Xiao Fang carried the Supreme Elder away from the exit, and Xiao Hei followed. A few minutes later, several 8th tiered and 9th tiered beasts came running in. They roared and howled as they circled around the two abnormal beasts. They made excited noises as if they had finally trapped their prey.

The thick legged abnormal beast at the center finally started grinning from ear to ear, then Xiao Fang finally understood what was going on. This wasn't just a simple hunt, this was a demonstration of strength. The thick legged abnormal beast was using this opportunity to display its strength to all its followers, and it was going to do that by taking down its rival, the leader of the thick armed beasts. A leader that had become a cannibal.

The cannibal abnormal beast was slouched over and constantly looking over his shoulder. It knew what they were doing, but it refused to be a stepping stone for their leader.

The cannibal abnormal beast roared back, silencing and scaring away some of the circling 8th tiered beasts. It was letting them know, should any of them make a move on him that he would grant them a gruesome death. The thick legged abnormal beast frowned when it saw its followers getting intimidated by the cannibal beast, so it roared back at the cannibal beast before charging towards it.

Roar!!

The two abnormal beasts collided with full force, creating a powerful shockwave. The ground and cave trembled, but the mountain was too sturdy to crumble.

Xiao Hei hugged up against Xiao Fang's side, so he comforted her by lightly stroking her hair. Despite trying to make Xiao Hei feel better, he was excited about the fight. He had front row seats to the greatest beast fight he had ever seen.

Xiao Fang was wrong about the cannibal beast, it still had a lot of fight left in it. Its hunger and pride drove it to push past its limits to the point where Xiao Fang was almost rooting for it.

Its fangs were sharp, muscles bulging, blood was boiling, and its eyes were glowing a bright blood red, a sign that it was ready to feed. It seemed as if it was going to tear its opponent to pieces, but its opponent was fighting smart, it never attacked if it didn't need to. It used its superior speed to evade every attack, but also deal powerful blows whenever the opportunity was there. Blow after blow, the cannibal beast was getting more desperate, so it was leaving itself open more often in the attempt to simply land one critical hit. This reckless form of fighting made Xiao Fang feel disappointed in it.

'This battle won't last long if the cannibal beast keeps fighting like that,' Xiao Fang thought. 

The longer the fight lasted, the more reckless the cannibal beast became. It wasn't long till the fast abnormal beast finally took advantage of it.

The cannibal beast suddenly attacked an after-image, leaving it wide open on its right side. The quick abnormal beast was quick to attack that opening, so it landed a brutal kick to the ribs.

The sounds of the cannibal beast's ribs breaking was loud and clear, and it certainly sounded like it had broken more than one. However, before any of the surrounding beasts could cheer, the cannibal beast suddenly clapped down on the leg that had kicked it.

Xiao Fang's eyes widened.

'It caught it!'

The amount of pain tolerance one would need to pull off a trick like that was ridiculous, but the cannibal beast was desperate. That kick alone might've been enough to end the fight, but the cannibal beast wasn't trying to win in the first place, it just didn't want to go down without doing some permanent damage first.

Blood leaked from the mouth of the cannibal abnormal beast as it clenched its teeth and tried to rip off the leg of the thick legged abnormal beast.

Finally, blood sprayed everywhere as the leg of the quick abnormal beast was ripped off its body. What followed were the loud agonizing cries of the 1 legged beast as it rolled around on the floor.

The cannibal beast looked at the leg in its hands like it was a starved animal, but before it could take a bite, more blood came rushing out of its mouth. The fiery light in its eyes slowly faded as it collapsed to the ground. It no longer had the strength to fight, it already accomplished what it set out to do. It felt as though it could die without regrets.

Suddenly, it could see a silhouette standing over it.

"You put on quite a show," the voice calmly said.

The cannibal beast was unresponsive, it simply stared up at the silhouette as it drew its final breaths.

"Trying to kick the bucket after you grabbed my attention, huh. It won't be that easy."

In the next moment, the silhouette suddenly force fed the abnormal beast's leg to the cannibal.

The surrounding beasts became restless, it seemed as if they were going to attack any second now.

After being forcefully fed the leg, the cannibal beast saw the mysterious silhouette turn its back to it to face the other beasts. Then something appeared in the silhouette's hand, it was a sword. The cannibal beast immediately recognized the sword, so it knew who the silhouette was. The person that force fed the cannibal beast was none other than Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang's robes fluttered as his hair turned white. What followed was the crackling sounds of his aura as it began to emit intimidating streams of lightning.

"Now it's my turn."

[ Divine Sword Cutting Air ]

The one legged abnormal beast suddenly roared for the beast army to attack, but in the middle of its roar it suddenly found Xiao Fang's sword running through its neck. The sight of it discouraged many of the beasts from attacking, scared some into fleeing, and made others attack him recklessly. Xiao Fang quickly dealt with the reckless ones first. Consequently, the more beasts he killed the more deterred the rest of the beasts became.

They were unorganized, and their coordination became sloppy. More and more of them started to flee, but it didn't matter, because Xiao Fang wasn't going to let any of them escape.
