Chapter 755: Slaughter Them

Chapter 755: Chapter 740: Slaughter Them

Whether it was Zuo Feng, Zuo Yun, or Jun Tianyu, all were peerless, exceptionally talented geniuses in their respective factions.

They were not only incredibly gifted but also widely experienced and knowledgeable.

In their understanding of the world…

Whether someone was using a mysterious Secret Skill against an enemy;

Or a peerless powerhouse was circulating an Unparalleled Technique to absorb the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi;

Or even using a Divine Weapon like the Netherworld Demon Claw to absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi;

Nothing could possibly explain the terrifying situation currently unfolding outside the Ten Thousand Demons Black Flame Barrier!

If the Ghost-faced person outside was currently using some kind of mysterious Secret Skill, then this single move was absorbing all the Killing Intent, Death Qi, and even resentment—all the Yin-attribute Energy—within the entire Hungry Ghost Dao. If unleashed, this attack would likely obliterate the entire Hungry Ghost Dao in an instant!

If it was a peerless powerhouse using some Unparalleled Technique to absorb the Dark Energy here, not even the Taotie or a Five-Color Banner Master could achieve something this frightening… This wasn’t Cultivation; this was outright plundering the world’s Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi!

As for using a specially-made Divine Weapon like the Netherworld Demon Claw to absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, the three of them had never heard of any Divine Weapon capable of withstanding the impact of such immense energy!

One had to understand that something like the Netherworld Demon Claw could absorb a vast amount of Dark Energy, but it had significant limitations.

Each time it reached its limit, the wielder had to unleash the immense energy through an attack.

Otherwise, the Netherworld Demon Claw would be unable to bear the energy, and it would explode, leaving no corpse to be found!

But what the Ghost-faced person was doing now clearly wasn’t the work of some Magical Treasure… He had absorbed such a colossal amount of energy, yet he showed no sign of stopping!

It was as if he intended to devour every last bit of energy in the Hungry Ghost Dao!

The Hungry Ghost Dao had existed for who knows how many years, accumulating countless wronged souls and Fierce Souls, and it was filled with the purest Dark Energy. If all of it were to be absorbed…

Watching all this, Zuo Feng, who was sitting cross-legged and healing in front of the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Stele, tilted his head back, his mouth agape wide enough to fit a few eggs.

Meanwhile, Zuo Yun, who had been trying to use the Netherworld Demon Claw to absorb the Dark Energy of the Hungry Ghost Dao, wore a bizarre expression… a mix of anger, shock, helplessness, and fear…

At this moment, no matter how hard Zuo Yun tried to activate the Netherworld Demon Claw, he could no longer absorb any of the Dark Energy within the Hungry Ghost Dao!

All the energy in the entire realm was being plundered, converging toward that massive vortex!

Countless Ghosts surged forth like a black cloud, only to be swallowed by Shen Lang’s vortex like a whale drinking the sea!

The Netherworld Demon Claw was truly and utterly useless!

“A strike like that last one, just two more times, and those two would have been blasted to bits… A pity your Cultivation is just too weak… But even if your Cultivation is a little lacking, you don’t have to just stand there and watch the show, do you?”

“The Netherworld Demon Claw is more for show than for use. The Spiritual Power it consumes is terrifying. Unless Zuo Yun has a death wish, he won’t be using that piece of junk again… Use your dual swords and kill them!”

Shen Lang’s disappointed voice, like a mentor scolding an underachieving student, echoed from within the vortex.

Inside the Ten Thousand Demons Black Flame Barrier, Jun Tianyu’s face flushed red. He finally snapped out of it, shook his arms, and immediately charged toward the stunned Zuo Yun!

A ferocious aura erupted from Zuo Yun. As expected, he put away the Netherworld Demon Claw and switched to a Giant Axe, meeting Jun Tianyu’s attack without showing any weakness!

The clang of metal on metal rang out ceaselessly. Within the Ten Thousand Demons Black Flame Barrier, Powerful Qi crisscrossed as dust and smoke billowed.

Shen Lang, who was still madly absorbing the energy of the Hungry Ghost Dao, rolled his eyes and sighed. “It’s not like you’ve never launched a sneak attack before. Why are you ignoring the half-dead waste and fighting the one who’s full of vigor?”

Jun Tianyu froze for a moment, then gave an embarrassed smile. He spun around and lunged toward Zuo Feng, who was healing below the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Stele!

Even though Zuo Feng was severely injured, he could lash out at any moment. Therefore, killing Zuo Feng first was the best possible strategy.

Furthermore, chasing Zuo Feng would disrupt Zuo Yun’s attack rhythm and disturb his focus… It was a bit shameless, but in the struggle between the War God Hall and the Demon God Hall, there was only life and death, victory and defeat. Who cared about being shameless or not?

It wasn’t as if Zuo Feng and Zuo Yun ganging up on him was particularly noble, either.

Having figured this out, Jun Tianyu attacked furiously with his Ice and Fire Two Swords even before he reached Zuo Feng!

Zuo Feng’s face turned pale with fright. He didn’t dare to block the attack, instead darting directly behind the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Stele to dodge the incredibly powerful assault.

“Jun Tianyu, you shameless villain! If you have the guts, fight me head-on for three hundred rounds! What kind of hero attacks a severely injured man!”

Zuo Yun was livid, practically hopping with rage.

“And the two of you ganging up on me, using the Netherworld Demon Claw and the Ten Thousand Demons Black Flame Barrier to ambush me—was that the act of a hero?” Jun Tianyu’s retort left Zuo Yun speechless.

The three had already played a game of hide-and-seek around the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Stele before. They hadn’t expected to be playing it again so soon.

Only this time, the one constantly fleeing around the Ancient Stele was Zuo Feng!

