Considering the powers of the cultivators from the five major Families, they certainly couldn’t do that.

 

The Golden Corpse King was surprised by Ju Jia’s transformation as well. He furrowed his brows, for he felt immense pressure coming from Ju Jia. This made him feel inconceivable.

 

In just several steps, Ju Jia reached the Golden Corpse King and forcefully extended his large fist towards the opponent’s face.

 

The Golden Corpse King did the same. Just as they were about to come into contact, Ju Jia suddenly turned his fist into a palm.

 

When the fist and the palm clashed, the impact was astonishing as a layer of visible air blast spread in all directions.

 

The Golden Corpse King’s golden pupils dilated as disbelief was written all over his face. That was because this burly man, whom he could always drive off, wasn’t sent flying away this time. Instead, he only slightly tipped his back before he regained his balance.

 

Ju Jia’s feet seemed fixed to the ground. The violent force coming from the Golden Corpse King spread through his entire body, causing some of his bones to crack. More cracks appeared on his skin, and blood was seen streaming out of his wounds.

 

It seemed as though he would come apart at any moment.

 

However, Ju Jia’s eyes were clear. Determination and ferocity were seen behind his gaze. Out of nowhere, he revealed his teeth and grinned at the Golden Corpse King.

 

“I’ve caught you!”

 

Suddenly, he tightened his grip and clenched the Golden Corpse King’s fist with his palm.

 

“Oh, no!” After such a long battle, it was the first time the Golden Corpse King appeared to be flustered. He had no regard for this burly man as the latter could only passively get struck by him. But much to his surprise, Ju Jia went through an amazing transformation at such a critical moment. When the Golden Corpse King came to his senses and wanted to retract his fist, it was too late.

 

When it came to strength, none of these three people was a match for him, not even Lu Ye, who had fully activated Bloodrage, let alone Ju Jia.

 

If the Golden Corpse King’s fist had been gripped like this by Ju Jia in the past, he could’ve easily retracted it.

 

But after Ju Jia went through a transformation and learned an incredible Secret Technique, his grip became impossibly firm. Regardless of how hard the Golden Corpse King tried, he realised he was unable to get rid of Ju Jia.

 

Incensed, he balled up his other fist and forcefully pushed it out towards Ju Jia’s chest.

 

Although Ju Jia tried to fend it off, he was much slower than his opponent. Faced with such an attack, he was powerless to do anything. Since he had to restrict the Golden Corpse King, he couldn’t even dodge his attack.

 

After he learned the Secret Technique amid his fury, he wouldn’t be sent flying away again, but he now had to face even more vicious attacks from his opponent.

 

Fortunately, Lan Zi Yi appeared from the side and continuously attacked the Golden Corpse King, thus relieving some of the pressure off Ju Jia.

 

Meanwhile, Lu Ye suddenly said, “You’ve done a great job!”

 

Initially, he had decided to heed Lan Zi Yi’s advice and retreat. That was because he couldn’t find out what allowed the Golden Corpse King to strengthen his power. As such, he wouldn’t dare use his last trump card. After all, the Golden Corpse King wasn’t an immovable target that would wait for his attack.

 

In actuality, the Golden Corpse King was dexterous. Considering the previous situation, even if Lu Ye used the last trump card, he might not be able to hurt the Golden Corpse King. He might even put the three of them in a perilous situation.

 

But now, the Golden Corpse King had become an immovable target.

 

Naturally, Lu Ye wouldn’t hesitate to use his last move. At this point, the reason the Golden Corpse King could become so powerful was no longer important. As long as Lu Ye could defeat the Golden Corpse King before Ju Jia collapsed, the victory would be theirs.

 

While he was in his thoughts, Amber, which had been crouching on his shoulder, understood what it had to do. The tiger growled, after which a red light glowed.

 

Lan Zi Yi, who had been trying to distract the Golden Corpse King, was shocked. Not knowing what happened to Lu Ye, she turned to look at him.

 

The spot where Lu Ye stood was surrounded by a layer of blood mist. The red light looked like a layer of flowing blood, and Lu Ye was faintly seen behind the blood.

 

But at this moment, his figure seemed contorted and strange. Suddenly, an imposing aura exploded from the layer of red light.

 

Lan Zi Yi was flabbergasted. When she detected the Golden Corpse King’s aura for the first time, she felt that his power wasn’t within the range of the Cloud River Realm. But now, the aura Lu Ye exuded wasn’t any weaker than that of the Golden Corpse King.

 

She couldn’t believe that this guy had another trump card.

 

As soon as the thought turned over in her mind, an agile figure emerged from the red light. He was so swift that even Lan Zi Yi couldn’t clearly see what was going on.

 

She was startled, for Lu Ye was in a strange condition.

 

The white little beast, which had been crouching on his shoulder, was nowhere to be seen. Lu Ye was engulfed in a layer of yellow glow. That was the colour after vitality and Spiritual Power perfectly merged with one another. The glow seemed to have materialised. On his forehead, there seemed to be two tiger ears, and there was even a lifelike red tiger tail behind him.

 

At that moment, Lan Zi Yi felt like she wasn’t looking at a Human. Lu Ye looked like an ancient beast that emerged from an abyss. He was majestic and imposing.

