The Second Layer of the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique (Part Two)

The fierce attack came from the Demon Monster. Every strike had the power to shatter mountains. It all hit Zhuge Xiang, making his face as pale as paper, and even the corners of his lips could be seen dripping blood.

However, under this powerful attack, Zhuge Xiang neither dodged nor evaded, but silently endured, constantly using the powerful force of the blows to propel his Great Strength Bull Demon Technique.

Just as a sword's edge is honed through tempering, Zhuge Xiang's physical body, if it were a peerless sword, would be sharpened by these powerful blows. Under this tempering, Zhuge Xiang's body was constantly strengthening, advancing towards the Second Layer of the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique.

15%...25%...40%...

In his mind, the mechanical system prompts kept ringing. It was these system prompts that kept Zhuge Xiang gritting his teeth and persevering. As he got closer and closer to the Second Layer the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique, Zhuge Xiang's perseverance became stronger and stronger.

"Impossible! Even Demon Monster who has Body Refinement couldn't withstand so many of my attacks. How could a human who hasn't even reached the Void Returning Stage do that?"

The Scorpion Demon was increasingly shocked by the relentless attacks, her fists raining down on Zhuge Xiang. Despite his severe injuries, Zhuge Xiang remained resilient.

"Not only is he incredibly strong, but his physical defense is also so formidable?" Zhu Wan'er stared at Zhuge Xiang in astonishment, finding it hard to believe.

She had initially been expecting to see Zhuge Xiang embarrass himself after he started fighting the Scorpion Demon, but to her surprise, Zhuge Xiang didn't dodge or evade the Scorpion Demon's attacks at all.

That's not all. What's worse, after attacking for so long, all the Scorpion Demon's attacks had landed on him, yet he still hadn't been hit? Keep in mind, even a Lingbao- grade shield would probably have shattered by now.

"A weak attack? Are you kidding me? Show me your true skills..." The Thorn Armor was already covered in cracks. Zhuge Xiang wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. Although his expression was pale, his eyes showed the utmost contempt.

"You bastard, let's see how long you can hold out..." Zhuge Xiang's words were like adding fuel to the fire, making Scorpion Demon burn even brighter, and the force of his attack became three times more ruthless.

Bang...

The Thorn Armor is shattered; the Second Layer the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique is 52% complete.

The wrist guards on both hands have crumbled; progress is 65%.

The Phantom Cloak has also completely collapsed; progress is 80%.

As Zhuge Xiang's defensive equipment crumbled one by one, the Scorpion Demon's attacks became even stronger. Zhuge Xiang, who was already at his limit, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His HP dropped even faster on his Character Interface. Even when he used the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique, it was far from enough to absorb this powerful attack.

"Stop..." Seeing that Zhuge Xiang was on the verge of collapse, Zhu Wan'er couldn't help but jump out and block Zhuge Xiang.

Zhu Wan'er unleashed an aura of the same Demon Monster level, confronting the Scorpion Demon head-on. Although Zhu Wan'er was slightly inferior to the Scorpion Demon in terms of aura, with her strength, she believed that she could still hold the Scorpion Demon back without any problem. She had the ability to save Zhuge Xiang.

"Wan'er, he really is your Daoist partner? You, you're actually willing to attack me for him?" Zhu Wan'er jumped out. Not only did Zhuge Xiang not expect this, but even the Scorpion Demon found it hard to accept.

In the world of Demon Cultivator, the strong are respected, and fighting among them is commonplace. Generally, no one would interfere unless the two people have a very deep relationship. However, now that Zhuge Xiang is about to be killed, she actually stood up to protect him, which shows that the relationship between the two is definitely not simple.

"Why are you doing this?" Zhuge Xiang, his face ashen, stared at Zhu Wan'er in astonishment. Didn't she wish he were dead? Why was she saving him?

"Didn't you say that even a night of marriage brings a hundred nights of affection...?" Zhu Wan'er turned her head and said to Zhuge Xiang with deep affection.

"Do you think I would believe that?" Zhuge Xiang showed no reaction to Zhu Wan'er's deep affection, clearly indicating that he did not believe her.

"Fine, then I'll tell you the truth," Zhu Wan'er's expression suddenly changed. Her affectionate demeanor vanished in an instant, replaced by frost, murderous intent, and a fierce look. "Your life is mine. I will kill you with my own hands. No one else can kill you!"

"Wan'er, you..." Originally, the scorpion demon thought that Zhuge Xiang and Zhu Wan'er were Daoist partners, but now, seeing Zhu Wan'er's appearance, Scorpion Demon was confused again.

Despite his Demon Monster cultivation level, which had already given him full intelligence and made him no different from an ordinary person, he couldn't figure out the relationship between Zhuge Xiang and Zhu Wan'er for a moment.

