Chapter 976: Judgment Descends!
Yeah!
How did it even hit him?
Clearly, Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign had already swallowed all of Ling Zhan's bullets into the dimensional space using Dimensional Slash!
Even if the bullets had high-priority causality effects, once drawn into a dimensional space, they shouldn't have been able to hit him at all.
It wasn't just Judgment and Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereigns who were dumbfounded.
Even members of the Amethyst and Demon-Slaying Legions were stunned!
"He hit him… Commander Ling Zhan actually hit Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign!"
"No, wait… how did it hit?"
"Yeah, I couldn't even see what happened!"
"It was like it just hit all of a sudden!"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion.
They were obviously paying very close attention to this battle.
Using magic telescopes and magical satellites, they had a clear view of the battlefield.
No one could've predicted Ten Thousand Blades would suddenly be shot.
As for how he was shot…
Only Ling Zhan himself knew.
Right now…
It wasn't just one or two bullets that had struck Ten Thousand Blades—given his defense, even if Ling Zhan had hit him with one or two, it wouldn't matter.
But earlier, Ling Zhan used Mobile Shooting and fired close to fifty rounds.
All fifty bullets had landed on Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign's body.
He'd been heavily damaged.
Down on the ground, Ling Zhan had already turned his gaze to Judgment Demon Sovereign.
Why not keep targeting Ten Thousand Blades?
The reason was simple.
He was already as good as dead.
In the lower realms, SS+ rank was the pinnacle of skill level.
And an SS+ skill with 'Death Sentence' effect was terrifying—even Ten Thousand Blades, once hit, was essentially doomed.
Unless…
He used some secret art to forcibly transfer his soul into another body.
Otherwise, he was dead.
The Death Sentence status couldn't be dispelled.
It also severely suppressed healing effects.
Even Ten Thousand Blades' immense regeneration couldn't restore his HP under the Death Sentence effect.
He hadn't fully panicked yet only because his HP was high and he had many tricks.
He arrogantly believed he could somehow deal with the strange black flames.
Ling Zhan couldn't be bothered anymore.
He raised his twin guns and locked his sights on the now extremely tense Judgment Demon Sovereign.
Being targeted by Ling Zhan's aura, Judgment Demon Sovereign instantly became alert.
And internally, extremely furious.
He never imagined this puny non-specialist would dare point his guns at him!
Was this guy really planning to kill both of them here—two famed Demon Sovereigns?!
That was absurdly arrogant!
"Hmph!"
"Brat! I don't know how you hit Ten Thousand Blades, but your attacks are useless against me!"
"Allow me to personally take you down!"
With that—
Judgment Demon Sovereign dropped from the sky to the ground, closing the distance to under 100 meters.
At this level of battle, 100 meters could vanish in a blink.
And any attack could reach in an instant.
Ling Zhan calmly stared at the pitch-black Judgment Demon Sovereign with his massive axe, silently reloading his guns.
These twin guns were three-star divine weapons.
Named 'Hunter'.
They belonged to a Gunslinger in the Demon-Slaying Legion.
Ling Zhan had copied the weapon.
No words. No hesitation.
The moment Judgment Demon Sovereign got close, Ling Zhan raised his twin guns and pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang…
The twin guns' hallmark was rapid fire—firing multiple bullets in quick bursts.
The bullets were dense, with high hit rates, unlike single-shot sniper rifles—making them more accurate and mobile.
Faced with the incoming hail of black-flamed bullets, Judgment Demon Sovereign sneered and raised his hand in the air!
The next moment, it was as if an invisible hand gripped the bullets—BOOM—they warped and exploded midair.
Before they could even hit, Judgment had already neutralized them.
At the same time…
Judgment Demon Sovereign activated a magic shield forged from Ten Thousand Demons miasma.
To prevent any strange attacks from slipping through.
He had noticed…
Every bullet from this non-specialist was coated in black flames that wouldn't extinguish—once hit, it spread across the body.
Just like what was happening to Ten Thousand Blades…
He had cut away his blackened skin, but it was useless!
The fire had reached his bones and spread throughout his body.
That meant Ten Thousand Blades was now burning from the inside out.
Painful?
Extremely.
But Ten Thousand Blades had a secret art to suppress pain perception—so he didn't feel tortured.
However…
It only dulled the pain.
His HP was still rapidly draining.
The more he healed, the more alarmed he became.
Until now…
"Damn it! Damn it! DAMN IT!"
"Judgment, kill that brat already! Don't waste any more time!"
Ten Thousand Blades roared, desperately using lifesaving skills and secret arts to cling to life.
His HP had already dropped from 100% to 60%.
It was dropping way too fast!
And the healing was slower than the black flames' burn rate!
"You don't need to tell me!"
Seeing Ten Thousand Blades' condition, even Judgment Demon Sovereign's eyelid twitched.
No way he could afford to be hit by that black flame!
One hit, and he'd end up just like Ten Thousand Blades!
With that thought, Judgment slammed his axe into the ground.
Then brought his hands together—an ominous crimson loading bar appeared above his head!
The moment it appeared…
"It's here!"
"Judgment Demon Sovereign's 'Judgment Descends' skill!"
"One of his strongest moves!"
The Amethyst and Demon-Slaying Legions, though never having fought him directly, had memorized all data on this Demon Sovereign.
So when they saw the crimson loading bar, they immediately recognized it.
