"Get the hell back!" The burly man, Aiden's expression was calm, and so was his tone. However, his blood surged like a raging ocean tide in a terrifying manner.
His muscular palm was filled with blood and green veins popped out as it expanded significantly once more, blocking Reverend Jor Har's line of sight and any path of escape before crushing down savagely on him!
Urgh!"
Grunting dully, Reverend Jor Har made use of the burst power from his diamond heart and leaped up. Before he could break free from Aiden's palm, he was pushed down once more.
The silvery luster on Reverend Jor Har's arms dimmed. His energy was draining rapidly. His end was there… there was no escape.
*SPLURT!*
In the next moment, his flesh exploded into a bloody mist, causing incredible pain and torment to its host. Reverend Jor Har's entire body shuddered, bending his spine while his knees were almost on the ground!
He felt as if there was a towering mountain above him as if the heavens had collapsed and wanted to destroy him!
If this carried on, Reverend Jor Har would be dead within three breaths!
"ROAR!"
Suddenly, a ferocious beast roared deafeningly. A dark shadow darted over and covered the skies, carrying forth a tragic aura that was suffocating. The mutant tiger-like beast that was dozens of feet tall lunged over with a stench of blood. Its eyes were vicious as it bared its sharp fangs and claws with a menacing expression.
Aiden furrowed his brows slightly.
Pure-blooded ferocious beasts were extremely strong and even higher-level artifact weapons were not superior against their fangs and claws. In fact, there were even some special weapons that were crafted from the bones, fangs, and claws of pure-blooded ferocious beasts.
"Interesting, interesting indeed…" Aiden's expression was unchanged as he continued suppressing Reverend Jor Har with one hand. His other hand was clenched, turning into a fist and his large tendons pulsated with his surging [Soul Power] energy.
Expanding swiftly, his fist was akin to a golden, brightly glowing seal with a torrential ancient power!
He stood on the spot like a towering ancient god as he smashed that golden, brightly glowing seal of a fist heavily towards the mutant monster's head!
The aura of that punch was terrifying and in an instant, even the air ruptured with a deafening bang.
As a pure-blooded ferocious beast, the tiger slash bareskin-headed beast naturally knew how powerful that punch was.
Although its bones were tough, it did not dare to fight head-on against Aiden's fist as it hurriedly received the blow with its claws.
*BANG!*
There was a deafening sound the next moment. The mutant shuddered in pain as it fell from midair.
Aiden on the other hand, stood where he was without budging at all as his tendons and bones sounded loudly. His eyes were brightly glowing with its usual luster, filled with a torrential fighting intent.
Watching all this, the Holy Maiden Sylvie Dewa felt her heart skip a beat. This strange burly man was truly astonishingly ruthless!
Whilst a reptilian from birth, Draconic Skinks were considered to be the lower end of the primordial ladder. Their fangs and claws were nothing compared to the ferocious beasts. Yet the fact that they could still grow to such a degree and be able to contend with such entities were simply too rare!
What was even scarier was that the burly man was actually fighting against two beings at the same time.
Suppressing Reverend Jor Har with one hand, he fought against the pure-blooded ferocious beast with the other. Despite that, the shocking thing was that his combat strength was not diminished and he was not disadvantaged even though his strength was divided.
Just where did this strange, mysterious man had come from? Why is he here? Which faction did this undeniable powerhouse belong to?
The thing that confused Sylvie the most was that she could not detect traces of secret skills or techniques from any sect from this burly man.
"Roar!"
Although the mutant beast fell from midair, it was not injured and leaped up once more with a jerk. It shook its body and in the next moment, countless corpses that were previously hung around his body suddenly turned into bloody mists and exploded with a violent momentum!
Blood spewed everywhere, forming a mountain of corpses and blood.
*SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!*
The tiger-like, bipedal mutant beast tread on that mountain of corpses and blood and charged over with its nine tails swaying like whips. The wind howled as it engulfed its opponent, Aiden.
The reason why pure-blooded ferocious beasts were so strong was not purely because of the purity of their bloodline and their terrifying strength.
It was because they possessed killing moves that other, regular beasts did not have!
Like those giant guardians back at the Fog Infested Valley. The large snake could utilize lethal poison and coat his own tail and use it as a deadly weapon if needed!
The sharp end of its tail was nigh indestructible and sharp. Even peak Martial Masters would not be able to defend against it with its body!
It was the same for the mutant beast before them.
Swaying behind, its thick tail formed a sealed space and they could attack from various directions. It was like dealing with not one, but multiple sharp steel whips that were extremely difficult and troublesome to defend against.
Reaching out, Aiden scooped in midair and grabbed the mutant beast's thick tail in the next second. Yet, before he could reach it, he had to retreat and defend against the strange illusionary space formed by it.
Even with his sturdy, highly refined physique, his organs would suffer from the impact of those strange blurry tails smashing on his body!
Left with no other choice, Aiden released his palm that was holding Reverend Jor Har down.
Instantly, Reverend Jor Har seized the moment of opportunity and his diamond heart pounded, surging his body with his unique bloodline. Leaping from the ground, he didn't hesitate even a second and decisively ran off into the distance without turning back at all.
He wouldn't have been able to hold on if it lasted any longer! Drenched from head to toe in cold sweat, he felt as though he had just passed through the Abyss's gates.
*BOOM!*
Annoyed by this, Aiden stomped on the ground and retreated rapidly. He gripped the real tail with both hands and exerted strength in his arms just as he was retreating!
The tremendous force was transferred to the creature through its tail. It shuddered immensely and its body nearly broke apart. Instantly, the other illusionary tails lost their strength and directions. They vanished without a trace in the next moment.
Aiden took a deep breath of air and yanked that thick tail, lifting the massive body of the mutant creature into the air before swinging it to slam onto the ground!
*BANG!*
It was a deafening crash.
Dust clouds rose everywhere.
Even the girl in white, Sylvie Dewa was dumbfounded. Everything happening before her had completely exceeded her expectations.
How terrifyingly strong must one be to be able to do this?
A short moment later, the dust dissipated and there was a huge crater on the ground with cracks all around it. Lying in the middle, the mutant beast's eyes were dim and it groaned weakly.
Holy Maiden Sylvie Dewa's throat moved as she subconsciously gulped. The mutant creature's bones were most likely crushed with that!
In that short period of time, Reverend Jor Har had already escaped to the horizon in the distance. Gazing back, his face had a faint silver shade and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He had to admit his defeat. This time around, he had suffered a huge setback.
The burly man's first attack wasn't that bad; after all, Reverend Jor Har managed to defend against it.
However, with the second attack, the burly man's aura began to rose! Coupled with the fact that he was pinned on the ground, Reverend Jor Har's body could not take it at all and the flesh on his arms was ripped while his organs had shifted positions!
It was truly an aggrieving battle for Reverend Jor Har.
While the burly man's strength was shocking, he felt that if it came to a life-and-death battle, he might not necessarily lose to the former.
As soon as they clashed, he was pinned to the spot by the burly man and he couldn't use any of his skills at all. He could not even manage to bring out his secret treasures and artifact weapons which were the bare basics.
If he had his trump cards equipped from his storage bag, the Diamond Staff, and the Diamond Bell, his fighting strength would have been doubled at the very least and he would have definitely killed the burly man here!
Although those were his thoughts, Reverend Jor Har no longer dared to fight Aiden given his current condition.
"Mysterious stranger… I underestimated you today. If I meet you again, I'll definitely take you down!" Reverend Jor Har's voice sounded from the distance, filled with endless indigence.
