“Aaaaaaaaaah—!”
“It hurts!
It hurts like hell!”
A massive wail echoed through the vast, empty factory.
Mottled moonlight poured down through the ruined roof above, dividing the ground into broken patches.
Su Tang grinned, both hands clamped tightly around the blood-red intestine.
Flames moved without wind, surging up and down around him as he shouted, bright and clear, “Get—out here!”
The already-cracked floor tiles beneath his feet immediately groaned under the strain.
His flame-covered arms bulged with veins, and through the flickering red light, the knotted muscles beneath could be seen clearly, coiled like crouching dragons.
Like a tug-of-war, the blood-red intestine was dragged out inch by inch by Su Tang’s terrifying brute strength, empowered by flame.
And after that came the owner of the intestine.
Sensing that his accumulated strength had reached its peak, a blood-red light flashed through Su Tang’s eyes.
His feet rooted firmly into the ground.
Power rose from the earth, then he twisted his waist, turned his arms, and pulled.
Rumble—!
Dust exploded into the air.
The sound of some enormous creature being hurled to the ground thundered through the factory.
Almost at the same time, a streak of fire slithered along the intestine like a spirit snake, piercing into the cloud of dust and smoke, illuminating everything inside with perfect clarity.
Su Tang narrowed his eyes and exhaled softly.
As his breath drifted through the air, it even sparked with a few flickers of flame.
“Devil Hunter!
You deserve to die!”
A voice filled with pain and rage rolled toward him.
Its owner was none other than the Zombie Devil the gang boss had mentioned before his death.
The pressure brought by this massive creature, comparable in size to a two-story building, was far beyond anything that small-fry Leg Devil from earlier could compare with.
Its body nearly reached the roof, showing that it was at least almost five meters tall.
And the reason it was called a body, rather than mentioning the top of its head, was because this thing’s head did not grow from its neck.
Instead, it protruded like a tumor from the upper half of its body.
Its features were complete, but its hair was not.
It was bald.
As for the lower half of its body, it was supported by those blood-red intestines, tangled and knotted together, serving as both legs and hands.
To be honest, this appearance had seriously exceeded Su Tang’s psychological limits.
Forget Shendu; by comparison, even Po Kong the Mountain Demon seemed delicate and pretty.
Fortunately, whenever he activated his ability, fire energy rushed upward and filled his head.
Although that temporarily robbed him of part of his reason, in a sense, it also protected his sanity.
Otherwise, just seeing the other party’s magnificent face would probably have made him vomit himself inside out.
“Everyone, tear that hateful Devil Hunter into pieces!”
Both furious and wary, the Zombie Devil extended a blood-red intestine and pointed at Su Tang, giving orders to the zombies closing in from all directions.
Those things staggered as they walked, their eyes hollow and lifeless.
Clearly, they were meant to be thrown at Su Tang to wear down his stamina.
Now Su Tang understood why the shadow ninja had both nodded and shaken its head earlier.
So the people inside had all turned into zombies.
But…
Sticking out his tongue to lick his lips, Su Tang reached out and laughed.
“Pretty wishful thinking.
You think you’re the only one with minions?”
Rustle, rustle—
The shadows on the ground began to flow strangely, gathering beneath the feet of every zombie.
Countless shadow ninjas emerged one after another from the darkness, rising throughout the factory like bamboo shoots after rain.
“Impossible—!”
An incredulous shriek rang out.
The Zombie Devil waved its intestines and shouted, “What Devil did you contract with?!
Shadows, fire, and ninjas—don’t tell me you made three contracts all by yourself!”
“Ahaha—”
Su Tang tilted his head and laughed.
Fire suddenly burst beneath his feet, and his whole body shot straight toward the Zombie Devil like a rocket.
“What Devil did I contract with?”
A huge blaze wrapped around his fist.
Madness surged in Su Tang’s eyes as he smashed it down toward the Zombie Devil’s head.
Sparks scattered, red light filled the air, and only that flamboyant voice rolled out in every direction.
“Haha!
If I say his name, I’ll scare you half to death!”
The sound wave drove the blast wave forward, and smoke instantly sealed off the entire area.
“It hurts!
It hurts!
It hurts!”
An enraged roar pierced through the smoke.
A blood intestine as thick as a bowl fell from high above like a whip, lashing toward him.
Good!
That means it’s working!”
Flames rose everywhere in the air.
Su Tang’s figure hid within the fire as he dodged the blood intestine’s whipping strikes, even his voice drifting unpredictably.
“If you die, it won’t hurt anymore!”
The flames rapidly intensified.
The sparks scattered everywhere seemed to answer a call, gathering swiftly toward the center and condensing in midair into five fireballs, each about half a meter across.
“Eat my Five Fireball Divine Art!
Hahahahaha!”
The crackling sound of ignition rang through the air.
Scorching heat waves rolled out one after another.
Before Su Tang’s voice had even fully fallen, the five fireballs tore through the air, aimed straight at the Zombie Devil.
Unlike Su Tang’s small frame, the Zombie Devil’s body, which nearly filled the entire factory, was the perfect target.
It could not dodge even if it wanted to.
It could only take the hit head-on.
The instant flesh met flame, it began to char.
Before blood could even flow, it evaporated into searing steam.
Black patches and red patches spread across its body, mixed with the Zombie Devil’s agonized howls.
Su Tang’s figure fell from the air.
He did not have the Rooster Talisman, so he could not remain airborne for long.
At this moment, hearing the Devil’s screams, his brow instead furrowed deeply.
Damn it.
There was too little of Shendu’s residual fire energy left.
And he had only inherited half of that remnant fire energy.
Whether in terms of flame temperature or total reserves, it was far too lacking.
Judging from the Zombie Devil’s still-vigorous screams, it was in pain, but the attacks might not be fatal.
At a time like this, having the Dragon Talisman would be perfect.
In terms of power, it could unleash explosive blasts.
In terms of endurance, it represented Shendu’s limitless energy.
As long as he had the Dragon Talisman, Su Tang would be able to use fire energy continuously without worrying about sustainability.
As Su Tang thought this, he rapidly recovered the fire energy within his body.
But the Zombie Devil did not give him much time.
The smoke created by the heat quickly dispersed.
Su Tang raised his head and thought, as expected.
The Zombie Devil’s body no longer had a single intact spot.
Burnt remnants covered it everywhere.
The dense black spots and craters represented the severity of its injuries, but…
They did not mean it was dead.
Damn it.
His burst power was still insufficient.
Su Tang took a deep breath and prepared himself to fight again.
A dark teal color, like bronze, surfaced across his face, but did not continue spreading.
Because Su Tang suddenly heard a sound.
It sounded like…
A chainsaw?
