Thanks to their comfortable living conditions and the nourishment of Spiritual Qi, Zhao Jinhua and Liu Fang, although not formally trained, are much more robust than ordinary peers.

If it were an ordinary Human Bear, the brothers would never be in such a sorry state.

But what is relentlessly pursuing them now is a Demon Beast!

Even though the giant bear is injured, it still chases them relentlessly.

The two fled madly, unable to choose their path, with their bodies torn and bloody from the surrounding branches, yet they dared not stop!

"Brother Jinhu... can't... can't run anymore!"

Liu Fang gasped for breath, his face covered in blood that had blinded his left eye.

"Even if you can't run, you must!"

Zhao Jinhua helped Liu Fang, sliding and crawling down a snow-covered steep slope.

Just as they landed, a frost-covered boulder was crash-thrust towards them by the giant bear!

Rolling down the slope they had just descended!

As the boulder was about to crush them into meat patties, a heavy whooshing sound came from behind!

Bang!

A long spear whistled through the air, instantly piercing the space between them and the boulder!

Boom!

The boulder hit the shaft of the spear, changing its trajectory immediately, and rolled towards the other hillside!

As the two realized what happened, Shen Wenxing and Huang Qingzhou were already standing not far away.

"Shi Tou!"

Rescued from death's door, Zhao Jinhua shouted excitedly.

Shen Wenxing's gaze was fixed on the giant bear at the top of the slope.

"Can you still move?"

"If you can, quickly leave this place."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinhua hurriedly helped Liu Fang to hide behind the two of them.

"Can the two of us handle this creature?"

Looking at the towering two-zhang giant bear emitting a malevolent aura, Huang Qingzhou's expression was a bit solemn.

He was only at the Qi Cultivation First Layer, and the aura emanating from the giant bear made him feel overwhelming pressure.

Shen Wenxing glanced at the Human Bear and smiled lightly, "No need for a father-in-law, let me try it."

This Human Bear is indeed a Demon Beast, but judging by its aura, it is only equivalent to the Second or Third Layer of Qi Cultivation, and is injured. He is confident he can handle it.

Huang Qingzhou knew that his strength was no match for his son-in-law, so he did not act rashly and retreated beside Zhao Jinhua and Liu Fang, ready to assist if needed.

Shen Wenxing stirred the Spiritual Power within him and charged straight ahead.

He didn't even bring his weapon, planning to confront this Demon Beast purely with the strength of his physical body!

Initially, the Human Bear Demon Beast had been injured by the huge Beast Trap set by Zhao Jinhua and Liu Fang, and then harried by them, but it never managed to catch them.

Its ferocity had long been provoked.

Only when it sensed the Spiritual Power fluctuations from Shen Wenxing and Huang Qingzhou did it feel a slight dread.

But now, seeing the two-legged beast charging barehanded, its temper flared instantly!

Roar!

Its enormous head suddenly stretched forward, letting out a roar toward Shen Wenxing!

Invisible sound waves shook the surrounding snow into flurries, and branches snapped like a storm!

Shen Wenxing was hit head-on, feeling that the beast's roar contained some strange power, washing over him like a tide!

He realized that if it were an ordinary person, being hit directly by this roar, their five viscera would likely be shattered!

Fortunately, as a Body Cultivator, his body far surpassed ordinary people, enduring the attack solely with the power of his Qi Blood!

Under the Human Bear Demon Beast's deafening roar, Shen Wenxing quickly charged forward, leaping up before the beast could react, delivering a punch to its head!

Bang!

The roar suddenly stopped when the head was hit!

It staggered back two steps, shook its slightly dizzy head, and once it regained consciousness, its massive bear paw swiped swiftly at Shen Wenxing!

Shen Wenxing nimbly dodged aside.

The giant bear paw swung empty, smashing the hard rock beneath and bringing another swipe reverse!

Madness flashed in Shen Wenxing's eyes.

This Human Bear Demon Beast seemed to only possess great strength and some simple sonic attack capability, with no other special abilities.

He wanted to challenge this Human Bear Demon Beast and see if his Azure Dragon Force could contend with its strength.

Roar!

He swiftly channeled Spiritual Qi into his right arm, a red-glowing dragon head phantom extending from his elbow to his fist, firmly enveloping it!

Shen Wenxing stepped back, mobilizing all his strength, meeting the giant bear paw with a heavy punch!

Boom!

Splash!

Two completely asymmetrical arms collided!

A massive explosion erupted, with a large spray of blood spattering instantly!

The Human Bear Demon Beast let out a miserable shriek, instinctively swinging its other paw at Shen Wenxing!

Because Shen Wenxing had forcefully punched through the bear paw!

"Shi Tou, be careful!"

Seeing the other bear paw about to strike Shen Wenxing's back, Huang Qingzhou urgently shouted to warn him.

Yet Shen Wenxing didn't dodge, directly channeling the power of Qi Blood within him, allowing it to permeate between his back bones and flesh!

Bang!

The massive bear paw struck his back, its terrifying power directly shattering the stones beneath his feet!

Huang Qingzhou looked solemn, preparing to rush in and help, but suddenly noticed that through the dispersing snow mist, Shen Wenxing's body remained standing.

The Human Bear Demon Beast was also dumbfounded at this moment.

It clearly couldn't understand how the other party could remain unscathed after receiving this palm strike.

