Xiao Fei's fighting style with the Black Scale Demon was the same as before.
It was an old routine. He wasn't bored, but the onlookers found it tedious, lacking any novelty.
He still relied on his teleportation movement technique to wear down the opponent's demonic energy through relentless engagement.
However, both individuals in today's battle had their own hidden agendas and a sense of smugness, feeling a superiority from having outsmarted the other.
Xiao Fei, of course, had Huang Feifei hidden, waiting for the opportune moment to strike for a swift kill.
The Black Scale Demon also seemed confident, as if holding back a trump card, fighting at a steady, unhurried pace.
The battle between the two sides continued for another two hours. Just then, the Black Scale Demon let out a cold sneer.
"Kid! You're facing your doom, and you still want to pull the same trick?"
"I saw through your little schemes long ago. I've been playing along with you just to annihilate all of you."
"The time is right now. You are destined to be unable to escape today!"
"Heh heh heh..."
The Black Scale Demon revealed its fangs and claws. In the distance, shadowy demonic armies could be seen approaching to surround them.
The Flying Sky Giant Boat, having plundered and ravaged the demon territory daily, had become a major thorn in the demons' side, a threat they were determined to eliminate.
The Black Scale Demon, having failed in its sneak attack today, was not in a hurry. It decided to play along, stalling for time with Xiao Fei while waiting for other demonic armies to arrive and form an encirclement.
After these two hours of fighting, the demon powerhouses from various factions had taken their positions, forming an impenetrable encirclement.
Xiao Fei looked into the distance and saw dense masses of demons all around, including Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators. He even sensed a hidden Soul Transformation aura among them.
This was not going to be easy!
"Retreat!"
Xiao Fei shouted loudly at the Flying Sky Giant Boat, intending to retreat back into the vessel himself.
But how could the Black Scale Demon let such an opportunity slip away? The previous time Xiao Fei had drained its demonic energy was a humiliation it would never forget.
The Black Scale Demon's speed was not slow. With a flash, it blocked the path between Xiao Fei and the Flying Sky Giant Boat.
The situation was now critical. The thousand Spirit Energy Cannons on the Flying Sky Giant Boat had extended their long muzzles.
The muzzles all lit up, ready to unleash a fatal blow at any moment.
Huang Feifei had already silently positioned herself on the deck, concealing all her aura and killing intent, her gaze locked onto the Black Scale Demon standing before the Flying Sky Giant Boat.
At this moment, she felt as if she had returned to her days as an assassin, with only the prey in her eyes.
Xiao Fei, with his path blocked by the Black Scale Demon, appeared agitated, seemingly having lost his usual composure. He charged at the Black Scale Demon with sheer brute force, brandishing his saber.
"You old scoundrel! Get out of my way and let me pass!"
"Hahaha... It's useless to jump the wall in desperation now! What a pity, it's too late!"
The Black Scale Demon was greatly pleased. Seeing Xiao Fei desperately trying to fight him, it couldn't have wished for anything more, as it was the perfect opportunity to eliminate this bothersome nuisance.
Before Xiao Fei, wielding his black demonic saber, could even get close, the Black Scale Demon's long tongue shot out like lightning, piercing Xiao Fei's abdomen and pulling him close.
With a long tongue thrust into his abdomen, Xiao Fei felt a churning, nauseating sensation within.
However, due to his special physique and extremely strong recovery abilities, the flesh and blood in his body rapidly wriggled and grew, effectively jamming the Black Scale Demon's long tongue within him.
Despite being injured, a faint, undetectable cold smile appeared on Xiao Fei's lips!
Simultaneously with Xiao Fei's injury, the thousand Spirit Energy Cannons on the Flying Sky Giant Boat emitted dazzling light.
The ten thousand beams of spell light, having accumulated energy, instantly engulfed both Xiao Fei and the Black Scale Demon.
The cultivators controlling the Spirit Energy Cannons on the Flying Sky Giant Boat, upon receiving Huang Feifei's command, did not hesitate and directly covered Xiao Fei and the Black Scale Demon.
