Jiang Yun Long saw the rhino’s frustration and anxiety, and he naturally knew how he should handle the situation.
The number of Beast Spirits were numerous in the Spirit World, and they were highly cohesive. If they knew the brown bear’s identity, then they would surely band together and attack. Even he would not be able to withstand the concerted assault from so many Beast Spirits. But Jiang Yun Long was craftily obfuscated Brownie’s identity, causing those Beast Spirits to be unable to make a proper judgement.
“If what I say is not right, you can ask that brown bear to speak up and explain for itself. If it can clear up the air here, I will then apologise and admit my mistake here, and allow all of you to go.” Jiang Yun Long put his words across generously, but the venom brewing deep within his eyes would send chills up one’s back.
The rhino and the other Beast Spirits were becoming more and more anxious, and Brownie who was shielded by all of them was becoming more restless. It was stomping its feet upon the ground incessantly, its mouth open as if it was trying to say something, but all that came out from its jaws was just that same roar.
It could not even form a single word.
Beast Spirits who were incapable of speech were those whose minds had not yet developed, and they still retained their beastly instincts.
Brownie’s reaction merely reinforced Jiang Yun Long’s words, which just caused those Beast Spirits who were still hesitant to further not believe that Brownie was the Spiritual Bear.
How could their Spiritual Leader be a brown bear who was not even able to say a single word?
Jiang Yun Long knew that the effect he was seeking for had been achieved. He was not going to waste any more time arguing with the rhino and the others. He gave a slight wave of his hand and the human spirits who had been scattered by the Beast Spirits’ charge gathered together once again to surround and close in on the Rhino, Brownie, and the other Beast Spirits.
The Beast Spirits had no choice but to shrink their protective circle, keeping Brownie shielded in the middle.

The numbers of Rhino and his companions were far fewer than Jiang Yun Long and the human spirits with him. They quickly suffered a violent and vicious attack and the Beast Spirits had many wounds split open upon their bodies, with the scattering of their power of the spirit pushing them to fall into bitter battle.
There were quite a number of Beast Spirits who wanted to step up to help, but according to the Spirit World’s rules, Beast Spirits who still retain their beastly instincts were to be imprisoned. Hence despite the fact that they had wanted to lend a hand several times, they were held back by Jiang Yun Long who used the Spirit World’s rules against them, making it impossible for them to not come forward.
Brownie continued to roar, as Rhino and the others resisted against the enemy together. But as the disparity in numbers was just too great, the few Beast Spirits shielding Brownie were all seriously wounded, and it was clear to see that they would not be able to hold out any much longer.
A glint of glee flashed in Jiang Yun Long’s eyes, and his body morphed into a streak of dimmed light to charge straight at Brownie under the chaos of battle.
“Don’t even think of touching him!” The rhino disregarded his very own safety and crashed his bumbling body right into Jiang Yun Long. But how could the severely wounded rhino hope to be a match for Jiang Yun Long? Jiang Yun Long gripped the rhino’s horn in one hand and his other hand threw a punch straight towards the rhino’s head!
In an instant, the rhino’s body was smashed through and the body that was gathered power of the spirit crumbled into dust.
This was a ominous sign of a spirit body about to be extinguished. The Beast Spirits on the street saw with their own eyes the rhino’s spirit soul scatter and disperse with that strike. They could no longer tolerate it any longer and they charged forward with a roar.
“I would like to see who dares to move?” Meng Yi Liang immediately led the human spirits to block the path of the Beast Spirits.
“That brown bear has already harmed someone from another spirit race, and should by all reasons be punished. Those few Beast Spirits up front were trying to cover up the brown bear’s crime and all of you are going to do the same? Are all of you going to disregard the rules set down by the Spirit Lord completely?” Meng Yi Liang immediately mentioned the Spirit Lord’s name, to make those Beast Spirits rethink their decision.
And on the battlefield, the scattering of the rhino’s spirit soul caused Brownie to let out a roar of rage.
