168: Violent hammering
Twins?
Is this the kind of plot you'd only come up with after getting an abortion-prevention shot to the head?
Fang Bai raised an eyebrow. "One look and I can tell you haven't seen much of the world. Look at you, exhausting your mind and efforts to refine the demon beasts of an entire forest just to break through your realm. I did it just by taking a nap. Brother Tiger, how about you reincarnate as a human in your next life?"
Upon hearing this, the Tiger Demon flew into a rage. "Human! You go too far!"
It roared and directly spat out a massive beam of light!
Fang Bai smiled disdainfully. "I dared to go head-to-head with you at the sixth tier. What kind of thing are you to me now?"
After speaking, Fang Bai clenched his fists, and powerful energy surged. Instantly, the Thunder Domain was activated, summoning startling thunder!
Crack!
A pillar of lightning struck the opponent's destruction beam directly. The two forces exploded, and all the trees within a radius of hundreds of meters were completely destroyed!
Amidst the smoke of the explosion, countless pitch-black shadows rapidly spread toward the massive dark silhouette, followed by bursts of booming sounds!
It was equivalent to two Seventh-Tier Experts ganging up on one. The situation was predictable!
Although the Tiger Demon had already broken through to the mid-stage of the seventh tier, the person it was facing was Fang Bai; it was simply no match for him!
For Fang Bai, encountering the Tiger Demon was a very pleasant surprise. He hadn't expected there to be a lone seventh-tier here!
This was practically Heaven's favor toward him!
It was destined to become his experience points!
Less than half an hour after the great battle began, the Tiger Demon was already suppressed by Fang Bai, and the injuries on its body grew more numerous.
The Tiger Demon grew more alarmed as the fight went on. Although it didn't want to admit it, Fang Bai had indeed surpassed it now!
This was a cruel reality!
The Tiger Demon was also extremely sharp. Knowing it was no match for Fang Bai, it began searching for a way to escape.
However, Fang Bai's attacks came from all directions, almost sealing off all its paths of retreat! There was simply no way out!
Fang Bai's shadow clone also possessed seventh-tier combat power. While it wasn't enough to kill the Tiger Demon, holding it back was no problem at all!
Meanwhile, Fang Bai's main body chose to attack aggressively!
Roar!
The Tiger Demon failed to dodge in time and took a hit to its back. One of its wings was instantly blown off!
“Awooo~”
The Tiger Demon wailed and retreated violently in disbelief!
It stared at Fang Bai with shock and fury, filled with immense wariness.
If this continued, it would surely die!
It had to escape quickly!
"Thinking of running? If I let you escape today, I won't return to the Human Race!"
Fang Bai sneered. He snapped his fingers, and everything within a radius of hundreds of meters fell within his domain!
The Tiger Demon's expression was one of shock. "When did you..."
To still have the leeway to disperse energy while fighting it... this human was too terrifying!
Fang Bai's figure floated in mid-air, lightning arcs flickering over him like a God of Thunder!
Rumble!
Bolts of terrifying lightning appeared within his domain. These lightning bolts were extremely bizarre—pitch black yet emitting an aura of destruction!
"This is a new skill I've comprehended. I call it—Dark Demon Thunder!"
The pitch-black lightning roamed within the domain like venomous snakes waiting to devour someone. The air was filled with the scorched scent of destruction.
The Tiger Demon's face changed drastically. It felt an intense sense of danger from this dark lightning!
Its remaining wing flapped violently, trying to use a burst of power to charge out of the domain. But just as it reached the edge, it was swept back by a bolt of black lightning, being violently repelled. Several deep, bone-deep burns instantly appeared on its wing.
"It's useless."
Fang Bai's voice was cold. With a flick of his finger, several bolts of Dark Demon Thunder seemed to gain sentience, all coiling toward the Tiger Demon's limbs.
"Your speed within my domain is as slow as a snail's."
The Tiger Demon's pupils shrank. It spat out a ball of golden demon fire with all its might, attempting to block the Dark Demon Thunder.
But as soon as the demon fire touched the lightning, it was bizarrely swallowed up instantly. Instead, it led the Dark Demon Thunder to coil around its front claws even faster.
Fang Bai's attacks carried the power of the dark attribute. When the opponent attacked, he abruptly activated a skill to swallow the opponent's attack into the endless darkness!
Amidst the "sizzle" sounds, the Tiger Demon's claws carbonized at a speed visible to the naked eye. The intense pain caused it to let out another heart-wrenching wail.
"Human! This is the territory of the Demon Realm! If you dare to kill this King, the Demon Lord will surely step in to deal with you!"
Seeing that its strength was no match, the Tiger Demon began to use verbal threats.
Fang Bai said disdainfully, "Today, let alone the Demon Lord, even a Demon God couldn't save you!"
"Clone, do it!" Fang Bai barked.
The shadow clone within the domain instantly charged out, condensing a long blade of lightning in its hand. It flashed behind the Tiger Demon and slashed down hard on its wounded back.
The Tiger Demon was already pinned down by the Dark Demon Thunder and couldn't dodge in time. With a "schlick" sound, another bone-deep wound was added to its back. Blood gushed out, splashing onto the scorched earth.
"No! This King is a Seventh-Tier Demon King! How could I fall at the hands of a mere human like you!"
The Tiger Demon fell into a total frenzy, its demon power exploding without reservation. It was actually trying to use self-detonation to take him down with it!
But just as it mobilized its demon power, Fang Bai had already appeared above its head. His fist, wrapped in dense lightning arcs, smashed heavily onto the crown of its head.
"Want to self-detonate? Did you ask me first?"
"Please, have a taste of my Fang Family specialty!"
Bang!
With a dull thud, the Tiger Demon's head shattered like a cracked watermelon, and its demon power instantly became chaotic and dissipated.
Its massive body swayed and crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Fang Bai landed, looking at the Tiger Demon's corpse with a hint of a smile on his lips.
He raised his hand and used suction. The demon core inside the Tiger Demon flew out automatically and landed in his palm—the mid-stage seventh-tier demon core was golden all over, still retaining some warm demon power.
"A nice experience pack."
Fang Bai weighed the demon core and glanced at the shadow clone. "Take its body. We're going back to show off!"
The shadow clone nodded.
[Ding! Killed a mid-stage Seventh-Tier Demon King! Obtained a massive amount of Alien Energy!]
[Detected that the Host meets the advancement conditions. Cultivation has broken through to the mid-stage of the seventh tier!]
[Extra reward triggered! Obtained skill—'The Final Heartfire']
[Note: This skill has harsh trigger conditions. It automatically activates when the Host's bodily functions are near death. The skill lasts for ten minutes. During this period, the Host's strength will skyrocket a hundredfold! Survival in the face of adversity! After the skill's duration, there will be a one-day cooldown period!]
Fang Bai's eyes lit up.
After all this time, he finally hit the jackpot!
Simply put, as long as he still had a breath left, he could turn the tables as long as the enemy wasn't too freakish!
"Hehe, now I'm truly invincible below the eighth tier!"
Fang Bai turned to look toward the depths of the forest, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Since there's a lone seventh-tier here, maybe there are more..."
With that, lightning arcs flashed around him, and his figure sped toward the depths of the forest like a bolt of lightning, leaving behind only a messy battlefield and the lingering scent of lightning in the air...
