Chapter 148: Death Warriors!

No one has ever seen a rain of swords filling the sky; it can only be witnessed in fantasies.

And now they have seen it.

The Demon-Slaying Sword seemed endless—

They exploded, and then condensed again…

Again and again, blow after blow…

The center where Ling Ba Tian stood became a sea of fire.

People could no longer see Ling Batian; all they could see were endless azure swords, each trailing flames, exploding into the crowd.

Wave after wave of attacks came so fast that they were a blur to the eyes.

Each sword strike carried the attacking power of the fourth level’s peak. With such force alone, these consecutive blows could overwhelm even魔族 (demon race) warriors who had not reached the pinnacle of the fifth level!

Ten thousand strikes, or even a million strikes!

People have lost count; they are stunned.

Some members of the Sunset Alliance have already started to retreat and then fled.

At this moment, how could they still dare to stay there?

If even the leader couldn’t withstand the attack, what chance did they stand?

Countless people turned pale and stammered, “This… how can anyone withstand such an attack?”

“Group attack, is this really a group attack? How terrifying.”

“No wonder he was able to fight his way from the south bank. With such strength, not only could he charge through, but even if he were alone defending the bridge at the south bank, who could possibly break through!”

The onlookers gasped and exclaimed in astonishment.

Lu Yu is almost an invincible figure in their eyes!

With such a powerful group attack, no wonder Lu Yu is so confident!

Explosions of flame followed one after another, turning the area in front of the sword marks into a massive crater and leaving everyone’s scalp tingling with shock.

This is even faster than having hundreds of heavy machine guns firing – no, even hundreds of Metal Storms firing in unison couldn’t match this speed.

Ling Batian is really done for.

Everyone from the Luoyu Alliance came over; no one dared to stay behind anymore.

How could anyone kill someone like Lu Yu!

“Roar!”

Amidst the flames, a deafening howl of an ape suddenly erupted, piercing the heavens.

The howl shattered the flames and broke apart the twenty thousand demon-slaying swords in the sky!

“Kill you!”

A gray aura rises again, forming the head of a demon ape in the air!

Ling Batian, having rushed out of the flames, had his arms dragging on the ground, his eyes blood-red, his teeth sharp, and his face transformed into something no different from a demon ape.

His body was scorched and covered in blackened fur, yet he still exuded an overwhelming aura of dominance!

As Ling Batian emerged from the flames, Hongyan’s eyes were already fixed on Lu Yu.

“This… this can’t even die!” people around screamed in terror.

No one would believe their own eyes.

This is just too crazy.

After dozens of sword strikes like Lu Yu’s, if someone is still alive, are they even human anymore!

This time, no one, not even Ling Ba Tian himself, saw how he moved; one moment he was there, and the next he had already appeared in front of Lu Yu.

“Buzz!” Lin Baxian’s ape-like arm suddenly surged forth, and at last, the Star Soul stirred into motion.

The power that erupted also belongs to the fifth-level Star Soul!

The onlookers could no longer be shocked; they had already been amazed too many times by this battle!

The leader of one of the three major organizations in Nanjing has demonstrated strength far beyond theirs.

This is the gap!

Either of these two men alone could turn Nanjing upside down!

Lu Yu and Ling Batian—these were two mountains they could never overcome.

Chen Hui was shouting excitedly from the back.

He believed that Lu Yu would not lose.

Lin Batian’s punch arrived, even more fierce and violent than before.

Boom!

Lu Yu’s body activated the Phantom Spirit Bone!

Ling Batian’s punch had reached the peak of a fifth-level Star Soul in terms of power.

Lu Yu’s figure swayed. At this moment, he finally felt a clearer aura.

He was very familiar with this aura; it was the unique power signature of the Demon Lord.

Like Liu Xiaotian, the dead warriors killed by him also exude such an aura.

At this moment, Ling Batian’s first punch having failed, he had already launched another punch with incredible speed!

