“Get back here, Karzick!” Tang Shaoyang called out, noticing the army was ready to go at them. He might survive the two thousand Lycanthrope easily, but Karzick would not. He had chosen Karzick to be the leader of the Lycanthrope that would manage the tribe, and he did not want to lose him in this battle.

“He had made his decision, Karzick,” Tang Shaoyang tapped Karzick’s waist two times, “On top of that, you and your friends need to see a little bit of my power. How strong the man you serve is. Does he deserve your loyalty? Don’t you want to know?”

Karzick and the other former Chief Tribe looked at Tang Shaoyang. They wanted to know, but they did not want to know that by killing Tizan. The five Lycanthropes agreed that Tizan should have served Tang Shaoyang just like them. With how Tang Shaoyang treated them, they thought Tang Shaoyang would defeat Tizan into submission in the worst scenario, not expecting to make an example out of Tizan for them.

“I plan to show it once we invade the Werewolf’s territory, Weretorn Valley. But we have a volunteer here,” Tang Shaoyang walked past Karzick, “This will remind you what happens if you betray me and my empire. This is for you and your friends to see, Karzick.”

The light-golden Heavenly Energy surrounded Tang Shaoyang, forming a cocoon around him. Five seconds later, the golden cocoon broke apart, revealing the figure inside. The figure grew taller by a whole meter, his hair got longer and turned white, a pair of black wings, a pair of horns, and the black scale covered his whole body.

Karzick was the closest to Tang Shaoyang, and he felt Tang Shaoyang’s aura the most with how close he was. He could not help but take three steps back. His body moved on its own, then he fell on his knee, lowering his head. There were no words coming out of his mouth. He felt like that was just the right thing to do. Even though his body moved on its own, he felt nothing wrong about it. The same with the other five former Chief Tribes. They knelt toward Tang Shaoyang.

“Raise your head, Karzick. I am showing this to you and your people. If you lower your gaze like that, you can’t see how strong the man you serve is!”

“I apologize for my curiosity, Your Majesty. I don’t need to see how strong you are. I can feel it. I can feel how strong you are,”

After the Tang Shaoyang wave of aura, another dreadful aura spread out, dominating the open field. Lu An who turned his figure into a shadow walked next to Tang Shaoyang. He had no eyes, no nose, and no face; an entity of shadow. That was what Lu An looked like right now. He stood next to Tang Shaoyang, looking up at his brother, “Our bet is not concluded yet, Brother. This will be the deciding battle.”

Karzick looked at the entity shadow which was not less scarier than His Majesty. He understood now why the young man stood next to the Emperor.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, smiling at his younger brother, “You still can’t win even if you kill half of Tizan’s army, but you can try. We will start after my fight with Tizan, and of course, I will exclude Tizan from our bet.” He then walked closer to Tizan who had a deep frown. Despite how far Tizan was from Tang Shaoyang, he could feel the strong aura radiating from the man. The distance between them closed up, to just thirty meters.

“Why don’t you make your move? I thought you wanted to capture me. Did you cower?”

Tizan looked at the human who had no longer a human appearance. The wing, the scales, and the tail were enough to tell him what kind of creature in front of him was. Did he fear the human? Yes, he was nervous after sensing the human’s aura. However, he did not fear the human. He would still fight regardless of how strong the man in front of him was.

“You are not the only one who had the ability,” Tizan let out a howl as his body transformed. The three-meter-tall Lycanthrope grew bigger, almost doubling his size. The white bone started to come out of the wrist curved toward his finger, lining it up with the finger, forming a sharp blade. More bones started to grow out of the back, forming bone armor on his back and chest. His black eyes turned red as his nose released black smoke.

“There’s a difference between a human’s bloodline and the monster’s bloodline, huh?” Tang Shaoyang muttered. The Lycanthrope did not change to another form of creature. It still looked like Lycanthrope, but bigger and stronger.

Whoosh!

Tizan spoke no more words, taking his chance with the immediate attack while his enemy least expected him to strike. He struck the bone claw toward Tang Shaoyang’s face, wanting to crush the head with one strike. The bone claw however could not reach the face. It stopped a few centimeters away, stopped by the Heavenly Cloak that protected Tang Shaoyang’s whole body. Before Tizan could move away after his attack was stopped, something grabbed his ankle, then his vision turned upside down.

It was the tail, slamming the 5.5 meters Lycanthrope, up and down. The slam created booming noise, shaking the ground as the Lycanthrope’s army watched how their leader was played. Then Tang Shaoyang threw the giant Lycanthrope.

Tizan immediately got back on his feet, blood trickled down from the corner of his lips as the bone armor on his chest and back cracked from the impact. It had been a long time since the last time he tasted his own blood. This was the first time he suffered an injury since he awakened his bloodline. His hand shook, realizing how monstrous his enemy was.

“You are scared,” Tang Shaoyang said in a flat tone, looking into the big Lycanthrope’s eyes, “I have given you a choice, and now you have to live with the consequence of your choice.”

Tang Shaoyang used Heavenly Stride, a fast and smooth movement without making a noise, too fast for the naked eye. He was right in Tizan’s face, floating in the air, looking at the strongest Lycanthrope in the eyes, “You are scared.” He repeated the same words.

Tizan’s eyes shook, subconsciously taking a few steps back. However, his enemy was still right before his face, sticking to him closely. He let out a furious howl, brandishing his bone claw toward the chest. But it was futile as a great force hit his chest, sending his body flying backward. He still landed on his feet, coughing up the black blood before falling on his left knee, clutching his belly. He could still feel the pulsating pain on his belly even though it was just a normal punch.𝑶𝒱𝓵xt.𝔠𝑜𝓂

Tizan got up and turned around toward his army. He was about to call them up to help him, but his enemy was right behind him.

“You are Primordial Rank, but you are also too weak for a Primordial Rank. What happened?” Tang Shaoyang was speaking to himself. He had fought quite a few of the Primordial Ranks of the Divine Church. They were a lot stronger than this one Lycanthrope. They fought back even when he used the Dragon Transformation and also Slayer Energy. However, the one in front of him was too easy, too weak to fight back.

“I can’t really show Karzick a little bit of power,” After he said that, his first hit Tizan’s chin, destroying his chin up to his head. Tizan’s body shrunk as the headless body fell on the knee before falling completely to the ground. Just like that, the strongest Lycanthrope of the Andure Vale died.
