As he spoke, before Xu Taiping could respond, a boom rang out, and the Heaven-Hunting Great Sage's burly figure vanished from the spot, borne by a surge of raging qi and blood power.
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, the Heaven-Hunting Great Sage, wrapped in scorching qi and blood power like blazing flames, hurtled straight toward Blightbone like a falling star.
"Bang!..."
Amid the tremendous crash, Blightbone was sent flying backward by the Heaven-Hunting Great Sage's direct collision.
So fast was it sent flying that its trajectory looked like a straight line.
"Rumble!..."
The terrifying force of that collision even caused the surrounding void to erupt with waves of ear-splitting sonic booms.
Xu Taiping swallowed, then murmured:

Immediately afterward, its grotesque, hideous body abruptly grew dozens of times larger.

The fleshy growths that had been writhing on its head turned into flesh and blood that covered the right half of its body.
"Rumble!..."
Amid a series of ear-splitting qi explosions, Xu Taiping could clearly sense that the skeletal Blightbone demonic beast was emitting aura fluctuations every bit as strong as the Heaven-Hunting Great Sage's.
Then Blightbone suddenly assumed a punching stance.
At the sight, Xu Taiping's heart jolted, and he murmured:
"Could the immortal remains this Blightbone fused with have belonged to a martial general