Having endured this attack, only his Qi Blood was shaken; Shen Wenxing gained a certain understanding of his physical strength.

Wei Qiuling said that Body Cultivation is a cultivation technique created by the ancient human race predecessors by observing fierce beasts, with the aim of training one's body to become as terrifying as a fierce beast.

Currently, the realm of this Human Bear Demon Beast was similar to his, and his ability to withstand the beast's strike proved that his body cultivation was quite decent.

After roughly gauging his physical strength, he didn't intend to waste time with this creature and directly punched towards the belly of the Human Bear Demon Beast!

The abdomen is generally the softest part of most creatures, and if the bear's paw of the Human Bear Demon Beast couldn't withstand his punch, then the belly was bound to be even weaker.

The force of the Azure Dragon Force pierced through the abdomen of the Human Bear Demon Beast, exiting through its spine from behind.

The Human Bear Demon Beast let out a miserable howl, its massive body staggered back a few steps, and then it crashed down with a thud.

Seeing the Demon Beast defeated, Huang Qingzhou and the other two rushed over.

Zhao Jinhua and Liu Fang, having witnessed the entire battle between Shen Wenxing and the Human Bear Demon Beast, now looked at him as if they were seeing a monster.

They had imagined countless scenarios of Shen Wenxing employing wit against the Human Bear Demon Beast before finally killing it.

Yet they never imagined a human could rely solely on fists to kill such a massive creature!

Is this really a human?

"Brother Jinhu, where did you find this creature?"

Shen Wenxing wiped the blood off his face, grabbed a handful of snow to clean his hands, and asked.

Zhao Jinhua snapped back to reality, looked around, and said, "In that cave over there."

"Old Liu and I saw this guy's footprints in the snow and set up a big beast trap at the cave entrance."

Shen Wenxing looked in the direction indicated and nodded slightly.

"Father-in-law, could you and Liu Fang find some people to move the body of this Demon Beast down the mountain?"

"Brother Jinhu, take me to see this creature's lair."

Pulling the spear from the rock, Shen Wenxing spoke up.

"Be careful," Huang Qingzhou warned before leaving with Liu Fang.

Zhao Jinhua led Shen Wenxing to the front of the cave where they ambushed the Human Bear Demon Beast. Seeing the already bent trap, Zhao Jinhua said, "It's right here!"

Shen Wenxing nodded, cautiously approaching the cave entrance, unable to help but cover his nose and mouth.

The cave emitted a strong fishy smell, making one nauseous.

Yet simultaneously, he sensed a trace of spiritual power within the intense odor!

"As expected!"

Upon seeing the Human Bear Demon Beast, he had thought this creature likely became a demon beast due to the spiritual qi revival or some other opportunity by chance.

The spiritual qi aura inside the cave now confirmed his hypothesis.

"Brother Jinhu, let's go in and take a look."

Hearing this, Zhao Jinhua hurriedly took out a fire starter from his pocket, blew on it, and followed Shen Wenxing into the depths of the cave.

The cave sloped downward, and after a short distance, Zhao Jinhua nearly tripped over something.

He illuminated the ground with his fire starter, turning pale with fright.

What tripped him was a human skull!

His fear stemmed not from the skull itself but from the densely packed layer of white bones underneath, of unknown thickness!

Some were human, and some were animal.

"How many killings has this creature committed?"

Zhao Jinhua murmured, quickly catching up with Shen Wenxing.

The two brothers fumbled around for a quarter of an hour and came upon a three-way intersection ahead.

Zhao Jinhua held up the fire starter, looked around, unsure of which way to go.

But this posed no problem for Shen Wenxing; he merely used his divine sense to sense briefly and determined that the aura of spiritual qi came from the left.

"This way."

Leading Zhao Jinhua further to the left, the cave soon narrowed.

"Is there no path forward?"

The light of the fire starter grew faint; Zhao Jinhua looked ahead and asked.

Without saying a word, Shen Wenxing reached out to feel the surrounding hard rock wall, then picked up a piece of bluish-gray stone from the ground.

"Brother Jinhu."

Zhao Jinhua walked over with the fire starter, curiously asked, "What is this thing?"

Shen Wenxing shook his head slightly; he didn't recognize it either.

He only felt a faint spiritual qi emanating from the bluish-gray stone.

Trying to squeeze it, he found the bluish-gray stone to be very hard.

"Could it be ore?"

Zhao Jinhua suddenly said, "I've seen people refining iron with a kind of red stone."

Ore?

Shen Wenxing studied the stone in his hand, contemplating.

If it's ore, it certainly wasn't ordinary ore; it's likely ore used for refining Immortal Magical Treasure.

"Brother Jinhu, hand me the fire starter."

Taking the fire starter from Zhao Jinhua, Shen Wenxing gently tossed it forward.

By the dim light of the fire starter, he saw numerous such bluish-gray ores in the narrow part of the cave.

Besides the ores, he vaguely noticed something resembling a Spirit Crystal!

Delighted inwardly, Shen Wenxing pocketed the bluish-gray ore, turned to Zhao Jinhua, and said, "Let's head back and don't tell anyone about this place."

Zhao Jinhua nodded in agreement.

The brothers groped their way out of the cave in the dark.

Returning to where Zhao Shuan and others were, learning that the Demon Beast's body had been transported down the mountain, Shen Wenxing greeted Huang Qingzhou and Zhao Shuan and left early.
