right away."I told you, I'm not your father."Tadashi Watanabe's eyes were lecherous as he scanned over Keiko Watanabe, "Twenty years ago, when I was traveling in China, I happened to see a young woma..."My husband, be careful!"

The Qingye King couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Others were the same, facing such a powerful opponent, they all worried for Ye Bufan.

And just then, the entire sky crackled with thunder and lightning. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of electric arcs converged to form a web of lightning protecting Ye Bufan.

The Golden Bear-Tiger Beast's fists, imbued with earth-shattering power, tore through the lightning net in the blink of an eye.

The following could be immediately followed by "second," "third," and so on, as if the lightning were endlessly condensing at the fastest speed.

Finally, after being struck by the eighteenth bolt of lightning net, its fist had completely lost its power. At this moment, it was still dozens of feet away from Ye Bufan.

The Golden Bear Tiger Beast smirked, "Interesting. You managed to withstand my strike."

The interesting part is yet to come, this is just the beginning.

Ye Bufan struck out a series of talismans, beginning to manipulate the Five Thunders Annihilation Formation.

Since his mastery of formations reached its peak, he had used this formation many times, but never unleashed its full power. Before, he effortlessly dealt with his opponents.

Facing a golden bear-tiger beast that had reached the peak of the tenth order, he didn't dare to be careless at all. He pushed the power of the Five Thunder Heavenly Killing Formation to the extreme.

"Give me a blast!"

With a mighty roar, hundreds of bolts of lightning struck down, blinding arcs of electricity accompanied by the deafening rumble of thunder instantly engulfed the Golden Bear-Tiger Beast.

Everyone around was stunned, watching in awe at such powerful lightning might. A casual strike of its arc could obliterate a barbarian emperor-level expert.

To their astonishment, the Golden Bear-Tiger Beast's power remained immense. Even as it was engulfed by lightning, it remained calm and unleashed another powerful punch.

With a booming crackle, the light faded, revealing its form.

Although its clothes were tattered and its head was covered in soot, it looked rather disheveled but that was all. Such a violent lightning strike had not injured it.

The Golden Bear-Tiger Beast shook the dust off its body and smiled, "Your formation is indeed formidable, but to wound me, you're still short."

Seeing this, the hope that the Qingye clan had just ignited quickly shattered.

It's no exaggeration to say that their fate is now intertwined with the array before them. If they fail to slay the Golden Bear Tiger Beast, their only path will be death.

Yet Ye Bufan remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic whatsoever.

"Don't get impatient, this is just an appetizer. Now, I'll show you what a real Five Thunder Heavenly Killing Array is."

As they spoke, another incantation was cast, and the Heavenly Thunder Pearl suspended above their head began to spin rapidly.

Thunder boomed, lightning flashed, and the power of the lightning it emitted was a hundred times stronger than before.

Feeling the pressure from above, the Golden Bear Tiger Beast's expression changed drastically. The previous playfulness and ease vanished completely; at this moment, it truly felt threatened.

"Woof!"

Faced with the full-force Five Thunders Annihilation Formation, it no longer dared to be careless. After a roar, it revealed its true form.

A giant tenth-order monster appeared before everyone. It was as strong as a bear and as ferocious as a tiger, exuding endless pressure all over its body.

Feeling its immense power, the surrounding monsters all prostrated themselves, showing utmost respect.

Ye Bufan's expression was cold and stern. He wasn't sure if the Five Thunder Heavenly Killing Formation could truly defeat a tenth-order peak demonic beast, which already stood at the pinnacle of power on the Kunlun Continent.

"Kill me!"

With a furious roar, he exerted all his strength to power the formation. Instantly, the surrounding lightning began to coalesce.

In the end, it transformed into a gigantic thunder dragon with five legs and a hundred-zhang long body. It carried boundless dragon might and charged towards the Golden Bear Tiger Beast.

This time's lightning was completely different from last time. Five dragon-shaped bolts of lightning slashed across the sky, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

"Wow wow wow…"

This time, the Golden Bear Tiger Beast truly felt threatened. A series of roars echoed, followed by massive paws striking out relentlessly.

But its power was ultimately limited. Though it defeated two Thunder Dragons, the following three crashed into it with great force.

"Boom, boom..."

A tier 10 monster and three lightning dragons, the might they unleashed was beyond human imagination. The earth was plowed with furrows, and even the monsters outside were forced to retreat again and again.

If it weren't for the protection of the formation, those people wouldn't even be able to withstand the aftereffects.

A violent clash ensued, with the five lightning dragons disappearing between heaven and earth. As the dust settled, the gigantic form of the golden bear-tiger beast once again came into view.

It's just that compared to before, its might has been reduced by half. Its whole body is covered in wounds, some with bloodstains and others charred by lightning.

"Wow!"

The Golden Bear Tiger Beast opened its jaws and spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering from serious internal injuries from the recent clash.

At this moment, the entire venue was deathly silent, save for the incessant buzzing of the thunderclaps echoing in mid-air.

The scene just now was too shocking, both humans and monsters were stunned.

Ye Bufan was no different. As the controller of the formation, he naturally understood the immense power of the Five Thunder Heavenly Killing Formation with the Tianlei Pearl as its eye.

Back then on Panlong Island, I didn't even use my full power and effortlessly wiped out three late-stage level 10 monsters.

Even now, unleashing its full power, it has only managed to severely wound the Golden Bear-Tiger Beast and hasn't been able to completely slay it.

"Kill, protect the king!"

The beasts outside regained their senses and let out roars, charging together towards the Five Thunder Heavenly Killing Formation. They obviously still wanted to use the same method to disperse the formation.

But obviously, they were wrong this time. The Five Thunder Heavenly Slaughter Formation's power was countless times stronger than the Binding Formation just now.

Moreover, lightning has its own characteristics. Even if they have strong defenses, being struck by lightning can immediately affect their ability to move, even if it doesn't endanger their lives.

One by one, they were electrocuted, their outsides charred black but their insides still raw. They shivered uncontrollably, no longer capable of continuing the assault.

In the blink of an eye, the outside of the formation was densely packed with monsters.

The Earth Bear and the Iron-Hooved Rhinoceros are doing better, at least. They're tenth-order monsters, so they're injured but not fatally.

Those nine-tier undead boars didn't have that kind of strength. They all fell under the thunder.

"Alright, all of you, please don't come any closer."

The Golden Bear-Tiger Beast waved its paw, stopping the outside demon beasts. Its figure flashed and it once again transformed into a human form, appearing before Ye Bufan.

"Human, you are indeed more than I expected."

It wiped the blood from its lips. "How many years has it been I can't remember how long it's been since I was injured last. You are the first human to wound me."

"Your strength is beyond my expectations, but killing you within this formation is just a matter of time."

Ye Bufan spoke as he urged the Tianlei Bead to quickly restore its thunderous power.

The five lightning dragons just now were extremely fierce, but they also came at a great cost. Driving them once put a tremendous strain on the Heaven-Thunder Orb.

He must give it his all, only then will he have a chance of completely slaying the Golden Bear-Tiger Beast.

And just as he was about to make his move, the Golden Bear-Tiger Beast gave him a strange smile. "Human, would you like to hear a story I tell you"
