As Qin Han Chu attacked Wang Zhen Xiong, the other three Immortal Saints simultaneously launched their assaults.
However, their attacks struggled to inflict any damage on the physical body of the Great Strength Divine Ox.
At this moment, the Blackwater City Lord suddenly appeared before Wang Zhen Xiong.
With his move, the Great Strength Divine Ox's charge was intercepted.
Boom!
The Blackwater City Lord unleashed a palm strike, forcing the Great Strength Divine Ox to retreat a step.
Though just one step, it covered several miles.
"An Immortal God Realm expert has entered the fray? This is truly a case of the elder coming after the junior!" Qin Han Chu sneered.
"Young friend, state your background, lest we cause a misunderstanding like the Dragon King's temple!"
The Blackwater City Lord stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of otherworldly detachment.
"I have no background," Qin Han Chu replied with a cold laugh. "Merely a rogue cultivator."
"A rogue cultivator possessing a Beast God puppet? This is the Great Strength Divine Ox from the Samsara Sea, and even a typical Immortal God would find it difficult to contend with it."
"How did you obtain this puppet?"
The Blackwater City Lord refused to believe that Qin Han Chu was truly a rogue cultivator.
A Beast God puppet was a treasure that even those in the Immortal God Realm coveted. How could an Immortal Saint Realm cultivator possess such an item?
The very corpse of the Great Strength Divine Ox was beyond the reach of an Immortal Saint Realm expert.
"Do I need to explain myself to you?" Qin Han Chu asked calmly.
"Since you refuse to explain, do not blame me for being impolite."
"Do not blame me if we end up offending each other!"
"If you cause trouble in my Blackwater City, I shall confiscate your puppet as punishment!"
Although backed by the Great Luo Sect, the Blackwater City Lord was hesitant to stir up trouble.
His Blackwater City merely had a cooperative relationship with the Great Luo Sect. Each time he requested their intervention, it came at a significant cost.
If Qin Han Chu possessed a powerful background, he could downplay the situation.
However, since Qin Han Chu remained silent, the matter was no longer his concern.
Even if Qin Han Chu's backers came seeking retribution, he would be in the right.
"If you want the puppet, just say so. Why use such a high-minded excuse?"
"Although you are in the Immortal God Realm, you are still nothing in my presence."
"Do not say I didn't warn you; if you dare to attack me, I will make you regret it forever."
Qin Han Chu's dismissive tone stunned everyone.
The Blackwater City Lord was a genuine Immortal God Realm expert, and Qin Han Chu dared to provoke him in such a manner?
While the Great Strength Divine Ox was powerful, it was, after all, a puppet.
Qin Han Chu's reliance on this puppet to confront an Immortal God head-on seemed like courting death.
"Hahaha... Today I..."
Before the Blackwater City Lord could finish speaking, Qin Han Chu interrupted him. "You wish for me to demonstrate the true power of the Immortal God Realm, correct?"
Being interrupted, the Blackwater City Lord grew even more enraged. "It's not too late to regret this."
Qin Han Chu chuckled, glanced at the Blackwater City below, and then declared, "This city is quite good; I intend to take it over. Let's go, we'll fight elsewhere to avoid destroying this city!"
With that, Qin Han Chu commanded the Great Strength Divine Ox to charge towards the high heavens.
"You all stay here; I'm going to settle this."
He said to Wang Zhen Xiong, and the Blackwater City Lord followed Qin Han Chu.
"Let's go and spectate."
Some Immortal Saints were about to follow and witness the battle, but they were stopped by Wang Zhen Xiong.
While Qin Han Chu dared to oppose the Blackwater City Lord, these Immortal Saint realm cultivators did not.
With no other choice, they remained in the city to await the outcome of the battle.
Thousands of miles high in the sky, only a colossal moon hung suspended in the heavens.
The massive Great Strength Divine Ox lowed mournfully, its terrifying, primal aura sending shivers down one's spine.
"Take this!"
