Chapter 74: Chapter 74 A Good Show

"The match begins!"

As the referee’s shout boomed, Tang Long’s Qi-Blood suddenly erupted.

Boom!

Like a prehistoric beast awakening, terrifying Qi-Blood swept across the arena, even impacting the spectators in the front rows as its range continued to spread.

"This range of Qi-Blood? Tang Long... has gotten stronger!" Xue Daoren’s expression shook.

"Not only that, but his Qi-Blood is extraordinarily condensed, almost taking physical form..." Yang Kaisan’s eyes narrowed, seemingly seeing the blood-red tides expanding in the void, "Hua Wu is in danger!"

"Thirteen Wandering Dragon Fist!"

Tang Long bellowed, his right hand seemingly forming a dragon’s head out of Qi-Blood and smashing down ferociously.

Crackling!

His joints exploded with sound, and his body seemed to stretch taller by two full heads, muscles bulging, transforming him into a demon-like giant.

The thirteen fist shadows he pounded out with his iron fists would turn any Martial Artist in the world into a meat patty in an instant!

In that moment, even Tie Zhongtian’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

He realized that when Tang Long had fought with him, he hadn’t used his full strength at all!

Otherwise, he feared he would have been beaten to death in just three punches!

Thud!

It was like waves crashing against rocks.

The thirteen blood dragon tides were blocked by Zhong Shenxiu’s upright palms.

From his palms, a wall of True Qi spread out, forming a three-foot absolute domain around him, covering his entire body like a Golden Bell Shield.

"Good, come again!"

Tang Long’s strike had not achieved its goal, and rather than diminishing, his momentum and Qi-Blood erupted again, climbing to even greater heights.

He let out a long howl, with every inch of his body seemingly becoming a divine weapon, ceaselessly hammering the turtle-shell-like Qi wall.

Ordinary Innate True Qi would have collapsed long ago.

But alas... Zhong Shenxiu cheated by using Mana...

With just a hint of Mana dilution, it could last a long time.

Boom! Boom!

A thousand punches! Two thousand punches!

The stage couldn’t withstand such force, cracking inch by inch, stones flying and injuring people, forcing the organizers to evacuate the nearby spectators and deploy shield-bearing Martial Artists for protection.

Boom!

Boom!

None of the audience left their seats, they all stared dumbfounded at the frenzied figure in the arena, and the rock-solid Qi wall, with one thought in mind, "Are these two still human?"

"Impossible!"

Tang Long, the Heavenly Pride, had his Qi-Blood erupt nine times in a short period.

But he was still human, after all. After reaching his limit, his breath became disordered, and as he watched the Qi wall, which was fast recovering albeit unevenly, he roared, "I don’t believe it!"

"You... deserve to die."

Zhong Shenxiu saw that Tang Long’s expression had begun to turn wild and with floating steps moved forward, placing a palm strike before Tang Long.

Tang Long subconsciously blocked it and easily caught the blow. As he was just about to be surprised, he saw Zhong Shenxiu retreating rapidly and couldn’t help but shout, "What are you doing?"

He felt it, an uncomfortable aura, flowing into his body along his arms.

"Nothing much, just need you to perform in a play."

A smile curled on Zhong Shenxiu’s lips.

What he had just sent out was naturally a Daoist Skill, and it was an Illusory Mirage!

...

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a spectator outside the arena screamed.

"Look!"

Everyone pointed at Tang Long with horrified expressions on their faces.

They saw Tang Long’s expression become fierce, and suddenly, a layer of black scales appeared on his chest!

These were real scales!

If it were just Qi-Blood or True Qi, that could still be understood within the human realm.

But scales growing on flesh - what was that? A monster? A demon!

"Could it be!"

Outside the arena, Yang Kaisan and the other Martial Artists thought of a possibility, looking at each other incredulously, "Heavenly Demon... parasitism?!"

"Impossible!"

Tang Minggao was almost scared to pee, "A’Dragon has a check-up every year, how could he possibly be possessed by the Heavenly Demon?"

Heehee!

Jiejie!

Wisps of black energy started emanating from Tang Long’s body.

