Only he himself knew the true power of that last strike; even a Late Stage of Qi Transformation expert could be easily killed by it.

A mere young boy had actually shattered it in mid-air.

"You, boy, how... how did you do it?"

He looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with a mix of surprise and doubt. Zhang Xiaoshan's sudden appearance today had disrupted his original plans, turning a simple task into a complicated one, and revealing astonishing strength that gave him chills.

Even now, having displayed his demigod power, Zhang Xiaoshan still managed to deflect it. This already made Feng Tiangang's heart waver slightly; could Zhang Xiaoshan be his nemesis?

"No..."

In the next moment, Feng Tiangang suddenly snapped back to reality, steadied his heart and scolded,

"Today, no one, absolutely no one, can ruin my plans. Boy, even if you have extraordinary talent, even if you have an invincible master, I possess demigod strength. I, I must kill you today."

"Demigod?"

Zhang Xiaoshan let out a cold chuckle.

"Do you really think you're the only demigod here?"

"Otherwise, could it be..."

Feng Tiangang was about to mock Zhang Xiaoshan when, suddenly,

"Boom!"

A tremendously powerful aura erupted from Zhang Xiaoshan.

And a chest of flames.

The flames seemed both real and unreal.

Indistinguishable between reality and illusion.

But the temperature was real.

"So hot, so hot."

"Back off, back off..."

All the people in the small square retreated, backing off hundreds of feet, retreating to the edge of the plaza.

"What, what is that?"

The crowd fixed their eyes on the site.

One by one, their expressions looked as if they've seen a ghost.

In the center surrounding Zhang Xiaoshan, red flames burned dozens of feet around him.

An ocean of fire.

Zhang Xiaoshan stood in the middle of the sea of flames.

Facing Feng Tiangang, eye to eye.

The black energy emanating from Feng Tiangang vanished upon contact with the flames.

Even Feng Tiangang's body was being scorched by the flames.

The flames seemed illusory, yet possessed immense power.

Even though everyone had retreated to a hundred feet away, they dared not look directly at Zhang Xiaoshan.

Everyone felt an urge to kneel and submit.

As if that young lad was a deity.

Inspiring a yearning to worship.

"Is that Divine Power?"

"Stronger than Master Feng's Divine Power, is he also in the God Realm?"

"He's not at Late Stage of Qi Transformation, but in the God Realm?"

"Truly in the God Realm?"

People began to fear uncontrollably, screaming instinctively.

Hu Lie and his daughter were also stunned.

"God, God Realm?"

"This boy is actually in the God Realm? How, how old is he, how is this possible?" Hu Meizi's beautiful eyes were filled with incredulity.

Hu Lie murmured.

"Inconceivable, achieving the God Realm before the age of thirty; he must be the unprecedented first in five hundred years, astonishing, truly astonishing."

"Truly, truly a prodigious talent. I thought I already valued him highly enough, never imagined I was still short-sighted, a mere frog at the bottom of a well."

"No, no..."

The most shocked by all this, of course, was Feng Tiangang.

A fool could sense that Zhang Xiaoshan's Divine Power was many times stronger than his. The impact on him was substantial.

Especially Zhang Xiaoshan's pure yang Divine Flame suppressing his evil black energy.

Even before they engaged, he was already at a disadvantage.

"Feng Tiangang, today you will die by my hand, do you believe it?"

Zhang Xiaoshan calmly stared at Feng Tiangang.

His eyes as emotionless as still water, for in them, Feng Tiangang was already a dead man.

"You brat, I don't believe it, I don't believe it, you must be using some illusion or have boosted your cultivation with some secret technique, it can't last."

"Watch me unmask your trickery."

"Black Cloud Tornado."

Feng Tiangang opened his mouth and spat.

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, countless black auras burst from him, forming a tornado.

"Die, die you."

With a raise of his hand, the black tornado storm rushed towards Zhang Xiaoshan.

Like a spinning drill, it targeted Zhang Xiaoshan's heart.

"Overestimating yourself."

Zhang Xiaoshan let out a snide laugh.

Raised his right hand.

A massive flaming sword formed.

"Slash"

With a single swing.

"Rip..."

The swirling black tornado was cleaved in two, dispersing instantly.

"Step, step, step..."

Feng Tiangang staggered backward several steps.

"Black Cloud Hand."

"Black Cloud Chain."

...

Feng Tiangang deployed numerous tactics, all were neutralized by Zhang Xiaoshan one by one.

Zhang Xiaoshan was using Feng Tiangang to experience insights of the God Realm.

Now, having reached the Demigod Peak, he was only a breath away from truly achieving the God Realm; an opponent like Feng Tiangang, a demigod strongman, served as a rare whetstone.

"Brat, I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I'll show you my true abilities."

Feng Tiangang originally intended to deplete Zhang Xiaoshan's True Qi, but as time passed, Zhang Xiaoshan fought with increasing vigor, while he himself was suffering severe True Qi depletion. Continuing was extremely disadvantageous.

"Black Corpse General."

His body expanded again.

In the blink of an eye, he became over three meters tall, massive like a bull, his hair completely fallen off, face covered with festering sores, many places revealing white bones, with numerous black scales growing on his body's surface, like a suit of armor, appearing neither human nor ghost.

"Ah, is this some ghostly general of the underworld?"

"Terrifying..."

"What wicked cultivation has Master Feng practiced to end up like this."

"So ugly, so ugly..."

The people recoiled in revulsion.

"Damn, damn..."

Seeing this, Feng Tiangang's anger flared even more.

His evil gaze fixed on Zhang Xiaoshan.

"You scoundrel, you've pushed me to this point, watch me tear you apart."

He lunged at Zhang Xiaoshan.

One large, one small, they battled together.
