"D-damn it…"
Zhang Mingkuan was panting heavily, his eyes fixed on Lin San in the distance, filled with shock.
He simply couldn't believe how Lin San, a one-armed Martial God, possessed such formidable strength!
How could a man with only one arm be this powerful?
"Kid!"
"I want to fight to the death with you. Do you dare?" Zhang Mingkuan's gaze swept over the other Martial Gods, sensing their mocking expressions.
The humiliation ignited a fire of fury within him, and his anger toward Lin San only intensified.
Hearing Zhang Mingkuan's words, Lin San furrowed his brow.
He had merely intended to defeat Zhang Mingkuan, not engage in a life-or-death battle.
"Are you sure you're serious about this?" Lin San asked coldly.
The other Martial Gods watching had amused expressions on their faces.
What had been a sparring match was now escalating into something far more dangerous.
If Zhang Mingkuan was truly intent on killing Lin San, it seemed likely that Lin San wouldn't stand a chance.
"I'm asking if you dare!" Zhang Mingkuan's voice rang out as he summoned another battle axe from his storage space.
This was his backup weapon!
With his hands tightly gripping the axe, Zhang Mingkuan's face twisted into a more menacing expression.
All he wanted now was to cut Lin San down and settle his grudge.
"If you wish to fight, then I'll fight." Lin San responded coldly.
"Good!"
Zhang Mingkuan sneered and, in the next instant, charged forward, swinging his battle axe with deadly force!
Zhang Mingkuan moved at an incredible speed, closing the distance between them in a heartbeat.
At this moment, Zhang Mingkuan's eyes burned with killing intent.
He was determined to end Lin San's life.
With both hands gripping his axe, he infused it with immense energy before slashing toward Lin San's body.
Boom!
The axe came down on Lin San, but his reaction was swift.
He quickly raised the Ye Fan sword to meet the blow.
Clang!
A deafening metallic clash echoed through the air.
Lin San staggered back a few steps under the impact, while Zhang Mingkuan, too, was forced to retreat from the collision.
Damn it!
Both men had been knocked backward, their faces full of astonishment.
Zhang Mingkuan's battle axe had collided with Lin San's sword, but it was as if the sword had emitted a burst of extraordinary power at that critical moment.
"Damn you!" Zhang Mingkuan's face contorted with anger.
He gritted his teeth and rushed forward once again, his battle axe raised to deliver another powerful strike!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
As his axe sliced through the air, it emitted a series of thunderous sounds.
But Lin San was not about to engage in a head-on clash again.
Instead, his agile movements allowed him to dodge Zhang Mingkuan's strikes effortlessly.
"You think you can dodge everything?" Zhang Mingkuan roared.
In an instant, his body surged with energy, which he channeled into his battle axe.
He swung it with all his might, creating a massive axe-shaped shadow in the air!
Boom!
The giant shadow of the axe hurtled toward Lin San!
There was no way to avoid it this time!
Lin San's eyes widened as he quickly gathered his energy.
In an instant, he summoned a massive wall of flames in front of him—an enormous fire shield to block the incoming attack!
But the terrifying axe shadow cleaved through the fire shield and continued toward Lin San!
Bang!
At the critical moment, Lin San raised the Ye Fan sword and managed to block the formidable axe shadow.
The force of the impact was so immense that his feet sank into the ground.
Clenching his teeth, Lin San held firm, using all his strength to withstand the blow.
Finally, with a grunt of effort, he pulled his feet free from the dirt.
But Zhang Mingkuan was already upon him, his face twisted with murderous intent.
As soon as he got close, Zhang Mingkuan swung his battle axe again, aiming to cleave Lin San in half.
Clang!
With a swift motion, Lin San parried the strike with his sword.
"How much longer can you keep defending?" Zhang Mingkuan laughed wildly.
With both hands gripping the battle axe, he unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks, determined to slice Lin San in two!
But Lin San remained calm, continuously deflecting each blow with precision.
Clang, clang, clang—
The sound of their weapons clashing rang out across the battlefield, but it was clear that Zhang Mingkuan had the upper hand.
"He's done for. Zhang Mingkuan is going to kill that one-armed kid," one of the Martial Gods sneered as he watched.
"You're going to die!!!" Zhang Mingkuan roared furiously as he delivered another powerful slash aimed at Lin San.
Now!
Lin San's eyes widened with resolve, and at that exact moment, he swung his Ye Fan sword.
Clang!
This time, as their weapons collided, a massive shockwave erupted from the impact.
Zhang Mingkuan's battle axe shattered into countless pieces!
The shards flew in all directions, many embedding themselves into Zhang Mingkuan's body.
"Ahhh!!!"
A bloodcurdling scream burst from Zhang Mingkuan's lips.
The fragments of the shattered axe had pierced his lungs and kidneys, causing him excruciating pain.
Meanwhile, Lin San, without hesitation, pressed his advantage and charged forward with the Ye Fan sword!
No!!!
Zhang Mingkuan's eyes widened in fear.
How could his weapon shatter at such a critical moment?!
Had this kid planned it all along, merely defending until his weapon broke?
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Zhang Mingkuan's face was overtaken by sheer terror.
Ignoring the pain, he staggered backward in a desperate attempt to flee.
But Lin San was relentless, continuously thrusting his sword toward Zhang Mingkuan.
With his body injured, Zhang Mingkuan's movements were noticeably slower.
"Ahhh!!!"
He let out another agonizing scream.
