The Inside Man

Zhang Xuezhou felt it was normal for Hongjun to be disliked in the higher-dimensional world.

He merely possessed abilities similar to Hongjun's, yet he had already tormented the Demon Lord to the point of questioning his very existence.

With the ability to fly, withstand blows, and Changkong abilities, Zhang Xuezhou can quickly seize other people's cherished possessions whenever he finds an opportunity.

Hongjun wreaked havoc on the Celestial Craftsmen, who were skilled at making treasures, in the higher-dimensional world. Zhang Xuezhou's initial victory can also be considered as acquiring the ability to cause harm.

As long as they aren't killed in one blow, they can make a quick buck and run away.

The two long cloud wings made flying extremely inconvenient, but no matter how inconvenient it was, Zhang Xuezhou's flying speed was still faster than the Demon Lord's.

The only weakness at present lies with Hu Hao. If the Demon Lord takes the Cloud Wings from Hu Hao and successfully refines them with the help of Lady White Bone, Zhang Xuezhou and the Demon Lord will inevitably enter into a long-term aerial battle.

The Demon Lord's cloud wings were pure white, but they were several times heavier than Tiger's Enchanting Blue Cloud Wings.

Zhang Xuezhou knew without a doubt that the Demon Lord's Cloud Wings, after a long period of refinement, had most likely reached the pinnacle of controlling Law Treasure.

Reforging a new cloud wing presents not only compatibility issues but also challenges related to the reforging process itself. Choosing between using the cloud wing he has been using for a long time and replacing it with a cloud wing that has higher potential but uncertain outcomes is a difficult choice for the Demon Lord as well.

It wasn't until Zhang Xuezhou provoked him again that the Demon Lord finally made up his mind.

However, the Demon Lord probably didn't expect Zhang Xuezhou to return so quickly, and that he would be caught just as Zhang Xuezhou was taking out the Cloud Wings to prepare for transplantation.

By simply comparing it to Yunyi, Zhang Xuezhou could guess the relevant situation.

"Hey, Tiger Hao!"

After several twists and turns, Zhang Xuezhou had already soared high above Huhao.

"Thank you for acting as my inside man; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to successfully ambush the Demon Lord!"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the Demon Lord who had leaped dozens of meters into the air and was relentlessly pursuing him. The sound of his mental fluctuations reverberated everywhere, directly forcing Hu Hao, whose legs were about to give way, into a desperate situation.

"I... I didn't act as an inside agent!"

Hu Hao flapped his cloud wings, then looked at the two cloud wings that Zhang Xuezhou was holding with a look of alarm.

He didn't need to think to know that he had inevitably become the Demon Lord's target, and Zhang Xuezhou's words left him no room for maneuver.

Previously, he could survive by bowing his head when he fell into the hands of the Demon Lord, but now he has no chance of survival.

"If you hadn't acted as my inside informant, how could I have happened to witness the Demon Lord changing his cloud wings?" Zhang Xuezhou said. "You have rendered a great service this time, and I will certainly report your merits to the clan leader!"

"Okay... okay!"

Hu Yu's misjudgment allowed Zhang Xuezhou to fabricate an identity, Zhang Xuezhou used with great ease.

Zhang Xuezhou directly forced Hu Hao into a desperate situation and quickly elevated his own status above Hu Hao's. He also began to instruct Hu Hao to escape from the Spider God Cave.

Traveling about 300 miles eastward will take you to the strait of the Aomeijia Alliance.

This strait is a natural barrier, directly separating those who soar and those who run.

"Hao, you bear the blood mark of this Demon Lord. You cannot escape, not even to the ends of the earth!"

It was only when the Demon Lord roared towards the sky hundreds of meters behind him that Hu Hao felt a chill run down his spine, and his body even began to stiffen with fear.

"His abilities are just so-so. If he couldn't escape, then how did I manage to escape!"

Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly encouraged Hu Hao, fearing that the other party might not be able to bear the fear in his heart.