“Have you had enough?!” Lu Yu shouted. “I’d like to see whose power is stronger—your beast or my Silver Dragon’s!”

Ling Batian is no ordinary person, but a man ready to die for his cause!

A dead warrior who survived the blood sacrifice platform—that’s the true origin of Ling Batian!

Shapeshifting—this is likely one of the魔主’s strongest abilities.

Just like albinism, different stages come with different levels of power.

Lu Yu’s aura also changed, with a silver dragon’s shadow coiling around him.

Faint silvery dragon scale patterns covered his body, with dragon shadows undulating within.

Boom! Ling Batian’s fist slammed into Lu Yu’s chest, sending him flying straight up from the impact!

The defensive power of the Silver Dragon’s possession is unparalleled; even the Demon Lord cannot break through it, let alone a human with a fifth-level Star Soul.

“The third transformation!” Ling Batian didn’t even think, roared furiously, and changed form once more!

This time, his body turned even darker, with countless faint blood markings appearing on Ling Baxian’s body.

These are the demon soldiers!

Boom!

With Ling Batian’s third transformation, the power of his punch became even more formidable, approaching the peak of the fifth level, and even showing signs of breaking through to the sixth level of Star Soul.

Bang!

Lu Yu still didn’t move!

Ling Batian’s second strike was ineffective. Lu Yu’s right hand also grabbed downward, and the cold, sharp gleam on his fingernails was no less menacing than Ling Batian’s.

Rip!

Lu Yu’s palm tore a piece of skin and flesh from Ling Baitian’s body.

A silver dragon’s claw concealed itself within Ling Baxian’s body. At the same moment, the seed of a corrosive toxin was planted.

Instantly, fifty thousand points of life vanished from Ling Ba Tian’s body.

“Huh?!” Lu Yu noticed that Ling Baxian’s health points were actually as high as ten million!

This completely transcends the limits of star souls.

“Kill!”

Ling Batian acted as if nothing had happened and swung his fist again, roaring, “Lu Yu, my life force is just too strong! Fight me all you want—I’ll outlast you!”

Bang!

Lin Batian’s fist was shaken off once again, and Lu Yu tore off another large chunk of flesh from Lin Batian’s body.

“What if they transform into beasts? I’ll kill them all the same!” Lu Yu roared fiercely, launching another attack.

Boom!

His five fingers seemed capable of piercing through even steel, and once again tore a piece of flesh from Ling Baxian’s arm.

“Damn it, I don’t believe I can’t break through your defense.”

Boom!

Ling Batian counterattacked.

Both of them pushed their speed to the limit; every attack left behind afterimages in the sky, as swift as lightning!

The people around were so astonished that their eyes became dazzled.

One mutated into a demonic soldier, while the other was covered in silver dragon scales and was no longer human at all.

It was originally a battle between humans, but now it seems more like a clash between two fierce beasts attacking each other.

Ling Batian, who had just gained a slight advantage for a few moves, was now sustaining more and more wounds on his body.

Ling Batian’s fists, dripping with blood from the impact, still could not break through Lu Yu’s defense.

“Damn it!”

Ling Batian’s dozens of attacks could not even break through a single defensive barrier, which enraged him even more!

“I don’t believe I can’t shatter your tough armor,” Ling Batian said. His right arm muscles suddenly tensed, releasing a burst of power. As his strike landed on Lu Yu, the silver armor on Lu Yu’s body shattered.

Boom!

This punch struck Lu Yu’s shoulder, shattering it completely.

“Oh!”

Ling Batian’s furious roar, originally meant to vent his anger, turned into a scream of agony.

Because within Ling Batian’s body, countless silver dragon shadows surged out, shattering numerous bones from the inside where the dragon shadows struck, and his internal organs were crushed into pieces.

“Ahh, ahh!” Ling Baxian roared furiously, “Fourth Transformation!”

Vroom!

Lin Batian’s aura became even more violent. He had actually broken through the peak of the fifth-level Star Soul’s combat power and surged toward the peak of the sixth level.

