Bear King landed heavily, planting himself squarely at the front of the entire contingent. His massive frame stood like the most solid iron tower, the ground beneath his feet booming with a colossal sound! He glared coldly at the grotesque, shrieking alien horde charging toward them.

Suddenly, Wu "Ba Ge!" Why are you laughing…" Shangchuan Po Ku roared in fury, jabbing a finger and demanding an answer. Simultaneously, his twin sister shrieked, "Idiot! What’s so funny?" "Hahahaha…" Bear King clutched his stomach, slapped his thigh, and burst into booming laughter.

"I’d always heard tales of the aliens' supposed perversions and deformities, but I always thought the elders were exaggerating. Now that I see you in person, I realize the world truly holds creatures as repulsive as you! The Great Thousand World is indeed full of wonders.

I am impressed, truly impressed; the elders spoke nothing but the truth, nothing but the truth! Today has truly opened my eyes…" Both of Shangchuan Po Ku's heads bellowed in unison, "Insolent! Scoundrel!" One voice was coarse, the other shrill, and when mingled, the sound was unspeakably jarring.

Bear King rolled his eyes, spat a glob of saliva, and sneered, "For creatures who look like utter trash such as yourselves to have the gall to parade around—it’s shameless beyond belief. We in the Heavenly Punishment Forest always considered ourselves ugly compared to humans, but standing before you, I suddenly realize how exceptionally dashing and distinguished I am! This sense of superiority is a first for me, thank you!

You bunch of monsters, why haven't you found a crooked tree to hang yourselves yet? What are you waiting for? Oh, my mistake; one tree won't do; you’ll need at least two to go around…" This Bear King’s tongue was truly sharp; one second he was offering thanks, the next he was inciting suicide!

Shangchuan Po Ku, enraged, let out a long cry and shouted, "He is merely stalling for time, hoping those feathered beasts regain their strength! Everyone, charge! Cut them into meat paste!" This individual was indeed perceptive; with just a few words, he grasped Bear King's intent and immediately ordered his subordinates into action.

Bear King roared back, "Pah! For freaks half-man, half-woman, neither human nor ghost, do you think it's worth my time to stall? I, Bear King, am the Bear King of Heavenly Punishment!

You monster, state your name—my blade does not slay nameless ghosts!" "I am Shangchuan Po Ku!" Shangchuan Po Ku grinned hideously, "Heavenly Punishment Bear King? Not bad, not bad. To have a Bear Clan king dedicate his blade to me in my first battle on the Continent—it’s hardly a wasted trip!

I hear the Beast Cores of the Heavenly Punishment Beasts are incredibly nourishing; the King's Core must be even better. To obtain such fortune upon first entering the Xuan Xuan realm—I am truly lucky! Hahahaha…" "Brother, why waste breath on this non-human filth?

Just go forward and cut him down. It's like using a butcher's axe to slay a chicken. Your subordinate requests the honor of dealing with this Bear King and presenting the Beast King Core to you, Elder Brother." As his deputy, Shangchuan Po Gua strode forward, fixing a cold gaze on Bear King, speaking coldly, "Bear King, given your status, you are unworthy of my Elder Brother’s personal attention!

I, Shangchuan Po Gua, have come to escort you on your way…" Bear King blinked several times, paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into earth-shattering, uncontrollable laughter, laughing until he was breathless. Gasping, he managed, "Huh? Shang Chuan Po Ku?

Xia Chuan Po Gua? You people certainly know how to pick names. If I weren't so clever, I might have been fooled by you!

These names—damn it, tsk tsk… they're magnificent! I’m truly curious, with names inverted like that… how do you manage to dress yourselves?! Today is truly full of rare sights!" The Eagle King, who was currently regulating his breath, couldn't help but roll his eyes, almost leaping up to kick his fourth brother Bear away.

Him, bragging about being clever? He paused for a moment over two names… If it were me, I’d have laughed long ago… "Ba Ge!" Shangchuan Po Gua’s two heads roared in unison, leaping up as his long saber materialized in mid-air, slicing down in one strike! Amidst his great laughter, Bear King strode forward, his right hand moving—Clang—his sword was drawn.

It was the divine weapon gifted to him years ago by Jun Mo Xie. With unvarnished force, he thrust the sword straight upward! Shangchuan Po Gua revealed a sinister smile as he faced the Bear King's oncoming blade.

His long saber was forged from a special metal found south of Tianzhu Mountain, making it many times stronger than ordinary swords. Seeing Bear King boldly meet the strike with his horizontally held sword, he was overjoyed! He was almost certain that his blow would cleave his opponent in two, weapon and all!

He had heard the inner cores of the Heavenly Punishment Beasts were miraculously effective; if he truly obtained one, he would swallow it immediately. Then Shangchuan Po Ku would only be slightly superior to him, yet he always bossed Shangchuan Po Gua around. With a surge in power, he could usurp his position… With this thought, he poured even more force into his strike!

He thought, You seek your own demise, so don't blame me. I’ll borrow your Beast Core to achieve my glorious ambition! Shangchuan Po Gua's vision was undeniably beautiful, but reality proved vastly different.

