Whether he didn't notice Yunhai's gaze or simply didn't want to pay attention, the man in the straw hat turned slightly to the side, completely ignoring Yunhai.

Seeing this, Yunhai had no choice but to look away.

Although he was repelled by the golden light, the muscular man did not give up.

His gaze sharpened, and his entire figure shot out again, instantly appearing in front of the little guy. His fist whistled down, carrying a violent force as it hurtled towards the little guy.

The little guy's eyes darkened, and golden light reappeared around him, forming a barrier in front of him that firmly blocked the punch.

Despite having his punch blocked, the muscular man was not discouraged at all. He snorted coldly, "I'll see how long you can hold out!"

After he finished speaking, his gaze darkened, and his aura began to surge wildly, flowing around him like streams of water.

As that aura surged, the muscular man's aura exploded, and boundless power began to expand, causing the void around him to tremble.

Then the muscular man leaped up and crashed into the barrier like a storm.

Each punch was so powerful that it created a gust of wind, and so fast that only afterimages of the fist could be seen.

As the fists continued to pound down, a tornado suddenly appeared around the muscular man, causing everyone's robes to flutter.

Even from a distance, Yunhai could feel the immense power emanating from that being, and he was quite shocked. "This is the body cultivation of the highest realm? It's outrageous!"

He was glad he had invited the muscular man this time.

Otherwise, if he were alone, the Demonic Path would surely be completely outmatched by the little guy's divine power.

The outcome is obvious; he will be beaten to a pulp without any chance of resistance.

Under the onslaught of countless powerful punches, the little guy's brows furrowed slightly, and golden light emanated from his body, continuously strengthening the barrier.

After a barrage of attacks, the muscular man unleashed another powerful punch, the violent force causing the barrier to tremble slightly, but it still failed to break through.

Such prolonged exertion of force left even the muscular man somewhat fatigued.

He glanced at the barrier and saw that it still showed no signs of cracking, so he had no choice but to retreat to a safe distance.

Then he looked at the little guy and said, "It's really exciting that you have such strong abilities at your age!"

As he spoke, his expression became somewhat manic.

But then his gaze turned icy cold. "You have to be strong to inspire the desire to destroy others!"

Having said that, he roared, "Asura True Body! First Level!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura began to surge violently, golden light flickered in his eyes, and endless power surged around him. The powerful aura caused the ground beneath his feet to shatter.

As the endless aura surged forth, his body began to swell, gradually expanding, his muscles growing at a visible speed, instantly tearing his clothes apart.

His already robust body suddenly became like a small mountain after that surge of power.

He then pushed off with one foot, his body shooting out instantly, the ground he had just been standing on cracking open with that kick.

After his size increased, his speed not only did not decrease, but increased significantly. In the blink of an eye, he had already reached the little guy. He raised his fist high and slammed it down, his fist landing on the barrier with violent force.

This punch was incredibly powerful, its force boundless like a vast ocean, violently impacting the barrier and instantly causing it to tremble.

Sensing the power of the attack, the little guy frowned. "This guy can actually activate his true form?"

Physical cultivation is extremely arduous, and few people can persevere in such training.

Each time a physical body is strengthened, it requires a huge amount of spiritual energy to temper it, making it much more difficult for body cultivators to become stronger than for other cultivators.

Strengthening the physical body to the point where one can unlock the true form is even more difficult; even a talented body cultivator might not be able to achieve it even after hundreds of years.

The fact that this muscular man could do that shows his strength is not to be underestimated.

A punch landed, and the barrier only rippled slightly. The muscular man was stunned. "It withstood that?"

He thought that a punch of that strength would be enough to break through the barrier with just one blow, but he never expected that the barrier would be so hard.

But then the muscular man snorted coldly, "However, even if you can withstand one punch, can you withstand a hundred?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised both hands and his fists rained down on the barrier like a storm.

Each punch was delivered with the power of his true form, its strength vastly different from before. Each strike caused the barrier to tremble violently, appearing on the verge of collapse.

The little guy frowned, and the light around him kept surging towards the barrier, but under that fierce attack, a crack still appeared on the barrier.

Upon seeing this, the muscular man's eyes flickered slightly. "Oh, it's broken?"

He then sneered, "Since that's the case, then let's just crack it open!"

After he finished speaking, he increased the speed at which he swung his fist.

Only afterimages of arms appeared, fists pounding the barrier with tremendous force.

Under the relentless impact of that immense force, the barrier finally gave way and shattered.

The fist unleashed a torrent of energy, sending the little guy tumbling backward.

Seeing this, the muscular man smirked, "It's broken, finally broken!"

The little guy rolled around on the ground a few times before stopping. He got up, brushed the dust off himself, and was fine.

It's just that I've used up a lot of spiritual energy, so I feel a bit tired.

The little guy glared at the group and said, "So many of you are bullying a child! That's unethical!"

The muscular man scoffed, "I only care about killing my enemies. As for morality, I've never heard of it!"

The man in the straw hat lowered his gaze slightly upon seeing this, but remained silent.

Yunhai's expression was quite complicated. "I was originally prepared for a one-on-one fight, but I almost got beaten to death by you, kid."

Even if it was for the sake of his apprentice's revenge, he still wanted to eliminate the little guy alone.

But I never expected that the little guy, despite his small size, would be so powerful.

The little guy frowned, a rare flash of anger appearing in his big eyes. "Fine! You were the ones who called for reinforcements first, so don't blame me!"

Yunhai's eyes flickered slightly as he turned to look at Xiaoyao, who was fighting the skeletons outside the barrier. "Call for help? You mean him?"

The little guy didn't answer. Instead, he pulled a black stone from his pocket, threw it into the air, and shouted, "I'm here!"

The stone struck the top of the barrier and then exploded violently, creating a dazzling burst of sparks.

Yunhai looked at the shimmering golden sky, his expression full of confusion. "A signal?"

As soon as the words fell, an extremely violent aura suddenly appeared in the sky, shaking the entire void as if some terrifying being was about to descend.

Then came a voice that resounded through the heavens, "Who bullied my brother?!"

Everyone looked up and saw a small figure holding a long sword appear in the air.
