The Grey Rat's Demon Path

Chapter 212: Chapter 188: Thunderous Demon King, Profound Armor Seven Stars

It wasn’t that his previous strike had been off; that area was just tougher.

Xu Chang’an closed in, giving the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King no chance to catch his breath.

He lashed out with his sharp claws, one strike after another!

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The tremendous sound echoed through the sky.

Under the onslaught of claws, the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King was gradually starting to struggle.

The force of each blow far exceeded that of an ordinary Mid-stage Core Formation expert.

’I can’t let this drag on!’

After a few exchanges, the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King began to think of retreating.

This Golden Lion’s combat power was impressive. They had only quarreled, and there was no deep-seated hatred between them.

’Fighting to the death over this just isn’t worth it!’

Besides, this was the territory of Thundering Mountain. He could easily summon allies and regroup!

"Get out of my way!"

The Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King bellowed.

Behind him, a phantom hundreds of feet tall lit up with a blindingly brilliant light.

In that instant, the phantom seemed to come alive.

It flapped its cicada-thin wings and shot toward Xu Chang’an.

Xu Chang’an’s expression remained unchanged.

His Demon Power surged as he unleashed the full might of his Flesh and Blood Power.

BOOM!

It was a tangible, crushing blow.

"How is this possible!"

The Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King’s expression changed drastically.

He felt a wave of paralysis wash over him.

The pain was secondary. The paralysis, however, spread to his Demon Sense, slowing his reactions and making it much harder to command his Magical Treasure.

And...

The power of this blow far surpassed the limits of the Mid-stage Core Formation!

’This is the domain of a peak Demon King!’

’Could it be...’

’He hid his cultivation!?’

’He looks like he’s in the Early-stage Core Formation, but he’s actually in the Late-stage!’

The Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King had no time to dwell on it.

He could only watch as purple patterns erupted across the Golden Lion’s body, instantly covering it.

Then, a purple light flared, forming a brilliant orb.

SWOOSH!

With unimaginable speed, the Golden Lion was upon him in an instant.

The Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King tried to react, but his Demon Sense was paralyzed and his Demon Power felt sluggish. He was too slow.

BOOM!

A claw struck, smashing viciously into his Demon Body.

The immense force of the blow sent his Demon Body hurtling toward the ground.

SWOOSH!

Before his Demon Body even hit the ground, the Golden Lion pounced again.

BOOM!

Another claw slammed down.

RIP!

CRACK!

The Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King could clearly feel his Demon Body cracking.

The Demon Body and Spirit he took so much pride in seemed fragile and weak before this claw.

’I am of the Profound Armor Seven Stars race!’

’My kind is renowned for our tough Demon Body and Spirit, but today, I’ve run into a brick wall!’

In mid-air, he struggled to regain his composure.

But each time, a claw strike sent him reeling!

BAM!

His body slammed violently into the ground.

The powerful impact carved a massive crater into the solid earth.

Rubble shattered and dust flew everywhere.

At the same time, the surrounding Spiritual Qi surged, growing increasingly chaotic.

’I’m going to die! I’m going to die! I’m really going to die!’

The Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King’s earlier composure was gone, replaced by sheer terror!

This was a true life-or-death crisis!

He was one of the strongest among the veteran Demon Kings. On the strength of his Demon Body and Spirit, he could even trade blows with a peak Demon King!

But being able to trade blows didn’t mean he could win a prolonged fight!

’A protracted battle would mean certain defeat!’

After these few exchanges, he had realized it: the Golden Lion before him definitely had the combat power of a peak Demon King!

’I’m no match for him!’

BOOM!

A golden-furred claw, looking as if it could tear through space itself, slammed down.

The Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King unleashed his Demon Power, barely managing to command his diamond-shaped iron Magical Treasure to block the attack.

VMMM—

Light flared from the Magical Treasure!

The backlash from the impact sent a tremor through the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King.

If that blow had struck his Demon Body directly as the others had, he would have been gravely injured.

SHING!

The Invisible Forbidden Technique Needle shot forward, shimmering with imperceptible ripples!

The Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King didn’t launch this attack to win, but to buy himself time.

He whipped out a Demon Talisman that was slightly larger than usual.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he activated it instantly.

’A Tier Three Shifting Talisman!’

Xu Chang’an had clearly noticed the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King’s move.

A Shifting Talisman was different from an Escape Talisman; it activated much faster.

Furthermore, a Shifting Talisman involved spatial principles, making it much harder to interrupt than an Escape Talisman.

Correspondingly, Shifting Talismans were more valuable and much rarer.

Even veteran Demon Kings had a hard time getting their hands on one!

’I can’t believe this Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King actually has one!’

Although he knew it would be difficult to interrupt, Xu Chang’an still had to try.

Enveloped in a purple glow, his speed exploded!

SWOOSH!

In an instant, he was right in front of the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King.

In a flash, he swung his sharp claw.

Just as his claw touched the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King’s body, the space before him seemed to ripple and warp.

And then, the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King vanished from before Xu Chang’an’s eyes.

"He still got away," Xu Chang’an muttered to himself.

’Just as I thought. Compared to Foundation Establishment Great Demons, Demon Kings have so many more tricks up their sleeves, all kinds of life-saving trump cards. Even if I’m a cut above them in strength, defeating them is easy, but killing them is a whole different story!’

’However...

...it’s not like I got nothing out of it!’

Xu Chang’an looked at the Storage Bag in his possession.

He had snatched it from the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King at the very last moment.

Judging by its style, it probably wasn’t the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King’s. It most likely belonged to the male Human Race cultivator who had died earlier.

He didn’t check the contents of the Storage Bag right away.

Xu Chang’an unleashed his Demon Power, destroying the surrounding traces of the Magical Combat.

After a quick check to make sure he hadn’t missed anything, he transformed into a streak of light and shot toward the horizon.
