“A mere human dares to harbor designs on my woman? I will grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes!”
The Magic Stone Colossus let out a thunderous roar at Chen Ning.
“Your woman?”
Chen Ning was genuinely amused.
“You’re made entirely of stone, yet you’re still thinking about women? Even if you really had one, what could you possibly do? It’s a complete cock-and-bull story—literally.”
“What did you say? Even if I don't have a physical body, I... I...”
“Damnable human, I will kill you!”
The Magic Stone Colossus tried to argue, but it found itself unable to refute him.
Having its sore spot poked, it instantly flew into a rage. With a furious roar, the demons and beasts of the entire forest couldn't help but tremble.
“If you want to kill me, come and try. Unfortunately, I doubt you have the strength.”
After just shattering a rock, Chen Ning felt his hands itching for more action. He hadn't expected a live target to come looking for him so soon.
“Arrogant human! Who gave you such confidence?!”
The Magic Stone Colossus roared in anger, and its massive fist came crashing down from the sky.
“Sword Immortal, run!”
Bi Xin let out a cry of alarm. With such terrifying power, she felt that even Chen Ning shouldn't be able to face it head-on.
However, Bi Xin soon discovered that Chen Ning hadn't left. Instead, he stood his ground, throwing a punch directly toward the sky.
Boom!
As the two fists collided, a massive shockwave exploded outward, causing the entire forest to vibrate and the mountains to shake!
Chen Ning hadn't just blocked the punch; he had done so with remarkable ease.
A layer of golden light covered the surface of his fist, and a layer of Purple Qi shrouded the outside of that golden light.
Under these dual barriers, no matter how monstrous the force was, it couldn't shake Chen Ning’s figure in the slightest.
“How is this possible?”
The stone face of the Magic Stone Colossus instantly froze.
It never imagined that a human could actually withstand its punch head-on.
“Bastard, die!”
Whether out of anger or fear, the Magic Stone Colossus acted as if it had gone mad, raising its fists and smashing them recklessly toward the ground.
But it soon realized that Chen Ning was nimbly weaving through the gaps in its attacks.
Not only did its fists fail to hit him even once, but on the ground, two identical figures had somehow appeared without it noticing...
However, the Magic Stone Colossus's mind was already in a state of chaos, and it had no time to think about such things.
“An opening!”
Finally, it noticed a flaw.
Chen Ning, who had leaped into mid-air, not only slowed down significantly but also happened to be hovering right in the path of its right fist.
It was a perfect opportunity!
“Haha! That damnable human has finally run out of stamina! Die like a mosquito being swatted!”
The Magic Stone Colossus gathered all its strength and slammed its fist down.
Crack!
However, in the next moment, the Magic Stone Colossus let out a scream of agony.
It had used too much force in this punch.
While it hit Chen Ning, it also simultaneously struck its own left arm joint. More than half of its arm went flying off.
But even so, the Magic Stone Colossus still appeared somewhat excited.
No matter what, as long as it could kill that human, everything was worth it!
“Haha! Just as I said, a mere human dares to attempt a provocation—”
But before it could finish its sentence, its movements suddenly froze.
Where was the human corpse in its hand? Lying there was nothing more than a small paper figure.
This bastard human had actually used a paper puppet to trick it into losing an arm!
“Are you done hitting me?”
At that moment, a cold laugh suddenly reached the Magic Stone Colossus's ear.
Unbeknownst to it, Chen Ning was already standing on its shoulder.
“Human, you dare?!”
Before it could finish, Chen Ning’s punch shot out like a flood dragon emerging from its cave.
Bang!
The stone on half of the Magic Stone Colossus's face flew off, and its body stumbled.
As it struggled to stabilize itself...
“Mountain-Collapsing Punch.”
Another punch followed immediately. The terrifying force wrapped around the fist sent the Magic Stone Colossus flying.
Golden radiance permeated Chen Ning’s arms, and his entire body radiated a scorching heat.
He found these few punches quite satisfying.
Unfortunately, while the Magic Stone Colossus looked large, it was both stupid and fragile, nowhere near as durable as he had imagined.
“Let's end this quickly, then.”
Chen Ning leaped up and stomped his foot directly onto the Magic Stone Colossus's chest.
Rumble!
The stones on the Magic Stone Colossus's body shattered and collapsed, and its massive frame crashed to the ground.
Behind it, the impact crushed over a dozen large trees.
In the next second, Chen Ning landed on the Magic Stone Colossus's head, his fist reflecting the blended light of gold and purple.
Even before the punch landed, the Magic Stone Colossus was already terrified by that horrific force.
