The pig chieftain stood ten feet tall. Compared to Human Race warriors who had activated their bloodline power, it was indeed quite small.
Yet no matter how the warriors attacked, they could not injure it.
Jiang Ze transformed into a thirty-foot giant and charged at the Pig Demon.
Thirty feet was not his limit; he was merely concentrating his strength further.
When he was close enough, Jiang Ze threw a full-force straight punch.
The Pig Demon stretched out its left hand, and Jiang Ze's fist abruptly stopped without moving in the slightest.
The Pig Demon stepped forward and punched toward Jiang Ze's abdomen.
Before its fist arrived, the Pig Demon suddenly turned around and used Jiang Ze's arm as a shield.
Feng Sui shifted away from the axe's trajectory, crouched down, twisted his wrist, and redirected his attack at the Pig Demon's lower body.
The Pig Demon flung Jiang Ze away. Feng Sui halted his attack and caught Jiang Ze as he was thrown toward him.
The two retreated twenty or thirty steps before barely managing to stop.
The Pig Demon advanced again when an arrow suddenly shot toward it.
Lin Sen moved swiftly, and his arrows were just as fast. The instant one arrow left his bow, he was already at another position, firing again.
He fired five arrows in succession, attacking from different angles.
The Pig Demon dodged one arrow and blocked two. The remaining two struck its waist and thigh respectively.
The arrows penetrated only half an inch, causing no harm at all.
Feng Xu retrieved the five arrows and tossed them back to Lin Sen.
The Pig Demon raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Feng Xu with curiosity.
A child could actually control a dharma artifact?
Those below the Earth Immortal Realm could barely shake the Pig Demon at all. Moreover, with too many people involved, chaos would easily arise, making coordination difficult.
They had to lure the Pig Demon elsewhere, lest the aftermath of the battle destroy the tribe.
"Those below the Earth Immortal Realm, stay back. We'll fight outside."
Feng Xu shouted.
The others understood and charged at the Pig Demon again.
Feng Sui's body rapidly expanded, transforming him into a giant three or four hundred feet tall. With one kick, he sent the Pig Demon flying.
No matter how strong its defenses were, it could not withstand such an overwhelming disparity in size.
Iron Mountain leaped into the air. His body rapidly enlarged, and his hammer grew with him as he smashed it heavily toward the Pig Demon.
The Pig Demon was blasted onto another mountaintop, and the others quickly followed.
That hammer blow left the Pig Demon slightly disheveled. It shook its numbed arms, spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and its gaze turned vicious.
Its warm-up was over. Now, it was going to get serious.
Lin Sen arrived first, quickly circling the Pig Demon while firing arrows and searching for weaknesses in its defenses.
Though the Pig Demon possessed powerful cultivation, speed was not its strength. Lin Sen spent years moving through the trees, and his movements were agile enough to evade the Pig Demon's attacks every time.
If he had a stronger weapon, he might have been able to take down the Pig Demon.
The Dragon-Snake Bow was already a top-grade Houtian Dharma Artifact, ranked above the Mountain-Cleaving Axe and the Redfire Saber. Yet it could only pierce slightly into the Pig Demon's body and could not penetrate it.
Jiang Ze was the second to arrive.
Judging from their previous battle, close-quarters combat made it difficult to land a hit. Jiang Ze's body continued to grow until he stood a hundred feet tall.
Yet his attacks still could not shake the Pig Demon. In terms of strength alone, he was far inferior.
Feng Sui and Feng Xi followed close behind, while Iron Mountain soon arrived as well. The five of them surrounded the Pig Demon, and their coordination gradually took shape.
Jiang Ze and Feng Xi confronted it head-on. Feng Sui and Iron Mountain searched for chances to land heavy blows, while Lin Sen constantly circled around to interfere, occasionally catching teammates who were sent flying.
The Pig Demon gradually adapted to the five-man assault, making it increasingly difficult for Feng Sui and Iron Mountain to find openings.
Thus, Feng Sui joined the frontal assault as well. With three people attacking head-on, the Pig Demon revealed even more openings.
From then on, three people constantly besieged it, though the three frequently rotated. Sometimes, even Lin Sen engaged the Pig Demon in close combat.
The Human Race's attack rhythm constantly changed, and the rotating assault was also draining the Pig Demon's stamina.
Aside from its powerful fleshly body, the Pig Demon only possessed the special ability Devouring. In such fast-paced combat, it was easily interrupted by the others and could not put that ability to use.
