The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 80, it's so meaty! I'm stuffed!
beep--

Hearing the dial tone, Li Xingzhou put down the phone and said to Emma:

"You keep eating, I'll be right back."

Although Emma didn't hear what Gwen said, she did hear keywords like "big monster" in Li Xingzhou's words, so she stood up and said:
"Boss, I'd like to help too."

Li Xingzhou smiled:

"If Spider-Woman couldn't handle this monster, you're even less capable of dealing with it now."

Emma insisted:
"I can observe from afar and look for opportunities."

Li Xingzhou pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Then let's go together."

After saying that, he called the waiter to pay the bill, then took Emma out of the restaurant and turned into a quiet alley. Suddenly, a pair of huge silver wings unfolded on his back, and he took off into the sky with Emma in his arms, flying towards Harlem in northern Manhattan.

Li Xingzhou's current flight speed is not very fast; even at full speed, his speed is only about 300 kilometers per hour.

But this is enough for the city.

Even in Manhattan, the most bustling area in the United States, no family member would drive at 300 kilometers per hour.

Flying in a straight line, he quickly brought Emma close to Harlem. In the distance, they could see an armed helicopter circling low, firing wildly at the ground. Two other media helicopters were also approaching the scene with the ferocity of a robbery.

As you get closer, you can hear a cacophony of noises, including car horns, screams, cries, and the crashing of heavy objects. You can also see huge flames burning and billowing smoke rising into the sky.

"What a grand display!"

Li Xingzhou sighed and flew towards the area below the helicopter, where smoke and dust were billowing, flames were raging, and loud noises were constant. After approaching that area, he landed on the rooftop of a building with Emma.

Standing on the edge of the rooftop of that building, which was over a hundred meters high, and looking down by the light of the fire, one could see a humanoid monster, more than three meters tall, smashing and destroying something in the ruins of a building amidst the billowing smoke and dust.

Gwen, dressed in a battle suit of dark purple, crimson, and pure white, was flying around it, occasionally shooting out webs in an attempt to restrict its movements, but to little avail.

Looking at the enormous body and dark green skin of the humanoid behemoth, Li Xingzhou couldn't help but be slightly taken aback:
"Could it really be the Hulk going berserk?"

But he quickly dismissed the guess, because the giant had a string of protruding bone spurs running from the back of its head to its spine, and it was bald, while the Hulk had hair...

"So it was hatred..."

After a brief observation, Li Xingzhou picked up Emma again and continued to approach the battlefield. He then put Emma down in a five-story apartment building about 100 meters from the center of the battlefield.

"Take care of yourself, I have to go help!"

After saying that, he took out a Guan Gong mask he bought in Chinatown and put it on. After thinking for a moment, he activated his true energy and attached it to the silver wings. Then, the true energy turned into blood flames, making the wings look like a pair of blood-red fire wings. Only then did he flap his wings and fly towards the center of the battlefield.

……

Bang!
Gwen crossed her arms and held them across her chest, barely managing to withstand the massive slap that came from Abomination.

Although she wasn't slapped in the face, the terrifying impact still sent her flying like a baseball, hurled half a block backward before crashing heavily into a bus, creating a large hole in the vehicle and plunging into the interior, where she became wedged between two rows of seats.

Fortunately, all the passengers on the bus had already escaped; otherwise, this incident would have resulted in heavy casualties.

Before Gwen could catch her breath, still dizzy and with a tightness in her chest, heavy footsteps sounded. Abomination strode forward like a heavily armored tank at full throttle, roaring to the front of the bus. With a rip, it tore open the outer skin of the bus, sticking its hideous face inside. It grinned menacingly at Gwen, then reached out its massive hand, fingers spread wide, and grabbed at her.

Stuck between the two rows of seats, Gwen couldn't get up in time. In his haste, he could only reach out with both hands and grab Abomination's thumb and little finger respectively, wrestling with him.

But the power of hatred is incredibly strong.

Even with Gwen's full power, which allows her to lift twenty tons, she couldn't stop him with just one hand. Her joints were creaking as she was forced backward, and it looked like Abomination was about to pin her hands down and grab her face.

Just then, a long, resonant clang, like the sound of swords clashing, suddenly rang out from behind the abomination.

Then, Abomination roared in pain, abruptly pulling back the large hand that had been pressing down on Gwen, and in a fit of rage, turned around and threw a punch.

Bang!
With a single punch, the air exploded, creating a visible sonic boom.

But this powerful punch, capable of destroying a tank, landed in vain, hitting nothing at all.

With the hatred no longer obstructing her view, Gwen was finally able to see the people who had come to her aid through the hole torn open by the hatred in the carriage.

