Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Ho Ho Ho!

Jiang Shi charged forward, his entire skin taut, with the Iron Stone Body’s First Realm and the Second Realm of the Red Sun Body Refining Technique fully in operation. He swept sideways with a stick, the wind howling, the power was truly astounding.

The power instantly reached 13,440 pounds.

“Roar!”

That terrifying demon beast let out a deafening roar, bloodlust in the air, and astonishingly didn’t dodge but rushed madly towards Jiang Shi again.

However, this demon beast was clearly intelligent. As it lunged forward, its eyes gleamed with cunning light, it suddenly stood upright, like it had transformed into a giant.

With a swoosh, it extended a huge claw to grab Jiang Shi’s Wolf Fang Club, while another huge claw, carrying a fierce airflow, directly ripped towards Jiang Shi’s head with a sinister grin on its face.

In its view, Jiang Shi’s power was at most on par with its own. Relying on its size advantage and its sudden upright stance, it believed it could take Jiang Shi’s blow head-on, then forcefully smash Jiang Shi to death.

This move, the opponent would absolutely not expect.

However, very quickly, its expression changed dramatically, almost in disbelief.

Before its other claw reached Jiang Shi’s forehead, Jiang Shi’s massive Wolf Fang Club, carrying a ferocious force, had already collided with its other claw.

Crack!

“Roar…”

The demon beast let out a pitiful and shrill wail, feeling as if its entire paw was smashed by an unimaginably heavy Iron Mountain.

A burst of fresh blood spurted out; its entire paw shattered on the spot, with the bones broken.

The intense pain suddenly struck, causing a deep bloodlust to appear in its pupils. Mad and terrifying, it couldn’t care less and accelerated the other claw towards Jiang Shi’s forehead.

Jiang Shi’s expression changed. After smashing one of the opponent’s claws, he quickly retreated, wielding the massive Wolf Fang Club, sweeping it once again.

Crack!

Over 13,000 pounds of power collided with the opponent’s other claw again, immediately producing a deafening roar. The airflow swept through.

Just like before.

The opponent’s claw was shattered on the spot by Jiang Shi, blood flying, instantly fracturing.

Consequently, a mighty force even sent this demon beast flying back swiftly.

Its face was filled with an eerie shock, displaying a human-like expression.

It seemed completely unimaginable that Jiang Shi had hidden his strength all along.

Moreover, this human before it was very different from the martial artists it had killed before.

This human’s power was pathetically weak.

Like itself, he relied entirely on a powerful body.

His brute force was stronger than its own?

“Roar…”

The demon beast bared its fangs and claws, its expression vicious, growling softly towards Jiang Shi, then turned and left, as fast as the wind.

As it passed through the yard, it suddenly grabbed a war horse corpse from the corner, turned back with a mocking grin at Jiang Shi, then turned and left.

It seemed to mock Jiang Shi, implying that he couldn’t even protect his own steed.

Jiang Shi’s face instantly darkened. Already holding the upper hand, seeing the taunt from this beast, carrying away his war horse’s body was even more intolerable. He lunged fast towards the demon beast, relying on the explosive power of his leg muscles, with Wolf Fang Club in hand.

“Where do you think you’re going, beast!”

He charged forward, pursuing the demon beast.

The commotion here had already startled some early-rising villagers.

Some villagers didn’t even know what had happened, only instinctively heading towards Jiang Shi to check the situation.

As soon as a few villagers approached, they saw a terrifying black wind rushing forward with a menacing aura, causing their faces to pale in shock.

In an instant, they felt as if their very souls had left their bodies.

“Ah…”

Poof, poof, poof!

Three villagers were sent flying on the spot, their corpses wretched beyond description, as if chopped by a thousand swords, blood-spattered, with viscera flying.

“Ho ho ho…”

After killing several villagers, the demon beast let out a mocking laugh, continued to tauntingly glance back at Jiang Shi, appearing to ridicule that he couldn’t even protect those beside him, then continued to dart forward.

In the distance, villagers in other directions were in panic, sensing something was wrong.

“Oh my, there’s a demon beast!”

“The demon beast is here again!”

“Everyone, run for your lives!”

···

“Everyone stay away, quickly move aside!”

Jiang Shi roared loudly, chasing all the way from afar, his heart cold and relentless.

The demon beast, seeing Jiang Shi catching up so quickly, was taken aback and sped forward in haste.

Jiang Shi’s eyes were icy, and his feet sprinted with all their might, whistling like a gale. Seeing only dozens of meters left, he suddenly grabbed several pre-prepared steel balls and hurled them fiercely towards the demon beast.

Backed by over ten thousand pounds of force, the thrown steel balls were like bullets fired from a sniper rifle.

The demon beast continued its mad rush, suddenly hearing a sharp and ear-piercing gust of wind from behind. It quickly brandished the corpse of the war horse to shield itself behind.

Poof, poof, poof, poof!

Seven or eight large steel balls shot forth, all hitting the war horse’s corpse solidly, splattering flesh and blood, leaving scars like eggs on the war horse’s body.

Massive steel balls penetrated through these war horse corpses, all striking the demon beast.

But having been diminished and buffered by the war horse’s corpse, the steel balls’ power was undeniably greatly reduced. When they hit the demon beast, they clanged, causing no pain.

“Ho ho ho…”

The demon beast let out a sharp laugh, unbearably ear-piercing, continued to glance back at Jiang Shi with ridicule.

Then it rushed towards the distant crowd with the war horse’s body raised high.

The crowd was aghast, showing terror.

“Quickly move aside!”

Jiang Shi continued to roar and continued the chase.

Poof, poof, poof!

Ah!

Another three or four villagers were casually killed by the demon beast, blood splattering, a horrible sight, their bodies flying far away.

“Ho ho ho…”

It continued to laugh mockingly as it advanced, unbearably sharp sounds, enraging those who heard.

As if flying a kite.

Jiang Shi felt both cold and furious inside, grinding his teeth in hatred.

In the past, it was just a hypothetical scenario knowing he might be kited, but now he truly experienced it in real combat.

Worse, it was a reasonably smart demon beast kiting him.

His speed, just a notch slower than this demon beast.

And this beast didn’t stop taunting, with every laugh being so sharp.

Absolutely maddening!

He pulled out a handful of steel balls from his pouch and hurled them fiercely at the demon beast again.

But just like before, some steel balls were swiftly dodged by the demon beast, others were blocked by the war horse’s corpse it swung around.

“Ho ho ho…”

It continued issuing sharp mocking sounds, full of sarcasm and ridicule.

Just as Jiang Shi darkened in thoughts, swiftly pondering a way to catch this demon beast, suddenly an unexpected change occurred ahead.

Swoosh!

A black iron arrow, carrying fierce power and emitting piercing sounds, suddenly shot heavily towards the demon beast.

The demon beast, focused on taunting Jiang Shi, never anticipated a sudden, robust arrow would fly from ahead, its expression changing; it was too late to dodge.

Poof!

“Roar…”

The entire arrow shot directly and forcefully at its chest area, causing it to roar in anger, its body flipping back and crashing hard into the distance.

Jiang Shi was also startled by this sudden change, but quickly, he grinned fiercely, seizing the opportunity, brandishing the Wolf Fang Club, rushing like a storm towards the demon beast that had flipped and flown out.

“I’ll make you ho ho ho…”
