"Everyone, stop holding back, and save me the trouble of living too long." Fang Chuge, who had not said a word all along, said in a low voice.

Jin Yun Shan nodded, Long Xiaoyun hesitated a little and said, "Feng Wuchi and Lu Yutong have agreed to fight this beast with us, how about we wait for a while longer?"

"Alright, let's do as Brother Fang says," Long Xiaoyun thought about it for a while and felt that what he said made sense.

She then thought of Lan Caidie, who was initially a carefree princess of a noble family, suddenly turned into a lonely little girl.

He wondered how she was doing now. Was she desperately cultivating somewhere?

Just as Ye Yang's thoughts were drifting about, a deafening roar pulled his attention to the front of his eyes.

After the three revealed their true strength, the real battle started. Long Xiaoyun's weapon had cut through Black Bear's body, and a few drops of blood dripped down along his weapon.

"Great!" Seeing that Long Xiaoyun had actually broken through the Black Bear's defense, their morale was immediately boosted and they all cheered.

The black bear was injured and immediately became angry. It waved its huge palm and smacked it down at Long Xiaoyun, but Long Xiaoyun didn't dare to take it head-on and dodged to the side.

At this time, Fang Chuge had already taken out a huge weapon. Ye Yang took a closer look and saw that it was an axe the size of a tabletop.

The axe was almost a foot thick, and its surface was glowing with a dark glow. It turned into a black ray of light and chopped down at the bear's huge paw.

"Boom!"

A loud sound rang out, and even Ye Yang, who was hiding in the distance, felt the ground tremble.

Ye Yang's eyes immediately lit up. This was the first time he saw someone with such power other than himself.

After the Qi scattered in all directions, everyone realized that the black bear, which had always been unable to be shaken, had actually been knocked back twenty feet.

Everyone was stunned, the disciples of Cloud Returning Cave revealed looks of fanaticism.

Jin Yunshan, who had been waiting at the side for a long time, took advantage of Black Bear's sudden explosive retreat and turned into a stream of light, heavily chopping Black Bear's head.

Puff.

A two-foot long wound appeared on the bear's head as a blood-red light stream emerged. The bear raised its head and roared out in pain.

Seeing that, Mu Yuqing said with a face full of worry: "How about we make our move too, if they defeat Black Bear, and then snatch the Mysterious Casting Fruit, that would not be good."

Mu Yuqing was a kind-hearted person, she would never do something like killing people to steal their treasures, so she started to become anxious.

Ye Yang patted Mu Yuqing's shoulders to comfort her. "Don't worry, it's not that simple."

As expected, just as Ye Yang finished speaking, Black Bear let out a furious roar that shook the sky. The nearby people's eardrums started to vibrate and fresh blood flowed out from their ears. They were almost knocked out.

Everyone was startled and quickly took a few steps back. After the black bear's angry roar, it suddenly shot up to a height of 200 feet.

As it grew in size, the tyrannical pressure of a Class 5 Magical Beast began to spread out in all directions like a tidal wave.

Everyone was shaken. All of their faces were pale, and their hearts were beating wildly.

"It's a Class 5 Magical Beast!"

"So it hadn't used its full strength in the beginning as well!" Everyone grumbled inwardly.

Ye Yang calmly looked at Black Bear as a faint smile appeared in his eyes. This was the only logical explanation.

Mu Yuqing and Feng Qinger immediately admired Ye Yang's judgement as they tightly embraced him. Ye Yang almost fainted from the happiness.

However, compared to Ye Yang's bliss, the emotions of Fang Chuge and the other two could only be described as bitter.

He had originally seen hope, but now that hope had been shattered, it had turned into despair.

If this was in the outside world, they would definitely be able to kill a Class 5 Magical Beast.

It was a pity that this place was not the outside world. Every single magical beast was ridiculously tyrannical. The tyrannical aura that this magical beast gave off indicated that it had already reached the peak of the fifth step.

The three of them struggled, Fang Chuge clenched his teeth and said, "The three of us will work together to delay this beast and let the other disciples snatch the Cast Spirit Fruit, whether we can obtain it will depend on our luck."

The other two nodded, and the three rushed towards Black Bear.

Black Bear saw the three of them rushing towards him, as if he wanted to return the humiliation he had just suffered to them.

After a furious roar, he stood up and brought his palms together. Suddenly, a vast force condensed in his palm and smashed towards the three people.

The three of them were shocked, but they were not willing to back off like this. They attacked with their full strength.

"Boom!"

With an explosive sound, the three of them were sent flying by the impact of the black bear's strike. A deep crater that was over a hundred feet deep was formed on the ground.

The three of them simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood. Their internal organs felt like they had been turned upside down, and they felt extremely sad.

Fang Chuge wiped away the blood on the corner of his mouth, forcefully suppressing his injuries, he said.

