After the unexpected incident, Wang Xiaole's brain quickly spun into action, summarizing several key pieces of information:

Firstly, the explosive used was not gunpowder, but the magic inside the Claw Demon's body.

Secondly, the explosion occurred in the instant when he swung his fist or collided with the Claw Demon's claws.

Thirdly, the means used by the Claw Demon to detonate the explosion was closely related to its claws. It was as if the claws, through collision, caused the released magic to explode.

Magic can cause explosions too?

Absolutely, it is similar to the principles of magic.

Why does magic cause such devastating destruction?

Aside from the effects of adding elements and the releasing of the magician's own magic power, there is another important reason.

Using attack magic involves mixing elemental magic and then releasing it, followed immediately by detonation.

But magic is not limited to only magical purposes.

Physical attacks, like the ones the Claw Demon performs, also require the use of magic. Otherwise, punches or claws would be light and ineffective.

Previously, the Claw Demon couldn't freely manipulate its own magic power and detonate it simply by swinging its claws.

However, the magic power delivered by Leduosi's transfer allowed the Claw Demon's power to undergo a qualitative leap. It could now do things that were previously unachievable, like turning the tide effortlessly.

Knowing the "cause" means understanding the "effect," and Wang Xiaole quickly arrived at a conclusion in his mind:

The Claw Demon's two claws have become two "detonators."

Once an external physical pressure conflicts or makes contact with them, it would trigger an explosion like before.

Considering the massive amount of magic power transferred by Leduosi, the Claw Demon at this moment is like a mobile "powder keg," and it wouldn't explode just once!

Furthermore, not making physical contact doesn't mean staying safe. If the Claw Demon wishes, it can also "ignite" its magic power at an appropriate distance.

The intense explosions inflicted minimal damage to the claws and the Claw Demon itself because the direction of the magic detonation was highly targeted.

Just like controlled fire, even if there is damage, it is mainly directed at a specific target.

The focus of the magic's wrath has always been Wang Xiaole alone.

However, there is a saying that goes:

The fist that is thrown with force will also hurt its owner.

Although the Claw Demon won't suffer direct harm from this, continuous exposure to the explosions will inevitably lead to indirect damage.

As Wang Xiaole put it bluntly: "Although your claws are sturdy enough, continuously detonating magic will eventually make them unable to withstand the impact, leaving you permanently disabled... Is it worth it?"

"Hehehe, we demons are not that fragile. Our bodies heal very quickly! Even if I lose both arms after the battle, it would only take less than twenty years for the injuries to completely recover."

Twenty years may occupy a quarter of a human's lifetime, but for demons, it is merely a blink of an eye.

This race does not care about time because demons never lack it.

Furthermore, the most important reason why the Claw Demon disregards everything is because of his hatred towards Wang Xiaole.

The Claw Demon made it clear: "For a small price, I can turn you, who obstructs me, into a pile of flesh. This is such a great deal!"

The terrifying expression on his face made it evident just how threatening and chilling he looked.

Wang Xiaole understood:

Although the other party is currently not crazy, they have entered a state of madness. Compared to a real madman, they still have some sanity left. When Claw Demon first appeared on stage, he was a confident middle-aged demon, a bit arrogant but still within the range of normal behavior. But within a few minutes of the fight, he became like this.

The trigger that caused Claw Demon to change so drastically is not just because his self-esteem has been continuously bruised, but mainly because of the magic power supplied by Letusi. Every living creature, even demons, has a "limit of endurance" in their bodies. Once external power exceeds this limit, it will inevitably cause damage to the body. Since they are in a battle, Letusi cannot let Claw Demon's body be harmed. There are only so many parts in his body, so they cannot be injured. The only option is to harm his mind. The mismatched and overwhelming power led to Claw Demon's current state, in which his mental faculties are unclear.

Faced with the current situation of dealing with a half-crazy opponent, Wang Xiaole made a decision:

Don't let the other party suffer anymore, the fight must be ended quickly to give them a satisfactory result.

For this reason, Wang Xiaole had to be serious and exert one-eighteenth of his power, otherwise the fight would drag on and on.

As if he had caught a glimpse of a clue, Claw Demon wasted no time and instantly drew all the magic power from his body, even if it meant further harming himself, even if there would be lasting aftereffects, he had to determine the winner within an instant.

The overflow of magic power created a mist that rose up from his feet and swirled around him. This caused Claw Demon's speed to skyrocket, and every movement of his body sent out countless afterimages. When he transformed into a shadow demon and sprinted at full speed, his body became a string of interconnected light and shadows, like teleportation, crossing over a hundred steps in an instant.

"I will kill you!"

In the blink of an eye, Claw Demon approached his target, swinging his right claw towards their face. Without waiting for the strike to land, Wang Xiaole stepped forward and moved to a diagonal position from his original stance. The opponents faced each other, Claw Demon swung his right claw, but Wang Xiaole was now on his left side, reaching out with his left hand to grab his arm.

