"It is I who am speaking," Ye Fan said calmly.
At this moment, a faint blue energy began to emanate from the blade of the Ye Fan Sword. The energy quickly formed into a humanoid figure—Ye Fan!
In sword spirit form!
It had been a long time since Ye Fan had appeared in this form. His gaze swept the surroundings.
"A sword spirit!"
"The sword spirit of the demonic sword has appeared!" the surrounding people exclaimed.
"It really is you," Qian Bailian said coldly. He had never stopped thinking about how Ye Fan had escaped last time. Now, Ye Fan had reappeared!
"You... you're the sword spirit of this blade?!" Zhang Leitian's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Ye Fan in sword spirit form, his face filled with astonishment.
"Correct," Ye Fan responded calmly. "Kill them. If you cannot, then you will die."
If Zhang Leitian couldn't defeat them, then Ye Fan would step in himself. This time, Ye Fan had leveled up significantly. His blade had become sharper and tougher, with many more skills added. He was determined to take down this Thunder God King!
"Rest assured, Lord Sword Spirit. I will kill them all!" Zhang Leitian took a deep breath, turning his gaze toward the massive figure of the Thunder God King. There was no trace of fear in his eyes. On the contrary, excitement flickered within him. If he could kill the Thunder God King, he would gain immense power! Maybe then, he could even break through and become a God King himself!
With this thought, Zhang Leitian's resolve hardened. In an instant, as his power surged, a terrifying force erupted from his entire body.
[Bloodthirsty Rampage], [Blood Burst Rage], [Fury], [Hell's Cross Formation]!
He activated every skill that could amplify his strength!
Boom!
The Thunder God King furrowed his brow. With a mere thought, a massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky. The terrifying lightning struck with such force that the air itself exploded with sound.
Slash!
Seeing the lightning descending at incredible speed, Zhang Leitian let out a cold snort. In an instant, he wielded the Ye Fan Sword, slashing wildly. The powerful bolts of lightning were all split in half!
The Ye Fan Sword had leveled up multiple times and was now far stronger than before. Even the lightning of a God King could be cleaved in two!
[Phantom Dance]!!!
In that instant, Zhang Leitian activated the skill, causing his body to split into thousands of copies. Each figure appeared entirely real, charging directly toward the Thunder God King!
Crackle!
The enormous Thunder God King opened his mouth, gathering vast amounts of lightning energy. In no time, the energy formed into a colossal ball of lightning, which shot directly at the thousands of Zhang Leitian's copies!
Boom!
Many of Zhang Leitian's copies were instantly obliterated by the terrifying lightning attack.
"Die! All of you, die!" Zhang Leitian had never intended to attack the Thunder God King directly. His real target was the surrounding Martial Gods!
By killing these Martial Gods, he could absorb vast amounts of energy and blood to replenish his own, which had been consumed.
"Damn it!" Qian Bailian's face darkened as he saw what was happening. He raised his sword and slashed through the air.
Whoosh!
A massive crescent-shaped wave of sword energy burst forth, heading straight for Zhang Leitian.
"Scram!" Zhang Leitian roared. He slashed the air with his own sword, splitting the oncoming sword energy in half, dispersing it entirely. At the same time, he continued to kill the Martial Gods around him, cutting down their souls one after another.
[Killed Eight-Star Martial God, gained 800,000,000 evolution points]
[Killed Eight-Star Martial God, gained 800,000,000 evolution points]
[Killed Nine-Star Martial God, gained 900,000,000 evolution points]
...
[Absorbed Eight-Star Martial God blood, gained 8,000 energy points]
[Absorbed Nine-Star Martial God blood, gained 9,000 energy points]
...
Very quickly, the system notifications flooded in. Other than Qian Bailian, all the other Eight-Star and Nine-Star Martial Gods had been killed.
"That damned bastard…" Qian Bailian's face was ashen. He hadn't expected that the numerous figures Zhang Leitian had seemingly sent to attack the Thunder God King were merely decoys. In just a few moments, Zhang Leitian had slaughtered all the Eight-Star and Nine-Star Martial Gods he had brought with him!
"Step back," the Thunder God King said coldly. In that moment, his right hand stretched out. A massive surge of lightning energy gathered in the palm of the Thunder God King's hand. In no time, the energy coalesced into a terrifying lightning spear!
The Thunder God King, holding the spear, thrust it toward Zhang Leitian.
Zhang Leitian's pupils constricted. With a quick movement, he dodged out of the way!
Boom!
The colossal lightning spear struck the ground where Zhang Leitian had stood, sending a deafening shockwave through the area. The entire ground shook violently.
"Damn it!" Zhang Leitian's expression grew grim. Even after using all his skills to amplify his strength, it was still incredibly difficult to kill the Thunder God King.
Hell! Was the difference between a Nine-Star and a God King really this vast?
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Leitian raised the Ye Fan Sword and unleashed another powerful slash.
[Void-Cracking Sword Slash]!
