"Good heavens! This monster is formidable!"
The black-furred monkey scratched at his ears and cheeks, his face alight with excitement. Without waiting for Yuan Muxi to speak, he somersaulted forward and reached out. His palm abruptly swelled in size, about to come down over the Scale-Armored Man's head!

Brute force!
The purest brute force erupted forth.
The scales on the palm's surface shattered in the collision between brute force and Divine Power, blood spraying
