"What the hell, are we really playing for keeps?"

"I knew it! That bastard's a cold-hearted guy. No way he'd go out of his way to save me. With his strength, there's no way a wounded me can take him on—I need to get out of here fast..."

Alarmed, Fang Bao turned to run from the scene.

"Roar!!"

In the next moment, an icy chill filled the heavens and the earth as the Ice Dragon thundered toward him. Fang Bao's face turned pale.

"What the hell, what's with this move? It even locks onto targets?"

"Boom!!"

Before he could react, the ferocious Ice Dragon roared as it tore through the giant's chest. The energy light on the giant's chest began to flicker wildly.

"Ugh..."

Fang Bao groaned as the wound on his chest split open again, fresh blood pouring forth.

"Beep beep beep... beep!"

The energy light stopped flashing, and the giant's body crumbled noisily, disintegrating into countless light particles that scattered across the earth.

Seeing the giant vanish, Ning Xian's face lit up with joy.

But he didn't forget that the Sky Crystal Beast must not be exposed.

Turning away, he saw everyone staring, dumbfounded, in the direction where the giant had disappeared.

Suddenly, someone pointed at the Sky Crystal in Ning Xian's hand and exclaimed, "It's a Divine Weapon Beast! A Divine Weapon Sect's Divine Weapon Beast!"

"What? That's the Divine Weapon Beast?"

"Isn't the Divine Weapon Sect down to just their Sect Leader? How could there still be disciples?"

"That blue, horned Divine Weapon Beast looks no less impressive than the Sect Leader's Hu Po..."

"This is bad—look at that guy's gaze..."

"He's going to kill us to silence us!"

"Roar!!"

Before the words could finish hanging in the air, the Ice Dragon lunged from the blade once more, carrying with it a boundless wave of frosty ice as it swept toward the crowd.

"Hah, so what if it's a Divine Weapon Beast? Let's fight!"

"Kill him! The Divine Weapon Beast will be ours!"

"Kill!"

In an instant, everyone shifted their focus onto Ning Xian.

The Ice Dragon swirled through the mob. Those with weaker strength couldn't withstand the Extreme Cold Energy and turned into frozen statues one by one.

Yet still, dozens of powerful Spiritual Artifact Masters remained unfazed by the icy force, wielding primordial energy weapons as they charged at Ning Xian.

"Boy, how could you be so reckless? Now that I've been exposed, you won't be able to leave unscathed either!" the Sky Crystal chastised him.

Ning Xian's lips curled into a confident smile. "Divine Beast Lord, don't worry. They won't get away."

"Hum!!"

In the next moment, the blue Sky Crystal Sword quivered slightly, releasing an infinite green radiance, as a raging whirlwind enveloped Ning Xian. The Armor across his entire body transformed with the Sky Crystal Sword, glowing with a life-rich green hue.

"Boom..."

Within the whirlwind, an even more terrifying aura swept over the land.

Ning Xian felt the surging power within his body and was overjoyed. "Divine Beast Lord, this is..."

"Ha ha! Well done, boy! Congratulations on mastering the power of confidence!"

"The power of confidence?"

Ning Xian's heart shook dramatically. No wonder. It truly was the Ancient Divine Weapon Beast—it had the ability to unlock even stronger powers!

"Go forth, boy!"

"Yes, Divine Beast Lord!"

Ning Xian raised the glowing green Sky Crystal high above his head. Vast primordial energy surged outward as he roared, "Vortex Sky Crystal, power of confidence—Vortex Break!"

"Roar!!"

Dragon cries erupted. A green, roaring Divine Dragon burst forth, transforming into a terrifying green tornado that swept toward the crowd, tearing through mountains and obliterating an entire peak before crashing down forcefully on the gathered enemies.

"Ah..."

Screams echoed as the whirlwind dispersed, leaving behind a barren and desolate landscape.

Amid the cracks of shattered rocks, Fang Bao, gravely injured, stared blankly at the horrifying scene before him. His eyes widened, his face pale.

"What the hell, who is this kid?"

"Not good—I need to leave right now. This kid definitely has ill intentions toward me. If he catches me, I might die a brutal death..."

Just as he was about to activate the Earth Digging Mecha to escape, a familiar voice suddenly came from above his head.

"Heh, Fatty, still alive, huh?"

Fang Bao shuddered and jerked his head up, a glimmer of tears flashing in his eyes.
