Everyone evacuated urgently, but the steel-maned bear wanted to pursue them.

At this time, Qin Tiexin rushed back, took a deep breath, and tightened the muscles of the whole body. Stepping forward, charging forward, starting from the Hunyuan pile, Dantian internal cyclone rotated wildly, with both feet on the ground as if they were taking root, and the waist and horse merged into one.

The bear's paw came towards me.

Qin Tiexin's fists faced the bear's paw, hard contact!

Bang!

The sound was as muffled as a drum. Qin Tiexin's feet sank three inches into the gravel. His body swayed but he did not retreat. The giant bear staggered. Qin Tiexin turned his fists into fists and grabbed the two bear's paws. The giant bear was held up and could not hold it down for a moment.

A trace of confusion flashed across the giant bear's red eyes.

At this moment, Li Yun moved.

She walked around to the flank, Movement Method as light as a swallow. She raised her right hand, and the ice soul needle turned into a blue light and shot directly into the bear's eyes. The tip of the needle was freezing cold, and the air where it passed was frost.

The giant bear tilted its head, and the needle flew past the corners of its eyes, making ice marks on its cheekbones. The skin and flesh were not broken, but the cold air invaded, causing its movements to stall for a moment.

Qin Tiexin Seize this moment.

The right arm holding the bear's paw suddenly exerts force and pushes upward. At the same time, the left fist punches out, the second form of Hunyuan Zhuang - punching fist.

Punch into the bear's belly.

The mane buffered most of the force, but the force of the punch penetrated, causing the giant bear to grunt and take half a step back.

It was completely furious.

Open your mouth, smelly breath spurts out, mixed with dark red light spots - this is the prototype of the fire attribute magic. Wherever the breath passes, the gravel on the ground melts, and the vegetation scorches.

Qin Tiexin ducked sideways, exhaling and brushing against his shoulders, his sleeves burned through. He exerted force with one step, then got closer, and his fists fell like rain.

Each punch was heavy and hit the thick part of the bear's body. The mane was broken and the skin was dented, but the defense was not broken. The giant bear swung its paws and claws, and he either blocked or dodged, and his body shuttled between the bear's paws, taking dangerous risks.

On the outside, Yang Scarface led the remaining guards to harass. Arrows, flying knives, and ropes were all difficult to damage. One of the guards threw a fishing net to cover the bear's head, but it was torn to pieces by the bear's paws.

Li Yun wandered faster.

Sometimes the Ice Soul Needle shoots directly at the vital point, and sometimes it splits into phantom shadows to disturb the enemy. She is looking for flaws - the bear's eyes are abnormally red, there are old scars on the side of the neck, and the movements of the left forefoot are slightly sluggish.

"Left palm!" she shouted.

Qin Tiexin understands.

He deliberately used a weak point and was swept away by the bear's paw. The force of the sweep was so strong that he flew out and hit a boulder on the river beach. The stone cracked and he fell to the ground, coughing out blood, and his face turned pale.

"Master Qin!" a guard exclaimed.

When the giant bear saw this, he stood up and wanted to kill him.

This is the moment Li Yun has been waiting for.

When the bear stood up, the old scars on the chest and abdomen were exposed - they were old claw marks, the fur was not fully grown, and the color was light. She activated the ice soul needle with all her strength, and the needle transformed into three blue shadows, two false attacks on the eyes, and one real shot on the old scar.

The giant bear waved its palms to protect its eyes.

The real needle has reached the chest and abdomen.

Pfft.

The Ice Soul Needle pierced the old scar and penetrated three inches into the flesh. The cold air exploded and the old wound was instantly covered with white frost, spreading to all sides.

The giant bear was in severe pain, roaring wildly, and waving its claws wildly.

Qin Tiexin has stood up.

He wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and kept his eyes calm. He exerted force with one foot, the gravel exploded, and people were shot out like an arrow from a string. The third form of the Hunyuan Stake - Guan Yue.

The right fist is collected at the side of the waist, and the whole body is in a straight line.

Time seems to slow down.

When the bear's paw came, he ducked out of the way. His mane brushed against his head, and his broken hair flew away. He bullied the bear into its arms and punched out.

The edge of the fist touched the fur next to the old scar.

Then, the strength penetrates.

It's not brute force, it's the internal strength developed by the Hunyuan Zhuang, like a cone or a nail, following the gap opened by the Ice Soul Needle, drilling into the skin and flesh, and penetrating into the organs.

A muffled sound came from the bear's body.

The giant bear stopped suddenly.

The rage in its red eyes solidified and gradually dispersed. It lowered its head, looked at the fist that had penetrated its chest and abdomen, and then looked at Qin Tiexin. There was a weird sound in its throat, and saliva mixed with blood foam dripped down.

