Even so, his figure erupted forward. His Tenth Realm spiritual energy transformed into a sky full of golden light as he collided violently with the mid stage Tenth Realm deep-blue ice beast.
In an instant, the entire underground cavern shook violently, and countless icicles rained down like hailstones.
It was an incredibly grueling battle.
The ice beast possessed thick hide and flesh, and it held the geographical advantage. Although Pang Lie's cultivation was a cut above its own, slaying it in a short amount of time would prove extremely difficult.
At the edge of the cavern, Jiang Yunsheng lightly swayed his folding fan, looking completely at ease.
Turning around, he smiled at Su Yueli and Han Yu, initiating a conversation. “Miss Su, the extreme cold of this abyss is harmful to the body if one stays too long. Once we retrieve the herb, why don't you accompany this prince to the Great Qian Imperial City for a visit?”
“My imperial treasury houses many rare treasures perfectly suited for a martial artist to regulate their blood qi.”
As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Su Yueli's stunning, flawless profile, carrying a hint of self-assured pride, as if she were already his.
Standing to the side, Han Yu was somewhat speechless.
His own guard was fighting for his life up front, yet this Crown Prince actually had the mind to try and pick up women here?
Su Yueli pursed her lips, just about to decline.
Boom!
A massive explosion suddenly erupted.
Pang Lie spat out a large mouthful of blood and flew backward like a kite with its string cut, whistling right over the heads of Jiang Yunsheng and the others before crashing heavily into the ice wall behind them.
But in the next instant, Pang Lie let out a furious roar, transforming once again into a streak of golden light to rush back into the fray, locking in a fierce grapple with the demon beast.
Su Yueli's lips twitched slightly. She glanced sideways at Jiang Yunsheng. “Your Highness, do you really not need to help him?”
Adjusting his collar, Jiang Yunsheng forced himself to remain calm and said, “Rest assured, Miss Su. It is merely a Tenth Realm demon beast. Commander Pang will soon have it subdued...”
Before he could finish his sentence, Su Yueli tilted her head slightly.
Looking past his shoulder, her eyes narrowed slightly as she interrupted him. “There are two of them, you know.”
Jiang Yunsheng froze. “What?”
Su Yueli pointed toward the shadows. “And... your guard seems a bit dead.”
“Roar—!”
A roar several times more terrifying than the last suddenly exploded from a fissure in the ground!
A monstrous, terrifying pressure comparable to an Eleventh Realm grand cultivator instantly swept through the entire cavern!
The ice layer above collapsed with a resounding crash, and another, even more colossal male ice beast charged out of thin air!
This was actually a pair of twin demon beasts! The newly arrived male beast's strength had shockingly reached the terrifying Eleventh Realm!
Already tangled and unable to break free from the Tenth Realm female beast, Pang Lie was struck squarely in the chest by a paw from the Eleventh Realm male. His protective spiritual light shattered instantly. With half his body a bloody mess, he crashed heavily right at Jiang Yunsheng's feet.
Pang Lie's face was ashen. He shrieked with what little strength he had left, “Your Highness, run! It's an Eleventh Realm great demon! I can't hold it back!”
The folding fan in Jiang Yunsheng's hand slipped and clattered to the ground.
His face turned deathly pale in an instant, and he stood frozen to the spot.
The Eleventh Realm?!
Even in the entire Great Qian, Eleventh Realm powerhouses were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!
He hadn't brought any consecrated experts with him today. They were dead!
“Roar!”
The Tenth Realm female beast roared and lunged forward, its bloody maw snapping straight for Pang Lie's head. It was about to swallow this peak Tenth Realm guard alive on the spot!
In this moment of extreme peril, a cool, blue-robed figure slowly stepped in front of Pang Lie.
Su Yueli's expression was calm as she slowly clenched her fingers into a fist.
There was not a single ripple of spiritual energy around her. Only an incredibly pure blood qi quietly surged within her body.
“Ji Dao Fist Technique, Third Style.”
Her cool voice echoed.
“City Destroyer!”
The moment the words left her mouth, Su Yueli unleashed a punch!
