"Mount-Moving Axe!"
Shattering a mountain with a single axe strike—that’s what it meant to move a mountain.
The Beast Lord’s axe descended like the cleaving of heaven and earth, brimming with overwhelming power.
Where the axe passed, space itself was torn asunder, as if the entire world were being split in two.
Su Luo sneered.
"You move mountains? Then I’ll fill the seas."
A sword strike in retaliation!
This slash carried unparalleled momentum and force, churning the surrounding air into a violent vortex.
When sword met axe, a deafening explosion erupted, shaking the very fabric of space.
Light flared, energy surged, and the entire battlefield trembled.
In the end, the Beast Lord was forced back.
Su Luo still held the upper hand in raw power, though his hand trembled slightly.
The difference between human and beastly physique was undeniable.
The Beast Lord had no choice but to acknowledge Su Luo. "For a human to possess such strength—you can’t possibly be unknown. Who are you?"
"Does it matter? You’ll try to kill me regardless."
"True. But you’re worth remembering by name."
"No need to know me. Know my sword instead."
Su Luo leveled his blade before him, cloaking it in a dazzling radiance.
Not for show—but to amplify its lethality.
"Today, I’ll beat your name out of you." The Beast Lord wasn’t one to relent when curiosity struck.
Their weapons clashed once more.
Axe and sword danced.
The Beast Lord fought with brute force, relying on sheer might to create miracles—yet his strikes were precise, leaving few openings.
Su Luo blended strength with finesse, sometimes matching the Beast Lord blow-for-blow, other times deflecting and countering with peerless skill.
The Beast Lord grew frustrated. Wielding his weapon only minimized his injuries—it granted him no advantage.
This human’s overall strength surpassed his own.
He had to admit it.
But the battle wasn’t over. For all he knew, Su Luo’s calm facade hid exhaustion.
The Beast Lord refused to believe Su Luo’s stamina could rival his.
Even if he took more damage now, a single solid hit would even the odds.
He knew exactly how devastating his axe could be.
One strike. Just one was all he needed.
His aggression intensified, his power swelling rather than waning.
"Your desperation is showing. That eager to land a hit?"
"Hmph. Are you so afraid that one strike would finish you?"
"Wishful thinking. I just prefer not to look disheveled. So no—you won’t get the chance."
"Ridiculous. Opportunities are seized by the strong."
The Beast Lord redoubled his efforts. To no avail.
"Close. Almost got me."
"Need lessons on how to land a hit?"
"If you can’t manage something this simple, maybe you should retreat and train some more."
Su Luo even had time to taunt.
What else could he do? Kill the Beast Lord?
No—pretending to be a beast was too risky, especially without the bloodline of a Divine Beast.
The Beast Lord disengaged.
"Giving up already?"
"No. I’ll make your death excruciating. ROAR!"
The Beast Lord howled at the sky. His muscles bulged, veins throbbing as his body swelled like an inflating balloon, doubling in size within moments.
With his transformation, his aura surged, an oppressive weight pressing down on the battlefield.
Mystical tattoos emerged across his flesh, pulsing with an eerie black glow, as though infused with arcane power.
The Beast Lord exhaled slowly, his eyes burning crimson. "Divine Beast Bloodline!"
At last, monstrous energy erupted.
Su Luo faced the overwhelming pressure with a faint smile.
No transformation for him.
But while the Beast Lord had his Divine Beast Bloodline—Su Luo had his own advantages.
No reason to fear.
Still, he guessed the fight wouldn’t last much longer. It was time to end it.
The Beast Lord scowled. Even his Divine Beast form failed to unsettle Su Luo.
His opponent must have a trump card too.
"Sorry for the wait. Let’s begin round two. Seems our battle will stretch on."
The Beast Lord relished his new form—unparalleled strength, a sensation beyond compare.
This human would fall.
He was certain of it.
Su Luo chuckled. "You realize, don’t you? While you’ve been fighting me, your Grand Priest and the others are in trouble."
"What?"
"You’ll receive their distress signal soon enough."
With the Beast Lord absent, Di Haoran and the humans were free to slaughter the beast horde.
Knowing the Grand Priest, he’d surely summon the Beast Lord for aid.
"Lies! Don’t underestimate our beast army—especially the Grand Priest. In the wildlands, his power is unmatched."
The Beast Lord refused to believe it. Even if trouble arose, the Grand Priest could handle it.
Then the plea for help arrived.
Silence.
"See? Told you."
"This is your humans’ scheme! What are you plotting?!" Rage simmered in the Beast Lord’s voice.
For mere humans to dare provoke the beast horde in their own territory—
"Don’t lump me in with them. We’re not allies."
The Beast Lord ignored him. "So this is your ‘lure the tiger from the mountain’ tactic? Pathetic."
Worry gnawed at him. If the humans had planned this, they’d come prepared. What were they after?
A grave oversight.
Su Luo sighed. "Seriously? I never expected you to show up."
The Beast Lord had come of his own accord—yet Su Luo was getting blamed?
Unfair.
After a tense pause, the Beast Lord growled, "As much as I’d love to kill you here, our fight could drag on. A shame."
"So you’re leaving?"
"Of course. I am their Beast Lord. I’ll crush your schemes."
"Not my schemes." Su Luo sheathed his sword, gathering energy.
"You won’t stop me?" The Beast Lord was baffled. Wasn’t Su Luo sent to delay him?
"Go ahead." Su Luo wouldn’t repeat himself.
"Wait here for me?" The Beast Lord’s request was naive—but sincere.
Once he resolved the crisis, he’d return to finish their duel.
Eliminating Su Luo sooner was preferable.
"You think I’d agree?" Su Luo had no intention of waiting.
"Fine. No matter. Sooner or later, I’ll find you—and kill you."
His next move was to invade human territory. Their paths would cross again.
The Beast Lord sped off toward the Grand Priest’s location.
Su Luo raised a hand, aiming at the distant figure, energy still coalescing.
"I’m not one to hold grudges… but you came looking for trouble."
"I won’t let that slide."
"One last gift for you."
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
