Chapter 380 Breaking the Evil! Exploding the Rings! Tang Chen?
Faced with this incomparably fierce sword strike, the surprise and doubt in Qian Daoliu's eyes were instantly replaced by solemnity. He dared not be negligent in the slightest, and the six wings of light behind him simultaneously shone with the light of the sun!
The next second, he raised his right hand, spread his five fingers and pressed forward.
Instantly, a massive rhomboid light shield, entirely condensed from dazzling golden holy energy, unfolded before him, its surface flowing with complex runes.
"boom--!!!!"
The dark red sword blade slashed fiercely at the golden light shield!
The deafening explosion resounded through the sky!
The next second, the golden and red light exploded like two colliding stars! A terrifying energy shockwave swept out in a ring, ruthlessly plowing through the already ruined Red Sand Town below. Countless pieces of rock and broken wood were swept into the sky and then shredded in the energy turbulence!
The golden light shield trembled violently, its surface runes flickering and even showing tiny cracks, but it ultimately did not break and steadily withstood the sword strike.
The dark red sword blade, having exhausted its energy in the intense clash, vanished without a trace.
However, the King of Slaughter's attacks came one after another!
His first sword strike failed to achieve its purpose. His figure flashed again, appearing like a ghost behind Qian Daoliu. He changed the way he wielded the Asura Demon Sword from slashing to thrusting, and the tip of the sword condensed into a point of extremely deep dark red sword light, which he thrust straight towards Qian Daoliu's back!
This glint of cold light contained a terrifying killing intent, as if it could pierce through all defenses in the world.
"Angels, judgment!"
Qian Daoliu seemed to have eyes in the back of his head; without turning around, he uttered four authoritative words.
A wing of light behind him suddenly flapped forward, not as a physical attack, but as a burst of Judgment Fire composed of pure holy flames!
The flames were golden, not scorching hot, but possessed an absolute power to restrain all dark and evil attributes, surging like a tidal wave towards the King of Slaughter and the dark red sword light that were attacking from behind.
"Hiss hiss hiss—!"
The Judgment Fire clashed fiercely with the dark red sword light and the Slaughter King's protective domain, producing a series of explosive sounds. The Slaughter King's thrust was momentarily halted, and the blood-red light around him was continuously evaporated by the scorching heat.
"snort!"
The King of Slaughter snorted coldly, seemingly quite wary of the holy flame, and decisively abandoned his thrust, his figure disappearing into the air once again.
The next second, three dark red afterimages of the King of Slaughter appeared in the sky at the same time, slashing at Qian Daoliu from different angles! The sword energy unleashed by each afterimage was extremely solid and terrifyingly powerful, seemingly a clone technique, yet carrying the terrifying killing intent of the original body.
Seeing this scene before him, Qian Daoliu remained expressionless. With all six wings flapping, his speed instantly increased to the extreme, leaving behind streaks of golden afterimages in the air as he narrowly avoided the two sword energies.
At the same time, a longsword made entirely of divine light materialized in his hand, and with a backhand strike, he shattered the third sword aura.
Unable to break through the King of Slaughter's defenses, the ferocity in his blood-red eyes intensified.
He no longer pursued sophisticated attacks, but directly activated the Killing Domain with all his might. The dark red light spread wildly from him, trying to engulf Qian Daoliu as well.
"A trivial skill!"
Qian Daoliu let out a low shout and activated his Angel Domain!
A pure, vast, and holy golden light, like a sun rising behind him, rapidly expanded outwards and collided violently with the killing field!
"Zzzzz—BOOM!!!"
The clash between these two top-level fields is even more terrifying than the previous swordplay exchanges!
The golden and red lights formed a huge, constantly twisting and exploding energy sphere in mid-air, which then eroded, squeezed and annihilated each other!
The earth below continued to collapse and crack under the double crushing force of the domain, as if bearing the weight of the sky falling. Space fluctuated violently, and fine spatial cracks spread out like a spider web.
For a moment, the two were locked in a stalemate!
Faced with Qian Daoliu's angelic divine power and angelic domain that restrained evil and purified all things, the King of Slaughter's Slaughter Domain not only failed to suppress the opponent and prevent him from using soul skills, but also became slightly sluggish in the confrontation of the divine domain. However, his fighting instinct was extremely strong, and his offensive became more and more ferocious.
