The inner core of the Primordial Chaos shimmered with a pale pink light, flew into the air, and then exploded with a roar.
In an instant, the sky darkened and the wind and clouds changed color.
A violent wave of energy swept outwards, engulfing an area of several miles in its fury. The mountains and forests were overgrown with vegetation, trees snapped, and soil flew everywhere.
Everything around was lifted hundreds of meters into the air, forming a huge mushroom cloud.
When the wind subsided and the clouds dispersed, a circular hole suddenly appeared in the sky. As if drawn by an invisible force, the dark clouds in the entire world descended, enveloping the mountains and forests and turning the bamboo forest into a pitch-black expanse.
Wang Zheng watched helplessly as the demon core exploded, unleashing boundless power. Although he felt heartbroken, he knew there was nothing he could do.
Since he and his father failed to kill the demon king in a sneak attack immediately, Wang Zheng knew that the inner core was no longer a possibility.
Under these circumstances, the opponent is at a significant disadvantage and will certainly not die from exhausting her spiritual energy. Moreover, both he and his father have ways to prevent her from self-destructing, so this outcome is inevitable.
This was also why Wang Zheng had verbally provoked the demon king earlier, just to finish the battle quickly.
However, Wang Zheng was completely baffled. Although Wang Shengrong had the upper hand at the moment, Wang Zheng had been staring at the opponent's data panel the whole time. The opponent was far from being at the point of exhaustion.
Although Wang Zheng felt sorry for the mental core, he couldn't help but ponder the demon king's purpose.
"If we follow the conventional approach, we can greatly increase our strength by self-destructing inside our bodies, which might give us a chance to escape. So why would we self-destruct now?"
And why wasn't she willing to flee deeper into the mountains? Even when she wanted to leave the battlefield, she chose to continue north. What rare treasures in those mountains were worth protecting?
Wang Zheng shook his head, instantly dismissing his own guess.
"That's not right either. What treasure could be more important than life? If it were really some kind of spiritual fruit or plant, leading us that way would actually give us a chance to escape. She doesn't want us to go deep into Kunxu Mountain!"
It must be said that Young Master Wang's thinking was extremely clear; he deduced the deepest thoughts of the Illusionary Fox Demon King in an instant based solely on the demon king's self-destruction.
As for his father's safety, Wang Zheng wasn't worried at all.
Not to mention the blessing he now has from the Dharma Image, just his defensive power of 199 points of physique and his muscular build compressed to the size of a super alloy are impressive.
As for whether he could have any major problems, Wang Zheng preferred to believe that he had been caught in the crossfire and seriously injured.
As for injuries, they are bound to happen.
Who wouldn't get hurt killing a demon king? Anyway, with my super healing abilities, there's no need to worry. A few holy light spells will keep you jumping around, and you'll be a hero again in a few minutes!
At this moment, after the inner core in mid-air exploded, countless poisonous mists, carrying debris from all over the sky, transformed into a colorful phantom fox that was no smaller than the original form of the demon king. It hovered above Wang Shengrong's head and let out a series of silent roars.
The whistling sound that tore through the air seemed to be the roars of the magical fox, sweeping towards Wang Shengrong with unparalleled momentum, its power terrifying.
Wang Shengrong didn't hesitate either, enduring his injuries as he raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike upwards.
Instantly, a row of black and gold fist imprints shot out and collided fiercely with the energy tide, bursting out with a "sizzle" sound. The trees in the spiritual energy tide were directly blasted into powder.
However, Old Wang was also in bad shape. He first took the blow of the self-destruction head-on, and then fought several moves with the spiritual phantom fox. His body became unstable and he was knocked far away, even spitting out a mouthful of blood.
It wasn't that he lacked the strength to dodge, nor was it that he didn't know that the self-destructing spiritual energy would eventually dissipate and return to the world.
Rather, he couldn't hide, and he disdained to hide.
Wang Zheng was right behind him. As his father, he naturally had to protect his son from the wind and rain.
In addition, the boy had previously signaled to him with his eyes that he wanted to finish the battle quickly. Although he didn't know why, he trusted his son's judgment.
Although Wang Shengrong's face turned pale and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth after the explosion, the timely replenishment of holy light provided him with sufficient protection.
This time, he truly felt that what his son said was indeed true; the hunting trip was completely different with him or without him.
Regardless of whether this kid's schemes and tricks will continue to be effective, just based on the ample amount of treatment he provides, taking up a spot is well-deserved.
Wang Shengrong felt emboldened and his movements became wild. Having recovered under the holy light, Old Wang was in high spirits, charging into the vast tide of spiritual energy with a punch each...
Wang Zheng glanced at the battle situation above and scoffed at his father's approach. Although it was just the aftershock of the explosion, he could have simply followed the energy tide and guided it to explode elsewhere.
Rushing in to tank the damage makes you seem more defensive? Doesn't it hurt? Don't you need to heal yourself when you're injured?
Brute!
Then Wang Zheng shook his head, looking at the Illusionary Fox Demon King on the ground, whose breath was faint and who seemed to be dying, and felt a little emotional.
To be fair, Young Master Wang underestimated the demon kings' resilience and overestimated his father's power attributes, which surpassed those of the system panel.
It wasn't that Wang Zheng didn't believe in his father's strength, but after all, his father had only awakened his power a month ago. Expecting him to fully unleash all of that power was really asking too much.
