Chapter 252: Invincible
Chapter 252: Invincible
The twin horns had transformed into a single horn. This was the true ultimate form of the Purple Thunder Sky-Crashing Unihorn Bull Demon. The lightning swirling around its body resonated with the purple clouds in the sky.
It... no, now it should be referred to as “he”. He unleashed a punch. In the sky, a massive fist made of purple lightning instantly coalesced and hurtled toward Li Xiaofei. Li Xiaofei swung his fist to meet it.
Boom!
He was sent flying. The purple lightning carried an astonishing destructive force and a paralyzing effect. It left scorched earth for a hundred meters.
"Now, this weak state... this is your true self," said the Bull Demon, hovering in mid-air, as he lifted his foot and stomped downward.
Endless streams of purple lightning and energy coalesced into a giant foot that descended on Li Xiaofei.
Boom!
The earth shook. Li Xiaofei met the descending foot with his fist once again, but the terrifying giant foot of lightning stomped him into the ground. It was just like the time he had hammered the Bull Demon into the earth, but now the roles were reversed. The tide of battle had shifted.
On the distant city walls, the warriors who had been cheering with excitement just moments ago fell silent. Worry and concern filled their eyes, and their hearts leapt into their throats.
How could this happen? We had just been on the brink of victory.
Meanwhile, the surrounding star beasts erupted in a thunderous roar of celebration.
Boom!
Li Xiaofei burst out of the ground. He shot into the sky like a cannonball, and he threw another punch at the Unihorn Bull Demon. The Bull Demon’s face twisted into a sneer of contempt as he swung his own fist downward. The lightning in the sky condensed into a massive fist that struck as swift as a bolt of lightning.
Boom!
Li Xiaofei was sent flying once again. His body crashed heavily into the ground, rolling and smashing through dozens of massive rocks. He slowly got to his feet, his entire body emitting purple smoke. His hair was standing on end, with faint arcs of lightning flickering across his skin. He looked utterly battered.
Boom, boom, boom.
Before Li Xiaofei could catch his breath, a barrage of massive lightning fists rained down from the sky as the Unihorn Bull Demon unleashed a relentless assault.
Li Xiaofei moved swiftly, dodging the lightning fists as best he could. He was like a nimble mole, narrowly avoiding the descending hammers from the sky. But eventually, he couldn't dodge them all.
Boom!
Li Xiaofei was struck by a massive lightning fist descending from the sky. His body was slammed directly into a deep crater. Countless lightning fists converged on the crater, relentlessly pounding Li Xiaofei's body. The terrifying power was so immense that it vaporized god-iron alloy in an instant.
"This is bad."
In the distance, Ding Longao could no longer hold back. He couldn’t just stand by and watch Li Xiaofei be beaten to death. He moved forward to attempt a rescue.
But just at that moment...
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar rang out as a golden dragon claw imprint ripped out of the ground and soared into the sky. The ferocious golden dragon tore through the countless purple lightning fists, shredding them to pieces, and continued toward the Unihorn Bull Demon.
"Moo?" The Bull Demon's pupils contracted in shock.
Boom!
The Unihorn Bull Demon was blasted backward in mid-air, astonished by the overwhelming and radiant force of the strike.
Li Xiaofei emerged from the ground once again. His combat suit was now hanging off him in shreds. An ocean of vibrant life force surged around him, radiating a powerful crimson glow that enveloped his entire body.
Faint golden patterns shimmered beneath the skin of his now eight-meter-tall frame. These intricate markings, imbued with mysterious Dao rhythms, seemed like a divine armor, radiating a strength several times more formidable than before.
This was his Ultimate Demon King Form! Li Xiaofei had unleashed the starforce qi within his body. The energy that had been concentrated to an unprecedented level, was like nothing the world had ever seen. At that moment, he fully revealed his peak strength.
"Didn't expect this, did you? I can transform twice," grinned Li Xiaofei.