A trace of viciousness flashed across the two men's eyes, and their faces flashed with an unhealthy flush. The aura emanating from their bodies once again surged; they were approaching the peak of the Martial General Realm.

Clearly, the two of them used a secret technique to forcefully increase their strength. However, this method would cause some damage to themselves.

Seeing the two of them like that, Fang Chuge clenched his teeth, and shouted "Beast Form".

Fang Chuge's body instantly grew by more than two feet, the muscles on his body started to swell, the veins on his entire body bulged, his hair slowly turned fluffy, his mouth started to turn sharp, and his teeth also rose along with him.

In just a breath of time, Fang Chuge looked like a gorilla, the muscles all over his body bulged, as though he possessed limitless power.

When Ye Yang saw this, he was shocked in his heart. This Fang Chuge's beast transformation must be an Earth Rank technique at the very least, otherwise he wouldn't be able to emit such a powerful aura.

At this time, Fang Chuge's aura was already equivalent to that of a Wu Wang, and his current strength could definitely be described as terrifying.

Ye Yang's eyes immediately burned with passion. He didn't know how strong his bronze body and his beast transformation was.

What Ye Yang didn't know was that the "Beast Form" was actually the treasure of the Cloud Returning Cave, an Earth Stage Mid Rank cultivation technique.

However, his strength did not lie in the technique itself, but in the user himself.

The Beast Transformation was similar to a secret technique. After refining the blood essence of a magical beast and using a secret technique, one could temporarily obtain a portion of the magical beast's strength.

A normal martial general being able to refine the blood essence of a Class 4 Magical Beast was already an amazing feat. This was because the blood essence was extremely wild and violent. Without a strong physical body, it was impossible to subdue.

And Fang Chuge was the first genius in body tempering in the history of the Cloud Returning Cave, so the toughness of his body was extremely high.

His body had been refined by the Cloud Returning Cave since he was young using countless precious medicinal ingredients, adding Fang Chuge's talent in cultivation, he had never met an opponent among his peers with such strong battle prowess.

Before entering the Secret Realm, Fang Chuge had asked his master for a drop of the Rank 5 Magical Beast's blood essence from the Raging Sky Ape.

After entering the secret realm and breaking through to martial general, he immediately refined it. Today was his first time using it.

The three of them were already fighting with their lives at this moment. Fang Chuge, axe in hand, charged towards Black Bear while shouting.

"The three of us will stall the magical beasts. All of you, hurry up and harvest the Cast Spirit Fruit!"

Upon hearing this, everyone ran around the black bear and headed towards the Cast Spirit Fruit tree.

As they spoke, the three of them had already rushed to the front of Black Bear. Fang Chuge raised his axe and, like a streak of black lightning, hacked forward.

"Earth Splitting Slash!"

Long Xiaoyun and Jin Yunshan did not delay either, each using their strongest ultimate moves to attack.

"Collapsing Mountain!"

"Tiger Roar Saber!"

Seeing the three of them rushing towards him, Black Bear once again stood up. It was just that this time, the light balls in his palms were several times stronger than before.

Bang.

Black Bear's massive body was pushed back several meters, and his massive body tumbled to the ground.

As for Fang Chuge and the other two, their clothes were tattered and they were sent flying as well.

Fang Chuge was clearly much stronger than the two of them, after retreating about 10 metres, he stabilized himself and stood at his original position.

As for Long Xiaoyun and Jin Yunshan, they were sent flying more than thirty meters back. Only after pathetically spitting out a mouthful of blood did they barely manage to stabilize themselves.

However, they were pleasantly surprised to see that the fastest disciple had already run 10 feet away from the Cast Spirit Fruit tree. He would soon be able to obtain the Cast Spirit Fruit.

At this moment, Black Bear had already been knocked back more than a dozen feet. He had no time to stop them at all, and as he watched, the Mysterious Casting Fruit was about to fall into their hands.

Mu Yuqing never thought that such a result would happen in front of her eyes. She was shocked and was about to attack.

But he was stopped by Ye Yang, just as Mu Yuqing was panicking and Fang Chuge was rejoicing.

The black bear slowly stood up and slammed both of its palms on the ground. The ground within a radius of a hundred feet instantly turned yellow.

Fang Chuge was shocked, he anxiously shouted: "Quickly retreat!"

However, it was too late. After the ground turned yellow, countless stone-like spikes broke out from the ground.

The entire ground was instantly covered with ten feet of spikes, just like a dense mass of spikes.

The miserable screams did not stop, although in that instant, someone heard Fang Chuge's scream and anxiously retreated.

However, there were a dozen or so people who had long since forgotten the danger because of the speed at which they were running and the fact that they saw the Cast Spirit Fruit in front of their eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the dozen of people were pierced by the spikes on the ground. Their bodies were covered in blood.

The three of them had no way to predict what would happen next. In an instant, their sect's elites had suffered heavy losses. They looked at the Cast Spirit Fruit with some unwillingness in their eyes.

"All retreat!"
