CHAPTER 1168: CHAPTER 1167: THE POWER OF THE BEAR FI

The iron claws of the Mountain Owl descended, but in a flash of lightning, the cumbersome body of the Bear suddenly became flexible. As if knowing that the Mountain Owl would attack the back of its head, it deftly flipped over, bringing its palms together to catch the wings of the Mountain Owl, which came at it willingly...

Amidst the Mountain Owl’s terrified scream, its wings exerted force. In an instant, the absolute power belonging to the Mountain Demon was displayed, tearing the Mountain Owl in two in mid-air, and then it opened its mouth wide, swallowing it whole, with blood spilling from the corners of its mouth, yet it seemed quite pleased.

This scene immediately turned the tide for the Mountain Demon, drawing huge cheers from the Demon Tribe, while the Winged Demon and Sea Clan fell silent.

At that moment, the sea demon horde truly realized the formidable power of the Mountain Demon. Of course, each had their own strengths, heavily influenced by the environment. In a place like the desert, the Mountain Demon had a significant advantage over the Sea Wing Clan that lived at sea.

The tactics were also questionable. If it weren’t for such an impassioned environment, the Mountain Owl naturally stood no chance against the Bear’s tough skin, but how could the Bear catch the swift Mountain Owl?

Using one’s weaknesses to attack the opponent’s strengths was the Mountain Owl’s path to death; but for the Demon Clan, once their blood was up, who cared about such things?

"This is the biggest difference between ancient Holy Beasts and ordinary demon clans. If they can’t control their emotions, their achievements are ultimately limited," Nineteen Aunt sneered with disdain.

As a fellow winged creature, she was speechless at the Mountain Owl’s stupidity.

"Should I step in now?"

Hou Niao shook his head, "No, don’t act too frequently, wait a few more rounds; Nineteen Aunt, you’re here to fan the flames, not to steal the spotlight. Hold steady, let the Bear win a few more rounds, and naturally, it will come to you, no need to step in proactively."

With the conflict, it was already clear who stood where. The sea arrivals were united, and the Tianjin Ocean Sea Clan and West Sea Winged Clan were united against a common foe, while Yuan Yi and Yaoguang Mountain Demons stood together. This geographical division was only natural.

The undead creatures were highest in number, but as hosts, they remained neutral. No undead creatures had stepped in yet, but from the cheering targets, it was clear they stood with the Mountain Demon. In the last human-demon war, they had fought to the death and suffered great losses, so naturally, they held the cunning sea demon clan in disdain.

On Minggu Mountain, the old demon clan monsters and Outer Space fierce demons ignored the external scuffle; to a group of tens of thousands of demon beasts, losing two monsters was negligible.

Especially the Outer Space fierce demons and Mountain Demon Great Demons supported in secret, as they still awaited resolution on the matters they discussed, needing the young ones outside to build momentum, kill some Sea Clan and Winged Clan to boost morale.

Having strong fists allows one to speak, otherwise, negotiation is difficult.

In this vast environment, the conflict could only escalate. The Mountain Owl’s death ignited the Winged Demons’ fury. Even though the Mountain Owl was unfamiliar to most of them, the Winged Clan’s pride and cruelty shone through. They wouldn’t meddle in the Continent’s affairs out of fear, simply out of reluctance. In terms of combat instincts, their courage was on par, if not more brutal, than any demon clan, always seeking revenge.

A grey-faced Hawk darted out, not for Mountain Owl’s revenge, but for the Winged Clan’s pride; its power might not surpass Mountain Owl’s, but in such a spirited time, considerations were trivial.

The Bear maintained its old posture, maintaining its burdened defense. Whatever means the grey-faced Hawk deployed, it couldn’t pierce its ultimate tough skin, rendering all futile.

Its clumsiness was but a facade, its nape weakness had snared many foes, including demons and humans. But it’s a trap, possessing a unique Divine Skill called Airspace Bear Roar, which temporarily hinders spatial Instantaneous Movement. Should the opponent attack its rear, its roar creates a gap during teleportation, allowing it to seize the moment...

The Bear constantly roared, others mistaking it for its battle habit, befitting a Bear. Yet its incessant roaring in combat was to conceal its Divine Skill. Since attaining this Skill, it never lost, having turned its weakness into a trap.

The crude demon beasts couldn’t discern this secret in such a chaotic environment, but human cultivators were different, especially the suspenseful Daoists. Tan Xiao chuckled,

"This old Bear is cunning, truly a Bear cannot be judged by its looks. Nineteen Aunt, don’t fall for its trick..."

Nineteen Aunt scoffed, "Ridiculous, I won’t fall into a ditch, it’s just a low-level trick, relying on size and strength, its means aren’t necessarily terrific."

Her hard words belied the fact that her battle experience was inferior to the two humans who chauffeured her. Without Tan Xiao’s reminder, she might not consider it.

Yet her stubbornness acknowledged her limited capability, although a noble ancient Holy Beast, she was just in the nascent Golden Core state. Many innate Divine Skills were unread, not having the right Method for such a meat shield as the Bear.

"Hou Niao, if I step up, how should I kill it?"

Hou Niao chuckled, "Do you need to ask? Set it on fire! This Bear has a body full of fat and pine oil, using fire would do justice to it, right?"

Nineteen Aunt worried, "My True Fire isn’t very powerful..."

Hou Niao was speechless, "Find a Daoist, a Daoist is an expert at setting fires...Tan Xiao, don’t play dead, it’s your time to shine."

Tan Xiao chuckled, "Nineteen Aunt, I can’t directly ignite, but I can provide some items for fire initiation, like Lian White Fire, Three Yang True Fire, Mysterious Yin Fire, Refining Furnace Treasure Fire..."

Nineteen Aunt spat, "You appear upright, like a gentleman, yet you carry such vile things?"

Tan Xiao, "..."

...The scene shifted as the grey-faced Hawk refrained from attacking the Bear’s nape, instead targeting a tuft of white fur on its chest. Despite using multiple Divine Skills, it couldn’t do any harm; instead, it is caught by the Bear by its tail feathers. If not for swiftly abandoning its tail feathers, it might’ve faced the same plight as the Mountain Owl.

Even so, it suffered heavy losses, unable to fight further.

Demon clan battles never leave a dull moment. As soon as the grey-faced Hawk withdrew, an eight-armed Sea Monster leaped out, with evident confidence in its form.
