Star Martial Soaring Cloud

Wang Xiao dared not be careless. He instantly used the Seven Star Rain Steps, his figure flashing to the side like a ghost, barely avoiding the fatal blow.

Niu Ben, a demon general from Kunlun Cave Heaven, is one of the twelve strongest warriors of Demon Island according to the intelligence records of Fengyuxuan.

This is no ordinary person.

The value of intelligence is now tangible.

The enemy is unaware of us, but we know the enemy well, which gives us a better chance of winning.

With a deafening roar, Niu Ben's right palm struck empty air, the powerful force of which slammed heavily into the ground, instantly splitting the earth into a deep ravine, sending rubble flying and dust billowing, its power terrifying.

"Hey, human, your movement skills are pretty good!"

Niu Ben snorted coldly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He moved swiftly, like a shadow, and pounced on Wang Xiao again.

With a flurry of punches and kicks, each strike carried immense force, and a violent demonic aura swept across the surrounding area, snapping all the trees in half and scattering rubble everywhere.

Unsure of his opponent's strength, Wang Xiao adopted a defensive strategy, waiting for the opponent to reveal a weakness before launching a swift and decisive attack.

While dodging, he secretly observed Niu Ben's moves and soon discovered that the bull demon's fighting style was extremely simple and brutal, without any exquisite techniques, relying entirely on his powerful physical body to crush everything in his path.

One force can overcome ten techniques; the physical body can break through all laws.

Each of his strikes was powerful and devastating.

Niu Ben was even more shocked.

As a demon general, his physical body was already incredibly strong.

Among the twelve tribes of the demon race, the Bull Tribe is the most physically powerful.

Among those of the same level, Niu Ben has never encountered a demon who can surpass him in physical strength. Even among the strong members of the Niu clan, very few can contend with him.

He never expected that the human boy in front of him would have such a powerful physical body.

Faced with his relentless and fierce attacks, Wang Xiao mostly chose to dodge, but the occasional counterattacks he launched were surprisingly powerful, making his arms go numb.

"Interesting! Very interesting!"

After a fierce attack, Niu Ben's anger subsided, and a hint of amusement and appreciation appeared in his eyes.

He abruptly stopped, staring down at Wang Xiao with a stern, arrogant voice: "Little brat, your physical body is quite impressive, much stronger than those weak human cultivators. I see you have potential; why not submit to me and become my pet? I'll spare your life and even teach you the demon race's physical cultivation techniques to make your body even more powerful. What do you say?"

"A human pet?"

Wang Xiao was taken aback at first, then threw his head back and laughed loudly, "Haha, you bull demon, you sure know how to daydream! I think you've lost your mind! But I have a better suggestion—you become my mount, carrying me around every day, and I'll spare your life, how about it?"

"Arrogant!"

Niu Ben flew into a rage, his bull-like eyes widening in fury, his killing intent surging, and the white breath he exhaled from his nostrils growing heavier. "You, a mere human youth, dare to speak so arrogantly! I see you are ignorant of your own limitations! Since you refuse to submit, then I will cripple your physical body and see if you still dare to be so arrogant!"

The paths of cultivation for humans and demons are inherently different.

Humans cannot enter the Dragon Gate Divine Realm without the Immortal Ephemeral Flower; but the demon race has no need for it.

The three demon generals who came to Demon Island from Kunlun Cave Heaven this time are all outstanding figures of the younger generation of the demon race.

Their purpose in coming to Demon Island was simple—to meet the young masters of the human race and prove who truly was the master of this land!

If it weren't for the restrictions on Demon Island, they could have entered the Dragon Gate Divine Realm at any time and become the Demon King!

In their eyes, it is ridiculous and incompetent that humanity needs to rely on external things to make breakthroughs.

"Destroy my physical body?"

Seeing how much the bull demon cared about his physical body, Wang Xiao chuckled and an idea came to him. "Niu Ben, don't say I'm bullying you. Today, we'll only compete with our physical bodies, without using any vital energy or any special techniques. Whoever loses will submit to the other. How about it?"

He had already made his plans. Although the bull demon's physical body was strong, his own was by no means weak.

In a physical confrontation, he might not necessarily lose. This is a good opportunity to test the limits of his physical body. Moreover, he has the trump card of the invisible water curtain.

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, Niu Ben was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter. His hoarse laughter shook the branches and leaves in the mountains, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. "Are you sure?"

Humans versus demons: a contest of physical strength?

Or is it against the Bull Clan, the most physically powerful among the demon race?

