Chapter 102 - 36: Saber Shatters the Sky, Severely Wounding the Demon Fiend
"CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!"
Following Ao Jiao’s world-shaking roar, a series of sickening cracks echoed from his skeleton as his body rapidly began to swell!
His originally robust, thirty-foot-tall body, topped with a pair of horns like a Flood Dragon’s, rapidly swelled with his transformation, morphing into a colossal, ink-black beast hundreds of meters long.
Its entire form resembled a Flood Dragon, yet it was not one.
It had horns like a Flood Dragon, and its enormous, draconic pupils glinted with shocking ferocity. Its body was covered in scales reminiscent of a Flood Dragon, and its massive claws could chill one to the bone, causing them to tremble uncontrollably as a wave of pure terror washed over them.
"You ant! I’m going to flay you and rip out your sinews! I’ll turn you into a delicious meal!"
Ao Jiao, now in his true Demon Fiend form, let his Demonic Power erupt completely. He roared at Gu Yun, his fierce, draconic eyes blazing with malice.
"That Demon Fiend in the sky... It’s horrifying!!"
"I feel like I’m suffocating just from its aura!"
Down below, the group of Spiritual Martial Cultivators gazed up at the colossal, Flood Dragon-like Demon Fiend. They gasped, swallowing hard as they spoke in hushed, fearful tones.
"A little interesting!"
Gu Yun’s expression turned grim, but he didn’t show the slightest hint of fear. Slaying giant Demon Fiends was what he did, after all.
"Prodigy of the Human Race, in my eyes, you’re nothing but a slightly stronger ant."
"Now die!!"
A vicious glint flashed in Ao Jiao’s draconic eyes. His boundless Demonic Power erupted, roiling and churning. He then opened his blood-red maw, and a terrifying, ink-green Demonic Power condensed into a massive sphere hundreds of meters wide. Accompanied by a terrifying Momentum that made the void tremble and the mountains quake, it shot toward Gu Yun in an instant, intent on annihilation!
The terrifying sphere of Demon Qi tore through everything in its path, shooting straight for him.
But in Gu Yun’s eyes, wreathed in faint purple Thunder and emitting an eerie violet light, it was simply too slow!
Gu Yun’s figure flickered, as fast as a bolt of lightning, as swift as a clap of Thunder, leaving only an afterimage in his place.
"WHOOSH!"
The terrifying sphere of condensed Demon Qi instantly annihilated Gu Yun’s form, then shot violently into the distance. The horrifying energy blast tore through one mountain peak after another.
It didn’t stop until it plunged into the distant sea. A massive explosion erupted from the waters, and the ocean roiled as if struck by a meteorite, unleashing a monstrous tsunami and a terrifying tremor.
Even the Cultivators watching from afar trembled at the shockwave!
’The power of that attack from Ao Jiao must have reached the True Martial Realm Seventh Layer!’
But...
’If you can’t hit your target, it’s completely useless!’
"Hahaha! Little prodigy of the Human Race, I got you! Got you!"
A gleeful laugh spread across the savage face of Ao Jiao’s massive Demon Body.
But before he could finish laughing, his draconic pupils contracted slightly.
"What!"
Suddenly, a massive attack streaked across the sky like a meteor from another world. It descended like a falling galaxy, imbued with Flame Thunder Blade Momentum that ripped through layers of space. It carried the weight of Taishan’s Mountain-Suppressing Power, striking down like a divine Thunder Punishment. Its brilliant light illuminated the heavens and the earth as it brought an immense Blade Qi, capable of cleaving through anything, down upon Ao Jiao!
"CLANG!"
The immense and incomparably sharp Blade Qi, infused with Flame Thunder Blade Momentum, slammed into Ao Jiao’s Demon Body, carving a massive gash into his draconic hide.
"ROAR!"
"Damn you, ant!"
Though the attack wasn’t fatal, it had inflicted a genuine, albeit minor, wound. Ao Jiao roared in fury as his massive tail whipped toward Gu Yun’s position like lightning.
