The lion’s roar shook the heavens. The shockwaves started small but quickly grew larger, soon affecting a vast stretch of sky and land.
Boom boom boom—
Winds swept away the clouds in the sky, while mountains on the ground exploded!
Wherever the sound waves passed, nothing remained intact. Mountains cracked apart, grass and trees turned to dust!
“Damn lion, this is just a spar, yet you insist on fighting for your life!”
“Are you that sore about losing?!”
Feeling the terrifying scene behind him, Niu Xiaosheng’s heart pounded with fear. While cursing nonstop, he shook his body and transformed into a nearly hundred-zhang giant black ox.
“Divine ability, Fighting Bull Emperor Strength!”
The giant black ox spoke in human voice. Golden airflow surged around its body. The sound waves crashed against it, yet it barely felt any effect.
“Divine ability, Shifting Illusion Bull!”
Immediately afterwards, the giant black ox charged fiercely at the massive lion. Its pair of enormous black horns gleamed with a terrifying dark light under the sunlight, as if they could destroy anything!
Seeing the giant black ox charging with such momentum, the azure giant lion’s pupils shrank sharply. It raised a claw and slammed it down hard towards the black ox!
However, its claw passed straight through the black ox’s body.
The strike felt like hitting empty air, leaving the azure giant lion stunned. But right after, it sensed a great danger from behind.
Before it could react, it felt a tight grip from the rear!
“Roar…!!”
The azure giant lion let out a hoarse, exhausted scream. Its entire lion face twisted in agony.
Blood sprayed wildly from behind it!
This horrifying scene left all the great demons present completely dumbfounded. They instinctively clenched their buttocks.
This… this was far too brutal!!
Mo Fan, who had been fleeing frantically, snapped back to his senses when he heard the noise. He turned around and immediately witnessed a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.
A hundred-zhang giant lion was being brutally beaten by a hundred-zhang black ox!
A horn nearly twenty zhang long had viciously pierced straight into its body!
“Hiss!”
“How painful must that be!!”
Even Mo Fan could not help but suck in a cold breath!
“You filthy thing, this Little Saint will gore you to death!”
The giant black ox gave a sinister laugh. Then it jerked its horn upwards fiercely. The giant lion’s nose and eyes streamed with snot and tears. Its roar lost all strength and turned into a pathetic howl. Its entire body was directly flung away!
But at that moment, a massive fire phoenix appeared above the giant black ox. Its pair of sharp claws immediately grabbed towards its head!
The giant black ox sensed the danger and shuddered. It could not help screaming: “Laibao you bastard! We swore brotherhood! Now your brother is in trouble, yet you won’t help! Are you even a demon?!”
“Ahem…”
Mo Fan gave a couple of awkward coughs. He knew he could not just keep watching any longer, or his reputation would surely be ruined by this damned ox demon.
So he immediately shouted loudly: “Your Highness the Saint Son, show mercy to the demon!”
The fire phoenix paused slightly in mid-air, turned its head towards Mo Fan and spoke in human voice: “This guy just ambushed this Saint Son!”
“I know, but I can testify that it really was a misunderstanding!”
Mo Fan gave an embarrassed smile towards the other party, then pointed at the giant black ox and said: “This guy is my sworn brother, so strictly speaking, he’s on your side too, Saint Son!”
“He is not our enemy demon. Instead, he is our ally!”
“Is that so?”
The fire phoenix looked doubtful.
“Of course it is!”
The giant black ox chuckled. Its massive body began to shrink at a visible speed until it became only a zhang tall. With another shake, it revealed its spirit form and turned back into the chubby little boy with two horns on his head.
“I am the Saint Son of Giant Spirit Mountain, Niu Xiaosheng!”
“Greetings, Brother Feng Gu!”
Niu Xiaosheng looked up, smiled brightly and gave the fire phoenix a slight bow with his hands. That counted as a formal introduction.
Seeing this, the fire phoenix stopped attacking. Flames surged around its body, and it quickly returned to its spirit form as well. Then it gave Niu Xiaosheng a meaningful glance and said calmly: “Your strength is very powerful, but your methods are somewhat underhanded!”
“Uh…”
Niu Xiaosheng’s face twitched slightly. He gave an awkward smile but did not argue back.
In truth, although he was also a Saint Son, he knew he could only handle one at a time. The reason he had managed to catch both Saint Sons off guard and suppress them earlier was purely because he struck at the perfect moment.
“Saint Son, are you alright?”
In the distance, a group of great demons from Lion King Ridge supported Qing Hou, who had already returned to his spirit form. They looked at him with deep concern.
“Hmph! Try it yourselves and you’ll know if I’m alright or not!”
Qing Hou gritted his teeth and roared in anger. Even when facing those two early ancestral realm great demons, he showed no politeness!
“Saint Son, there is no need to take it to heart. Victory and defeat are common in battles. You only lost because you did not understand that ox demon’s divine abilities.
If there is a next time, he may not be able to injure you again!”
The Azure Lion Demon Ancestor came before Qing Hou and patted his shoulder earnestly.
No need to take it to heart?
When Qing Hou heard this, his face immediately twitched slightly.
“This humiliation today, this Saint Son will not let it go just like that. In the future, I must personally tear that ox demon to pieces to vent the hatred in my heart!!”
Qing Hou clenched his teeth. He knew very well that he could not fight any more right now. Over there, they had already shaken hands and made peace, standing together. If he attacked again, he would only lose even more face!
Whether it was Feng Gu or Niu Xiaosheng, he hated them both to the bone!
Especially that underhanded Niu Xiaosheng!
He wished he could eat his flesh and drink his blood!
The Azure Lion Demon Ancestor frowned slightly upon hearing this. No matter how detestable Niu Xiaosheng was, he was still a Saint Son. Behind him stood one of the strongest beings in the Ten Thousand Mountains. How could he be so easy to kill?
But at this moment, he could not afford to embarrass Qing Hou, so he nodded and said: “There will be an opportunity!”
Hearing this, Qing Hou felt much better. Then his face turned gloomy again as he said: “Today’s matter, none of you are to mention it to anyone outside! Otherwise, this Saint Son will pursue it to the death!!”
“Rest assured, Saint Son. We will not speak of it!”
The group of ancestral realm great demons instinctively touched their noses.
With so many demon ancestors protecting him, yet their Saint Son still got his rear end blasted. If word got out, their faces would also lose all dignity!
This was quite embarrassing for demons. Even if asked, they would feel too ashamed to say it.
After receiving the promise from the great demons, Qing Hou felt slightly relieved. He nodded and said: “Let’s go!”
With that, he pushed the demons aside and took a step forward, only to feel a heart-piercing, lung-splitting pain!
“Saint Son, what’s wrong?”
The demons all hurried forward with concern.
“Quick… quick, support me…”
After watching the group of Lion King Ridge great demons leave, Mo Fan finally turned to the two Saint Sons who had flown back. He smiled and said: “You two can now be considered friends forged through battle!”
“I do not have such an underhanded friend!”
Feng Gu gave a cold snort and instinctively moved a bit farther from Niu Xiaosheng.
“…”
Niu Xiaosheng was speechless. His pair of blood-coloured horns swayed as he spoke innocently: “Brother Feng Gu, your words are a bit too hurtful to a demon, aren’t they?”
But unexpectedly, Feng Gu glanced at the blood-stained horn on his head and moved even farther away…
“Ahem… Brother Niu, you should clean the blood off your horns first!”
“Looking at it like this is a bit nauseating!”
Mo Fan could not help speaking up either, and he also subconsciously moved a little farther away.
Who knew if there was some yellowish substance stuck on that guy’s horns…
…
