Chapter 10: The Asura's Gambit

In the heart of the tumultuous battle against the formidable Cold Blooded Demon, known as the brother seeking revenge for the Smiling Demon, Leo and the demon clashed with relentless ferocity. The battlefield, scarred by the energies unleashed in their struggle, bore witness to a fierce contest of martial prowess.

The demon, adorned in dark robes that billowed with each powerful movement, conjured icy blasts that seemed to freeze the very air around him. Leo, with the celestial glove pulsating with ethereal energy, countered with swift and calculated strikes from the Asura Hand technique. The clash of their forces created shockwaves that reverberated across the battleground.

As the confrontation intensified, Leo found himself battling not only the physical might of the Cold Blooded Demon but also the chilling aura that emanated from his adversary. It was a dance of elemental forces, with Leo's fiery determination facing the cold, calculated vengeance of the demon.

In the midst of their duel, Leo became aware of the demon drawing strength from the sacrifices behind the mountain. The very essence of innocent lives fueled the demon's malevolence. In a moment of unwavering conviction, Leo, guided by his sense of justice, refused to succumb to the temptation of absorbing such tainted energy with his celestial glove.

The battle raged on for almost a day, each exchange pushing Leo to his limits. The celestial glove glowed brightly, and the Asura Hand technique left trails of energy in its wake, but the Cold Blooded Demon seemed impervious. The relentless assault drained Leo's stamina, and despite his best efforts, the scales tipped in favor of the demon.

It was then that Leo, weakened but not defeated, remembered the ancient and seldom-used Asura Destroying Fist. With a deep breath, he steeled himself for this decisive moment. As the demon, fueled by stolen energy, prepared a final devastating attack, Leo unleashed the Asura Destroying Fist, a punch that resonated with the accumulated power of righteous fury.

In a blinding burst of energy, the demon's body disintegrated, leaving behind an eerie stillness on the battlefield. The members of the White Flame Demon Cult, witnessing the fall of their vengeful leader, were gripped by shock and disbelief. The mountains, once alive with the cacophony of battle, now echoed with an eerie silence.

Simultaneously, Beast Tiger, leading the Li family forces, secured a narrow victory against Beast Crane, further solidifying the Li family's triumph. However, the cost of Leo's resolute stand against the Cold Blooded Demon became apparent as he, battered and exhausted, fell to his knees. The echoes of triumph were overshadowed by the toll it had taken on the valiant leader, marking a bittersweet victory for the Li family.