He wished he had two more hands so he could directly take the Cloud Wings off Hu Hao's back.

Even though his cultivation had not yet reached the True Self Realm, Zhang Xuezhou already saw a glimmer of hope for victory.

Not every world is as diverse in its Technique Method as the Three Realms. Whether it is the world originating from Nagos, the world of Badun, or the Tiger Saint Realm, these worlds place great emphasis on the combination of power and Law Treasure.

Zhang Xuezhou cannot say that this development approach is wrong. The Scarlet Alliance State also went through a similar process, continuously developing firearms similar to Law Treasure weapons, and even using them to eventually achieve national unification.

However, once the Law Treasure is removed, the owner's strength will decrease significantly.

Without the Cloud Wings, the Demon Lord's strength was effectively halved. Even Zhang Xuezhou never expected to encounter such a bizarre situation where he had to remove his Cloud Wings himself.

"Once we get to that country, I'll find you a Law Treasure to fly with you. He'll never catch up to you. And once I get the Wind and Thunder Blade and kill him, that'll be the end of it!"

Zhang Xuezhou used himself as an example, and also cited the Wind and Thunder Blade as evidence.

Zhang Xuezhou was also unclear about the past glory of the Wind and Thunder Blade. Hu Hao calmed down quickly, while the Demon Lord, who was angrily chasing after him, was clearly slowed down.

Although Zhang Xuezhou couldn't use the Wind and Thunder Blade, its intimidating power was undeniable, even causing the Demon Lord to retreat.

"Old man, you chased me for 80,000 miles! Once I've patted your head a few more times and gotten used to your speed, I'll use my Wind and Thunder Blade to chop you down!"

Zhang Xuezhou made a threatening statement, and the Demon Lord's shouts, which had been relentlessly pursuing him, quickly subsided, though he continued his pursuit with a grim face.

Everyone knows that the dividing line in their competition lies on the Cloud Wings. The Demon Lord who reclaims Hu Hao will inevitably gain the upper hand, while the Demon Lord who loses the Cloud Wings will inevitably be put on the defensive in the confrontation.

"Roar~"

Zhang Xuezhou has made numerous pronouncements in his relentless pursuit of the top spot.

Only when they reached the strait's border and watched Hu Hao cross the strait directly did the Demon Lord let out a roar of resentment.

See you next time!

Looking at the Demon Lord jumping up and down on the cliff, Zhang Xuezhou felt that things were much easier in the real world than in the Three Realms.

Once the initiative is seized, and with the help of Fire Meteor cultivators like Xixuanmi and Diting, eliminating the world's origin from the Demon Lord will only be a matter of time.

"I will definitely capture you and kill you completely, even if it costs me!"

The Demon Lord raised his head and roared deeply towards the sea. An ice storm swirled around his body, and the seawater below the cliff began to condense and freeze.

His body swayed, and the massive white tiger's form began to transform into human form amidst a rapidly compressing sound. As he leaped off the cliff, the Demon Lord swayed before landing firmly on the solidified ice of the seawater.

Following the direction he pointed, patches of pure white ice rapidly spread forward.

He was already unable to catch up with Zhang Xuezhou and the others, and now he had to create ice to pass through, so his speed was destined to be very slow.

But his physical strength was inexhaustible, and he was not afraid of day or night, so he could keep chasing. The Demon Lord could not catch up with Zhang Xuezhou, but he did not believe that he could not catch up with Hu Hao.

Moreover, he possesses the ability to transform this world on a large scale, creating the best environment for himself as well as the worst environment for his opponents.

"This world needs to be filled with fierce winds, so that all those who dare to fly will fall into them and their flesh will disintegrate!"

He stood on the ice, chanting softly, and colorful mist rose from his body, which then continuously gave rise to black whirlwinds.

A scream came from the sky. The Demon Lord saw a flat, white corpse appear in the air, then be cut into several pieces and fall from the sky.