It was a man wearing a strange mask, a mid-length trench coat, and a pair of giant wings of blood-red flames fluttering behind him.

He slowly flapped his giant wings, hovering in mid-air, exchanged a glance with Gwen, and nodded slightly.

Although the other person was wearing a mask and had a pair of giant blood-flame wings on his back, Gwen recognized him from his eyes in just one glance.

"Li Ang? When did he grow a pair of fiery wings?"

Gwen was slightly taken aback, feeling both strange and a little sweet—he had still rushed over despite her warnings, arriving at her most critical moment, attracting the attention of the Abomination, and helping her escape danger.

At this moment, Li Xingzhou, who was facing away from the bus and towering in the sky, roared, raised his hand and snapped off a lamppost, using the lamppost as a javelin to throw at Li Xingzhou in the air.

The throw was powerful and heavy; the sound of the lamppost piercing the air was like the whistling of a cannonball. Judging by its momentum, it could probably even pierce through an armored vehicle with a single blow.

However, such an obvious and direct attack was unlikely to hit Li Xingzhou.

With a gentle flap of his wings, he darted away, easily dodging the attack. At the same time, he formed his fingers into a blade and unleashed a "Blood-Transforming Demon Blade." With a long, resonant sound, the crimson blade light, like a blazing rainbow, tore through the air and struck the Abomination's chest with a soft thud.

This slash cut straight through the abomination's chest, tearing the skin and flesh apart.

However, just like when he slashed Abomination from behind to help Gwen earlier, although Abomination roared in pain, the huge wound, which was several feet long, healed rapidly within a few breaths, leaving no scar in the blink of an eye.

"This self-healing ability is practically cheating."

Li Xingzhou shook his head helplessly.

The aura of the Blood-Transforming Demon Blade could turn a person's internal organs, muscles, and bones into blood. An ordinary person would not last more than three seconds after being slashed, even if it was just a scratch.

Even if a martial artist or cultivator with an extraordinary physique manages to withstand the erosion of the sword energy, the wound will not heal. If it is not treated in time, the person will continue to lose blood until they die from exhaustion.

In the past, whenever Li Xingzhou fought against opponents of higher levels, his usual tactic was to suddenly unleash a "Blood-Transforming Demon Blade" to inflict a wound on his opponent, then engage in a full-scale battle to prevent the opponent from healing and eventually wear them down to death.

But this approach doesn't work against hatred.

This guy's vitality is ridiculously strong. Not only did he withstand the sword energy, but his wounds also healed within seconds. In terms of physical strength alone, Abomination's physique is comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator who specializes in body refinement.

Fortunately, he didn't possess the supernatural combat skills, divine weapons, or protective true essence of a Golden Core cultivator, nor could he fly or escape into the earth. Otherwise, given Li Xingzhou's current cultivation level, which was only equivalent to the early stage of Qi Refining, he probably wouldn't even be able to break through his skin, or even last a single exchange.

"With that self-healing ability, there's no way he could possibly die from it. But... his vitality is quite a gift to me!"

Li Xingzhou's eyes flickered as he looked at the enraged abomination on the ground. Suddenly, he sidestepped a flying stone thrown into the air by the abomination, then formed hand seals, his ten fingers flying, and tiny flames of blood shot out from his fingertips, like a meteor shower, shooting down towards the abomination.

Relying on his immortality, the abomination made no attempt to dodge. He grabbed a car with both hands, crumpled it into a ball, and then hurled it at Li Xingzhou.

Li Xingzhou had the advantage of flight and easily dodged the attack. At the same time, the blood flames that flew out from his fingertips kept falling. In the blink of an eye, the blood flames landed on the Abomination, sticking to its skin and burning it continuously. The Abomination roared in pain.

But this effect made Li Xingzhou shake his head helplessly.

His "Blood-Transforming Demon Flame" is capable of exploding upon contact with blood; a single flame can instantly burn an ordinary person to ashes.

Even if a cultivator's cultivation level is several minor levels higher than his, if the blood flames scorch through his protective magic artifacts and true essence, and touch his skin, he will be burned with blood holes, and the demonic flames will invade his meridians and muscles, frantically burning his spiritual power and blood. His cultivation and physical strength will continue to weaken, and eventually he will be exhausted and turn into a dried corpse.

But this hatred...

Aside from screaming in pain, he didn't suffer any other injuries.

The Blood-Transforming Demon Flame could barely scorch through his surface green skin, and it couldn't penetrate his flesh at all. It also couldn't exert any effect in burning his blood and weakening his strength. Dozens of blood flames scorched through his body, but he was still full of energy and lively.