"Are you scared?" Wang Xiao continued to provoke him.

"Fine! What an arrogant brat! Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish! It'll be a fight to the death, whoever loses will submit to the other, it's a deal! If I lose, I'll become your mount; if you lose, I'll turn you into jerky and use you as a snack!"

Niu Ben strode forward, clenched his right fist, and slammed it towards Wang Xiao!

This punch relied purely on physical strength, without using any demonic energy, yet the wind from the punch howled, carrying a force as powerful as a landslide, as if it would crush everything into dust.

Wang Xiao neither dodged nor avoided, standing still with a glint in his eyes, showing no intention of using the invisible water curtain.

In this attack, he chose to confront the issue head-on, a direct confrontation.

His feet were firmly planted on the ground, his muscles tightened subtly, and his already upright figure became even more powerful. A surge of immense physical strength burst forth from his limbs and bones, causing his robes to flutter even without wind.

He clenched his right fist, his knuckles turning bluish-white, and slammed it out to meet Niu Ben's massive fist.

"Bang--!"

A deafening roar erupted, and a violent shockwave swept outwards from the two individuals.

The volcanic rocks on the ground were shattered and scattered by the shockwave, and the surrounding low shrubs were snapped in half by the blast wave, with branches and leaves flying everywhere.

Wang Xiao felt a tremendous force surge into his body through his fist, his arm went numb, and the volcanic rock beneath his feet cracked open with several deeper ravines. He involuntarily slid three feet backward before he could barely steady himself, his feet gripping the ground tightly, leaving two deep shoe prints.

Looking at Niu Ben again, his massive body was also knocked back two steps by the force of the impact, his chest heaving slightly, and a look of horror flashed in his copper bell-like eyes—he never expected that this human's physical body would be so strong, able to withstand his full-force attack and even knock him back!

Wang Xiao shook his numb fist, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said sarcastically, "It's nothing special."

"Good lad! His body is surprisingly tough!"

Niu Ben grinned wildly. After witnessing Wang Xiao's extraordinary physical body, his words became less violent and more appreciative.

The demon race has always revered strength, and the strong naturally deserve respect.

"Again! Let me see just how hard your body can get!"

He took a deep breath, his muscles tensed up again, his black hair stood on end, his massive body crouched slightly, and then suddenly exerted force, raising his right palm high with immense power and slamming it down on Wang Xiao's chest.

Punch when it comes, palm when it comes.

Wang Xiao saw the palm strike clearly and swung out a palm strike in return, fiercely meeting the attack.

"Snapped!"

The two palms clashed together, producing a deep, resounding thud, as if two mountains had collided.

Niu Ben was forced back half a step, his eyes filled with disbelief: "You... how can a little kid like you have such a strong body?"

He originally thought that one punch and one palm strike would be enough to cripple Wang Xiao's entire arm.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiao not only caught it steadily, but also managed to knock him back.

"Not bad," Wang Xiao said casually, shaking her slightly numb right hand. "Let's try again."

Niu Ben was thoroughly enraged by his nonchalant attitude, and with a roar, he pounced again.

I acknowledge your abilities, yet you dare to look down on me?

This time, he stopped testing the waters and went all out!

The fists were like mountains, each punch carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, pouring down on Wang Xiao like a storm.

A glint flashed in Wang Xiao's eyes, and he, not to be outdone, threw a punch to meet the attack.

The two engaged in a pure physical battle right there on this volcanic plain!

"Bang bang bang!"

The sounds of fists colliding were incessant, the ground cracked from the force of their blows, and the surrounding rocks were riddled with holes by flying debris.

Niu Ben grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed—his physical body was among the best in the demon race, yet the human youth before him possessed a physical body that was in no way weaker than his, and even slightly superior!

His fist struck Wang Xiao, leaving only a faint red mark that disappeared in an instant; but when Wang Xiao's fist landed on him, it made his blood surge and his bones ache.

"How is this possible!" Niu Ben roared, taking a few steps back to create distance between himself and Wang Xiao.

He was panting heavily, his bull-like eyes filled with disbelief: "How can a human's physical body be so strong? Which faction are you a disciple of?"

Wang Xiao stretched his limbs, crackling sounds emanating from his body, and said calmly, "No sect, just a rogue cultivator."

"Bullshit!" Niu Ben didn't believe it at all, his bull eyes wide open. "A rogue cultivator can have such a strong physical body? Do you think this demon general is a three-year-old child?"