There was no flashy light, only ultimate speed and power!
Boom—!
As the punch struck, the air in front of her was instantly blasted into a complete vacuum!
The Tenth Realm female beast, still mid-lunge, exploded from head to tail, showering the ground with shredded flesh and blue blood!
A single punch had instantly killed a Tenth Realm demon beast!
Pang Lie, who had closed his eyes to await death, snapped them open. He stared blankly at the slender, elegant back before him.
His mind went completely blank, entirely stripped of the ability to think.
“Roar!”
The brutal death of its mate instantly drove the Eleventh Realm male beast into a frenzy!
It began to channel the extreme cold fiend energy of the entire Ice Soul Abyss, pouring it down toward Su Yueli in an overwhelming deluge!
Su Yueli narrowed her eyes and raised her hand for another punch!
“City Destroyer!”
The second punch exploded with force, transforming into an invisible wave of energy. It pushed directly through the overwhelming icy fiend energy and slammed heavily into the chest of the Eleventh Realm male beast!
Bang!
The massive Eleventh Realm beast was sent flying back hundreds of feet by the punch. It crashed through countless hard ice walls, its chest caving in to reveal a massive, bloody hole as it sprayed blood from its mouth.
“Oh?”
Su Yueli raised her eyebrows, slightly surprised. “You didn't die?”
Had this punch landed on an Eleventh Realm cultivator, they would likely be half-dead by now.
It had to be said that once a demon beast reached the Eleventh Realm, its physical defense was indeed incredibly formidable.
Seeing the beast struggling to stand back up, Su Yueli stopped holding back. She took a step forward, appearing out of thin air directly above the male beast's head.
“Fourth Style, River Blocker.”
An even more majestic and violent martial intent pressed down like the collapsing sky as she slammed her fist hard against the center of the beast's forehead!
Rumble!
The force of this punch was like severing a rushing river!
The massive body of the Eleventh Realm male beast shuddered violently. The light in its eyes vanished instantly, and it collapsed like a falling mountain, completely devoid of life.
Su Yueli floated gracefully back to the ground.
She reached out and, with a sharp snap, broke off the crystal-clear extreme cold horn from the male beast's forehead.
Carrying the horn, she walked back to Jiang Yunsheng and tossed it into his arms as he sat there in a daze.
“Take it. Thanks for showing the way,” Su Yueli said in a flat tone.
Holding the still-warm Eleventh Realm demon beast horn, Jiang Yunsheng was utterly bewildered.
He slowly raised his head, staring at the blue-robed beauty before him whom he had dismissed as a "mortal woman." He couldn't utter a single word.
A terrifying Eleventh Realm demon beast had been slaughtered like a chicken or a duck, beaten to death with just a few casual punches and kicks?
Was this even reasonable...
Lying in a pool of blood nearby, Pang Lie's face was filled with sheer terror. He struggled to scramble to his feet and bowed deeply to Su Yueli, his voice trembling. “Th-Thank you, Senior, for saving my life!”
Fear lingered in his heart. When he recalled how he had flaunted his Tenth Realm cultivation and showed off his immortal methods in front of her earlier, his face burned with intense embarrassment.
At the very back, Han Yu had gone completely numb.
Her mouth hung wide open, her face a mask of utter disbelief.
The Eleventh Realm!
That was a terrifying great demon comparable to an Eleventh Realm immortal!
Her master hadn't used a single immortal spell. Relying solely on the fists of a mortal martial artist, she had blown apart an Eleventh Realm great demon with just three punches?!
At this moment, Han Yu's entire worldview was completely overturned.
She had originally thought that cultivators reigned supreme while martial artists were left at their mercy. But seeing her master's world-destroying fist technique today, a tempestuous wave surged in her heart!
So... when the martial path was cultivated to its peak, one truly could slay high-level immortals with a single punch!
Just how high was her master's strength? What unimaginable realm had she reached!
Han Yu clenched her small fists. Staring at Su Yueli's back, an unprecedented fervor and longing erupted in her eyes.
One day, she would become just like Su Yueli!
