Chapter 378: Chapter 335: I’ll Take That as a Compliment

A bronze hand weighing fifty kilograms and sixty centimeters in length, a bit larger than the combined arms of an adult.

Such a bronze hand, now endowed with Wu Xiaode’s strength bonus and performing the boxing technique he had painstakingly practiced for over a hundred years—

The Heavy Armored Lion Demon charging at the front was struck in the cheek by a bronze hand.

Crack.

A crisp sound.

The Lion Demon’s face was directly smashed, its body tumbling and spinning on the ground.

It tried to rise but staggered and failed to stand several times, eventually collapsing to the ground, convulsing for a while before becoming motionless.

—That punch had turned its cervical vertebrae, facial bones, and brain into a pulp.

This was a straight punch.

A straight punch delivered by Wu Xiaode.

As he threw his punch, a thousand bronze hands swung alongside it, striking out with the same straight punch.

Dense bronze fists, like a rapid storm, pierced through the entire street in one breath.

The demons lay on the ground groaning incessantly.

The sky was dyed deep red by the firelight.

Apart from this street, other parts of the city continuously echoed with shrill screams and cries.

Wu Xiaode stood his ground, took a deep breath, and roared loudly,

"I am Wu Xiaode, slaughtering you demons and devils as easily as butchering pigs and dogs. Do any of you have the courage to fight me to the death?"

The sound shook the wilderness.

The entire city seemed to hear his voice.

Other noises gradually fell silent.

A laugh erupted from the western part of the city,

"A mere martial artist of the Human Race dares to be so presumptuous here?"

A shadow rocketed into the sky and sped toward Wu Xiaode’s location.

Wu Xiaode slowly assumed his boxing stance in place.

As the shadow plunged from the sky with a piercing shriek, he suddenly bent his waist, stepped forward, and threw an uppercut from the ground.

His whole body soared into the sky with that uppercut.

Without any defense or surprise, his uppercut directly shattered the lower jaw of a monstrous bird with a human face.

—It wasn’t over yet!

Mid-air, Wu Xiaode twisted, swinging a roundhouse punch.

Crack.

The head of the monstrous bird was smashed, its brains mixed with blood splattering out.

Wu Xiaode flipped and landed lightly on the roof of a building, erupting in a roar once again,

"You filthy demons, who among you dares to come and fight me!"

The whole city trembled.

A ferocious voice rose from the city center,

"Don’t be arrogant, lad. I will crush you into a meat patty."

The ground kept shaking.

A five-meter-tall two-headed giant ape strode rapidly towards Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode stood on the roof, assuming his boxing stance.

As the two-headed giant ape reached him, it clasped its hands into a massive hammer shape and smashed down ruthlessly.

Wu Xiaode didn’t budge.

Just as the hammer was about to crush his skull, he swung his fist, striking rapidly forward.

Thrust punch.

Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss—

The air emitted a series of plaintive tearing sounds.

His punch was so fast that from afar, one could only see a blurred afterimage.

It was impossible to know how many punches he had thrown in that instant.

Thud!

A series of impact sounds merged into one, and the two-headed giant ape’s hands were beaten back, its body staggered several steps backwards before barely stabilizing.

It finally showed a grave expression.

"Who are you?" the giant ape demanded.

"From the Human Race, Wu Xiaode."

"Wu Xiaode, good, you are worthy of dying by my—"

Boom!!!

In the sky, hundreds of bronze fists merged into a giant fist and smashed down fiercely.

That punch landed on the two-headed giant ape, blasting it into the ground and directly forming a deep crater.

Dust billowed high into the air.

There was no sound from within the crater anymore.

"It seems you were not worthy after all," said Wu Xiaode coldly.

He looked around.

In the city, the screams of the humans gradually ceased.

Countless monsters climbed atop skyscrapers, all staring intently in Wu Xiaode’s direction.

They fixed their gaze on Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode took another deep breath and roared,

"Come on, demons, don’t you love feasting on us humans? If any of you have even the slightest bit of guts, come and fight me!"

The whole city fell silent.

Wu Xiaode waited for a few moments before suddenly grinning and saying, "Not one brave soul among you, it seems you’re all trash."

Among the demons, a Wolf Demon suddenly called out,

"Fellows, there’s no point talking justice with humans. If we all attack together, we can surely kill him and feast on his flesh and blood!"

The demons were tempted.

Indeed.

If one couldn’t win against you, but what if all the demons in the city attacked at once?

We’d bury you alive!

The demons started to become restless.

From all directions, they either ran across the ground or flew through the air, collectively charging toward Wu Xiaode.

Within the encirclement,

Wu Xiaode assumed his boxing stance, rotated his wrists, and said in a low voice,

"Since I mastered my skills, I have yet to use any special moves."

He threw a punch toward the sky.

Iron Wire Fist: Destroying Power!

An intense fist energy thundered through the air, creating an explosive peal like lightning.

