Tu Xiao’an hated when people looked at him like that, although he often used that sa gaze on the creatures he wanted to subjugate.
It was only now that he realized just how infuriating that look truly was.
An old monster was an old monster, after all. He had unnaturally rejuvenated into the form of a child, and neither Fla nor Thunder had the slightest effect on him—he practically ignored them.
This deeply wounded Tu Xiao’an’s pride. It wasn’t that his Elental Attribute Power was too weak, but that his opponent’s Level and strength were far too high.
The two of them were simply not on the sa level.
At this mont, power continuously flowed from the old monster’s hand on his shoulder. Tu Xiao’an’s illusory human form began to break down rapidly: 90%, 80%, 70%, 50%...
In less than a minute, he would be forced back into his true form.
Tu Xiao’an hurriedly circulated Du Tianyi’s Gold Elental Attribute Power. A golden light blood across his body, gradually solidifying until he had Copper Skin and Iron Bones.
The reinforcent from the Gold Elent barely managed to hold his crumbling human form together.
The old monster’s face twitched when he felt Tu Xiao’an’s Gold Elent. Back at the Demon Prison, it was because he had sensed Du Tianyi’s Gold Elent that he had dismissed his suspicions, allowing him to be deceived right under his nose.
No creature had ever escaped from the Demon Managent Bureau’s prisons, let alone been brazenly led away by soone in broad daylight.
If word of such a blatant slap in the face got out, the Wencheng Administration Bureau would beco the laughingstock of the other cities.
"Did you acquire all your Elental Abilities this way?" the old monster asked in a low voice. He finally understood the Snake Spirit’s motive for killing Du Tianyi.
’Stealing the Elental Power of others... this Snake Spirit is truly twisted. If a Demon like this were to achieve enlightennt, it would bring about a catastrophe for heaven and earth.’
"Co with obediently. No matter how many types of Elental Power you possess, it’s all useless."
Tu Xiao’an said coldly, "Go back with you? To be sentenced?"
"If you are willing to surrender to the Demon Managent Bureau and work for humanity, perhaps I can make an exception and spare your life." A glint of cunning flashed in the old monster’s eyes.
’I was human to begin with, and I’d never do anything to harm other humans.’
Of course, this was Tu Xiao’an’s greatest secret, one he could never tell anyone.
Going with this monster to the Demon Managent Bureau was out of the question. Tu Xiao’an racked his brain for a way to escape, but he couldn’t even break free from the hand on his shoulder.
"It seems you’re not smart enough to recognize the situation. You insist on learning things the hard way," the old monster sneered.
The hand suddenly and effortlessly lifted Tu Xiao’an, raising him overhead before smashing him into the ground. Alard, Tu Xiao’an quickly curled up in mid-air—tucking his head, contracting his stomach, and bending his legs to protect his vital points and minimize the damage.
BOOM—
With that heavy slam, the golden light on Tu Xiao’an’s body flared, its defensive power astonishing.
Without the Golden Elent Body Protection, his human form would have ceased to exist.
"Let’s see just how much of Xiaodu’s Gold Elent power you can actually use."
The old monster clicked his tongue and laughed, once again viciously hoisting Tu Xiao’an up and slamming him hard onto the ground. He did this a dozen more tis. BAM! BAM! BAM!
A hole had already ford in the grand hall’s floor. Tu Xiao’an was smashed from the second floor down to the first, and then driven deep enough to carve a small crater into the ground floor. He was beaten black and blue, dizzy and disoriented, his heart filled with imnse frustration.
His opponent didn’t seem to be using any powerful techniques, yet he could effortlessly manhandle him.
And for the mont, there was nothing he could do about it.
BOOM...
With one final slam, the ground buckled deeply. The old monster then casually followed up with a palm strike. It seed random, but the ground suddenly began to tremble violently. Then, with a deafening CRASH, the entire villa collapsed, instantly turning into a pile of rubble.
The direction of the collapse was also very strange; it fell outward, leaving the old monster completely untouched by the debris.
"So, are you ready to co back with obediently now?" The old monster looked down at the deep crater—his handiwork—only to see not a human figure, but a Purple Gold Snake lying within.
"Old monster, don’t push your luck! Do you really think I’m just here for you to slaughter?" His human form had collapsed. Even with the Golden Elent Body Protection, it couldn’t withstand such brutal treatnt.
Tu Xiao’an reverted to his true form. The brilliantly gleaming Purple Gold Snake slowly levitated upward.
The old monster looked at this incomparable Snake Species and cackled. "A re little snake. I really don’t know who gave you the courage to provoke the Demon Managent Bureau. You must be tired of living."
"The Demon Managent Bureau is nothing! This Snake King has never given it a second thought!"
Flas erupted from Tu Xiao’an’s serpentine body as he roared, "Burn everything to the ground!"
FWOOSH—
In an instant, the old monster was engulfed in a Sea of Fire. The temperature was terrifyingly high, enough to lt a block of steel in a mont.
"I told you, your Fla is not powerful enough. You’d better save your energy."
A blue radiance blood from the old monster’s body. With a sinister smile on his face, he walked out of the Sea of Fire with ease, completely unscathed.
’Looks like I really should save my strength,’ Tu Xiao’an thought bitterly. ’My Elental Abilities are completely useless.’
’Run...’
With no other choice, Tu Xiao’an shot forward, transforming into a streak of purple-gold light that rocketed away in one direction.
In one second, he was a hundred ters away.
But it was only for a second. The Purple Gold Snake ca to a hovering stop. The old monster, a sinister smile on his face, was already standing in his path, waiting.
"I told you to save your energy. Just co with . Or do you want to suffer so more?" The old monster’s face held the mocking expression of the Tathagata watching Sun Wukong try to escape his palm.
’Goddammit,’ Tu Xiao’an cursed internally. ’This is so fucked. This guy is just way too strong.’
He was far more powerful than the Snake Demon from the Bai Family who had reached the Pseudo Demon King Level.
Fighting was impossible, and so was fleeing. The opponent’s speed was practically the speed of light; the mont Tu Xiao’an tried to run, the old monster would appear directly in front of him.
Suddenly, Tu Xiao’an’s deanor changed. He relaxed. ’If he’s so determined to stop from leaving, then I won’t leave. What’s there to be afraid of? I still have an ultimate trump card up my sleeve. Looks like I’ll have to use it early. The director of the Demon Managent Bureau... a man who controls the entire city... a true local Emperor. If I can turn an expert this powerful into a War Servant, wouldn’t I effectively control this entire city?’
At this thought, everything beca clear, and he felt as if a pie had just fallen from the sky.
’This isn’t a crisis. It’s an opportunity.’
"I don’t want to go with you, and I don’t want to be tortured. I believe there’s a third option." After his realization, Tu Xiao’an’s Snake Gaze burst forth with astonishing brilliance.
Seeing this, the old monster’s brow tightened. He said faintly, "It seems you have so life-saving trick up your sleeve that’s made you so fearless all of a sudden."
"Whatever it is, go ahead and use it. I’ll give you the chance."
