An Ta Yi's eyes widened as he saw Zhang Leitian charging at him.
"Courting death!"
He roared, gripping his long blade tightly and clashing with Zhang Leitian's Ye Fan Sword.
Clang—
A tremendous sound echoed as the two weapons collided. However, Zhang Leitian's strength was now overwhelming.
An Ta Yi's body was sent flying from the impact. In that moment, the Demon Claw seized An Ta Yi's body.
"Ahhhh!!!"
The Demon Claw gripped An Ta Yi tightly. In an instant, it began squeezing him with immense force, threatening to crush his body. The intense pain caused An Ta Yi to scream in agony.
He roared in desperation, channeling his strength to transform into his demon beast form. But even as his power surged, making him stronger, the Demon Claw tightened its grip even further, crushing him.
Splurt—
In an instant, An Ta Yi's body was crushed into a bloody mess.
Boom—
With a deafening explosion, An Ta Yi's body shattered into countless pieces.
"An Ta Yi!"
An Ruo Yi and An Bu, watching from nearby, widened their eyes in disbelief. They never expected this outcome.
An Ta Yi was dead!
At that moment, a soul essence slipped through the cracks of the Demon Claw, trying to escape.
"Heh."
Zhang Leitian, holding the Ye Fan Sword, instantly slashed at the soul essence.
[Killed Nine-Star Demon God, received 900,000,000 evolution points]
[Absorbed Nine-Star Demon God essence blood, received 9,000 energy points]
[Absorbed Nine-Star Demon God essence blood, received 9,000 energy points]
[Absorbed Nine-Star Demon God essence blood, received 9,000 energy points]
The soul essence was cut in half.
A flood of system notifications filled Ye Fan's view.
"That's all?" Ye Fan muttered. "Nine hundred million evolution points really don't mean much anymore."
Meanwhile, An Ruo Yi and An Bu, who had intended to attack Zhang Leitian, found themselves under assault by the remaining Demon Claws in the sky. They had no choice but to keep dodging the relentless strikes.
"Now it's your turn," Zhang Leitian sneered as he turned his gaze toward them. With the endless energy surging from the Ye Fan Sword into his body, he felt his strength growing more immense by the second.
Seeing An Ruo Yi and An Bu desperately evading the Demon Claws, Zhang Leitian grinned wickedly. With a swift motion, he slashed his sword through the air.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Terrifying sword energy shot out instantly.
[Void-Cutting Sword Strike]
The powerful sword energy tore through the air, even ripping open space itself with countless cracks.
"Damn it!"
An Ruo Yi and An Bu's expressions changed dramatically as they saw the sword energy coming toward them. While still evading the Demon Claws, they used their agility techniques to barely avoid the incoming sword energy.
At the same time, the Demon Claws dissipated as their time expired.
"You dare!"
An Bu bellowed in fury. His hands came together, gathering an enormous amount of energy.
Boom—
The next moment, a massive surge of energy burst from his palms, rushing toward Zhang Leitian.
"Heh."
Zhang Leitian smirked darkly at the sight, raising his Ye Fan Sword and slashing forward.
Whoosh—
With a single strike, the oncoming energy was sliced in two and quickly dissipated.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Zhang Leitian charged forward.
An Bu's pupils shrank as he realized the danger. He quickly moved his hands, releasing beams of energy repeatedly. Unlike An Ta Yi and An Ruo Yi, An Bu specialized in long-range combat. He knew he needed to maintain distance from Zhang Leitian to avoid being killed.
"It's useless!"
"No energy can stop me!"
Zhang Leitian roared, his body now filled with an overwhelming force. As he charged forward, the Ye Fan Sword in his hand slashed again and again, cutting through the incoming energy beams with ease.
In no time, Zhang Leitian reached An Bu.
Just as he was about to swing his sword to cut An Bu in half, a figure appeared in front of him, blocking the attack.
Clang—
An Ruo Yi's flaming battle axe blocked the blow aimed at An Bu.
The clash of weapons sent a deep, echoing sound through the air.
"Heh, with your strength, you're nothing but trash!"
Zhang Leitian's confidence had swelled to the point of arrogance. He could feel that his power had reached its peak, and there was no one stronger than him anymore.
[Phantom Dance]
Zhang Leitian unleashed the technique once again. Countless shadows of himself appeared, each one wielding the glowing Ye Fan Sword.
Roar—
An Ruo Yi let out a furious roar, brandishing his flaming battle axe to fend off the myriad of Zhang Leitian's attacks.
Clang, clang, clang—
The sound of metal clashing filled the air as the Ye Fan Sword continuously struck An Ruo Yi's battle axe.
Before long, the flames on An Ruo Yi's axe extinguished.
To his horror, cracks began to appear on the surface of his weapon.
Seeing the cracks, An Ruo Yi's eyes widened.
Impossible! How could this be?
His battle axe was a divine artifact!
And yet, this divine artifact was now full of cracks and missing chunks after clashing with Zhang Leitian's sword.
"What kind of sword is this?! Why is it so sharp?!"
As An Ruo Yi stood in shock, Zhang Leitian struck once more with his Ye Fan Sword.
Clang—
The tremendous force of the blow made An Ruo Yi's battle axe tremble violently.