At the same time that Jun Wu Xie and the others got to the scene, they were coincidentally met with the scene of Jiang Yun Long closing in on Brownie with every single step he took!
Nalan Shan gasped in shock. The situation that met his eyes was one that went beyond anything he expected to see.
“Damn it! What are those bunch of people trying to do! ?” Qiao Chu stared at Jiang Yun Long with his teeth tightly clenched, almost unable to hold himself back to want to rush forward to rescue Brownie out from there.
Fei Yan and the others were similarly burning with rage.
“All of you cannot go out.” Jun Wu Xie’s voice suddenly rang out, causing Qiao Chu and the others to look at Jun Wu Xie in surprise.
[We can’t! ?]
That didn’t sound like something that Jun Wu Xie would say.
Jun Wu Xie creased up her brows as she looked at the heavily surrounded Brownie, and a cold glint rose in her eyes.
“With your current powers, what do you think you can achieve going out there?” Jun Wu Xie did not look at Qiao Chu and the rest of the companions, but the companions knew the words Jun Wu Xie said were meant for them.
And Jun Wu Xie’s words were like a bucket of ice cold water, that was splashed right onto their heads.
The youths all lowered their heads, to stare at their hands that had not even become fully solid.
Though they had cultivated for a period of time in the Tranquil Dream Forest, that was not enough for them to gain powers comparable to the Purple Spirit at all. Their current powers in the Spirit World were not all that different from a new spirit soul and compared to Jiang Yun Long and his men who had cultivated for such a long time in the Serene Spirit Tower, even if the companions were to charge into the fray, they would only end up being sent flying back out.
“Are we then just going to stand here to watch them bring Brownie away?” Qiao Chu’s fists were tightly clenched up. Ever since he came to the Spirit World, this was the first time he hated himself for being hopelessly powerless.

Nalan Shan standing there on the side could not wait any longer. He understood Jun Wu Xie’s concerns. Even if Jun Wu Xie and her companions joined the battle, it would not have any effect at all. Nalan Shan did not hesitate any longer but charged right into the fight. He could not just stand there and watch Jiang Yun Long take Brownie away. Even if Brownie was just an ordinary Beast Spirit, he would still not be able to make himself just stand by and watch.
He had faced loneliness for many decades and the companionship Brownie had given him throughout this period had become something he could not bear to sever.
Seeing Nalan Shan charged into battle, Qiao Chu and the others became even more anxious.
“Little Xie! Think of something quick!” Qiao Chu was so worried he was about to bite through his own teeth from clenching his jaws too hard.
How long had it been since he had last felt so helpless.
Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes and turned to Qiao Chu and her companions to say: “Rolly.”
“What?” Qiao Chu was slightly startled.
Before Qiao Chu could understand why Jun Wu Xie would suddenly mention the Yin Yang
Bear, Hua Yao had already summoned out the Double Headed Bone Snake!
…..
Jiang Yun Long had a cold sneer hanging from his mouth as he stared at the heavily panting Brownie. The few Beast Spirits shielding Brownie had all been severely wounded and they were lying on the ground, unable to move.
Brownie let out a angry roar towards Jiang Yun Long, whose eyes were filled with disdain.
“You crafty beast, I would like to see how you can escape from here today. You have nobody else here to come protect you anymore and if you cooperate and come back with me without putting up a struggle, I can make it a lot less painful for you.”
“Roar! !”
“Tsk tsk, why must you be so uncooperative? Everything my Master is doing now is for all the Beast Spirits as well, so there is need for you to resist it so strongly. You’ve caused these few beasts here to lose their lives and it’s all your fault.” Jiang Yun Long said venomously.
In the instant that Jiang Yun Long was about to come right before Brownie, a figure suddenly appeared right between him and Brownie!
“Uncle Master Nalan?” Jiang Yun Long stared in surprise at Nalan Shan who had suddenly appeared right before him.
Nalan Shan’s brows were tightly knotted together as he blocked Jiang Yun Long’s way towards Brownie, to stare at the surprised Jiang Yun Long.
