Anyone who offends the leader of the Tiger King will die!
At the foot of the mountain, the carved gate stood tall, and two figures exchanged blows for hundreds of rounds, with blood-red light and dark shadows dancing, and shattered rocks splattering.
Hu Xiao wielded a Blood Soul Spear, his steps agile and free, the spear tip coiling like a swimming snake around Niu Dingtian's broadaxe blade, thrusting, lifting, stabbing, poking, and parrying.
Every spear thrust aimed for blood, sweeping wide and striking hard, immediately enraging Niu Dingtian.
"I, Old Niu, will let you use your spear! Let you use your spear!" Niu Dingtian roared, his broadaxe swinging wildly, creating stone pits in the carved gate, but never touching Hu Xiao's form in the slightest.
Bang, bang, bang!
A moment later.
Hiss—
Niu Dingtian's nostrils flared with white steam, and he couldn't help but breathe heavily.
He started sweating profusely...
"Oh my goodness, Hu Xiao, how did your strength increase so much?!"
From the start of the battle until now, hundreds of rounds had passed in the blink of an eye. Hu Xiao, with his Blood Soul Spear, moved like a dragon and a snake, barely pausing, and had managed to exhaust most of his physical strength.
But this wasn't right!
According to Immortal Woman, he had suffered a severe injury last time and hadn't recovered, so he should have been exhausted by now!
"Could Immortal Woman be tricking me, Old Niu?"
At this thought, Niu Dingtian shook his head violently, "Impossible, she would never lie to me, she definitely didn't mean to."
"......"
Hu Xiao's eyes turned cold, seizing this moment of distraction. He exerted force from his palm, suddenly thrusting his spear forward, aiming directly for the large black ox horn on the right!
Bang!
The spear's power vibrated, directly shattering more than half of the horn!
"Moo!!!"
Niu Dingtian cried out in pain, having suffered a great loss. He immediately cowered, blood covering his face, his eyes filled with a reddish hue.
"I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore! You're impressive, Hu Xiao!"
With that, he covered his wound and turned to pick up the broken horn on the ground.
However, after only a few steps, before he could reach out, a burst of demonic energy suddenly shot out, striking the center of the black ox horn with a bang.
Bang!
The ox horn shattered, exploding into countless black fragments!
"Stupid ox! You offended this King, and you still want to leave?!"
Hu Xiao withdrew his force, sneering, "Come and go as you please? What do you think Tiger King Territory is?!"
"You!"
Niu Dingtian looked at the ox horn pieces scattered on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, his anger no longer suppressible. "Hu Xiao, don't bully this ox too much!!!
You and I are of equal strength. If I truly fight with my life, even if I can't kill you, I can cripple you!!"
"Tsk, equal strength?"
Hu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly at the words, calmly scrutinizing the large, clumsy black ox, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
The Vixen sent him here precisely to probe his true strength.
If he were to be defeated today and let him leave, what would happen?
He feared that enemies would follow one after another.
Tiger King Territory would never know peace, and his wife and children would be troubled by it!
At this thought.
Hu Xiao's killing intent was fully revealed, no longer hidden. He gripped the spear shaft with one hand and formed a hand seal, activating the Ten Thousand Spirits Grand Formation.
"Stupid ox!"
"Since you're willing to die for that Vixen, then leave your life behind!"
Profound formation patterns appeared, and the life seeds connected all the demon generals.
Under the tree, Xiong Da and Xiong Er were stunned at the sight. They suddenly felt a familiar sensation, their bodies weak and exhausted, as if their bodies had been hollowed out.
"Again?!"
"Oh no, big brother, I'm so dizzy, can you help me..."
"Go away, go away! I need to find a place to lie down too!"
The after-effects of the last Ten Thousand Spirits Formation had left him weak for several days.
In an instant.
The Ten Thousand Spirits Formation was complete!
