At that moment.
While the Second Prince and others were in shock, Zhang Yang and the Beast King had already clashed!
The ferocious lion beneath the Beast King roared and pounced towards Zhang Yang with its claws.
Coupled with the Fangtian Huaji, it completely sealed Zhang Yang's escape route.
Seeing the Beast King make his move, Zhang Yang finally became serious!
He had been waiting for this moment!
Boom!
After a flash of white light, a crystal coffin appeared out of thin air, directly swatting the Fangtian Huaji away.
Zhang Yang himself then swiftly charged towards the lion, unleashing his terrifying True Dragon Qi.
A golden dragon suddenly materialized.
Roar!
The golden dragon roared, instantly terrifying the lion into submission!
The Beast King, still on the lion's back, quickly leaped off, grasping the Fangtian Huaji and thrusting it at Zhang Yang once more!
"Zhang Yang, I want your life!" the Zhenxi Beast King roared.
"Hmph! I want your life too!" Zhang Yang sneered back.
The crystal coffin once again slammed towards the Fangtian Huaji.
Boom!
Instantly.
The attacks from within their bodies clashed fiercely.
Powerful waves of energy continuously radiated outwards.
The residual combat energy was more terrifying than any previous exchange.
Everyone retreated further, only able to watch from a distance!
Yet, they were equally astonished!
For Zhang Yang was fighting the Zhenxi Beast King to a standstill, not yielding an inch!
"My heavens! So King of Jiangnan is this powerful!"
"We didn't just underestimate him, we completely dismissed him. King of Jiangnan has been hiding his strength too deeply!"
The onlookers from various factions exclaimed in awe.
Meanwhile, the Second Prince and his entourage broke into smiles.
As expected.
Their guess was correct.
Zhang Yang had indeed broken through to the Yuanfu realm, possessing the capital to contend with the Zhenxi Beast King!
"Haha, now we can rest easy! Even if Zhang Yang is defeated, he won't be in any danger!"
The Zhenxi Beast King was also filled with shock!
"So you've also broken through to the Yuanfu realm. No wonder you dare to challenge me!"
"Heh, is the Yuanfu realm that difficult to break through? Do you really think you're the only one in the world capable of it?" Zhang Yang scoffed.
The Zhenxi Beast King looked at Zhang Yang's taunt with disdain.
"Heh, even if you've broken through to the Yuanfu realm, I will tell you today that within the Yuanfu realm, there are still levels of strength. I am already at the two-star realm, and killing you is still effortless!"
With that said.
The Fangtian Huaji in the Zhenxi Beast King's hand unleashed even stronger energy, once again pressing towards Zhang Yang.
The crystal coffin emitted creaking sounds!
Zhang Yang's gaze sharpened, and he let out a cold laugh.
"Indeed, within the Yuanfu realm, there are levels of strength. If it weren't for the people around, I could have killed you with a single move just now!"
The Zhenxi Beast King was dismissive, completely disbelieving Zhang Yang's words.
He continued to mobilize the Yuan Qi within his Yuanfu, intending to completely suppress and kill Zhang Yang.
But!
The next moment.
The Zhenxi Beast King panicked.
Because...
A surge of True Qi, several times stronger than before, erupted from within Zhang Yang!
Boom!
Zhang Yang gripped the crystal coffin with both hands and directly slammed it forward.
The Zhenxi Beast King quickly blocked it with the Fangtian Huaji.
Crack!
But it was useless.
In the face of absolute power, the Fangtian Huaji snapped!
The crystal coffin struck the Zhenxi Beast King's chest heavily.
Puff!
The Zhenxi Beast King was sent flying backward rapidly.
The blood he spat out traced a seductive arc through the air.
What?
The Zhenxi Beast King was also defeated.
At this moment, everyone was stunned, including the soldiers of the Beast King Army.
They were about to rush forward to check on the Zhenxi Beast King, but he stopped them.