In the hands of the King of Slaughter, the Asura Demon Sword transformed into streaks of dark red afterimages that tore through the heavens and earth. Each strike contained terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas, forcing Qian Daoliu to concentrate on dealing with it. The golden holy sword in his hand, formed from pure angelic divine power, clashed repeatedly with it.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Boom—!"
The sounds of metal clashing and energy explosions were incessant.
Each time the swords clashed, the evil-dispelling light flowing from the Holy Sword would travel along the blade and impact the Asura Demon Sword, thereby eroding the arm of the King of Slaughter and the blood energy around him.
That pure and sacred power was like a red-hot iron probing into ice water, causing the King of Slaughter to let out a deep and furious roar, and the ferocity in his blood-red eyes burned even more fiercely.
"That repulsive golden light... shatter it!"
Suddenly, the King of Slaughter roared, and the Asura Demon Sword in his hand shone with blood-red light. He unleashed an even more ferocious blood-red cross slash that tore through space and slashed fiercely at Qian Daoliu.
"Evil will not prevail over good! You will eventually be purified by the divine!" With a cold laugh, Qian Daoliu held his holy sword horizontally to block, and the light wings behind him burst forth with even stronger light, as the power of the angelic domain once again empowered him.
"Boom—!"
Amidst the violent explosion, Qian Daoliu steadily withstood the attack. The light of exorcism on the Holy Sword instead rolled back along the blade, once again scorching the blood energy around the King of Slaughter, causing it to churn and hiss.
The constant restraint and the trauma caused the King of Slaughter's rationality to become increasingly blurred in his rage.
The chaotic fragments of memory in his mind surged again, and a certain fighting style rooted deep in his soul, almost instinctive, seemed to begin to influence the way he attacked under the stimulation of extreme anger and the immense pressure of fighting.
Just as Qian Daoliu swung his holy sword again, carrying divine power to stab at the open chest, the Asura Demon Sword in the King of Slaughter's hand suddenly began to twist wildly!
Immediately afterward, under Qian Daoliu's astonished gaze, the dark red demonic sword that symbolized ultimate slaughter underwent an unbelievable change in form!
The hilt extends, the blade contracts, then deforms and solidifies...
In the blink of an eye, the Asura Demon Sword mysteriously transformed into a giant hammer that was entirely black, covered with mysterious dark gold patterns, and had an ancient yet domineering design!
The hammerhead is enormous, as if it contains boundless power to suppress mountains.
The hammer handle was long and slender. In the pale hand of the King of Slaughter, it exuded a terrifying power that was completely different from the sharp and sinister Asura Demon Sword before... as if it could destroy all laws!
"This...this is?!"
Upon seeing this, Qian Dao's golden pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, and for the first time, his face revealed undisguised shock and horror. He even forgot to continue his attack and blurted out:
"Is that the Haotian Hammer?!"
This form, this aura.
This domineering will that seems capable of shattering all obstacles... he would never be wrong about it!
This is the number one weapon spirit in the world, the symbol of the Clear Sky Sect's heritage—the Clear Sky Hammer!
Although the hammer before him was dark in color and had slightly different patterns, and was shrouded in an inescapable aura of blood and evil, how similar it was to the martial spirit of his old rival in his memory!
"You're Tang Chen!?"
The thought exploded in Qian Daoliu's mind like a thunderclap, shaking him to his core. The familiarity he had felt earlier instantly found its source, but it brought even deeper shock and disbelief.
However, the King of Slaughter gave him no time to think.
In that split second when Qian Daoliu's movements faltered slightly due to shock, the King of Slaughter let out a roar that was not human, yet seemed to contain boundless rage and a killing intent.
"break--!"
The next second, the King of Slaughter swung his Haotian Hammer with a terrifying force that seemed to shatter the sky and destroy the earth, and then smashed it down on Qian Daoliu's head!
This hammer blow contained no fancy techniques, only pure, extreme power and destruction! Wherever the hammer's force passed, space collapsed inch by inch, forming a temporary black hole region!
Qian Daoliu snapped back to his senses instantly, a strong sense of crisis causing him to temporarily suppress all his shock.
He knew the terror of the Clear Sky Hammer all too well, and even he dared not be careless in the slightest!
"Angels, protect us!"
With a low shout, Qian Daoliu's six wings suddenly closed in front of him, and the vast angelic power frantically poured into the golden holy sword in his hand. The holy sword's light surged, transforming into an incomparably solid, holy giant shield flowing with liquid golden light, which then blocked his head.
