"You bastard! I'll destroy you!"
Inside the spatial passage.
As the furious roar rang out, multicolored flames appeared on the Black Monster Bird's claws. Their terrifying heat made Xiao Tian Ce feel that these were the very flames Gu Xun'er had sent into his spiritual array earlier.
Facing the ferocious Black Monster Bird, Xiao Tian Ce remained utterly calm. If his spiritual arrays were a means of attacking entire groups, capable of securing victory in a single strike without equal on the Dou Qi Continent, then his current state was his strongest form for one-on-one combat.
Clang!
In an instant, the two collided, the Black Monster Bird's sharp claws slamming into Xiao Tian Ce's palm.
Unfortunately for him, just as before, Xiao Tian Ce's palm seemed covered in a thick layer of armor, as hard as metal and utterly indestructible.
"How is that possible? How can your physical strength be so powerful?"
After that brief clash, the Black Monster Bird was overcome with alarm. His claws could easily tear through even some powerful Supreme Dharma Bodies. In a head-on clash, even a Lower Earthly Sovereign could be injured if caught off guard.
Yet Xiao Tian Ce had not manifested a Supreme Dharma Body at all. Instead, he had met him head-on with physical strength alone. This defied all reason.
Hearing the alarm in the Black Monster Bird's voice, Xiao Tian Ce chuckled. Then he curled his palm into a claw, seized the bird's talon, and drew on the strength of his waist and abdomen to throw him over his shoulder.
The Black Monster Bird's heart jolted. He felt that if he did not fight back now, he might perish here today.
"Damn you! How dare you humiliate me like this?" the bird roared, spitting a mouthful of intensely hot flame.