"All of you, stand still!"
The Zhenxi Beast King stared at Zhang Yang with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice.
"It seems I underestimated you. Your strength is immense! But if this is all you've got, you're still no match for me!"
"Heh, bring out whatever other tricks you have, or you won't get another chance." Zhang Yang sneered, swiftly charging towards the Zhenxi Beast King.
This time.
He intended to take the initiative and subdue the Zhenxi Beast King early!
The Zhenxi Beast King quickly retreated, avoiding a direct confrontation with Zhang Yang.
After creating distance.
He took out a jade bottle from his embrace.
It was filled with a rich red liquid, the blood appearing dark red.
This blood was the Ten Thousand Beast Blood, refined by the Zhenxi Beast King from the heart blood of ninety-nine hundred and ninety-nine ferocious beasts collected from the ten thousand mountains of Xijiang.
Once consumed.
His strength would temporarily increase by one star from its original level.
This was originally a trump card the Zhenxi Beast King kept for himself, in case the Emperor made a move against him.
He never expected to use it on Zhang Yang.
"Zhang Yang, even if your talent is extraordinary, and you've broken through to the Yuanfu realm like me, reaching the two-star realm, it's still not enough!"
"Prepare to die!"
As his words fell.
The Zhenxi Beast King directly opened the jade bottle and swallowed all the Ten Thousand Beast Blood.
Boom!
As the beast blood entered his throat, the Zhenxi Beast King's aura instantly intensified.
His body emitted creaking sounds, and his face was filled with a look of satisfaction.
"Heh, as expected of Ten Thousand Beast Blood, its power is truly astonishing." The Zhenxi Beast King laughed heartily.
Then.
He charged directly towards Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang was quite surprised by the Zhenxi Beast King's sudden surge in strength, finding his method quite impressive.
However, he didn't show much apprehension.
Just three stars, not four!
"Are three stars that strong? I don't think so?" Zhang Yang scoffed coldly.
With a wave of his hand.
The crystal coffin flashed with white light, and the True Dragon Qi transformed into a golden dragon, rushing towards the Zhenxi Beast King.
"Heh, still trying the same trick? You won't win this time!" the Zhenxi Beast King sneered.
He unleashed a barrage of punches, a spectacle of ten thousand beasts stampeding appearing, heading straight for Zhang Yang's crystal coffin!
Boom!
The battle between the two completely shattered the earth!
As if an earthquake, the ground cracked, and nearby trees toppled!
Dust billowed, instantly obscuring everyone's vision.
"Who won!"
"Is it Zhang Yang or the Zhenxi Beast King?"
Everyone stared at the dust-filled battlefield, filled with anticipation!
The Beast King Army soldiers even adopted combat stances, ready to move in for rescue at any moment.
Huo Zhu and others could no longer sit still and all revealed themselves!
Five minutes later.
The dust settled.
The crowd finally saw the final outcome.
At this moment.
Both the Zhenxi Beast King and Zhang Yang appeared quite disheveled.
But!
It was clear that Zhang Yang had the upper hand; he was still standing.
The Zhenxi Beast King, however, was kneeling on one knee, panting heavily!
"My heavens, Zhang Yang actually won!"
"The Zhenxi Beast King's strength just now was at the three-star level, so does that mean Zhang Yang's strength is also at the three-star level?"
"Too terrifying! How old is he to possess such strength!"
Everyone was shocked by Zhang Yang, exclaiming in awe.
Huo Zhu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, erupting into loud cheers!
"Heh, do you still think you can kill me now?" Zhang Yang sneered.
With that, he strode towards the Zhenxi Beast King.
Seeing this, the Zhenxi Beast King's pale face changed!
Zhang Yang intended to kill him!
He stumbled and ran towards the Beast King Army. With his life threatened, the Zhenxi Beast King no longer held back and shouted.
"Ten thousand Beast King Army, heed my command, march forth and kill Zhang Yang!"
