The beastmen each grabbed a large leather bag and rushed towards the rows of bookshelves.

No matter what the books were, they stuffed them all into the leather bags.

These were the classics collected by the Garrison Academy, the Martial Artist Holy Land! For the remote and backward beastman tribes, stealing one more book meant a profit.

"Stop."

Suddenly, a stern shout came.

A dark yellow sword qi was unleashed into the air.

The beastman at the forefront was directly cut in half by the dark yellow sword qi, while the leather bag in his hand helplessly fell.

The spurting blood splattered the classics spilling out of the leather bag with drops of crimson.

The momentum of the dark yellow sword qi did not vanish and it continued to slash towards the few beastmen behind.

"Not good!"

The beastman leader Zavala roared furiously, the quill-like hard hair on his head standing up, muscles instantly filled with blood and swelling, turning his entire body red! He swung a bone hammer, smashing it towards the dark yellow sword qi.

Crack!

A cracking sound rang out, the dark yellow sword qi shattered.

And that bone hammer was also chipped, leaving countless bone fragments, its surface becoming pitted.

Zavala stepped back two steps, surprised: "There’s another master, who is it?"

Bai Pu walked out slowly between the bookshelves.

The Fighting Qi Slash just now was not a skill, but Bai Pu’s medium and long-range basic attack.

After cultivating the Advanced Fighting Qi Technique, Bai Pu’s Sandfall Fighting Qi became more pure and condensed. Not only could it extend to weapons, but it could also slash out Fighting Qi Waves, dealing medium and long-range damage.

The power was equivalent to Bai Pu’s ordinary attack, but it consumed more fighting qi, so it could only be used as a backup means.

In conventional battles, close combat was still more cost-effective.

"It’s you?"

Celestial Wolf and Xilou exclaimed simultaneously.

They naturally recognized Bai Pu.

"Who is this person? Is he the head of some department?"

Having just taken Bai Pu’s Fighting Qi Slash, Zavala felt Bai Pu was troublesome and asked in a low voice.

"Neither. He’s just a... student!" Xilou hurriedly answered.

The North Wind team had already promised that no director-level experts would interfere with their book theft.

This concerned the mutual trust between the North Wind team and the beastmen—achieving the trust of this group of beastmen as members of different species was not easy.

"He’s just a student?" Zavala looked skeptical, "Could he be a student from the front three sessions of War God Peak?"

Speaking, Zavala showed the bone hammer in his hand to Celestial Wolf and Xilou. It had a clear scratch on it, surrounded by dense cracks and dents, as if struck by strong gravel.

"He’s just a first-year student... his strength is decent." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Celestial Wolf had fought Bai Pu before, and until Bai Pu comprehended Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts at the Master Level, he had always suppressed Bai Pu, maintaining a psychological advantage.

Though Bai Pu, after breaking through his Mystical Arts again, unexpectedly gave Celestial Wolf a harsh lesson, Celestial Wolf also hadn’t used his ultimate move, considering his own carelessness.

Now with many people on their side, Celestial Wolf wasn’t nervous at all and directly initiated rank suppression!

A flash of blue light, Bai Pu felt the surrounding space was invaded by strange disturbance.

[Celestial Wolf used the rank of Black Iron Major against you, initiating rank suppression!]

[Your rank is: Lieutenant, suppression effective!]

[For (600) seconds, you cannot use any items or skills related to Spirit Realm transmission.]

"This person will be dealt with by us, you all continue moving books." Celestial Wolf smiled wickedly and said to Xilou, "You should still be able to use the Phantom Realm for a while, right? Now there’s no need for concern, let’s join forces and take this kid down right here!"

Xilou nodded, a slight glow flashed across his body as his somewhat downcast aura was revitalized, obviously having used the Honor Energy Potion.

The Phantom Realm opened, pulling Bai Pu inside, where everything turned into a gray blur, impossible to see clearly.

"Gangxin, you’re too arrogant, discovering us and not escaping! Now, you have no chance to escape!"

Celestial Wolf’s voice, ethereal and elusive, seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible to discern his position.

Bai Pu slightly shook his head and closed his eyes.

He raised the chainsaw greatsword and casually slashed out!

A booming explosion and a scream echoed as a beastman’s head soared into the air, its headless corpse collapsing powerlessly.

Simultaneously, Bai Pu’s chainsaw greatsword "Wind-Seeking" special effect activated, following the wind’s trajectory for a counter sweep!

Another scream sounded as another beastman was sliced open from bottom to top, its organs and blood spilling everywhere.

Zavala’s voice was heard in the Phantom Realm, slightly frantic: "Weren’t you supposed to deal with this person? My people are moving books, how could they be killed by him! Simli, does your Phantom Realm even work!"

"This guy... probably used the Master Level Earth Element Mystical Arts’ vibration sensing to determine your positions!"

Celestial Wolf’s voice, accompanied by intense vibrations and the sound of bookshelves collapsing, said, "Destroy the battlefield, create noise, confuse his vibration sensing!"

Bai Pu still kept his eyes closed, amidst the erratic vibrations on the ground, his hand fell with the sword, taking another life!

Meanwhile, Bai Pu grasped at the air, made a sniffing action.

Then spun around and swung his sword in a backhand strike!

Clang!

A resounding noise occurred as Celestial Wolf’s figure appeared, his face showing astonishment. His long saber collided with Bai Pu’s chainsaw greatsword.

"You... you can indeed see through the Phantom Realm! Damn it, how did you do that!"

Celestial Wolf found it outrageous, even he couldn’t see through the Phantom Realm.

Bai Pu remained expressionless, holding his greatsword horizontally to block the bone hammer flying from the side. Beastman leader Zavala, seeing the unfavorable situation, didn’t have time to move books and now joined the battle.

Actually, it was the scent of the wind that informed Bai Pu of the spots where the enemy’s presence was strongest.

Bai Pu relied on the Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts’ trait of breaking through defenses, mindlessly slashing towards the spots with the strongest sense of the enemy’s presence. Even if he couldn’t hit vital points like the neck or heart, it didn’t matter. Even if he struck the opponent’s bone armor, the Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts could shatter the corresponding part of the armor, causing damage!

Bai Pu did not answer, and Celestial Wolf did not expect a response. He replied irritably: "Xilou, come out! Your Phantom Realm is being countered, quickly withdraw it, and let’s team up to take down this kid!"

The Phantom Realm dispersed, Xilou held a dagger and crouched forward.

There immediately formed a scene of Zavala, Celestial Wolf, and Xilou, three experts joining forces to besiege Bai Pu! Surrounding them were some beastmen, who having lost their companions, watched menacingly.

These beastmen were no longer in a hurry to move books, they wanted to kill Bai Pu first.
