When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Two more days of progress for everyone.

I haven't encountered a single monster in the past two days, not even a single large crow perched on a withered tree.

However, the movement of the mist became more and more obvious, and even low-level student mages could see the mist moving back and forth with the naked eye!

At this point, Zhu Chongjiu wanted to lead his team back to settle things and finish the job.

But Zhu Chongjiu knew that no matter what others were like, he needed to become stronger. Now he knew that the only way to become stronger was to go deep into the Divine Void Continent. There was no other way!

Zhu Chongjiu led his team forward with gritted teeth. Another day passed, and Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "In another six or seven days, we can get out of the Misty Forest."

Just then, Zhu Chongjiu's pupils contracted, and he suddenly activated a qi barrier, not only for himself but also for everyone else. He then shouted sternly, "Old Wei, quickly lead everyone to retreat along the way we came, run as far as you can!"

At this point, Zhu Chongjiu shouted, "The Fist of Ten Thousand Gods!"

Zhu Chongjiu thrust out his right fist, instantly creating a fist shadow about ten feet in diameter. The fist shadow vanished in the blink of an eye, and Zhu Chongjiu followed closely behind, disappearing from everyone's sight.

The moment Zhu Chongjiu disappeared into the mist, his voice came from within: "I will come to find you in a while."

Then, a beastly roar that ripped through one's eardrums was heard!

The sound caused the ears of novice-level mages to bleed, and even king-level mages clutched their heads in agony.

This was after Zhu Chongjiu had cast a qi barrier on them.

Otherwise, with this roar, a student-level mage would probably explode and die on the spot, and a king-level mage would be stunned!

In fact, when Wei Tianxing heard Zhu Chongjiu say to retreat, he had already used a large-scale spell to lift everyone up and fly backward.

However, Zhu Chongjiu and the terrifying creatures in the mist were both too fast!

From the moment Zhu Chongjiu unleashed the Myriad Gods Fist to the moment the beast's roar rang out, less than a second had passed.

Furthermore, even if Wei Tianxing reacts quickly, Emperor-level experts can still cast spells instantly. However, casting spells instantly and using spells to move people away still takes time.

This time is definitely slower than the speed at which sound travels!

Just as Wei Tianxing used all his strength to wrap everyone in magic and flew a few hundred meters away, a loud bang was heard, like a bomb exploding, followed by a beastly roar that was even louder than before!

When Wei Tianxing looked back, the mist behind him was like clouds in a storm, rapidly drifting towards him!

Wei Tianxing knew that Ninth Brother usually dealt with any level of monster in one move. But this monster not only made him retreat, but it was also clearly not dead after one move. It seems that this one is a bit tricky. Good luck, Ninth Brother!

Wei Tianxing gritted his teeth and took out more than twenty top-tier royal-level earth ape demon cores to devour.

More than twenty inner cores instantly turned to dust in Wei Tianxing's hands. Wei Tianxing's speed suddenly increased, and he and the others disappeared into the mist in a blur!

Thanks to Zhu Chongjiu's punch, there is no longer any mist within a thousand meters of the man and beast!

The two, one human and one demon beast, stood a hundred meters apart. The demon beast standing opposite Zhu Chongjiu gave Zhu Chongjiu an unprecedented sense of awe.

Because it is a Suanni, a dragon prince that appeared in its previous world!

With a body a thousand feet long, a lion's head and a tiger's face, a dragon's body and claws, and a tiger's tail, isn't this exactly what the dragon son Suanni looks like as described in the book?

However, the beast's scales were as black as ink and had an oily sheen. Zhu Chongjiu searched his memory but couldn't find any book where the Suanni had black scales!

No wonder I was all puffing away in the clouds, it turns out it's a Suanni!

The Suanni paced back and forth, its eyes gleaming fiercely as it stared at Zhu Chongjiu, a large bump appearing on its head.

Zhu Chongjiu stared intently at the Suanni, lost in thought, when he momentarily lost focus and the Suanni launched an attack!

