Boom—

That Soul-Chasing Life-Taking move Jiang Xie unleashed struck the defensive barrier. Although it still couldn’t shake it, it produced a tremendous sound.

“What’s going on?”

“Such a huge commotion?”

“Let’s go, let’s go see!”

The Tiegu Sect disciples who weren’t sleeping surged toward the back mountain in groups and arrived at the location where the sound had just come from.

Gah.

In an instant, they were all dumbfounded.

Because their sect master was face down on the grass with his butt sticking up, with a large hole in his pants, revealing swollen red skin!

“Sect Master!”

The disciples cried out in alarm and rushed over.

“Don’t… don’t come over!”

Jun Changxiao said through gritted teeth: “This seat just needs to lie down for a bit!”

Relying on the Cloud Stepping technique, he had struggled to climb to the mountaintop, but his butt still got swept, and under the force of the impact, he flew directly into the array formation.

To be honest, it was a bit embarrassing.

But thanks to the energy wave, it allowed him to rapidly enter the array formation.

After resting a while, Jun Changxiao stood up covering his butt and said: “Just getting swept caused this much pain. If I’d been hit head-on, I’d definitely be either dead or seriously injured.”

The system said: “This is the formidability of a Wuwang.”

“Damn it!”

Jun Changxiao’s gaze flashed with fury as he said: “I must find a way to play that guy to death!”

Getting hit on the butt and having the disciples see it—how humiliating and disgraceful! He must get revenge!

Right at this moment, Little Dragon came dashing over from the distance. Seeing its master’s swollen butt, its gaze immediately filled with rage.

“Roar!”

The little creature roared loudly, and scorching flames immediately erupted from its entire body.

Its master was hit.

As a contracted beast, it definitely couldn’t tolerate this!

The angrier Little Dragon became, the more the flames it spewed spread to two or three meters.

Jun Changxiao could sense it was very angry and comforted it: “Don’t worry, when master becomes stronger, I’ll personally go viciously beat him up.”

“Master.”

Suddenly, a childish voice came from within the flames: “I’ll go beat him up right now!”

Gah.

Jun Changxiao was dumbfounded.

The disciples’ eyeballs nearly popped out!

A voice came from within the flames—could it be Little Dragon… was… talking?

This couldn’t be possible!!

“Step!”

Suddenly, from within the scorching flames, a figure about one meter tall walked out. Although completely naked, a tuft of flames just happened to cover the crucial area below.

From its form, this looked very much like an eight or nine-year-old child.

But the muscles on its arms, chest, abs, and even legs were extremely developed—clearly a fitness fanatic!

This ‘person’s’ skin was crimson red, like burning charcoal.

So then.

Why put quotation marks around ‘person’?

Because although it had a human body, it had a goat’s head with two slightly curved horns on top!

Even more outrageous.

Behind its butt was a thick, long tail with a tuft of flames burning wildly at the end!

This wasn’t human.

This was a monster!

Jun Changxiao and the disciples were all stunned like wooden chickens.

Right at this moment, the scorching flames behind began to retract inward and soon disappeared without a trace.

Jun Changxiao didn’t see his contracted beast, so his mouth twitched violently as he said: “You… you’re Little Dragon?”

“Yes.”

The fiery red monster said in a childish voice: “Master.”

“…”

Jun Changxiao nearly lost his balance and toppled over.

His contracted beast had actually turned into a humanoid monster and could even speak!

Was… this a dream!

“Master.”

Little Dragon said: “This is my battle form after evolution, called Dragon-Human Transformation.”

Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched as he said: “Looking at the head, it doesn’t look like a dragon-human at all, but more like a goat-human!”

Little Dragon said: “I need to evolve several more times before I can achieve true Dragon-Human Transformation.”

The system said: “Host, this fierce beast you hatched has mutated. If I’m not mistaken, it should be a phantom beast!”

So-called phantom beasts emphasized the word ‘phantom.’

For example, Wild Boar Peppa looked like it had no combat ability, but could transform into fierce beasts and produce powerful sonic waves to intimidate opponents.

From Little Dragon mentioning its first battle form, the system determined this must be phantom transformation, thereby achieving humanoid form!

