"Cloud Fall Palm!"

At this moment, Black Rose had no choice but to attack the three bears blocking their path from behind.

A white palm print emerged from her perfectly white palm and shot straight toward the three bears.

The palm print bore no elemental aura, pure and ethereal, exuding a unique imposing presence.

The aura of the Mystical Technique swirled around the palm, significantly boosting its power.

Seeing this formation, Big Bear and Second Bear immediately hid behind the Yin Yang Giant Panda, startling it. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"I’m the weakest here, weren’t you supposed to protect me?"

At this moment, Thunder Yuan stepped forward, positioning himself in front of the Yin Yang Giant Panda, with a golden shield held in his hand.

"Boom!"

The Cloud Fall Palm collided with the Golden Bell Shield and instantly dissipated.

Thunder Yuan’s spiritual power was nearly at twenty-four hundred.

Great Success Golden Bell Shield! Enhanced by the Level 5 Gold Mystical Technique.

Without activating the bloodline martial skill Golden Spirit Skill, he could withstand attacks exceeding 5700.

Thunder Yuan’s defense was formidable, but in terms of attack power, he wasn’t much stronger than the Rose Sisters.

The Rose Sisters together could easily fend off Thunder Yuan’s attacks.

But his defense could keep him undefeated.

After blocking Black Rose’s attack, Thunder Yuan stood his ground.

Moonlight cascaded down, casting a silver-white hue upon the territory. The flowers, grass, woods, and lakes seemed to brim with killing intent.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck..."

The commotion here startled the cranes, causing a panic within the Rose Sisters.

Meanwhile, Yi Tian, Xin Qiji, Third Child, and Seventh Child were less than two hundred meters away from the Rose Sisters.

This was already within attack range!

The Rose Sisters stood back to back in defense!

They didn’t launch an attack, nor did Yi Tian.

"Flying Flower Sword!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Red Rose wielded the Flying Flower Sword, sending dozens of rose petals soaring toward Yi Tian.

As they drew near, the rose petals transformed into Flying Flower Sword Qi, each exuding a menacing killing intent.

No need for Seventh Child to act; Xin Qiji stepped forward with his sword.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

With a twist of his wrist, the Flying Flower Sword Qi was all cut down.

"Cloud Fall Palm!"

Red Rose and Blue Rose jointly used their martial skills.

Black Rose and White Rose remained on guard against Thunder Yuan.

This time, it wasn’t just one palm, but a continuous barrage of palm techniques.

Xin Qiji had two minutes left of his innate ability.

During this time, his physical strength was extraordinarily powerful.

"Whoosh!"

"Bang..."

Every palm strike was effortlessly shattered by Xin Qiji.

The unadorned longsword made the attacks from the Black Rose Squad impossible to surpass.

"Big sister..."

The other three roses looked toward Black Rose.

Black Rose furrowed her eyebrows and surveyed the surroundings.

Running into the woods was not an option; the Lord would certainly intercept them.

"Lord, my innate ability is about to end..." Xin Qiji quietly mentioned to Yi Tian.

Once the ability ended, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the martial skills of the Rose Squad.

"Listen, you’re already surrounded. Quickly lay down your weapons and surrender, or don’t blame us for being unforgiving."

Yi Tian didn’t want to kill them outright, preferring negotiation before force.

Killing them would be easy, but he was interested in recruiting the four Human Race Qi Refiners.

"Lord, we accidentally intruded upon this place; please let us leave and we will be grateful to you." Black Rose and her group, however, wouldn’t easily disarm; they were still struggling, seeking an opportunity to escape.

"Since it was a mistaken entry, you are guests. With friends coming from afar, please enter my domain so that I may fulfill my duties as host."

Such empty words! Sneaking around at night — how could this be a mistake? Attacking upon sight meant something was definitely amiss.

"Lord, what will it take for you to let us go?" Black Rose responded to Yi Tian.

This mission had been too frustrating — ambushed before it even began.

They didn’t know Yi Tian’s territory housed an Earth God Bear, nor were they aware of Second Child’s talents: Thousand-Mile Eye and Shunfeng Ear.

No matter how powerful the High Priest of the Indigenous People was, they couldn’t probe the talents of the Lord or the members of the Lord’s territory.

"Lay down your weapons. The territory welcomes guests but dislikes weapons," Yi Tian requested of the Rose Squad.

"Big sister, stop wasting words with the Lord. We’ve faced bigger obstacles before; let’s fight him," Red Rose said to Black Rose, her tone resolute.

Bounty hunters, while not desperate outlaws, often danced on the edge of life and death.

They never lacked the courage to fight to the death.

As women traversing the world, they couldn’t afford to be soft-hearted.

Many missions, if failed by men, resulted in only death!

For women, failure meant not just death but also humiliation.

"On our home planet, there is a saying: ’Like an ant trying to shake a tree, utterly foolish!’"

As soon as Yi Tian finished speaking!

Ice and Fire Celestial Palm!

With overwhelming power, it coalesced in his palm, and the purple palm shadow became the lone beacon in the night.

The speed of the Ice and Fire Celestial Palm was incredible, and the Rose Sisters’ expressions changed. Upon witnessing such power, they didn’t hesitate to activate the defensive martial skill True Spirit Shield.

"Boom!"

To the Rose Sisters’ surprise, the Ice and Fire Celestial Palm didn’t strike their True Spirit Shield but instead hit a massive rock not far from the lakeside.

Upon impact, the rock flew over ten feet away.

"Crack!"

What shocked the Rose Sisters even more was that the rock shattered into dust right before it landed!

Did the Lord miss "accidentally"?

Certainly not!

At such close range, the speed of the Ice and Fire Celestial Palm left them no room to dodge.

As the Lord said, "Like an ant trying to shake a tree, utterly foolish," he deliberately missed to intimidate them.

Resistance would lead to certain death.

"Considering you are of the Human Race, I admire you. Join my domain, and you may avoid death. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Negotiation before force; if reason failed, then only force remained.

Yi Tian understood that with such strong individuals, he had to wield enough power to awe them.
