Chapter 1785 - 1786: Know Others But Not Oneself
The sudden outburst of the old Water Fox was indeed unexpected. Even the Tiger Demon didn’t foresee it, facing temptation, the old Water Fox who had previously refrained from acting, chose to strike directly when given the opportunity.
However, the significant gap in strength between the two meant that, despite the old Water Fox’s sudden movements, the Tiger Demon clearly saw each step, evading the unexpected attack with a slight backward step.
Then the Tiger Demon extended its paw, grasping the old Water Fox’s hands. The old Water Fox, whose attack missed, froze in place, looking up at the Tiger Demon, now exuding an aura vastly different from before, and felt even more shocked inside.
"You’re not a Low Grade Demon Emperor, but a Superior one?!"
Since appearing in the wetland, the Tiger Demon had made several moves. Yet, in the intelligence gathered by the old Water Fox, the Tiger Demon’s strength was only that of a Low Grade Demon Emperor.
Even though the old Water Fox had early suspicions of the Tiger Demon hiding its strength, it hadn’t expected the Tiger Demon to conceal so much.
"I revealed myself as Low Grade because dealing with you only requires Low Grade. Did you think you were worth me using my true strength?"
A gap of one realm is as vast as a thousand miles, particularly for the Demon Clan, who rely less on external objects.
The old Water Fox’s strength as an Eighth Grade Demon King was indeed excellent in this wetland, but in front of the Tiger Demon, solidly a Ninth-rank Demon Emperor, it was negligible!
Bang!
With just one blow, the Tiger Demon directly sliced off half of the old Water Fox’s head, a gruesome sight that scared the Lilies nearby, making them retreat several steps, fearing the battlefield’s aftermath might catch them in it.
