"There's a spy!"

This loud shout immediately drew the attention of the surrounding demons. In an instant, a dozen or so lesser demons holding sharp blades swarmed forward.

The ox demon had no time to look at Chu Liang anymore.

"Which mountain, which cave are you from!" a lesser demon questioned loudly.

It looked like if the answer wasn't right, they would immediately hack him to pieces.

"I'm from your grandma's cave!" the ox demon roared, surprisingly taking the initiative to attack first, swinging his fist.

Bang!

His punch was powerful and heavy, hitting the lesser demon in the chest, instantly sending the lesser demon flying back dozens of feet, slamming hard against the wall of a side cave, directly embedding him there, like a mural.

Literally, hitting someone like hanging a painting.

He put a lot of force into this punch. As he twisted his body, the two large ox horns on his head also completely slid off. It turned out this ox demon was also disguised.

"It's a human!" a louder voice immediately shouted.

"So he's also a human?" Only then did Chu Liang understand the ox demon's previous action.

Presumably, he also wanted to sneak into the back hall, but didn't know the password, so he wanted to strike first and find a random lesser demon to get the password out of.

It was just a pity... this big smart guy found him.

"That's right, your Grandpa Ox is a human!"

Seeing that he was exposed, the man simply stopped pretending. He tore off the fake hair and ox horns on his head. Then, with a shake of his arms, he ripped apart the fake fur on his upper body, revealing a body of muscular, robust physique like Vajra.

Clothes bursting!

The surrounding lesser demons rushed up, shouting and hacking. He punched one, kicked a group, sending them flying, spitting blood, bones broken and tendons snapped. One person actually easily carved out a bloody path.

And the lesser demons' blades and spears couldn't even touch him in the slightest.

Chu Liang watched clearly from behind. This person seemed to be using a genuine Martial Dao technique.

Martial Dao cultivators, in the early stages of cultivation, place great importance on basic fist and foot techniques. If two people have the same speed and strength, but one has practiced martial arts, the result of the fight is likely to be a complete crushing.

The Sha they catalyze with internal energy is also slightly different from the true energy of the Three Teachings cultivators. It has fewer variations than true energy, but is more fierce and rigid.

Martial artists of the same realm usually have stronger killing power than Three Teachings cultivators.

If Three Teachings cultivators can still seek the Dao without seeking techniques, pursuing pure cultivation, then Martial Dao cultivators don't have so many rules. Their only goal in cultivation is two words: can fight.

Among the Divine Nine Immortal Sects, Tiangang Gate is a pure Martial Dao sect. Its disciples have always been known for their ability to fight.

And the divine envoy mentioned earlier that his Mountain River Suppressing Halberd seemed to have been taken from a Tiangang Gate disciple... Chu Liang thought for a moment and roughly knew the origin of this fierce man in front of him.

Looking at his young age, he already had at least Fourth Realm Martial Dao cultivation. In Tiangang Gate, even if he wasn't the chief disciple, he was one of the core disciples.

In just the blink of an eye, dozens of lesser demons had been killed or injured by him. This fierce man stepped on a bloody path and killed his way to the back hall where the congratulatory gifts were stored. There, a large halberd was prominently displayed.

His target was indeed this.

Chu Liang looked at the heavily injured and dead lesser demons on the ground, not without a strong urge to finish them off. If the situation wasn't still unclear and it wasn't suitable to reveal his identity, he really wanted to jump out and fight alongside Brother Fierce Man... specifically responsible for finishing off.

"Audacious human, how dare you cause trouble in my Hidden Forest Mountain!"

A violent tiger roar echoed, causing the cave to hum incessantly. Some lesser demons with shallow cultivation even lost their footing and fell on the spot.

It was none other than the Tiger Great King, who had rushed over in a fit of rage upon hearing the news!

The Demon King grabbed the Mountain River Suppressing Halberd, swung it fiercely, and leaped forward, slashing down at the intruder with the halberd.

The scorching halberd wind swept in all directions, sending all the little demons within a ten-zhang radius flying!

"Demon, return my divine weapon!" the muscular man roared, his arms bulging violently. His palms spread open like cattail fans, and he took a step forward.

Boom—

He charged forward, actually meeting the great halberd with his bare hands. He grabbed the halberd shaft, receiving the powerful and heavy slash!

"Hah—"

The tower-like Tiger Great King and the muscular man, resembling a Vajra statue, each roared and began to exert force to snatch the halberd. In an instant, the ground shook, and scattered stones began to fall from the entire cave, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

The Demon Kings and some lesser demons who had been attending the banquet felt that something was wrong and fled in a swarm.

