“Kill!”
The crimson killing intent in his eyes was revealed, making anyone who saw it feel fear in their hearts. The surrounding killing intent became even more substantial, suppressing the soaring demon energy emitted by the Golden Hou Beast.
Breaking Extreme!
The fourth stance of Astonishing Wind Saber Manual reappeared, causing Lu Yun’s speed and strength to increase more than threefold. In an instant, he rushed to the sky above the Golden Hou Beast. On his White Scale Purple Gold Knife, blade lights emerged continuously, forming an arc-shaped light extending outward. The endless sharp blade energy wreaked havoc, accompanied by the roaring explosions in the air.
The Golden Hou Beast was shocked and quickly dodged, creating waves of golden light as it ran wildly across the battlefield filled with pits. It darted east and west, driving a golden ocean along with it. Amidst a sharp whistling sound, the gradually dimming sky was illuminated with gold.
It exploded, frantically escaping, followed by a blood-red glow that continuously cut through the air at high speed. The glow was so fast that it seemed to slice the golden sky into several pieces within an instant, stirring up waves of storms.
The Golden Hou Beast was fumbling helplessly, with large patches of its golden fur being cut off. A terrifying wound appeared on its buttocks, with blood flowing out, causing it to increase its speed once again due to pain.
However, its speed still couldn’t match Lu Yun’s. It would have suffered more than just a wound on its buttocks if the nine sword-shaped golden teeth hadn’t blocked several of the damages.
“Roar…”
The Golden Hou Beast roared in fury, unleashing a golden-coloured light ring from its body. The light ring was like something crafted from gold, shining brightly and suddenly enlarged, as if a world was pressing down on Lu Yun.
Thunderclaps exploded, the violent collision created earth-shattering waves. The released light spread everywhere, engulfing all darkness.
“Boom!”
Eventually, both Lu Yun and the Golden Hou Beast spat out blood, being thrown back and crashing into the ground, creating a huge pit in their wake.
“So strong!” Lu Yun was shocked, as he had not been injured in a while.
Moreover, it was the first time his White Scale Purple Gold Knife suffered heavy damage, with a fine crack appearing on the blade.
The Golden Hou Beast was even more stunned. It had never taken this human youngster seriously, but he had successively forced it to use various trump cards.
True Roar Skill was one of the divine abilities inherited through its bloodline.
Golden-edge Swordfang was an unmatched treasure for attack.
Lastly, the Hundred-refined Vajra Ring it had sacrificed was a supreme defensive treasure.
Just using one of those trump cards would be enough to kill a Fifth Realm peak human martial artist.
But now, having used all three, it only managed to fight evenly against the human teenager. How horrifying!
“Could it be that this young man is an unmatched Heavenly Pride of the human race, comparable to the descendants of the divine beasts in our Demon Race?” The Golden Hou Beast was troubled by this guess and vaguely felt some hairs on end, as well as a bit excited.
As for the Black Tiger Army soldiers and demon beasts who occasionally caught glimpses of Lu Yun and the Golden Hou Beast’s fierce battle, they were even more shocked.
Both Lu Yun and the Golden Hou Beast’s combat powers had surpassed all the demon beasts and humans in the battlefield.
“Another round!” Lu Yun said, his grave expression concealing the glint of greed in his eyes.
The Golden Hou Beast had too many treasures on its body, and he had never seen such a wealthy demon beast before.
Compared to it, Lu Yun felt like a poor man himself. The White Scale Purple Gold Knife was his only possession, and it was merely a True Artifact. Furthermore, it already had cracks after just a few collisions with the Golden Hou Beast.
“Kill!”
The Golden Hou Beast roared in anger, it absolutely could not lose this battle, nor would it.
Both of them wanted to take each other’s lives. Lu Yun’s eyes became crimson, and the surrounding killing intent boiled, radiating a violent and terrifying slaughter aura, making his momentum even stronger.
The killing intent resembled a sea, completely engulfing the area. No one could see clearly what happened there. Only streaks of golden light and purple lightning could be seen chasing and attacking each other in the sea, continuously emitting loud explosive noises.
Eventually, the astonishing clash of collisions erupted in waves of terror, boiling the blood-red killing intent.
Lu Yun and the Golden Hou Beast fought fiercely and intertwined, leaving destruction wherever they went. The traces of battle appeared exceptionally terrifying.
Weapons collided, flesh scraped against each other, and light burst forth. Both sides were engaged in their final, intensely dangerous and fierce battle.
