Above the torrential lake, bolts of lightning ripped through the night sky.
An invisible shockwave spread out in all directions. In that instant, countless waves were torn to pieces. A large region of water actually recovered its peace for a moment before immediately becoming even more turbulent.
In the lake, two colossal figures faced off against each other. The crimson eyes that were like burning charcoal and the wolf eyes that shone with jade-green light shot out like lightning, clashing in the air. They were both violent and bloodthirsty.
However, in Li Qingshan's eyes, apart from the violent and bloodthirsty look, there was also a sense of steadiness akin to a mountain as he looked down on E Dan.
A pair of curved horns stabbed into the sky, and a pair of hooves dug into the ground. The deep lake water only reached his waist, and the huge fist constantly slammed against his pitch-black, reef-like chest.
E Dan stood closer to the island, so the terrain was much higher. However, he was still more than a head lower than Li Qingshan. He could not help but raise his head and look at this "wretched daemon" who was much weaker than him in both cultivation and time of cultivation.
Blood flowed down his right arm, dyeing the water red in the blink of an eye. Apart from his startlingly great strength, the terrifying tremors contained in the punch were the true culprit behind the damage.
A shrill wolf's howl suddenly ripped through the night sky, coming from E Dan and the black wolf's tattooed mouth at the same time. His muscles bulged, and his bones extended, swelling up once again. Black wolf fur erupted from his body like spears, covering his entire body. He turned into a black wolf that stood on its hind legs. A long wolf tail even grew on its back, swinging wildly.
Li Qingshan also felt threatened. This person's personality was extremely detestable, but he was still an opponent worth fighting. His body and strength were definitely not something a regular Golden Core cultivator could possess. However, he found it strange. He's also half-human, half-daemon? I wonder what the origins of the Manor of Myriad Beasts are!
The Manor of Myriad Beasts was one of the major sects of the Dragon province. It was on par with the three major sects of the Green province, and it even surpassed them in certain aspects. It was specifically responsible for managing the Garden of Rare Beasts for the imperial family of Great Xia.
E Dan's master, the Beast King, was the lord of the Manor of Myriad Beasts, a great cultivator renowned throughout the Dragon province. In the Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts where the strong were respected, E Dan's strength naturally far surpassed that of his peers since he could become the Beast King's first disciple.
The disciples of the Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts had to attract beast souls into their bodies since they were young, and they would form tattoos on their bodies. When they fought, they did not need to rely on any external objects. They only needed to release the beast souls, and they would be able to possess terrifying combat power that far surpassed cultivators at the same level as them.
However, the deeper the release of the beast soul, the easier it was to be infected by the bestial nature. As a result, the temperament of its disciples was more barbaric and violent. They weren't bound by morals and etiquette, and they did whatever they wanted. They were close to the path of demons. Moreover, if he was not careful, even his soul would be devoured by the beast soul and become a sacrifice for the beast soul. Most of the disciples in the Mountain Villa of Beasts had died to the beast soul. Therefore, E Dan would not release the beast soul's power to such an extent unless it was a critical moment.
"Roar!" E Dan's back arched high. His feet kicked backwards, and in that instant, he lunged at Li Qingshan at an astonishing speed.
How could Li Qingshan not be afraid of facing him head-on? He straightened his back and punched out.
At this moment, a sense of foreboding arose in his heart, and a white light flashed before his eyes.
"Come, lightning!"
Jia Zhen pointed his feather fan at the sky, and a lightning snake as thick as a water tank descended from the sky. Brilliant lightning filled the world.
Li Qingshan's entire body shuddered. Although he did not suffer much damage due to his powerful physique, there was only a thin line in a battle between experts!
Bang! E Dan suddenly pushed Li Qingshan into the lake, and he bit at him fiercely, stirring up layers of huge waves.
