"Okay, I understand!"
Wang Hu lowered his hand from his personal terminal and continued running forward without changing his expression.
" Brother Hu, how are we going to fight later? Should we stall?" Shi Ruiyuan asked from the side.
"Later, you'll be outside. On one hand, you'll prevent other Calamity Beast from coming over. On the other hand, depending on the situation, you'll attack the Weeping Cypress Demon," Wang Hu said in a deep voice.
Shi Ruiyuan paused slightly, then looked at Wang Hu hesitantly and said:
" Brother Hu, are you going to deal with that Weeping Cypress Demon all by yourself?"
"Yes, Fifth Tier is not something you can easily handle. If you're not careful, there could be casualties!" Wang Hu nodded in a deep voice.
"But the Weeping Cypress Demon is also A-Class, and a very difficult one to deal with!" Shi Ruiyuan said, still uneasy.
"Don't worry!" Wang Hu's expression remained unchanged. "I recently reached the Late Fourth Tier, I'm only one minor tier away, nothing will happen!"
"Okay, I understand!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Ruiyuan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded.
At the same time, he reminded himself to pay close attention to Brother Hu's situation.
The group continued forward, but stopped after running for only a short while.
The ground trembled slightly, and loose rocks continued to fall from the mountaintops on both sides.
Soon, a figure appeared in front of the group.
Seemingly noticing them, the figure slowly stopped at a distance from the group.
Its body is thirty or forty meters tall, with a thick bark, and dozens of branches swaying slowly around it...
Their eyes met in mid-air.
" The Weeping Cypress Demon, Early Fifth Tier?"
Wang Hu stared intently at Weeping Cypress Demon, a slight smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips.
"I'd like to see just how much of a difference there is between the Late Fourth Tier and the Fifth Tier..."
Having said that, he took a step forward and stepped out.
During this process, Wang Hu's body began to rapidly expand and grow taller.
Coarse, yellowish-black fur, gleaming claws, and a tiger tail like a steel whip...
In the blink of an eye, a ferocious beast exuding an aura of ruthlessness appeared in the valley.
There was no dialogue, nor was there any need for dialogue.
At that moment, both sides charged at each other simultaneously.
"Rui--"
"Roar--"
Slightly different roars echoed simultaneously within the valley.
A sharp, piercing sound; a muffled, thunderous sound...
Wang Hu suddenly accelerated, leaving afterimages in his wake.
He didn't charge directly at the massive tree trunk, but instead, like a cheetah, rapidly approached it in a zigzag pattern.
During this process, branches lashed out like whips, but he dodged them all.
Soon, the distance closed.
Wang Hu's figure suddenly froze, his muscles bulging, and a tremendous force instantly poured out towards the ground.
"Boom--"
The ground cracked, and Wang Hu's figure rushed straight towards Weeping Cypress Demon's tall figure.
Without a roar or anger, Weeping Cypress Demon coldly stared at Wang Hu in mid-air with indifferent eyes.
Around me, branches twisted and converged, then straightened up in an instant.
With a piercing whistling sound, branches, like steel spears, shot straight at us from all directions!
Suspended in mid-air, with nowhere to grab hold of.
The flight propelled by Origin Power seemed insufficient at this distance and speed to allow it to evade attacks covering a wide area in time.
This attack seemed to leave absolutely no room for dodge...
Wang Hu's beastly eyes calmly watched the thorny branches approaching.
The Origin Power gathered between their claws, but it wasn't...
" Brother Hu, Stone Pillar!"
A sudden shout came from behind.
With a thunderous roar, a stone pillar suddenly pierced through the once flat ground.
Without hesitation, Wang Hu shifted his body to the side and stomped his foot towards the stone pillar.
The hastily formed stone pillar was not solid; it cracked rapidly when Wang Hu stepped on it, but it was enough to give Wang Hu the force to change direction.
Wang Hu suddenly leaped several body lengths to the side.
The next second.
"Boom--"
The branch grazed the stone pillar, and it shattered with a deafening crash.
Without pausing, Wang Hu quickly adjusted his body in mid-air, landing his claws on the branch.
Then, using his feet for leverage, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed straight forward.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Hu had arrived in front of Weeping Cypress Demon's tall figure.
" Fivefold Force - Tiger Claw!"
A muffled shout rang out across the battlefield.
Without holding back or testing the waters, Wang Hu unleashed his strongest attack from the very first move.
The Tiger Claw, imbued with intense Origin Power, struck directly at the wooden body.
However, Weeping Cypress Demon merely watched this scene coldly.
Its skin folded, and the already not-so-loose skin instantly turned into a dense, hard layer.
"Clang, snap--"
Broken wood chips shot out.
This attack broke through his defenses, but Wang Hu's face showed no joy whatsoever; instead, it darkened completely.
"Whoosh--"
The sound of wind whistling through the air came from above.
Wang Hu looked up and glanced at it, then without hesitation, he alternately raised his Beast Transformation hands to cover his head.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two impacts rang out, one after the other.
After being struck from above by a branch, Wang Hu fell to the ground like a meteorite.
Then, the Weeping Cypress Demon continued its work, its branches rising and bending.
In the blink of an eye, a new wave of steel spears began to thrust wildly towards the ground.
Amidst the thunderous roar, dust billowed up.
Dozens of branches, like a swarm of pythons that have caught the scent of blood, shot down wildly, whipping the air into a piercing shriek.
Wang Hu moved quickly, his dark golden beastly eyes scanning the tall body of the Weeping Cypress Demon before swiftly landing on the roots that served as its feet.
A gentle breeze had somehow already enveloped it.
Feeling the speed was even faster than when he was alone, without hesitation or doubt, Wang Hu moved and pounced straight towards the thick roots.
The journey, which was already short, was completed in the blink of an eye.
Wang Hu swung his giant claw, comparable to a Rend the Sky, and slammed it down on the first few branches that attacked!
"Snap!"
"Pfft!"
The sturdy branches snapped and shattered under the immense force, scattering wood chips and dark green sap everywhere.
Without hesitation, the moment he neutralized the Weeping Cypress Demon's attack, Wang Hu swung his claws again, heading towards the root that had already been locked onto.
The human face on the trunk of the Weeping Cypress Demon emitted a sharp wail, and the skin at the locked roots suddenly hardened, turning a rock-like grayish-white color.
At the same time, the root suddenly rose up and pierced the ground.
The moment the roots pierced through, the ground at the edge began to tremble slightly, as if something was about to break through the soil.
Without hesitation or delay, Wang Hu's beastly claws suddenly reached out and grabbed at the thick roots.
"Clang--!"
