“Young lad, don’t overestimate your own ability. Be sensible and don’t act on impulse.”
Lu Tianhua, the gatekeeper of the Human Clan who had been silent all this while, swept his piercing eyes over Ding Hao, shaking his head. Obviously, he did not fancy Ding Hao’s chances. As a member of the Human Clan, he had to offer him this piece of advice out of kindness.
“What abilities do you need to slaughter a wolf pup?”
Ding Hao walked toward the Black Wolf Demon Emperor with slow steps.
On the spiral staircase, the Black Wolf Demon, who was just about to climb to the next floor, also stopped. He sneered, watching the scene below. He was no longer in a hurry to go up to the 96th floor. To see this miserable wretch of the Human Clan torn into pieces by his cousin would thoroughly intoxicate him.
“I really don’t know whether I should commend you for your courage, or laugh at your stupidity.” Light shot out from the bloodshot eyes of the Black Wolf Demon Emperor, enveloping Ding Hao’s body. The faint wails of ghosts and howls of wolves could be heard.
He enunciated each word. “I will torture you slowly to death, and make you long to die without being able to.”
“What a nag. Go to hell!” A silver glitter gleamed across Ding Hao’s eyes like a sharp sword, slashing through the bloody light enveloping his body.
He took a step forward, and was instantaneously in front of the Black Wolf Demon Emperor.
“Shrinking a mile into mere inches?”
Everyone was shocked in an instant.
This was a great magical ability, involving distortion of the rules of space.
The black-armored man had actually mastered such a wonderful technique? Or had he used some Precious Weapon?
The Black Wolf Demon Emperor was shocked and realized that he was in trouble.
However, the next moment, there was an irrepressible dragon roar in the air. A purplish ball of light wrapped around Ding Hao’s arm. He had already punched out, his right fist cloaked in a halo of purple light.
“Black Wolf Demon Claw!”
With a fierce bellow, the Black Wolf Demon Emperor struck out his palm.
In an instant, countless black stiff hairs sprouted on his right hand, and his nails turned black. His palm suddenly expanded, turning into a massive wolf claw, with black Demon Aura twirling around his fingers.
The moment the fist and the palm collided, the wolf claw caught Ding Hao’s fist.
“Shatter!” The Black Wolf Demon Emperor shouted.
The magical powers and strength of the Black Demon Wolves were concentrated in their claws.
The Black Wolf Demon Deity from the Archean Period was renowned for snapping divine weapons with his bare claws. In this tower, the Qi of the Human warriors and the Demon Aura of the Demon masters were suppressed. Most of the time, the winner of the duels would be the one with greater physical strength. Everyone knew that Demons were born with powerful physiques, with their physical strength many times stronger than that of Humans.
Ding Hao seemed to be almost suicidal in the way he fought.
However, the complacent smile on the Black Wolf Demon Emperor’s face soon turned into astonished horror. Everyone was flabbergasted. They saw that that massive black wolf claw, which had completely wrapped Ding Hao’s palm, penetrated by purple beams of light…
“This is…” Someone cried out in alarm.
The next moment, under the projection of the purple light, the entire wolf claw of the Black Wolf Demon Emperor soon disintegrated into a powdery mist, like shreds of paper in a raging fire, dissipating into the air.
“No…!” The Black Wolf Demon Emperor bellowed in horror.
He retreated like a bolt of lightning.
Unfortunately, Ding Hao did not give him a second chance.
His unparalleled physical strength burst out. The power of his whole body, with his backbone as the axis, shook every fiber of his muscle, flowing constantly and surging out. The Purple Emperor Jade in Stone had transformed his body, and his physical power erupted like a raging flood, gushing out from his right fist.
Boom!
As the Black Wolf Demon Emperor howled in horror, his body directly detonated into bloody mists by Ding Hao’s punch. His body was destroyed forever.
His black spirit, taking the form of a wolf pup, screamed in the air and tried to escape.
“Meow!” Evil Moon, who had been long waiting for this chance, took action.
How could this Demon King, who had worked together with Ding Hao countless times, let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
It leaped up like a bolt of gray lightning and easily swallowed the spirit of the Black Wolf Demon Emperor, completely destroying any chance of this Demon Royal resurrecting.
“Damn me, Limitless Lord of Heaven!” Uncle Tianshu bit his tongue.
He too was thoroughly shocked by the power of this punch.
The air was filled with astonished gasps.
The experts who were watching this fight all felt the pain of gasping too hard.
Previously, they had all thought Ding Hao on a suicidal mission. Yet now, countless pairs of eyes had popped out of their sockets. All of them gaped in disbelief, like they had just seen a rooster lay eggs. It was impossible to express the shock they felt inside.
“Clink! Clink!”
The Blood-coagulating Twin Swords lost control and clattered to the floor. Their master, Lu Tianhua, stood rooted like a petrified rock. He was so shocked that he forgot to control the weapons he was most proud of.
Lu Tianhua knew very well how terrifying the Black Wolf Demon Emperor was.