Jun Changxiao said: “Little Dragon, are you a phantom beast?”

Phantom beast?

The disciples, upon hearing this, suddenly had a realization.

If it was a phantom beast, transforming from fierce beast form to human form didn’t seem too unusual.

Little Dragon said: “My battle form can only last for fifteen minutes, so I must hurry and resolve that guy who hurt master.”

Jun Changxiao said gravely: “The one who injured me is a Wuwang.”

Little Dragon’s gaze flashed with humanized disdain as it said: “As long as it’s not a peak Wuwang, I can beat him until he has no will to live.”

“Really?” Jun Changxiao said.

“Master.”

Little Dragon said proudly: “Do you want him alive or as a corpse?”

Seeing it so arrogantly confident, Jun Changxiao said: “If you can beat him up, first beat him half to death, then carry him back for me!”

“Alrighty.”

Little Dragon charged in arrow-like steps toward the outer array formation, with a tuft of flames constantly covering its crucial lower area.

“Don’t go!”

Jun Changxiao hastily said: “Ahead is…”

“Ahhh!”

The cry of falling off a cliff immediately echoed in the sky above.

Jun Changxiao: “…”

The disciples: “…”

Is this contracted beast of mine reliable or not!

…

“Step.”

After several leaps, Jiang Xie landed smoothly on the ground, a cold smile curling at his lips.

Boy.

That Soul-Chasing Life-Taking strike I just made carried a force of three million catties. Even if it only hit your butt, you’re definitely either dead or seriously injured!

Jiang Xie had great confidence in his own strength and absolutely didn’t believe a Second Rank Wuzong could withstand it.

In fact, Jun Changxiao’s physical body, after over a year of tempering, had already become quite strong, and since it was just a glancing blow, he only suffered light injuries.

“Clap.”

Jiang Xie clapped his hands and said: “When the Grand Helmsman sends an array formation master to break through the defensive array, this king can easily wipe out the Tiegu Sect.”

“Kekeke!”

He covered his face, releasing a strange laugh: “Everything is within this king’s control!”

“Ahhh—”

Suddenly, a child’s scream came from above.

“Boom!”

Five meters away, something immediately crashed down and kissed the earth, raising a cloud of dust.

The strangely laughing Jiang Xie got a fright.

As the dust scattered, a ‘person’-shaped crater appeared in the ground.

Jiang Xie’s mouth twitched as he said: “Did someone who couldn’t think straight jump off the cliff to commit suicide?”

His spiritual sense merged into the crater, perceiving everything inside, and he immediately said in astonishment: “Is this actually a person or a fierce beast?”

Truly worthy of being a Wuwang-level expert!

Seeing that human-like, monster-like existence so suddenly, he was only slightly surprised and didn’t feel any terror at all.

“Smack!”

Little Dragon put one hand on the ground and awkwardly climbed out of the crater.

“Detestable!”

It brushed the dust off its body, clutching its goat forehead, and said in despair: “Using battle form for the first time, I actually did something this humiliating.”

“Hey.”

Jiang Xie said: “Are you actually human or a demon-human?”

“Swish!”

Suddenly, Little Dragon appeared before him, fury flashing in its fiery red gaze as it said: “I’m a dragon-human.”

“Such fast speed!”

Jiang Xie’s expression changed, and he instinctively tried to dodge!

Too late!

Little Dragon’s seemingly tender little fist had already viciously struck his chest.

Jiang Xie could perceive it in advance through spiritual sense, but simply had no time to evade—he couldn’t even manage to block with both arms!

Bang!

A visible energy wave suddenly expanded behind Jiang Xie, and he was blasted away, crashing into the mountain wall.

“Swish!”

Little Dragon charged forward in arrow-like steps, its crimson arms wildly swinging, unleashing a rainstorm of pear blossom-like bombardment.

“You hurt my master—I’ll make you wish you were dead!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dust filled the air, rubble flew everywhere!

The mountain wall, bearing the force of the bombardment, rapidly fractured, spreading upward like a spider web.

Two words: brutal!

Four words: extremely brutal!
