The Holy Horned White Deer slowly turned around, looking at Xiu Jie Ming, whose aura was sky-high like a War God, with blood flickering in its eyes.

"I didn't want to waste time, but since you insist on courting death, Master Deer will send you down first." The Holy Horned White Deer stared coldly at Xiu Jie Ming, slowly standing upright.

The Holy Horned White Deer was already much taller than ordinary deer species. After standing up, its height, excluding the antlers, reached 2.78 meters, a head taller than Xiu Jie Ming.

Although it wasn't as robust as Xiu Jie Ming, it looked extremely imposing.

The standing Holy Horned White Deer extended its front hooves, surprisingly breaking off the pair of antlers on its head.

"What's this for? Why start with self-harm?" Button Brother quipped.

But before he finished his words, he saw the front hooves that broke off the antlers transform into a pair of human hands, each holding a crystalline, jade-like antler.

Particles surged over the Holy Horned White Deer like a mosaic wave rolling, and where particles flowed, the body of the white deer transformed into a human shape.

In an instant, the Holy Horned White Deer transformed into a man wearing loose white sweater and pants, with long white hair, an exotic face, and blood-red eyes, holding the pair of crystal antlers like exotic weapons in his hands.

Chen Guan and Button Brother watched in amazement, their hearts filled with horror, even Xiu Jie Ming's expression changed slightly.

Secret Spirits with transformation abilities are rarely seen even in the Blessed Land, and even in the Grotto Heaven, only a few strong beings possess such abilities.

The Holy Horned White Deer possessing transformation abilities suggests its origins are likely more terrifying than previously suspected, not just a higher level than imagined.

The humanoid blood-like eyes of the white deer fixed on Xiu Jie Ming, and without a word, its figure flashed instantly to where Xiu Jie Ming stood.

Xiu Jie Ming swung his sword with a force as heavy as a mountain, as if capable of cleaving rocks apart, but it was blocked by the antler held by the Holy Horned White Deer.

The other hand swiftly swung an antler towards Xiu Jie Ming, and when he struck at the antler with his palm, peculiar brilliance spread across the antler, quickly spreading like thorns, stabbing into his arm.

Xiu Jie Ming quickly retreated, while the white deer clung like a specter, its antlers swirling with shining radiance, its techniques odd and strange, making it difficult for Xiu Jie Ming to defend himself, quickly resulting in multiple injuries.

Though none were fatal, Xiu Jie Ming was left with no chance to counter.

"Roar!" The Celestial Slayer Profound-Hoofed White Tiger suddenly charged from the side, flanking the white deer, tiger claws emanating mysterious dark light seeming capable of shredding everything.

Bang!

The white deer's left antler swung backhand to fend off the tiger's claws, enveloping them swiftly with a branch-like brilliance, trapping the tiger like a thorn cage while its sharp shine injured the tiger's body.

But such a Secret Skill evidently consumed significant Primordial Energy and couldn't be maintained long, soon vanishing.

With rapid movements, the white deer suppressed Xiu Jie Ming and the Celestial Slayer Profound-Hoofed White Tiger despite facing two opponents. Clearly, it attacked frantically while Xiu Jie Ming and the tiger struggled to cope, soon left badly wounded.

Xiu Jie Ming retreated again and summoned another pet, a Ghost Emperor.

This Ghost Emperor was different from those slain by Chen Guan, using dual swords to perform the Netherworld Emperor Sword Technique, its sword shadows continually piercing the white deer.

Despite Xiu Jie Ming, the tiger, and the Ghost Emperor, each at a Third Awakening Level 30, assaulting the equally Level 30 white deer as three against one, they couldn't gain the upper hand.

"The Commander will be alright, won't he?" Button Brother watched, overwhelmed, unable to follow the fight's changes or determine who held the advantage with his limited eyesight and reaction.

Though Chen Guan was only at a First Awakening, his vision was sharper than Button Brother's, thanks to his abundant Primordial Energy allowing him to infuse his eyes with energy to assess the battle situation, unlike others who couldn't afford such luxury.

Most people reserved Primordial Energy for combat, reluctant to waste it.

The humanoid white deer's combat prowess was almost off the charts, especially its strange-shaped, bizarrely skilled antler weapons, sharp and fine.

Even World-Defying Secret Spirits struggled against its damage, brushing against a wound or piercing through bones with ease.

Crucially, its speed, power, and peculiar techniques allowed it to handle three opponents alone, still challenging Xiu Jie Ming and his pets, making little difference compared to facing Xiu Jie Ming alone. The tiger and Ghost Emperor were of little help.

"The humanoid white deer not only excels at wielding exotic weapons but also at dual wielding skill. The antler weapons in each hand can employ different techniques, with even distinct styles between the left and right hands. This poses a true dual wielding threat, unlike An Yiqi, who pales like a walking infant in comparison." Chen Guan observed Xiu Jie Ming's predicament.

Though he had two pets assisting him, due to the white deer's overwhelming strength and battlefield reading ability, the pets offered little aid, leaving Xiu Jie Ming under pressure alone.

Now, even if he summoned more pets, unless forming a battle formation akin to a troop charge, mere pets couldn't threaten the white deer, leaving Xiu Jie Ming to endure.

Xiu Jie Ming indeed possessed tremendous strength, managing to fight the humanoid white deer to this point unscathed.

His giant sword struck with immense force, yet his techniques were far from crude, even intricately fine.

Such strength and swordsmanship proved Xiu Jie Ming was undoubtedly Grandmaster Level, yet anyone else would struggle under the white deer's assault for so long.

Nonetheless, Chen Guan sensed something wasn't right—Xiu Jie Ming was strong, with powerful swordsmanship, yet something seemed missing.

After pondering, Chen Guan realized why he felt something wasn't right.

Xiu Jie Ming's innate talent was unprecedented; not even Jiang Qiemo could match it.

His body was monstrously strong, like a beast, capable of competing in physicality and strength with Secret Spirits.

Such innate talent made hefting a giant sword, akin to wielding embroidery needles, effortless for him—rendering the giant sword weightless.

Though wielding a giant sword, his techniques remained exquisitely refined, seemingly naturally achieved without error; even the most ordinary techniques became flawless in his hands, transforming decay into wonder.

Every technique in Xiu Jie Ming's hands unleashed its full potential, even surpassing its original idea.

His instant insight into sword intent wasn't accidental or due to luck; it was his normal, every move imbued with realm, perfect in execution.

Yet, this perfection made Chen Guan feel something lacking.
