CHAPTER 424: CHAPTER 371: SLAYING THE BEAR KING

"Lei Yao, take action. Don’t let the Wind Snow Giant Bear King get close to the battlefield," Chu Chen ordered solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Lei Yao’s eyes couldn’t suppress the battle lust any longer. It let out an excited roar and charged towards the Wind Snow Giant Bear King with a sudden burst of energy.

Chu Chen, not daring to be careless, immediately applied several soul skills to Lei Yao.

Lei Yao had to use its trump card to contend with the Wind Snow Giant Bear King, but the trump card was time-limited and couldn’t be easily used prematurely.

The Wind Snow Giant Bear King felt Lei Yao’s battle intent and was successfully provoked. As the Master of the Secret Realm, it mercilessly slaughtered any who dared to challenge it.

The Wind Snow Giant Bear King charged across the icefield, causing the ground to tremble violently. The beast groups still fighting scattered at once, fearing collateral damage.

Under Chu Chen’s command, Nirvana also immediately directed the Undead Army to avoid the threat.

Lei Yao didn’t dare underestimate its opponent; with a wave of its hand, it grabbed the Ruyi Stick, its gaze almost materializing into a battle aura.

Although the Wind Snow Giant Bear King appeared clumsy, its speed was not slow at all. With several leaps, it crossed the battlefield and arrived in front of Lei Yao.

Without a moment’s hesitation, it raised its bear paw to strike at Lei Yao.

Lei Yao didn’t dodge but instead lifted the Ruyi Stick to hit back.

"Bang"

The bear paw directly slapped against the Ruyi Stick. Lei Yao felt an immense force, splitting its palm, and sent the Ruyi Stick flying away.

Lei Yao twisted to evade, then powered its legs to retreat several yards, shaking its slightly numb arm. Its gaze became more determined.

The Wind Snow Giant Bear King was enraged, witnessing Lei Yao’s inability to withstand its blow yet still daring to show battle intent—it was courting death.

The Wind Snow Giant Bear King roared, its limbs surged again towards Lei Yao.

Lei Yao didn’t respond immediately but turned to charge for the Ruyi Stick.

The previous attack was merely Lei Yao testing the Wind Snow Giant Bear King’s strength.

Realizing the disparity in power, Lei Yao knew better than to collide head-on.

Lei Yao leaped swiftly to the Ruyi Stick, grasping it with one hand, and sucked it into its palm.

At this moment, the Wind Snow Giant Bear King charged over, raising its bear paw to smash Lei Yao’s head.

Feeling the wind behind its head, Lei Yao pivoted on its right foot, swinging its body to the right, using the momentum to slam the Ruyi Stick towards the Wind Snow Giant Bear King’s head.

Lei Yao’s movements were akin to human combat styles, catching the Wind Snow Giant Bear King by surprise.

The bear paw missed, but the Ruyi Stick smashed directly into its face. A crisp "crack" sounded, its bear nose collapsed, leaving a clear stick mark.

The Wind Snow Giant Bear King clutched its nose in pain, tears streaming out uncontrollably as it retreated, howling in agony.

Lei Yao wouldn’t miss such an opportunity, with the stick poised like a dragon, aiming for the Wind Snow Giant Bear King’s throat.

Sensing danger, the Wind Snow Giant Bear King thrust its bear paws outward, its whole body’s aura erupting, rapidly covering itself with a thick layer of Ice Armor.

Seeing this, Lei Yao withdrew its attack, twisting to the side of the Wind Snow Giant Bear King, its arm emitting a burst of intertwined lightning and blood light onto the Ruyi Stick.

Lei Yao raised the stick to the Wind Snow Giant Bear King’s side, striking with extreme speed, catching the opponent unprepared.

A "crack" was heard, and the Ice Armor shattered.

This strike, seemingly not powerful, was deceptive; it used the Inch Force, concentrating power at one point, achieving a point-breaking effect.

The Wind Snow Giant Bear King felt its Ice Armor shatter, changing its expression drastically, no longer daring to be reckless.

The bear paw flung, sending the Ruyi Stick flying, followed by a low growl as a dense wind element converged towards it.

Encased in wind element, its speed doubled instantly.

In a flash, it disappeared from sight, reappearing before Lei Yao again, swinging its bear paw to strike Lei Yao flying.

Before Lei Yao landed, the Wind Snow Giant Bear King flickered beside it, swinging the bear paw again to knock it flying.

Lei Yao became like a ball, being slapped back and forth by the Wind Snow Giant Bear King.

Blood flowed incessantly from Lei Yao’s mouth and nose. The Wind Snow Giant Bear King’s attacks were terrifying, each strike comparable to an early-stage King Level Star Beast’s full power blow.

Such horrific assaults couldn’t be endured many times by Lei Yao, who fought against the immense pain, fiercely wielding the Ruyi Stick as arcs of lightning flickered.

The Wind Snow Giant Bear King ceased its attack, retreating in a blur, wary of the Thunder Element’s paralyzing properties, unwilling to slip up. The opponent was heavily injured; a steady approach would ensure easy defeat.

Lei Yao fell heavily to the ground, the strong inertia causing it to slide over ten yards, stabbing the Ruyi Stick deeply into the ground, using its right arm’s power to slowly rise despite its injuries.

At that moment, Lei Yao appeared rather battered, its body lacerated with numerous wounds of varying depth; even the shallowest was a foot deep, while the deepest reached the bone. Blood lingered on its mouth and nose, indicating significant internal injuries.
