Chapter 115 - Chapter 115: Same Level, Different Strength

Bai Tza stared straight ahead, her ferocious eyes sharp and predatory like a hawk's.

A roar burst from her throat.

Shrill. Harsh.

Like a night owl screaming through the darkness.

"Shendu… so you really resurrected us," she said coldly. "You did a fine job."

Her gaze shifted slightly, sensing something amiss.

"However, it seems there are some uninvited guests here."

Her voice turned razor-sharp.

"Aren't you going to stand up and give everyone a proper explanation?"

Behind her, extremely sharp fins rose from her back, gleaming with a cold, metallic light—like blades forged for slaughter. Her palms, wrapped in cyan wristbands, were covered by a transparent webbed membrane, thin like tulle yet clearly lethal.

Her long, broad, and powerful tail swayed lazily behind her, each movement carrying the implied force to shatter mountains and crush stone.

This fearsome existence—one of the Eight Demon Sorcerers—was infamous for her ruthlessness, cunning, and overwhelming power. Her perception and reaction speed far surpassed that of ordinary beings, allowing her to sense even the subtlest shift in the battlefield and respond in an instant, swift and decisive like a cunning rabbit evading death.

"My dear brothers and sisters!"

A trembling voice suddenly echoed from the sky.

Above them, fire clouds churned violently, rolling like furious waves.

Two enormous fire dragons emerged from the flames, pulling an extravagant sedan as it slowly descended from the clouds.

Seated within was none other than the infamous Fire Demon Sorcerer—Shendu!

A blazing aura poured from his body.

He was like a living inferno, endless heat and power radiating outward as Bagua-like runes shimmered around him, resonating with the Li Trigram, the symbol of fire and passion.

Among the Eight Demon Sorcerers, Shendu ranked near the top. His presence alone was like a scorching sun—so radiant and overwhelming that no one dared to look directly at him for long.

The moment he appeared, all eyes were drawn to him.

His true form towered above the battlefield: a tall, powerful demon with a dragon's head, muscles packed with explosive strength, brimming with boundless destructive power. A massive dragon tail extended behind him, majestic and terrifying. Every swing carried scorching winds and blazing flames.

He was ferocious and cruel like a jackal or tiger, cunning like a fox, insidious and vicious like a serpent. Greedy beyond measure, treacherous by nature, he broke promises without hesitation and twisted every scheme to serve his ambitions.

No matter the cost, he would see his will fulfilled.

This was Shendu—exactly as history recorded him.

Endless malice and demonic auras surged outward like a plague spilling forth from hell itself.

"Jade-chan… Viper… do monsters like this really exist in your world?"

Miyamoto Rei asked quietly, doubt written across her face.

Viper shook her head.

"I don't know," she admitted. "I've heard of Shendu… but I've never seen his true form before."

Jade-chan nodded seriously.

"I know Shendu. He's a demon lord. As for the others… I don't know much either."

She had only heard legends about the remaining demons—never witnessed them firsthand.

Though they were confused by the sudden turn of events, it was clear that Shendu and the other demons were preparing to confront the massive monster and shadow armies head-on.

For now… that wasn't a bad thing.

At the very least, they were a powerful fighting force for this world.

"Dad… what's going on?"

Jackie Chan stared at the demons who had appeared so suddenly, his heart unsettled.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether they were allies… or enemies.

His father's expression grew grave. He frowned deeply and spoke in a heavy voice.

"They are the Eight Demon Sorcerers who once ruled the world in ancient times."

"Shendu used a forbidden history book capable of altering the flow of time itself to resurrect all eight great demons—including himself—who once enslaved humanity."

"If they are demons," the Ox Warrior said bluntly, "then they must represent evil."

Demons had always been synonymous with destruction.

Yet at this moment, they stood on the same side.

Now, the Eight Demon Sorcerers could no longer be treated as simple enemies.

Because everyone shared a common foe—

Yami Tsukishiro, and the monster and shadow armies under his command.

"Oh?"

This scene failed to spark much interest.

The earlier battle had been painfully dull. What truly surprised him, however, was how uneven the strength of these so-called Eight Demon Sorcerers turned out to be.

Hsi Wu, Xiao Fung, and Po Kong possessed only Level Five combat strength.

Dai Gui, Tchang Zu, and Bai Tza were slightly stronger.

But the most eye-catching figures were Shendu and Tchang Zu, both standing at the peak.

Two supreme Demon Sorcerers—

Each wielding terrifying power at Level Seven.

After receiving the Shadow Power bestowed by Yami Tsukishiro, the Ten Shadow Generals advanced significantly in strength.

