The Cat Demon Beast's face beca increasingly grim, and the claws in his hands grew sharper.
Standing beside him, Wang Zhan clenched his fist, glanced at the Deep Fire Blade on the ground, then promptly raised his hand and shouted, "Attack!"
The next second, the Deep Fire Blade shot skyward, charging rapidly towards the Cat Demon Beast.
The Cat Demon Beast seed prepared, raising his clawed hands, the claws on his fingertips as sharp as blades, to shield his face.
As the Deep Fire Blade descended abruptly, the Cat Demon Beast directly blocked the blade with his claws.
A burst of Fire Light rippled out, but neither retreated a single step.
"I must admit, you're considerably stronger than those losers. But with your ans alone, defeating
won't be easy."
"If you surrender now, it will be much better for you. Later, when I truly decide to kill you, it will be far more brutal than this."
The Cat Demon Beast looked at Wang Zhan coldly before offering this "kind" advice.
However, his kindness held no goodwill for Wang Zhan.
Wang Zhan leaped skyward, swinging his arms again. Fire Dragons materialized in the sky, charging at the Cat Demon Beast once more.
The Deep Fire Blade also began to tremble continuously.
"Looks like you can't hold on much longer?"
After the Cat Demon Beast's cold comnt, he put more force into the sharp weapon in his hand. A beam of Golden Light fell, and the Deep Fire Blade was suddenly knocked away.
Wang Zhan quickly reached out to catch the Deep Fire Blade, but the massive blade's impact pushed him back several steps.
After retreating a few steps, Wang Zhan's face grew grim. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and imdiately knelt on the ground.
Damn, it seems I've t another tough opponent.
Wang Zhan squinted at the Cat Demon Beast before him.
Undeniably, the Cat Demon Beast was formidable. If Wang Zhan could defeat him, his own strength would surely skyrocket. However, defeating such a powerful demonic beast was no easy task. The Cat Demon Beast had reached the level of a level 9 demonic beast. His strength was imnse, and he possessed his own spiritual wisdom and unique techniques. If they clashed, Wang Zhan would be at a disadvantage, making escape difficult. Even fighting desperately to defeat the Cat Demon Beast would be extrely hard.
"Kid, you're not actually thinking of running away, are you?"
"You humans are a bunch of useless trash. Whenever you can't win, you try to flee like frightened dogs."
"I advise you to give up that notion. My speed is imnse. Even if you try to escape, you'll hardly leave my grasp."
The Cat Demon Beast stared at Wang Zhan, a playful smirk on his face.
Wang Zhan ignored his words, his mind already racing, figuring out how to retreat.
Continuing to tangle with the Cat Demon Beast offered him no benefits. Naturally, he wanted to withdraw temporarily and deal with him after his cultivation improved. However, the Cat Demon Beast's speed was indeed very fast, making it extrely difficult to evade his attacks. A foolproof plan was essential.
Wang Zhan had already considered the worst-case scenario: abandoning the Deep Fire Blade and using the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation it could create to suppress the Cat Demon Beast to so extent. This would buy him ti to swiftly retreat from the battlefield.
However, if he did that, he would lose the Deep Fire Blade permanently. The Cat Demon Beast could clearly see it was a divine weapon and would neither return it nor leave it for Wang Zhan to retrieve.
Therefore, Wang Zhan didn't want to take such a risk unless absolutely necessary; only as a last resort would he be prepared to abandon the Deep Fire Blade.
"Don't be so confident. I still have the Fire Deity Armor. Breaking through my defenses won't be an easy task for you. At worst, we can just wear each other down here and see who lasts longer."
Wang Zhan looked at the distant city, then slowly said, "You must be well aware that the city is right ahead. It won't be long before the people there learn of your presence and co here. When we join forces against you, dealing with you won't be difficult at all."
"Utterly ridiculous."
The Cat Demon Beast scratched his head and said with a laugh, "Don't you know what kind of place this city is?"
Wang Zhan was stunned and quickly asked, "You know?"
