The dark blue flames quickly coalesced into massive, fearsome beasts.
The surrounding space distorted under the terrifying heat of the flames.
"Go!"
With a wave of his spear, the monstrous flames surged forward!
Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed as the flames shot out.
"Useless,"
Zhang Leitian sneered upon seeing this.
With a swing of his sword, he sent out a powerful slash, slicing through the flames.
The enormous beast-shaped fire was immediately cleaved in two, and the flames dissipated into nothingness.
"Impossible!"
Antaiyi was visibly shaken.
His incredibly powerful flame attack had just been effortlessly cut apart by Zhang Leitian.
He had never witnessed anything so bizarre.
At that moment, Zhang Leitian began his counterattack.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Holding the Ye Fan Sword, he unleashed a frenzy of powerful slashes.
The [Nether Flame Soul Slash] burst forth, releasing waves of white flames, as fierce as the flames Antaiyi had summoned.
Antaiyi no longer dared to meet these flames head-on with his weapon.
All he could do was dodge and evade.
"What is this... Aah!"
Meanwhile, the demons and Demon Gods in the sky began screaming in agony as the dark mist engulfed them.
The weaker demons had their bodies corroded by the demonic aura, causing them to fall from the sky, disintegrating.
"Heh heh."
Zhang Leitian let out a cruel laugh, watching the scene unfold.
He continued to swing the Ye Fan Sword, sending out crescent-shaped blasts of white flames with each strike.
His energy reserves were still abundant.
Even as he continued to unleash the [Nether Flame Soul Slash], the energy expenditure was well within his limits.
Antaiyi's expression darkened as he dodged the incoming flames.
He could not comprehend how Zhang Leitian could possess such immense power.
Not only was Zhang Leitian relentlessly unleashing powerful attacks, but his energy remained so incredibly dense!
How much energy could this man's body possibly hold!?
Antaiyi had no time to think further.
As he dodged another wave of crescent-shaped flames, he rushed directly toward Zhang Leitian!
Using martial techniques seemed futile—Zhang Leitian's sword could easily destroy any energy attack.
His only option was to engage Zhang Leitian in close combat and use his divine weapon to kill him!
"Old man, you're fast!"
Zhang Leitian's eyes flickered as Antaiyi closed in.
He swung the Ye Fan Sword toward his opponent.
Clang, clang, clang!
The sword and spear collided violently, filling the air with the sound of clashing metal.
Zhang Leitian had already activated every power-enhancing skill he had.
He was currently in his peak state.
But even so, he couldn't land a killing blow on Antaiyi.
Antaiyi was equally formidable.
Once known as the "First Below the Divine King," Antaiyi's strength, though not at the level of a Divine King, had only grown more terrifying over the years.
[Phantom Dance]!!!
As their weapons clashed once again, Zhang Leitian activated another ability.
In an instant, he multiplied into countless copies, each brandishing the Ye Fan Sword.
Sword light filled the sky as thousands of slashes were directed at Antaiyi.
Antaiyi's face turned grim.
"Aaah!"
With a roar of fury, he unleashed his full power.
The speed of his spear's movements became so fast that it left no visible afterimage.
Clang, clang, clang!
Yet the sound of weapons colliding rang out without pause.
"You bastard!"
"If this is all you've got, you're going to die!!!"
Antaiyi's face twisted in rage as he yelled.
As soon as he spoke, his entire body erupted with golden light.
"What the...?"
Zhang Leitian's eyes widened as he slashed at Antaiyi with his Ye Fan Sword.
Boom!
In the next instant, an overwhelming surge of golden energy burst from Antaiyi's body!
Boom!
A massive golden energy beam struck Zhang Leitian, sending him flying.
Boom!
Wrapped in the golden energy, Zhang Leitian's body exploded as the energy burst.
The resulting explosion was so massive that it caused the ground below to tremble.
"What terrifying power..."
"Of course. When the family master takes action, that bastard is as good as dead!"
"It's just a shame that so much of our Tamm family's territory was destroyed by that guy!"
The demons and Demon Gods who had retreated nearby spoke coldly, watching the scene.
"Die, you bastard."
Antaiyi sneered at the golden light in the distance.
This was his proudest technique.
Even a Nine-Star Demon God wouldn't survive such a close-range attack.
Zhang Leitian had never fought him before, so it was only natural that he fell for it.
"You think that was enough to kill me?"
But suddenly, a booming voice echoed from the distance.
Zhang Leitian wasn't dead!
"Impossible!"
Antaiyi's eyes widened in disbelief.
As the golden light began to fade, Zhang Leitian's figure reappeared.
Looking closer, there were no signs of injury on his body.
It was as if Zhang Leitian had never been hurt at all!
"You..."
Antaiyi's eyes bulged in shock.
This was utterly impossible!
Even a Divine King would be injured by the golden energy attack he had just unleashed!
He was sure that the attack had hit Zhang Leitian.
So why was he completely unharmed?
Antaiyi's mind reeled in disbelief.
This was a devastating blow to his confidence.
"Heh heh heh."
Zhang Leitian laughed sinisterly.
That last moment had indeed been dangerous—he hadn't expected the old man to possess such a terrifying ability.