But how could Zuo Feng, who had been severely wounded by Jun Tianyu, possibly outrun him?

After less than five laps around the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Stele, Jun Tianyu parried Zuo Yun with a single strike, then swiftly closed the distance and slashed Zuo Feng’s back!

As blood flew, Zuo Feng let out a wretched scream and was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, splattering blood everywhere.

A shocking sword gash appeared on his back.

Within the wound, flesh was torn aside, revealing the stark white of bone!

“Jun Tianyu! I’ll take your life!”

Seeing his brother suffer such a blow, his life hanging by a thread, Zuo Yun threw all caution to the wind. He activated a Forbidden Technique, and with his Cultivation surging, he charged at Jun Tianyu at twice his previous speed!

Seeing this, Jun Tianyu was unwilling to clash head-on. He shot backward, temporarily avoiding the brunt of the attack!

After forcing Jun Tianyu back, Zuo Yun helped Zuo Feng up and sent a Divine Thought transmission: “Brother, the situation is dire! A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years. I’ll hold off Jun Tianyu. You use the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Stele to undo this Barrier. Escaping is our priority!”

As he spoke, with a thought, the Armor on Zuo Yun’s body instantly disintegrated into pieces and reassembled itself onto Zuo Feng.

Not only that, but he also clapped his hands together and produced three enormous Magic Shields.

Amid a flash of Spirit Light, the three huge Magic Shields began to spin rapidly around Zuo Feng, protecting him within.

The corner of Zuo Feng’s mouth twitched. He swallowed a mouthful of blood and sent back a transmission: “It’s come to this. This is the only way. I’ll leave Jun Tianyu to you, second brother!”

“Right! Once the Barrier is open, you go first, brother. Don’t worry about me… He can’t do anything to me in a short time! Even if the Ice and Fire Dual Swords are powerful, Jun Tianyu’s Spiritual Power is depleted, so he can’t last long!” Zuo Yun added.

Then, with tendrils of black qi swirling around his body, he glared venomously at Jun Tianyu and slowly approached.

The battle between them reignited, so fierce it seemed to blot out the sky!

Jun Tianyu tried to get around Zuo Yun several times, but Zuo Yun, determined to stop him, resorted to a mutually destructive fighting style, forcing Jun Tianyu back again and again.

Even with the unparalleled power of the dual swords in his hands, Jun Tianyu couldn’t get past Zuo Yun under these circumstances.

Meanwhile, having gained a moment to breathe, Zuo Feng had begun circling the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Stele, continuously casting Spirit Techniques at it.

The surface of the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Stele immediately began to flash with light. Streaks of runes swam across it like tadpoles, and the massive Ancient Stele started to tremble.

Time passed, drop by drop. The two sides were locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain an advantage.

However, Jun Tianyu grew more and more proficient with the “Fiery Fire and Arrogant Sun Sword” and the “Nine Netherworld Ice Sword.” Accustomed to using a single sword, he was now getting used to dual-wielding. With the swords united, he fought with increasing valor!

Zuo Yun, on the other hand, was steadily accumulating injuries, his body covered in shocking bloody gashes.

His aura was also rapidly weakening. It looked like he wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer.

“HUFF, HUFF, HUFF!”

The two clashed again like falling stars and then violently separated. Zuo Yun gasped for breath, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, his eyes glaring at Jun Tianyu like a malevolent ghost.

Jun Tianyu’s demeanor was calm, but he couldn’t help but glance again at Shen Lang outside the Ten Thousand Demons Black Flame Barrier.

Although his dual-wielding was becoming smoother, he no longer had enough Spiritual Power to execute another Dual Swords United strike.

And without that strike, he couldn’t defeat Zuo Yun in a short amount of time.

By the time Zuo Feng opened the Barrier, even if he wanted to give chase, he wouldn’t be able to be in two places at once. At least one of them would definitely escape.

Jun Tianyu wanted more guidance from Shen Lang, but Shen Lang remained silent, seemingly focused on absorbing the surging energy of the Hungry Ghost Dao!

At this moment, both Jun Tianyu and Zuo Yun stood motionless, staring intently at each other.

Meanwhile, Zuo Feng’s speed increased, continuously casting Spirit Techniques into the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Stele. The giant stele suddenly began to shake violently!

“RUMBLE!”

As the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Stele shook, the Ten Thousand Demons Black Flame Barrier also began to tremble violently, like a soap bubble on the verge of popping!

The anxiety in Jun Tianyu’s eyes grew more intense.

‘If I let these two brothers escape from such a perfect opportunity, even if my Cultivation grows stronger in the future, the chances of killing them will be slim to none…’

「Just then…」

The Primordial Qi in the sky, which had already grown incredibly thin, suddenly stopped fluctuating!

The vortex around Shen Lang dissipated like the wind, revealing his figure.

“Senior has stopped!” Jun Tianyu was overjoyed.

In his eyes, Shen Lang had become a legendary figure who could change a person’s destiny and cause their Cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds with just a few words.

Seeing Shen Lang absorb the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi of the Hungry Ghost Dao, even plundering the Dark Energy that the Netherworld Demon Claw had been absorbing… How could this be something an ordinary powerhouse could do?

Even someone in the Emperor Martial Realm probably couldn’t do something like this, could they?

An Emperor Martial Realm powerhouse could stir up Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi on a far grander scale than this, but they could never absorb it at such a terrifying speed… and what’s more, to devour all of it at once, regardless of Attribute!

Under Jun Tianyu’s gaze, Shen Lang finally ceased his frantic actions and slowly approached the Ten Thousand Demons Black Flame Barrier…

At that moment, the hearts of the ferocious and tyrannical brothers, Zuo Feng and Zuo Yun, instantly leaped into their throats!
