The battle had ended before it even began.
Ruan Xiong never imagined, until his death, that despite both being at the Eighth-Layer Golden Core, he couldn't withstand even three moves against Zhouyang.
Zhouyang's Minor Achievement level "Silent Extinction Soul-Burning Divine Light" was nearly unbeatable against Golden Core Stage cultivators who hadn't prepared specific countermeasures.
Even a powerful Eighth-Layer Golden Core cultivator like Ruan Xiong, after being hit, couldn't showcase any skills before Zhouyang easily decapitated him with his flying sword.
However, what Zhouyang did not expect was that after Ruan Xiong's death, the Water-Resistant Golden-Eyed Beast, which had initially lunged at him, suddenly turned around with a look of rapture, pouncing towards Ruan Xiong's corpse.
Something's wrong!
Zhouyang's expression changed, and the flying sword that had decapitated Ruan Xiong was immediately directed back to slash at the Water-Resistant Golden-Eyed Beast.