“Boom!”
Lu Yun leaped up, landing on the Golden Hou Beast’s body. With one hand, he grabbed its golden fur, and with the other, he gripped the White Scale Purple Gold Knife that had developed a crack. He struck down with all his might at the beast’s head, and the clash produced a deafening sound.
After being tempered by the True Roar bloodline, the Golden Hou Beast’s flesh was now superior to that of a Fifth Rank peak level Demon Beast, especially its head, which even Superior True Artifacts could not harm. A golden light surged around the beast.
At that moment, the Golden Hou Beast’s eyes turned cold, and it let out an angry roar. The Hundred-refined Vajra Ring, which radiated golden light, flew back from the distant sky and headed towards Lu Yun’s head.
Feeling the tremendous danger, Lu Yun lay flat against the Golden Hou Beast’s body, letting the Hundred-refined Vajra Ring narrowly graze the top of his head.
Just then, the Golden-edge Swordfang transformed into nine golden flying swords, attacking from both the left and right.
Seeing this, Lu Yun slammed a palm on the Golden Hou Beast’s head, and a burst of purple thunder erupted from the point of contact, allowing him to evade the attack.
“It seems I have no choice but to use my last resort,” Lu Yun thought to himself.
The Golden Hou Beast was indeed powerful, far stronger than a Fifth Rank peak-level Demon Beast. In addition, it had two treasures that far surpassed Superior True Artifacts. Lu Yun knew he would not be able to slay the beast without utilizing his true power.
The nine gigantic golden swords reformed from the Golden-edge Swordfangs, and the dazzling Hundred-refined Vajra Ring drew a trail in the gradually darkening sky. Their golden light engulfed the heavens and earth.
These two powerful treasures were far beyond the category of True Artifacts, and their mysterious and terrifying power made even the Golden Hou Beast tremble despite not having fully mastered them yet. Using them casually still displayed their unmatched might, and it was incredibly heart-shaking.
Lu Yun flew horizontally, quickly dodging to avoid the attack. He could feel that the gleaming Hundred-refined Vajra Ring not only possessed unparalleled defense but also a suppressing power like that of mountains and rivers.
“Boom—~”
In the Sea of Consciousness, the blood-red lotus shook violently. As Lu Yun flickered evasively, the blood-colored Killing Intent around him grew even more substantial. The strands of Killing Intent transformed into writhing blood-red snakes.
During this process, his figure constantly flickered and moved. In just an instant, he had landed in dozens of different locations, each one blasted by the golden swords, creating a huge deep pit in the ground.
After dozens of times, the Golden-edge Swordfangs and Hundred-refined Vajra Ring began to lose strength and were recalled by the Golden Hou Beast.
“It’s my turn now!” The crimson in Lu Yun’s eyes suddenly surged to an extreme, and his aura exploded. The Slaughter Conception, at the Third Rank with a bit more, completely erupted. The vast Pure Yang Strong Origin madly rushed through his broad and tough meridians, converging onto the long knife in his hand.
At the same time, he pushed the Three Thousand Thunder Movement technique to its limits, reaching an unimaginable speed. He closed the distance between himself and the Golden Hou Beast once more.
As the Slaughter Conception and the infusion of Pure Yang Strong Origin empowered him, the White Scale Purple Gold Knife seemed unable to withstand the strain. The crack on the blade began to extend and widen.
But Lu Yun ignored this, increasing his speed even further. Just as the White Scale Purple Gold Knife was about to shatter, he unleashed one final strike.
One Strike End Sins!
“Swoosh!”
The Golden Hou Beast shuddered, sensing an extremely horrifying crisis approaching. It had no time to command the two treasures it had just recalled, and instinctively unleashed a forbidden technique in a split second.
However, its instinctual reaction was still too slow, and its eyes filled with a sea of purple lightning.
Within that sea of purple lightning, a blood-red gleam of sword light appeared.
Compared to the purple lightning sea, this sliver of sword light was insignificant, but it contained a terrifying power.
Swift, destructive, tyrannical, and the ultimate slaughter power…
These sensations surged into the Golden Hou Beast’s mind like a tide. Immediately after, it felt something pass through its body.
Following that, its consciousness rapidly plunged into darkness.
In that darkness, the last thing it saw was a wisp of crimson light, devouring its remaining consciousness.
The entire battlefield fell silent all of a sudden..
