Shen Haoran landed, his chest heaving slightly. That rapid-fire assault had taken a considerable toll on him. To the side, Jian Wushuang and the other two stared at Shen Haoran in shock. The attack he had just unleashed surpassed what a Spirit Marquis Tier Martial Artist should be capable of. They never expected Shen Haoran to be hiding such a powerful Martial Skill!
"Be careful! That thing probably wasn’t seriously injured!" Shen Haoran didn’t notice the shocked looks from Jian Wushuang and the others. His face was grim as he stared at the large crater Demon King Husky had smashed into the ground not far away, his nerves stretched taut.
Hearing this, the expressions of Jian Wushuang and the other two turned grave as well. ’It’s true. After that barrage of attacks from the four of us, capped off by Shen Haoran’s brutal Martial Skill, Demon King Husky’s aura hasn’t weakened at all. In fact, it seems to have grown even stronger!’
BOOM...
Sure enough, the next moment, a loud explosion erupted from the crater. Countless fragments of rock flew out, followed by a pitch-black figure that shot out explosively, slowly coming to a hover in mid-air. It was none other than Demon King Husky, the very one Shen Haoran had just smashed into the ground.
At this moment, Demon King Husky’s aura was indeed undiminished, but he looked to be in a pathetic state. Vivid Fist Seals were branded across his chest and back. The pair of huge, fleshy wings on his back were snapped clean off, and black blood gushed from the wounds as if it cost nothing, dyeing his entire back. A trickle of blood hung from the corner of his mouth, and his chest heaved violently—it was impossible to tell if it was from his injuries or his boundless rage.
Seeing Demon King Husky reappear, everyone couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath. ’Shen Haoran’s devastating attack didn’t even manage to inflict any serious harm. Just how terrifying is this thing’s defense?!’
’He’s ridiculously durable!’ Shen Haoran’s eye twitched. He knew his Heaven-Breaking Fivefold Kill had given even Ni Jianshuang a great deal of trouble. Now, it couldn’t even break through Demon King Husky’s defenses. It was clear just how thick-skinned this opponent was.
"Damned humans! You have thoroughly enraged me!" Hovering in mid-air, Demon King Husky felt the searing pain from his back. His eyes turned crimson, and a frigid killing intent erupted from him. His entire face twisted with rage. ’I am a Demon King, personally appointed by the Demon Emperor himself! Second to one and above all others! My status is noble beyond compare, yet now, a few mere Spirit Marquis Tier human Martial Artists have reduced me to such a pathetic state!’ Boundless fury blazed in his chest.
"I want you dead! All of you must die!" Demon King Husky roared, his face a mask of savagery. He then curled his body into a ball. The scattered runes on his skin began to spread, soon covering his entire frame.
Once Demon King Husky’s body was covered in the pitch-black runes, his muscles began to ripple and squirm. His entire form started to expand, and the long black hair on his back grew explosively, wrapping around his back like steel spikes. Countless streams of black qi erupted from within him, coiling around his body. His already formidable aura surged once more, skyrocketing directly to the level of a Tier Four Spirit Emperor!
ROAR!
His transformation complete, Demon King Husky let out a furious roar. A visible wave of Powerful Qi erupted from his body. The powerful shockwave was too much for the bluestone slabs on the ground, which shattered one after another. The surrounding Martial Artists were all sent flying.
Shen Haoran and his three companions braced themselves, crossing their arms in front of them. The powerful gale whipped their robes about violently. The four of them gritted their teeth, anchoring themselves to the ground. They were all stunned. ’It seems Demon King Husky has unleashed his full power. An aura this terrifying is even stronger than many of the Sect Leaders from the major Sects!’
After a long moment, the violent gale finally subsided. Shen Haoran and the others looked up at the completely transformed Husky in mid-air and couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath. ’Now, the real battle begins.’
"Forcing me to use my Demon King Transformation... you can all die without regrets now. But rest assured," Demon King Husky said, sticking out his tongue to lick his lips with a sinister grin, "I won’t let you die so easily!" The next moment, his figure vanished from sight.
The instant Demon King Husky disappeared, the pupils of all four men dilated. They felt an intense sense of crisis wash over them, but they couldn’t track the Demon King’s movements at all.
"Look out!" Shen Haoran barely had time to shout before a massive figure appeared in front of Wuqing. A colossal fist shot out, and Wuqing’s stout body was sent flying like a cannonball. He crashed through countless Stone Pillars before finally coming to a stop, his body buried beneath a pile of rubble.
"One down," Demon King Husky cackled after sending Wuqing flying with a single blow.
Seeing this, Shen Haoran and the other two didn’t have time to process their shock. They attacked Demon King Husky in unison, but their strikes only hit an afterimage. The Demon King had already vanished.
After Demon King Husky vanished, Shen Haoran, Jian Wushuang, and Xue Shitian immediately grew tense, desperately scanning their surroundings for any sign of the Husky, but they found nothing.
"Two down!" Just then, the sinister voice echoed once more. A moment later, Jian Wushuang’s body was sent flying backward, smashing violently against the main hall’s wall before slumping to the ground, his condition unknown.
"Three down!" Before Shen Haoran and Xue Shitian could even react to Jian Wushuang’s defeat, the Husky’s figure appeared in front of Xue Shitian. A rising knee smashed directly into Xue Shitian’s face. A spray of blood and shattered teeth flew from his mouth as his body was launched backward, skidding across the ground for dozens of meters before coming to a stop.
"Dammit!" Now, Shen Haoran was the only one left standing in the grand hall. After taking down Xue Shitian, Demon King Husky had vanished once again.
Shen Haoran took a deep breath and immediately shut his eyes. A vast, tide-like wave of Spiritual Thought surged from his Sea of Consciousness, blanketing every corner of the hall as he began to search for the Husky’s form.
As he released his Spiritual Thought, Shen Haoran’s world fell silent. Suddenly, he felt a faint stir in the air behind him. His eyes snapped open, and a sharp Sword Intent instantly coalesced, lashing out behind him.
SPURT... In that instant, black blood sprayed through the air. Shen Haoran’s sharp Sword Intent had sliced directly into Demon King Husky’s chest, leaving a gash so deep the bone was visible.
"Excellent perception!" However, Demon King Husky seemed to feel no pain at all from the wound Shen Haoran had inflicted. Instead, the frenzied light in his eyes only intensified. With a sinister laugh, he lunged forward, grabbed Shen Haoran by the face, slammed him to the ground, and began to drag him forward at a dead run...
