Quickly, Leo’s blows had deformed Demon Night’s head, blood splattering.
Even so, Demon Night seemed unfazed, his eyes bloodshot, and that eerie, beastly aura growing stronger.
Demon Night’s attack speed increased, and eventually, Leo couldn’t target his head anymore.
This guy was just too twisted, getting stronger with every blow!
Just as Leo hesitated, Demon Night’s eyes glowed blood-red, his fingers gleaming with cold light as he ruthlessly struck at Leo’s head.
Leo had to use the steel pipe in his hand to block.
“Clang!” The steel pipe used for blocking was split in two by Demon Night’s nails!
Leo lessened his force, shifted his body slightly, and kicked Demon Night in the abdomen.
Demon Night wasn’t sent flying but staggered back five or six steps.
Using the backward force from the kick, Leo somersaulted backward, putting three or four meters of distance between himself and Demon Night.
Leo knew he couldn’t continue to face this crazy guy; otherwise, he might end up getting hurt.
With his right hand, he pulled out a talisman from his body.
The injuries on Demon Night’s head had already healed. When he saw the yellow paper in Leo’s hand, he couldn’t help but mock, “The yellow paper in your hand, if I’m not mistaken, should be called a talisman, right? You think you can hurt me with this nonsense?”
Leo responded coldly, “Is that so? Well, then, enjoy it.”
Activating his Spiritual Power, he deployed the talisman.
“Little Thunder Talisman, unleash!”
The talisman in Leo’s hand instantly burned and vanished. The next second, a lightning bolt streaked through the air above Demon Night’s head.
Demon Night tried to dodge, but it was too late.
“Boom!”
The lightning struck Demon Night heavily.
After a pitiful scream, Demon Night’s body was lifted into the air by the explosion created by the lightning and then crashed heavily back to the ground.
Amid the swirling dust, Demon Night’s golden hair had turned into a mass of charred black.
Under this heavy blow, Demon Night’s facial features contorted.
“Martial artist, you have successfully provoked me!” Demon Night slowly got up from the ground, his expression extremely malevolent.
Leo was somewhat surprised. He initially thought the Little Thunder Talisman would be enough to deal with this crazy guy.
But it seemed like this lunatic hadn’t been seriously harmed.
“Let me tear you apart!” Demon Night’s throat let out a beastly roar.
Then, Demon Night’s small suit began to tear, and his body rapidly expanded!
In just a few breaths, explosive muscles covered Demon Night’s entire body, and his height rapidly reached three meters!
Black and rigid hair burst out of Demon Night’s skin pores. At a glance, it was clear that Demon Night’s handsome face had completely transformed. Instead of a human head, he now had a wolf’s head!
“Hoo…”
Demon Night opened his wolf-like mouth and let out a horrifying wolf howl.
“I can’t believe it, it’s actually a werewolf from legends!” Leo’s pupils couldn’t help but shrink, his face filled with astonishment.
Leo also knew a bit about the legends of Western werewolves.
In the midst of a medieval European plague outbreak, where people were dying left and right, two brothers suffered bites. One was bitten by a virus-infected bat, and the other by a virus-infected wolf.
Due to the virus infection, the brothers underwent genetic mutations. One became the progenitor of vampires, while the other became the progenitor of werewolves.
Vampires and werewolves both possessed long and enduring lives. Vampires had a penchant for fresh blood, whereas in their wolfish state, werewolves turned savage, with their strength, speed, and defenses multiplying several times over. They delighted in devouring fresh flesh and blood.
“Since werewolves exist, it’s quite likely that vampires do too,” Leo’s gaze narrowed as he mumbled.
In the world, there were martial practitioners, and also werewolves and vampires. This world was indeed not as simple as it seemed.
“Poor, you’ve angered me, and now I’ve completed my transformation. Kneel before me and tremble!” Demon Night’s eerie laughter carried an uncontrollable ferocity. His body stood upright, wolf claws exposed, razor-sharp.
“Whoosh!”
Demon Night’s two feet pushed off the ground, and in a flash, the towering wolf figure arrived before Leo. His enormous, razor-sharp wolf claws struck at Leo’s head.
“So fast!” Leo’s eyes narrowed; it was too late to dodge.
“Diamond Seal, protect!”
Amidst a burst of electric and fiery light, Leo had no choice but to summon a defensive Diamond Seal. A faint golden membrane instantly appeared in front of Leo.
“Bang!”
The wolf claws fiercely pounded on the faint golden shield.
“Hmm!”
The faint golden shield emitted a buzzing sound, and intense vibrations created ripples, showing signs of impending rupture.
But ultimately, the faint golden shield did not shatter. However, a small portion of the wolf claws’ tremendous force managed to penetrate the shield’s defenses, striking Leo.
“Thud!”
After a muffled sound, Leo’s body was sent flying backward, landing steadily some five to six meters away.
Rubbing his aching chest, Leo was astounded. This werewolf’s strength was overwhelming.
“Your defense is impressive, but you’ll still meet your end at my hands!” Demon Night’s elongated fangs were revealed, his eyes bloodshot. He let out a cold laugh and, with a swift leap, clenched his claws into fists and struck at Leo.
Leo didn’t dare to confront it head-on and had to use his Spiritual Power to dodge.
“Boom!”
Demon Night’s punch struck the wall behind Leo with a bang. A massive hole appeared in the wall, and bricks and dirt scattered around.
This werewolf was the first formidable adversary Leo had encountered. He couldn’t be overconfident. Leo drew the hilt of the Blue Phantom Sword from his body and ejected the blade.
Demon Night let out a strange howl and once again clenched his fist, aiming a punch at Leo. Even his fist generated a small sonic boom.
In the nick of time, Leo leaped upward, evading Demon Night’s punch. Then, with a swift swing of the sharp Blue Phantom Sword, he aimed for Demon Night’s left shoulder.
“Rip…”
The steel-like Blue Phantom Sword didn’t sever Demon Night’s left hand but merely cut his left shoulder’s skin.
Blood gushed from Demon Night’s shoulder, but the wound quickly healed before the naked eye.
With a pained roar, Demon Night, driven by rage, turned back to attack Leo with a powerful punch.
“Clang!”
In a moment of desperation, Leo could only block with the Blue Phantom Sword. Demon Night’s punch hit the Blue Phantom Sword heavily, and Leo took advantage of the impact to step back, increasing the distance between them once again.
“Shadows of Enchantment, protect!”
Leo formed a hand seal with his left hand and tapped the Blue Phantom Sword, causing it to split into dozens of smaller Blue Phantom Swords right in front of him.
“Go!”
With a wave of his right hand, the sword rain formed by the Blue Phantom Swords shot toward the towering and fearsome Demon Night at incredible speed.