"Hehe, I knew it..." Seeing Zhu Wan'er's fierce appearance, Zhuge Xiang's pale and bloodless face actually showed a smile. Relatively speaking, only this explanation made Zhuge Xiang believe it.

"However, get out of my way. Perhaps I, Zhuge Xiang, will die, but not today, and certainly not at the hands of this guy. I just wanted to test how much attack power this Demon Monster- level guy really has, but I didn't expect to be so disappointed..." Zhuge Xiang then shook his head, telling Zhu Wan'er to step back, while not forgetting to provoke the Scorpion Demon in his words.

"You bastard, tell me honestly, what exactly is your relationship with Wan'er?" However, at this moment, the Scorpion Demon seemed to have given up on attacking, and instead stared fiercely at Zhuge Xiang, asking threateningly.

"Haha, I, Zhuge Xiang, have never had the habit of explaining myself to the weak. You, standing here letting me hit you, haven't even managed to hit me in all this time. What right do you have to ask me? If you can defeat me, perhaps I'll be in the mood to tell you..." Zhuge Xiang was not intimidated by the Scorpion Demon's threatening question and answered aggressively, even though he still looked very miserable.

"You bastard, you won't give up until you're faced with death, you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!" Hearing that Zhuge Xiang still dared to provoke her, the Scorpion Demon's face turned red with anger, and she attacked again fiercely.

This guy is already in such a miserable state, yet he still dares to be arrogant? Fine, today I'll make you wish you were dead. I don't believe that even if your body is a Lingbao, I can still shatter and smash it to pieces.

Although Zhuge Xiang's words only made Zhu Wan'er half-convinced, she figured that Zhuge Xiang wouldn't risk his life for no reason. Therefore, Zhu Wan'er didn't intend to make any more moves. She just kept a close eye on him and would intervene if Zhuge Xiang really broke down and couldn't hold on any longer. However, she didn't understand why Zhuge Xiang was being tortured for no reason.

Bang bang bang...

A barrage of fists rained down on Zhuge Xiang's body, each one possessing the power to shatter mountains. Zhuge Xiang endured these terrifying attacks, unleashing his Great Strength Bull Demon Technique at full power, using the force of the blows to continuously enhance the strength of his physical body, displaying an air of "let him be strong, I'll just let the Qing Feng caress the mountain."

One by one, the defensive equipment on Zhuge Xiang's body, such as the Thorn Armor, shattered. Logically, as Zhuge Xiang's defenses continued to decline, his injuries should have worsened. However, the situation was quite the opposite. Soon, Zhuge Xiang felt that the damage inflicted on him by the Scorpion Demon was diminishing. This was because Zhuge Xiang's physical body was becoming stronger and stronger, almost completely compensating for the lack of defense caused by the loss of his defensive equipment.

78%...90%...97%...

"What's going on? This guy's physical body feels stronger and stronger. The counterforce is getting more and more powerful..."

Despite their efforts, they still couldn't defeat Zhuge Xiang. Yet, the recoil force on Zhuge Xiang's body was getting stronger and stronger, which surprised the Scorpion Demon and made her feel somewhat incredulous.

Could it be that after attacking for so long, my strength is getting weaker and weaker? In the previous attacks, although I could feel the recoil from this guy's body, it was negligible. But now, this recoil is even making my fist unable to withstand it, and it hurts faintly, as if an ordinary fist is hitting pig iron.

No, it's not that my strength has decreased, but rather that this guy's physical recoil is getting stronger!

The Scorpion Demon quickly realized that although Zhuge Xiang's injuries were still very serious, they hadn't worsened despite the prolonged attacks. Clearly, his physical body remained incredibly strong, even capable of withstanding her punches...

How could someone who hadn't even reached the Void Returning Stage possibly block her fist with his bare body? Such an absurd and Scorpion Demon thing was unbelievable even now, having witnessed it firsthand, let alone before.

But facts are facts, and no matter how much one may disbelieve them, these facts remain unchanged.

100%...

No matter how intense the shock in the Scorpion Demon's heart was, Zhuge Xiang, who had endured his attacks for so long and whose physical body was almost completely broken, had finally succeeded. He had successfully pushed the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique to the Second Layer...

The feeling of Rebirth. At this moment, Zhuge Xiang felt that his physical body had undergone tremendous changes, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what those changes were. It was as if he had transformed from a pupa that had been hibernating for a long time into a butterfly. The power flowing within him made him feel that he could shatter mountains and rivers with a single punch using only his physical body.

"Ding! Successfully cultivated the Second Layer of the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique. Attack +15000, HP +30000, Defense +15000." (To be continued...)
