Dense killing intent flowed through the atmosphere as Damien and the tribe leader glared at each other.

Taking a slight glance at Ruyue, he saw her nodding back at him. She understood his intentions clearly. 

'I'll take the big boss, you finish off the goons.'

Panning her gaze across the scene in front of her, she saw ten 3rd class snow leopards staring back at her. Seeing this, she pursed her lips.

'This guy is really making me do all the hard work.'

Still, she shook her head with a smile and prepared for combat.

In the next instant, thunderous booms rang out in the surroundings as Damien and the tribe leader shot towards each other at full speed.

Bang!

The sharp claws of the tribe leader met Damien's outstretched fist, causing the ground around them to crack and splinter. Droves of mana poured out and clashed along with their impact, causing both of them to fly back.

It was only after taking tens of steps that they managed to stabilize themselves. In their first clash, neither was able to obtain an advantage.

With a solemn gaze, Damien vanished from his position before arriving at the tribe leader's side, sending a punch towards his ribs.

But the tribe leader wasn't a leopard known for speed for no reason. He swiftly maneuvered his body to turn at an impossible angle before swiping his claw back towards Damien. 

Vanishing once again, Damien appeared at the opposite side of the tribe leader's body, grabbing the air in front of him and making a twisting motion.

Space followed his command, twisting and distorting around the tribe leader, causing a massive pressure to land on his shoulders.

Roar!

A furious roar left his throat. The deep snow underneath their feet shot upwards and formed a blizzard around the two, before the snow suddenly melted and sharpened into shards of ice that orbited the tribe leader. Damien watched those shards intently. Any one of them could cause severe damage if he let them hit his vitals.

The second the blizzard covered Damien and the tribe leader's figures and isolated their battle, the others in the area snapped out of their dazes.

While the tribe leader takes care of the boy, they'll take care of the girl. With such thoughts in mind, they grouped together and pounced towards Ruyue. 

Similar blizzards to that of the tribe leader formed around them and compacted, turning into thick white armor that encased their figures. If one were to look at these leopards now, they'd think they were sculptures rather than true living beings.

Ruyue glared into the massive blizzard when she saw this sight. This guy truly didn't let her off east, making her deal with the crowd. After all, even if he called them goons, they were genuine 3rd class beings. 

A shining white spear appeared in her hands its aura coupling with her own and multiplying. Once again, dense killing intent filled the atmosphere.

Although Ruyue couldn't compare with Damien, it had been almost 2 weeks since they had entered the 3000 Beast Mountain Range and she had her fair share of bloody battles during that time.

Damien made it explicitly clear that he wouldn't be helping her brave all dangers, and she also agreed. The killing intent she had formed was proof of her hard work.

Suddenly, the space behind her trembled and a massive moon appeared. Lunar energy coated the atmosphere, forming a dense fog. 

Ruyue charged, locating her first target. The fog in the atmosphere not only served to separate her enemies, but also confused their senses. When she appeared behind the snow leopard, it was a second too late in realizing the danger.

She swung her spear in a sweeping motion, aiming for the leopard's legs. The moment it made contact, bloody gashes were formed in its wake.

Roar!

The leopard finally realized what was going on and turned to face her, immediately sending a blast of icy wind in her direction. But Ruyue wasn't confused like it was. She immediately reacted, bursting to the right with trails of blue fire coating the ground below her.

She once again appeared next to the leopard, stabbing into its side. Yin natured mana coated her spear tip as it thrust into the leopard.

When the mana entered the leopard's body, it was as if it truly became a statue. Not every member of the Turbulent Blizzard Leopard tribe was able to form the snow armor, and this one happened to be one of those. 

Without its protection, Ruyue's mana thoroughly infiltrated its body and wreaked havoc within. The leopard convulsed with fear evident in its eyes before falling limp on the ground.

Luckily, the remaining crowd was mostly made up of those at lower levels than her. There were only 3 that she had to stay wary of. So before those 3 were able to regroup, she had to finish off the rest.

With a slight grin on her face, she located her next prey and stalked it. 

Meanwhile, the battle within the tribe leader's blizzard was becoming more and more fierce. The space within some areas was twisted and bent, while others were rapidly mending. Two flashes of light continuously clashed and retreated without giving the other side any openings.

Even until this point, neither side had used any massive attacks, instead opting to use physical strength to compete. After all, although they had grudges, their battle had also allowed them to form a sort of respect.

Due to this respect, they had no desire to humiliate or torture the other party. 

Fists clashed against claws, kicks connected to ribs, fangs clamped down on anything they could grab hold of. The battle was brutal yet simple.

Boom!

Once again, Damien's foot shot out like a whip and impacted the tribe leader's face, throwing him to the side. Damien immediately appeared before him and slammed his fist down. 

The tribe leader's head impacted the thickly condensed snow on the ground and caused a major indent. When he stood up again, he could no longer stand straight. A massive gash was present on his head, and even pieces of his skull could be seen.

"What is wrong with you?" Damien asked between labored breaths.

"What do you mean?" The tribe leader responded.

"You know damn well what I mean. This can't be the limits of your strength, and no matter how much you respect me, I refuse to believe you've set aside your thoughts of vengeance for the sake of this battle."

A grin appeared on the tribe leader's face. With his current injuries, it looked terrifying. "And why should I tell you that? The only thing you need to know is that I will perish with my clan. Do not think of ending this battle before one of us is dead."

"One of us? Did you become blind after that last hit?"

Damien's words might've been harsh, but they contained undeniable truth. Unlike the tribe leader, Damien had a high-level regeneration skill. No matter how many injuries he had piled up during the fight, they had all been healed. And they would continue to heal as long as he had mana.

Damien couldn't understand where the tribe leader got his confidence from. It was already clear who the winner of this fight was.

But the tribe leader didn't stop grinning. "Come, if you are so confident, then let's end this farce."