With its mouth wide open, a beastly roar that shook the earth resounded towards Zhu Chongjiu. This was the second roar that Wei Tianxing and the others had heard!

The loud roar, accompanied by a breath, caused Zhu Chongjiu's clothes to flutter wildly, and he covered his nose and backed away repeatedly!

After the Suanni finished roaring, it opened its huge mouth and bit at Zhu Chongjiu!

When the shouting stopped, Zhu Chongjiu lowered his hands, which were covering his nose and face, and yelled, "If you want to fight, then fight! You're disgusting me, I'll beat you up!"

With that, Zhu Chongjiu charged towards the Suanni!

In fact, this beast's innate supernatural power is called "Dragon Roar Shatter," which is a technique for cultivating sound.

The weaker ones could be directly blasted apart by the shockwave, while the stronger ones would bleed from both ears and faint from the shock.

Even a strong person of the same level would be stunned and stand frozen for a few seconds.

Don't underestimate a few seconds. Even for a king-level being, let alone an emperor-level being, a few seconds is enough time to do a lot of things. For example, some men are only good for three seconds!

What followed were some bloody and violent scenes. Zhu Chongjiu took advantage of his small size and greater agility than the Suanni, using martial arts techniques such as the Myriad Gods Fist and the Yang God Finger to continuously strike the Suanni.

Moreover, each time a spell is cast, the size of the spell is controlled to be the size of a washbasin!

The Suanni felt extremely aggrieved!

Shouting at him was ineffective, biting him was impossible, I used all my claws and tail, but I couldn't hit him. Instead, I ended up with bruises all over my body!

Even though he has scales protecting his body, he just keeps splattering them on his face!

At this moment, Suanni transmitted its voice to Zhu Chongjiu, saying, "If you're so capable, don't slap me in the face!"

Zhu Chongjiu was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Okay!"

Then, Zhu Chongjiu was seen prying off the large scales, one by one, from the Suanni's body and putting them into his storage ring!

The Suanni regretted it then. It would have been better to slap him in the face. The Suanni was still jumping around in pain. "You bastard, you took my scales! Don't you have any morals?"

Zhu Chongjiu replied, "You're the one who told me not to hit your face. What's wrong with me hitting your body? Your scales are so fine, as black as ink, like iron and jade. Whether you're making armor or antique ornaments, they're the best choice. I'm so heartbroken to have broken them all tonight!"

As Zhu Chongjiu peeled off the scales, he said to the Suanni!

You shameless bastard, these are my scales, what are you so worried about!

If you're a gentleman, let's face each other head-on. If you win, I'll do whatever you ask!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu stopped his skillful movements, flew to the opposite side of the Suanni, and asked, "Are you serious?"

The Suanni said, "A divine beast's word is a whip from ten thousand beasts!"

Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "What kind of words are these!"

"Alright, tell me, how exactly do you plan to confront them head-on?"

Suanni said, "It's very simple. You throw a punch, I throw a claw, and we attack each other."

Whoever can't hold on loses!

If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me, but if you lose, you only need to agree to one condition!

What conditions?

Take me out of this Divine Void Continent!

Without a second thought, Zhu Chongjiu replied, "Alright!"

When Suanni heard Zhu Chongjiu agree, his tiger face was filled with joy!

The Suanni said, "Little human, are you ready? I'm coming!"

Hurry up, stop dawdling, my hands are itchy, I need to use your paws to scratch them!

Arrogant! Watch out for my claws!

The Suanni raised its claws, which were the size of a small car, and slapped them down at Zhu Chongjiu from above, muttering, "I'll slap you to death, you little karami!"

Zhu Chongjiu looked at the giant claw falling from above and roared, "Myriad Gods Fist!" A fist shadow the size of a washbasin rushed towards the claw falling from the sky!