How could a re demonic beast know about human cities? Could it be that demonic beasts had infiltrated the city? Or had this city always been demonic beast territory?
Such situations weren't uncommon. If he hadn't stayed in Tianxiong City back then, it too might have beco a haven for demonic beasts by now.
"It seems you're new here."
"In that case, let
tell you about this city. It should dispel all your foolish hopes and let you experience true, crushing despair."
Glancing back at the city behind him, the Cat Demon Beast continued, "This city is called Kui City. Although it has many people, city guards, and a City Lord, they don't concern themselves with matters outside Kui City's walls."
"Besides, even if they wanted to deal with powerful demonic beasts like , they'd need Bounty Hunters to take action."
"But since I haven't threatened their lives, who would waste money hiring Bounty Hunters to trouble us?"
"You're not actually expecting those people to co and save you, are you?"
A contemptuous sneer touched the corners of the Cat Demon Beast's mouth.
He had lingered near Kui City for decades, so he understood its inhabitants very well. He knew the true face of humans: when trouble arose, they would prioritize their own safety. Why would they care about others?
This was especially true for the powerful Bounty Hunters. They only cared about money or valuable items, ignoring everything else. Even if a demonic beast entered Kui City, they would ignore it, provided, of course, that it didn't provoke them. After all, these Bounty Hunters were extrely petty.
Wang Zhan's expression changed. He had never imagined a city so disunited. But he quickly understood. Tianxiong City was rely a small place, but Kui City appeared vast, presumably housing all sorts of people. Furthermore, he could see that none of Kui City's gates seed to be closed. Presumably, one could enter and exit Kui City freely.
"So, kid, don't say I didn't warn you. You'd best discard those naive thoughts, lest you end up sorely disappointed," the Cat Demon Beast at his side said slowly.
After giving the Cat Demon Beast an icy look, Wang Zhan replied, "Rest assured, even if no one helps , you can't stop
from leaving. And even if the people of Kui City ignore demonic beasts outside, surely they wouldn't let a demonic beast enter Kui City itself, right?"
"What are you implying?"
Ignoring the Cat Demon Beast, Wang Zhan lifted his Deep Fire Blade and suddenly struck downwards towards him. A massive fire pillar instantly erupted, soaring towards the sky.
The Cat Demon Beast's expression changed. He hadn't expected Wang Zhan to launch a sudden sneak attack. Dodging the powerful attack by stepping backward, the Cat Demon Beast was about to charge at Wang Zhan when he saw Wang Zhan already sprinting towards Kui City in the distance.
"As long as I can enter Kui City before you do, I doubt even you would dare to pursue
further."
"Oh, and there's one more thing I should probably tell you."
"It wasn't those people who killed your cub. I was the one who killed him."
"But if you want revenge, you might as well save your breath. Once I enter Kui City, I won't be stepping out. So if you're willing to wait, feel free to stay here. But I will never leave the city."
Wang Zhan deliberately provoked the Cat Demon Beast.
The Cat Demon Beast's face instantly turned uglier. He clenched his fists, his entire being radiating pure rage.
His speed increased another notch.
Wang Zhan noticed the change and quickened his pace, continuously swinging the Deep Fire Blade behind him as he ran.
But these bursts of Fire Light couldn't stop the Cat Demon Beast's strides.
To Wang Zhan's shock, the Cat Demon Beast was incredibly fast. The distance between them was shrinking bit by bit. If this continued, Wang Zhan would soon be caught, unable to even reach Kui City.
"Kid, I already told you to stop your futile resistance. Since you have a death wish, don't bla
for being rciless," the Cat Demon Beast said coldly, speeding up once again, his movent like a teor.
Then, he raised a hand, clawing fiercely at Wang Zhan's back.
"Since you seek death, I shall grant it to you!"
Wang Zhan's expression changed. He hurriedly raised his Deep Fire Blade to defend himself.
The Deep Fire Blade clashed with the Cat Demon Beast's palm. A ripple of energy instantly spread out, and Wang Zhan was sent flying backward.
Damn it!
