Translator: 549690339

The Steel-backed Bear, initially aiming to charge over to tear Fang Lin and Yang Pojun to pieces, abruptly stopped when it locked eyes with Fang Lin’s icy gaze. The terror filled its terrifying bear face.

This scene left Yang Pojun utterly stunned. What was going on?

In the following moment, an overpowering aura, not that of Inner Strength, but of Demon Qi, emerged from Fang Lin.

That’s right! Fang Lin’s body was now exuding a Demon Qi far more powerful than that of the Steel-Backed Bear.

At that moment, Fang Lin seemed as though he had morphed into a genuine Demon Beast. Though still humanoid, he was enveloped in a sky-touching Demon Qi.

The Steel-backed Bear whimpered, trembled, and the other caged demons gave out wailing cries, seemingly terrified. They all lay prostrate on the ground.

On Fang Lin’s body, the shadow of a ferocious beast faintly appeared. Although its appearance was blurry, Yang Pojun recognized it as one of the Seven Great Demons from the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard.

Breaking Peak!

At that moment, Fang Lin activated the immortal blood essence that had been refined within him, releasing Breaking Peak’s aura.

Breaking Peak, a Giant Demon from countless ages past, was also one of the guardians under the Demon Saint’s throne with extraordinary power.

The Demon Beasts here, including the escaped Steel-Backed Bear, all sensed the aura of Breaking Peak. The bloodline-based pressure made them terrified, mistaking Fang Lin for Breaking Peak.

The Steel-backed Bear, with its impressive bloodline, was completely eclipsed by Breaking Peak. Even the Sky-Splitting Bear, a step above the Steel-Backed Bear, could only barely rival Breaking Peak.

“Back off!” Fang Lin commanded coldly, his voice brimming with an endless amount of intimidation.

Though a Demon Beast, the Steel-Backed Bear understood human language. Upon hearing Fang Lin’s command, it obediently retreated several steps. Its eyes no longer held the previous fierceness and brutality, but fear and panic.

The Steel-Backed Bear was baffled. It had just attempted to attack an ancient Giant Demon, which was nothing short of a death wish.

It was as if a small human child, ignorant of his own limitations, wanted to kill a strong, grown man.

Yang Pojun came back to his senses. It seemed Fang Lin had been hiding this ability to intimidate a herd of demons, he could hardly believe it.

However, at that moment, Yang Pojun didn’t say much. It seemed as though the crisis had been averted for now, but the presence of that Steel-backed Bear continued to unsettle him.

Fang Lin was anxious. He was merely a paper tiger trying to scare away his enemies. If touched, he would easily fall.

Fang Lin silently rejoiced. Thankfully, the Steel-Backed Bear hadn’t entered a state of frenzy. If it had lost all reason due to frenzy, it would disregard everything to charge at him regardless of the aura he emanated.

Moreover, this Steel-Backed Bear evidently wasn’t too bright. Otherwise, it would have surely questioned why Fang Lin, a human, was emitting the aura of a demon.

“Quickly send a message to your Emperor Father, ask him to come and save us.” Fang Lin spoke to Yang Pojun in a hushed voice.

Yang Pojun repeatedly nodded, taking out a Message Transmitting Jade Slip to connect with Yang Jianye. However, the Jade Slip generated no response; it was completely unable to communicate with the outside world.

Yang Pojun’s heart sunk. Although multiple arrays were in place in the Imperial Beast Garden, under normal circumstances, one should be able to use a Message Transmitting Jade Slip.

But currently, the jade slip failed, indicating that someone from the outside had set up an isolating array, preventing Fang Lin and Yang Pojun from communicating with the outside world.

They seemed intent on placing Fang Lin and Yang Pojun in a deathtrap, giving them no chance to escape.

“Humph!” Fang Lin coldly snorted. He’d anticipated this situation; if he were in their shoes, he’d have done the same.

However, the situation was currently stable. At least he and Yang Pojun were not in immediate danger. For the time being, the Steel-Backed Bear would not act recklessly.

However, given more time, even the Steel-Backed Bear, dim as it was, would notice that something was wrong. Even if they joined forces, they would still be no match for it.

What should we do?

Waiting was disadvantageous to Fang Lin and Yang Pojun, but they were unable to contact the outside world, nor could they leave this place. It appeared they had hit a dead end.

Suddenly, Fang Lin had an idea, but it also made him somewhat anxious.

He had a trump card, which, if used, would undoubtedly ensure their safety for an extended period, but the risk associated with this trump card was huge. It could potentially pose an even more terrifying threat.

However, it seemed that unless they made a big commotion, they might not attract the attention of those outside.

He weighed the pros and cons as time gradually passed, leaving the Steel-Backed Bear initially fearful, and then slowly growing doubtful.

Although the Steel-Backed Bear was slow and dull-witted, it was, after all, an intelligent Demon Beast, not completely mindless.

At that moment, the Steel-Backed Bear pondered why a human would emit a demon’s aura. Something was definitely off.

Very wrong!

Using its meager intelligence, it pondered over this. Although it couldn’t come to any conclusion for the time being, it felt that it shouldn’t be this frightened.

Moreover, along with the Steel-Backed Bear, the demons in the cages also gradually regained their senses. Among them, a few were more perceptive than the Steel-Backed Bear and started to growl.

Noticing this, Fang Lin knew he was in a bad situation. Soon enough, the Steel-Backed Bear would come to its senses, and it was likely he wouldn’t be able to suppress it with Breaking Peak’s aura any longer.

After all, Fang Lin wasn’t the true Breaking Peak. He was merely emitting a false aura generated from the immortal blood essence. Even though it seemed like it could be convincing, careful discernment would reveal its oddity.

“I have no choice!” Fang Lin gritted his teeth. The threat of the Steel-Backed Bear was too large. Under these circumstances, promptly finding a way out was the best strategy.

Just as Fang Lin was about to retrieve his biggest trump card from the Nine Palace Bag, suddenly, the little golden beast hidden in the Beast Bag jumped out. It landed on Fang Lin’s shoulder and began to squeak at the Steel-Backed Bear.

The little golden beast seemed extremely anxious, squeaking as though it was communicating with the Steel-Backed Bear.

The Steel-Backed Bear was taken aback, then fixed its gaze on the little golden beast, its eyes full of perplexity.

The volume of the little beast’s squeal grew louder. Before long, the Steel-Backed Bear’s eyelids began to droop.

“Eh?” Fang Lin’s eyes sparkled upon seeing this, and a look of surprise crossed Yang Pojun’s face too.

Not only the Steel-Backed Bear, all the caged demons calmed down as well. Particularly, the lesser ones all lay on the ground and fell asleep.