A deafening Dang echoed, spitting sparks of fire! Bear King stood as solid as a towering mountain, utterly unmoved. Shangchuan Po Gua, however, was thrown backward in a somersault, forced back to his original position!

Both men lowered their heads to examine their weapons. Bear King's bear eyes widened. His Bear King Sword felt cool as water; the blade showed not the slightest blemish, steadying his heart.

He was overjoyed again—the sword given by his brother-in-law was truly a peerless divine weapon! "Ah!" Shangchuan Po Gua let out a cry of excruciating pain. Failing to break the Bear King's long sword was already far beyond his expectations.

Now, inspecting his precious long saber, he saw, right where the blades met, a nick the size of a grain of rice! His long saber was optimized for cleaving, and it was already a divine weapon level artifact. Against an opponent who wasn't expecting a head-on cleaving attack, and with Shangchuan Po Gua committed to the full force of the impact, it was his treasured blade that sustained damage!

Such a fact, such a result, was utterly unacceptable to Shangchuan Po Gua! He simply couldn't believe, refused to believe, that on the Xuan Xuan Continent, there existed a weapon superior to his own! This was the Blade of the Demon Ninja!

Blood slowly seeped from the corners of Shangchuan Po Gua’s mouth. Although he was considered a top-tier master among the aliens, having reached the Saint Emperor realm, he was still a tier below Bear King, who possessed innate brute strength in the same Saint Emperor realm! In such a straightforward physical clash, though it lasted only one exchange, his internal organs were shaken!

Drops of blood splattered onto the ground, instantly turning into a wisp of foul-smelling green smoke as they met the high-temperature earth… "Kekekeke," Bear King's harsh laughter rang out, "Two-headed turtle, you actually have some strength. Come, fight Uncle one more round! Just one strike doesn't count.

Look how arrogant you were just now, wanting my inner core. Damn it, if I don't show you some real power, you really think having two heads makes you great…" Shangchuan Po Ku tilted his head back blankly, staring at Bear King, then suddenly roared and lunged forward again. Bear King laughed wildly and strode to meet him, but then—he stopped short!

Because Shangchuan Po Gua’s rapidly approaching figure suddenly—Whoosh—erupted into a cloud of thick smoke the moment he was about to reach the intersection of their weapons, obscuring everyone's view. Then, Shangchuan Po Gua vanished eerily within the fog. "Old Bear, watch out!

That’s the legendary alien Invisibility Technique…" the Eagle King shouted. "Careful? Hahaha, will caution help?

Just wait for death, you damnable clumsy bear…" Shangchuan Po Ku gloated triumphantly. Bear King grunted, and in that instant, he recalled Jun Mo Xie's words: "When fighting aliens, first keep your heart calm! They possess Invisibility Techniques, and those of us who can see through them are exceedingly rare.

Therefore, once an alien turns invisible, absolutely do not trust your eyes anymore…" "When the alien becomes invisible, close your own eyes, let your heart reach a state of clear emptiness, and use your mind's eye to feel everything around you! Use your ears to catch any minute sound; focus all your spirit to fight…" "Sense with the mind's eye, capture with the ears, fight with the spirit!" Bear King muttered, suddenly grasping the meaning. He immediately closed his large eyes.

He slowly lowered his long sword, relaxing his entire body. In his ears, the surrounding rumbling sounds continued unabated, the earth beneath his feet still trembled, but Bear King seemed oblivious to it all. All his senses were dedicated to capturing the impending mortal crisis!

To the left. The crisis materialized. A faint whisper of wind, so slight it was nearly imperceptible, suddenly arose.

Bear King remained still. At this moment of life and death, his supreme combat power as a king was fully displayed! Crude on the outside, yet meticulous within!

That’s right—crude on the outside, yet meticulous within! Suddenly. In the seemingly empty space to his left, a streak of piercing, chilling saber light materialized as if from the void, an exceptionally ruthless strike aimed straight for Bear King's neck!

The moment the saber light appeared, it was already less than a foot from Bear King's neck! Bear King let out a cold snort, holding his sword with one hand, instantly whipping his sword up in a backhand move—Dang—the deadly long saber was flicked away! Immediately following, he thrust his sword straight forward, aiming behind the path of the saber light!

A sound of utter astonishment echoed through the void, "Yi?" Immediately after, the saber light vanished completely, while Bear King’s counterattack pierced empty air. The sound of the wind surrounding him suddenly intensified. Shangchuan Po Gua darted around at high speed, utilizing Profound Energy, saber Qi, palm winds, and every available force—even the stones bouncing off the ground—to create an environment of absolute sonic chaos, intending to disrupt Bear King’s pure sensory perception.

And that chilling saber light seemed to strike ceaselessly, without pause, from every direction, every angle, attacking Bear King in an inescapable barrage! Although Bear King's cultivation and power were significantly higher than Shangchuan Po Gua's, under such bizarre attacks, he was powerless to counterattack, falling into an unprecedented state of passivity!