As long as he couldn't hit his target, the magic power couldn't explode.

Wang Xiaole had figured out his opponent's weakness and put his plan into action during the actual battle.

Claw Demon took a second to swing his claw, while Wang Xiaole only took half a second to grab his arm.

"You're too slow, I'm faster than you!"

As the shout echoed, Claw Demon's arm turned to the side, flipping his body upwards, throwing himself into the air. He was thrown into a half-suspended state.

At this moment, the spectators finally understood:

Although Wang Xiaole looked weak, his body contained astonishing strength. He effortlessly tossed his opponent like handling a piece of paper.

"Don't think you can defeat me!"

Even in mid-air, Claw Demon's roar was still piercing.

They saw his body reverse, with his head now facing downwards, bringing his arm down along with it. The sharp, swiftly descending claw left behind a trail of crimson radiance, accompanied by another sharp attack.

Wang Xiaole quickly lifted his leg, with his thigh stretching straight and his lower leg bent, the sole of his shoe forming a right angle, kicking forward. At first glance, it seemed like there would be a collision between the sole of his shoe and the claw, and his leg would be engulfed in smoke and dust, but that was not the case.

Wang Xiaole kicked vigorously, and just as his shoe sole was about to hit the claw, the momentum and direction suddenly shifted;

The shoe sole unexpectedly changed its trajectory and struck down above the Claw Demon's arm, just above its claw, from top to bottom.

After all, the Claw Demon couldn't withstand attacks all over its body.

Crack!

That was the sound of impact, but it was not enough to cause a bone fracture because a layer of protective film formed by magic had been plated on the surface of its arm;

This film protected the bone in the Claw Demon's location from being broken, but only for a moment.

"You are strong, but I am stronger..."

Scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch!

The existence of the magic protective film lasted only for that moment.

Immediately after, the raised toe of Wang Xiaole's foot controlled the shoe sole to go straight down, shattering the protection upon impact.

The wind from his leg and the shadow of his claw intertwined as Wang Xiaole's strike continued to descend. Seeing the danger, the Claw Demon immediately retracted its claw and leaned its entire body backwards;

The upper half of the Claw Demon's body, including its head, tilted significantly backwards, appearing as though it was about to fall over;

How could Wang Xiaole wait for the opponent to dodge before continuing? He immediately retracted his leg and threw a punch towards the exposed abdomen.

Then the Claw Demon raised its claw horizontally, blocking above the abdomen, and skillfully used its raised elbow to counter the area where Wang Xiaole applied force, which was his elbow joint.

The battle was far from over!

Seeing that the attack failed, Wang Xiaole instantly transformed his heavy punch into a knife-hand strike, rotating his elbow joint to push the Claw Demon's elbow back;

The knife-hand strike that continued to descend did not make contact with the claw either. It suddenly angled upwards, bypassed the Claw Demon's wrist from below, and then raised vertically to cut with the knife hand.

In a moment of desperation, the Claw Demon tried everything it could, quickly moving its other arm, attempting to clasp both claws together to tear apart Wang Xiaole's palm.

The Claw Demon's reaction speed was almost successful in an instant, but it was ultimately unsuccessful because Wang Xiaole's speed was faster than the "instant" itself.

A white leg lifted high and slammed fiercely on the side of the Claw Demon's neck, causing it to lose balance before its plan could succeed, and it flew out with its center of gravity shifting upward.

Standing face to face, the side of the Demon Clan was now flying out horizontally from in front of Wang Xiaole;

This was not surprising. After all, it was Wang Xiaole himself who threw that leg;

But was this the end of it?

Far from it, the side that dominated the battlefield immediately followed in pursuit.

"You have gone too far!"

The Claw Demon shifted sideways in mid-air, and its claws collided with each other, creating an explosion that shook the high platform, and thick smoke billowed out.

After the smoke spread widely, Wang Xiaole's momentum came to a halt because his vision was obstructed.

Would the opponent still be in the same place?

If not, where would they go?

Wang Xiaole closed his eyes and focused all his attention on his ears, standing silently in that area, listening for any unusual sounds approaching him.

At some point, the ground in the distance moved, and the listener's earlobe trembled slightly.

Everything became clear!

The instigator who attempted to use the smoke as cover arrived behind Wang Xiaole in the next second, preparing to end the battle with a surprise attack.

However, the figure in front of him suddenly disappeared in place.

If that was a residual image, where did the real person go?

The answer is above!

A moment too late, Zhua Mo realized the possibility and quickly turned around, aiming a claw towards the figure that had appeared behind him.

The solidified claw's shadow immediately swept fiercely towards the suddenly appearing figure.

Facing such a ruthless attack that aimed to take his life, the moment Wang Xiaole appeared, he didn't even look at it. He lifted his wrist and clenched his fist in mid-air.

Boom!

The claw's shadow exploded in front of Wang Xiaole, no matter how fierce the previous attack was, it instantly crumbled.
