113: Chapter 113 Battle Against the Demon

The entire area fell into a dead silence!

With a single slap, the demon who had just broken out of the seal was sent crashing into the ground.

Emperor Xuan and the group of Earthly Immortals were dumbstruck, staring at Lu Hu, unable to speak for a long time.

Was he really that direct?

But that slap certainly looked satisfying.

Fellow Daoist Lu Hu's strength seems to have grown significantly.

"All that laughing and cackling—did being locked up break your brain?"

Lu Hu withdrew his hand. "The Sword God fell long ago, but if you want to fight, I can keep you company!"

Boom!

The demon roared as he soared into the sky. He was in human form, about the size of an ordinary person, but his entire body emanated a demonic aura that could change the very color of the heavens and earth.

Due to Lu Hu's slap, half of his demonic face was sunken in. His eyes were filled with endless brutality. "You dare strike this seat?! You beast, you actually dare to lay a hand on this seat! How dare you hit me?"

"Wait, the Sword God is dead?"

"Is it true?"

"Hahaha! Good riddance! Good riddance!"

"Ant, tell this seat where the Sword God is buried, and I might grant you a swift death!"

"Hmm? Did you just hit me? Dammit, how dare you hit me?"

"Die! Die for me!"

"Wait, the Sword God is dead?"

"Hahaha! Good riddance! Good riddance!"

"Everyone die! Die, all of you!"

...

The demon's words were incoherent; one moment he was laughing, the next he was raving mad.

He vented his rage randomly at his surroundings, unleashing wave after wave of terrifying power.

Lu Hu did not continue his attack, instead observing from the side.

Rumor had it that this demon was once an Earthly Immortal who cared for the world. In his desire to slay demons and restore peace, he had risked consuming a fruit containing demonic aura to enhance his strength.

But he had overestimated himself. Influenced by the Demonic Fruit, he transformed into a world-destroying demon.

This was why the Sword God had not killed the demon after subduing him.

The Sword God hoped the demon would cultivate patiently within the seal, master the demonic power, and regain his sanity.

But the Sword God's hopes were in vain. A thousand years had passed, and the demon had grown stronger and even more insane.

"His true self is lost."

After observing, Lu Hu's gaze was now filled with killing intent.

The original Earthly Immortal who cared for the world was long gone. The current demon was merely a monster that maniacally desired to destroy everything.

"The Sword God is dead! There is no longer anything in this world that can stop me! Hahahaha... Hahaha... Hmm?"

The crazed demon suddenly stopped laughing and stared straight at Lu Hu. After a long while, as if finally reacting, he pointed at Lu Hu.

"You just hit me, didn't you?"

Lu Hu was taken aback. "Man, your brain's a bit slow, isn't it?"

"How bold! You think calling me 'man' will make me spare you?" The demon was furious. "I'm going to skin you and make a coat!"

Slap!

Lu Hu struck instantly. His massive palm, carrying the Five-Colored Divine Light, struck the crown of the demon's head. The demon couldn't even dodge before being smashed into the ground again.

"Aaaaah!!"

Boom!

Dust filled the air as a pitch-black colossus manifested between heaven and earth. Its body was so massive it seemed it would burst the world. Demonic aura surged, transforming into countless black claws that blanketed the sky as they lunged toward Lu Hu. Everywhere the claws passed, even the air sizzled from corrosion.

Seeing this, Lu Hu also manifested a giant tiger. He simply used the Five Elements Power to construct a Five Elements Giant Tiger.

Slap! Slap!

Lu Hu ignored the demon's attacks. His technique remained the same: slapping the demon across the face.

The demon's rage continued to mount, but it was useless; he still had to take Lu Hu's slaps to the face.

"Ugh—"

This was a terrifying battle, a collision of the purest power. Every shockwave it generated was something even an Earthly Immortal could not withstand at close range.

Yet, in a battle whose shockwaves could potentially kill them, the immortals of the Xuan Kingdom couldn't help but want to laugh.

The demon was a complete punching bag. His speed and power were entirely inferior to Lu Hu's, leaving him to be pummeled at will.

"Watching this makes me want to go up and take a couple of swings too," Great Venerable Wo Ri said with a simple smile, shouldering his large club.

But it was just a thought. Despite the demon constantly getting beaten and looking weak, if he were to get close, he would die in a single encounter.

Smiles appeared on the others' faces. The situation was much easier than expected; this Great Calamity would be easy to overcome.

"Don't relax. Something doesn't seem right," Emperor Xuan said in a heavy voice.

"Haven't you noticed? The Great Demon's aura hasn't weakened at all."

Hearing this, the immortals' expressions turned solemn as they observed again.

"It really hasn't."

"This is going to be trouble!"
