"Little bug, die!"
Meng Niu, having materialized his demonic form, swung his crimson battle axe—which had grown to match his colossal size—at the Demon-Slaying Scythe!
The ten-zhang-tall axe descended with a roar, the wind howling as if to split the heavens and earth!
The arena floor cracked and split beneath the impact!
Yet the barrier surrounding the arena merely trembled slightly, sustaining no damage.
The full-powered strike had missed the Demon-Slaying Scythe entirely.
The scythe darted and weaved, leaving only afterimages flickering across the arena floor. Meanwhile, over a dozen bloody wounds appeared on Meng Niu's body.
The Demon-Slaying Scythe landed at Meng Niu's feet with a mocking gesture, its mouth lapping at the blood-stained blade.
Though demonic beasts differed from monstrous beasts and couldn't transform into human form, that didn't mean they lacked intelligence.
Demonic beasts that reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm possessed a certain level of sentience.
Meng Niu stamped his foot in fury, wishing he could crush this insect with a single stomp!
But he quickly regained his composure, slowly shrinking his body back to his half-demonic form.
He realized that his massive demonic form made him even more vulnerable to the Demon-Slaying Scythe.
The scythe's speed was astonishing, and Meng Niu, who lacked agility, could only rely on brute force—which proved utterly useless in catching it.
It was better to maintain the optimal posture.
The Demon-Slaying Scythe seemed to sneer as it watched Meng Niu transform into his half-demon form.
With a swift movement, its figure blurred into a streak of motion, two cold blades hurtling toward Meng Niu's neck!
If those blades struck true, they would sever his head instantly!
Ning Yechen's eyes narrowed slightly, preparing to intervene at the last moment. After all, Meng Niu had been with him for many years, and the child was fond of him. His death would deeply sadden her...
Just as Ning Yechen was about to act, he saw Meng Niu's lips curl into a triumphant and arrogant grin.
As the Demon-Slaying Scythe's blades descended, Meng Niu instantly crouched, allowing the blades to embed themselves in his horns!
To everyone's astonishment, the blades did not cleave through his horns but became lodged in them!
The onlookers stared in disbelief.
*Such hard horns!*
The Demon-Slaying Scythe, said to be capable of severing even immortal weapons, had been stopped!
Sensing danger, the Demon-Slaying Scythe frantically tried to withdraw its blades, but it was too late.
Meng Niu seized the opportunity, grabbing the scythe's blades with both arms, a 'friendly' smile spreading across his face.
"Finally, Grandpa Niu has caught you, little bug~!!!"
*Crack!*
As the words left his mouth, a crisp sound rang out as Meng Niu forcefully snapped the Demon-Slaying Scythe's scythe arms!
The Demon-Slaying Scythe was light and agile, its tough armor mostly covering its body, with particularly vulnerable joints.
Under Meng Niu's brute force, the arms were snapped with ease.
*Hiss hiss hiss!*
The Demon-Slaying Scythe let out a pained hiss as its arms broke.
Meng Niu swiftly pulled the scythe from his ox horn and severed all of the Demon-Slaying Scythe's legs with a single strike!
*Now let's see this little bug try to run!*
The Demon-Slaying Scythe collapsed to the ground, its green blood spraying wildly with each thrashing movement.
Meng Niu discarded the scythe and approached the creature step by step, dragging his crimson battle-axe, a savage grin spreading across his face.
"Goodbye, little bug~!"
*Bang!*
The axe descended with earth-shattering force. The Demon-Slaying Scythe exploded instantly, its green blood and body fragments splattering everywhere.
Even Meng Niu was drenched in the thick, green blood.
The crowd stared in stunned silence for a moment before erupting in earth-shattering cheers.
None of them had actually expected Meng Niu to win...
"Nice one, Niu Niu!"
"We totally underestimated you!"
"I approve of you now!"
Meng Niu panted heavily, looking around at the cheering crowd in the arena. A triumphant smile spread across his face, and he raised his battle axe to the sky, letting out a thunderous roar. *What the... I'm still pretty strong after all...!*
Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying watched Meng Niu in the arena with surprise, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
*He did well...*
Luo Hongye, whose eyes had been covered throughout the entire battle, was finally allowed to open them. She pouted, her round, cute face looking a little resentful.
*Daddy kept covering my eyes... I couldn't see anything...*
Her adorable expression made Ning Yechen apologize while unable to resist pinching her chubby little cheeks.
On the arena stage, the announcer pointed at Meng Niu and declared loudly:
"What an unexpectedly thrilling duel!"
"I announce the victor of this match is—"
"Meng Niu!!!"
"ROAR ROAR ROAR!"
The crowd erupted in renewed cheers.
At the very top of the Eternal Night Cage arena, a massive screen materialized like a glowing display.
Meng Niu's name blazed across the virtual screen, his win count changing from 0 to 1, and his rank displayed as 114514.
A staff member stepped forward to congratulate Meng Niu:
"Congratulations on surviving."
"You can rest for a while now. Your next match will be in a few days."
"There's... there's another match?!"
Meng Niu's eyes widened like copper bells at the news.
"Yes~"
"Lord Left Protector said you, along with the other two, will be staying here for the time being~"
"Also, when you're not competing, Lord Left Protector said he'll personally train you~"
The staff member smiled.
Meng Niu's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed unconscious...
Luo Ruying looked up at the floating screen displaying the rankings, her beautiful eyes widening slightly.
The top spot was clearly held by Night Demon Chen, with over 9,999 wins.
The second-place competitor had only just over 1,000 wins.
The gap between first and second place was as vast as a chasm.
Moreover, the name Night Demon Chen felt strangely familiar...
Luo Ruying thought hard, then suddenly turned to Ning Yechen beside her, her red lips parting slightly. She pointed at the screen and asked, "Husband, did you also compete here once...?"
She remembered!
The Demon Sovereign, Night Demon Chen, was none other than Ning Yechen!
Ning Yechen smiled, a look of helpless pride on his face, as if his wife had discovered his secret. "b( ̄▽ ̄)d"
"Yes, your husband spent some time here in the past~"
"But that was a long time ago~"
"Nothing to brag about, really. I just got first place. Best left unmentioned~"
Luo Ruying: "..."
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her expression one of speechless exasperation.
She suddenly felt he'd brought her here specifically to boast about his glorious past achievements...
Just then, the competition had concluded, and the host noticed Ning Yechen, Luo Ruying, and their group's arrival. He was overjoyed and immediately greeted them respectfully:
"Demon Sovereign, Lady, and our dear little princess~"
"Demon Sovereign, you haven't visited in so long~"
"Your presence truly brings unparalleled glory to the Eternal Night Cage~"
"Your achievements remain the greatest and most legendary in the history of the Eternal Night Cage~"
"Unsurpassed to this day~!"
The others present also noticed Ning Yechen and his group and joined in the greetings.
The host bowed slightly and gestured invitingly, respectfully requesting:
"May we inquire if the Demon Sovereign would still be inclined to ascend the Eternal Night Cage once more?"
"We eagerly await the chance to behold your supreme majesty once again~"