Tarakudo had already stepped into the Sixth Level.

Although the remaining nine generals were slightly inferior, each of them still possessed terrifying Fifth-Level combat power.

Among all of them, however, the strongest was without question—

Yami Tsukishiro himself.

Even though there were two Seventh-Level Demon Sorcerers among the Eight Demons, Yami Tsukishiro showed no trace of panic.

Before arriving here, he had decisively spent 250,000 Magic Stones, forcibly elevating the Dragon Monarch Meme to the Seventh Level.

Facing the Eight Demon Sorcerers—each baring their fangs and claws—

Yami Tsukishiro remained calm and composed.

He intended to make these arrogant demons understand one simple truth:

Even if they stood at the same Seventh Level,

their actual strength was worlds apart.

The Holy Spirit opened its blood-soaked maw, flames erupting outward like a roaring fire dragon.

"Boy… wouldn't it be wiser to kneel and beg for mercy?"

Its razor-sharp claws pointed directly at Yami Tsukishiro, like blades ready to tear him apart.

Faced with the provocation, Yami Tsukishiro merely lifted the corner of his mouth and replied calmly:

"I don't think so. So… what are you planning to do now?"

"Hehehe… of course I'll kill you—kill you—and devour you!"

Amid shrill, malicious laughter—

Hsi Wu, the Sky Demon Sorcerer, lunged forward like a specter, tearing through the air toward Yami Tsukishiro.

Yami Tsukishiro sneered inwardly.

This demon was clearly overestimating himself.

At that moment—

A black shadow flashed forth like lightning, cutting off Hsi Wu's path.

It was Bart, the Shadow General of the Shadow Wings, stepping forward with overwhelming presence.

Hsi Wu's eyes burned with fury.

"You dare send only one shadow soldier to face me?" he roared.

"Are you looking down on me?! I am a Sky Demon Sorcerer!"

But his rage didn't last long.

The instant Bart launched his attack—

Hsi Wu's pupils shrank.

Only then did he realize—

The opponent's strength… was no weaker than his own.

"How… how is this possible?!"

Hsi Wu roared in fury, grinding his teeth as his voice echoed across the battlefield.

"How could a mere member of the Black Shadow Corps be this powerful?!"

His rage surged uncontrollably.

He had assumed Bart was nothing more than an ordinary shadow soldier—an expendable pawn.

But reality struck him mercilessly.

High above, the clouds churned violently, rolling like enraged waves as they twisted together into a massive tornado. Winds screamed, pressure crashed downward—

Yet no matter how far Hsi Wu pushed himself,

no matter how violently the storm howled—

He still couldn't break through Bart's defense.

Seeing this, Bai Tza immediately shouted, her voice sharp and furious.

"Idiots! Stop wasting time—attack together!"

The moment her command rang out—

Thunder exploded.

The earth roared.

Except for Shendu and Tchang Zu, all the remaining Demon Sorcerers who attempted to advance were intercepted mid-charge.

Shion stepped forward, gripping a spear that shone with blinding brilliance.

That light was like the first glow of dawn—pure, piercing, as though it could end all things.

She stood firm, unmoving, like an indestructible fortress, directly blocking Tchang Zu, whose thunder and lightning crackled violently around him.

Her eyes were steady as stone as she shouted without the slightest hesitation:

"Don't even think about taking another step forward!"

"Haha—and you too!"

Kaen laughed loudly, her voice ringing like a great bell.

In the same instant, she raised the Sword of Victory high above her head and drove it down with all her strength, her strike carrying the momentum of splitting the earth itself in two.

BOOM!

A deafening explosion erupted.

The ground trembled violently.

The earth split apart in an instant.

That overwhelming force tore through the terrain and forcibly drove Bai Tza's body up from below, breaking her momentum.

A massive, shadowy beast surged forward menacingly as deathly white mist poured outward. Strange blue flames ignited within the fog—rising like a fire dragon into the sky—tightly wrapping around the raging waves Bai Tza had transformed into.

Surrounded by those eerie flames—

Bai Tza could no longer maintain her wave form.

With no other choice, she was forced to revert to her original body.

"No one is allowed to tarnish the master's dignity."

Ella's figure slowly emerged from within the white mist, her presence dreamlike and unreal.

Her soft, ethereal voice echoed calmly across the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Po Kong and Xiao Fung found themselves completely surrounded.

Four powerful Shadow Generals closed in from all sides, their oppressive presence pressing down like a mire.

The two Demon Sorcerers were dragged into a crushing swamp of shadows—unable to escape.
