Lin Bai withstands the Beast's devastating punch and then unleashes a flurry of counter-attacks. The Beast, initially surprised, endures Lin Bai's assault until Qian Youcai intervenes, commanding the Beast to unleash its "Eight Skill." The Beast then demonstrates newfound, devastating techniques, forcing Lin Bai onto the defensive and even injuring him.

The tide of battle turned yet again, with Lin Bai being brutally flung aside by the beast and sent crashing miserably against the stone wall bordering the fighting arena.

Sliding down the unforgiving stone, Lin Bai lifted his gaze towards the monstrous creature, a flicker of sheer horror betraying his eyes.

"His attacks… they’ve suddenly gained a method…" Lin Bai’s face was etched with solemnity. Previously, during their clashes, Lin Bai had only registered the beast's overwhelming brute force.

Yet, Lin Bai had also observed that the beast seemingly lacked any knowledge of martial techniques or cultivation skills, with each exchange relying solely on the beast's relentless physical assaults.

However, the beast now appeared to have undergone an epiphany, its onslaughts becoming strangely organized and deliberate!

Within the exclusive viewing chamber, Madam Yang glared with unbridled fury towards Qian Youcai's private room, her teeth grinding as she seethed, "Damn it! Just as victory seemed within reach, who could have predicted this beast possessed such formidable power!"

"Could this be the attack pattern meticulously devised by the Qian Family specifically for this beast?"

"Beast's Eight Skills!"

Madam Yang declared the name with chilling coldness.

A roar of excitement erupted from the assembled warriors in the arena as they witnessed the beast overpowering Lin Bai with sheer, unadulterated might.

"Magnificent! Keep attacking like that, crush the Sword Demon!"

"Defeat him, beast! You are the mightiest!"

"Come on, beat him! End this quickly, my heart can barely take it!"

"..."

Every warrior who had wagered heavily on the beast bellowed their fervent support.

Even Ban Ye and Uncle Fatty's expressions shifted dramatically; Uncle Fatty's face bloomed with unmistakable joy, while Ban Ye was clouded with palpable worry.

From the spectator stands, other warriors observed the unfolding combat with varying expressions – some smirked with derision, others recoiled in fear, while a select few remained utterly impassive.

"Beast's Eight Skills?" From the spectator's gallery, an elder with a silver beard and hair offered a faint smile, "Indeed, it does appear quite potent!"

This elderly gentleman, distinguished by his silver beard, maintained an air of undisturbed composure.

He betrayed no surprise at the beast's sudden prowess, nor did he display any concern for Lin Bai's predicament, seemingly content to be a mere observer of the spectacle.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The beast within the arena unleashed its power anew, its fists slamming relentlessly against the ground, kicking up immense clouds of dust as a terrifying surge of force rapidly emanated outwards!

"It is time to conclude this contest; too much time has been squandered." Qian Youcai, standing within his opulent pavilion, cast a look of utter contempt towards the Sword Demon before commanding, "Beast, kill!"

Upon hearing this command, the beast's eyes ignited with a blood-red fury. It lunged towards Lin Bai, covering a hundred meters with each stride, appearing before Lin Bai in an instant, its fists swinging in unison.

At that precise moment, Lin Bai also registered the spoken word: "Kill? Is someone commanding the beast in this fight?"

In the blink of an eye, the beast was upon him. Lin Bai steadied his gaze. The beast let out an enraged roar, raising its fists high, unleashing a barrage of attacks to its left and right, a horizontal sweep of terrifying power that would have been difficult for even a thousand soldiers to withstand!

The left fist swept out, followed by the sweeping arc of the right.

Then, with combined might, both fists hammered down with crushing force towards Lin Bai's head.

Lin Bai’s expression remained unchanged. He first deftly evaded the beast's dual punches, then, as he perceived the descending hammer-fists, countless bolts of dark lightning erupted all over his body.

"Black Water Divine Thunder!"

Lin Bai roared his defiance towards the heavens.

Crack! Crack! Crack…

A series of explosive thunderous sounds reverberated through the air.

Across the entire arena, winds and clouds swirled, the sky above the fighting grounds turned a grim gray, and innumerable dark clouds converged. From the heart of these clouds, terrifying strands of Black Water Divine Thunder descended, striking Lin Bai!

"Black Water Divine Thunder!" On the spectator seats, the elder with the silver beard exclaimed aloud, "He has actually managed to cultivate the Black Water Divine Thunder to such a profound level?"

"Is this the true might of the Black Water Divine Thunder?" Ban Ye also voiced his astonishment repeatedly.

Among the spectators, several individuals were identified as warriors belonging to the Tang family.

Among them, Tang Yuezhi, whose face had initially been serene, displayed a subtle trace of fear upon witnessing the descent of the black lightning from the sky.

This was because Tang Yuezhi had also noted that the Black Water Divine Thunder Lin Bai was now wielding surpassed the power of any cultivator of the "Black Water Divine Thunder Skill" within the entirety of Black Water City!

Naturally, they were unaware that Lin Bai harbored the Five Elements Divine Pill within him, enabling him to cultivate the most orthodox Black Water Divine Thunder in existence, its power inherently far exceeding theirs!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

A deafening peal of thunder echoed, resonating in the ears of every warrior present within the arena.

All the warriors present witnessed the countless bolts of black thunder striking Lin Bai’s body, yet they caused him no harm. Instead, these Black Water Divine Thunders were absorbed by Lin Bai!

Following the absorption of the black thunderbolts, Lin Bai’s countenance became fearsome. An overwhelming power erupted from his physique. He clenched his five fingers, his face contorted, and he took a step forward.

With advancing footsteps, a fist was thrown.

On Lin Bai’s fist, countless black thunderbolts converged, possessing a terrifying, world-obliterating destructive force!

"Seven Layer Thunderstorm Fist!"

At this crucial moment, Lin Bai let out a low roar.

A punch was delivered, colliding with the beast’s fists.

In the instant of their impact, the beast’s body, like a kite with its strings severed, was sent hurtling sideways. It shot backward for several kilometers, crashing heavily into the stone wall on the far side.

With a resounding boom.

The stone wall crumbled with a thunderous noise!

As the punch swept past, it left a scorched black path upon the ground where the thunderbolts had struck.

And the beast, lying on the ground, had its mask shattered, revealing a ferocious visage. Its flesh and skin, battered by the Black Water Divine Thunder, were utterly mangled and blackened!

The beast lay prone, muttering and struggling, attempting to rise.

However, the punch Lin Bai had just unleashed inflicted severe damage, rendering it impossible for the beast to stand again.

This single punch from Lin Bai not only vanquished the beast but also shattered the aspirations of tens of thousands of warriors gathered in the arena...

Lin Bai strode proudly towards the fallen beast.

His steps echoed across the fighting arena.

Every warrior in the spectator stands fixed their gaze upon Lin Bai.

"No way... no way..."

"The beast actually lost..."

"That punch just now was terrifying!"

"It wasn't just the punch that was terrifying, those thunderbolts were also menacing!"

"At that moment, the sky’s hue shifted, winds and clouds converged, and black divine thunders descended from the heavens like apocalyptic bolts, chilling the very soul!"

Many warriors stared at the Sword Demon, their eyes wide with palpable fear.

On the spectator seats, the elder with the silver beard, now observing Lin Bai, displayed unprecedented horror in his eyes. He whispered, "That punch just now... was that the Thunderstorm Fist?"

"How could the Thunderstorm Fist possibly possess such formidable power?"

This silver-bearded elder exclaimed in sheer astonishment.
