Yin Banshuang was rendered speechless. Why was this lad gaining the benefits when she was the one putting in the effort ultimately?
Mo Wen did not care about Yin Banshuang’s depressed feelings. He simply flew leisurely over to the group of monstrous beasts. He did not look like he was in a hurry but he had already traveled thousands of meters in the blink of an eye.
Inside, Yin Banshuang was very upset. She crossed her arms and stood on the spot without moving, as though she had not heard Mo Wen’s words.
What right did this lad have to be the good guy and obtain the spiritual stone at the same time? Meanwhile, she was the one who had to risk her life in fighting!

Banshuang, you should know that I am unable to go against so many monstrous beasts on my own. I’m afraid that I would have to use my Soul power. However, you also know that there is a limit to my Soul power. If I overuse it at this point in time, I will be unable to use it for a very long time after.
Mo Wen’s light and airy voice drifted over from a distance away. His tone was as calm and unhurried as before.


Yin Banshuang’s face immediately turned dark. This bstard was actually threatening her! The whole reason that she had collaborated with Mo Wen was that she had her eye on his Soul power, which was able to threaten even ancient martial art practitioners with the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm. With such a person present, they would have an edge against monstrous beasts. In fact, the Soul power would be all the more effective against creatures like monstrous beasts who were not very developed spiritually.

Bstard.
Yin Banshuang gritted her teeth as she looked at Mo Wen’s back. Although she was very angry, she still followed behind him. She also knew that Mo Wen was right. Against so many monstrous beasts, his Soul power alone would not be enough. In order to face their next hurdle, she had no other choice but to give in.
With Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang joining in the battle, the situation improved immediately. The Sect Elder of Purple Qi Pavilion, Gongyang Cheng, did not slack off either. He had returned once again to kill off the group of monstrous beasts.
Mo Wen took leisurely steps as he headed directly for the strongest Snow Leopard King. However, he did not attack immediately. Instead, he turned back to look at Yin Banshuang.
After a day of interaction, the two of them had reached a certain level of tacit understanding. Upon glaring at Mo Wen, she let out a low shout and her entire aura became insane. In a moment, she had grown to over three meters and looked just like a female warrior.
With a spring in her step, Yin Banshuang’s body had appeared above the head of the Snow Leopard King. The Tiger Claw spiritual weapon in her hand immediately revealed five three-meter-long white colored claws. From above, it viciously scratched down at the Snow Leopard King.
At that exact moment, Wu Feng was swaying slightly under the strong attack of the Snow Leopard King. His position was fraught with danger and it looked as though he would be threatened by death at any time.
Initially, the Snow Leopard King had maintained the upper hand in the battle. However, things had begun to change as the two people who had barged into the battleground headed right towards it. They even challenged its power. Immediately, it lashed out. The fur on its body all stood on end. In both its eyes, there was a cold, blue gleam shining, as it fixed its eyes on the figure of Yin Banshuang that was attacking from above.
The savage beast’s mouth curled upwards slightly. It even actually made a very human-like mocking expression, as though it was laughing at Yin Banshuang for not knowing her abilities.
Indeed, based on the Snow Leopard King’s Cultivation alone, even Pavilion Leader Ye Rong would not necessarily be stronger than it. If they had been stronger than the beast, why would the group of people from Purple Qi Pavilion have been so haggard?


Although Yin Banshuang had exceptional talent and her battle abilities were also extremely stunning, in comparison to the Snow Leopard King, she was still one and a half stars short of it.
However, it seemed as though Yin Banshuang had given no though to the gap in abilities between them. The claw she had was strong and vicious and she had given it her all. It was as though that single claw could really kill off the Snow Leopard King on the spot.
The Snow Leopard King shifted its attention onto Yin Banshuang. Wu Feng who was in the midst of the battle immediately felt some of the pressure lift off him. However, before he had the chance to catch his breath, his eyes suddenly widened as he watched the hot figure that was coming down from above.
He would never have dreamt of being able to meet Yin Banshuang, and in such a situation at that!
Was she crazy? Using such a method against the Snow Leopard King meant not leaving an escape route for herself. With the Snow Leopard King’s power, even if she did not die, she would end up with very serious injuries. He knew that Yin Banshuang was very powerful and was very possibly stronger than him. However, no matter how powerful, she could not possibly be strong enough be able to clash with the Snow Leopard King directly like that.
Wu Feng breathed out coldly. Then, he gritted his teeth. Without caring about his own injuries, he went for an attack once again, giving it his all against the Snow Leopard King.
Although he did not know why Yin Banshuang would appear here, he knew that she was clearly helping them. He wanted to play his part in restraining the Snow Leopard King, so as to reduce her burden.
Only Mo Wen still had a smile on his face. The only change was that his pair of previously clear eyes had instantly turned gold. It was as though there were fiery gold flames burning in his eyes.
In the next moment, something unexpected happened. The Snow Leopard King staggered and let out a moan. There was a hazy look in its deep blue eyes, as though it had just woken up. The vicious and fierce aura had also reduced as the beast lowered his head. The power that he had garnered for an attack had also vanished entirely.
At that exact moment, Yin Banshuang appeared right above the Snow Leopard King’s head and scratched downwards. There was a ripping sound. It was a resounding sound of the ripping of cloth. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere, spraying down like rain and staining the entire ground red.