Wang Xiao was too lazy to waste words with him, and beckoned with her finger: "Are you still going to fight or not? If not, admit defeat and obediently become my mount."

"You're asking for it!" Niu Ben roared in fury and lunged at him again.

This time, he stopped throwing punches randomly and instead gathered all his strength to strike Wang Xiao with a palm!

This palm strike was none other than Niu Ben's signature move – the Wild Bull Divine Palm!

The palm strike was accompanied by a howling wind, carrying an overwhelming force, as if it could shatter mountains with a single blow.

"Now!"

Wang Xiao remained calm, neither dodging nor retaliating, until just as Niu Ben's palm was about to strike his chest, he quietly activated the invisible water curtain.

A thin, almost invisible curtain of water instantly enveloped him.

With a muffled thud, Niu Ben slammed his right palm heavily onto the invisible water curtain. The violent force was instantly dissipated by the water curtain, leaving only a weak residual force to reach Wang Xiao.

Niu Ben's face had just shown a hint of smugness, thinking that this palm strike would surely shatter Wang Xiao's chest, but the next moment, his smile suddenly froze, and his eyes were filled with shock.

He felt as if he had slapped a ball of cotton, and his violent force was instantly neutralized.

Even more terrifying, a powerful force suddenly erupted from Wang Xiao's palm and rebounded violently along his arm!

The instant the invisible water curtain dissipated the force of Wang Xiao's palm, he suddenly exerted force with his right palm, gathering the power of his entire body in his palm, and slammed it fiercely towards Niu Ben's right palm.

With a crisp "crack," accompanied by Niu Ben's miserable scream, the bones in his right hand were instantly broken by Wang Xiao. His five fingers were twisted and deformed, covered with blood vessels, but because of the tough skin, not a single drop of blood spilled out.

If it were anyone else, they would probably already be covered in blood.

"Ah—! My hand! My hand!"

Niu Ben clutched his broken right hand, howling in pain and jumping up and down on the spot. His large, round eyes were filled with agony and disbelief. "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could your body be so strong! How could you break my hand?!"

He couldn't believe that his prized physical body had been shattered by a human youth's bare hands with a single blow.

This is an utter disgrace! If word gets out, he, the demon general of Kunlun Cave Heaven, will be utterly humiliated.

Wang Xiao withdrew his right palm, looked at his hand, and said innocently, "Huh? So fragile? I thought the demon race's physical body was so powerful."

"Bullshit! You definitely used your vital energy!" Niu Ben roared. "This demon general refuses to accept this!"

"Whether I used my inner energy or not, don't you know that yourself?" Wang Xiao shrugged, his tone sincere. "That palm strike I just delivered was purely physical strength. Don't believe me? Try it again!"

"I'll give it a try! I don't believe in this nonsense!"

Niu Ben gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain in his right arm. With a roar, he clenched his left fist and slammed it down at Wang Xiao again!

Despite having lost an arm, he still adhered to his agreement to use only his physical strength, a frankness that was truly touching.

He used all his strength in this punch, the wind from the punch howled, almost tearing the air apart.

Wang Xiao remained unfazed, slowly raising her left hand to meet the attack calmly.

Just as their fists and palms collided, an invisible water curtain reappeared, dissipating most of the impact from Niu Ben's fist.

Immediately, Wang Xiao exerted force with his left hand, and a surge of violent power flowed out from his fist, slamming hard into Niu Ben's fist.

"Snap!"

Another crisp sound of bone cracking.

Niu Ben's left fist was completely deformed, his five fingers were twisted, a large bulge appeared on his wrist, and the bone was broken even more completely than in his right palm.

"ah--"

Niu Ben let out another scream, clutching his left arm and jumping three times, tears welling in his eyes from the pain. "You... what kind of body do you have? This demon general refuses to accept this! Refuses it!"

Wang Xiao withdrew his left hand, looked at Niu Ben's miserable state, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Brother Niu, both your left and right hands are useless now, what's the use of complaining?"

Despite being drenched in sweat from the pain, Niu Ben stubbornly refused to move, his eyes wide with fury: "This demon general still has legs! Still has a head! I can still kill you with my head!"

As he spoke, he suddenly took a step forward and stomped his right foot hard on the ground, causing the ground to tremble violently.

Seeing this, Wang Xiao sighed softly, "Again?"

Just as he was about to make his move, he saw Niu Ben suddenly lower his body and kneel down on both knees with a "thud." His huge bull head slammed heavily on the ground, causing the ground to tremble again.

"If you do not abandon me, I am willing to acknowledge you as my father!"