The wounds on his body were rapidly closing as the mutation progressed.

Yet the aura around him was constantly changing, growing stronger with every breath. Even a gentle breath sounded like thunder.

The blood patterns on his body became more intense, his eyes redder. Even on his face, spiral-shaped blood patterns emerged, appearing around the corners of his eyes.

“Lu Yu, I’ll show you what true strength is! This is the初级 form of the魔王, the weakest stance of the魔族’s king. But even in this weakest form, I can still kill you.”

With such a posture, Ling Batian’s aura was no longer that of a human being.

He took a step forward and collided directly with Lu Yu.

This speed can no longer be described as fast; it’s so rapid that the human eye can’t even keep up.

Boom!

Lin Batian’s hand pierced into Lu Yu’s chest, attempting once again to rip out Lu Yu’s heart.

However, this time he missed his target.

People failed to notice the changes in the ground.

Because the darkened form is too similar in color to the Star Essence ore.

What people noticed was that when droplets of water in the cracks of the rocks gathered in the air, forming a real water gun over a meter long, they began to notice the changes happening on the ground.

“Another area attack!”

“He, he has more than one area attack ability!”

“Hurry up and pray to the gods! Is he even human? We don’t even have a single area attack skill, yet he has two by himself!”

The surrounding crowd, though already accustomed to being shocked, still couldn’t believe their eyes.

Some people were even close to tears!

For ordinary people, they were shocked by Lu Yu’s incredibly strong attacking ability, almost making them unable to believe it.

However, for Ling Batian, what he felt was not only Lu Yu’s attacking power, but also the aura emanating from this strength.

“You—” Ling Batian was shocked for the first time.

“What good does it do to have met the Demon Lord?” Lu Yu said coldly, suddenly raising his voice fiercely: “I dare to fight even the Demon Lord himself, so how could I fail to kill you!”

Boom!

As Lu Yu’s voice faded, eight thousand blades of the Yellow Spring and twenty thousand swords of demon-slaying ignited into flames in the air.

The Blade of Hell — the ultimate ability of the Brahma Clan!

Demon Slaying — A terrifying skill capable of slaying the Demon Lord!

When the two major skills are combined, the power unleashed is even greater!

Ling Batian was once again engulfed in a sea of flames.

“Do you really think something like this can stop me? You’re dreaming!” Ling Batian allowed countless blades to explode against his body as he laughed maniacally, “I’m now at the peak of a sixth-level Star Soul’s combat power. Do you even know how much health I have? Even if you blow away hundreds of thousands of points in one go, I can still regenerate it all!”

Ling Batian stepped out of the flames and said, “What’s the use of challenging the Demon Lord? I am the strongest.”

“Since combining the two won’t work, let’s add one more!” Lu Yu raised his right hand and snapped his fingers loudly!

“Bang!”

With the snap of the finger, everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but tremble.

In the sky, boundless green energy was gathering.

Lu Yu coldly said, “Ten thousand poisons!”

Boom!

Infinite green energy poured down from the sky like a vast green ocean.

This green gas flooded the land, even corroding the sand and rocks.

Buildings that came into contact with the green gas began to decay and turn into dust!

The people all around were gasping for breath.

A trembling voice said, “Th-three… three types of group attack skills!”

“Did I see that right? Oh my God, just give me one!”

No longer shocked, he was shocked again at this moment.

In the center of the green sea, Ling Baxian’s skin was also being corroded, yet it was visibly regenerating at a noticeable speed.

“One strike, just one strike and you’re dead.” Ling Batian surged out of the sea of poison, his body exposed in many places with bones already corroded black.

His ferocity made countless hearts tremble with fear.

“Die? Not yet! Come again!” Lu Yu raised his hand, and from his palm, twenty thousand venomous dragon spines, sharp as fangs, surged forth like a swarm of bees.

“Four, four kinds!”

Many of the onlookers around had already felt their legs go weak!
