"I'll do it.
I'll stop a 9th stage Body Tempering Stage spirit beast. "
Li Mo spoke in a flat tone. He couldn't hold back now.
If the lips died, the teeth would be interdependent. If the tribesmen died, Li Mo wouldn't be able to escape the horde of spirit beasts.
With Eggy's help and his long time training, Li Mo's battle prowess wouldn't lose to a 9th stage Body Tempering Stage spirit beast despite being in the 6th stage.
"You?"
The tribesmen looked doubtfully at Li Mo. They didn't think he could stop a 9th stage Body Tempering Stage spirit beast.
But a few flashed, afraid Li Mo would go back on his word.
"Then let Li Mo stop one."
"Yeah, I think Li Mo can do it."
Who wouldn't want someone to die in their place?
The hunting squad also had four 8th stage Body Tempering Stage warriors. They looked at each other then stood up and apologized to Li Mo. "Li Mo, it's your fault." Li Mo frowned.
"Brother Li Mo, I was wrong in the past. I hope you won't take it to heart."
"Old sport Li Mo, if you survive today, I'll be sure to drink with you!"
"Leave the last 9th stage Body Tempering Stage spirit beast to the four of us!"
"Alright!"
Li Mo nodded, but in his heart he was muttering.
"That crappy wine tastes so bad. Let's forget about having a good drink."
"Vile beast!"
In this short period of time, Mose and the bull had already exchanged blows.
Mose's heavy fist collided with the bull's hoof.
However, the bull's body did not move at all after the blow, but Mose took seven or eight steps back before he could stabilize his footing.
They were both 9th stage Body Tempering Stage warriors, but Mo Sang wasn't the bull's match in terms of strength.
But Mo Sang was an old leader of the hunting squad, so his battle experience wasn't lacking.
Not to mention, Mo Sang had seen Li Mo beat the strong two times as the weak, so he followed suit.
In truth, Mo Sang's big body wasn't good at speed.
But it depended on who he was competing against. If he were to compete against Li Mo, Li Mo's speed and agility would crush Mo Sang.
However, compared to this bull, Mose was indeed much 'slimmer'.
Therefore, Mose kept dodging the bull's attacks. When he encountered an attack that he really couldn't avoid, Mose would bite the bullet and fight it head-on.
From the looks of it, Mose could really stall the bull for a while.
As for Li Mo, he found the other ninth stage Body Tempering Stage spiritual beast Mose mentioned.
In fact, it was very easy to find them. After all, the stronger the spirit beast, the stronger its size and aura would be.
As for the other members of the hunting team, they were also fighting with the water buffaloes.
Apart from the three Body Tempering Stage level nine spirit beasts and the dozen or so Body Tempering Stage level six or seven water buffaloes, the rest of the water buffaloes were nothing to worry about.
With Mo Sang and Li Mo holding off the 9th stage Body Tempering Stage spirit beast, the other humans weren't at a disadvantage.
"Moo!"
Li Mo's red eyed buffalo roared. It lowered its head, but it didn't admit defeat. Instead, it flashed its horns.
Its sharp horn carried waves of spiritual qi as it charged at Li Mo.
Li Mo, who was much smaller than the water buffalo, had no intention of dodging. Only a rolling blue qi appeared in Li Mo's palm.
The spiritual qi in Li Mo's palm was even thicker than the one in the 9th stage Body Tempering Stage buffalo's horn.
It was hard to imagine that such thick spiritual qi came from a 6th stage Body Tempering Stage human.
"Cheetah Claw!"
As Li Mo's voice faded, the spiritual qi in his palm turned into a cheetah claw and wrapped around Li Mo's palm.
Li Mo's hand grabbed the horn.
"Bang!"
Like two huge beasts crashing into each other, Li Mo and the water buffalo remained motionless, in a deadlock.
Li Mo's strength was much lower than the water buffalo's, but don't forget that Li Mo's spiritual qi was thicker than the water buffalo's.
And with a cultivation method to make up for it, Li Mo and the water buffalo's power wasn't that far apart.
"Moo!"
As if this human offended its prestige, the water buffalo bellowed and lifted its hoof, kicking Li Mo with waves of spiritual qi.
But this time, Li Mo had no intention of fighting it head on. Li Mo withdrew his palm and retreated, causing the water buffalo's attack to miss.
Li Mo knew that his spiritual qi was thicker and his cheetah claw was stronger.
But this made Li Mo's cheetah claw even more taxing.
So Li Mo didn't want to waste his energy on the water buffalo.
The water buffalo had no idea what Li Mo was thinking. It snorted two puffs of white smoke as it angrily charged at Li Mo.
The water buffalo charged through the air while Li Mo raised his spear.
Li Mo's hands tightened on the spear as he watched the water buffalo cautiously.
Just as the water buffalo was about to reach Li Mo, Li Mo jumped.
Li Mo's skinny body spun around a few times before riding on the buffalo.
Then spiritual qi appeared in Li Mo's hands, wrapping around the iron spearhead to stab the water buffalo's back.
Li Mo knew the iron spearhead couldn't pierce the thick hide, since it was a 9th stage Body Tempering stage spiritual beast's hide.
But with the help of spiritual qi, the result would be different.
With a few popping sounds, the sharp spearhead wrapped in spiritual qi stabbed at a spot on the water buffalo's back.
Soon enough, the buffalo's thick hide was pierced and flesh flew. Crimson blood splashed Li Mo's fur coat and his face.
A spiritual beast's blood also had spiritual qi, so Li Mo felt his face burn.
"Moo!"
As if in pain, the water buffalo jumped up and down. It dashed across the grassland, wanting to throw Li Mo off.
Li Mo lost his balance on the buffalo's back and jumped.
But in midair, Li Mo adjusted his position and landed on the water buffalo's back.
At the same time, spiritual qi surged in Li Mo's hands.
"Cheetah Claw!"
With that, Li Mo landed on the water buffalo's back.
But this time, Li Mo's arm replaced the spear. The cheetah claw clawed at the wound on the water buffalo's back.
Without the hide's protection, the cheetah claw dug into the water buffalo's body, sinking half of Li Mo's arm into the water buffalo's body.
"Moo!"
The water buffalo howled at the sky in pain. Its howl was filled with helplessness.
It couldn't be helped. No matter how strong a 9th stage Body Tempering stage spiritual beast was, it couldn't grab its back like a human could, could it?
Li Mo's hand rummaged through the buffalo's body and soon found its bones.
This was the water buffalo's spine. Li Mo's eyes shone when he touched it. He grabbed the spine and exerted force.
With a crack, the water buffalo's spine was crushed.
The water buffalo knelt on the ground in pain, its paralyzed body unable to move for a long time.
