Meanwhile, Feng Ling and Tisila’s battle was still raging. The moment the fight began, Feng Ling had seized an opening and launched a powerful attack against Tisila.

After that first exchange, Feng Ling had formed an initial impression of Tisila’s strength. She was powerful—he probably couldn’t defeat her on his own.

Before long, Tisila slowly climbed back to her feet from the crater. The scales on her chest, where Feng Ling had kicked her repeatedly, were still intact. There wasn’t a single mark—not even a scrape. She was completely unharmed.

Seeing this, Feng Ling became even more certain of his suspicion.

The battle between them continued. Feng Ling had planned to use his speed advantage to launch another attack. Other Heroes were on their way here, so he wanted to buy as much time as he could—and see if he could manage to hurt Tisila.

His figure vanished in an instant as he charged at Tisila again, bringing down a powerful kick. He’d expected the attack to land just as he’d imagined. But when they were about ten meters apart, Tisila suddenly turned her head and sneered at him.

!!!

Feng Ling was horrified. A massive claw was already bearing down on him, blotting out the sky. He spun rapidly, forcing himself to change direction, and leaped onto the residential building behind Tisila. The moment his feet touched down, he leaped away again. The black claw smashed down, and the building came crashing to the ground.

When Feng Ling landed again, he’d put some distance between himself and Tisila.

He’d never imagined the second attack would go so badly right from the start, after the first had gone so smoothly. He’d thought he could use his speed to attack such a huge opponent. But to his surprise, the giant was incredibly fast, too. If he hadn’t dodged quickly just now, that swat would’ve hit him squarely.

By Feng Ling’s estimate, this Spirit Rank Tisila was close to reaching Demon Rank.

Tisila didn’t attack again. Instead, she continued speaking with an air of superiority. “That’s the difference in our strength. You’re still far too weak. Since you won’t tell me who killed my son, I’ll finish you off right here.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Tisila’s enormous body vanished on the spot.

Feng Ling’s brow furrowed, and he felt a little rattled. He carefully watched his surroundings, but he couldn’t pick up the movement of a body that huge.

So fast! Where is she?

Feng Ling’s expression was grim. His face tense, he focused on searching for Tisila.

Standing still, Feng Ling could clearly feel the air currents shifting around him. The wind howled violently. There was no doubt about it: Tisila was moving at high speed somewhere nearby.

She’s faster than me!

Just then, as Feng Ling looked ahead, trying to predict her movements from the air currents, a chill ran down his back. A suffocating pressure suddenly bore down on him from behind. It was an awful feeling, as if he could barely breathe beneath its weight.

A black claw slammed toward him with tremendous force. Feng Ling didn’t even have time to react.

Boom!!!

The slap sent Feng Ling flying. He crashed straight through a residential building and tumbled to the ground.

Gritting his teeth, Feng Ling tried to get back up. But a huge figure stood in front of him, blocking out all the sunlight.

The man froze, already bracing himself for the next crushing blow. This opponent was far too powerful. Even he was being completely overwhelmed.

Just as Feng Ling thought the outcome was decided and Tisila raised her claw to strike, a shadow flashed in from the side and slammed a heavy punch into her head.

Boom!!!

The impact sent Tisila’s massive body toppling over, interrupting her attack as well.