The Wolf Demon Emperor’s Demon Aura cultivation was at the peak of the Demon Royal Realm, and the innate physique of the Black Demon Wolf Tribe also made his combat ability in this tower comparable to some half-level Martial Grand Emperors. He would not have been appointed the gatekeeper of the Demon Clan by their absolute masters otherwise.
Even if Lu Tianhua fought against this fierce and bloodthirsty Wolf Demon, he only stood a less-than-30% chance to defeat him.
How could this expert of the Demon Clan detonate in a punch?
Who exactly was this brawny man in black iron armor?
Was he a Great Archean Beast disguised as Human?
How could a warrior cultivate his physical strength to such a brutal degree?
At this moment, there was a dead silence on the tower’s 95th floor.
The experts of the Demon Clan were all ashen-faced, as if darts were embedded in their backs. They felt a great unease. The strength of this brawny man in black armor suffocated them, like a huge mountain weighing down on their hearts. They almost could not breathe.
Ding Hao ignored everyone’s shock.
With eyes shining like lightning bolts, he looked up at the Black Wolf Demon on the stairs.
The Black Wolf Demon’s grim smile was still frozen on his face due to the great shock and horror. He shivered when Ding Hao fixed his eyes on him. The moment he met Ding Hao’s eyes, terror overwhelmed him like an unstoppable tide. His cousin’s death had shown that he was definitely no match for this brawny man in black armor.
He instantly realized that he was in trouble too.
With a cry of surprise, the Black Wolf Demon turned around and ran up the spiral staircase without glancing back…
“Trying to escape? Dream on!”
Ding Hao’s figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
It seemed to be that same magical power again—shrinking a mile into mere inches.
In fact, it was the unique power of the Heaven-Earth Blood Bone from that black demonic beast Ding Hao slew on the Sage Battlefield. Although his Hell Ice Qi had been suppressed here, Ding Hao could still activate this magical power with his Bi Fang’s Fire.
This magical power was not really compressing the rules of space. He was not truly shrinking a mile into inches.
However, as displayed here, he was certainly moving fast enough.
In an instant, Ding Hao reached the front of the Black Wolf Demon. He slapped him with a backhand, as a Qi current in the form of a purple dragon crashed down on him like a hurricane. A deafening dragon’s roar resounded in the air.
“No…” The Black Wolf Demon wailed in horror. “Great Martial Uncle, save me!”
With a deathly pale face, he frantically parried and desperately unleashed all the Demonic Aura he could. His body swelled, turning into a huge black wolf. He resembled a trapped beast fighting its last battle.
However, the wolf-like body he was so proud of began to disintegrate under the purple Qi, like gravel in the wind.
At this moment…
“Stop. Who’s the impudent Human who dares slaughter the Black Demon Wolves?”
A voice reverberated, as imperious as a deity’s.
The voice was extremely majestic, like an emperor lording over every living being. It pounded down like a thunderclap from above the spiral staircase, surging down on the 95th floor, making everyone feel as small and insignificant as ants in the sea.
At the same time, there was another inky Demonic Aura.
This Demon Aura was bizarrely black, seemingly distorting and engulfing the light around it. It descended the spiral staircase and turned into a massive black Wolf Claw. Like a giant hand about to pinch an ant, it streaked toward Ding Hao, trying to squash him.
The black Demon Aura surged, carrying with it a strong and imposing force that was difficult to repel. In the blink of an eye, its shock waves easily disintegrated Ding Hao’s purple dragon-shaped punch.
“Many thanks, Great Martial Uncle…”
Although more than half of the Black Wolf Demon’s body had been maimed, the joy of escaping death made tears almost roll down his cheeks.
“It’s a Martial Sage expert!”
A Human expert in the crowd cried out in surprise.
The experts of the Demon Clan started to cheer, like weary travelers at last seeing the light after a night of valiant struggle. This imposing voice instantly shattered the heavy boulder weighing down on their hearts.
All the hairs on Ding Hao’s body stood on end.
Ding Hao did not have time to ponder how the Demon with that imperious and majestic voice was able to unleash his Demon Aura in this suppressing environment. His massive black Wolf Claw made Ding Hao smell the stench of death almost instantaneously.
He did not hesitate. That broken Devil Saber appeared in his hand.
Ding Hao had learned his previous lesson of activating the rusted sword to the full. This time, he only injected into it a little of the Bi Fang’s Fire. He left some in reserve. Even so, he felt the energy in his body drain rapidly away.
The black Devil Saber emitted a scorching heat. The saber body did not renew itself and become whole again. Instead, it turned dazzling red, as flames twirled around it.
Grasping the devil saber, Ding Hao stood his ground.
A terrifying and uncontrollable power emanated from his body.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
There was the noise of whistling sabers and swords on the entire 95th level of the celestial tower. At this moment, everyone was shocked to find the weapons they were so adept at shake uncontrollably. These weapons seemed about to break free and fly out.
Some of the warriors with lower strength could not control their weapons. Their swords and sabers flew out of their scabbards, hovering in the air. These weapons bowed to Ding Hao, who was standing on the spiral staircase.
Like a subject prostrating before his sovereign.
What a totally bizarre scene.