After the Spirit Energy Cannons fired, the nearly ten thousand cultivators on the Flying Sky Giant Boat also unleashed their respective magical treasures, bombarding the area where Xiao Fei and the Black Scale Demon were.
Amidst this barrage of spells and treasures, Xiao Fei also received indiscriminate attacks.
Under these overwhelming, tsunami-like attacks, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would have been reduced to dust in an instant.
At this moment, Xiao Fei's physical advantage began to manifest.
His cultivation of the "Wind Thunder Battle Body" granted his physical body immense defensive capabilities, and while receiving attacks, his bodily injuries were also rapidly recovering.
These conditions allowed him to survive longer under the fierce onslaught.
Xiao Fei, disregarding his severe injuries, clung to the Black Scale Demon's back, tightly gripping its long tongue, refusing to let it escape the range of the attack.
In previous battles between Xiao Fei and the Black Scale Demon, due to their rapid changes in movement and position, the Spirit Energy Cannons and the nearly ten thousand cultivators on the Flying Sky Giant Boat could not assist.
This was because, in battles of this caliber, their long-range attacks had an equal chance of accidentally hitting Xiao Fei as they did of hitting the demon.
But today, Xiao Fei was prepared to sacrifice his life to hold the Black Scale Demon, so they unleashed their most powerful divine abilities without any reservations, bombarding the two of them.
It didn't matter who was hit; after all, they had heard that Xiao Fei had multiple lives, and their own Soul Transformation expert hadn't made a move yet, with Huang Feifei providing a safety net.
Xiao Fei, having cultivated the "Wind Thunder Battle Body" to the third level, possessed immense strength, which he now fully exerted on the Black Scale Demon, holding on to it tightly.
The two of them tumbled and wrestled in the artillery fire, their bodies constantly enduring bombardments denser than raindrops.
Finally, Xiao Fei was the first to succumb, dying first and transforming into two sections of lotus root, which were then instantly blasted to smithereens.
The remaining Black Scale Demon was also in a bad state. Its tongue was severed, its tail was cut off at the root, and its hard black scales had all fallen off, leaving it a gruesome sight.
Finally breaking free from Xiao Fei's entanglement, it unleashed its demonic energy from within and swung its mace forward, sending countless attacks flying back.
Without Xiao Fei's restraint, its true Soul Transformation strength was revealed.
The Black Scale Demon, its body covered in bloody wounds, held its mace and charged directly against tens of thousands of attacks, delivering a great shock to the human cultivators on the Flying Sky Giant Boat.
"Trash!"
The Black Scale Demon sneered contemptuously and was about to break free from the myriad of magical treasure attacks.
Just then, a seemingly inconspicuous flying sword, hidden among the many magical treasures, shot out and slashed towards the Black Scale Demon's neck.
The Black Scale Demon had intended to escape this ocean of attacks with an air of invincible superiority.
However, before it could finish its show of arrogance, it suddenly felt a life-or-death crisis approaching. It still wanted to defend itself.
But the flying sword was too close. With a "swish," it passed by, and the Black Scale Demon's head rolled off.
Huang Feifei, having struck successfully, feared that the Black Scale Demon might have other hidden moves. The flying sword repeatedly slashed through the air, dismembering the Black Scale Demon's corpse into over a dozen pieces before she stopped.
"Oh! Oh oh oh!"
"Goddess is mighty!"
"Goddess is invincible!"
Cheers erupted from the Flying Sky Giant Boat.
Since the appearance of the demons, this was the first time they had personally witnessed a human expert kill a demon of Soul Transformation.
Everyone was in an unprecedented state of excitement, some even weeping with joy, embracing and crying.
Having endured years of fighting against the demons, watching their loved ones and compatriots being slaughtered by them, and being powerless to intervene.
From today onwards, they finally saw hope!
"Fellow Daoists! This is just a small victory we have temporarily achieved. Greater victories await us!"
As everyone on the Flying Sky Giant Boat was overcome with emotion, Huang Feifei shouted loudly, her voice reaching every corner of the vessel.
The battle they had just fought with the Black Scale Demon, though it felt long, had actually lasted only a dozen breaths.
At this moment, the encircling demon forces from the distance had drawn near, and a more intense and brutal battle still awaited them.