“I give up! I give up! At worst, I’ll give all those female demons to you as concubines! I’ll just leave, alright?!”
The Magic Stone Colossus shook its head repeatedly with a mournful face, its cowardice a complete transformation from its earlier persona.
“Give them to me as concubines?
Even if I agreed, my maid might not.
Besides, who can guarantee you won't come back later?”
Of course, what Chen Ning truly cared about was the system reward.
Although the Magic Stone Colossus was stupid, a creature this large should surely be worth a lot of Noble Qi.
“However, I can give you a chance. As long as you can defeat the fellow inside here, you'll have a chance to live.”
Reaching out, the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda manifested in Chen Ning’s palm.
He had only unlocked the first floor of the pagoda, so he could only imprison one more demon at most.
As for who would survive inside the pagoda, that would depend on their strength.
“This... what on earth is this tower?!”
The moment the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda opened, the scorching heat radiating from within made the Magic Stone Colossus feel as if it were about to melt instantly.
It couldn't imagine the desperate pain it would endure if it were imprisoned there.
“No! I promise I won't lust after women anymore! Let me go! Please, don't lock me in a place like that!”
The Magic Stone Colossus pleaded desperately, but the first-floor gate of the pagoda had already fully opened.
A powerful suction force enveloped it. No matter how much the Magic Stone Colossus struggled, it couldn't break free from this terrifying pull.
Soon, its body shrank continuously under the shroud of the pagoda’s seven-colored light, and it was finally sucked inside.
A series of shrill wails echoed from within the pagoda.
Shortly after entering, the Magic Stone Colossus seemed to have already begun fighting the Painted Skin Ghost.
But given the combat power of the two demons, it would likely take a while for a winner to be decided.
“Lord Sword Immortal is truly far stronger than the legends say.”
Even after everything ended, Bi Xin still hadn't fully recovered from the shock.
That heart-stopping fight just now could practically be passed down as a myth among the Vine Demon race!
“But... where did the Magic Stone Colossus go?” Bi Xin asked in confusion.
Seeing such a massive body suddenly vanish, she almost thought her eyes were playing tricks on her.
“In this small tower.”
Chen Ning displayed the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda in his palm.
The appearance of this seven-colored pagoda was clearly exquisite and beautiful, yet the moment they saw it, Bi Xin and Qing Yan both involuntarily trembled.
Chen Ning smiled and said, “Don't be fooled by its size; the texture and feel are actually quite comfortable.
Bi Xin is a demon, so she probably wouldn't dare approach this thing. How about you give it a touch, Qing Yan?”
“I’ll pass, Young Master. I’m not interested.”
Qing Yan hurriedly waved her hands repeatedly.
“It’s just a touch. You’re not a demon, Qing Yan, so what is there to be afraid of?”
Chen Ning moved the pagoda a bit closer.
Instantly, Qing Yan hid behind Bi Xin, shivering, with tears seemingly glistening in her eyes.
Only then did Chen Ning laugh and withdraw the pagoda.
Although it sounded a bit mean, bullying his silly little fox maid was indeed one of the great joys of life!
Probing his spiritual sense back into the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, Chen Ning found that the battle inside had already reached its end.
When it first entered the tower, the Magic Stone Colossus had been at a disadvantage because it was unfamiliar with the environment.
But as it gradually adapted to the temperature, its combat power began to climb steadily.
The Painted Skin Ghost was certainly an ancient demon far more powerful than the Magic Stone Colossus.
However, because it had lost the power supply from all its Painted Skin Slaves, and on top of that, had been beaten nearly to death by Chen Ning, even its soul was tattered and incomplete.
Consequently, it was soon suppressed by the Magic Stone Colossus and finally driven into a dead end.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the Magic Stone Colossus completely shattered the Painted Skin Ghost's soul with a single punch.
The battle concluded with the Painted Skin Ghost’s Soul Dissipation.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Chen Ning was quite satisfied with this result.
After all, compared to the murderous and insidious Painted Skin Ghost, this big lug of a Magic Stone Colossus seemed much more endearing.
In addition to punishing demons, the flames within the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda could also temper their physical bodies to a certain extent.
He estimated that by the time it came out next, the Magic Stone Colossus’s strength would have improved significantly.
【Obliterated the remnant soul of the Painted Skin Ghost, obtained 30 Noble Qi】
【Successfully subdued the Magic Stone Colossus, obtained 70 Noble Qi】
【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a new Divine Ability】
The voice in his mind brought a surge of pleasant surprise to Chen Ning.
He hadn't expected to obtain another Divine Ability right before his departure!
