295: A shocking battle!

In a clearing on the edge of the Yunxia Mountain Range in Jiangnan District.

After Xia Fan arrived, he looked at the Shadow Demon Emperor. The latter scrutinized him and asked, puzzled, "Tiger King, are you a person from a later generation?"

The "person from a later generation" in the Shadow Demon Emperor's words actually referred to the current era.

Because he came from ancient times, in his eyes, the current era was already the later generation.

Xia Fan did not answer, instead, he merged with Magic Cat, and then his aura continuously condensed, "If you want to fight, then fight. Why so much nonsense?"

"Good!"

"This Emperor appreciates you!"

Swoosh—

As soon as his voice fell, the Shadow Demon Emperor's figure suddenly vanished.

The next second, he appeared behind Xia Fan from an extremely tricky angle, his outstretched hand containing an extremely powerful force.

Bang!

In the nick of time, Xia Fan whipped his tail, deftly dodging the attack, then raised his hand and threw a bolt of thunder directly at his opponent.

Currently, although Xia Fan was only at the early stage of the eighth rank, with the assistance of Magic Cat, who was at the late stage of the seventh rank, he showed no fear when facing the Shadow Demon Emperor, who possessed the strength of the late eighth rank.

Seeing the Shadow Demon Emperor disappear from his sight again, he snorted coldly, "Does a strong person like you only know how to hide and dodge? Do you dare to fight me head-on?"

"This Emperor knows you are a strong person from a later generation, so I dare not be overconfident. I can only use such tricks to deal with you."

"Heavenly Thunder!"

In an instant, Xia Fan threw several more bolts of thunder, illuminating the surroundings brightly.

His sharp tiger eyes stared intently around him, finally locating his opponent in a patch of shadow. He immediately roared, firing a purple energy beam, "Purple Crystal Sun Piercer!"

Rumble—

This ordinary probing move unleashed immense power, directly blasting a large pit where the Shadow Demon Emperor had been hiding.

But the Shadow Demon Emperor was not injured.

He reappeared in front of Xia Fan, now having also transformed into a Giant Tiger, and looked at him with a hint of mockery, "They all say how formidable you, the Jiangnan Tiger King, are, but now it seems you are not so impressive."

"Could it be that you are merely famous in name?"

Xia Fan didn't care about these taunts, but the fact that his opponent had transformed into his likeness immediately enraged him, "You are not worthy of looking exactly like this King!"

"Die for me!"

Rumble!

In an instant, a massive black hole appeared not far behind the Shadow Demon Emperor, rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed.

The latter was startled, "How do you possess such an ability?"

"Hahaha, so you, the Jiangnan Tiger King, are also one of my kind. If so, then we must definitely determine a victor between us!"

"This Emperor is very curious to see how formidable you, this rising star, have become!"

He felt a very familiar power from the Great Devouring Realm and naturally assumed that Xia Fan was one of his kind, lurking in this world for some purpose.

After all, the Shadow Demon Emperor had never seen anyone who could maintain their original self after devouring a large amount of dark energy.

But the Xia Fan before him was precisely such a person.

"This King said, I disdain to be associated with you!"

Xia Fan didn't care what his opponent thought.

Seeing the Great Devouring Realm move rapidly towards the Shadow Demon Emperor, he threw several more bolts of Heavenly Thunder, forcing his opponent to dodge.

In the field, earth-shattering sounds continuously spread, creating a huge commotion!

Far from the battlefield, the Descendant of the Earth Mother stood on the treetop of a tree, staring at the battlefield ahead, and couldn't help but sigh, "This Demon Tiger King has actually grown to such an extent, able to contend with this Shadow Demon Emperor!"

"It's truly too surprising!"

The Descendant of the Earth Mother had thought that Xia Fan would be no match for the Shadow Demon Emperor, but the reality was completely different.

Although Xia Fan had the assistance of Magic Cat, which was considered external help, being able to trade blows with the Shadow Demon Emperor also showed that he was actually not bad!

"The Demon Tiger King truly has some skill, no wonder even the Willow God said it might not be able to defeat him back then."

"However... you are ultimately not a strong person on the righteous path, otherwise, I could provide you with more support to help you advance further!"

"But for now, having you, the Demon Tiger King, blocking the way, is not bad!"

As the Mother Earth thought of this, she sighed deeply in her heart.

Currently, the demons are rampant, causing countless chaos in places like the Divine Land, and an unknown number of innocent people have been devoured, massacred, and even wished for death but could not find it.

Although there were also some strong individuals among humanity, facing such a large number of demons, they could only protect a small number of areas, and any more would be beyond their capacity.

Fortunately, the Descendant of the Earth Mother discovered that the Demon Tiger King was also a major force in resisting the demons.

Listening to the continuous roar in the distance, the Descendant of the Earth Mother secretly thought, "If this time, the Demon Tiger King can severely wound the Shadow Demon Emperor, that would be excellent!"

"At that time, I can take the opportunity to kill this terrifying opponent, the Shadow Demon Emperor, and put an end to him."

"Even if the Demon Tiger King dies at the hands of the Shadow Demon Emperor because of this, it would still be acceptable!"

Although the Descendant of the Earth Mother saw Xia Fan and the Shadow Demon Emperor still fighting, it was not difficult to see that the strength gap between them was not large. If the situation she imagined truly occurred, one side would definitely suffer heavy damage.

Rumble—

On the battlefield, Xia Fan forced the Shadow Demon Emperor back with one blow. Seeing him once again merge into the shadows, waiting for an opportunity, Xia Fan couldn't help but feel furious, yet he had no way to deal with him.

"Jiangnan Tiger King, why aren't you fighting anymore?"

A moment later, the Shadow Demon Emperor reappeared opposite Xia Fan, a faint smile on his face, "This Emperor isn't satisfied yet, are you already giving up?"

"How about this, this Emperor will go easy on you, so you have a chance to defeat me?"

Despite his words, he remained extremely vigilant, constantly monitoring the surroundings!

The Shadow Demon Emperor was not worried about Xia Fan's ordinary attack methods. What he truly feared were the bolts of thunder that occasionally appeared, and the Great Devouring Realm that had been lurking nearby, eyeing him menacingly!

These two methods, one could destroy his demonic energy, and the other could devour it. Therefore, when attacking, he deliberately avoided these two methods.

"So much nonsense!"

Xia Fan snorted coldly. At this moment, he suddenly raised his hand, activating the power of the Source of Thunder, and with the rule power of the source, he drew countless bolts of thunder to gather above his head.

The next moment, he pointed at the Shadow Demon Emperor and roared, "Heavenly Thunder!"

Rumble—

In an instant, the area where the Shadow Demon Emperor was located transformed into a kingdom of thunder. For a full half-hour, countless bolts of thunder fell like a torrential downpour.

Xia Fan stared intently ahead, his gaze constantly shifting, seemingly wanting to see clearly how the Shadow Demon Emperor would face his attack.

But even after the thunder dissipated, the Shadow Demon Emperor's figure had not vanished.

Seeing this, Xia Fan let out a soft exclamation, "Dead? That's impossible..."