The Snow Leopard King had actually not put up any resistance at all. He had simply allowed Yin Banshuang’s claw to descend upon him. When the few Sect Elders of Purple Qi Pavilion digested the scene, they were simply amazed.
The Snow Leopard King was a monstrous beast that had experienced hundreds of battles. At the second level, it was also a champion of the monstrous beasts. How could it have possibly committed such a grave mistake? Under normal circumstances, such a thing would definitely not have happened.
Although the monstrous beast was not very intellectual, it had a basic battle capability. Often, based on battle knowledge and techniques, humans were far behind monstrous beasts.
Aow! A sound rang throughout the second layer. The frightening explosion could even be heard from a distance of ten miles away. The only thing that could be seen was a scary white light exuding from the body of the Snow Leopard King. It seemed to radiate out, immediately covering a radius of a hundred meters.
It was a good thing that Yin Banshuang was well-prepared beforehand. After using her claw, she retreated while she still had the chance. She had already escaped to at least 200 meters away. Hence, she was unaffected by the strong radiating waves of white light.

So powerful!
Wu Feng was also standing a hundred meters away. He did not get too close to the Snow Leopard King. He muttered to himself as he looked at the scary circle of white light and trembled internally. If he had been standing within the radius of the white light, even if he had not been killed, he would have been rendered disabled.
After the white light receded, within a radius of 300 meters, a deep pit of two meters had appeared. A huge white colored monstrous beast was lying in the pit, with its entire body covered in blood. The blood that had flowed out pooled into a little puddle and the smell of iron drifted through the air.
At the moment, the image of the Snow Leopard King was one of a monstrous beast at the brink of death. On its white coat, there were five very frightening wounds. Each and every one of them was deep. The skin on both sides had flipped open and one could even see the internal organs through the wounds.
That claw from Yin Banshuang had almost decapacitated a strong Snow Leopard King entirely!
The Snow Leopard King lay in its own blood and its eyes were bloodshot as it glared at Yin Banshuang who was hundreds of meters away. Its eyes were filled with hatred and rage. Anyone could tell that the Snow Leopard King was currently in a very dangerous position.


However, other than glaring at Yin Banshuang, the Snow Leopard King also shifted his gaze to look at Mo Wen. He could not help the fearful expression that surfaced. It was as though he saw something that made him petrified.
Monstrous beasts were not as complicated as humans. Normally, their thoughts were very simple. They did not have much self-awareness, unlike humans. Their method of perceiving danger was also very simple. They merely based it on their gut feeling.
That Soul attack that Mo Wen had unleashed previously made the Snow Leopard King feel like Mo Wen was of a very high caliber, someone that he could not surpass, and someone whom he was unable to match up against. In many ways, Monstrous beasts were not as advanced as humans. At the moment, in the eyes of the Snow Leopard King, Mo Wen was like those who lived in Beast Lairs that were of the fifth layer and above or those powerful monstrous beasts that had the seventh level peak Cultivation.
That was because only the ultimate masters could cause pressure on the weaker ones emotionally.
This was also the reason why Yin Banshuang admired Mo Wen so much and felt that he was capable of accompanying her to obtain the Vital Qi. Emotional pressure was far more effective on monstrous beasts than on humans.

Let’s retreat. This Snow Leopard King is not easily defeated. If we insist on killing it, I’m afraid we will have to pay a very huge price for it.
Mo Wen was hovering in mid-air as he looked at the Snow Leopard King on the ground, seemingly on the verge of death. That Snow Leopard King appeared to be battling with death. However, in reality, it was the most dangerous moment. A seventh level intermediate stage monstrous beast would not die so easily. If it went insane and gave it its last shot, they would possibly lose more people there if they were not cautious enough.
Yin Banshuang nodded her head expressionlessly. Naturally, she also knew this principle. If not for the contribution of Mo Wen’s Soul attack, she would not have possibly been able to deal such a huge blow to the Snow Leopard King; if it were now, even with Mo Wen’s Soul attack, she would not even dare to battle against the Snow Leopard King directly again.
Because the Snow Leopard King had been injured, those monstrous beasts that had followed the lead of the Snow Leopard King had been frightened. One by one, they gathered towards the position where the Snow Leopard King was lying, intercepting the attacks made by the few people from Purple Qi Pavilion.
After the Sect Elders from Purple Qi Pavilion witnessed the successful attack on the Snow Leopard King, they were not foolish enough to continue challenging the beats. One by one, they retreated immediately and removed themselves from the battle area.
As for Wu Feng, he did not dare to challenge the heavily-injured Snow Leopard King at such a time either. He retreated with a flash and gathered back together with a few others from Purple Qi Pavilion.



Let’s go. Although monstrous beasts are not very intellectual, they still have some intelligence. I don’t think the Snow Leopard King will come after us anymore.
Mo Wen glanced over at the Snow Leopard King that was lying in a pool of blood. Then, he retreated silently. Any living being would be able to sense danger. When they were on the brink of death, they would usually be able to make the right decision.
The group of people that were still gathered around the group of monstrous beasts beforehand also retreated one by one. Only after they had retreated thousands of meters away did they finally let out a breath of relief. Nobody was willing to continue battling against the monstrous beasts.
From the time that Mo Wen barged into the battle, up till the battle had ended, it had only been a few minutes. At the moment, the Sect Elder, Gongyang Cheng, who had turned back halfway finally flew over with Meng Tiantian in tow. Initially, he had been all prepared for a huge battle but was reluctant to go over. However, the battle had actually ended by the time he arrived.
