That demonic soul beast, how ferocious and terrifying?
Even within the Nine Provinces, it was absolutely a top-tier existence, perhaps even having reached the ninety-ninth heaven realm!
Yet, it couldn't even withstand a single move from Zhou Yan?!
"Boom!"
Just then, the void trembled.
Zhou Yan raised his head.
Behind him, the void split open, and the figure of a black-robed elder appeared.
He had his hands behind his back, wore a pitch-black robe, and was enveloped in demonic energy. The sinister demonic patterns on his body flickered with a faint purple light, making him appear utterly evil.
"Who is it, who killed my son?"
He slowly opened his eyes, his voice cold and like thunder, deafening.
"Father, save me!"
Seeing this, the demonic soul beast was instantly stunned and frantically lunged towards the black-robed elder, as if it had found its anchor.
"Abomination!"
The black-robed elder roared and slapped out, sending the demonic soul beast flying.
"Father, save me!"
The demonic soul beast wailed, but as soon as it flew up, it was immediately suppressed by a mysterious force and fell, crashing before the black-robed elder.
"This abomination is still useful. Imprison it in the Demonic Palace for now."
The black-robed elder snorted coldly, then turned his gaze to Zhou Yan in the distance, his tone icy. "Kid, you dare to kill my son. Today, you will surely die."
As his words fell.
The black-robed elder extended his right hand.
In an instant, a pitch-black dagger appeared out of thin air in his palm.
This dagger was entirely black, exuding a dense demonic aura, full of malevolence.
The Demonic Blade!
It was forged from a meteorite from beyond the heavens, inscribed with strange runes, emitting wisps of demonic energy.
"Swish!"
Dark demonic fire suddenly surged from the Demonic Blade, burning fiercely.
"This demonic blade was tempered by me with a hundred years of cultivation. It has drunk the blood of three thousand demons and is infused with their residual resentment. How can a mere mortal like you resist it?" the black-robed elder sneered.
The demonic fire within the blade grew hotter and hotter, emitting a terrifying heat that melted the surrounding rock walls, causing molten lava to flow out.
"Demonic Blade, Kill!"
The black-robed elder slashed out with his blade, and instantly, an earth-shattering killing intent erupted from the pitch-black Demonic Blade, like a demon lord descending, sweeping across all directions!
"Buzz!"
This strike was incredibly terrifying, with demonic energy boiling, as if it were cleaving the void.
"This strike, even a master at the ninety-ninth heaven realm would find it difficult to withstand," Zhou Yan took a deep breath, his heart filled with awe, feeling a great sense of danger approaching.
"Clang—"
He drew his sword without hesitation.
In an instant, a sword cry resounded in all directions, like the roar of a dragon and the cry of a phoenix, carrying an incredibly domineering sharpness that instantly tore through the sky and collided with the demonic blade!
A crisp sound, metal clashing, sparks flying, and a terrifying gust of wind swept forth, shaking the underground cave.
"Stomp, stomp, stomp!" Zhou Yan retreated several steps.
The black-robed elder, however, let out a muffled groan, his body swaying slightly.
"Hmm? This sword is of extremely high grade, no less than the demonic blade I forged. However, it still cannot stop my Demonic Blade!"
Within the black-robed elder's eyes, his killing intent intensified.
"Buzz!"
He swung the Demonic Blade again, slashing towards Zhou Yan.
This time, the blade's momentum was even more ferocious, the blade light whistling like a flood dragon coiled around its body, crushing everything in its path, intent on shattering Zhou Yan into pieces.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly, flicked his wrist, and danced his long sword, meeting the attack.
The two precious swords clashed continuously.
The sound of clanging was incessant!
A shower of sparks flew.
One man, one blade, fighting in mid-air!
"Such immense strength!"
Zhou Yan's pupils contracted.
Although he had the upper hand, he could feel that this old fellow's strength was beyond imagination!
"Hahaha, kid, you're dead. Your sword is good, but the gap between it and my Demonic Blade is too vast!"
The black-robed elder was wildly arrogant, each slash of his blade accompanied by blinding light.
Zhou Yan's swordsmanship was profound and unpredictable, and the black-robed elder retreated step by step. Within a few exchanges, he was already covered in wounds and looked quite disheveled.
"Damn it!"
Zhou Yan cursed inwardly.
After all, the opponent was a powerful being who had surpassed the divine realm. Even though only a residual soul remained, he was still not to be underestimated.
"Kid, you are indeed strong, but I have long been in the divine realm. In a true fight, you are no match for me," the black-robed elder snorted coldly, his gaze turning frigid. He gripped the Demonic Blade and walked towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's mood became heavy.
"It seems I have to reveal some things!"
He took a deep breath, his gaze suddenly turning sharp, and his aura erupted.
"Hmm?"
The black-robed elder's steps suddenly halted. He stared at Zhou Yan, his eyes narrowing.
"You..."
A hint of apprehension appeared in his eyes.
"Heh, didn't you want to kill me?"
Zhou Yan sneered, leaped forward, and swung his precious sword towards the black-robed elder.
Boom!
The void collapsed, and the sword light was vast, like a mountain crashing down, carrying an immeasurable majesty!
At this moment, the strength Zhou Yan displayed shocked the black-robed elder, sending immense waves crashing in his heart!
"How is this possible? How could this trash possess such immense power?" the black-robed elder exclaimed in horror, disbelief coloring his voice.
His arm was cut off by half by Zhou Yan's sword!
Intense pain surged to his mind, causing his reason to gradually disappear!
Crimson killing intent surged within his eyes!
He was enraged!
Since entering the divine realm, he had never encountered such a perilous situation!
"Roar!"
With a roar, the black-robed elder's demonic energy surged, and his aura intensified.
He raised the Demonic Blade and fiercely slashed it at Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's wrist trembled violently, and his body staggered, retreating two steps.
"Pfft!"
Although Zhou Yan felt a slight anomaly, he was not seriously injured. He simply hadn't expected this old bastard to be in the divine realm.
His arm was already numb from the impact, almost dislocated.
"Kid, I'm going to kill you!"
The black-robed elder roared ferociously, and the Demonic Blade slashed again.
Zhou Yan's expression turned slightly serious. He knew that this old fellow was about to fight him to the death!
"Rumble~"
Just then, an infinitely majestic aura permeated the surroundings.
Immediately after, a colossal claw, as if covering the sky and obscuring the sun, emerged from the clouds and seized the Demonic Blade.
With a crisp sound, the Demonic Blade actually shattered inch by inch, breaking into countless pieces.
"What?"
The black-robed elder's eyes widened, filled with terror.
That giant claw had crushed the Demonic Blade?
What in the world was that?