After cultivating the fifth layer of the Ox Demon, Li Qingshan's ox hide had become extremely tough. E Dan had bitten his throat until it was drenched in blood, but he was unable to tear it apart completely. Moreover, even if he was really torn apart, as long as his tiger bones were fine, he would not die.
"Alright!"
Li Qingshan was not alarmed. Instead, he was overjoyed. He spread his arms wide and restrained E Dan tightly. With the Divine Earth Power as his foundation, he did not fear anyone in a head-on battle like this.
E Dan felt a wave of pain at his waist, and even his bones let out a faint groan as if they were about to be snapped alive. He exerted all his strength and finally managed to tear North Moon's throat open, but what flowed out was not blood, but balls of flames. The other party seemed to be completely fine. If he did not get out of this situation as soon as possible, he would definitely be the first to die.
However, the reason he had chosen to engage in close combat was definitely not because he had lost his rationality after releasing his beast soul. He roared in a low voice, "Jia Zhen, don't bother with those formations. Let's kill this monster first!"
A tremor suddenly came from beneath the mud at the bottom of the lake. One Rock Giant after another stood up from the mud at the bottom of the lake. Every single one of them was around seven to eight zhang tall. Although compared to Li Qingshan's figure that was over sixty zhang tall, they were like children. However, every single one of them possessed great strength, and they all grabbed onto Li Qingshan's arms and legs, pulling him back forcefully.
After completely releasing his beast soul, E Dan's strength had already been astonishingly great in the first place. It was only because he had encountered a monster like Li Qingshan that he had been suppressed. Now that he had the help of these Rock Giants, he immediately turned the situation around and gained the upper hand.
Li Qingshan's entire body shuddered, and the power of tremors was released. The Rock Giants were all scattered, but in the blink of an eye, even more Rock Giants appeared. It was as if there was no end to them. However, the Daemon Qi on his body was not endless. If this continued, he would definitely be the one who would not be able to hold on first.
Naturally, this was still Jia Zhen's doing. He stared at the battle in the lake, and his eyes were filled with shock. This was the first time he had seen E Dan fall into a disadvantageous position in close combat, and had no choice but to rely on external help.
This demon had to be eliminated!
He waved his feather fan repeatedly, casting various techniques. With each wave, E Dan's strength would increase, becoming stronger and more powerful. His body was enveloped in a defensive spiritual light, and even the injuries he had sustained were rapidly recovering.
From the beginning to the end, he had not used any spiritual tools or arcane tools. He only waved the feather fan in his hand back and forth. However, the various techniques of the five elements that he had cast were as simple as eating and drinking. Furthermore, they were all shockingly powerful. Even Li Qingshan could not underestimate them.
The fact that Li Qingshan was equipped with five arcane tools at the Foundation Building realm was already shocking to many. Meanwhile, Jia Zhen, who was at the peak of the Golden Core realm, was equipped with twice as many arcane tools as E Dan. There were rings on both of his hands, a necklace around his neck, a sachet hanging from his waist, the magical robes he wore, and so on. There were a total of ten arcane tools, and not a single one of them was below the medium grade. The feather fan in his hand was even a supreme grade arcane tool that was worth cities.
However, none of these arcane tools were like flying swords that could be used to directly attack an enemy. All of them were used to increase the power of the techniques he cast, as well as the speed at which he recovered his arcane power. In contrast to E Dan who did not rely on external objects, Jia Zhen utilized the strengths of human cultivators to the extreme.
Li Qingshan frowned. It was not in his nature to resign himself to death. He circulated his power and struggled, and E Dan was instantly unable to suppress him. He roared at Jia Zhen, "Don't waste your talismans!"
"I'll naturally use them when I need to!" As Jia Zhen spoke, he tossed out a purple talisman and stuck it on E Dan's back.
E Dan's entire body shone with golden light, forming a layer of Vajra Avatar around him. It was the Vajra Strength Talisman that Li Qingshan had not used for a long time. However, this purple talisman was countless times more powerful than the yellow talisman he had first seen.