A single horn grew out of his head, and the scales seemed to overflow with evil, his eyes turning blood red, "To force me to reveal my true form, humans, you are quite strong!"

...

In reality, at this moment, Tang Long was still puzzled about why the atmosphere outside of the arena felt wrong, and he questioned what Zhong Shenxiu was doing.

The illusion changed, the mirage, all of it was an illusion!

Before this, Zhong Shenxiu had used his spell, in front of everyone, to frame Tang Long heavily, or rather, to change his skin.

Even the language was directed by Zhong Shenxiu.

The voice that came from Tang Long could only be heard by himself; by the time it reached the outside world, it had already changed.

Of course, if it were just a simple illusion, then it could deceive the human eye but not cameras and other equipment.

Therefore, Zhong Shenxiu cast mana to cause Tang Long’s physical body to genuinely begin mutating, which had no contamination or power and would disappear after a while, but it was enough to be shocking!

"My... my hand, what’s happening to it?"

Tang Long looked at his mutating body and screamed in horror.

To the outside world, however, they heard a different voice, "Jiejie... We, the Heavenly Demons, have always tried to invade this perfect world... I am one of the commanding Heavenly Demons, the supreme Heart Demon, formless and intangible, my consciousness everlasting. As long as there is resentment in the human heart, I can survive... Martial Artist Association, you cannot protect this world, because I have come!"

"The Heavenly Demon... has always been invading this world?"

"The Martial Artists, fighting against the Heavenly Demon?"

The spectators were going crazy.

They had just bought tickets to watch a martial arts match, how did they end up with such a bombshell?

"The Heavenly Demon, the Martial Artists?"

Uncle Niu, however, listened with a tearful look, "So... this is the truth? Xiao Niu... why did you hide this from me?"

...

At this moment, the whole world heard Tang Long’s declaration, "Fear, resent, this world will definitely belong to the Heavenly Demons!"

Tat-tat!

Just then, a multitude of footsteps could be heard from outside the arena.

All Martial Artists’ phones rang out, "Star Alliance’s highest order, execute Tang Long immediately, evacuate the crowds..."

"A Heart Demon has taken possession, a pure consciousness entity; current instruments simply can’t detect it."

Yang Kaisan thought of more, his forehead covered in cold sweat, no longer trusting the Martial Artists around him.

"What do we do? Could humanity really be facing extinction?"

Xue Daoren also considered this, his forehead full of sweat.

"No! I believe that humanity will not go extinct! The losers are you, Heavenly Demons!"

In the arena, Zhong Shenxiu seemed to be bolstered by the faith of all the world’s people and suddenly... erupted with power!

He was like a warrior challenging the Demon King, filled with boundless passion and hope as he charged straight at the Great Demon King.

"White Bone Grappling Hand!"

Having directed this whole play, having exploded the Heavenly Demon in front of the global audience and after dumping such a huge bucket of dirty water on Tang Long’s head, naturally, the next step was to serve the packed lunch, time for the actor to exit the stage.

He grabbed Tang Long’s arm and flung him high into the air.

Tang Long could only feel a powerful force locking down his Qi-Blood, unable to move at all in midair, thinking, "So strong! Was he pretending all this time?"

"White Bone Strangulation!"

Zhong Shenxiu caught up with Tang Long in midair, his hands flying, breaking his limbs, before grabbing his neck, twisting it around, and slamming him into the ground.

Boom!

A huge crater appeared on the ground, within it a dead man.

But to everyone else’s eyes, wisps of black energy continuously spread, emanating from the corpse, forming a fierce skull, "The Heart Demon doesn’t die! Immortal forever!"

"Quick, incendiary bombs!"

Zhong Shenxiu retreated explosively, shouting loudly.

Boom-boom-boom!

It was then that the emergency armed personnel who had rushed over seemed to wake up from a dream and dumped a pile of bombs on top of the crater.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the crater became pitch black.

The original illusion of the Heavenly Demon also disappeared.

"Is this... did we kill it?"

Yang Kaisan rubbed his eyes.

"Hua Wu... to even defeat the Heart Demon, truly amazing."

"The strongest Martial Artist indeed."

"He’s practically the man who saved the world!!"