His aura surged, and immense blood energy poured into Hu Xiao's body. He stepped into the eighth rank, unleashing terrifying pressure.
"It's done!"
Hu Xiao gazed at Niu Dingtian in front of him, beckoning with his finger, continuing to provoke, "Come here, stupid ox, this King will tell you how I played with that Vixen that day!"
As his voice fell.
"Moo moo moo!!!"
Niu Dingtian roared, snorting white mist from his nostrils, rage accumulating in his chest. His body instantly swelled several feet, muscles bulging, his form like a towering black mountain!
A pure, savage ox beast.
He had completely lost his reason!
"You're courting death!"
Niu Dingtian brandished his broadaxe, pressing down as if to suppress the heavens, stirring up mountain winds, and charged towards Hu Xiao with a thunderous roar from his throat.
"If you have the guts, don't hide from your Grandpa Niu!"
"Your Grandpa Hu is here!"
Hu Xiao, holding the Blood Soul Spear, strode forward to meet him, observing Niu Dingtian's movements as if in slow motion. The direction of his pores and muscles were all clearly visible.
Cross-rank combat already offered a huge advantage.
This clumsy ox, having been provoked, couldn't even tell north from south.
My advantage is maximized!
The next moment.
Boom!
A thunderous heavy stomp suddenly erupted. Niu Dingtian, holding his two broadaxes, swept them horizontally, as if to cleave Hu Xiao at the waist.
But as soon as he approached two steps, the spear technique, like a rain of pear blossoms, shot out. The dazzling sun shone on the spear tip, all piercing into the thick, dark ox body.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Each spear thrust, in an instant, turned Niu Dingtian's thick-skinned, rough-fleshed body into a living target, blood spurting everywhere.
His muscles and skin trembled with pain, rippling like boiling water.
"Moo moo!"
Niu Dingtian lifted his foot to resist, but Hu Xiao countered with a spear thrust, shattering two patellas and severing the mobility of his legs.
Then, he specifically aimed his spear at the thick broadaxe blades.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Blood Soul Spear broke through defenses with precise strikes. Hu Xiao struck Niu Dingtian's broadaxes one after another, the force doubling with each blow, until they were completely shattered!
The next moment.
Bang!
The two broadaxes shattered, and the black iron fell to the ground!
Without weapons...
Niu Dingtian's eyes instantly cleared.
The ranks weren't on the same level, so what was the point of fighting?!
Hu Xiao had truly entered the eighth-rank Great Demon!
Thinking of this.
Niu Dingtian plopped to his knees on the ground, his massive ox head pressed against the earth, his spine arched high, and he cried out loudly.
"Grandpa Hu, I surrender! Mercy!!!"
"Mercy?!"
Hu Xiao sniffed the scent of blood, enjoying the kill. A cruel smile played on his lips as he kicked a piece of ox horn in front of him.
"Pick up the ox horn."
"?"
"This King told you to pick up the ox horn!"
"Yes... Yes, Great King."
Niu Dingtian bowed his head, confused, trembling as he picked up the fragments on the ground. Thefishy stench of blood soaked his hands, and his ox ears twitched foolishly.
However, just then, a chilling voice fell.
"Those who violate Tiger King Territory shall be executed!"
Hu Xiao plunged his spear down, instantly piercing through Niu Dingtian's skull, destroying his spirit and soul, directly penetrating his sea of consciousness and severing all signs of life!
Annihilation!
In an instant.
The mountain wind suddenly fell silent.
The wild aura subsided, and the world became utterly still. Leaves spun and drifted down, slowly covering the ox carcass.
Hu Xiao raised his head, sniffing the air.
Faintly, he felt a few auras probing, then quickly retreating.
With Niu Dingtian's death, his authority was completely established. After this battle, the nearby Great Demons would retreat in fear.
"Someone!"
"Great King, what are your orders?"
"Cut off this stupid ox's head and hang it on the mountain gate as a warning to others!"
"Yes, Great King!"
