The giant bear lunged at Ling Tian once more. This time, Ling Tian charged directly towards the bear, Baiers. As the man and bear were about to collide, Ling Tian pushed off the ground with his feet, spinning his body like a top to evade the bear's attack.
Immediately after, Ling Tian pushed off the ground again, his body soaring two to three meters into the air. He then thrust his long sword directly towards the back of the giant bear's neck.
In that instant, Ling Tian poured all his fire-attribute true essence into the Scarlet Flame Treasure Sword in his hand. In a flash, the sword's body lit up, much like a steel bar glowing red-hot in a blast furnace at a steel mill.
If someone were to measure the sword's surface temperature at that moment, they would be astonished to find it reaching nearly three thousand degrees Celsius.
The scorching Scarlet Flame Treasure Sword, like a red-hot butter knife slicing through butter, was incredibly smooth.
Although Baiers possessed formidable defense, its fur and skin were composed of protein and fat. Regardless of its density or the tightness of its structure, these materials were not fireproof.
The over two thousand degrees Celsius heat from the Scarlet Flame Treasure Sword directly scorched everything it touched, filling the surrounding air with the aroma of roasted meat and the smell of burning fur.
Baiers let out a roar of pain, but Ling Tian's hand did not falter. He instantly released the fire-attribute true essence concentrated on the Scarlet Flame Treasure Sword. Then, he kicked Baiers's back, withdrew the Scarlet Flame Treasure Sword, and landed steadily on the ground.
The next moment, Baiers crashed to the ground, leaving behind only a corpse.
Some in the watching crowd were confused. Baiers was a top-tier beast-man.
Beast-men were categorized into many levels, with those whose transformed bodies more closely resembled their beastly forms being considered higher-level and possessing greater combat power.
Baiers, who transformed completely into a giant bear, represented the peak of combat strength among beast-men.
These top-tier beast-men possessed incredibly tenacious vitality and exceptional resilience. Even if their bodies were pierced by a weapon, they would struggle for a long time before dying.
Ling Tian's sword strike earlier had penetrated the giant bear's body, but it didn't appear to have hit a vital spot like the heart.
Yet, for some reason, Baiers had died so decisively.
Little did they know that Ling Tian had released the fire-attribute true essence from his sword. A large volume of high-temperature gas rapidly permeated Baiers's body, causing its blood to boil and its internal organs to be cooked by the heat within seconds. It was no wonder it died!
Ling Tian, holding the Scarlet Flame Treasure Sword, quietly watched the battle between A Li and the Wolf brothers. The people from the Dark Altar watched Ling Tian from a distance, none daring to approach such a monstrous opponent.
Meanwhile, the battle between A Li and the Wolf brothers was even more intense, even chaotic.
The Wolf brothers were also beast-men, but they transformed into bipedal werewolves. Their attack posture resembled that of a lunging great wolf.
Their speed far surpassed that of the giant bear Baiers, and their strength and agility were astonishing. Their pair of sharp claws could eviscerate A Li with a single swipe.
Moreover, the brothers frequently fought together, their coordination exceptionally默契. They didn't even need to exchange glances to know what the other was thinking.
An ordinary person would likely have been torn to shreds by the brothers long ago. However, they were not facing an ordinary person, but a millennium-old cat demon.
Back when A Li lived in the forest with its first master, it often fought with the wolves in the mountains. A Li was very familiar with the attack methods of werewolves.
Furthermore, A Li's speed was more than enough to overwhelm the brothers.
Although the Wolf brothers were also tough, their fur and muscles provided them with strong resistance to damage. However, A Li's claw blades were crafted by Ling Tian using many precious metal materials and forged by skilled artisans in the Spiritual Realm.
As A Li weaved and dodged, it continuously struck, leaving bloody gashes on the Wolf brothers with its claw blades.
The blood further enraged the wolf brothers. Their speed increased, and their attacks became more ferocious, but they still couldn't even touch A Li.
The nearby screams of Baiers and its fallen corpse further agitated the brothers. They became like famished wolves, driven by hunger and devoid of reason.
When hungry, wolves would even dare to attack creatures stronger than themselves. Even if it meant death, it was better than starving. Some wolves, when starving, would even gnaw on their own hind legs for sustenance, though this would hasten their demise.
Queen Bis, who was observing from the side, felt the battle was not going in their favor. She chanted a spell, and four orbs of light appeared from her hands.
Two of these orbs were black, and the other two were dark green.
Although engaged in combat, A Li always kept an eye on its surroundings. It immediately noticed the four orbs of light. The fate of the beasts from earlier was still fresh in its mind. Thus, A Li ducked and darted away, quickly creating distance from the Wolf brothers.
The four orbs of light soon arrived. Two dark green orbs struck the Wolf brothers, while the two black orbs flew directly towards A Li.
A Li raised its hand and shot out a Bursting Fire Talisman, which hit one of the orbs. It immediately exploded, and the massive flames engulfed the other black orb as well.
Thanks to the presence of the realm spirit, Ling Tian's Spiritual Realm had produced a large number of talismans during peacetime. He had distributed these talismans to those around him, and A Li's pet space contained hundreds of them.
Talismans were valuable items. By simply injecting a small amount of energy to activate the formations on them, a significant amount of energy was saved, greatly enhancing combat endurance.
As for the Wolf brothers, after being hit by the two dark green orbs, they seemed to be bathed in vitality. Their bodies felt infused with energy, their muscles even expanded slightly, and the wounds they sustained during the battle began to heal at a visible rate!