Then, the mountain collapsed.

He fell to the ground with a crash, causing gravel to jump up from the river beach.

Dust and smoke filled the air.

Qin Tiexin retracted his fist, took three steps back, and stood firm. He was breathing heavily, bloodshot eyes came out of the corner of his mouth, he covered his chest with his left hand, and his face was as pale as paper.

Li Yun landed beside him, and the ice soul needle flew back into her palm. Her breath was messed up, her temple hair was scattered, and sweat appeared on her forehead.

The river beach was completely silent.

The guards stood frozen with their swords in hand, looking at the giant beast that fell to the ground, and then at the pair of boys and girls, but no one said a word.

After a long time, Yang Scarface stepped forward, squatted down and sniffed the bear.

"Dead." He stood up and looked at Qin Tiexin, "Master Qin... how are your injuries?"

"It's okay." Qin Tiexin said in a hoarse voice, "It will take a few days to adjust your breathing and you will be fine."

When he spoke, his body swayed slightly, and Li Yun reached out to hold his arm.

"Help me go over there." He said to Li Yun, his voice only heard by the two of them.

Li Yun nodded and helped him sit down next to a big rock not far away.

Qin Tiexin crossed his legs, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath. His breath was disordered, his spiritual power fluctuated weakly, and he was in a state of exhaustion. Only he knew that he had used 70% of his strength in that punch, and he had lost 90% of his strength when he was slapped away by the bear's paw. The vomiting of blood was to force out the congestion in the body - the injury was not serious, but he had to do enough.

For people in the dark to see.

Yang Scarface directed the guards to handle the bear carcass.

"Peel the skin, remove the guts, and take out the demon elixir if you have it." He ordered, "The rest... are buried."

The guards took action and struck the bear with knives and axes, making a dull sound.

Only then did the head of the Feng family dare to step out from behind the car, his face still pale. "Why, how could this bear appear here..."

"Going crazy." Yang Scarface glanced at the red eyes of the bear corpse, "If you are so jealous, I'm afraid someone has tampered with you."

"Doing tricks?"

"Some medicine, or magic." Yang Scarface didn't say much, turned and walked away.

Not far away, Qin Tiexin was adjusting his breath, and the guards whispered in his ears.

"... It's so fierce, it's hard to catch a bear's paw..."

"But the injury is serious, look at the one who vomited blood..."

"Is the body-refining cultivator so desperate? The knife on his back has never been pulled out from the beginning to the end."

"Maybe it's for decoration or for practicing martial arts. Look, the knife is not sharpened..."

The sound fades away.

Qin Tiexin's aura gradually stabilized. He looked inside Dantian, and saw that the cyclone was still there, and the four-layer barrier of Qi refining was still there. He had just fought, but he did not use spiritual power, relying solely on his physical body and boxing skills. The mountain-shaking step was not unfolded, and the sword was not unsheathed.

Enough.

He opened his eyes.

Li Yun stood by and saw him open his eyes and handed over the water bag.

Qin Tiexin took it and while drinking water, asked in a low voice, "Has the needle been taken back?"

"Yeah." Li Yun said, "Only 50% of the force was used."

"Yeah. Coming soon."

The two stopped talking.

The sky turned white.

On the river beach, most of the bear carcass had been disposed of. The skin was peeled off, and it was as thick as felt; the gallbladder was taken out, and it was green and oozing; the demon pill was found in the chest and abdomen, the size of a pigeon egg, khaki, and Spiritual Qi.

Yang Scarface handed the demon pill to Qin Tiexin.

Qin Tiexin took it, looked at it, and handed it back. "You guys can share it, I will do it when the time comes."

"This..."

"According to the rules, the guards should be rewarded for their efforts." Qin Tiexin said.

Yang Scarface was silent for a moment and nodded. "Thank you, Immortal Master Qin."

He put away the demon pill, cut off a few pieces of the best bear meat, roasted it over a fire, and distributed it to everyone.

The aroma of meat permeates the air.

Qin Tiexin was full after eating two large pieces of bear meat and a bear paw. It was Demon Beast meat in the Qi refining period. While eating, he glanced at the camp - the owner of the Feng family was sitting next to the car, not knowing how to taste the food; Yang was gnawing on the meat with a scarred face, his eyes alert; the guards were eating and talking in low voices about the battle just now, and their words were filled with fear and happiness.

No one noticed how much deliberate restraint went into this "tragic victory".

When the sun rose, the team was back on the road.

Before leaving the river beach, Qin Tiexin looked back at the place where the bear carcass was buried. The mound of soil was raised, and blood stains had seeped into the gravel.

He turned around and followed the convoy.

Behind the scenes, Edgeless was silent in the morning light, seeming to express his dissatisfaction for not participating in the battle.
