"Damn it! How is this even possible?"

"Come on! Little dog, show all your skills to me. I’ll accompany you for a good fight today!"

"Monkey! If I, the mighty Mastiff, don’t show my power, do you think I’m a sick cat? Come on! Let me see how capable you really are!"

The two of them neither yielding to the other.

Soon, the second round of the battle began once again.

Lin Zifeng stood nearby, watching the fight unfold, not in a hurry to kill the Mud King.

"Roar!!!"

This time, the handsome guy completely lost his temper. His green eyes emitted a thick murderous aura. His front paws constantly clawed at the hard ground.

While the Mud King’s body was as soft as mud.

With a swift movement, it transformed into a sharp electric current, rushing toward the handsome guy.

"Little dog! Here I come!" The Mud King laughed out loud.

"Beat me before you talk nonsense again!" The handsome guy’s verbal skills were second to none!

"Bang!"

The powerful strike of the first round caused a ripple in the air. A wave soared into the sky.

The Mud King retreated several steps, but its soft body was its advantage, quickly neutralizing the power from the handsome guy’s attack. But the handsome guy felt uncomfortable from the contact. He used a hard-hitting approach, while the Mud King dissolved its power and returned it back at him.

Clearly, he suffered a significant loss in that move.

No matter. That was just a probing attack; the real battle was yet to come.

But Lin Zifeng was getting impatient. Seeing the opportunity, he planned to directly slay the Mud King to avoid wasting more time here.

He knew the kings of the first layer—the Clown King, the second layer—the Mud King, and the third layer—the Other Shore Monk. Jia Zhenjing had already informed him about the kings of the first three layers of darkness, so he had a foundation in his heart.

Swoosh...

At that moment, a cluster of ghostly light suddenly burst forth in the pitch-black space, swift as lightning, almost impossible to discern what lay within it.

"Not good!" The Mud King reacted swiftly, realizing Lin Zifeng had attacked.

Once Lin Zifeng made a move, he was sure to succeed. His speed was like lightning, giving the Mud King no chance to evade.

"Bang!"

The Heavenly Painting Halberd ferociously struck, accompanied by a loud boom, piercing through the Mud King’s body. Still, due to his abnormal ability, his form could change.

He not only survived but also leaped out of the combat zone.

"Shameless! Shameless! Shameless!"

Jumping out of the danger zone, the Mud King was furious.

"Shameless you, your mother’s a damn fool!" Lin Zifeng didn’t bother with that, killing the Mud King was his mission. This guy was strong, and if not killed, dealing with all the kings gathered together would be a challenge.

"Swish!" The ghostly light arose once more, faster than expected.

"Damn! Shameless bastard, today the Mud King admits defeat. I’ll see you on the third layer..."

"Buzz~" He leaped onto a wall and promptly vanished along it.

"Dead dog! Quickly block his escape route! Walk ten steps forward, strike his throat with your right hand. Then use your foot to block his thigh." Lin Zifeng executed swiftly.

"Great! I, the Mastiff, love doing shameless things like this!" The handsome guy grinned, quickly leaping forward and sealing the Mud King’s escape route. However, Lin Zifeng’s sudden strike made the Mud King a bit panicked.

"Whoosh..." Lin Zifeng then wielded the Heavenly Painting Halberd, a chilling beam of light shot from his back, perceiving the deadly danger, his head tilted to the right.

A longsword nearly scraped his face as it whizzed by, the intense power grazing his face painfully!

"The Clown King!"

Lin Zifeng didn’t hesitate, immediately guessing the identity of the longsword’s owner. Flipping the war spear in his hand, without turning or looking back, he slapped the base of the spear, transforming it into a bloody light shooting at the Clown King behind him.

"Pfft~"

"Ah!!!"

The Clown King’s sharp voice shrieked. Followed by a burst of scarlet blood splattering. Lin Zifeng, barehanded, used the Heavenly Hand to seal the Mud King.

"Dead dog, attack together!"

Lin Zifeng shouted loudly. Resolutely attacking, with a pop, his fist struck something a hundred times harder than fine steel. Forcing Lin Zifeng to retreat abruptly, unsure what he hit.

However, he knew it wasn’t the Mud King’s body, because the Mud King’s body was incredibly soft. If it were so hard, it wouldn’t be called the Mud King.

"Not good! It must be that Other Shore Monk appearing!" Lin Zifeng felt a headache. The Clown King’s appearance was one thing; now, another powerful foe had joined—the Other Shore Monk, mightier than both the Clown and Mud Kings. In combat, the Other Shore Monk was trickier than them both.

Back then, even Jia Zhenjing nearly couldn’t escape from being trapped by the Other Shore Monk. Although his combat power now directly reached the Eighth Layer Heaven, each layer’s king here also had formidable combat capabilities. Though the Mud King appeared to have only Second Layer Heaven strength, his combat power was comparable to a Fifth Layer Heaven warrior! Rivaling the handsome guy.

The only difference was that their space hadn’t yet appeared. Once the barrier becomes space, the natural power grows immensely.

"Barrier!" Simultaneously, the handsome guy attacked to seal him, and the Mud King immediately unfolded his barrier. With a thud, the handsome guy’s front paw tore at his barrier but didn’t rip it open.

"Other Shore Monk, show yourself!" Lin Zifeng recalled the Heavenly Painting Halberd, stepping with Mystical Step, soared into the sky. Meeting him was a shiny, golden bald man, sitting atop a red lotus.

He seemed sincere, looking very much like a high-ranking monk from Buddhism. Lin Zifeng knew this guy outwardly appeared like a Buddha leading people through hardships, but he was actually sinister and malicious inside.

"Baldy! Take this!"

The Heavenly Painting Halberd tore through the sky, ripping through all resistance, crashing heavily with a single stroke. The Other Shore Monk suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, flashing rays of substantive light with a sudden burst. No longer pretending to be a monk, under the absolute power, further disguise was hard to deceive the opponent.

"Other Shore Red Lotus!"

The Other Shore Monk shouted. The red lotus below him rushed toward Lin Zifeng.

Then, it flipped into the air, beginning to unfold its Spatial Domain.

"Bang bang bang"

The red lotus continuously clashed with Lin Zifeng’s indestructible barrier without effect. Instead, Lin Zifeng’s single strike split it in two.

"Clang!"

The red lotus split in half. Then the Other Shore Monk widened his black teeth, fiercely monstrous, seemingly very angry, about to devour Lin Zifeng.

"Swoosh~"

Then, the Clown King reappeared, his sword attempting to strike, with threads coiling in hand. Lin Zifeng felt like his body was no longer under his control as if something was hooking his limbs. He wanted to move, but someone had control over him.

"Such petty tricks, you dare to show them off in front of me?" Lin Zifeng sneered, loosening his arms, an invisible energy swiftly erupted from him.

With a crashing sound...

The Clown King’s puppetry was neutralized. Only hearing two more screams from the Clown King, he jumped back from the ground again, holding the sword ready to strike Lin Zifeng.

"Kid, can you handle it?" The handsome guy noticed Lin Zifeng’s current situation, worried he couldn’t endure.

"Still good!"

Lin Zifeng responded.

"You’re still good, but I can’t take it anymore! Kid, hurry over here. Come help hold them off. I genuinely can’t hold on any longer!"

He was nearly being hacked crazily by the Mud King, having no strength to counterattack.

Not that he couldn’t fight back, he just didn’t want to unleash his true power.
