The stone also moved at the same time, its internal energy cultivation technique surging wildly, pale golden spiritual power covering its entire body, and its right arm swelling to a whole size.
The fist, as solid as an iron pillar, slammed towards the demon's other hand with earth-shattering force!
"Clang! Bang!"
Two loud explosions rang out almost simultaneously. Xiao Chen's rusty iron spear pierced the demon's palm, but only penetrated half an inch before being blocked by the demon's hard scales.
The stone's fist slammed into the other palm, and although the demon's arm went slightly numb from the impact, it was also bounced back by a tremendous force.
"Hmm? Interesting."
A hint of surprise flashed in the demon's eyes, then a cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly exerted force with both arms!
"puff!"
Xiao Chen felt a tremendous force coming from the gun, his hand instantly split open, and the rusty iron gun almost slipped from his grasp.
His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into an ancient tree, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The stone was also shaken backward by the force, its feet plowing deep furrows in the ground, and its arms trembled slightly, clearly indicating that it was not in good pain either.
"Senior Brother! Are you alright?" Shi Tou rushed to Xiao Chen's side, his eyes filled with worry.
Xiao Chen slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at the demon with a serious expression: "It's alright. The demon's physical body is too strong. We won't gain any advantage in a head-on fight."
"Stone, you draw its attention from the front and take the brunt of the attack with your bare body, while I'll look for opportunities to ambush it from the side, focusing on its eyes and throat!"
"Okay!" Stone agreed without hesitation and charged towards the demons again, swinging his fists and deliberately creating openings to attract the demons' attacks.
Xiao Chen quietly circled around to the demon's side, a faint cyan spear intent gathering in his rusty iron spear, his gaze fixed on the demon's throat.
He knew this was a life-or-death gamble; a single misstep and both of them would die here.
On the other side of the battlefield, the surviving cultivators at the Dao Proving Realm were also locked in battle with the third demon.
Dozens of cultivators joined forces, unleashing spells and weapons, but they were still overwhelmed by the demons. Every now and then, someone would be hit by the demons' attacks and fall down with a scream.
The three demons at the Creation Realm were like three insurmountable mountains, pressing down on everyone and making it hard for them to breathe.
No one backed down; retreat meant death. Only by fighting desperately could they have a chance of survival!
Lin Jingxing and Luo Qingyang charged forward again, their dragon flames intertwining with the power of space.
Xiao Chen sought an opportunity to launch a sneak attack from the side, while Shi Tou took the brunt of the attack head-on; the surviving cultivators also became enraged and launched a fierce attack despite their injuries.
"Come on! Real men fight with their fists against each other!"
With a roar, Stone unleashed a surge of pale golden spiritual energy, charging towards the Creation Realm demon like a madman.
He didn't dodge or flinch at all, his left arm taking the demon's claw strike head-on, the black scales grazing his arm.
He left a deep, bone-revealing bloodstain, but he was completely unaware of it. His right fist, carrying the power to "shatter mountains and split rocks," slammed hard into the demon's chest!
"Bang!"
The demon was knocked back a step, a dent appeared in its chest scales, and black blood seeped out.
A flash of rage crossed its eyes, and it retaliated with a punch, slamming it heavily onto the stone's shoulder.
Stone grunted, his shoulder instantly turning red and swollen, but he still grinned and slammed his other fist into the demon's head!
The sounds of fists colliding echoed across the battlefield. Stone grew increasingly frenzied, spewing out scathing remarks: "Is that all? Even the Creation Realm is nothing special! Your fists are as soft as if you haven't eaten. If you're so weak, go home and drink your milk!"
"Put more effort into it! My bones aren't broken yet, are you kidding me?"
The demons were furious at Shi Tou's words, but they couldn't shake off this tough nut to crack.
Every time it tried to exert force to severely damage the stone, a sharp gust of wind from the side would come, forcing it to focus on defense.
Holding a rusty iron spear, Xiao Chen moved like the most agile hunter, always lurking on the demon's flank.
He didn't engage the demons in direct combat, but instead, during the lulls when they attacked the rocks, he would use the tip of his spear to stab at the demons' joints and the gaps in their scales. Occasionally, he would even use the shaft of his spear to strike the demons' eyes.
Although it couldn't cause serious injury, it was extremely annoying, like a buzzing mosquito, making the demons restless.
"Damn human! Get out of my way!"
The demon, finally losing its patience, turned to grab Xiao Chen, but the moment it turned, Stone seized the opportunity to leap up and punch it in the back of the head! With a loud "thud..."
The demon's mind went blank for a moment, and a large bump instantly swelled up on its head. Before it could recover, Stone's second punch came crashing down, this time to its temple.
In a short while, the demon had three or four large bumps on his head, looking utterly disheveled.
"You two are asking for it!"
The demon was utterly enraged, a sinister killing intent flashing in its eyes.
It decided to kill that annoying gun cultivator first, and then slowly deal with this body cultivator who was stubbornly holding out!
This murderous intent was deeply hidden, yet it was caught by the ever-vigilant Xiao Chen.
"Oh no, he's going to attack me first!"
Xiao Chen's heart tightened. Without further hesitation, he leaped into the air, raising his rusty iron spear high above his head. Azure spear intent condensed wildly, and the spear tip flashed with a blinding light.
"Meteorite Falls!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen, like a falling meteorite, hurled his rusty iron spear at the demons!
The moment the spear tip touched the ground, a terrifying blue shockwave erupted, instantly cracking the ground, sending debris flying, and snapping the surrounding trees in half.
This is an area-of-effect explosive damage attack, specifically designed to counter demons' attempts to get close!
"Hmph! Useless!"
A look of disdain flashed in the demon's eyes. He crossed his arms in front of him, and black demonic energy condensed into a shield to block the shockwave.
With a loud bang, the shockwave struck the demonic energy shield, causing the demon to stagger back two steps, but it remained firmly in place.
Seeing that Xiao Chen had exhausted his moves, it was overjoyed and leaped up, gathering all its strength in its right arm.
Enveloped in black demonic energy, it slammed fiercely towards Xiao Chen. This was a killing move he had been preparing for a long time, determined to kill Xiao Chen with one punch!
"Be careful, Senior Brother!"
Stone reacted extremely quickly, rushing to Xiao Chen's side in an instant. His spiritual power exploded without reservation, and his pale golden fist also gathered all its strength to meet the black fist of the demon!
"boom--!"
The two fists collided with a loud crash, and pale golden spiritual energy and black demonic energy exploded, sending surrounding rocks flying everywhere.
The stone was jolted backward by the immense force, its feet carving deep furrows in the ground. Its arms trembled slightly, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of its mouth.
The demon was also forced back three steps by the recoil, his right arm went numb, and his charged killing move was blocked.
"Now!"
Seizing this critical opportunity, Xiao Chen moved like an arrow, instantly circling around to the demon's flank and rear, his rusty iron spear once again condensing azure spear intent.
The spear tip trembled slightly, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, and swiftly thrust towards the demon's side:
"The snake nodded!"
This shot was as fast as lightning and incredibly accurate, piercing directly through the gap in the demon's scales on its side, with the spear tip sinking in more than halfway!
"Ugh—!"
The demon let out a shrill scream, his body trembled violently, and he subconsciously turned around to grab Xiao Chen, but the force of the spear tip pulled him, causing him unbearable pain.
It hastily retreated, pulled out its rusty iron spear, and black blood gushed out instantly, soaking its clothes.
