Chapter 115: A New Force Stands Up

Xiang Sa twitched his long trunk and exhaled, then roared authoritatively at the opposite side: "Outsiders, I advise you to leave my territory now; I can forgive you and not kill you."

Except for this Flower Leopard, the others aren't even qualified to get a glance from him.

Even though Xiang Sa is a bit wary of the powerful Flower Leopard, he spots his equally strong younger brother Xiang Zhuang beside him; the two taking on one isn't without a chance of victory, and it's at least better than fleeing with his trunk hanging in defeat…

"If you leave from here now, I can allocate you two streets with wells, and I won't collect protection fees during the dry season, allowing you to settle under my domain."

If we can win them over, our force gains another fierce beast!

The Flower Leopard stepped lightly a few paces left and right, displaying the feline grace and agility; the ground gave no tremor, its supple, luminous coat smoother than moonlight, and without striking, one can sense the terrifying power it contains.

Behind him, the male beasts formed a black mass darker than night; now they are certainly more than the six hundred Beastfolk, and after days of expansion, their numbers have reached over three thousand.

Only the original few followed, while the rest are outside blocking the Beastfolk on Xiang Sa's side.

Hua Zheng remained silent.

Xiang Sa didn't feel slighted or defiant; he always thinks long-term, and when the ferocious Flower Leopard attacked, his mind shifted, finding a path from the crisis to greater glory.

Not agreeing to leave?

Xiang Sa lifted his long trunk upward, facing the Flower Leopard, and offered another proposition: "After you settle, my brother and I can join forces with you to seize all four factions in the city; what do you think?"

After speaking, the Flower Leopard gave no reply, its teasing eyes sweeping over; a deep, cold voice from above his head said, "Not really."

Xiang Sa and those behind him jumped in shock, abruptly looking up at the Flower Leopard's eyes, only to see a tiny figure perched atop the dominant Flower Leopard's head.

With a male beast's keen sight, they could see the figure clad in a black robe, a palm‑wide black belt shaping a straight, powerful waist; though his face was hidden, his voice alone commanded an unmistakable, overwhelming presence.

A pale, long hand hanging at his side gripped a long blade as long as him, its blade broad; he lightly tapped the Flower Leopard's ear, causing it to lower its head slightly, its two golden‑brown eyes narrowing, becoming more aggressive.

What kind of Beastfolk could command this mighty Flower Leopard male beast?

Xiang Sa: "!!"

His fur was unusually tough, a massive sense of danger coursing through him, and for the first time, without even seeing the opponent's Beast Form, he shouted for him to run away quickly!

Run quickly!

At this moment, Xiang Zhuang shared the same thought, yet his limbs felt as if glued to the ground, heavy and unable to move.

The massive gray elephant, the Flower Leopard no smaller in size, and four‑meter‑tall beasts everywhere, with yellow sand swirling in the wind, a sky devoid of moonlight, only the green glow emitted by the fierce beasts; the male beasts' silhouettes seemed like creatures from the Jurassic dinosaur era.

Under a silent stare, Mo Lie looked at Xiang Sa with a half‑smile.

The next instant, the oppressive aura from his body burst outward, instantly overwhelming the presence of every male beast there; the innate noble bloodline's pressure made the weaker male beasts' legs go soft and kneel on the spot.

The group of male beasts behind Xiang Sa changed expression, eyes filled with terror, and heard the cold voice say:

"Those who submit to me, I will not kill."

The male beasts behind Xiang Sa instantly reverted to human form, indicating their willingness to submit.

They are also male beasts who often fight to the death, but have never faced a deterrent as terrifying as this; a single glance made it clear that confronting him was essentially a death sentence.

Ignoring Xiang Sa and Xiang Zhuang's death‑staring, the male beasts mutinied on the spot; which subordinate wouldn't? Why risk death!

That's what they thought, and Xiang Sa clearly understood these people were useless.

Xiang Sa's face turned black.

The opponent had, without his knowledge, swallowed his subordinates' small force, leaving him with few usable people, clearly eyeing the position of the Xicheng Qu boss, having meticulously plotted.

His power had earlier been heavily reduced in secret; now even his loyal subordinates had defected, but fortunately his brother was still there.

Facing the formidable outsider who had consolidated his own forces, he was scared, but even more terrified of suddenly losing his own authority!

Xiang Sa, still bearing the oppressive pressure, reverted to human form, thought of the only solution, and said, "Kuangsha City has its own rules; since you want my position, you must earn it with your own abilities."

That was exactly Mo Lie's plan.

He slightly narrowed his eyes: "Hmm."

Xiang Sa: "My brother and I will go together; you also transform into Beast Form."

Mo Lie coldly replied: "No need; to deal with you, my human form is sufficient."

The surrounding crowd: "!!"

What? Using a human form to challenge a gray elephant weighing at least ten thousand jin?

In that instant, even the newly arrived outsider, despite displaying his own might, could not defeat a tower‑like gray elephant with a tiny human form.

Soon, regardless of their shock, the internal power struggle in Xicheng Qu began.

All male beasts roared in support, watching the Flower Leopard and the black‑clad leader atop its head, as the former leader's two gray elephants entered the open ground and began to clash.

This was a combat arena reserved for male beasts in Beast Form, a massive compacted circular arena in the center, surrounded by several rings of spectator stands.

Amid everyone's shouts, after several exchanges, Mo Lie had already seen through the two gray elephants' coordinated attack method.

Mo Lie's cold blue eyes flashed with a hint of excited madness as the two gray elephants rushed in with a flanking assault.

He gripped his long blade, advancing without retreat, leapt lightly into the air, then used his diving momentum to crash into the gray elephant—

Xiang Sa's heart suddenly stopped.

He saw a bone‑blade flashing coldly near his eyes, its light slashing across his weakest neck and driving hard into his shoulder.

A wave of pain radiated from the joint, and Xiang Sa clearly understood that his fore‑leg bones were injured and immobile, causing him to almost instantly revert to human form.

He fell to the ground, and on the other side, Xiang Zhuang, terrified, was easily pinned under the Flower Leopard's mouth.

Silence fell, and after the quiet, a roar louder than before echoed through the arena.

The black‑haired male beast in the center had his hand hanging to the side, his elbow twisted unnaturally; he pulled his own arm and, expressionless, snapped it back with a click.

Mo Lie did not retrieve the blade still lodged in Xiang Sa's shoulder; a faint smile curled his lips as he calmly said to Hua Zheng, "You stay behind, handling the takeover of the Wind Erosion Gang."