With a loud bang, the attack from the man and the beast kicked up dust. After the dust settled, Zhu Chongjiu was still in the same spot, while the Suanni took two steps back, and the giant claw that had just slapped Zhu Chongjiu was trembling slightly!

Zhu Chongjiu smiled and said to Suanni, "Are you sure you can handle it? I only used half my strength just now. If you can't, hurry up and say so, lest I accidentally hurt or kill you. After all, we have a history!"

Hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, Suanni replied defiantly, "What do you mean you can't? I think you're the one who can't do it. You said you used five-tenths of your strength? I think you used all your strength in this one attack and can't launch a second one. You're trying to fool me. I only used three-tenths of my strength!"

Zhu Chongjiu: "Very well, this time it's my turn to hit you, take this!"

Zhu Chongjiu still used the Myriad Gods Fist. He took a step and his fist was already out. The Suanni hurriedly raised its other giant claw to meet the attack!

An even louder boom than before, followed by cracking, cracking, and then a thud, and then silence!

Even after the dust settled, Zhu Chongjiu remained in the same spot, while Suanni struggled to his feet two or three hundred meters away. The cracking sound was Suanni flying out and crashing into a dead tree, and the thud was Suanni landing on its feet!

As the smoke and dust cleared, Zhu Chongjiu looked at it, enduring the pain, and quickly stood up to maintain his composure!

Zhu Chongjiu said, "You little beast, if you can't do it, don't be stubborn. Just admit defeat. I only used seven-tenths of my strength. If I use ten-tenths next time, you'll really be dead!"

At this moment, the Suanni also wanted to find its mother, but its pride wouldn't allow it to. Besides, it wouldn't be able to find its mother anyway.

Suanni gracefully walked to Zhu Chongjiu's side, but his voice was slightly tense as he transmitted his voice, "No, you can't use magic techniques. I'm fighting you with my bare body right now. You should fight me with your bare body too, otherwise I'll be at a disadvantage, and it won't be a fair fight!"

Zhu Chongjiu was so angry he almost laughed. If it weren't for the fact that this stupid beast was the only monster he had ever seen that still retained its sanity, and that it had a connection with him, Zhu Chongjiu would have already become One-Punch Man.

As for why Zhu Chongjiu ordered the rest of the team to retreat, it was because he sensed that this demonic beast was a true top-tier Emperor-level being. If he hadn't killed it with a single blow, the team members behind him would have been in real danger of perishing.

Although he still had his great sword and believed he could kill with a single blow, Zhu Chongjiu did not want to reveal too many of his trump cards. He thought that this was enough!

Zhu Chongjiu asked, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Think it over before you speak. This is the last time. After this, I won't be involved in your gentlemanly conduct anymore!

Suanni said: It's very simple. You can't use magic techniques, so you have to use your physical body, just like me, and then we'll clash!

Zhu Chongjiu looked at the Suanni, which was the size of a small hill, and asked doubtfully: Are you sure?

Sure!

Are you really sure?

Absolutely certain, it won't change!

Zhu Chongjiu muttered to himself, "Aren't you afraid I'll nail you to the ground?"

Then he shouted, "Come on!"

This time, the Suanni leaped up and used its hind paws to stomp straight at Zhu Chongjiu. Zhu Chongjiu looked at the Suanni's movements, smiled, pointed his right fist to the sky, squatted slightly, and then leaped up, rushing towards the Suanni's right foot!

Then, Zhu Chongjiu's right fist made contact with the sole of Suanni's foot. Immediately afterwards, Zhu Chongjiu's fist and body shot out from Suanni's instep, bringing with it a stream of pale golden blood and several black scales that had been overturned on the instep!

The Suanni instantly howled in agony and rolled around on the ground!

After landing, Zhu Chongjiu looked at the pale golden blood on his body with a puzzled expression. His own blood was also pale golden. Could it be...?

Zhu Chongjiu took off his clothes, used water control magic to wash himself clean, and changed into a clean set of clothes. Suanni was still lying on the ground howling!
