BOOM!
As his fist hit one of the White King Lionesses in its behind, the impact instantly caused his hand to blast through its body, its bones cracking as blood and gore erupted from it in a roar of pain.
Fortunately for the lion, the crimson lightning didn't give it the chance to experience any further agony, as the bolts ripped its body to shreds.
Huang Shi stood in place, crimson lightning shrouding his body and making him look like a god of thunder. His golden eyes flashed with a crimson hue as he looked at the male White King Lion standing at the back, which had now started to tremble in fear.
Not only that, but the remaining two female White King Lionesses also started to tremble as they began to hesitate. Clearly, all of these spiritual beasts had started to realize that the enemy they were fighting was much stronger than them to an exaggerated extent.
I could probably stop this fight here... but that wouldn't be any fun now, would it?
He grinned with a hint of bloodthirst in his eyes. This time, he ignored all of the other lions—including the remaining ice clone, which, aside from its higher cultivation base, was basically weaker than even the female White King Lionesses—and instead focused on the male White King Lion.
WHOOSH
As crimson lightning strengthened his body, he instantly appeared right in front of his massive target. He once again raised his fist and punched straight out, crimson lightning flashing through the air.
The White King Lion, feeling the threat of death from just this simple punch, instantly forced the fear down its throat and roared in rage. Its single horn shone with a scintillating blue light as five ice clones at the 7th level of the Nascent Profound Realm appeared all around it and tried to block the attack.
Claw swipes and jaw attacks surrounded him from all directions, making him feel a slight bit of pressure. After all, even if they were just clones and could basically be destroyed with a single attack from him, they were still barely considered to be at the 7th level of the Nascent Profound Realm in terms of attack power.
His instincts told him to dodge these attacks, to find another angle, and that he would have other opportunities to land a strike. However, his fight with Huang Bai had taught him the importance of momentum, and how his style of combat was more suited to endless attacks rather than calculated plans and tactics.
Whatever. At the end of the day, it's just a matter of who has the bigger damn fist.
WHOOSH
His fist, which was already shining with crimson lightning bolts, suddenly started to shine with an even more terrifying intensity. The lightning seemed to condense on his fist, almost becoming like a liquid, as the spiritual energy and physical pressure from it seemed to make the air contort around it.

BOOM!
As his fist made contact with the numerous 7th-level White King Lion ice clones, they all shattered one by one like glass meeting a hammer. They exploded into millions of pieces, leaving him standing directly in front of the true White King Lion, which currently wore a look of pure fright on its face.
BOOM!
At the last minute, the White King Lion's single horn shone with a brilliant blue light, encasing its entire body in armor made of ice. The moment his fist made contact with the ice armor, it resisted for just a few seconds before instantly breaking in the face of his destruction attribute.
As the fist barreled toward its target, the lion—realizing it had no way out—tried its best to turn around at the last moment to dodge the attack. But obviously, unless the beast suddenly gained the ability to teleport, there was no way that would happen.
SMASH!
As his fist, wreathed in powerful crimson light, smashed into the White King Lion's face, its jaw cracked and its teeth were split in half. Its face turned into a bloody mess as one of its eyes popped from the impact, before the beast was sent flying into the distance, smashing into the ground in a massive explosion of dust.
Huang Shi stood in place, his hair shining with crimson bolts as his golden eyes looked ferocious. His entire body was wreathed in crimson lightning, making him look like a terrifying god of war.
Step. Step. Step.
One by one, he started to walk toward his target. The White King Lion, which had already forced itself to stand and was now trying to run away in fear—leaving even its companions behind—tried its best to get away from him.
Unfortunately for the beast, Huang Shi clearly had no intention of showing any mercy. This time, he raised his right hand, filling it with a terrifying crimson light.
Let's see if this works…
He tried to remember those badass lightning bolts the Greek god Zeus used in his attacks as he attempted to shape his crimson lightning into a spear. He struggled with the task; clearly, his control of his crimson lightning was nowhere near his control of his golden flames.
Lightning is the ultimate form of attack. It can pass through all manner of defense, rip through enemy lines, and destroy the enemy from within.
My lightning is not just any ordinary form of lightning; it is birthed from calamity. When I wave my hand, people will die, buildings will be destroyed, and entire cities will perish.
That is the essence of this attack. A spear, just like lightning, is used only to push forward—to stab, to slash, and to end the lives of those in front of it. Used properly, a spear is also a form of calamity.
WHOOSH!
As if responding to his enlightenment, his right hand—already glowing with a powerful crimson hue—saw the energy converge. It formed a massive 20-meter spear made of crimson lightning bolts, as the world filled the attack with spiritual energy to stabilize its form and ensure it wouldn't collapse.
Finally, he raised his hand as the crimson spear floated through the air, giving off an aura of destruction and calamity, as if it could bypass any defense and take the life of any living being.
