The man with the mustache and I carefully looked around, panic creeping onto our faces.


    Sure, these guys were only Half-step Martial Saint Realm, but they had Demonic Beast bodies!


    They were way stronger than regr humans!


    "Kill him!"


    Someone barked the order.


    "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"


    Several beams of light shot toward the man with the mustache and me!


    The battle exploded instantly. I grabbed my Golden Light and went all out, every punch packing ten thousand pounds of force!


    We faced off against over a dozen Half-step Martial Saint Realm Demonic Beasts. Nobody could say who was winning.


    "Ah!!"


    I roared and looked up, raising my Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist. Golden light erupted as I mmed it into a Demonic Beast.


    Our fists crashed together like the moon smashing into earth, making a bone-shaking sound!


    What stunned me was that the Demonic Beast just stepped back without a scratch!


    "Damn Demonic Beast body..." I muttered.


    Any one of these things was probably as tough as Leticia!


    I quickly nced at the man with the mustache and was shocked to see him holding his own against several Demonic Beasts, even pushing one back steadily!


    "This guy..." I muttered.


    While I was distracted, another Demonic Beast came at me!


    It shook its body, and razor-sharp feathers sprouted all over it!


    Those feathers were wicked sharp, flying at me like a deadly storm!


    I didn''t mess around and roared, cranking my Golden Fist to maximum power, my body radiating fierce energy!


    The countless feathers hit my body, leaving white marks everywhere!


    Now it was the Demonic Beasts'' turn to look shocked.


    They stared at me, clearly amazed by my body''s toughness.


    "Boom!"


    More Demonic Beasts kepting. The man with the mustache and I fought until we were bleeding, injuries covering our bodies.


    But the Demonic Beasts had it worse. Many were beaten so badly their bodies broke apart, slowly healing in the distance.


    In no time, we''d been fighting for three straight hours!


    During those three hours, the Demonic Beasts took heavier losses.


    They seemed shocked that two humans could be this strong!


    "This isn''t working. Keep this up and we''ll die from exhaustion," the man with the mustache said quietly.


    I was gasping hard too. Like he said, there were just too damn many of them! If we kept fighting like this, we were screwed!


    "Time to go all out." I gritted my teeth, ready to y my trump card.


    But right then, all the Demonic Beasts turned to look in one direction.


    I saw a young man walking toward us from far away.


    He was tall and lean, with white hair and a long white robe. His eyes were incredibly narrow.


    Most importantly, the crushing auraing off him made it hard to breathe!


    "Greetings, Lord Crane!" All the beasts shouted together when they saw him.


    "Crane?"


    Hearing that name, the man with the mustache frowned.


    "What''s wrong, is he a big deal?" I asked.


    The man with the mustache clenched his teeth and whispered, "I''m afraid this is worse than we thought."


    He stared at the guy they called Crane and whispered, "Crane is a real Divine Rank Demonic Beast, and this person has definitely reached the Martial Saint Realm."


    "A Divine Rank demon beast in the Martial Saint Realm... that''s terrifying!"


    As he spoke, Crane stepped forward.


    He looked down at the man with the mustache and me, his cold face showing zero emotion.


    The man with the mustache gritted his teeth, bowed and said, "We greet the esteemed Crane. We''re just lost and didn''t mean to offend. Please forgive us, and we''ll leave right away."


    But Crane stayed silent.


    He slowly raised his hand and gently pped it toward the man with the mustache!


    The speed was so fast it left afterimages in the air!


    In that moment, as his palm moved, terrifying energy gathered in it.


    "p!"


    A crisp sound!


    That delicate palmnded on the man with the mustache''s forehead!


    The man with the mustache swayed slightly, then copsed unconscious with a "thud".


    "Man with the mustache!"


    Seeing this, I exploded with rage!


    "What did you do to him!" I red at Crane, fear nowhere to be found in my eyes!


    Crane didn''t answer. Instead, he used the same move, his delicate palming gently toward my forehead!


    But right then, my body suddenly shed with light, and I shot back several dozen meters!


    Crane''s eyebrows twitched, and surprise flickered in his eyes.


    "He already said we didn''t mean to offend, that we just identally entered your territory. Why do you have to push us like this!" I said coldly.


    "How dare you speak to the esteemed Crane like that!" someone yelled from the side.


    I shot them a look and said coldly, "He might be your lord, but he''s not mine! Even if you want to kill me, I won''t just sit here and take it! So what if you''re a Martial Saint!"


    As the words left my mouth, my aura exploded to its peak!


    Blinding golden light, like the sun itself, made it impossible to look directly at me!


    "Go to hell!"


    I seized the moment to strike, throwing a Ten Thousand Spell Breaking Punch!


    All the golden light gathered on my right fist, exploding instantly!


    Crane''s expression stayed calm as he raised his palm and floated up to meet my attack!


    "Boom!"


    A thunderous sound that shook the whole city rang through the air!


    Dust swirled, debris flew everywhere, and the power of my punch caught everyone off guard!


    My fist crashed into Crane''s palm.


    When the dust cleared, I could see Crane''s clear, transparent palm actually had a trace of blood on it!


    His eyes filled with even more shock, like he couldn''t believe the young man in front of him had wounded him!


    "The esteemed Crane is injured!"


    "How''s that possible! The esteemed Crane is in the Martial Saint Realm, how could a half-step Martial Saint human hurt him!"


    I gasped in the distance, despair growing in my heart.


    That was my strongest punch, and it only managed to scratch Crane''s skin!


    Worse yet, that punch had drained almost all my strength.


    Not far away, Crane shook the blood off his hand, then started walking toward me step by step.


    I clenched my teeth. In this life-or-death moment, I could only rely on all my trump cards!


    In a sh, a mark appeared on my forehead.


    This mark represented the Divine Dragon Power!


    And as the Divine Dragon Power emerged, all the demonic beasts present showed terrified faces, like they were facing their worst enemy!
