*Roar!*

Following a bestial roar, the powerful experts from the various Families scattered like startled birds, rapidly retreating a considerable distance.

Upon witnessing the intimidating presence of this Demonic Beast, the eyes of numerous Martial Emperors held deep wariness, while many Families felt profound regret rising within their hearts.

However, it was already too late for such sentiments.

Fortunately, these Forces were not ordinary. After a brief moment of panic, they swiftly organised themselves into coordinated attacks.

After all, there was no turning back now. They firmly believed this was the Xing Family’s final trump card. As long as they could eliminate this mountain-sized behemoth before them, countless riches would beckon to them.

What they did not realise was that this terrifying beast had not yet fully revealed its true form. Its current body was nowhere near the size of even a single foot from when it had appeared during the Ten Thousand Beast Tide in the Central Province!

“Kill it!”

Following the thunderous shout from a Martial Emperor, countless attacks from innumerable Martial Kings descended like a brilliant shower of light, carrying momentum that even Martial Emperors would find intimidating, striking ruthlessly towards this gigantic beast.

“Be careful!”

Witnessing such an offensive, the faces of several Xing Family Elders changed dramatically. Though they had previously insisted on refusing protection to the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce members, at this point they were all grasshoppers on the same rope. They could only rely on this suddenly appearing giant beast to gain a moment’s respite.

The reason the Great Elder had yet to appear was certainly because he was being held back by experts from the Qian Family and the Ouyang Family!

Seeing the overwhelming barrage of attacks shooting towards the giant beast, several Elders finally could not help but cry out in alarm. If even this giant beast were killed, the Xing Family truly would not be able to resist any longer!

*Boom!*

The spectacular assault covering the sky required merely a few breaths before striking heavily against the giant beast. The terrifying shockwaves generated by such fearsome attacks directly collapsed nearby buildings, while some Martial Kings who had positioned themselves too close were sent flying with blood spurting from their mouths.

For a moment, dust filled the air, obscuring everyone’s vision.

“Let’s see if you’re still not dead?!”

“A beast is ultimately just a beast! What does having a massive body matter? With attacks from at least a hundred Martial Kings, how could a mere beast possibly withstand it?”

The numerous Martial Kings who had just attacked with full force gazed towards the dusty haze with cruel eyes, their lips curling into savage grins.

At this moment, the faces of the Xing Family members had turned ashen. As the saying goes, two fists cannot defeat four hands. None of them had confidence they could have withstood such an assault.

However, several sharp-eyed Martial Emperors peered through the swirling dust and vaguely discerned that the giant beast’s silhouette seemed to remain standing.

*Roar!*

A massive bestial roar suddenly thundered forth amidst countless shocked gazes. This roar struck like a bolt of lightning, hammering mercilessly into the hearts of countless people.

Instantly, fierce winds arose, gradually dispersing the dust cloud. That awe-inspiring, mountain-like beast shadow once again appeared in everyone’s sight.

What was even more shocking was that the previous assault, one that would force even Martial Emperors to temporarily avoid its edge, had apparently left not a single mark upon its body. Even its armour-like fur bore not so much as a scratch!

“What… what kind of monster is this!?”

Gazing at this giant beast, countless people could not help but nervously gulp, the same thought arising involuntarily in their minds.

An assault capable of severely injuring or even killing Martial Emperors had caused it no damage whatsoever!

Just where had this monster emerged from!?

At this moment, the giant beast’s eyes seemed to hold a trace of irritation. Though the previous attacks had not injured him, they had caused him discomfort.

Pain, was a sensation, apart from when Little Ling’er pinched his ears, he had not experienced for an immeasurably long time.

The Black Qilin was inherently a beast of murderous intent!

As Xiao Hei’s fury began to rise, an extremely terrifying, suffocating aura of killing intent suddenly emanated outwards. Despite deliberately restraining himself somewhat, this aura still enveloped nearly half the Imperial City.

Atop Xiao Hei’s head, Xiao Bai stood with perfect composure. His gaze swept over the crowd below, eyes holding mockery and disdain.

Though in terms of raw power, he had not truly entered the Martial Emperor Realm, when he combined forces with Xiao Hei, even Martial Emperors could only yield ground.

Within the Xing Family Residence, everyone looked at each other with stunned expressions, their faces blank with shock.

These two creatures that normally ‘appeared harmless as household pets’ were too terrifying!

The several Elders who had continuously proposed handing them over could not help but swallow nervously, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

Fortunately, they had not committed the disgraceful act of forcibly expelling these creatures. Otherwise, not only would they have damaged the Xing Family’s reputation, but in the end, it was uncertain who would be driving whom away…

*Roar!*

With an angry roar from the enlarged Xiao Hei, his mountain-like body leaped into the air.

*Bang!*

Following his landing, the earth trembled violently, dust flew everywhere, and cries of anguish continuously filled the air.

After merely several trampling steps, the previously organised coalition of experts was once again thrown into complete disarray.

Continuing like this, the outcome required no contemplation.

When they attacked him, the creature remained unscathed, but when he stepped down once, the earth shook and mountains trembled, with countless casualties.

How could they possibly fight this?

What if the Xing Family had unleashed this thing upon their own Families’ territories? They would have no tears left to cry!

At this point, those ignorant Forces still believed this was the Xing Family’s final trump card, completely unaware that the Xing Family members themselves were equally filled with shock and bewilderment…

This giant beast’s defensive capability was simply invincible.

Naturally, no one knew that this Xiao Hei was actually manifested from a Black Qilin’s Blood Essence, which explained his astounding defensive power.

“How dare you continue your rampage!”

Just as the coalition of various Families fell into complete rout, an angry shout suddenly thundered through the air.

Simultaneously, a Heaven shaking sword cry soared skyward. Everyone felt an extremely terrifying Sword Qi sweep across Heaven, transforming into a razor-sharp sword beam over ten meters long, bombarding towards the continuously trampling giant beast.

*Boom!*

As this sword beam descended, the giant beast that had remained completely unharmed under the attacks of hundreds of Martial King experts now staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

Beside it, a crevice dozens of meters wide appeared in the hard ground, its edges gleaming like mirrors!
