The two demon monster beasts were in a dire situation. Monster King Duan-Jian alone was already hard enough for them to handle, but now there was a young human who had easily dealt with the Azure-Cloud Bird demon monster beast. To make matters worse, this youngster was now eyeing them with a strange expression.

"We need to split up. You, Bat, take on that human, and I'll deal with this monster. We must find an opportunity to make them retreat. Then we can flee and join the other demon monster beasts!" The Sword-Haired Tiger quickly devised an escape plan and spoke to the Cruel Bat, who was still in shock.

"Ah! Good idea, but you'd better switch with me. I don't think I can handle that human as well as you. I'll deal with the other one instead," the Cruel Bat agreed but proposed changing opponents with the Sword-Haired Tiger.

"No!!! I think it's better if I deal with this one. You can fly, so you'd better take on that one!" the Sword-Haired Tiger refused because it had no confidence in fighting Zheng-Fu and preferred to face Monster King Duan-Jian, with whom they had already clashed.

Huh!

"All right, I'll deal with the human. But when I shake him off, I'm leaving immediately without waiting for you!" The Cruel Bat accepted the decision. If they kept arguing, both of them would die, as Zheng-Fu was closing in on them quickly.

"Why are you arguing? Both of you can come to me at the same time. I know you two are even worse than that legless bird without wings!" Zheng-Fu's sharp hearing picked up their conversation, and he couldn't help but smile as he interrupted them with mocking words.

"You!!!"

Huh!

"Don't think we're as foolish as those two idiots who rushed to their deaths after being provoked. We may be weaker than the Azure-Cloud Bird, but we're not that easy to handle!" the Cruel Bat replied coldly.

Mhm!

"That's right. It won't be easy to cut you up and cook you, but I'll manage to slice off a bit!" Zheng-Fu taunted them further as he continued advancing toward the Cruel Bat.

Huh!

"It won't work, you arrogant human! Now, it's time for you to die!"

[Spirit-Breaking Sound Wave]

Quaaaaack!!!

The Cruel Bat knew it needed to act, so it unleashed its powerful sound wave attack, which could cause intense tinnitus and even deafness. Worse, the sound waves also targeted the hearer's soul.

"Sigh! Just some pathetic sound energy. Do you really think you can compete with my sound waves?" Zheng-Fu said, unfazed, for he had mastered a sound wave skill from his previous world.

[Roaring Lion Skill]

Roaaar!!!

The sound wave from the Roaring Lion skill was one that Zheng-Fu had learned from his previous world. However, it wouldn't be accurate to say he "learned" it; rather, he had memorized it. He then adapted it to his own energy waves, allowing him to emit a sound filled with destructive power. This sound wave was both powerful and had a high level of destructive energy aimed at the mind.

"No!!! It's impossible! My sound waves should be invincible!" The Cruel Bat's eyes filled with disbelief. It hadn't expected Zheng-Fu to possess a sound wave skill of his own.

Zheng-Fu's Roaring Lion Sound Wave completely nullified the Cruel Bat's Spirit-Breaking Sound Wave, even leaving the bat slightly dazed by its own attack.

"Huh! What do you think? My sound wave technique rattled you, didn't it?" Zheng-Fu boasted proudly. This was his first time using the Roaring Lion skill, and the results had far exceeded his expectations, making him feel ecstatic.

"Foolish! Do you think you've won just because you resisted my Spirit-Breaking Sound Wave? It won't be that easy!" The Cruel Bat continued to force itself not to show any signs of fear. It still pretended to be brave because its sound wave skill was considered its last card. However, when this final card failed to affect the opponent, how could it possibly feel good?

"Oh, really? Then hurry up and show me your true power!" How could Zheng-Fu not know that the Cruel Bat had already reached its limit? He knew it couldn't display any greater power than it had already shown, yet he still played along as it wished.

"Arrogant human! Fine! If you want it, I'll give it to you!"

[Cruel Bat Claw Skill]

Zing!!!

The Cruel Bat floated up, spread its claws, and swooped toward Zheng-Fu with all its speed. Just before reaching him, it opened its mouth and unleashed the Spirit-Breaking Sound Wave once again.

[Spirit-Breaking Sound Wave]

Quuuaaaaack!!!

