supreme strength.

Facing this enormous creature, capable of shattering a Soul King's bones with a single slap, Liu Yuan did not use Qilin Step to evade. Instead, he met its charge head-on!

Du Busi, watching from afar, felt his eyelids twitch wildly. He could not help muttering, "This kid... has he gone mad?"

"Boom!"

A dull collision of flesh and bone exploded across the ice field.

Liu Yuan's fist collided heavily with the Ice Ape's millstone-sized palm.

In that instant, the ice beneath Liu Yuan's feet shattered layer by layer, while the Ten-thousand-year Ice Ape's massive body actually stalled slightly.

Liu Yuan pressed his advantage. Lasers flashed repeatedly from his Double Pupil, sweeping wildly across the Ice Ape's face at close range. At the same time, he clenched his left hand and threw a savage uppercut!

Crack!

With a bone-breaking sound that made one's teeth ache, the Ten-thousand-year Ice Ape's broad shoulder was punched downward by several inches!

But a Ten-thousand-year Soul Beast was still a Ten-thousand-year Soul Beast. Especially in this frigid home ground, its ferocity was completely ignited.

Facing the tiny human who had wounded it, the Ice Ape let out a violent roar and brought its Double Arms together like two enormous iron gates, smashing down in an attack meant to take them both out.

Liu Yuan had no time to dodge—or rather, he had never intended to dodge at all!

"Bang!"

Blood splattered!

The Ten-thousand-year Ice Ape's terrifying strength directly blasted Liu Yuan's left side, shoulder included, into a mist of blood. His pulsing organs were even faintly visible.

"Liu Yuan?!" Du Busi's expression changed drastically in the distance. Green light flowed around his body as he nearly intervened.

But the foot Du Busi had stepped forward with stopped abruptly in mid-motion.

From Liu Yuan's mangled remains, the Second Spirit Ring erupted with an unprecedented emerald glow.

With Undying Body and Level 35 Soul Power circulating madly, the scattered flesh and blood actually flowed backward in an eerie reversal. Bones, meridians, and skin healed completely within mere breaths.

"Again!"

Liu Yuan's face was pale, but his grin was exceedingly savage. Within his Double Pupil, the two pupils overlapped and spun to the limit—the perfect fusion of Insight into Falsehood and Laser Eye.

What followed left even Du Busi, who prided himself on having seen it all, utterly dumbfounded.

In his estimation, Liu Yuan should have used long-range Lasers to keep his distance, coupled with Qilin Step's instantaneous movement to wage an attrition battle. That was the most cost-effective approach.

But reality was that Liu Yuan, relying on the fact that he "couldn't die," had chosen the most primitive and brutal method of fighting life for life!

You clawed me once, and I would shoot you in both eyes;

You smashed my chest, and I would break your ribs.

"This kid... is even more reckless than I was back then!" Du Busi said blankly, rubbing his chin.

To his astonishment, this fighting style really did suppress the Ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.

Though the Ice Ape possessed a stronger body and deeper Soul Power, it was still flesh and blood. An injury was an injury, and pain was pain.

But Liu Yuan was like a perpetual-motion machine. So long as his Spirit Power did not run dry, he would remain at peak condition.

As one side weakened while the other recovered, the once-mighty Ten-thousand-year Ice Ape was now covered in charred, bloody holes, and its movements had slowed.

"Could he really kill it solo despite the gap in levels?" Du Busi murmured, his heart churning like a raging sea.

This was a Ten-thousand-year Soul Beast from the Extreme North!

Though it lacked the flexible combat techniques of a human Soul Emperor, its raw brute strength and physical defense definitely surpassed those of an ordinary Level 50 Soul King.

If Liu Yuan could kill it alone, that meant this twelve-year-old Level 35 Soul Elder already possessed the raw strength to solo a human Soul King!

As Du Busi pondered this, the battle reached its final breaking point.

The Ice Ape seemed to realize that it had fallen into a deathtrap. It let out a despairing roar, every strand of white fur standing on end as it gathered all its Soul Power into its right fist and smashed it viciously toward Liu Yuan's lower abdomen.

Liu Yuan neither dodged nor retreated. A cold glint flashed in his Double Pupil as his right hand formed a claw, the power of the Qilin Precious Technique gathering at his fingertips.

"Puchi!"

"Crack!"

The two sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

The Ice Ape's basin-sized fist, carrying the Ice Explosion Soul Skill, punched straight through Liu Yuan's lower abdomen and emerged from his lower back.

At the same time, one of Liu Yuan's hands had already locked tightly around the Ice Ape's neck, as all the strength in his body poured madly through his Double Arms!

Liu Yuan suddenly exerted force with both arms and twisted his waist. Empowered by Qilin Step's instantaneous explosive force, his entire body spun madly like a blue whirlwind.

A crisp snapping sound spread across the ice field.

That enormous ape head was forcibly twisted a full three hundred and sixty degrees by Liu Yuan's brute strength. The broken neck bones pierced through flesh, and warm beast blood sprayed across Liu Yuan's face.

"Rumble..."

The Ten-thousand-year Ice Ape's enormous body crashed to the ground like a toppled mountain, its life force rapidly fading.

Liu Yuan calmly stretched out both hands and grabbed the massive beast fist piercing through his abdomen.

As the Second Soul Skill circulated, that horrifying bloody hole rapidly contracted, healed, and reformed under Du Busi's horrified yet fervent gaze. In the end, all that remained was shredded clothing and sticky bloodstains on the ground.

After witnessing this scene, Du Busi was completely stunned beyond words.