“This Beast Spirit here is my friend. Over the recent period, it had stayed by my side, and I can prove that it is not aggressive to other spirit bodies at all.” Nalan Shan said as he looked at Jiang Yun Long warily. He did not know Jiang Yun Long well but he know that Jiang Yun Long had a personality similar to that of Wu Jiu’s, who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
“Haha…..” Jiang Yun Long suddenly laughed. “Uncle Master, you words are really interesting to hear. You can prove it? Do you think just by saying it, I will have to believe you?”
“Jiang Yun Long, I know what your motive is in capturing the bear. Even though you’re now a spirit body, you must not lose the humanity in your heart. Give people a way out in everything you do.” Nalan Shan gritted his teeth to say.
“Oh? And what if I say I am not willing to give them one?” Jiang Yun Long said as he laughed softly. He then looked at Nalan Shan and said: “Master once told me that Uncle Master Nalan had not been all that hardworking in his cultivation in the past, and he had graciously let you go to the Serene Spirit Tower to cultivate. But not only had you not appreciated his kind intentions, you had instead gone against him, going around to spread slander about the good things he had done. What I would really like to know, seeing that Uncle Master Nalan views the Serene Spirit Tower with such contempt, do you have a better method of cultivation? Today would be a good time for me to ask Uncle Master Nalan to instruct me a little on it.” Upon saying that, a grey mist suddenly flared out from around Jiang Yun Long’s body.
“Power of the spirit outflare…..” Nalan Shan’s eyes widened, as he stared in surprise at Jiang Yun Long who was shrouded in swirling grey mist!

“How is this? My Uncle Master Nalan. I hope your nephew disciple’s cultivation has not disappointed my elder here? This was gained from the very same Serene Spirit Tower you hold in such contempt.” The corners of Jiang Yun Long’s mouth were curled up with an almost gloating smile.
An outflare of the power of the spirit. This was the highest level of cultivation a spirit body could possibly achieve.
And among human spirits, since ancient times, only three people had been able to achieve that.
The first human spirit to do that was previous Spirit Master, Nalan Shan’s Master.
And the other two human spirits were just Nalan Shan and his senior fellow disciple, Wu Jiu!
Nalan Shan and Wu Jiu had spent a few thousand years’ time before they attained the ability for an outflare of the power of the spirit. For Jiang Yun Long, he had merely come to the Spirit World for less than a thousand years and regardless how highly gifted he might be, it was impossible that he would be able to achieve the level to execute an outflare of the power of the spirit!
Nalan Shan just could not believe everything that his eyes were seeing.
However, Jiang Yun Long did not give Nalan Shan any more time to think as he suddenly charged straight towards Nalan Shan, while throwing out an order to Meng Yi Liang at the same time.
“Bring that brown bear away!”
Nalan Shan wanted to save Brownie, but was completely held down by Jiang Yun Long. The two human spirits flared out their power of the spirit and the intensity of the battle caused everyone to stare stupefied and dumbfounded. And Nalan Shan quickly discovered that Jiang Yun Long’s powers were not that much lower than his own, where after exchanging a few strokes, the two of them were evenly matched, with Nalan Shan unable to free himself enough to help Brownie.
At that same moment, Meng Yi Liang was already leading the men to surround Brownie.
The Beast Spirits fallen to the ground were still thinking to force themselves to their feet but Meng Yi Liang stomped his foot on their heads, viciously pressing the Beast Spirits on the ground.
“Such useless beasts and you still want to resist? With the mere child’s play that all of you are capable of, you think you can save the bear? How hilarious.”
The cheetah trapped under Meng Yi Liang foot let out a growl, its beastly eye glaring at Meng Yi Liang as it said through clenched jaws: “All that you’ve done here today, Lord Flame Dragon will definitely not spare any of you.
