"Brat, watch how I kill you. That treasure of yours will be mine."

With that, Xuan Zhiyong fiercely bit the tip of his tongue.

He spat the blood out in front of him.

At the same time, he roared, "Bear Demon Possession!"

In the very next moment, a phantom shadow of a black Bear Demon suddenly materialized on Xuan Zhiyong’s body.

As soon as the Bear Demon’s shadow appeared, it let out a vicious roar.

At the same time, it swallowed the fresh blood Xuan Zhiyong had spat out in a single gulp.

Instantly, the Bear Demon’s body became almost corporeal.

It stood thirty to forty feet tall, like a small mountain. The Bear Demon had menacing fangs and razor-sharp claws.

"ROAR!"

With another roar, it immediately fused with Xuan Zhiyong.

That’s right, possession. Bear Demon Possession.

This was the fundamental reason Xuan Zhiyong was able to establish himself on Nanming Mountain.

Whenever he used Bear Demon Possession, his Combat Power would skyrocket to terrifying levels.

Sure enough, as the Bear Demon possessed him, Xuan Zhiyong’s aura surged with reckless abandon.

BOOM!

Martial King Sixth Layer Heaven.

That’s right. In just a brief moment, Xuan Zhiyong’s aura had soared to the Martial King Sixth Layer Heaven.

But this was only the beginning.

BOOM!

Martial King Seventh Heaven.

Xuan Zhiyong’s aura had already reached the Martial King Seventh Heaven.

But it didn’t stop there.

After another roar of power, Xuan Zhiyong’s aura finally settled at the level of a Martial King Eighth Layer Heaven.

The immense pressure of his aura crashed down on Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen’s expression changed drastically.

’Damn it, how could this happen?’

’This Bear Demon Possession gives Xuan Zhiyong the Combat Power of a Martial King Eighth Layer Heaven.’

He had already been slightly outmatched by Xuan Zhiyong before. Now that Xuan Zhiyong’s Combat Power had surged to the Martial King Eighth Layer Heaven, there was no way Jiang Chen could be his opponent.

At this moment, he finally understood why the Third Prince had failed in his repeated attempts to conquer Nanming Mountain.

With someone as formidable as Xuan Zhiyong present, the Third Prince had no chance of taking Nanming Mountain at all.

He sensed that the situation had become extremely dire.

"Haha, time to die!"

"Brat, are you scared stupid already?"

Xuan Zhiyong laughed heartily.

Fused with the Bear Demon, he stomped forward.

THUD! THUD! THUD!...

With every step Xuan Zhiyong took, the entire mountain peak rumbled without end.

It was as if an earthquake had erupted.

Panicked, Jiang Chen waved the Divine Wind Fan again.

WHOOSH!

An icy blast shot out instantly, sweeping toward Xuan Zhiyong.

Xuan Zhiyong’s movements were now noticeably slower; he couldn’t dodge the Divine Wind Fan’s icy gale at all.

PFFT!

The icy wind instantly froze Xuan Zhiyong and the Bear Demon solid.

Jiang Chen was overjoyed.

But in the next moment, he was struck dumb with astonishment.

CRACK...

With almost no delay, the ice cracked and shattered from the outside of Xuan Zhiyong and the Bear Demon’s body.

BOOM!

The Bear Demon tore through the ice and burst out, its eyes blood-red as it opened its mouth and roared.

It charged forward with heavy strides.

Jiang Chen used the Divine Wind Fan three times in a row, but he couldn’t stop the now insanely powerful Xuan Zhiyong at all.

At the critical moment, Jiang Chen gritted his teeth.

With extreme decisiveness, he made a gesture, and a black Elixir appeared in his hand.

"Have a taste of my Thunder Pill’s power!"

"Explode!"

That’s right. Jiang Chen knew that neither his Cloud Mist Sword nor his Divine Wind Fan could do anything to Xuan Zhiyong now.

He immediately resorted to using the Thunder Pill.

He had refined these Thunder Pills but had never used them.

