Ixtal had used up so many trump cards in order to exhaust the Martial Animal. Who could have imagined that it would end up benefiting Ezra Zephyr!
"Kill him!" Howled Ixtal. Behind him, several Core Formation stage prided geniuses looked at Ezra with hostility.
However, the prince ignored them. He did a backflip, disappearing into the lake as a faint voice echoed, "Musclehead, this is your only chance to kill me, you will regret later for not hunting me now!"
When Ezra jumped, the dead body of Razor Pearl Eagle vanished as well, stored in his cave bracelet.
Ixtal paid no heed and dashed towards Ezra. At that very moment, Ixtal and his squad felt powerful entities coming towards them. He halted and prepared himself for every possible scenario.
Several dozen figures landed before Ixtal, blocking the path that leads to where Ezra jumped.
Eyes of Ixtal widened when a familiar face came and uttered. "Stop right there!" The one who spoke was Theor Galearms. His Loyal Crescent short swords glimmered as he unsheathed them.
But the eyes of Ixtal were fixed on the lady in armour, out of all, she seemed to wield the highest power.
When Ezra ordered them to come, they paid no heed and came straight towards him.

"Your majesty, what are your orders?" Asked Shifa.
Ezra stared at the 56 martial masters and asked, "Why you haven't reached at Core Formation stage yet? All of you were already at peak of the 7th level of the Qi Brightening Stage."
Hearing the question, every one of them looked at each other.
"Why are you silent?" The prince asked again.
"Your majesty, we had decided that none of us will break through before you reach the Core Formation stage" answered Theor.
The prince squinted his eyes. "And why is that?"
"Because if we breakthrough before our prince... others will find a reason to... mock you, your majesty." Said Theor as he lowered his head.
Ezra facepalmed. "How more stupid can you be? Get lost now, show your face when you reach at Core Formation stage" after saying that Ezra changed his gaze to inspect the battle.
They were already at the peak and were able to break through long ago but they intentionally controlled the Qi to not ascend to a higher stage before their prince.
The martial master exchanged a look and moved away after bowing to their prince.
That was the reason they came so late, currently, only 27 of them managed to break through and quickly came. The rest were in the process. All 27 of them were at the Core Formation stage.
Ixtal and the rest were bewildered. "I have gathered around 30 Core Formation experts from different kingdoms and few are even independent martial masters. How that single devastated Bloodfang Kingdom got so many geniuses? Something is not right." The Bearman pondered.
Meanwhile, Ezra was seated on a rock inside of a cave, his eyes lightly shut. The soul of Razor Pearl Eagle he had swallowed previously had already landed in his core and was currently giving off a seemingly endless stream of spiritual energy that was ultimately refined by Fenrir.
Ezra could feel the spiritual energy in his body growing more and more abundant as black bolts viciously thundered.
"It should be about time for the breakthrough."
Mumbled the prince to himself. He opened his eyes and cast a glance at the cave entrance which he had blocked with a giant rock, he believed that this was enough to ensure his safety.
There was no way that Ixtal would let this matter rest, and he would definitely lead a search in the cave area.
However, there were trusted subjects of the Bloodfang Kingdom facing him and the Spirity Beast squad won't be able to pass them.
The prince let out an icy chuckle. Without any further hesitation, he closed his eyes again and turned his attention towards the soul absorption, controlling the devouring power of Fenrir to devour every strand of Razor Pearl Eagle's powerful soul.

At the same time, Ixtal gazed at the vast area behind the Bloodfang Martial Masters, his expression white with anger. They were ready to engage with them, he knew that the current Spirity Beast squad is exhausted and the opponents are in top condition.
"Bastards!" Cracking sounds emerged from Ixtal's fists, the rage in his heart on the verge of making him turn crazy.
This was the first time he had been toyed with in such a manner, and it was even by a Qi Brightening stage trash!
"No need to worry, he cannot hide for long." Sky Lees consoled from the side. A vicious look flashed in her eyes as she said, "We can spread the news that Bloodfang Kingdom has obtained the treasures of a peak 2nd tier Martial Animal.
They are very few in numbers, and I'm sure that many people will soon become interested in them, they will eventually become the enemies of every genius in Spirity Bailiwick."
Ixtal suppressed his anger, his eyes narrowing slightly as he was watching the figures before him. In the end, he nodded his head. "Alright. Since he dares to snatch away what's mine, I will let him become the focus of everyone's attention and ensure he will no longer have any peace!
Besides this, I want to issue a bounty. Anyone that kills the prince of Bloodfang Kingdom Ezra Zephyr, will be rewarded 3 million spiritual crystals."
A savage smile was revealed on Ixtal's face as he said staring at Shifa Pista who was calmly guarding. "Inform the prince of Stripe Beast Empire about what Bloodfang garbage has done to us."
Once the bounty news and the report of this incident reached the Stripe Beast Empire's prince, Bloodfang martial masters will be plagued with an endless amount of trouble.
Sky Lees nodded with a slight smile. She lifted her gaze and looked towards the opponents as she pondered. "Ezra might think that playing fisherman was fun, but little did he know how much trouble was waiting for him once the fisherman was exposed.
If he wanted to blame someone, he should blame his own lack of intelligence to pick the right enemies. So weak and yet still daring to seize the treasure of us, Stripe Beast Empire"
While the two were conversing at a distance away from Bloodfang's martial masters, they suddenly sensed a strange disturbance from high up in the sky.
