Pao Bai was once again hit, and there was hardly any good place left on his chest. As for the armor he was wearing, it had long been shattered in previous battles.
Don’t think that just because he had held on for so long, he was truly stronger than the ‘future’ of these two major clans. His persistence came at a cost.
Pei Cun still wore a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, and once again, his beast spirit form changed. The sharp claws disappeared, replaced by a semi-transparent energy Blood Basin Mouth.
His body bent forward, with both hands raised diagonally upward, controlling the phantom shadow of the mouth to bite towards Pao Bai.
This bite was enough to send this detestable guy to hell. In Pei Cun’s heart, he even wished that his opponent would not die instantly; it would be better if he could seriously explain to him just how great the gap between them was.
The phantom giant mouth bit down, but the blood and flesh splattering scene that would stir one’s blood did not occur.
At this moment, the battle came to a brief pause.
Jing Wu Nan had initially retreated because his friend had unleashed the beast spirit ability. In his perception, this battle was over.
In a situation of equal rank, he did not believe that a warrior from a small clan could withstand the beast spirit's attack, even if that person was the notorious Pao Bai.
Only those talented individuals from major clans could withstand such an attack.
But… what did he just see? Jing Wu Nan was first surprised, and then an unusual expression appeared in his eyes.
Was it true that those small clans on the brink of extinction always had outstanding individuals emerging during times of crisis?
Pao Bai, in his astonished gaze, withstood the bite of the beast spirit!
He could only see that Pao Bai’s one arm was bent back, as if he was raising his hand in salute, level with his head, while his head was tilted, matching the height of his arm.
His feet were spread apart, and his knees were bent, causing his whole body to seem a bit awkward due to this position.
However, no matter how awkward it looked, he managed to withstand the blow.
Quickly, Jing Wu Nan, who had a high talent for combat, understood the function of this posture.
His arms and head served as a support point to withstand the beast spirit’s upper jaw, while his separated feet braced against the lower jaw. As for his bent body and knees, they were a result of the immense force exerted. A moment ago, Jing Wu Nan had heard some cracking sounds; those should have been the sounds of bones breaking, or even snapping.
In other words, although Pao Bai was not killed, he had still paid a huge price.
However, although Jing Wu Nan could not figure out why this person could block the beast spirit’s attack, he realized that since Pao Bai could do this, why not use both hands and feet directly? That would surely yield better results, right? Why take the risk of having his neck crushed? At the very least, it could prevent a few more bones from breaking or snapping.
But… why?
As Jing Wu Nan asked why for the second time in his heart, a flash of lightning suddenly struck his mind, and he understood what this Star Eye Clan lunatic intended to do.
“Pei Cun, you little…”
Before he could finish his sentence, his friend had already been sent flying backward, the powerful beast spirit form disappearing instantly.
The one who caused this, covered in blood, turned around and looked at Jing Wu Nan, saying, “It’s your turn.”

Ye Zhongming had regained some strength and approached Pao Bai’s side. He fumbled around his body but suddenly remembered that this was not Earth, so there was no smoke.
Back on Earth, the King of Cloud Summit would occasionally smoke a cigarette, which naturally had no negative effect on his health. That small amount of toxicity would be cleared from his body almost immediately, and more than that, Ye Zhongming saw it as a means of relaxation or socializing.
When he smoked, there would usually be people beside him who had a close relationship with him or had made outstanding contributions to Cloud Summit.
