870: Chapter 866: It’s Just a Warm-up!
“Clang!”
A heavy sound rang out.
Although the Purgatory Beast’s mouth was not like that of other beasts’—sharp and filled with teeth—it resembled an eagle’s beak, which was extremely hard and razor-sharp!
Back then, many of the Heaven Sect’s Inner Sect Disciples met their demise under the eagle’s beak of the Purgatory Beast.
A single bite, no matter how “Copper Skin and Iron Bones” one’s body might be, would be shredded into pieces!
So, when Ye Tian was bitten by the Purgatory Beast, those around him started worrying for him…
“Boss, he won’t be in trouble, right?”
“How could Ye Tian possibly let himself be bitten by that beast?
He didn’t even try to dodge!”
“That beast eats people whole, bones and all!”
“God help us, I hope Ye Tian is okay!”
…
On the sidelines, Dragon Young Master was already gloating with schadenfreude!
“That guy got bitten by the Purgatory Beast, so there’s no way he’ll survive!
You have to understand, once the Beast clamps something in its mouth, it’s impossible to pry it loose!
That kid is done for!
Hahaha~~~~~~~”
However, just when Dragon Young Master firmly believed Ye Tian would meet his end in the jaws of the Purgatory Beast, something unexpected occurred!
“Screech—screech————”
Originally, Dragon Young Master thought that after biting Ye Tian, the Purgatory Beast would simply gobble him up, but after one bite, it actually released its grip and let out a sharp cry.
Within that cry, there was unmistakably a tone of pain…
“What’s going on?!”
Dragon Young Master was taken aback as he looked at the Purgatory Beast.
He noticed cracks appearing on the eagle beak of the Purgatory Beast…
“By the heavens!
Is that guy’s body really this tough?”
Dragon Young Master couldn’t contain his shock and blurted out.
The eagle’s beak of the Purgatory Beast, capable of easily crushing alloy steel, was now fractured simply from biting Ye Tian’s body—it was completely unexpected.
Just days ago, when Dragon Young Master had Wang Cai tame the Purgatory Beast, Wang Cai hadn’t even dared take a direct hit from the beast’s attack.
Could it be that Ye Tian’s body was even tougher than Wang Cai’s?
“You want to eat me?
Too bad for you, you don’t even qualify to devour me!”
Ye Tian smiled coldly as he glanced at the Purgatory Beast in front of him.
Because the Beast’s attack had failed against Ye Tian, it now looked somewhat shaken and uneasy.
Currently, Ye Tian no longer regarded this creature as worthy of his attention…
Taking a step forward, Ye Tian reached out with one hand to grab the massive claw of the Purgatory Beast.
Before it could respond, its balance was completely disrupted.
Ye Tian fiercely hoisted the Beast into the air and executed a perfect over-the-shoulder throw!
“Crash!”…
A crisp sound echoed as the ground shattered apart.
The Purgatory Beast’s enormous body sank deeply into the dirt.
With one throw, the Beast, writhing in pain, didn’t dare linger on the ground—it promptly took to the skies.
To the Purgatory Beast at the moment, perhaps only the skies were safe…
The Heaven Sect’s Inner Sect Disciples were left dumbfounded!
“Is this guy really that strong?
The Purgatory Beast makes quick work of us Inner Sect Disciples like slicing through melons and chopping vegetables, yet he acts as if the Beast is nothing.”
“Who in the world is he?
His power is unreal—he treats the Purgatory Beast like a mere kitten or puppy!”
“This is my first time seeing the Purgatory Beast show such a fearful and uneasy expression!”
…
Ye Tian’s display of formidable combat prowess left these Inner Sect Disciples unwilling to involve themselves lightly, not daring to act even against the Outer Sect Disciples causing trouble.
And those who supported Ye Tian were equally awed by his strength…
“Ye Tian is truly formidable.
It seems following him to Tianshan was the right choice!”
“If even the Purgatory Beast can be subdued so easily, then even Wu Wei Zi would be no different!”
“This youngster treats a mythical beast that even our Ye Clan fears like a toy; it’s simply mind-boggling!”
“Boss, your strength is out of this world—I admire you with all my heart!”
…
Among the spectators, only Dragon Young Master was deeply dissatisfied with the outcome.
He furiously directed his rage at the Purgatory Beast!
“You worthless beast!
You can’t even handle a mere human!
If you don’t kill him soon, I’ll cook you and eat you!”
Originally, the Purgatory Beast had taken to the skies for rest, sensing the overwhelming strength of Ye Tian.
Ye Tian’s immense power was far beyond what the Purgatory Beast could contend with, so the Beast hesitated, unwilling to engage him.
However, Dragon Young Master’s orders forced the Beast to attack once again…
“Screech-screech-screech~~~~~~~~~~~~”
Another piercing scream.
