Chapter 39

Although Yudou had not learned any systematic martial arts, in terms of speed, strength, and reaction, he completely dominated the demon, making it impossible for the demon to be his match.

Although the demon had a tenacious vitality, without the so-called special weapons, Yudou could not kill it, but subduing it was no problem at all.

As the fight progressed, the demon, who had initially been in a superior position, was completely overpowered by Yudou, losing all its spirit.

Indeed, at first, the demon thought Yudou was just an ordinary demon like himself, but no matter how he looked at it, Yudou, despite being smaller, was much stronger.

In this world, a demon's strength is determined by the number of humans it has devoured. No matter how he looked at it, the demon could not have devoured as many humans as he had.

Unlike ordinary demons that attack a single family, he relied on his ability to move quickly on all fours, attacking an entire village every night.

Through continuous devouring, he could feel his strength growing, even close to awakening his own "Blood Demon Art."

Therefore, the Four-Limbed Demon was quite confident in his strength, even to the point of believing that unless he encountered one of the "Twelve Demon Moons" under the Demon King, no ordinary demon could be his match.

This was why, when Yudou appeared, he did not take him seriously at all.

Once the battle began, the Four-Limbed Demon's initial confidence was instantly shattered by Yudou.

Despite having devoured so many humans, when he faced Yudou in a direct confrontation, it was his own arm that was crippled.

His pride in his mobility, which allowed him to move swiftly on all fours, was also completely useless against Yudou. The Four-Limbed Demon could not even see how Yudou moved, but he would always appear behind him, either twisting his neck or breaking his limbs.

Although he could not die as a demon, he did not like being tortured.

After a short fight, the Four-Limbed Demon realized that he and the man before him were not on the same level.

He even speculated that Yudou might be one of the "Twelve Demon Moons," because even those demons with "Blood Demon Art" could not be so terrifying.

Moreover, Yudou had not even used his "Blood Demon Art" from the beginning, but had already completely dominated him with his physical strength alone.

After being beaten repeatedly, the Four-Limbed Demon chose to surrender and begged for mercy from Yudou.

"Brother... this brother, we are all demons. Even if your strength far exceeds mine, you cannot kill me.

If you want the food in this village, I'll give these people to you. I can go find other prey.

Humans, there are plenty of them in this world. If we keep fighting each other, by the time the sun comes up, we'll both be done for."

The Four-Limbed Demon, now under Yudou's foot, could not remember how many times his head had been crushed.

He had thought about surrendering and fleeing, but each time he was caught by Yudou's faster speed and pinned to the ground again.

The Four-Limbed Demon thought Yudou was angry because he had provoked him, so he surrendered, hoping Yudou would let him go.

It was already close to dawn, and if they continued, they would not have time to hunt and would be turned to ashes by the sunlight.

"Who says I'm a man-eating demon like you? I am of the ghost race, understand? Unlike you lowly beings who cannot function without consuming flesh and blood, I am a noble ghost.

Moreover, it is you who fear the sunlight. When did I ever say I fear it?"

While responding to the Four-Limbed Demon, Yudou continued to crush his head with his foot.

This was not because Yudou enjoyed torturing his opponent, but because he was experimenting to see if demons could truly not be killed by ordinary means.

Through multiple killings, Yudou found that although the Four-Limbed Demon could regenerate, the speed of his recovery was slowing down each time.

It was clear that the demon's recovery was not without a cost, but required the consumption of some internal energy.

Although there were no special weapons, if Yudou could kill the demon enough times in a short period, he could probably finish it off.

As dawn approached, the first rays of the sun began to peek over the horizon, and the Four-Limbed Demon under Yudou's foot started to struggle frantically.

He knew that sunlight was like poison to them. Even the "Twelve Demon Moons" could not survive in the sunlight, let alone their Demon King. To save his life, the Four-Limbed Demon struggled desperately.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, Yudou's foot was like a pillar, pinning him to the ground.

To the Four-Limbed Demon, Yudou was a madman!

He did not believe that there could be a man-eating demon in this world that could survive in the sunlight.

Their Demon King had been working for years to achieve this. If any random man-eating demon could do it, what was the point of their Demon King?

So, to the Four-Limbed Demon, Yudou was a simple suicidal man who wanted to take him down with him.

The Four-Limbed Demon even regretted provoking such a madman. There were plenty of villages, and he had risked his life for a mere quarrel.

As the sun slowly rose, the golden rays pierced through the thick clouds, illuminating the entire land.

The moment the sunlight hit, the Four-Limbed Demon under Yudou's foot let out an unprecedented scream. His feet, exposed to the sunlight, began to emit thick black smoke and turn to ashes.

The intense pain and deep resentment made the Four-Limbed Demon look at Yudou with extreme anger. Even if he was to die, he wanted to see Yudou turn to ashes first.

But when he saw Yudou's appearance, the Four-Limbed Demon began to doubt his existence. Could there really be a demon in this world that was not afraid of sunlight?
