Xiong Yun's Fury, the Might of a Single Palm!

Rumble!!!

Across the battlefield, aside from the Demonic Shadow Butterfly Emperor, who had escaped using Demonic Shadow Transformation, everyone else's attacks against the roc were instantly annihilated by the giant black hand. Their users were slapped into the ground, spewing blood and barely clinging to life, all meeting the exact same fate.

The black hand transformed into a black cage, trapping the seven Soul Beasts.

The spectacular sight shocked everyone once again!

So strong!

Really, so strong!

How could anyone be this powerful?!

Good heavens!!

Was he really a six-year-old boy?

He was terrifying beyond belief!

Bibi Dong watched the three Soul Beasts she had struggled against for so long without defeating get subdued with ease, and she felt just how terrifying Qian Nuo's black hand was.

"One got away, though."

Bibi Dong looked at the Demonic Shadow Butterfly Emperor as she turned and fled back toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

As an emperor of the Demonic Shadow Butterfly clan, a rank even higher than a king, she possessed exceptional intelligence. How could she not know how terrifying that person was? He was simply beyond her ability to fight.

She had been bluffing the whole time, then looked for a chance to run.

Now she thought her plan had succeeded.

"Run? What makes you think you can run away from me?"

Qian Nuo looked at the Demonic Shadow Butterfly Emperor fleeing into the Star Dou Great Forest and spoke coldly.

The next moment, the black hand transformed into the Black Rope, binding the Demonic Shadow Butterfly Emperor at tremendous speed and pulling her out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"No! Don't! I don't want to fall into the hands of this human devil!"

"I don't want to!!"

"I don't want to! Aah!!"

The Demonic Shadow Butterfly Emperor screamed in terror, her earlier composure completely gone.

She was like a stray dog that had lost its home.

Now, all she wanted was to get away from this place as quickly as possible.

To escape those devilish clutches.

Unfortunately, no matter how she screamed, it didn't do a damn thing. The next second, she was suppressed beside the seven Soul Beasts.

Even though she was uninjured, all her struggling failed to break the black cage.

In the end, a black hand formed inside the cage and slapped her unconscious. She was too noisy.

At last, it was quiet.

Qian Nuo raised a hand and waved, releasing a cloud of mist. Ten cages rose into the air and were swallowed up by the weapon.

They vanished into the sky.

"The crisis is over. Have someone clean up here."

Qian Nuo spoke calmly.

"As you command!" Yue Guan and the others nodded.

Then Qian Nuo flashed away, taking Qian Renxue with him.

Not long after he left, two people arrived in the sky above.

Terrifying sword Qi filled the heavens. The newcomers were Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi, who had rushed over at full speed.

Seeing the devastation below, their expressions grew grave, and they understood the severity of the situation.

"What a terrible battle. The Soul Beasts are gone now, and we didn't see the beast tide along the way. Could it have already been driven back by Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo?"

Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi looked toward the Star Dou Great Forest ahead.

At that moment, an army was cleaning up.

After landing, they encountered Yue Guan, who was on patrol.

"Sword Dao Chen Xin!"

"Reinforcements from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you're too late. The beast tide crisis has already been resolved."

Yue Guan spoke coolly.

Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were on bad terms to begin with.

"Yue Guan!"

"Were you the ones who dealt with it?"

Chen Xin frowned as he asked.

"It was our Spirit Hall that dealt with it." A respectful expression appeared on Yue Guan's face, though of course that respect was for Qian Nuo, not Chen Xin.

Nor did he claim Qian Nuo's credit for himself, which was why he had said "our Spirit Hall."

Qian Nuo was a member of Spirit Hall, so there was nothing wrong with that.

"Whoever did it, as long as the threat the beast tide posed to the people has been dealt with, all is well. Many thanks to Spirit Hall this time." Ning Fengzhi stepped forward, leaning on his scepter, a smile on his face as always.

But his words carried another meaning.

A hint of mockery appeared on Yue Guan's face. "Hmph, our Spirit Hall maintains order on the continent. Even if your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect met with disaster, we would help as long as you came to Spirit Hall for aid."

"Rest assured, that day will never come. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can stand on its own feet," Ning Fengzhi said calmly, though he maintained his smile.

Yue Guan snorted coldly and walked away.

"Let's go, Fengzhi. Since we aren't welcome, it wouldn't be proper to stay here any longer." Chen Xin had nearly drawn his sword and cut Yue Guan down just now, but considering the power of Spirit Hall behind him, he had let go. He looked coldly at Yue Guan as he spoke to Ning Fengzhi.

"Spirit Hall, Yue Guan."

Ning Fengzhi watched Yue Guan's retreating back. The smile vanished from his face, replaced by a gloomy expression.

Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "In any case, this is Emperor Xue Ye's territory. Let's go into the Star Dou Great Forest and take a look. If there are any remnants, we'll deal with them. These Spirit Hall people can be very careless."

"All right, let's go in and have a look."

And so Chen Xin took Ning Fengzhi and flew onward.

Along the way, they also saw the destroyed Luokeke City.

They were deeply shaken, then entered the Star Dou Great Forest.

Meanwhile, upon learning that none of the ten ninety-thousand-year Soul Beasts had returned and that they had been dealt with by a mysterious young human Soul Master, Xiong Yun, the acting commander, was dumbfounded.

"What's going on?"

He was baffled. A mysterious young human Soul Master? How was that possible?

He immediately contacted the ten Soul Beasts, but received no reply whatsoever.

This time, he knew things had gone badly.

He had remained in the Star Dou Great Forest the whole time and had not gone out, so he knew nothing about the situation near Suotuo City.

That was because he had great confidence in the ten Soul Beasts.

They were all extremely powerful beings.

He hadn't expected them to fall anyway.

"Were you the one pulling the strings?"

Just then, however, a cold voice rang out from not far ahead.

"Wow, big brother, this person is so tall and big!" A woman's voice rang out, playful and curious about something new. From her voice alone, one could tell she was a very cute and pretty girl.

The sudden occurrence made Xiong Yun shudder. Had humans really evaded his senses and appeared right there?

If a powerful enemy came, they could kill him.

So this greatly alarmed him!

"Who's there? Come out!"

He immediately looked over, narrowing his eyes as an icy glint filled with killing intent appeared in them.

The next second, he saw Qian Nuo and Qian Renxue walk out from ahead.

"Little bear, as you wish." Qian Nuo looked at him calmly, without the slightest trace of fear. There was even a hint of teasing on his face. "So you're a little bear just over ten thousand years old."

"Courting death! How dare you call me a little bear!!!"

"I am a great Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!!!!"

"Human brat, I'll tear out your sinews and flay your skin!!!"

Xiong Yun flew into a rage and threw a punch.

The terrifying force brought the surrounding trees crashing down and shattered rocks.

The power of that punch was comparable to a fifty-thousand-year Soul Beast!!!

Qian Nuo, however, remained perfectly calm.

A black hand emerged from him and slapped Xiong Yun flying.

"Bang!"

"Aah!!!"

Xiong Yun's eyes widened in fury and shock. He could hardly believe this was real.

He hoped he was dreaming.

Rumble-

His enormous body flew backward, knocking down trees and smashing rocks along the way.

He crashed into the ground with a deafening boom, like an explosion.

Just like that, a deep crater appeared.