Although he hadn't reached the Five Spirits Realm, which would allow him to fly, his immensely powerful body could still propel him hundreds of meters into the air with a single leap.
Roar!
The dragon's cry echoed across the sky as Li Xiaofei soared into the air with a single leap, reaching the same height as the Bull Demon in the void.
He unleashed the Flying Dragon in the Sky technique of the Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms. His palm strike transformed into two fierce golden dragons that had outstretched claws and bared teeth. The alarmed Bull Demon summoned all of his lightning to defend and counterattack.
His primal force was lightning. The innate strength of the star beasts, combined with his primal lightning force, had made the Purple Thunder Sky-Crashing Unihorn Bull Demon an unstoppable force, securing his status as a fifth grade star beast.
But now, this human youth before him possessed a physical strength even greater than his own. The golden patterns flickering beneath Li Xiaofei's skin rendered him nearly immune to the paralysis and burning effects of the lightning. The precision of the Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms also amplified Li Xiaofei's immense strength several times over.
Regretful Dragon. Dragon in the Field. Six Dragons in Flight. Dragon Battle in the Wilderness. Azure Dragon Draws Water.
Each move, each palm strike, was executed with flawless technique, driving the Bull Demon further back. The overwhelming strength of the dragon-themed attacks left the Bull Demon with little time to react as the golden dragons bore down on him with unstoppable force.
Each strike was unleashed at maximum speed and force. The dragon roars shook the heavens and the earth. The Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms, hailed as the foremost external martial art in the Jin Yong martial arts world, was perfectly suited to Li Xiaofei's current state of unified power.
The mighty palm strikes transformed into countless golden dragons that tore apart the purple lightning clouds in the sky. The Purple Thunder Sky-Crashing Unihorn Bull Demon was completely overpowered as each palm strike landed on his body and forced him downward.
"Your horn... is mine!" Li Xiaofei roared, seizing the purple unihorn with both hands.
A burst of raw, savage strength erupted from him as he twisted.
Crack.
The unihorn broke clean at the base.
"Mooooo..." A piercing wail echoed through the air.
The Bull Demon could no longer maintain its transformed state and reverted back to its original towering, hundred-meter-tall form. Blood gushed from the top of its head like a fountain, spilling onto the ground below. It had been severely wounded.
"Hmm... hee hee hee..." A sweet, melodic laugh suddenly rang in Li Xiaofei's ear.
The murderous intent that had filled Li Xiaofei instantly dissipated, replaced by an overwhelming sense of tenderness and affection. He subconsciously let his guard down.
A faint fox-like shadow flickered out of the void, darting toward Li Xiaofei in an instant. It was the Yinji Moon Fox!
When she saw her companion in danger, the fox, who had been lurking in the shadows, could no longer hold back and finally made her move. But just as she was about to strike...
Whoosh!
The sound of a sword going supersonic rang out as a dazzling silver sword light suddenly slashed down from the heavens.
"Ye Liuying!!!" The shadow of the Yinji Moon Fox let out a scream of fury and despair.
The fox's shadow was struck by the sword light, disintegrating into a few strands of fox fur before vanishing entirely. In that instant, Li Xiaofei snapped back to reality. The fox demon's charm had almost ensnared him.
The Bull Demon was still struggling desperately as its strength waned. When it realized death was imminent, it was gripped by fear. But Li Xiaofei wasn't about to give it a chance. He moved to decisively finish the job.
Squelch.
The sharp unihorn pierced straight into the Bull Demon's heart. The fifth grade star beast let out one final, anguished wail, its limbs twitching a few times before it finally succumbed to death. It died beneath its own horn.
Li Xiaofei pulled the unihorn out. Blood gushed forth. The essence-rich blood from the Bull Demon's heart sprayed all over Li Xiaofei, drenching him from head to toe.
The blood sizzled on the surface of Li Xiaofei's skin, making a strange crackling sound. Then, with a flash of golden light, the mysterious golden patterns on Li Xiaofei's body absorbed the Bull Demon's blood in its entirety.