It also realized that it could not continue like this. Otherwise, its stamina would eventually be exhausted.
Roar—
The Pig Demon circulated its dharma power and let out a deafening roar, shaking the earth and sending loose rocks tumbling down.
The surrounding trees were snapped by the shockwave. The others staggered back repeatedly, dizzy and lightheaded, their chests tight.
Before they could recover, the Pig Demon opened its mouth wide and activated Devouring, intending to swallow them all.
Feng Xu could no longer remain an observer. His body rapidly grew taller, and he transformed to nearly the same height as the Pig Demon before flying forward with a kick aimed at the back of its head.
The Pig Demon sensed someone attacking from behind but did not dodge. Instead, it condensed dharma power and blasted Feng Xu away.
Feng Xu got back up and charged at the Pig Demon again.
It was only a child. The Pig Demon did not take him seriously at all. Even ordinary warriors could not shake it, much less a child.
Feng Xu crashed into the Pig Demon but could not move it in the slightest.
As the others were gradually dragged toward the Pig Demon by its dharma power, Feng Xu wrapped his arms around its waist and executed a throw, slamming it to the ground and interrupting its spell.
This demon possessed immense strength, profound dharma power, and nearly invincible defenses.
But its lower body was weak, and its center of gravity was unstable.
Feng Xu understood at once. He sank his qi into his dantian and assumed the Taiji Opening Stance.
The Pig Demon shook its head, not taking him seriously.
It rushed toward Feng Xu, intending to settle this troublesome child in one go.
Feng Xu sidestepped the attack, gripped the Pig Demon's arm with his left hand, braced his right hand against its chest, lifted its body upward, and used its momentum to throw it to the ground.
The Pig Demon quickly got up and engaged Feng Xu in close combat, but every punch and kick it threw was interrupted by Feng Xu.
Its immense brute strength could not be brought to bear.
Having regained their senses, the others watched the child and demon fight, utterly astonished. That child who usually ordered others around had somehow grown this powerful.
Feng Xi's emotions were complicated.
He had once said Feng Xu's punches lacked strength, yet now Feng Xu could battle the Pig Demon alone and repeatedly make it suffer.
The Third Transformation was actually equivalent to the Earth Immortal Realm. However, Feng Xu had not cultivated step by step. Though he had begun cultivating the Third Transformation, his true cultivation was still at the Second Transformation, on par with Kun Tai.
The Pig Demon possessed immense brute strength, but having only recently taken human form, it was not adept at fighting in a humanoid manner. Its intelligence was fully developed, but it was not particularly clever.
Either its attacks were interrupted before they could be unleashed, or the force behind its strikes was redirected.
But the Pig Demon's defenses were too high for Feng Xu to injure it. He could only mix Taiji Fist with some wrestling techniques, repeatedly throwing it to the ground.
"What kind of spell is this?"
The Pig Demon rose to its feet and shook the snowmelt from its body.
"This isn't a spell. It's martial arts."
"What is martial?"
"A pighead like you doesn't need to know."
Feng Xu assumed his stance again, ready to meet the Pig Demon's attack.
"You don't think this is all the strength I have, do you?"
The Pig Demon sensed Feng Xu's contempt and became slightly angered.
It charged at Feng Xu again, its body rapidly growing larger until it transformed into a Pig Demon over two thousand feet long.
Feng Xu and the others reacted quickly and turned to run.
The giant pig opened its enormous bloody maw again and activated Devouring.
The powerful suction made it impossible for the others to move, slowly dragging them toward the Pig Demon.
The Eagle King dove down from the clouds and activated his dharma treasure.
A massive golden net spread out, firmly locking down the Pig Demon.
The Pig Demon's body paused, but it was still unwilling to give up. It suddenly increased its dharma power output, and Feng Xu, who was closest, was sucked into its stomach.
The Eagle King also increased his dharma power output, forcing the Pig Demon to stop Devouring and focus all its strength on resisting the dharma treasure.
"Xu!"
Feng Sui shouted anxiously, grabbed his axe, and leaped onto the Pig Demon's body, hacking wildly.
After returning to its original form, the Pig Demon's defenses seemed to have weakened. Feng Sui's attacks could break through its hide and expose the fat beneath.
But the Pig Demon was simply too massive. Wounds of that depth were like mosquito bites.
Seeing this, the others began attacking all parts of the Pig Demon's body, searching for a weakness.
