The gentle breeze brushed over the stream, ripples continuously rolling upstream from below.

He felt the gentle breeze blowing against him.

Xia Liu smiled slightly, "Has the Beast Taming Sect finally lost its patience?"

Boom!

As Xia Liu's murmured words faded, a figure appeared on the spacious ground below the stream.

The impact cracked the earth, raising dust that dispersed around.

As the dust settled, a cold, handsome figure appeared in Xia Liu's sight.

Enveloped in the same black robe, but exuding an entirely different, cold and stern aura.

One was imposing and terrifying, merely appearing caused the surrounding space to become oppressive.

It was evident that the newcomer was a true powerhouse!

Although not yet among the top echelon, he had the qualifications to challenge the peak experts.

"Such a domineering aura."

Xia Liu could perceive that the black-robed man possessed cultivation not inferior to his own.

"I've come for one thing, to sever your hands."

The cold and stern words came from Nie You's mouth.

The tense atmosphere increased several notches.

"Oh? What if I don't agree?"

Xia Liu coldly retorted.

"I'd advise you not to make a futile resistance; it wouldn't be good if you endanger your life."

Sensing the looming presence of Xia Liu's Qi Cultivation Stage thirteen, Nie You spoke earnestly.

"Do you know? Once, someone told me something similar, and now, I'm still standing here, while grass on their grave grows taller than a person."

"Courting death!"

Boom!

Thunder roared as Nie You's cultivation exploded in response to Xia Liu's sarcasm.

The peak aura of Qi Cultivation Stage fourteen surged forth.

The rolling aura felled the surrounding trees and severed the stream.

Looking at Xia Liu, he lightly waved his hand, diverting all of Nie You's mighty strength aside.

"You have some skills, but this won't become the basis of your victory!"

Nie You's hand art solidified, a giant tiger phantom appeared atop his head.

The fierce-looking tiger had two massive fangs hanging at its mouth.

Facing ordinary cultivators, a mere glance might paralyze them in fear.

The pressure on Nie You was not just from the Qi Cultivation Stage fourteen.

But the Peak Realm of the Qi Cultivation Stage!

With the added force of the giant tiger, his aura temporarily reached the Qi Cultivation Stage fifteen!

"The Beast Taming Sect's techniques are decent, but this can't be your trump card for victory!"

Xia Liu's hands swiftly formed a seal gesture, and between rises and falls, the seal technique manifested on his chest.

Then, he raised his hand to the sky, causing nature's spiritual energy within the vicinity to tremble.

The next moment, it all converged towards a certain direction.

"Peerless Technique, Energy Depleted to Mystic Yellow!"

As nature's spiritual energy poured down, unmatched spiritual energy surged within Xia Liu.

An exceptional aura swept forth ferociously.

Wherever it passed, the air seemed to freeze.

"Hmm? It's not a Supreme Grade Spirit Technique, yet it surpasses one! You're indeed strong, but only just so!"

Hesitating for a moment, Nie You changed his seal technique, astounded to see the tiger phantom becoming increasingly solid.

Finally forming a lifelike ancient fierce tiger.

The massive fangs instilled an unimaginable sense of dread within the vicinity.

Like a king in the forest, overlooking the entire empire.

Boom!

Without a word, Xia Liu's Peerless Technique palm struck down in anger.

The realm echoed, and from within the void, a Great Handprint carrying an unparalleled aura pressed forth.

Where it traversed, everywhere faced flying sand and stones, mountains and rivers collapsing.

Roar!!!

A deafening roar was heard.

The king among beasts, emperor of the forests, the giant tiger roared to the sky, charging fearlessly forward.

Attempting to swallow the golden handprint as trivial as sand.

Rumble!!!

The next moment, the sky thundered.

The two extreme moves collided together.

The mighty strength spread, toppling trees within ten miles, leveling low hills completely.

After the massive explosion, it was seen that the fierce imperial presence had spiderweb-like cracks appearing on its body.

On the contrary, the Great Handprint was entirely different.

It was even more brilliantly dazzling than before.

So bright, one couldn't bear to look directly at its terrifying nature.

"How is this possible!"

Nie You's eyes widened, unable to believe his lifelong condensing of the Imperial Beast, was shattered!

The opponent was only a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Stage thirteen!

He wouldn't believe it!

"Burst it for me!"

Nie You bit his finger, blood splattering onto the giant tiger.

With the added force of essence blood, the broken body of the tiger restored once more.

Its aura grew even stronger, even a Qi Cultivation Stage fifteen cultivator had to consider if they could withstand the pressure from such a spirit beast.

"Just a chicken and dog, not worth showing!"

Xia Liu stimulated his internal spiritual energy more, then severed the connection with the Great Handprint.

The empowered Great Handprint became extremely fierce.

Without limitations, it began to absorb nature's spiritual energy continually.

High above in the sky, oppressive clouds covered, the gathered nature's spiritual energy poured like a pillar being absorbed by the Great Handprint.

"This!"

Seeing this scene, Nie You's heart turned anxious and restless.

He initially thought Xia Liu could be easily resolved, but the outcome exceeded his expectations.

If he couldn't resist properly, he might fall here!

"I underestimated! Refine for me!"

Waving his hand for more essence blood, Nie You became utterly frantic.

This battle cost him dearly; even if he defeated Xia Liu, he'll need years to recover the lost essence blood.

The most terrifying part was the possibility of his own demise here.

Nie You was deeply regretful, had he known, he wouldn't have declined Nie Jue's proposal to attack together.

Crack!

Even though Nie You added his essence blood, once Energy Depleted to Mystic Yellow was fully unleashed, not even Xia Liu knew its limits.

But cracks appeared once more on the body of the giant tiger.

The next second, the once grand and powerful frame was nothing but fragments, crumbling inch by inch!

With the Lifebound Soul Beast shattered, Nie You suffered severe backlash.

Before the Great Handprint even arrived, his face turned pale, his internal breath extremely weak.

As the tangible handprint approached, a giant elephant phantom appeared out of nowhere, completely shielding Nie You.

Crack!!

The giant elephant could only withstand for a moment.

After breaking through the elephant, the Great Handprint swept forth, crushing everything in its path.

Towards a towering mountain peak a mile away.

Rumble!

With a startling thunder, the earth trembled and mountains shook.

When all was calm, the scene was nothing short of devastation.

A deep scar stretched for a mile.

An utterly shocking sight.

"Oh? It seems the Beast Taming Sect holds me in high regard, sending out two Qi Cultivation Stage fourteen cultivators."

Xia Liu smiled faintly.

If Nie You had come alone, how could he have evaded the Great Handprint.

With my current cultivation, that strike would be enough to pulverize his entire body.

"Damn bastard!"

Seeing his brother's inner breath in chaos, Nie Jue was utterly furious.

However, he needed to remain calm, because the strength Xia Liu displayed was beyond even his own resistance…
