Chapter 436 - 326: A Tiger in the Path (2)

It was like striking an incomparably hard Divine Mountain, unable to move it in the slightest.

"First Stage, Transformed Whale!"

The next moment.

Han Yuan’s body suddenly swelled, transforming him into a small giant. His muscles bulged as he swung the Heaven-Defying Saber in his hand, unleashing a dense flurry of vicious saber light.

An endless aura of decay spread out.

Evil Tiger felt as if he were seeing a vision of all things withering and dying.

He roared, his other hand also transforming into a bloody tiger claw as he relentlessly swung the Meteor Hammer!

CLANG CLANG CLANG!!!

The Meteor Hammer and the Heaven-Defying Saber clashed repeatedly, erupting with terrifying shockwaves.

Han Yuan and Evil Tiger began to fight madly.

The saber light flashed so densely it was dizzying.

The afterimages of the hammer were vicious, as if wanting to destroy everything.

RUMBLE!!!

The market stalls and shops were being frantically destroyed.

Buildings collapsed one after another, turning into ruins!

The scene looked as if two giant beasts were fighting, destroying everything in their path.

"You damn bastard!!!"

Evil Tiger roared.

His entire body was covered in bloody gashes cut by the Heaven-Defying Saber.

But Han Yuan’s Horizontal Training was astonishingly formidable; even when the Meteor Hammer smashed into him, it had no effect at all.

If this continued, he was afraid he would be chopped into mincemeat by Han Yuan.

"You’re really something else!"

Evil Tiger roared at the sky, violently swinging the Meteor Hammer with both hands to build up immense force before smashing it toward Han Yuan.

BANG!

Even Han Yuan couldn’t resist this tremendous force and was sent stumbling back more than a dozen steps.

With each step back, the floor tiles shattered and exploded into dust.

After forcing Han Yuan back, Evil Tiger roared to the heavens. His physique suddenly expanded, dense, blood-red fur sprouted all over his body, and a scarlet character for "King" (王) appeared on his forehead.

From a distance, he looked just like a massive, bipedal, blood-red tiger!

ROAR!!!

Evil Tiger roared madly, grabbing the Meteor Hammer with one hand. With a throwing motion very similar to that in American football, he hurled it violently at Han Yuan.

WHOOSH!!!

Han Yuan’s eyes narrowed. The Five Emperors Great Demon True Qi gathered frantically in his right arm as he threw a punch.

Primordial Heaven-Burning!

BOOM!!!

As his fist shot out, a brilliant flash of fire erupted.

The Meteor Hammer was actually smashed to pieces by Han Yuan’s punch!

The next moment.

Evil Tiger’s massive body abruptly appeared in front of Han Yuan, his two blood-red tiger claws swiping down madly, trying to tear him to shreds.

Han Yuan grinned and directly activated his Second Stage transformation: Demon Whale Transformation!

BOOM!!!

Five Emperors Great Demon Qi erupted from his body.

In an instant, Han Yuan transformed into a muscular giant and swung his Heaven-Defying Saber!

RUMBLE!!

It was like Mars crashing into Earth.

After exchanging more than a dozen blows, Han Yuan decided it wasn’t satisfying enough. He dropped the Heaven-Defying Saber and started brawling with Evil Tiger with his bare fists!

’Fist to flesh, now *this* is a real man’s fight!’

Evil Tiger’s ferocity was also ignited. He roared to the sky, his scarlet claws slashing repeatedly, surging with a boundless bloody aura that created a terrifying scene like a mountain of corpses in a sea of blood.

BANG!

He viciously swiped a claw across Han Yuan’s body.

Even with his Horizontal Training honed to the extreme, five bloody gashes were torn across Han Yuan’s chest, so deep the bone was visible.

Han Yuan seized the opportunity, suddenly grabbing his arm. Using a throwing technique from the Giant Spirit Monument-Opening Hand, he executed a perfect shoulder throw, viciously slamming Evil Tiger into the ground.

CRASH!!!

The entire ground shook violently.

"Evil Tiger... you’re not all that, are you?"

Han Yuan grinned, raised his right leg, and stomped down hard on Evil Tiger.

Evil Tiger shot up from the ground and lunged ferociously at Han Yuan.

Han Yuan had been waiting for this exact moment.

His coiled right arm suddenly unleashed tremendous power, swinging down like a club.

Giant Spirit·Mountain Breaker!

His Hand Blade struck viciously at Evil Tiger’s head.

With a deafening boom!

Evil Tiger let out a miserable shriek. His eye sockets were beaten until they were bloodshot, splashing bloody fluid.

Han Yuan closed the distance and threw a heavy punch with his left arm.