When immortals fight, mortals suffer.

With these two giants wrestling, staying nearby would surely bring misfortune.

Chu Liang also had the intention to avoid the conflict and was about to retreat when he saw the muscular man suddenly fall into a disadvantage again.

It turned out that while he and the Tiger Great King were both gripping the great halberd with both hands, using all their strength to snatch it, the Tiger Great King's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and something rose up from below.

That's right, it was his tail.

The tiger tail was like a whip, powerful and heavy, sweeping horizontally across the muscular man's waist.

Bang crack—

This strike directly sent him flying sideways, rolling several times.

He was quite tough, however, and despite the pain, he rolled over and bounced back up from the ground, straightening his body. But the Tiger Great King's pursuit had already arrived, a cold glint descending from the sky as the great halberd slashed down again.

"Hah!" The muscular man suddenly let out a sharp cry, then tucked his right fist at his waist and thrust it upwards fiercely. A giant fist of Sha energy met the great halberd head-on.

Boom—

In an instant, it was as if he had opened the heavens with his right fist! Transforming into a dragon!

His body leaped nimbly, kicking out a leg in mid-air, striking the Tiger Great King's chest.

A visible golden light surged, and demonic energy overflowed.

"Ow—" The Tiger Great King let out a roar of fury, his body twisting, and he actually transformed into a colossal beast in mid-air!

Revealing his true form, the Black Tiger True Form!

In a flash, the black tiger, almost filling half the cave, appeared. Its golden eyes blazed with anger, its fangs like swords. The muscular man facing it suddenly became tiny.

The black tiger lowered its head and unleashed a natural divine ability.

Tiger Roar!

Its sudden transformation clearly caught the muscular man off guard.

"Roar!"

The intense sound waves were fully borne by the muscular man in front. With overwhelming sha energy, he seemed to suffer a mental attack, freezing for a moment.

It was in this instant that the black tiger's massive, gaping maw descended, looking as if it would swallow him whole!

Bang

A muffled thud was heard.

The imagined scene of flesh and blood flying did not occur.

It turned out that the muscular man had recovered in time. With his hands pushing up, he actually propped up the Tiger Great King's two upper teeth, stepping on its lower jaw with one foot, and forcefully... held back the bite!

"Owooo—" The Tiger Great King kept letting out furious whimpers. Despite its biting force, it couldn't swallow this hard bone.

"Ugh ha!" The muscular man also let out a muffled roar. The muscles all over his body bulged to a terrifying degree. Faintly visible bloody tattoos appeared on his back, seemingly blessed by a divine being.

Stuck in this stalemate, he couldn't break free for a while.

After the Tiger Great King revealed its true form, this colossal black tiger possessed the strength to shatter mountains and crack stones. For him to contend with it in a human body was already quite astonishing.

Seeing the situation devolve into a struggle between the two sides, if this continued, the smaller demons who had just fled would return and surround him again, which would be extremely disadvantageous for the muscular man.

Chu Liang, who was watching the battle in secret, finally couldn't stand by and do nothing when he saw this scene.

With a thought, he directly took out the Red Name Slayer Sword from the White Pagoda.

From the moment he first saw the Tiger Great King, the Red Name Slayer Sword had been conveying restless emotions to him, having endured this fellow for a long time.

Chu Liang activated the Red Name Slayer Sword and immediately unleashed his strongest divine ability at the moment.

"Splitting light and fleeting shadows, moving as one pleases..."

After such a fierce and violent one-on-one battle between men just now, the sudden appearance of a divine ability like the Hundred Swords Art seemed a bit anticlimactic.

But Chu Liang's goal wasn't to kill the Tiger Great King; it was enough to just slightly affect it.

As long as it loosened its bite a little, it wouldn't be difficult for the muscular man to pick up the great halberd that had fallen to the ground and escape.

"Hundred Swords Art!"

With Chu Liang's shout, the Red Name Slayer Sword split in mid-air, and the sword light instantly shot out.

As the Tiger Great King was immersed in the struggle with the enemy in front of it, it suddenly heard a clear shout of "Hundred Swords Art" from the side.

Its peripheral vision caught the sword energy sweeping towards it.

Actually, it wanted to laugh.

Having traveled north and south for hundreds of years, it naturally knew about the Hundred Swords Art. Did such a mere minor divine ability think it could harm me, the Tiger Great King?

But in the next instant, a look of fear suddenly appeared in the corner of its eye.

Wait...

Are you bullying me, a little tiger who hasn't been to school?

You call this the Hundred Swords Art?!