Ye Tian lifted his head to watch the Purgatory Beast flying overhead, now unleashing every ounce of its power.
The Beast’s strength was so immense that even the divine beasts raised by the Ye Clan, like the legendary Pixiu, paled in comparison…
“This creature still wants to fight?
Clearly, the outcome is already decided!”
Ye Tian furrowed his brow and glanced at Dragon Young Master.
This little brat’s own strength wouldn’t even match the Inner Sect Disciples of the Heaven Sect, let alone Ye Tian or the Purgatory Beast.
Yet the Purgatory Beast obeyed his every command—it seemed to greatly fear him.
“Who exactly is this brat, and what power backs him?”
Ye Tian wasn’t afraid to confront Dragon Young Master.
Like everyone else, his concern stemmed from the unknown forces behind him.
While Ye Tian pondered Dragon Young Master’s backstory, the Purgatory Beast had already swooped down toward him.
Like an aerial stunt display, the Beast’s extreme speed caused its body to rub against the air, producing an ear-splitting screech!
Martial Artists with insufficient Inner Strength instinctively covered their ears…
“Good timing!”
But facing the Beast’s death-defying attack, Ye Tian merely smiled coldly, showing no concern for this desperate move.
As the Purgatory Beast dove toward Ye Tian, he pivoted gracefully, causing the Beast to miss its mark entirely.
After evading the Beast’s attack, Ye Tian didn’t stop there—he smoothly applied a leveraging technique and redirected the Beast’s momentum, slamming it fiercely against a nearby cliff!
“Crash-crash-crash~~~~~~~~~~~”
The Purgatory Beast’s collision with the cliff didn’t just shatter the entire cliffside—it nearly brought down an entire mountain.
“Amazing!
Boss is incredible!”
“That beast doesn’t even come close to being in the same league as Boss!”
“With a blow like that, there’s no way this beast will survive!”
The three Ding brothers cheered excitedly.
Ye Tian’s attack, and its stunning visual impact, surely meant the Purgatory Beast was done for, right?
Reality turned out exactly as the Ding brothers had anticipated—the Beast’s all-out attack left its defenses completely vulnerable…
Plus, Ye Tian had added his own strength when redirecting its force, making the Beast’s collision with the cliff devastatingly powerful.
After the crash, the Purgatory Beast staggered weakly amid the rubble, its breaths labored…
“Screech…
screech…”
The Beast cried out in pain.
Though it managed to remain standing, it struggled to maintain its posture, teetering badly.
“Looks like the Purgatory Beast is doomed this time.
This is the first time I’ve seen it lose so miserably; even the Sect Leader doesn’t defeat it this easily.”
“Who exactly is this guy?
Who taught him his martial arts?”
“He seems to be absorbing the Power of the Clouds.
Is there really a cultivation technique in the world that allows one to harness the Power of the Clouds?”
“Even though he’s incredibly strong, after battling the Purgatory Beast, surely he’s exhausted most of his stamina?”
…
The observing Inner Sect Disciples of Heaven Sect, marveling at Ye Tian’s strength, firmly believed his power was now depleted.
After a full-powered battle with the Purgatory Beast, surely Ye Tian would have “killed one thousand enemies while losing three hundred of his own.”
Yet at this moment, Ye Tian’s expression remained exceptionally composed!
He approached the Purgatory Beast and suddenly swung his fist, aiming directly at the Beast’s head!
“Swish!”
Though it lacked momentum from a dive, Ye Tian’s punch was so fast that it produced the same sound effect as the Beast’s prior attacks.
Already half-dead from Ye Tian’s blows, the Purgatory Beast could no longer evade the attack.
As the Beast shut its eyes, resigned to death, Ye Tian’s fist stopped mere inches away…
After halting his punch, Ye Tian gazed at the Beast in front of him.
By now, the Purgatory Beast was clearly terrified—just the proximity of Ye Tian’s fist, even without impact, sent its nerves into overload.
Ye Tian’s feigned attack broke the Beast’s spirit.
Without being struck, it began to roll its eyes…
When Ye Tian withdrew his fist, the Purgatory Beast had already fainted!
“Hmph!
You wretched creature, you’re nothing but a warm-up for me!”
Saying this, Ye Tian gave the Beast a light push.
The massive creature fell backward, unconscious…
“Did you hear what he said?
Dealing with the Purgatory Beast was just a warm-up!
Does that mean he didn’t even exert his full strength to fight?
Could that be true?”
“I think he’s just trying to intimidate us.
How could anyone defeat a savage mythical beast like the Purgatory Beast without going all out?”
“But he did seem to defeat the Beast effortlessly!”
…
The observing Inner Sect Disciples of Heaven Sect looked at Ye Tian in awe.
Could this man truly be as powerful as he seemed?