——After more than a hundred years of practicing boxing, the potency of this Iron Wire Fist had become utterly incomparable to its former self!

The swiftest of the avian demons were reduced to a blur of blood mist on impact.

The mist of blood scattered across the sky.

Wu Xiaode gazed upon the ravaged city, looking at the corpses of the Human Race strewn about, and chanted softly,

"Weakened orchids escort the guests on Xianyang Road, even the sky ages if it has feelings."

As his voice fell.

The hovering bronze giant hand disintegrated with a "whoosh," returning to hundreds of bronze hands that struck out following Wu Xiaode’s punching motion.

Heaven and Earth Emperor Fist: Farewell!

For a moment, the world was filled with the unending sound of blows.

All the demons were flung into the sky.

The entire heavens were obscured by the assorted demons, concealing the color of the firmament.

However, this punch was without any actual harm.

——"Farewell" could only send the target flying, making it float in the air.

So Wu Xiaode’s next punch followed.

He stood still, retracted his fist, stepped forward, and threw another punch.

Iron Wire Fist: Iron Hand Bars the River!

With one punch.

Thousands of punches followed.

A giant beam of white light split the heavens and earth, separating everything.

This sky-obscuring white light chased after them, wiping the floating demons clean from the sky.

The world was emptied.

Heaven and earth fell silent.

Blazes and billowing smoke burned within the city, casting everything in a blood-like glow.

But the demons that preyed on humans were no more.

Wu Xiaode silently watched the entire city.

A middle-aged man flew to his side, surveying the surroundings together.

"Now I finally understand why you earned the spirit’s recognition," he said with a hint of a smile.

"Well, it’s a bit embarrassing, but I’ll take that as a compliment from Master," Wu Xiaode replied with a smile.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted from outside the city:

"Good! The Human Race has finally produced a decent youngster, worth a personal visit by me."

A human-scorpion monster as tall as a mountain appeared outside the city.

Its aura was different from all the demons encountered before.

——It was not of this level, but a High-level existence.

Given its strength, one thing was almost certain——

It could kill Wu Xiaode and the middle-aged man instantly!

"Who are you? What do you want to say?" Wu Xiaode asked.

The human-faced scorpion said, "I am the Ancient Scorpion Demon Patriarch of the Eastern Mountain Ranges, ruling over all the demons you see here."

"You’re responsible for the slaughter of this city?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"I am," it answered.

The human-faced scorpion continued, "Listen, youngster of the Human Race, you have good potential, but it’s still too forced to fight me."

"You’re right, so I won’t fight you," Wu Xiaode said.

"Oh? You’re planning to surrender?"

"Go to hell."

A Deep Red Beam suddenly emerged from behind the human-faced scorpion and struck it directly.

The human-faced scorpion burst into a scream of terror and anger, crying out:

"Ah——who dares to sneak attack me!"

No one responded.

But a female voice chuckled, "Don’t move, hun. I’ve used a pretty High-level immobilization spell on you."

The human-faced scorpion found itself unable to move.

Sizzle!

Another Deep Red Beam hit it.

It immediately regained movement, leaped up, and screamed loudly, "Ah——coward!"

The female voice chuckled again, "Don’t move, hun. I’ve used a pretty High-level immobilization spell on you."

Sizzle!

Another Deep Red Beam hit it.

It immediately regained movement, leaped up, and screamed loudly, "Waah——come out if you dare——"

The female voice chuckled again, "Don’t move, hun. I’ve used a pretty High-level immobilization spell on you."

This process repeated seven times.

——The Ancient Scorpion Demon Patriarch from the Eastern Mountain Ranges, dead.

From beginning to end, the Cyclops and Enchanting Demon hid within the silent Demon Mist, one shooting, the other seducing, chaining attacks until the death.

The so-called Scorpion Demon Patriarch didn’t even get a chance to strike back before it was immobilized and continuously struck dead, not even setting eyes on the two Demon Gods.

On the rooftop.

"Your doing?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Yes," Wu Xiaode said.

"Why not fight him fair and square——" The middle-aged man didn’t finish his sentence, as he broke off dumbfounded.

They simply couldn’t prevail in a head-on fight.

The enemy, having lived for who knows how many years and consumed how many humans, had a cultivation several times theirs.

"Master, it came to slaughter the city; we need not adhere to any chivalric code with such an Evil Demon," Xiaode said.

After saying this, he went on to judge himself, "The lines it repeated just before dying were full of emotion; they could be made into a sound effect, turned into a DJ dance track, and spread far and wide. It should have a pretty good effect in deterring the demons."

The middle-aged man listened silently, sinking into profound silence.

After a while, he shook his head and said:

"Now I finally understand why you earned the spirit’s recognition."

Wu Xiaode also fell silent for a moment.

"...I’ll take that as a compliment from Master."

In the end, he stated, unfazed.