Primordial Elemental Magnetic Burst!

His entire arm surged with a brilliant golden light, filled with a piercing aura, as if it could penetrate anything.

With the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Skill, the Five Elements could be shifted at will.

Heaven-Burning had the most destructive power, but when it came to piercing strength, the Gold Evil Qi was naturally superior.

SQUELCH!

Han Yuan’s entire arm punched straight through Sha Hu’s chest.

His heart was instantly obliterated, turning into a bloody pulp.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Evil Tiger stared at the arm piercing his chest and coughed up large mouthfuls of blood.

"Han Yuan..."

"I never thought I would lose."

Evil Tiger’s eyes showed astonishment, but no resentment.

Han Yuan had defeated him fair and square.

For Evil Tiger, being outmatched meant he deserved to die.

"You were a worthy opponent..."

"At least you made me use my full strength."

Han Yuan said softly.

"Cough, cough... A final piece of advice before I die."

"Wooden Snake is not so simple... Among the Twelve High Priests, he is the most powerful besides Nether Dragon."

"He’s also the one who planned all the operations against the Great Li Royal Family this time."

Evil Tiger coughed up another mouthful of blood.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be sending him to see you soon."

Han Yuan nodded lightly.

SQUELCH!

As he pulled his arm from Evil Tiger’s body, the other’s life force rapidly dissipated.

Han Yuan converted his Five Emperors Great Demon True Qi into Fire Evil Qi and set the corpse ablaze, quickly reducing it to ash.

By now, the marketplace had been completely reduced to a field of ruins.

Thankfully, no one else was here, or the casualties would have been devastating.

The black fog that had enveloped the area also began to dissipate rapidly.

Han Yuan didn’t linger, quickly heading back to the area he was assigned to guard.

In the Great Li Capital, a series of explosions had thrown the city into chaos, with signal fires and flames rising to the sky.

Even with the Divine Fire Forbidden Army trying to maintain order, it was utter chaos, filled with screams, wails, and roars.

The streets were filled with panicked citizens, all frantically trying to flee the city.

To prevent a stampede, the Divine Fire Forbidden Army had no choice but to open all the city gates.

「At that moment.」

A giant, three-meter-tall corpse with pale, rotting skin was rampaging through the streets, where a large number of bodies already lay strewn about.

Some of the bodies were even tainted by the corpse qi from the giant, undergoing a transformation and staggering back to their feet.

A large number of Divine Fire Forbidden Army soldiers formed a defensive line, trying to block the giant corpse.

SWISH SWISH SWISH!!!

Powerful flaming arrows streaked through the air, striking the giant corpse repeatedly.

But these flaming arrows couldn’t pierce its skin at all. The creature charged forward, and the formation held by the Divine Fire Forbidden Army was instantly shattered.

Many soldiers of the Divine Fire Forbidden Army were trampled into paste by the giant corpse.

「Just then.」

Dong Fangqu arrived with a dozen men from the Celestial Net Department and charged directly at the giant corpse.

"Kill!"

Dong Fangqu roared, a cold spear in his hand. He leaped into the air and thrust it forward!

SQUELCH!

The giant corpse’s reaction was quite slow, and its eyeball was instantly pierced and burst by Dong Fangqu’s spear!

At the same time, Dong Fangqu unleashed his Innate True Qi, and his spear erupted with bolts of lightning that scorched the giant corpse’s head.

But the giant corpse seemed to feel no pain. It thrashed its head wildly and swatted a palm viciously at Dong Fangqu.

Having no other choice, Dong Fangqu had to let go of his spear to dodge the attack.

SWOOSH!

The giant corpse suddenly opened its mouth.

Its head had been scorched, but its mouth was fine.

A rotten tongue covered in countless fleshy tendrils shot out like lightning, grabbing Dong Fangqu in mid-air and about to swallow him whole.

SWOOSH!!!

A vicious streak of black light suddenly shot forward, slicing the tongue in two like a bolt of lightning!

THUD!

The streak of black light landed in a nearby wall, revealing itself to be a terrifying great saber, ferocious in appearance and radiating an aura of countless grievances.

BANG!!!

Dong Fangqu landed on the ground at that moment as well.

Then, he saw a figure appear in the air like a descending Demon God. The figure’s palm was open, as if plucking the stars from the sky, and it slammed down viciously on the giant corpse’s head.

RUMBLE!!!

The ground shook violently, and many buildings collapsed outright.

The giant corpse’s entire head burst like a water-filled balloon, exploding into a shower of bloody pulp.

Even Dong Fangqu’s face was spattered with some of the rotten gore.
