"Die!!!"
As Zhang Leitian unleashed his skill, an immense surge of sword energy erupted, tearing through the surrounding space, all of it directed toward the Thunder God King!
Whoosh!
Sensing the incoming attack, the Thunder God King's enormous body shifted in an instant, dodging the sword energy with incredible speed. The sword strikes missed their target completely.
"How is this possible?!"
Zhang Leitian's eyes widened in disbelief. His gaze filled with shock as he realized the Thunder God King's massive body wasn't just huge—it was fast and terrifyingly agile.
In the blink of an eye, the Thunder God King appeared behind Zhang Leitian, thrusting his massive lightning spear toward him. Zhang Leitian had no time to dodge and could only raise the Ye Fan Sword to block the attack.
Boom!
The tip of the gigantic lightning spear clashed with the blade of the Ye Fan Sword, sending surges of terrifying electric energy through the blade and into Zhang Leitian's body. The immense shockwaves of energy caused excruciating pain, and the sheer force of the impact sent him hurtling down toward the ground below.
Boom!
Zhang Leitian's body crashed heavily into the earth, kicking up a thick cloud of dust and debris.
"Hmph!"
"Even if you are at the peak of Nine-Star, the gap between you and a God King is vast," Qian Bailian sneered as he observed the scene from above. "Many Nine-Star Martial Gods exist, but how many can actually become God Kings?"
As he spoke, Qian Bailian sensed something amiss. His pupils contracted as he watched a figure rapidly ascend from the dust cloud below—Zhang Leitian!
Blood trickled from the corners of Zhang Leitian's mouth, and his body was scorched black in several places, looking battered and worn. But his face bore a chilling smile, one that sent shivers down the spine of all who saw it.
With his Ye Fan Sword in hand, Zhang Leitian charged at Qian Bailian with incredible speed, thrusting the blade toward him.
Clang!
Qian Bailian's expression darkened, but his reflexes were swift. He raised his own sword just in time to block the attack. The clash of their weapons created an ear-splitting metallic sound.
However, the Ye Fan Sword was far too sharp and powerful. The impact unleashed a burst of sword energy, which slammed into Qian Bailian's body, leaving deep cuts across his skin.
"Damn it..."
"If you surrender the demonic sword, I might spare your life!" Qian Bailian growled, his voice cold.
"You're the one who's about to die, and yet you still spout such nonsense!" Zhang Leitian snarled, his face twisted with rage as he continued his relentless assault, striking furiously with his sword.
Clang, clang, clang!
Each clash of their weapons rang out like thunder, filling the air with deafening noise. But suddenly, with a sharp crack, Qian Bailian's sword shattered into pieces!
"Not good!"
Qian Bailian had prepared for this. His body dissolved into a mist, narrowly avoiding the lethal blow. Zhang Leitian's strike only cut through an illusion, leaving behind no blood or flesh.
At that moment, terrifying electric energy nets formed all around Zhang Leitian, tightening as they closed in on him. It was the Thunder God King's next attack, a lethal move.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the incoming electric nets, Zhang Leitian's face twisted in frustration. He had hoped to kill Qian Bailian and absorb his blood and energy to replenish himself, but now the Thunder God King was attacking again.
Slash!
Zhang Leitian rushed forward, slashing the Ye Fan Sword in front of him. A giant sword shadow formed, cutting the electric nets in half. The nets instantly disintegrated, giving him an opening to surge forward and avoid the remaining attacks.
"You think you can kill me so easily, Thunder God King?!"
Zhang Leitian roared defiantly as the Thunder God King prepared to strike again with his lightning spear.
Channeling his energy into the Ye Fan Sword, Zhang Leitian swung the blade through the air.
Whoosh!
A crescent-shaped energy wave shot skyward, tearing a massive rift in the sky. From the rift, a huge black arm emerged, crashing down toward the Thunder God King!
The Thunder God King's eyes narrowed. Instinctively, he raised his lightning spear and thrust it at the descending demonic arm.
Boom!
The clash of the spear and the demonic fist sent shockwaves rippling through the battlefield. To everyone's astonishment, the Thunder God King was forced back by the sheer force of the blow.
"Impossible!"
Qian Bailian's eyes widened in disbelief as he witnessed the Thunder God King being pushed back.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Leitian laughed coldly, but he knew well that the Demonic Claw wasn't enough to kill the Thunder God King. It merely bought him some time to deal with another pressing issue—Qian Bailian.
The old man was at the peak of Nine-Star, and Zhang Leitian knew he had to kill him quickly to absorb his blood and energy. In his current state, Bloodthirsty Rampage and Blood Burst Rage were consuming his life force too quickly.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Zhang Leitian appeared before Qian Bailian.
"Old man, die!!!"
Zhang Leitian roared as he brought the Ye Fan Sword down with all his might.