“Har? Flame Dragon? What does that beast know? Do you think just by us capturing a single brown bear, the Flame Dragon will then be able to declare war upon us? Stop pulling my leg.” Meng Yi Liang sneered uninhibitedly, and stomped his foot viciously upon the cheetah once more. Meng Yi Liang then gestured with his chin at the human spirits beside him, and the men pulled out two thick iron chains that were at least two finger width thick from their sleeves.
The chains fell to the ground, and a clear clanging sounded in the air. They then dragged the heavy chains as they moved, to close in on Brownie one step at a time.
“Roar! !” Brownie waved its powerful claws before it continuously, attempting to swipe its paws at the group of people to send them flying. But the enemies’ numbers were just too great and Brownie found it hard to stand against them.
The clanging of chains resonated as the human spirits dragged the chains out, to criss cross over Brownie’s body, to restrain Brownie’s movements.
It was like wrestling with a cornered beast, as more than ten men held on to each end of the chains, to trap Brownie completely.
“Fiesty one we have here. I’ll like to see how you’re going to continue to struggle.” Meng Yi Liang sneered.
“Roar! !” Brownie roared in rage, the sound exceptionally robust, that stung the eardrums of everyone around.
That roar shot up into the skies, accompanied by Meng Yi Liang’s mocking laughter, with Brownie looking so helpless.
“Roar!”
Suddenly, another bear’s roar sounded from behind Meng Yi Liang.
Meng Yi Liang turned his head around in bewilderment, to discover with shock a massive Yin Yang Bear with contrasting black and white fur charging straight towards him in a maniacal sprint.
Before Meng Yi Liang was able to recover his senses, the Yin Yang Bear was already there right before him with its enormous paw raised, to take a mighty swipe at Meng Yi Liang’s face!

Chapter 2010: A Bear Paw’s Slap (4)

The slap that came like a bolt out of the blue, and delivered by a massive sized Yin Yang Bear at that, Meng Yi Liang was struck completely off guard as his entire body was sent flying through the air to crash heavily into the ground by the slap.
“Your mo
ther, what in the world was that?” Meng Yi Liang climbed to his feet from the ground wretchedly. The corner of his mouth had split from that strike, and his cheek had deep wide gashes torn out by the Yin Yang Bear’s sharp claws!
“All of you kill that dumb beast who doesn’t know who he’s dealing with for me!” Meng Yi Liang screamed as he covered his cheek that was stinging with pain, as he pointed at the Yin Yang Bear.
Several human spirits immediately released the chains they held in their hands and pounced straight towards the Yin Yang Bear.
But before they could even get closer an inch closer to the Yin Yang Bear, a great white shadow suddenly whipped towards them, to send everyone flying in an instant!
“Oow” No one knew from when the enormous Double Headed Bone Snake had suddenly appeared on the crowded street, it’s prodigiously sized body circling an area around the Yin Yang Bear, the four eyes on its two heads staring sinisterly at the enemies around.
“Roar! !” Another roar shot into the sky. A gigantic Great Ape came charging out from among a bunch of spirit bodies at the side. In one single leap with its powerful hind legs, the Great Ape flew high up into the air, landing with a loud boom near to Brownie. Its huge hands gripped the chain holding Brownie down and its thick and powerful arms tugged hard. With raw brute power, the Great Ape sent the bunch of human spirits holding the end of the chain flying with a mighty swing!
In an instant, the Yin Yang Bear, the Double Headed Bone Snake, and the Great Ape stood blocking anyone from reaching Brownie, their massive bodies like three high unbreachable walls, forming into an impenetrable fortress around!
The three Beast Spirits that had appeared so suddenly stunned Meng Yi Liang well and proper. He had not seen where three such gigantic Beast Spirits had popped out from all this time!
What shocked Meng Yi Liang even more was that these three Beast Spirits were of such an unbelievable size. It must be known that the area they were in now was a place where only regular Beast Spirits came to. Beast Spirits of such a tremendous size had other areas catered exclusively for them. The powers of the Beast Spirits in this district were usually weaker and that was one of the reasons Meng Yi Liang and his men had dared to attempt to openly capture the brown bear out on the streets.
