One-Hit Kill That Stunned Everyone

Seeing Xiao Bai's expression nearly freeze, Bei Miao chuckled. She was rather fun—far more fun than those stiff old fossils who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

"But..."

Bei Miao wanted to tease her a little more, so he suddenly changed his tune. "It's not that I can't agree to your request."

"Really?"

Xiao Bai sprang up in excitement. "That's great!"

"But I have one condition."

Bei Miao slowly held out his hand. "If you lose, you and your clan must stay in our Northern Underworld Empire and become Soul Beasts of our continent!"

"This..."

Xiao Bai hesitated when she heard his condition. She was Poseidon's mount and had already sworn loyalty to him. If she broke her oath now, Poseidon would punish her.

Bei Miao seemed to see what troubled her. "Don't worry. Poseidon will agree. If he doesn't, I'll beat him until he does!"

Xiao Bai thought for a while but could not come up with any other way to save Sea God Island. At last, she gritted her teeth and nodded. "All right, I agree!"

[Sea God Island · Bo Saixi: Xiao Bai, you fool! Don't agree to it. You're no match for him!]

[Sea God Island · Xiao Bai: No, I'll win. You'll see!]

"Heh. Interesting."

Bei Miao rolled his neck and gave a cold laugh. "Is that old fossil Poseidon really worth your loyalty?"

"It isn't about whether he's worth it."

Xiao Bai shook her head. "I just want to keep my promise and protect our Demon Soul Great White Shark clan. That's all."

"I see. You're afraid Poseidon will send down divine punishment, so you won't even consider anything else."

Bei Miao beckoned with one finger. "Come on. Let me test your strength."

"Don't underestimate me!"

Xiao Bai struck first, sweeping out her leg and sending a blade of water toward Bei Miao.

The razor-sharp water blade cleaved through the waves. A single strike could have cut even a boulder in two.

Facing the enormous water blade, Bei Miao neither dodged nor flinched. He thrust out his chest and took the blow head-on.

The water blade slammed into Bei Miao, throwing up a towering wave. Spray swallowed his figure.

"Ha! You're far too cocky!"

Xiao Bai folded her arms and laughed. "Even an ordinary Titled Douluo wouldn't dare take that hit. You lost!"

"Oh? Did I?"

The wave fell away, revealing Bei Miao completely unharmed. The water blade had not left so much as a mark on him, only a few droplets on his armor.

"Water only makes my armor stronger!"

With that, Bei Miao turned the knob on the right side of his belt and reached out. A black card appeared from thin air between his fingers, and he flung it forward.

The card grew as it flew, then hovered in midair. Bei Miao immediately thrust his left hand into it.

[Water Armor Shield!]

A black shield appeared on his forearm. Bei Miao beckoned again. "Come at me."

"Damn you!"

Too angry to care anymore, Xiao Bai dove straight into the sea and revealed her true form as a Demon Soul Great White Shark.

"I'll bite you to pieces!"

Xiao Bai opened her enormous jaws and lunged at Bei Miao. Her sharp fangs flashed coldly beneath the blazing sun, more than capable of biting through iron and crushing nails.

"Too bad they won't work on me!"

Bei Miao caught the attack with his shield and seized Xiao Bai's jaws with his other hand.

"I'll bite down!"

Xiao Bai snapped her jaws shut, trying to crush Bei Miao, but he held them apart with ease.

"That's impossible!"

As Xiao Bai stared in terror, Bei Miao smiled faintly. "Now that your attack is over, I suppose it's my turn?"

"Watch out. I'm getting serious!"

With those words, Bei Miao vanished. The next instant, he appeared on Xiao Bai's back.

"Where is he?"

While Xiao Bai frantically searched for him, Bei Miao had already thrown a punch.

"Black Rhino Fist!"

Boom!

A tremendous force struck Xiao Bai from below. The blow knocked her flat in an instant. Her eyes turned into spirals, and she rolled over, belly-up.

With a single blow, Bei Miao had knocked a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast unconscious without even injuring her.

His terrifying control frightened everyone on the Douluo Continent and made them realize that the Northern Underworld Empire was a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons abounded.

[Sea God Island · Bo Saixi: Sigh... Xiao Bai, why didn't you listen to my warning? He was never someone you could defeat...]

[Douluo Continent · Yu Xiaogang: Th-this is impossible! Even a Titled Douluo couldn't knock a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast unconscious with one blow! Who on earth are you?]

[Northern Underworld Continent · General Long Wei: Well? Does your face hurt? If not, how about I come over and slap it myself?]

[Douluo Continent · Tang San: Impossible! You didn't even summon your Martial Soul, so how can you have that kind of power!

A one-hit kill... Was it a Hidden Weapon? No! That's absolutely impossible!]

[Northern Underworld Continent · Bei Miao: Kid, remember what I said earlier? Say one more word of nonsense, and I'll sew your mouth shut!

Besides, what makes you think I'd use the worthless scrap metal you're talking about?]

[Douluo Continent · Tang San: How dare you insult the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons! You've found yourself a path to death!

Do you dare face me? I'll cut you down where you stand!]

[Northern Underworld Continent · Bei Miao: Then we'll see.]

Bei Miao closed the Sky Screen and looked at the Demon Soul Great White Sharks around him. "You're not happy about this, are you? How about I let you all come at me together?"

"If you win, my wager with your leader is off. If you lose, you'll come with me without a fuss!"

The Demon Soul Great White Sharks' second-in-command looked at the unconscious Xiao Bai, then at the others around him, and nodded.

"Then let's begin."

Bei Miao loosened his wrists, looking utterly relaxed. Dealing with them would be as easy as turning over his hand.

The next moment, the Demon Soul Great White Sharks dove beneath the surface, intending to ambush him from below and land a killing blow.

Bei Miao turned the knob on his right side again. A card flew out and stopped before him.

[Meteor Spear!]

He gripped a long black spear. Unlike the one in the show, whose head was as broad as a polearm blade, this spear had been specially modified by Bei Mingyuan.

Bei Mingyuan had modified the weapons of every armor, not just the Black Rhino's.

It was not that Bei Mingyuan had not wanted to recreate them faithfully. The weapons in the original show were simply too bizarre: a blade without a grip, a sword strapped to the hand, a spear with an enormous head, a blade mounted on a wrist device, and a giant axe whose grip could barely be held.

To make the weapons easier to wield, Bei Mingyuan had no choice but to modify them.

For the Meteor Spear, he had reduced the size of the spearhead and added a fitting shaped like a small spinning top to the butt. Now it felt much better to wield.

"Surrender!"

Bei Miao flourished the spear with effortless style, then dove into the sea with it.

"You think you can beat me in the water? You're not even close!"
