What could be more delightful than reuniting with an old friend on the battlefield? Nothing, surely!
Sadly, in Zheng Zetian's current state, he could barely sit up, let alone stand. All he could do was move his lips; he was no threat to anyone.
Chen Jinu, meanwhile, had no time for a friendly chat. This Lion Demon was genuinely hard to beat.
Sure, his swordsmanship was peerless, he'd come prepared, and he knew the creature's weak points.
But so what? It wouldn't die.
And not only that—it was practically being fed moves.
At first, after being hacked down three times, even Nine Bend Demon Ancestor had felt a lingering dread. But as the battle wore on, it began to catch on.
I can resurrect, can't I? And I come back twice as strong! What have I got to worry about?
So, after getting its first taste of the thrill of cheating, the lion immediately started making the most of it.
It might not know many Xuan Sect secret arts, but even with nothing but the power of its Demon Race body, it could turn into a lion or tiger one moment, then a heavenly dragon the next. It unleashed the Taiji Nine Qi, heavenly thunder and earthly fire, and the innate divine abilities of countless races in a dazzling display. Particle effects filled the screen, and the light pollution was off the charts!
Zheng Zetian was forced to hide inside the Black Lotus to avoid being blasted to death by the aftershocks and torn to pieces.
The Lion Demon was using Chen Jinu for training, learning to control its peerless demonic body! The longer it fought, the stronger it became! Its combat power kept rising! Just as it had been designed to do, it evolved in battle, with limitless potential!
