Pretending To Be A Boss

Tang Xian didn't expect to hear such a statement; his heart was initially filled with joy, but before he had a chance to explain anything, he saw the evil spirit charging at them.

Bai Mansheng's reaction was quicker. The moment the strange creature lunged forward, she summoned countless Ice Crystal Blades, all of which fell upon the creature's body.

But strangely, the evil spirit, clearly aware of these attacks, never thought of dodging them.

It let the ice blades carve wounds in its body as if it didn't belong to itself.

Even Tang Feiji would have to dodge Bai Mansheng's attack, yet this creature seemed to feel no pain whatsoever.

The entire process, an obstacle composed of numerous ice blades, only held him back for a few seconds.

It was at this moment that Tang Xian and Bai Mansheng could clearly see what was happening.

"This isn't about having terrifying defensive power, but rather the body's healing speed is shockingly fast."

Tang Xian had rarely encountered such creatures. The strongest regenerative ability he had seen so far was Tang Feiji's.

Even if he sustained fatal injuries, he could recover within an hour.

But compared to the creature before him, Tang Feiji seemed as if he lacked the attribute of life regeneration entirely.

Tang Xian suddenly became interested.

The strength and speed of this evil spirit were only at the standard of a perfect-level creature, and Tang Xian had already become capable of contending with such a creature.

He harbored the thought of a battle, wanting to test just how much punishment this strange creature could take.

Bai Mansheng was the most astonished. Although she had a human form, with a strength only one-sixth of her beast form, no creature had dared to withstand her attacks head-on.

She launched consecutive attacks, only to be met with mocking expressions from the evil spirit. Although his face was twisted by rage, Bai Mansheng still felt it; he appeared to be displaying a sort of disdain.

No matter the attack, it was difficult to injure it; Bai Mansheng found that all she could do was to summon ice walls to trap it.

But even so, it was only a stalemate.

Tang Xian said,

"You don't need to intervene. I'll take care of this strange guy."

Bai Mansheng knew that Tang Xian had some strange power inside him, for instance, when he tore apart the Taotie. She said,

"This creature… is just too tough."

Tang Xian nodded and said,

"You keep watch. It seems that the creature imprisoned in this castle is the one we're dealing with. I'll handle him; his defenses are ineffective against me."

"Be careful," she said.

Bai Mansheng also sensed that although the evil spirit had terrifying vitality, its destructive power was not strong.

Tang Xian's face wore an enigmatic excitement.

Most smart people have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. It's like saying you're putting together a team of six and being unsettled when one is missing.

However, Tang Xian had never encountered a creature even "meatier" than himself. Therefore, the character of Tang being "meaty" had always been on hold.

Huge ice walls surrounded Tang Xian and the hybrid.

It was like a small arena.

Tang Xian tried communicating with the hybrid, indicating that he was not actually with the Court of All Beasts.

But the hybrid was completely consumed by rage. The only response to Tang Xian was a rush of fists and claws.

Tang Xian's body was flung back, hitting the ice wall. To Tang Xian's surprise, the prompt in his knowledge sea was "unknown primate resistance +1".

This was indeed beyond Tang Xian's imagination, suggesting that the Court of All Beasts' prison held a previously unknown new creature.

Tang Xian's expression remained calm as he said,

"I reaffirm that I am not your enemy, but it seems you need a painful beating to snap back to your senses... then let me properly explain the reasons to you."

As the hybrid launched another charge, Tang Xian also raised his fist and swung down fiercely.
