The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2693 - 2668: Beast’s Eight Skill! (Fifth Update)

The Beast lunged forward, its roars shaking the heavens, its fist imbued with the might to effortlessly shatter mountains. Such a devastating blow directed at Lin Bai meant certain death if it landed!

Yet, precisely as the Beast's fist hurtled towards Lin Bai's head with the speed of lightning, Lin Bai countered with his own fist, intercepting the Beast's attack. A deafening boom immediately erupted.

The colossal tempest generated by the clash of their fists swept through the entire Fighting Arena!

As the storm subsided, the spectators, who had been brimming with excitement, stared at the scene in stunned disbelief.

An astonishing sight unfolded before them.

All the warriors had firmly believed that against the Beast's fearsome punch, Lin Bai, a mere Seventh Layer cultivator in the Death Reversal Realm, would possess no power to resist. They expected him to be instantly defeated, if not killed outright!

But at this very moment, the entire arena fell silent, dumbfounded.

They witnessed Lin Bai casually catch the Beast's powerful punch.

Completely unharmed!

"This..."

"How is that possible!"

"He actually caught the Beast's punch!"

The onlookers in the arena widened their eyes in utter disbelief, fixated on the spectacle.

Even Madam Yang and her retinue of elegantly dressed men were filled with palpable horror.

Within the Elegant Pavilion, Qian Youcai, taken aback, spat out the grape he had just been savoring.

"Hmm?" The Beast, too, appeared perplexed. It glanced at Lin Bai beneath its fist, surprised to find him astonishingly unscathed.

Lin Bai applied force to his arm, sending the Beast staggering back a hundred meters. He then shook his arm, a wry smile playing on his lips, and declared, "The power is indeed immense; my arm has gone numb!"

With the arena plunged into silence, Lin Bai's words resonated clearly, reaching the ears of every warrior present.

The Beast's terrifying punch had merely left Lin Bai's arm numb?

It was common knowledge that in the Beast's previous ninety-nine matches, hardly any opponent had managed to withstand even a single punch!

Even a renowned warrior within the Fighting Arena, an Undefeated General, had once proclaimed: "To contend with the Beast in brute strength is futile; none in this arena can match it, and few exist even under the heavens!"

Yet here was Lin Bai, effortlessly catching the Beast's fist with a single, casual gesture!

This feat alone was enough to send shockwaves through Black Water City!

After pushing the Beast away and shaking his arm, Lin Bai smiled and announced, "Big fellow, now... we can have a proper fight!"

Lin Bai moved forward, his form blurring into a fleeting shadow as he launched an assault on the Beast. A punch landed squarely on the Beast's chest, propelling it back another hundred meters.

Concurrently, Lin Bai employed his movement techniques with dazzling speed, relentlessly striking the Beast from every conceivable angle!

In mere moments, the Beast found itself assaulted from both front and rear, completely overwhelmed and unable to retaliate.

"Not only is his strength formidable, but his physical resilience is also terrifying!" Lin Bai remarked, noting that despite landing a hundred punches, he still hadn't managed to bring the Beast down, clearly recognizing its formidable physical power!

The tide of the battle had dramatically shifted, prompting gasps of amazement from all the warriors.

"We're done for, done for!"

"The Sword Demon withstood the Beast's onslaught and is now counterattacking!"

"He's landed hundreds of punches; if this relentless assault continues, even the Beast's formidable defenses may not withstand the Sword Demon's storm-like barrage!"

"Beast, what are you doing! Defeat him! Think of our wagers!"

"Beast, crush him, don't let us down!"

"I bet over a hundred thousand merits on you; this isn't for watching you get beaten! Defeat the Sword Demon, defeat him!"

Each warrior roared their desperation and anger towards the Beast.

In the Elegant Pavilion, Madam Yang let out a sigh of relief, a cheerful smile gracing her lips. "This fellow, he could clearly withstand the Beast's attack all along; why was he dodging earlier?"

In another Elegant Pavilion, Qian Youcai scrambled from his couch. His obese frame wobbled precariously as he moved towards the window, observing the Beast being pummeled in the Fighting Arena.

The maidservant beside him murmured, "Young Master Qian Youcai, if this continues, the Beast might actually lose..."

Qian Youcai shot the maid a furious glare, his voice sharp and cold. "Don't I have eyes? Can't I see?"

"However, defeating the Beast is not as simple as it seems!"

Qian Youcai's gaze hardened as he fixed his attention on the Beast.

At that moment, Qian Youcai channeled his spiritual power and bellowed towards the Fighting Arena, "Beast! Rage!"

Qian Youcai's command echoed throughout the entire Fighting Arena.

The Beast, which had been passively enduring Lin Bai's relentless assault and shielding its face with its arms, suddenly let out a sky-shattering roar upon hearing Qian Youcai's command. The immense power surging within it erupted like a tidal wave, blasting Lin Bai several hundred meters away!

This unleashed wave of energy was staggeringly potent.

Lin Bai was sent flying back hundreds of meters. He stared at the Beast with shock!

At that precise moment, Qian Youcai's voice rang out again: "Attack!"

Responding to the command, the Beast immediately surged forward, charging at Lin Bai. It brought both its fists together, swinging them like a pair of devastating hammers. The assault aimed to pulverize Lin Bai, as if trying to shatter both the heavens and the earth.

With this renewed onslaught, Lin Bai felt an uncanny change in the Beast's fighting style. The beast's fist techniques seemed to have acquired a new, hidden method!

"Split!" Qian Youcai bellowed once more.

The Beast continued its relentless advance, its arms lashing out. Its massive hands attacked from both the left and right, aiming for Lin Bai. If caught, the Beast could undoubtedly rip Lin Bai to shreds in an instant!

Fortunately, Lin Bai’s agility allowed him to narrowly evade this barrage of attacks!

Following his evasion, Lin Bai retreated another hundred meters.

A cold smile crept onto Qian Youcai's lips as he declared: "Shake!"

With this command, the Beast let out a sky-shattering roar. Its entire body launched upwards, only to plummet back down with incredible force, heading straight for the ground!

The Beast descended like a cannonball impacting the Fighting Arena's floor. A terrifying wave of energy erupted outwards, crashing towards Lin Bai.

Lin Bai was violently propelled backward by this energy surge. He slammed into the Fighting Arena's wall, a cough expelling blood from his mouth!

"Hmph." Seeing Lin Bai battered against the wall, Qian Youcai sneered disdainfully.

The maid beside him chuckled merrily. "Young Master Qian Youcai, the Beast is truly formidable. Why did it initially endure blows, only to unleash such power later?"

Qian Youcai responded with a cold tone: "What do you understand? The Beast isn't particularly intelligent. It lacks knowledge of cultivation skills or martial techniques; its victories are solely based on sheer brute force!"

"The Qian Family has nurtured it for many years, even devising numerous attack methods specifically suited to its capabilities!"

"These are collectively known as the Beast's Eight Skills!"

"However, the Beast itself is unaware of how to execute them. It requires someone to prompt it for these skills to be employed!"

"What you've witnessed thus far are merely the 'Rage,' 'Attack,' 'Split,' and 'Shake' techniques from the Beast's Eight Skills!"

"With the full application of the Beast's Eight Skills, its might can rival that of a Great General!"

"In typical martial arts contests, its opponents are not worthy of witnessing the Beast's Eight Skills. I never anticipated this Sword Demon could provoke him to this extent!"

"I clearly underestimated this Warrior, arranged by that seductive Fox from the Zhao Family!"

Qian Youcai glared fiercely at Lin Bai, his expression turning grim and unfriendly.
