Starting as a stray dog, I embarked on a journey of cultivation.

Just as the human and the demon were locked in a fierce battle in mid-air, Gou An secretly used his demonic magic to create a clone.

He left a clone behind, then took the opportunity to hide in the forest below with the Divine Iron Hammer, and quietly crept towards the area directly below where the two sides were fighting, looking for an opportunity to strike.

At this moment, the two Nascent Soul level experts were locked in fierce combat, their sword flashes and palm strikes flying wildly, causing the mountains and forests below to break and the earth to crumble.

Unfortunately, as the battle intensified, Xuan Kongzi clearly began to fall into a disadvantageous position.

After all, Xuan Kongzi still had a soul imprint that hadn't been completely broken, which suppressed part of his cultivation. In addition, he had just come out of seclusion, and his spiritual energy wasn't fully replenished.

Seeing this, Gou An knew he had to take action.

Otherwise, once Xuan Kongzi is defeated, he will immediately become the next target of Blind Tiger.

So Gou An gently touched the black snake bracelet on his wrist and asked, "Big Black, can you withstand one of his blows?"

The bracelet vibrated slightly, as if telling Gou An that he could do it.

"Since it works, then we'll do it like this from now on..." Gou An raised his left hand and whispered to the black snake bracelet on his wrist.

Meanwhile, in mid-air.

Having gained the upper hand, the blind tiger had completely suppressed Xuan Kongzi, and each of his strikes was faster and more ferocious than the last.

Xuan Kongzi is not good at close combat, but is better at attrition from a distance.

Faced with the blind tiger's frenzied attacks, he could only condense a black energy shield around his body to defend and block, buy time, and look for the opponent's weakness.

"Useless!" The blind tiger, enveloped in crimson demonic energy, slashed and roared, "Let's see how long you can last! After I kill you, you old bastard, I'll definitely stew you into soup!"

"You think you can kill me? Not so easy!" Xuan Kongzi blocked with both arms in front of him. With a thought, several wisps of black energy suddenly rose from the sky and transformed into a black ball that hurtled towards the blind tiger.

Seeing this, the blind tiger did not dodge at all, but instead slashed several times into the air.

The crimson blade energy slashed out, instantly obliterating the clusters of black energy.

But in this brief moment, Xuan Kongzi seized the opportunity and suddenly struck out with his palm, hitting the blind tiger squarely on the chest armor.

A muffled thud!

The blind tiger was sent flying, but after flying a considerable distance, it suddenly stopped in mid-air.

He glanced down at the palm print on his chest armor and frowned immediately: "What a powerful palm strike! It even dented my Crimson Flame Armor."

Xuan Kongzi shook his hand and said, "If it weren't for your armor protecting you, this palm strike would have already taken your life."

"Heh!" Blind Tiger chuckled coldly. "But with this armor, you can't do anything to me!"

After saying this, he drew his sword again, and his demonic aura suddenly expanded, becoming several times more turbulent than before, clearly preparing to use his full strength.

Xuan Kongzi frowned slightly, knowing that what followed was likely an even fiercer battle, so much so that he could only swallow a pill.

The next second, the black aura around him expanded several times over.

Looking up from the ground to the sky, Gou An could see a ball of crimson flames, like fire, facing off against a ball of pitch-black flames.

Two powerful auras were released into the sky without reservation, frightening the monsters in the mountains and forests below into fleeing for their lives.

Then the red flames blasted towards the black flames, leaving a long trail of fire at an extremely fast speed.

However, Xuan Kongzi, whose body was shrouded in black mist, did not intend to engage in close combat with the blind tiger. Instead, he dodged and created distance in the air while continuously releasing wave after wave of black mist attacks.

At this moment, Blind Tiger's attention was entirely on Xuan Kongzi, and Gou An knew that his chance had come.

So he took off the black bracelet and threw it into the sky. The bracelet instantly turned into a black snake, and its body rapidly expanded and grew larger, pouncing towards the ball of red flames.

At this moment, the blind tiger chasing Xuan Kongzi was focused on the battle when he suddenly noticed something unusual below and looked down sharply.

Upon discovering the giant python lunging at him, he immediately slashed downwards with his sword.

The crimson blade flashed out with astonishing power, striking the giant python's body precisely.

With a soft "plop!"

The blade easily shattered the python's seemingly indestructible scales, leaving a huge wound on its body from which blood gushed forth.

Just as the giant python was falling after being stabbed, it endured the pain and suddenly swung its tail into the air, throwing Gou An, who was following behind, directly at the blind tiger.

With the giant python's help, Gou An unleashed his fastest speed, his right hand gripping the divine iron hammer, ready to strike.

When Blind Tiger saw Gou An appear, he subconsciously looked at another Gou An in the distant sky and frowned.

"He's asking for it!"

Without a second thought, the blind tiger raised his sword, ready to strike and kill Gou An.

Just as he made his move, Xuan Kongzi saw through Gou An's intentions and immediately struck out with his palm, releasing a burst of black energy that directly enveloped the long sword in Gou An's hand, preventing him from swinging it.

Just as Gou An's hammer was about to smash down, the blind tiger suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a scorching pillar of fire, which directly engulfed Gou An, who was charging towards it.

Although this fire was not an innate spiritual fire, it was the primordial fire of the blind tiger, and its temperature was extremely high.

If a person or monster at the normal level of the Transcendent God Realm were to be hit head-on by this, they would be instantly turned into charred remains.

"Take this!"

But the next second, Gou An emerged unharmed from the flames and swung his divine iron hammer fiercely.

"How is that possible?" Blind Tiger's pupils shrank instantly.

Seeing that the iron hammer was already close at hand, he could only quickly gather a demonic energy shield to block it in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Gou An slammed down with the divine iron hammer in his hand.

In an instant, the demonic energy shield formed by the gathering of the primordial spirit of the great demon shattered like a layer of ice.

The iron hammer pierced through the shattered shield and landed on the blind tiger's chest armor.

Another muffled sound.

The crimson armor on the blind tiger's chest, which had just blocked Xuan Kongzi's palm strike, shattered with a crack, turning into countless fragments.

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blind tiger felt a violent impact on his chest, as if he had been hit by a mountain. His body was immediately sent flying backward, falling from the sky into the forest below, raising a cloud of dust.

After delivering that hammer blow, Gou An immediately swallowed a Qi-replenishing pill to regain some strength, nearly falling directly from the air.

"You're dead!" Gou An gasped for breath, looking down, not daring to approach easily.

Xuan Kongzi suddenly appeared beside Gou An, and after a closer look, said, "It seems he's not dead yet."

As he spoke, Xuan Kongzi slapped the ground with his palm.

The wind from the palm dispersed the dust and smoke, revealing a large open pit.

At the bottom of the pit, in the middle, lay the dying, blind tiger, Lord Jinyang.

He had just gotten up from the ground, naked, covered in mud and dust, looking disheveled, with blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth.

He was clearly seriously injured!