The sheer power of his tyrannical Demon Body Physique carried an overwhelming force, like a tsunami that could shatter the very air, making the surrounding space seem to crack as the tail slammed violently toward Gu Yun!
But Gu Yun had pushed his Three Thousand Thunder Flashes to its absolute limit.
Ao Jiao couldn’t touch him at all, repeatedly striking nothing but his afterimages.
Ao Jiao’s draconic eyes began to turn bloodshot with rage.
He then let out a furious bellow:
"MOTHERFUCKER, IS DODGING ALL YOU KNOW?! HUH?!"
The roar from the colossal Demon Fiend shook the heavens and the earth, echoing for miles in every direction!
"Dodge my ass! Now die for me!"
"Celestial Spirit Thunder Dragon!"
In an instant, Gu Yun unleashed an endless torrent of Thunder. With a single lift of his hand, he drew upon the energies of heaven and earth, condensing them into a Thunder Dragon hundreds of meters long. It was terrifyingly lifelike, exuding a soul-shakingly dreadful Momentum!
"ROAR!"
The Thunder Dragon roared, then, like a Celestial Punishment made of pure Thunder, it unleashed its terrifying Thunder Power, tearing through space as it charged violently toward Ao Jiao!
"Pathetic parlor tricks!"
Far from being intimidated, Ao Jiao’s expression grew excited. His boundless Demon Qi surged and transformed into a terrifying pillar of black light. Wielding a power that could shatter the void, he blasted it straight at the descending Thunder Dragon!
"BOOM!"
The two terrifying forces collided, instantly creating a world-shaking explosion in the void. The sheer force of the impact was like the tremor of a tsunami or the eruption of a volcano.
The surrounding space shattered like a mirror. The resulting storm of energy swept outwards in all directions, and the terrifying aftershocks blasted the ground below to smithereens, leaving behind savage, terrifying fissures that snaked across the land like angry dragons!
In the very next instant—
"Prodigy of the Human Race, die!"
A vicious glint flashed in Ao Jiao’s draconic eyes. A claw descended from the void; endless Demonic Qi had condensed into a terrifying giant claw that tore through the heavens as it came crashing down to suppress Gu Yun!
Faced with the colossal descending claw, Gu Yun’s expression remained calm. His robes fluttered, and his long hair danced in the wind.
In the next instant, his cold expression sharpened. A brilliant light burst from his eyes, which seemed to hold the glint of a turning blade. His gaze became as sharp as a blade’s edge, one that could cleave the heavens and tear through the endless night, shining with unprecedented radiance.
"Starfire Spreads!"
Gu Yun slashed. Instantly, the void around him filled with terrifying, pale cyan flames. The dreadful, pale-cyan, fiery Blade Qi was like a spark from the heavens, emitting an overwhelming light that burned and distorted the void for thousands of meters in every direction.
The next moment, the flaming blade light and the massive claw of Demon Qi collided mid-air, unleashing an utterly terrifying power. The surrounding space was burned through by the flames, revealing the pitch-black, shattered void beyond—a sight that would make anyone tremble!
Gu Yun’s figure appeared with blinding speed above Ao Jiao’s head. The Flame Soul Thunder Saber in his hand flowed with the light of thunder as he brought it down in a vicious slash.
The slash seemed to split the void itself. Like a bolt of lightning that pierced the heavens and the earth, it contained his Flame Thunder Blade Momentum. The incomparably sharp Blade Qi flashed, illuminating the world like a beacon before it tore through space, instantly carving a hideous gash into Ao Jiao’s massive head. Dark, ink-green blood began to slowly ooze out.
Immediately after,
Gu Yun moved in a flash, circling Ao Jiao and landing powerful slashes infused with Blade Momentum all over his body.
’Pain. So much pain!’
Ao Jiao’s body was now covered in cuts, his massive frame riddled with wounds. Dark, ink-green blood streamed from them.
Every so often, a drop of blood would fall onto the trees and ground below. The Demon Fiend’s blood carried a powerful corrosive property,
corroding whatever it touched and causing it to evaporate into clouds of terrifying, thick smoke!
