Despite everything being developing in a positive direction, Wang Zheng never expected that the energy ball spat out by the demonic shadow would miss him, despite his careful planning.
However, the strong air currents rolled in, and the surging winds and clouds still managed to disperse the clouds and mist in this area of the airspace far away.
Wang Zheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the crimson cloud and sneaking around the demonic shadow, finally appeared before everyone for the first time after being forced to reveal his whereabouts.
Wang Zheng, who had just dodged the Shadow Ball attack, was still cursing the stupidity of the demonic shadow in his heart.
But to his surprise, the clouds he had been hiding in were blown away, leaving him standing dumbfounded in the air, completely exposed to the other party.
Sensing the aura he loathed most—a collective consciousness of humans, demons, and chaotic energy—he knew perfectly well that the boy sitting on the cloud had been secretly plotting against him.
As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet.
Even ignoring the fact that Wang Zheng had been harassing him relentlessly since the start of the battle, the aura of holy light that the demon loathed was enough to make the demon's eyes turn red.
The demonic shadow unleashed its full power, its spherical body shrinking once more as it spewed out billowing demonic smoke and surged toward Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng remained completely unfazed by the extremely dispersed yet overwhelming demonic mist.
However, when he saw a flaming arrow hurtling towards him from below, trying to help him out of his predicament, he instead manipulated the crimson cloud to drift backward a short distance.
It wasn't that he was afraid the lieutenant colonel from the military region would accidentally hurt him; he was quite confident in his own defensive capabilities.
Rather, he feared that if he accidentally came into contact with the flames, and the effect of Heart of Thorns activated, it might burn the lieutenant colonel who was helping him, which would backfire...
No sooner said than done, the billowing demonic mist, carrying an eerie aura, transformed into a gigantic hand in mid-air. However, before the hand could even extend, the previously launched arrow was already upon it, then rapidly expanded, transforming into a giant fiery bird that crashed into it.
"boom--"
With a deafening explosion, the entire sky seemed to be ablaze as flames collided with the demonic mist.
Then the giant bird formed from flames was torn apart by the giant hand, and then quickly extinguished by the mist with a hissing sound.
Although much of the black mist had also dissolved and could no longer condense into the giant hand, it did not disappear. Instead, it continued to lunge menacingly towards Wang Zheng's location.
Wang Zheng squinted at the black mist, which was at least 50% thinner than before, and almost burst out laughing.
"With such power, who do you think you are!"
They won't run away; they can only maintain their existence by casting a few holy lights.
However, it's only fair to take advantage of the free spiritual energy limit.
Wang Zheng had long seen that the demonic shadow was only at its last gasp. Although it was different from human awakeners, he couldn't scan out any specific information.
However, after wasting all the energy in its body, the demonic shadow had not absorbed any spiritual energy to recover for a long time. Even if it appeared fierce, it was only outwardly strong but inwardly weak, and it was just putting on a brave front.
To be fair, Wang Zheng's scanning this time was unnecessary; he was just being overly cautious.
In fact, one only needs to look at the dim and lifeless appearance of the demonic figure to understand its condition.
Moreover, Wang Zheng was already very familiar with the attack methods of this demon god phantom. Apart from the Heavenly Demon's usual method of using black mist to devour, there were only two other attack methods: the pitch-black energy beam and the weakened version of the energy ball.
Moreover, because the demonic shadow had shrunk its size to avoid further damage from the holy light, its round body and small arms and legs posed no threat to Wang Zheng whatsoever.
If he dared to attack Wang Zheng in close combat, Wang Zheng would be more than happy to do so, and would send the Holy Light Vortex directly to him so that he would know what a washing machine is.
As the celestial Dharma image drew ever closer in the distance, Wang Zheng had a clear idea of what was going on. With a wave of his hand, he shot out dozens of beams of holy light at the oncoming black mist, easily shattering it.
Instantly, the upper limit of spiritual energy in his data panel increased by more than a thousand.
Wang Zheng shook his head at the pitiful number, almost telling the lieutenant colonel who had already circled to the other side to stop and leave the rest to him.
However, in order to successfully take down this demonic figure, Wang Zheng decided to play it safe for a bit longer. After all, this black mist was just a small part; as long as he landed the final blow, he would definitely make a profit...
At this moment, the demonic shadow, who was fighting two opponents in the distance and also dodging attacks thrown by other awakened beings below, seemed to know that he was not going to get away with it today.
Although he lacked a clear mind, he still possessed the most basic instinct to judge danger.
Knowing he didn't have much energy left, he decided to go all in, at least to crush that disgusting little bug in the distance.
Without further hesitation, he concentrated all the energy in his body, even compressing the black mist surrounding his body to the mouth of Sun Hu, who had already revealed himself.
Only a shrunken, blood-red eyeball remained between "Sun Hu's" brows, staring intently at Wang Zheng in the distance, as if wanting to witness Wang Zheng's death with his own eyes...
