Chapter 26
Slaying a Third-Rank Expert, Hundreds of Years of Lifespan

“Your aura is repulsive. You must be another Beast Hunter.”

The scarred beast turned its head slightly, its sharp teeth bared as it looked at Yang Hao, who was slowly approaching the warehouse. It said, “Looks like it was my little ones again, leaving a loophole while they were feeding.”

“It's alright though, you Beast Hunters, your flesh and blood are much more nourishing than ordinary martial artists.”

“My children, kill him!”

The words echoed in the air as a First-Rank beast lunged towards Zhang Mo.

“Foolish!”

Zhang Mo sneered, taking a step forward. He reached out with one hand, his fingers gripping the beast's neck before it could even scream, its eyes wide with fear.

Crack!

The sound of bone breaking echoed through the warehouse.

In the blink of an eye, the beast had breathed its last.

Seeing this, the other beasts were stunned for a moment. Then, they all burst into a fury, attacking Zhang Mo.

These seven beasts working together could even give a Third-Rank martial artist a run for their money.

But Zhang Mo simply ignored them, letting their attacks land upon him. As his five fingers stretched out, his Shattering Bone Hand seemed to shatter mountains and split rocks.

“Ah! Ah!”

Two of the beasts only felt a hand growing before their eyes, then a sharp pain in their heads, and then they lost consciousness forever.

From where Wang Fu Gui and the others stood, they saw Zhang Mo stand firm against the attacks of seven beasts, completely unscathed. Then, with two swift strikes, he shattered the skulls of two of them.

“How… how is he so strong?”

Wang Fu Gui and the others stared with wide eyes, their faces filled with shock.

Though their own skills were weak, they still had some insight. They could tell that the two beasts were genuine Second-Rank Peak beasts.

Such beings were casually killed by Zhang Mo, without even leaving a mark.

“Damn humans!”

The scarred beast was both shocked and furious. Its massive body rose into the air, every muscle bulging and contorting like a giant boulder plummeting to the ground.

Boom!

With a deafening roar.

The spot where Zhang Mo had been standing before was completely shattered.

The power of the scarred beast’s attack was so strong that it created a huge crater in the ground.

However, Zhang Mo had already used his Nine Steps of the Spirit Snake, launching himself forward the moment the beast attacked.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Zhang Mo unleashed six consecutive palms, shattering the bones and piercing the bodies of six beasts.

To him, these First-Rank and even Second-Rank beasts were simply too weak.

“How dare you?!”

Seeing his kin killed one after another, the scarred beast was truly enraged.

Bang!

Its feet slammed against the ground, its entire body moving like an avalanche, its powerful fist extended forward, the armor on its hand crackling with black mist, tearing through the air.

Fueled by anger.

The scarred beast unleashed its beastly art.

“Excellent!”

Zhang Mo let out a long roar, his muscles twisting and turning, as if he was letting out a tiger’s roar or a dragon's cry.

Then, Zhang Mo reached out with one hand, his Shattering Bone Hand shooting forward.

Bang!

When the fist met the palm.

It exploded like a thunderbolt.

The raw power of the blow expanded outwards, visible to the naked eye.

The entire warehouse trembled.

Between Zhang Mo and the scarred beast, a massive pit appeared in the ground.

Amidst the rising dust!

The two figures staggered back, barely managing to regain their footing.

“This…?”

Wang Fu Gui and the others were petrified, like statues made of clay.

Everything happened so fast.

In the blink of an eye.

Nine beasts had been reduced to one by Zhang Mo.

And in the end!

Zhang Mo had even fought a Third-Rank beast to a standstill, which was simply unbelievable.

They stared at Zhang Mo, their eyes filled with awe.

“Your strength… your defense… how is it possible?”

The scarred beast looked at Zhang Mo, who remained unscathed. Its face finally changed, then it sneered, “But… still not quite enough.”

It had keenly noticed that Zhang Mo had retreated further than he had. This meant that their strength still had a gap between them.

“Is that so, I don't think so.”

Zhang Mo stretched his limbs, his bones clicking and popping.

That earlier palm strike was just a test, he hadn’t even used his killing blow.

“Shattering Bone, Piercing Heart!”

With a shout, Zhang Mo unleashed a punch.

At that moment!

Though Zhang Mo only punched, it contained thirty-six distinct variations.

The power was immense, shattering bones and marrow.

“What kind of palm technique is that?”

The scarred beast’s eyes widened in fear, then it gritted its teeth and said, “But no matter what, I will not lose to a mere Second-Rank human.”

It clenched its fist, the armor on its fingers gathering into a black mist like solid jade, and struck out with a heavy fist, meeting Zhang Mo's palm.

Boom!

The warehouse resonated as if a thunderbolt had exploded.

Countless cracks spiderwebbed across the floor, the surrounding crates shattered into pieces.

Now.

Zhang Mo and the scarred beast seemed to lock in a stalemate, as if evenly matched,

But the thirty-six variations of Shattering Bone, Piercing Heart had already penetrated the scarred beast's body.

“Puwa!”

The scarred beast vomited blood, its entire body flying backwards, smashing through the wall.

Seeing this!

Zhang Mo used his Nine Steps of the Spirit Snake, his figure shooting forward.

Strike while the iron is hot!

He wouldn’t hesitate for a second.

In an instant, Zhang Mo was in front of the scarred beast, who was struggling to get back on its feet. Another palm landed on its skull.

“You…!”

The scarred beast only had time to utter a roar before its body collapsed, its blood staining the earth crimson.

[Third-Rank Early Beast, Total Lifespan: 460 years, Remaining Lifespan: 260 years, Plunder Complete]

[Second-Rank Peak Beast, Total Lifespan: 310 years, Remaining Lifespan: 110 years, Plunder Complete]

[Second-Rank Peak Beast, Total Lifespan: 320 years, Remaining Lifespan: 105 years, Plunder Complete]

[Second-Rank Peak Beast, Total Lifespan: 315 years, Remaining Lifespan: 111 years, Plunder Complete]

Zhang Mo looked at the text on his system and smiled.

From Wang Fu Gui's perspective, Zhang Mo stood atop a mountain of corpses and blood, surrounded by the bodies and flesh of beasts, like a towering god of slaughter.