"Go to hell!!"
The roar of the King of Slaughter mingled with the sound of his giant hammer tearing through the air, filled with a madness that seemed to destroy everything.
"clang--!!!!!!!!!!!"
This time, the sound of the collision far surpassed any before. It was no longer the crisp clang of metal against metal, but a terrifying roar like two stars colliding and the sky collapsing!
The dark Haotian Hammer slammed heavily onto the golden holy shield!
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable burst of violent energy erupted from the point of impact in a spherical shape, with golden and dark light clashing, annihilating, and exploding wildly!
"Snap!"
A clear cracking sound rang out.
A noticeable crack appeared on the golden holy shield that Qian Daoliu had condensed. Although the angelic divine power rushed in to try to repair it, the crack was still shocking!
However, the divine light that accompanied it suddenly burst forth, producing an effect that dispelled evil, sweeping away all the evil aura in the air.
The King of Slaughter's body was completely bathed in that sacred golden light.
At this moment, his body froze like a sculpture, even the evil expression on his face froze, as if he had been infected by something.
"Hiss hiss hiss—!!!"
A series of teeth-grinding, burning sounds rang out!
The thick, viscous, dark red aura around the King of Slaughter, which seemed to drip blood, began to evaporate and dissipate rapidly under the light of the Angel Domain that Qian Daoliu had fully unleashed. It was like solid ice encountering the blazing sun!
"Aaaaaahh ...
The King of Slaughter let out a shrill scream that was so mournful it was inhuman.
The voice was filled with indescribable pain and anger, and even a trace of... Tang Chen's own clear consciousness that had been forcibly awakened.
His entire body convulsed violently, his face, which had been as pale as a corpse, twisted into a near-grotesque contortion, and the red light in his blood-red eyes flickered wildly, sometimes violent, sometimes blank.
"Angels, sword of judgment! Purify!"
Seeing this scene before him, Qian Daoliu's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he held his sword with both hands and slashed down with all his might at the King of Slaughter who was struggling in pain!
This sword strike embodies his life's cultivation and the full power of the Angelic Realm, vowing to completely purify that overwhelming evil energy into holy light!
However, at that moment, nine spirit rings—eight black and one red—appeared on the Haotian Hammer and then exploded one after another! Instantly, an extremely unstable energy began to brew wildly on it!
Immediately afterwards, the King of Slaughter used his last bit of strength to swing the Haotian Hammer down hard towards the ground in front of him, instead of the incoming golden sword light!
This hammer blow had no rules; it was simply a primal and violent outpouring of energy!
"Get out of my way!!!"
"BOOM—!!! ...
A horrific explosion has occurred, beyond description!
Where the Haotian Hammer struck, a sphere of destructive light, over a hundred meters in diameter, mixed with dark red blood, shattered golden light, and pure darkness, instantly expanded!
The power of this explosion far exceeded any previous clash!
It is not a targeted attack, but an indiscriminate, all-around energy shock!
The first to be hit was Qian Daoliu, whose golden sword of judgment was the first to touch the edge of the sphere of destruction!
"boom--!"
The golden sword light clashed fiercely with the destructive energy, producing a deafening roar.
Qian Daoliu felt an irresistible, evil force crashing towards him. His sword strike was abruptly halted, and he was thrown back like a kite with a broken string by the terrifying shockwave. He tumbled through the air for hundreds of meters before finally regaining his footing. His face was flushed, and his blood and qi were churning violently, clearly indicating that he had suffered a severe shock.
The epicenter of the explosion was shrouded in chaotic energy turbulence and dust that blotted out the sky; space shattered and the earth turned to dust.
The next second, a huge, bottomless pit suddenly appeared!
Immediately afterwards, a golden light, like a swimming dragon, shot up from the deep pit. The golden light dimmed in the air, and when it reached the top, it had turned completely black.
When the dust settled slightly, the area was completely empty except for the huge crater and a few lingering energy shockwaves.
The King of Slaughter has vanished without a trace.
"Was that... the Haotian Sect's exploding ring?"
"Tang Chen? It really is him! But why does he look like this?"
He did not pursue them, partly because he himself had been injured by the sudden explosion and needed to recover.
Secondly, the King of Slaughter's final attack was clearly a desperate act, and he is likely severely injured and has fled into hiding. Most importantly, this discovery is far too astonishing, requiring an immediate return to Spirit City to carefully consider and plan for the future. (End of Chapter)
