Under the stars, a great ox and a colossal dragon struggled against one another from a distance.

  Li Qingshan widened his eyes as jets of white air rushed out of his nostrils. He droned, “Come and fight me, bastard!”


  Si Long expanded to the limit, waving his claws and teeth around while spraying out more miasma, forming a poisonous cloud around him. He climbed up the sky desperately, but he was still being dragged down inch by inch.

  Li Qingshan let out an interjection of surprise. His hooves were also being lifted inch by inch, which immediately reminded him of an extremely deep principle from his previous life. “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”


  After becoming a dragon, Si Long’s physique had always been exceptionally powerful, and it had been further strengthened after being reborn in the Demon domain. Li Qingshan’s Force Field of the Earth was powerful, but it was not his own strength after all.

  If this continued, they would not be colliding mid-air. The Strength of the Earth had constantly been playing a great role in why Li Qingshan could match him. Once his hooves left the ground, it would weaken, and he would definitely lose control over Si Long.

  However, he was not fighting alone.

  The sound of bells pierced the night sky like a strand of cold silk.

  Si Long shuddered inside. Xiao An suddenly rushed out of the colourful clouds, appearing directly over his head. The Buddha Slaying sword drifted down as a slash without any aura at all.

  The threat of death immediately filled his mind. Qian Rongzhi murmured, “Die!”


  “Never!”


  Without any hesitation, Si Long rushed towards Li Qingshan. Under the Force Field of the Earth. He arrived before Li Qingshan immediately, abruptly turning into human form. A twisted flash illuminated Li Qingshan’s eyes.

  As if he had been anticipating this the entire time, Li Qingshan turned his head, and his curved horn thrusted towards Si Long like a sharp blade. It seemed clumsy, but it seemed ungraspable at the same time. All of his power was condensed at the tip of the horn.

  The Ox Demon Butts its Horns! Li Qingshan also called this move, “Fuck your lungs!”


  Si Long’s eyes narrowed. After transforming into the ox demon, Li Qingshan’s reactions had always appeared slow. He never expected him to still be able to launch a counterattack like that when it truly mattered.

  All of his hairs stood on end, and the threat of danger deepened. Xiao An’s sword continued to press closer silently. If he received Li Qingshan’s blow forcefully, he would struggle to block the sword.

  In that critical moment, he merged with the sword. The trajectory suddenly twisted, brushing past the ox horn and producing a series of sparks. He fled into the distance without any hesitation.

  Li Qingshan found it to be quite a pity. If it were not for the fact that his feet had almost left the ground, preventing him from using all of his strength, he would have left Si Long half-dead with that headbutt.

  He immediately reached towards the flash of light, wanting to use the Force Field of Earth on it, but the sword constantly twisted about, such that he struggled to lock on. He could expand the range of the force field and lock onto him roughly, but it definitely would not be powerful enough. The sword was flying away horizontally too, so he could not pull it down like before, which made his power decrease yet again. Probably a few seconds was all that it would take for Si Long to escape for good.

  Thinking about it, he ended up lowering his hand. That was a Demon Sovereign after all. He could put up a fight, but killing him was truly difficult.

  Xiao An landed on his head gently. Li Qingshan stroked his horn. “Heh, fortunately, this part of me is stiff enough!”


  Xiao An pouted. “Sex fiend.”


  “Hey, I’m talking about my horn! What would a kid like you know?”


  Li Qingshan steadily made his way towards the direction that the sword had fled.

  Boom! Boom!Boom!

  With his heavy footsteps, he arrived at the top of a mountain. Up ahead was not Black Cloud city, but the Demon domain.

  Xiao An said, “Be careful. I’ll stand by for now and strike later.”


  “Since I’m not content with this, then I’ll have to pay!”


  Li Qingshan grinned. If Si Long fled towards Black Cloud city, then there was nothing he could do. However, if he went to the Demon domain, then they would confront each other again.

  Li Qingshan seemed to gain the upper hand in their clashes earlier, but he was actually a little powerless over Si Long. Instead, if he could not endure Si Long’s attacks, he would struggle to escape his pursuit.

  Si Long obviously was not content with just this, wanting to fight again. If he won, he could personally achieve revenge and clear all the obstacles preventing him from returning to the Myriad sect. If he were defeated, he could still flee at any moment he wanted. He was basically untouchable.

  However, how could it all be that simple?

  Xiao An drifted away and vanished again.

  Li Qingshan’s figure gradually shrank. He arched his back and his footsteps became lighter, but his aura of malice also intensified. His eyes turned scarlet-red like fire as if he viewed all living creatures as prey. He gave off a stunning charm.

  A white beard sprouted near his mouth, and his slight smile had already become filled with razor-sharp teeth. Black stripes spread over his body, forming the Chinese character “王” on his forehead.

  In an instant, he had gone from the Ox Demon Transformation to the tiger demon. He was dignified and imposing, drawing a huge blade in one stroke.

  Roar!

  His cry shook up the mountains. The wings of wind condensed behind him, suddenly unfurling to the limit and taking to the skies. He whistled through the air. With a whoosh, he rushed through the white clouds, lunging towards Si Long with killing intent.

  When it came to flying longer distances, the phoenix obviously was more graceful and had an easier time, but in terms of explosive speed, the tiger demon possessed an absolute advantage.

  Life and death came down to a single moment. It was a struggle over who was more vicious faster. “Giving wings to a tiger” was not just for say.

  Si Long paused at the boundary between the Human realm and the Demon domain. This was where the laws of the world were most intense. Even he could feel his powers greatly suppressed.

  This kind of suppression did not just affect his physique or powers. Even his venom had become less potent. All extraordinary powers had been weakened from their very foundations. Instead, mortals were least affected here.

  Many wounds normally of no concern could become fatal here. This was why cultivators would become extremely careful when their armies clashed at the boundary. Most Human Sovereigns and Demon Sovereigns perished in a region like this.

  But compared to the Human realm, he possessed a tremendous advantage here, as he was blessed by the heavens of the Demon domain. At the same time, it was still very difficult for that bitch to make trouble for him. If Li Qingshan faced repulsion from the laws of the Demon domain, it would be even better.

  Abruptly, he looked back and met a pair of tiger eyes, which made him shudder inside.

  The Nightmare Tiger’s Demonic Eye—one of the tiger demon’s innate abilities.

  Legends said that the eyes of a tiger possessed hypnotic properties, able to immobilise prey. The tiger demon did indeed have that ability. It could turn vulnerable ghosts into haunts, which would serve it as slaves.

  Transforming into the tiger demon, every single glance from Li Qingshan possessed that ability. If he encountered any opponents with weaker wills in his battles, they might even be limited to just seventy percent of their strength. Even those with sturdy wills would be affected, weakening their auras from being viciously suppressed by the killing intent. They could end up dying in the tiger’s mouth from the slightest carelessness.

  Li Qingshan descended from above and rushed into the boundary. The wings of wind immediately became much smaller, and he slowed down. His eyes did not seem so terrifying anymore either.

  Si Long eased up inside. He sneered and tightened his grip around his sword.

  “Frenzy of the Tiger Demon!”


  Li Qingshan grinned viciously. He suddenly kicked off the ground, and the wings of wind behind him expanded. The gales whistled; he actually accelerated in an unbelievable fashion, breaking through the restraints from the laws of the world and arriving right before Si Long.

  His eyes shone frighteningly as he bellowed out, “Tiger!”


  The surroundings shook as his murderousness erupted, slashing down!

  Si Long’s vision darkened. His sword-wielding hand trembled, like he was in dire straits.