"Oh! That's a clever move. But it still won't be enough!" Zheng-Fu smirked, impressed by the Cruel Bat's tactics. However, it could not harm him, as a massive shadow in golden armor suddenly materialized, enveloping Zheng-Fu like a personal guardian.

[Golden Emperor Armor Body Skill]

It was Zheng-Fu's Golden Emperor Armor Body skill. After gaining a deeper understanding of Heaven Energy, the level of his body skills had improved significantly. Moreover, the characteristics of the skill had become more refined. Previously, it was just a large golden armor, but now it had evolved into a towering golden-armored warrior, standing majestically like a golden war god.

Bang!!!

Booooooom!!!

Screech!!!

The sound waves had no effect on Zheng-Fu, and even the Cruel Bat's claws couldn't penetrate the golden-armored warrior's body. In fact, the bat's own energy was reflected back at it, causing its body to be thrown backward several steps.

Augh!!!

The Cruel Bat spat out a large amount of blood, its body trembling in fear and pain. Its wings were torn to the point that it could no longer fly. Severely injured, it barely had the strength to stand.

"Wha... what... Augh! What kind of... energy... is that?" The Sword-Haired Tiger demon monster beast, locked in combat with Monster King Duan-Jian, lost focus as it witnessed the strange, powerful skill it had never seen before.

"Fighting me, but paying attention elsewhere? Huh! Now you die!" Although Monster King Duan-Jian was briefly shocked by Zheng-Fu's skill, he quickly regained his composure upon realizing who was using it. Seizing the opportunity, he swung his sword at the distracted Sword-Haired Tiger with full force.

Chop!!!

Aaaaaaargh!!!

The Sword-Haired Tiger howled as one of its arms was severed, blood gushing from the wound like water from a broken dam.

"Hah! Ma... my... my arm! My arm!!! You filthy half-blood monster! How dare you... Ouch!!!"

Chop!!!

Aaaaaaargh!!!

Before it could finish speaking, its other arm was sliced off, just like the first. The person responsible was none other than Monster King Duan-Jian. He wasted no time, exploiting the moment when the tiger had dropped its guard, leaving it completely disarmed.

The situation quickly shifted, lightening the tense atmosphere as the last two demon monster beasts were now seriously injured. Victory for the Monster Tribe was all but assured.

"Oh! His Majesty Father-in-law isn't bad either! Hmm... I probably won't find anything useful in that little tiger's brain, so I'll let His Majesty Father-in-law kill it. But I'll keep this one and that bird alive to extract the information from their minds," Zheng-Fu thought, smiling as he turned to look at Monster King Duan-Jian and the Sword-Haired Tiger. He admired his father-in-law for capitalizing on the opportunity. Originally, he had considered keeping the tiger alive, but upon realizing that it likely didn't possess the knowledge he needed, he decided to let the Monster King finish it off.

The Cruel Bat, witnessing the Sword-Haired Tiger's downfall, grew even more grim. It hadn't expected the tiger to make such a foolish mistake by dropping its guard in the middle of such a life-or-death battle. Now, with the tiger out of the fight, it was left to rely on its own strength.

Flop!!!

"Even if I die, I won't die in vain!" the Cruel Bat declared, deciding to make one final stand for the sake of its dignity. Despite the intense pain, it flapped its torn wings and lifted itself more than ten meters into the air.

"Even if I can't kill you, that doesn't mean I can't kill the others!" it said, with a victorious expression. It conjured black energy from its hands, forming two energy balls, and hurled them in different directions—one toward the royal palace, and the other toward the bunker where the people were sheltered.

Damn it!!!

As soon as everyone saw that, the faces of the skilled martial masters instantly turned pale with worry and anxiety. Both directions where the energy was released were critical locations—the royal palace and the city's shelter. To stop those two energy orbs would require the power of either Monster King Duan-Jian or Zheng-Fu, as they were the only ones capable of doing so.

However, at that moment, Monster King Duan-Jian was positioned in the opposite direction of the black energy orbs, meaning he wouldn't be able to stop them in time, no matter the direction. Zheng-Fu could stop them, but he would have to choose which one to intercept. Just as everyone was thinking of a solution, a resounding voice echoed:

"Do you think my Monster Kingdom is a playground?"

Boooooooooom!!!
