The tension at Cai Market grew more palpable. The five-layer array set up by An Gang showed signs of collapsing even before half a day had passed.
The Human Bear Deceit Beast radiated an almost tangible menace. Everyone knew that An Gang wouldn't be able to handle the Beast Calamity in such a short time.
The casualties on the Beast Cultivators' side began to escalate.
The buildings were in ruins, with broken walls and rubble everywhere. Had the frontlines not required holding, some cultivators would have already attempted to flee into Cai Market.
Xu Hu had no time to care for others, locked as he was in a relentless struggle with Yuan Ti True Monarch.
What puzzled him was that Yuan Ti True Monarch clearly held the advantage, yet showed no intention of delivering a finishing blow, instead pulling punches repeatedly.
At first, Xu Hu thought it was due to some issue with Yuan Ti True Monarch's spiritual wisdom.
