Pretending To Be A Boss

The battle wasn't as easy as Tang Xian had thought. This mysterious creature indeed did not possess the ability to kill him instantly like a disaster-level calamity creature, but it was still much stronger and faster than Tang Xian.

Tang Xian's fists only hit the target once before he was continuously counterattacked.

The creature's reflexes were on par with Lei Xiao's, and although it was no longer as swift as the other Lei Xiaos, it still had a sharp response to all kinds of fast attacks in its field of vision.

To the creature, all of Tang Xian's attacks were slow motion.

After uttering that slightly showy remark, the situation turned into a one-sided beating with Tang Xian on the receiving end.

A pitch-black fiend roared ferociously, seemingly intent on tearing Tang Xian into pieces. There were a few times when Tang Xian felt his bones were broken by the creature's heavy kicks.

But the next second, he was healed. This process appeared as though he wasn't injured, but the pain tugged at Tang Xian's nerves, causing him to show an expression of immense pain.

The frost in the hall hadn't melted, and the debris was still as sharp and bone-piercing as ever.

Bai Mansheng really wanted to help, especially when she saw Tang Xian's leg caught by the monster and madly "Hulk smashed."

But Tang Xian stubbornly stopped her.

"Don't... interfere... This is normal... It's not a big problem, don't panic,"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mansheng felt it was quite strange. It obviously looked like two people fighting desperately, or rather one person getting beaten brutally by another, but the one being beaten seemed quite composed.

Naturally, Tang Xian didn't care too much about keeping up appearances, but he had to admit that every time he battled a new creature, the process of accumulating resistance was indeed not very dignified.

Thankfully, during his confrontation with Tang Feiji, no one witnessed the scene of him being covered in gold solution and the Extreme Ice Sealed City Statue.

The creature's attack had no technique to speak of, just a raw berserk beast furiously smashing Tang Xian.

Tang Xian coughed out blood, feeling as if his internal organs were ruptured and his brain sent into shock, but soon everything restored itself.

Despite his pained expression, Bai Mansheng could sense that Tang Xian's vitality never diminished.

It always recovered quickly.

She herself possessed an almost miraculous talent for reviving the dead, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Tang Xian's body crashed through another ice wall, and the next second, the creature squatted and leapt towards him, pinning him to the ground and assaulting him madly.

"Haven't eaten?" Tang Xian taunted.

This position was humiliating, as the creature straddled Tang Xian's waist and frantically swung its "Facial Correction Fist," breaking his nasal bone before long.

Bai Mansheng really wanted to step in, thinking that she certainly couldn't handle the monster momentarily, but after all, it was inferior to her by one tier, so why should Tang Xian suffer like this?

Yet, bizarrely, Tang Xian became increasingly excited.

Because the creature's attack range was diminishing, indicating that the furious offensive earlier had taken a toll on its stamina.

He had already felt that the creature was inherently weak, sustained only by the rush of adrenaline fueled by anger.

Following a Hulk-like barrage of wild hammering and beating, that anger finally dissipated somewhat. Tang Xian even saw a hint of confusion and astonishment in the creature's eyes.

Starvation and the long-term assault of various toxins had weakened its body.

In contrast, Tang Xian's resistance kept accumulating. As this wore on, the tide of battle quickly shifted.

Tang Xian began to attempt counterattacks, and although nine out of ten punches missed, he tirelessly kept trying.

The creature had become numbed to pain, its remarkable healing abilities had made it endure unimaginable tortures during its imprisonment.

These torments couldn't kill it, only made it extraordinarily insensitive to pain.

Yet even so, it started to feel it—Tang Xian's fists were growing increasingly powerful.

The creature's astonishment stemmed from this. This human-like creature was clearly weak, his punches initially harmless to it, but gradually, it discovered the human's punches became more painful.

Finally overcome by pain, the creature had no choice but to pick Tang Xian up and throw him to the other side of the battlefield.

The pain was brief, and the creature's breathing grew rapid as it looked at Tang Xian with confusion.

Because it had always been the one others couldn't hurt, yet today it encountered an existence much like itself.

Tang Xian pinched his nose, as if trying to straighten a misaligned nasal bone, the process causing him to inhale sharply from the pain.

"What a hassle, but now's the time to test your constitution."

With Snake Form activated, Tang Xian's speed erupted at that moment.

As a summit practitioner of this combat skill, Bai Mansheng found it odd seeing a human utilize Snake Form, but Tang Xian indeed learned it quite authentically.

When did he learn it, she wondered?

Bai Mansheng didn't ponder for long, because the battle indeed took a dramatic turn shortly after.

Tang Xian, who initially only took hits, was now trading blows with the creature.

The creature's attacks were causing less and less damage to Tang Xian.

Bai Mansheng watched in shock as Tang Xian became reckless, blatantly not dodging the creature's assaults.

And Tang Xian's attacks became increasingly terrifying, with the horrific sounds of bones breaking finally not coming from Tang Xian's end.
