The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5408

Thastrum frowned in obvious disdain. "Real men don't fight women. Send a man out to face me!"

"Thastrum, don't underestimate her!" Leonel warned quickly. "That female demonic cultivator doesn't look ordinary."

The cultivators watching midway up the mountain erupted in shouts. "Thastrum, don't chicken out! Kill that female demonic cultivator!"

"Doesn't matter if it's a man or woman. If she's a demonic cultivator, she must die!"

"Hurry up! Don't make level six look weak!"

Lilith heard the crowd's jeers but did not get angry. Instead, a strange smile curved her lips. "Since everyone's so impatient, I'll play with Mr. Sandoval."

She lifted the black flute in her hand. Her voice was soft and seductive, but cold at the edge. "I'm Lilith. I'll test Mr. Sandoval's strength."

Thastrum scowled. "If you won't behave, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Golden spiritual energy swirled around him as he prepared for battle.

Lilith, however, did not move to attack. She brought the black flute to her lips and began to play. The melody floated softly at first, then twisted with a strange demonic power, reaching the crowd and making many cultivators dizzy and disoriented.

"Something's wrong with that music!" Infinides shouted, his face paling.

"Everyone, circulate your spiritual energy to protect your minds!" The cultivators quickly responded, forming protective shields around themselves.

Thastrum, standing in the center of the battlefield, felt the flute's power hit him first. His mind swirled, and his spiritual energy became sluggish and unsteady.

"Cowardly trick!" he roared, forcing his focus back and leaping toward Lilith.

"Gold Cloud Fist. Second form. Gold Sweeper!" he shouted.

Golden fist shadows surged forward like a violent wind, aiming straight for Lilith.

She remained calm, moving as lightly as drifting leaves, letting every strike miss her by a hair.

"Thastrum! Wake up!" Aurelius shouted urgently from the ranks.

Yuliana clenched her fists tightly, her eyes full of worry.

The cultivators halfway up the mountain tensed as well, holding their breath as they focused on Thastrum in the middle of the battlefield.

Just as Thastrum was about to be completely swallowed by the illusion, a loud, booming laugh rang out. "Ha! Thastrum, you're useless! You're defeated by a female cultivator?"

At the same moment, a figure struck the battlefield like a bolt of thunder.

Tall and imposing, his upper body human but his lower body that of a tiger, with two golden horns sprouting from his head. He was the top-ranked beast race genius in the Martial Rankings, Half-Beast King Imorn!

Thastrum's vision cleared instantly upon hearing the laugh and seeing Half-Beast King Imorn, a flash of irritation crossing his face. "Half-Beast King Imorn? What are you doing here?"

Half-Beast King Imorn patted Thastrum's shoulder, teasing. "Of course, I came to save you. Otherwise, you'd be done for today. Step back now. Don't embarrass yourself here."