The Thunder Pill was a Third-Grade Elixir, and it was even Gold Quality.

Its effect was similar to a Blazing Pill, but its power was over a hundred times stronger.

A single Blazing Pill could kill a Martial Artist expert.

Now, the Thunder Pill was the perfect weapon against a Martial King Expert.

If the opponent were agile, the Thunder Pill’s effectiveness would surely be reduced, as it had to hit the target directly to unleash its full power.

Therefore, it was difficult to deal with fast-moving enemies using a Thunder Pill.

However, the current Xuan Zhiyong, fused with the Bear Demon, had greatly increased his Combat Power at the cost of a significant reduction in speed.

This gave Jiang Chen a golden opportunity.

The Thunder Pill finally had its moment to shine.

With that, he hurled the Thunder Pill in his hand directly at the charging Xuan Zhiyong and Bear Demon.

Before a Thunder Pill explodes, you can’t feel any power from it at all.

Xuan Zhiyong was stunned for just a moment. Seeing the black stone Jiang Chen threw, he glanced at it and paid it no mind.

He sneered, "Now, there’s nowhere for you to run."

The Bear Demon roared.

Finally, the Thunder Pill struck Xuan Zhiyong.

Xuan Zhiyong had no intention of dodging and let the Thunder Pill hit him.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen quickly turned and fled.

He had to escape the Thunder Pill’s explosion, or he might get killed by it too.

But the moment after he was hit, the expressions on the faces of both Xuan Zhiyong and the Bear Demon changed dramatically.

But it was too late.

BOOM!

The terrifying explosion sounded as if it would collapse the entire Nanming Mountain.

Nanming Mountain trembled violently without stopping.

Leaves rained down.

The nearby Nanming Mountain bandits had been eagerly awaiting their boss to display his might and kill Jiang Chen.

Now, with the thunderous explosion, they all felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck their minds. Many were sent flying by the aftershock, violently spewing blood.

And that wasn’t all; those with low Cultivation were killed instantly by the blast.

Jiang Chen had already seized the opportunity to escape, sprinting outside the main stockade and hiding in a low-lying area.

He cursed his bad luck under his breath.

The downside of his Thunder Pill was that its explosion could very well threaten him too, which was why he didn’t dare to use it lightly.

Now, he hid and waited for the outcome.

The Thunder Pill had detonated directly on Xuan Zhiyong. Even with his Combat Power boosted to the Martial King Eighth Layer Heaven, he couldn’t have blocked the Thunder Pill, let alone taken a direct hit from it.

The result was bound to be tragic.

Halfway up the mountain, Huo Wu was leading her five hundred men, continuing their charge.

But suddenly, following a deafening roar, the entire Nanming Mountain began to shake as if it were about to collapse.

Her face turned pale with shock.

"What’s going on?"

She was utterly terrified.

The others all dropped to the ground, taking cover.

Huo Wu’s Cultivation was high, so she steadied herself and gazed toward the summit.

’This sound... it seems to have come from the peak of Nanming Mountain,’ she thought, filled with shock and doubt.

Afterward, once the explosion subsided, everything fell silent. Many hills had collapsed, a testament to the power of the blast.

She hurriedly said to the others, "Quick, let’s move faster."

"We have to be the first to kill the bandit chief!"

She was still thinking about competing with Jiang Chen.

Meanwhile, down at the foot of the mountain, the Third Prince and his men all felt the ground tremble violently.

They all looked toward the summit in astonishment.

They saw a mushroom cloud rising from the mountaintop.

Da Pao quickly pointed at the summit and said to the Third Prince, "Your Highness, look! The mountaintop!"

"The peak of Nanming Mountain just exploded!"

Everyone looked and saw rubble flying and dust billowing from the summit. The entire peak was shaking continuously, on the verge of collapse.

Each one of them was utterly baffled and horrified.

The Third Prince hurriedly said to Cao Yang, "Cao Yang, quickly send someone to see if it’s Huo Wu and Jiang Chen fighting the enemy!"
