Fang Yuan's injuries were severe. If he was hit by Ju Kai Bei's Three Elephant Dragon Strength, it would mean death! Currently, Ju Kai Bei was in a dominant position. If Fang Yuan was caught in melee range, things would definitely take a turn for the worse.
But unfortunately, Fang Yuan's movement speed was inferior to Ju Kai Bei's. Unless he had a powerful long-range attack to restrain Ju Kai Bei.
"Fang Zheng, you have lost." Ju Kai Bei strode forward. He knew Fang Yuan had a Blood Moon Gu in his hand. But how could such a weak long-range attack block his advance?
Ordinary long-range attacks simply couldn't stop him. Looking at the entire arena, only Yan Tu's Flame Sea Twin Flood Dragon Kill could block his Giant Spirit Transformation's assault.
"Fang Zheng is going to lose!"
"It seems that in this battle, Ju Kai Bei is the victor."
"The older, the tougher..."
The crowd outside was discussing animatedly. The overall situation was already very clear.
"Sigh..." Wei Yang let out a long sigh.
Shang Xin Ci couldn't help but close her eyes.
Bai Ning Bing's gaze also dimmed.
"Hehehe." Yan Tu let out a light laugh. As soon as Fang Yuan was defeated, Shang Yan Fei's mission would be complete!
Unless Fang Yuan possessed a powerful long-range combat ability that could stop Ju Kai Bei's approach.
However...
The vast majority of Strength Path Gu Masters were close-range fighters. Their long-range attacks were very weak, usually just for show. This was a common shortcoming for Strength Path Gu Masters these days, making them extremely easy to counter.
Many of Yan Tu's fierce battles against Ju Kai Bei relied on long-range combat to gain an advantage, followed by a hard-fought victory with a slim margin.
Other battles ended in his defeat because he failed to restrain Ju Kai Bei, allowing him to get close for a melee fight.
Long-range versus close-range. This was the key to fighting a Strength Path Gu Master, even the decisive factor!
"It's over." Ju Kai Bei was already very close to Fang Yuan. Many people sighed in regret.
But at this moment, a faint smile bloomed on Fang Yuan's lips.
A sharp glint suddenly burst from his deep black eyes. It was time!
Eight massive illusory figures abruptly rose behind him.
Then he activated his Gu worm and gently pointed forward.
The Snow Silver Primeval Essence in his aperture plummeted suddenly, consuming a full forty percent in an instant!
A certain miraculous change occurred. The Beast Strength Phantoms, which were originally mere manifestations of Dao patterns, suddenly swelled, transforming from virtual into reality.
The phantoms turned into real shadows!
Wild Boar, Brown Bear, Crocodile, Black Ox, Steed, Stone Tortoise, White Elephant, Black Python. With a thunderous bang, they descended from the sky and fiercely pounced towards Ju Kai Bei.
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
The reversal was so sudden. A moment ago, Ju Kai Bei seemed to already see the scene of Fang Yuan admitting defeat under his fist. But the next moment, eight beast shadows were charging at him from all directions, surrounding him tightly!
Wild Boar charged, Brown Bear swiped. Crocodile bit, Black Ox gored. Steed trampled, Stone Tortoise crushed, White Elephant swung its tusks, Black Python constricted!
Bang bang bang...
Roar roar roar...
Boom boom boom...
The eight beast shadows, as if completely mad and deranged, launched a ferocious and utterly violent assault on Ju Kai Bei!
Dust and earth flew everywhere as rocks shattered. Ju Kai Bei was tightly surrounded by the eight beast shadows, viciously beaten and thrashed in the center!
Attacks came from every direction. Ju Kai Bei's massive body, swollen to three times its normal size, became the perfect punching bag.
The Ivory White Armor covering his body quickly couldn't hold on. It cracked, white shards flying everywhere. The areas that didn't break were also covered in dense cracks.
Countless pairs of eyes simultaneously went wide. Countless jaws dropped, everyone staring at this scene in absolute shock.
Among the nearly thousand Gu Masters spectating the battle, not a single one uttered a sound. They all watched, dumbfounded, as the eight frenzied beast shadows engulfed Ju Kai Bei.
After a short while, the eight beast shadows dissipated, turning from real to virtual, vanishing into nothingness.
The dust settled slowly. Ju Kai Bei knelt on one knee, his arms shielding his head, panting heavily.
"Did I finally withstand it?" He slowly lowered his arms and raised his head to look at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was holding two Primeval Stones, restoring his Primeval Essence as fast as possible.
With his A-grade talent and the Heaven's Essence Treasure Lotus, he could now use two minds to simultaneously absorb two Primeval Stones. The Primeval Essence in his aperture had already recovered to seventy percent.
Seeing this, the corner of Ju Kai Bei's eye involuntarily twitched.
He unclenched his jaw and spat out blood and broken teeth.
Intense pain came from all over his body, making his head spin and his ears ring.
He had been beaten badly.
"If I hadn't fully activated the Ivory White Armor Gu, I would probably be unconscious by now..." Ju Kai Bei felt a lingering fear. But by doing so, his Golden Primeval Essence was almost completely depleted.
He had never expected such a turn of events. When he tried to retreat using the Dragon Step Tiger Walk Gu, it was already too late.
The eight beast shadows had tightly surrounded him, leaving him no way to escape.
Ju Kai Bei initially estimated that he had at least dozens of broken bones throughout his body. He could only choose to treat some of the most critical injuries. His Golden Primeval Essence was running low.
