Power flooded through Huang Lu's muscles, as he leapt forward.

[You've reached 23,000 Heavenly Qi and reached the peak of the 4th realm]

He was now at equal power with the Nether Demon, and his fists landed on the thick hide of the demon. His fists made a shockwave and a small explosion when it smashed into the hide, but the demon took the punch like it didn't feel a thing.

There was a half star mark on it's forehead, and it attempted to ram itself through Huang Lu's skin.

"We need to help Huang Lu" Toh Gen shouted. "But we can't get near!"

Three large flying swords appeared from Xue Xinling's spatial pouch, and she channelled her Qi into them. "Starry Swords!" The three flying swords flew ahead and slammed into the Nether Demon's head. It attempted to cut, but the gap in cultivation was too big. Her attacks didn't do anything, other than annoy the demon.

Both Toh Gen and Zhan Yuanfang got into formation, and they did some kind of combination move. The winds of the Town swirled, and condensed into an arrow made of wind Qi. The huge arrow flew towards the Nether Beast and slammed into its body, but left just a small scratch.

Huang Lu's [piercing thrust] slammed into the side of the demon, and it roared in pain. He needed more power.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

More. Fucking. Power.

His muscles bulged, and he felt heavenly Qi gather in his muscles and blood vessels. They bulged. And Glowed.

He punched again, another [Piercing Thrust]

It slammed into the beast and it staggered sideways. It grabbed Huang Lu with it's long black limbs, and scratched. His skin bled. It hurt. The beast's long black tail slammed into a house and destroyed it, and the house around it.

They were fighting right in the town, and houses were getting destroyed! His muscles grew, and he roared. Huang Lu charged, and with his [Body of the Descendants of Virtue], he wrestled the beast.

Wrestling was something he knew how to do naturally, and it was further augmented by his cultivation method.

He lifted the vaguely humanoid nether beast by the arms, and slammed it on the ground. The demon attempted to bite him, but his arms bulged, and the oil on his skin glowed. He locked his arm around the neck of the nether beast.

But the nether beast's claws scratched Huang Lu's gorgeous body a few more times, and blood mixed with oil. Yet the claws never got too deep.

He slammed the Half-Star Nether Demon down on the ground, and yet, the tail of the Half-Star demon whipped Huang Lu's back and made a huge cut. It bled.

Huang Lu felt pain. It hurt!

They traded punches and scratches, and Huang Lu's black-gold body was covered in cuts, and just as his punches caused the demon beast pain. He had a small edge, and he slammed the nether demon in the head with his [piercing thrust]. It smashed and the head exploded. The nether demon was defeated!

And yet, it was not the end.

"I commend you for resisting us! But we are inevitable." A man in a half-star robe floated in the sky. He was a 5th realmer! He swooshed, and a black half star slammed right into Huang Lu's chests.

He was already battered from the nether demon, and the black half star exploded.

Huang Lu flew and slammed into a wall.
