'Whoosh!'

Lou Yi's speed had already surpassed the Copper Corpse from earlier, even stirring up a large amount of white air currents while advancing.

Upon seeing this, the eyes of Hu Jiawei and the others were filled with astonishment.

This was the first time they saw Lou Yi exerting his full strength.

Especially You Qingyi, who recalled the mysterious disappearance of that late-stage Qi Cultivation evil cultivator, who hadn't been heard from since.

From the current situation, it seemed highly likely that Lou Yi himself had killed him!

Thinking of this, You Qingyi felt a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that Lou Yi could turn the tide as he did last time.

In their current predicament surrounded by a horde of demons, cultivators like her and Bi Yaoyao, who were at the mid-stage Qi Cultivation, were of no use at all.

There was a substantial gap between mid-stage and late-stage Qi Cultivation, not to mention the Tiger Demon that was comparable to the peak of Qi Cultivation.

'Whoosh!'

Lou Yi's figure changed rapidly in mid-air, transforming into numerous afterimages, covering a distance of a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, drawing closer to the Bone Spike Tiger Demon.

The Tiger Demon's eyes also flickered with surprise, speaking for the first time.

"I never expected to encounter such a powerful martial artist among the human race; this is my first in over three hundred years."

The Tiger Demon's deep and resonant voice echoed.

His words revealed that his age had exceeded three hundred years, more than ten times the lifespan of an ordinary tiger.

"However, based on my many years of experience, one should hold a sense of awe for the unknown or things that defy logic, lest they encounter misfortune."

A trace of cunning appeared in the Tiger Demon's eyes as he retreated!

At the same time, he opened his bloody mouth, unleashing a torrent of Black Wind towards Lou Yi in the sky.

The Black Wind covered the sky and earth, impossible to escape no matter how much he altered his direction—it infiltrated every possible escape route!

The Tiger Demon had no intention of giving Lou Yi the chance for close combat, aiming to nip the danger in the bud!

"Damn it, that's so sly!" Hu Jiawei yelled angrily.

He hadn't expected that, as a true king of the jungle, the Tiger Demon would be so cautious.

But on second thought, having survived for over three centuries, the adversary must have gone through much and learned to be prudent; otherwise, it wouldn't have survived this long.

You Qingyi and Bi Yaoyao both showed deep despair in their eyes.

They had just witnessed the power of the Tiger Demon's Black Wind Technique, capable of crumbling stones and destroying souls—how could ordinary flesh and blood withstand it?

On the field.

The Black Wind unleashed by the Tiger Demon was already closing in, enveloping any potential escape route for Lou Yi.

Within the Black Wind, hideous, twisted heads continuously emerged.

Beasts, birds, humans—these were clearly souls captured from those previously slain by the Tiger Demon.

Simultaneously, screams, cries, roars, and curses rang out incessantly, shaking one's resolve and evoking fearful thoughts.

Those with weak resolve would likely lose their sanity and become fools before even reaching the Black Wind.

Yet, seeing no escape, Lou Yi advanced instead of retreating, proactively stepping inside!

In an instant, the world turned into a cacophonous black field, the piercing cold, curses, and invectives surging towards him, aiming to devour and disintegrate him completely.

Faced with such an attack akin to divine retribution, Lou Yi merely uttered two light words:

"Wind Stabilization."

A mysterious and peculiar transformation occurred within Lou Yi.

The once onrushing Black Wind, about to engulf him, seemed to encounter an indestructible reef.

Most of it dispersed to the sides, leaving only about ten percent covering Lou Yi's body.

"Black Skin."

Lou Yi began activating the Skin Refining Technique, dramatically increasing the density and strength of his internal muscles, and turning his skin a metallic, black-gray color.

The defense of an ordinary Black-skinned Martial Artist could withstand the hardest Profound Iron in the mortal world, and with Lou Yi's strong Qi-blood, even meteorite iron from the heavens would struggle to break his defense.

"Petrification."

The Talent Stoneification was activated.

The surface skin just reinforced by the Skin Refining Technique underwent a second transformation.

It turned from black-gray to crimson-silver, with its hardness reaching a new level, not a mere addition.

Based on previous experience, ordinary magical artifacts without special effects would struggle against it!

"Golden Armor."

Then, a thick golden keratin layer formed closely over Lou Yi's crimson-silver skin.

This keratin's toughness was such that ordinary magic would be hard-pressed to break it, forming Lou Yi's third layer of defense.

"Yellow Extreme."

Within Lou Yi, the Yellow Extreme Breathing Technique circulated wildly, and red True Strength emerged from his body.

Instantly, a visible layer of air enveloped him tightly, creating the fourth layer of defense!

"Tenacity."

For safety reasons, the Talent of Tenacity was also activated.

Eighty percent of all forms of damage could be absorbed, leaving only twenty percent to infiltrate the body.

This was Lou Yi's fifth layer of latent defense!

Thus, to ordinary eyes, the terrifying Black Wind dispersed madly when it collided with Lou Yi.

Only ten percent crashed into him, with over fifty percent being neutralized by the red True Strength and the remaining forty-odd percent barely melting through the keratin layer.

In the end, only a trivial amount fell onto the petrified crimson-silver skin.

Like a gentle breeze caressing the face, it brought a mere hint of coolness.

The hideous heads within the Black Wind instantly ceased their cries and roars, all showing a look of astonishment, their eyes wide open.

And Lou Yi stepped out from within the Black Wind, unscathed.

The next moment.

"Yellow Extreme."

"Golden Armor."

The red True Strength and golden keratin layer regenerated, returning to their previous five-layer defense form!

In the eyes of others, Lou Yi had become a bizarre little golden man, shimmering with red light all over!

"Junior Brother Lou...he's unharmed!" Seeing Lou Yi stride forth unharmed from the Tiger Demon's magic, Hu Jiawei was momentarily dazed.

With his years of cultivation experience, he couldn't fathom how Lou Yi had survived.

"He's unharmed!"

You Qingyi's originally red eyes turned even redder, filled with a shade of rejoicing tears.

She had secretly harbored affection for Lou Yi in her heart.

Just moments ago, believing Lou Yi to be doomed, she had considered a reckless last stand.

Never did she expect him to turn the impossible into possible, emerging safe from the Black Wind.

As for Bi Yaoyao, her large eyes, looking at Lou Yi, held a newfound brilliance unprecedented before.

The man she couldn't discern became even more admirable, growing increasingly mysterious.

"Impossible!" The Tiger Demon roared in anger, "Without a magical artifact, merely at the second level of Qi Cultivation, how can you withstand my Yin Wind?

Even your Human Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators would hesitate to tread lightly within!"

"Die, you human whelp!"

The furious Tiger Demon fired all eight white Bone Spikes from his back, slicing through the sky, aiming at Lou Yi!

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh!'

A single Bone Spike could suppress Hu Jiawei's Flying Sword.

And eight Bone Spikes amounted to at least eight flying swords attacking Lou Yi simultaneously!

Having just stepped out of the Black Wind Technique, Lou Yi now faced the terrifying siege of Bone Spikes, with being shredded to pieces as the most probable outcome!

"Oh no!" Hu Jiawei exclaimed, aghast, while deep concern filled the eyes of You Qingyi and Bi Yaoyao.
