He disdainfully said, "With that appearance, you want to become the Demon King? Truly boastful."

This statement completely ignited the fury in Bashan Tiger and Yi Hailong’s hearts. The two little monsters charged forward proactively, and as soon as they made a move, they noticed a change in themselves. Apparently, the continuous grinding of the green stone had invisibly enhanced their physique and mana. By now, they were no longer the naive beings they once were.

Their robust mana seemed endless, and their strengthened bodies also harbored immense strength. Bashan Tiger, with a gentle punch, sent an approaching little monster flying, feeling his own strength, his eyes flickered with disbelief.

"Haha, a bunch of weaklings, let Grandpa Bashan Tiger keep you company."

The situation turned into a one-sided affair; after their enhancement, Bashan Tiger and Yi Hailong’s combat power was no longer something these little monsters could match. In a short while, a group of little monsters lay on the ground, continuously wailing.

Bashan Tiger blew on his fist, a smug look flashing across his face as he said, "Ah, truly too weak."

Upon seeing this, Lin Fang slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth; he realized that when it came to acting tough, Bashan Tiger was definitely first-rate.

"Don’t get too smug too soon. My king will be here soon, and then you’ll get yours," one little demon painfully clutched his stomach but still remembered to talk tough.

"Psh, even if your king comes, I’ll still beat him up the same, my fists aren’t vegetarian," said Bashan Tiger, full of pride.

However, reality always slaps you in the face this quickly; his words had yet to finish when a rod wrapped in flames shot down from the sky with the speed of lightning.

Lin Fang had already sensed this attack, and with a fragment of green stone, he altered the direction of the spear, making it whiz past Bashan Tiger.

This incident frightened Bashan Tiger, and he broke out in a cold sweat. The sharp spear carried an incredibly sharp aura. At that instant, he thought he had faced death.

"What a boastful little monster, I’ll roast you into charcoal," a childish voice emanated from the sky.

The group looked up only to see a monster with the body of an apprentice standing in the air, his body enveloped in roaring flames, the scorching aura palpable even from such a distance.

"The King!"

A group of little monsters lying on the ground emitted a cry of surprise; the newcomer was none other than the Holy Infant King, Red Boy.

Red Boy, looking at his subordinates lying around, slightly furrowed his brow and said, "What useless trash, you’ve completely lost face for me."

With a slight stretch of his hand, the Silver Spear stuck in the ground returned to his hand. As the spear lightly traced through the sky, a wave of scorching aura swept over.

Lin Fang, without changing his expression, took three little monsters into the Glazed Glass Tower; after all, the upcoming battle was no longer something they could withstand.

The scorching flames were about to reach Lin Fang’s face when an invisible barrier appeared, formed by Lin Fang’s manipulation of mana, showing that his control over mana had reached an exquisitely detailed level.

The flames crashed into the barrier, causing ripples but still failing to break through.

"Who are you, and where do you come from? State your name quickly," Red Boy shouted loudly, his posture indeed resembling that of a Demon King, only his childish voice slightly undermining his authority.

"I am but a solitary wanderer, why should you care, Your Majesty? Why not just let me go?" Lin Fang said with a slight wave of his hand.

"You think you can hit my men and leave? You must think I, the Holy Infant King, am easily bullied. Today, you shall not leave this place," Red Boy had no intention of making peace, especially since he had just seen a Fox Spirit by Lin Fang’s side.

He loathed Fox Spirits the most. If it weren’t for that detestable Fox Spirit, his parents would not have turned against each other, preventing his family from being together. He had sworn long ago to kill every Fox Spirit that entered his territory.

Lin Fang sensed the murderous intent in Red Boy and sighed inwardly, realizing that the situation was dire and that Red Boy was intent on killing him.

Thus, he didn’t waste any more words and took the initiative to attack, swiftly moving to Red Boy’s side and drawing his Treasured Sword to strike.

Red Boy met him with his spear, and the two began to fight in the sky.

In terms of Mana depth and physical strength, Red Boy was no match for Lin Fang, and once Lin Fang closed in, Red Boy appeared somewhat flustered, especially since the weapon in his hand was long and awkward to use at close range.

Consequently, he quickly fell into a disadvantage, being pressed by Lin Fang. The proud and haughty Red Boy was not used to such humiliation and immediately burst into flames with rage.

A scorching blaze surged from his body, turning the entire sky red.

Seeing the enraged Red Boy, Lin Fang slightly furrowed his brow. This brat’s close combat skills were mediocre, but his mastery of the Fire Technique was profound, evident from the terrifying heat of the flames that leaked out.

The two continued to fight in the sky, the sparks from their battle setting the forest below ablaze, transforming the area into a sea of fire.

As the environment around him changed, Lin Fang slowly noticed that Red Boy’s strength seemed immensely boosted.

Soon, Red Boy resisted Lin Fang’s attacks, retreated a few steps, and spit out flames. It was the legendary Samadhi True Fire, which enveloped Lin Fang in the blink of an eye.

Red Boy took a careful look at the flames and, noticing that Lin Fang’s figure had disappeared, he laughed, "Looks formidable, but he’s just a weakling. My Samadhi True Fire took him out instantly; how unsatisfying."

But reality hit him hard. Although Lin Fang’s figure had indeed disappeared, a small Glazed Glass Tower stood proudly amidst the flames.

The Samadhi True Fire continuously burned the tower, yet it couldn’t inflict any damage. Instead, the tower became even more crystal clear, with some impurities being burned away.

When the flames subsided, the Glazed Glass Tower shone brilliantly, forcing the dazzled Red Boy to close his eyes.

At that moment, Lin Fang suddenly appeared, rushed to Red Boy’s side, and delivered a fierce punch.

However, the punch had no effect on Red Boy, because at that moment, he seemed to have transformed into an incarnation of flame, and Lin Fang’s punch only hit the flames.

"Impressive!" Lin Fang couldn’t help but commend aloud. This move of Red Boy’s was unexpected, showing his control and understanding of flame.

Lin Fang felt profoundly enlightened. Being someone who could deduce the Heart Fire Technique and who had studied the way of fire intensively, he clearly understood the impressiveness of Red Boy’s move and also learned quite a bit from it, at least pointing him in the right direction for his practice of Fire Technique.

However, Red Boy was not going to go easy on Lin Fang just because of his commendation.