 

Lu Ye’s combat style was violent, and he could give off immense pressure. That feeling had intensified now.

 

Although Lan Zi Yi wasn’t his target, she still found it hard to breathe.

 

Soon enough, she realised that it was Beast Form.

 

She had been to Myriad Beast Domain before. At that time, she had even joined forces with Lu Ye to kill their enemies. She had witnessed how mighty Niu Meng from the Black Tortoise Sect was.

 

Myriad Beast Domain had an exclusive Secret Technique that was the most powerful in Beastmastery. Naturally, Lan Zi Yi was familiar with it.

 

As such, she instantly realised what was going on with Lu Ye. He must have activated Beast Form.

 

But unlike the Beast Form that Niu Meng had used, Lu Ye didn’t turn into a Spirit Beast. The slight characteristics of a Spirit Beast were the manifestation of his vitality and Spiritual Power intertwining with each other.

 

Lan Zi Yi felt that this guy had hidden his abilities well.

 

“I’m here, Master!” The voice of a young kid was suddenly heard in Lu Ye’s mind, almost destroying his murderous intent.

 

Only then did Lu Ye recall that after he activated Beast Form, Amber could communicate with him in his mind. The last time Amber did that, he was shocked.

 

Anyway, he had only activated Beast Form twice so far. The last time he did that, he was in the Carnage Colosseum. As such, he had forgotten about it after such a long time.

 

“Save Ju Jia! He looks badly hurt!” Amber exclaimed. Besides Lu Ye and Yi Yi, the tiger was closest to Ju Jia. Naturally, the tiger was furious upon seeing that Ju Jia was in such a terrible state.

 

Without the need for the tiger to urge him, Lu Ye instantly appeared beside Ju Jia. Before he even gained a footing, he extended his saber.

 

When he was in Beast Form, everything around him seemed to have slowed down. He had experienced this feeling before. It wasn’t that the world had indeed slowed down. It was just that his mind and consciousness had become more sensitive. That was the result of his surge in power.

 

His Spiritual Power and vitality swelled. He carried with him a penetrating aura as he pushed his saber towards the Golden Corpse King’s eye.

 

Both parties had been in a battle for quite a while. Even when the Golden Corpse King was restricted by Ju Jia, he was only nervous, but he wasn’t fearful. But now, he was finally engulfed in a great sense of danger.

 

Although he couldn’t get rid of Ju Jia, the three of them could only harm him, considering their powers. There was no way they could kill him. Naturally, he wouldn’t be afraid.

 

But now, he could clearly feel that Lu Ye’s attack would threaten his life.

 

Since he couldn’t move away, he quickly tilted his head in an attempt to dodge the attack.

 

Nevertheless, Lu Ye was more agile than he usually was. The moment the Golden Corpse King tilted his head, the trajectory of Lu Ye’s saber changed as well. A light radiated from the dark blade. With the blessing of Sharp Edge, the weapon seemed able to destroy anything in this world.

 

The Golden Corpse King was flabbergasted.

 

Although Lu Ye was powerful, he wasn’t as dexterous as his opponent. That was the reason the Golden Corpse King had been at an advantage, but now, the advantage was gone.

 

It was too late to dodge the attack, so he could only close the eye which had been targeted.

 

The next moment, the saber jabbed into his eyelid. A high-pitched clang was heard as though two pieces of metal had clashed.

 

The Golden Corpse King tipped his head back to dispel the force. As his stinky blood spurted from his wound, he growled furiously.

 

Although the saber didn’t jab into his head, the attack almost blinded him. If he hadn’t reacted swiftly, he would’ve been in a horrible state.

 

That said, his left eye had been violently struck, and it was in excruciating pain. Although he wasn’t badly hurt, he couldn’t see for the time being. The blood coming from his injured eye had blocked his vision.

 

“He’s not killed?” Lan Zi Yi was astounded.

 

When she saw the increase in Lu Ye’s power, coupled with the fact that Ju Jia had restricted the Golden Corpse King, she thought that the victory would be theirs. But now, it seemed they would have to keep fighting their opponent.

 

Without hesitation, she charged forward with her saber. Although what she could do was limited, she would be useful by distracting the Golden Corpse King in such a situation.

 

“Hack him, Master! Use your Tyrant Blade Technique!” Amber talked incessantly in Lu Ye’s mind. Usually, the tiger wasn’t able to communicate with Lu Ye like this, so during the two times when Lu Ye activated Beast Form, the tiger just wouldn’t stop talking to him.

 

Also, it felt strange that the tiger spoke in such a ferocious tone when its voice was that of a young kid.

 

Following Amber’s unwanted instructions, Lu Ye flew around the Golden Corpse King like a bird and cast his Saber Lights at his opponent from different angles. Sometimes, he would attempt to jab his saber right into his opponent.

 

Lan Zi Yi was also there to help distract the Golden Corpse King.

 

On the other hand, Ju Jia was freed. Initially, he remained immovable in the same spot, acting like a punching bag that could only receive attacks.

 

But now, the Golden Corpse King wasn’t in the mood to pay any attention to him. That was because he had shifted all his focus to dealing with Lu Ye.
