The leader swung his ax at Pearl.
The ax was a two-handed ax, with a meter-long wooden shaft that was so polished that the wood grains were no longer visible, and an ax head that was in a circular shape of half a meter in diameter.
The leader was still a good 20 meters away from Pearl, but the swinging of the ax sent out an earthen-colored illusory ax of the same shape as his own.
Pearl understood this was a strong attack, but he didn't back away. Instead, his right paw glowed goldenly and he swung at the ax-shaped energy.
The energy dissipated as soon as Pearl hit it, with Pearl taking barely any damage himself.
Pearl was a little surprised. Was the human in front of him not strong?
The leader frowned as well. He had clearly sent out an attack that had the power of a 9th Mind Tempering realm cultivator, but somehow the cat had easily stopped it.
It looked like he couldn't hold back at all.