"Resistance is cheating too! This world is ridiculous. Ordinary people don't need to work hard to cultivate. As long as they are lucky enough, they can easily reach the top in one step... How am I, a cultivator who relies on my own hard work, supposed to survive?"

He sighed, then suddenly flapped his wings and swooped down.

Since ranged attacks are ineffective, we'll have to resort to melee combat!
As he roared and frantically patted the blood flames on his body, seemingly showing no suspicion or hatred towards Li Xingzhou, a cunning glint suddenly flashed in his eyes. Just as Li Xingzhou swooped down above his head, he abruptly raised his large hand and grabbed at the giant blood flame wings on Li Xingzhou's back.

But his little tricks were nothing to Li Xingzhou.

As the giant abomination reached out, he folded his wings, and the blood-flame wings vanished instantly. His figure grazed past the abomination's thick, log-like arm, and at the same time, he slapped the abomination's shoulder before gracefully landing on the ground.

This palm strike seemed light and weak, but after being struck, the person felt a slight stiffness. The skin on the shoulder where the palm struck became dry and dull, and the muscles sagged, as if plump fresh meat had turned into withered jerky.

Now that Li Xingzhou has returned to the Innate Realm, he no longer needs to make complicated preparations such as drawing blood incantations and forming hand seals to unleash the Heavenly Demon Four Eclipses. He can activate the Heavenly Demon Four Eclipses and plunder the life essence of his opponents with just a few gestures.

The palm strike that landed on Abomination's shoulder only robbed Abomination of a negligible amount of its life force.

But even this little bit of vitality made Li Xingzhou feel a surge of almost violent life force rush into his body, causing his whole body to swell slightly, his body to expand uncontrollably by a small size, and even his body to become somewhat out of control. He also stiffened slightly for a moment after landing.

Fortunately, Hatred was also stunned by his palm strike and failed to catch his small opening.

Gwen also joined the battle at this moment. While Li Xingzhou and Abomination were both stunned, she leaped over and kicked Abomination in the waist and ribs with both legs, sending his huge body flying to the side and crashing into the ruins of the building.

At this moment, Li Xingzhou exhaled a breath of turbid air, having refined the life force he had plundered. His physique returned to normal, and he regained control of his body.

After resolving this minor trouble, Li Xingzhou and Gwen exchanged a glance and charged toward Abomination, who had just risen from the ruins.

Gwen started by smearing spider webs on Abomination's face. As Abomination tore at the webs, she slid in and hit Abomination's ankle. Abomination immediately lost his balance and his massive body fell forward. Li Xingzhou seized the opportunity and leaped over Abomination, stepping on the back of his head. Abomination, who was already falling forward, suddenly accelerated tenfold. His hideous face slammed into the ground with a thud, and his entire face was embedded in the ground.

Gwen shot out another web, which stuck to a broken wall, then pulled it back and slammed it hard into Abomination's back.

However, the combined attack of the two did not defeat the Abomination. While roaring angrily, the Abomination braced itself with its hands on the ground and smashed through the broken wall on its back, pulling its face out of the ground as it tried to get up.

Seeing this, Li Xingzhou spread his wings and soared into the sky. He flipped in the air, then folded his wings, turned upside down, and swooped down like a meteor. Then he struck out with both palms, slamming them hard into the back of the abomination.

Bang!
With a thunderous bang, the violent palm strike unleashed a shockwave that sent up billowing dust that spread in all directions. The Abomination, which had just managed to stand up halfway, was blasted back to the ground, its flesh withered and turned shriveled.

Li Xingzhou once again plundered the life force of the Abomination. This time he was prepared and quickly adapted to the impact of the violent life force. While refining it, he flapped his wings and soared into the sky. Gwen made up for the deficiency in time and launched a spider web to pull up a broken wall, which smashed onto the Abomination's back again.

Previously, when Gwen was alone, in order to stop the Abomination from destroying buildings and harming innocents, she often had to give up her agility advantage and take the Abomination's attacks head-on. As a result, she was beaten by the Abomination and tossed around like a ball.

With Li Xingzhou's help, the situation immediately reversed. The two of them worked together to hold Abomination under control for more than a minute.

For more than a minute, the two men kept pressing Abomination to the ground and rubbing him against the ground, preventing him from getting up again.

However, although the fight was exhilarating, the Abomination was so incredibly tough that Li Xingzhou and Gwen's attacks, no matter how fierce and heavy, could only prevent the Abomination from getting up, but could not cause any real damage to it.

Even though Li Xingzhou's Heavenly Demon Four Eclipses were constantly plundering the life force of the Abomination, and he himself was almost full, the Abomination was still full of energy. The flesh that had withered after being struck by Li Xingzhou's palm was basically restored within a few seconds. Its life force was simply unfathomable!