The Blackwater City Lord wasted no further words. With a furious roar, he directly launched his attack at Qin Han Chu.
Boom!
The vast expanse of the sky transformed into a bloody hue. With the Blackwater City Lord's palm strike, all the crimson light converged into a colossal blood-red palm.
The blood-red palm appeared incredibly lifelike, resembling the Five Finger Mountain of the Great Sage Buddha, with even the palm lines clearly visible.
Beneath this colossal blood-red palm, the mountain-like Great Strength Divine Ox appeared like a mere fledgling.
Moo!
Under Qin Han Chu's control, the Great Strength Divine Ox's size suddenly surged.
Concurrently, the Great Strength Divine Ox was enveloped by Purple Heavens Immortal Lightning.
Boom boom!
The Great Strength Divine Ox's hooves struck the void, causing it to tremble, and the booming sounds sent chills down one's spine.
The people in Blackwater City, watching from afar, saw a gigantic palm that seemed poised to swat the Great Strength Divine Ox away.
At this moment, the Great Strength Divine Ox lowered its head, lowered its horns, and ferociously charged towards the massive palm.
Moo!
The Great Strength Divine Ox let out another roar.
In an instant, the colossal blood-red palm collided with the Great Strength Divine Ox!
Qin Han Chu felt the terrifying power of the laws descend upon the Great Strength Divine Ox.
Although the Great Strength Divine Ox's power was immense, it was now blocked by the blood-red palm.
Boom!
The blood-red palm vibrated violently. Although it had stopped the Great Strength Divine Ox, a significant portion of the palm's power was evidently neutralized.
Qin Han Chu attacked again, with the Suan Ni Immortal Beast, carrying the Purple Heavens Immortal Lightning, charging forward.
Amidst the deafening roars, the blood-red palm was finally shattered.
From this exchange, it was evident that the Great Strength Divine Ox was no match for the Blackwater City Lord.
To withstand a single attack from the Blackwater City Lord, Qin Han Chu had to launch two attacks.
"I haven't even used my full strength yet. If you exit the puppet now, I can spare your life."
With that, the Blackwater City Lord unleashed another attack.
Qin Han Chu also controlled the Great Strength Divine Ox, charging and colliding in the air.
Boom boom!
Beneath the earth-shattering roars, the battle between the two intensified.
An hour later, Qin Han Chu was completely suppressed.
If this continued, the puppet would likely sustain damage.
"Still not surrendering?" The Blackwater City Lord, desirous of obtaining the Great Strength Divine Ox puppet, did not hasten to use his killing moves.
"Surrender? I haven't revealed my true trump card yet!" Qin Han Chu snorted coldly.
The Blackwater City Lord sneered, "You still have a trump card? Then hurry and reveal it; you won't have another chance if you delay."
"As you wish."
As he spoke, a portal appeared beside Qin Han Chu.
Following the appearance of the portal, a lion's roar echoed.
Immediately after, a Nine-Headed Golden Lion roared forth.
"Nine-Headed Golden Lion!"
The Blackwater City Lord's expression drastically changed, his eyes filled with shock.
This Nine-Headed Golden Lion was not a puppet but a true Beast God.
"Kill!"
With that, Qin Han Chu commanded the Great Strength Divine Ox to charge at the Blackwater City Lord.
The Nine-Headed Golden Lion wasted no time. Its nine heads opened their mighty jaws, unleashing nine golden beams of light towards the Blackwater City Lord.
"Nine-Headed Golden Lion, how can you be this fellow's subordinate!"
The Blackwater City Lord swiftly dodged. A single Nine-Headed Golden Lion was already a challenge for him.
Coupled with Qin Han Chu's puppet, his situation became increasingly precarious.
"My master is wise and mighty, magnificent and extraordinary. Following my master is my supreme glory!"
The Nine-Headed Golden Lion shouted as it launched its attacks.
"Your resolve is commendable," Qin Han Chu laughed heartily.
"Who exactly are you? This is merely a minor misunderstanding between us. There's no need to risk our lives."
