Chapter 198: Shadow Demon Battles Tian Zhen
"Lin Langtian actually withstood Tian Zhen's attack!"
The spectators around the square exchanged astonished glances, their faces reflecting utter shock at the result. Violent Wolf Tian Zhen was one of the Four Great Rulers of the Northwestern Region, widely feared for his tremendous strength and notorious reputation. His previous single strike alone was enough to severely wound any Two-Refinement Nirvana expert. Yet, Lin Langtian had managed to withstand it.
This impressive strength left everyone in awe. It became clear that the leader of the Flame Alliance was no ordinary person—his power was now comparable to Tian Zhen himself.
The Shi Kun brothers, too, looked taken aback, their eyes narrowing as they observed Lin Langtian's calm expression. They finally understood why he had dismissed the Magma Rock Dynasty so easily—Lin Langtian's true combat ability far surpassed theirs.
"You wanted something from me, but it seems your bite isn't as strong as you thought," Lin Langtian sneered, his voice mocking.
Tian Zhen's smile faded, and a crimson fury seemed to flicker behind his eyes, twisting his face with a terrifying ferocity.
"A spiritual technique? Impressive. But to think that blocking one of my strikes makes you something special—you're overestimating yourself, boy!" His voice was low, cold, and menacing, carrying an unmistakable killing intent. Those watching felt their hearts skip a beat; Tian Zhen was clearly on the verge of losing his temper.
"Now, let's see how many more strikes you can handle!"
With a sudden surge of energy, Tian Zhen sprang forward, his powerful aura radiating through the air. The oppressive force was so intense that it made everyone's breathing grow shallow.
From the sky, Tian Zhen's fist lashed out, a wave of fierce energy laced with a chilling murderous intent blasting straight towards Lin Langtian.
But just as the crowd feared Lin Langtian would be overpowered, a menacing figure abruptly appeared in front of him. It was none other than Shadow Demon!
"Stay away from my Senior Brother!" With an icy snarl, Shadow Demon lunged forward, his right fist clenched tightly and emitting an intense, dark energy. He thrust it forward, meeting Tian Zhen's powerful strike head-on.
Boom!
A deep, resonant impact rang out as their blows clashed, sending shockwaves rippling outward. When the force reached Shadow Demon, a surge of dark light erupted from his body, neutralizing the impact.
Seeing Shadow Demon intervene, the Flame Alliance members, including Mo Ling, were stunned, and then their expressions shifted to one of astonished admiration. None of them had expected Lin Langtian's companion to wield such overwhelming power!
The other onlookers were equally taken aback. They knew of Lin Langtian, but this fierce figure standing by his side was unfamiliar. Judging by his strength, it was clear he was also a Two-Refinement Nirvana practitioner—and, based on his loyalty to Lin Langtian, likely a member of the Flame Alliance.
This realization left many spectators agape. The Flame Alliance was no longer a one-man operation centered around Lin Langtian, as they had assumed. The Alliance's true strength was much deeper than anyone had imagined.
"Get out of my way!" Tian Zhen shouted, momentarily startled by Shadow Demon's presence. The ruthlessness on his face was enough to make anyone feel a chill down their spine.
But the brutal intimidation was wasted on Shadow Demon, a being whose cold, calculated nature surpassed even Tian Zhen's own viciousness. As a human-controlled puppet, Shadow Demon's resolve was unwavering, unclouded by emotion.
Boom!
As Tian Zhen charged forward, Shadow Demon's expression grew even colder. His powerful dark energy surged around him, enveloping his fists. Then, harnessing his full strength, he aimed a devastating punch directly at Tian Zhen.
As a puppet, Shadow Demon possessed a distinct physical advantage. With his newfound sentience, he could now channel dark energy to reinforce his body. The slicing sound of his fist cutting through the air even made Tian Zhen's eyes narrow slightly.
Recognizing the power behind the blow, Tian Zhen quickly gathered his energy, his body radiating a dazzling golden light that formed into a protective barrier around him.
Clang!
Shadow Demon's punch landed on the golden shield, sending out a metallic ring as ripples spread across its surface. But the barrier held strong.
"Your strength isn't bad, but it won't break my Golden Shield!" Tian Zhen sneered as he punched through the shield, a wave of energy in the shape of a wolf's head forming around his fist as it shot toward Shadow Demon's chest.
"Black Demon Armor!"
Dark energy surged over Shadow Demon's body, condensing into a solid black armor covered in mysterious patterns of dark energy.
Bang!
Tian Zhen's punch struck the armor, but the dark energy absorbed most of the force, preventing any real damage.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After taking the punch, Shadow Demon's eyes grew colder. He released a torrent of dark energy from his body, concentrating it in his right hand.
As the energy intensified, he delivered another punch straight at Tian Zhen.
Screech!
The air around Shadow Demon's fist twisted, forming a concave arc as his energy condensed into a massive, ten-foot-wide blast of dark energy. With a deafening boom, the blast shot toward Tian Zhen.
Boom!
The attack collided with Tian Zhen's golden shield, unleashing a wave of destructive force across the area. A faint cracking sound echoed, making Tian Zhen's eyes widen in shock.
Crack! Crack!
Cracks spread across the golden shield until, with a shattering noise, it burst apart, leaving Tian Zhen defenseless against the relentless attack.
