As the mountain hurtled down toward him, Zhang Yuanji's eyes narrowed, and with a swift thought, he channeled his source energy into Boundless. In an instant, the sword's blade erupted with powerful sword energy. At that moment, a massive sword shadow materialized and slashed toward the descending mountain.
Boom!
With a deafening crash, the massive mountain, which had been about to crush Zhang Yuanji, was cleaved cleanly in half by the giant sword shadow. However, just as the mountain split, a massive figure charged at him from behind!
Zhang Yuanji's pupils contracted as he quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the massive attack.
The giant figure slammed into the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently.
"This guy..." Zhang Yuanji muttered as he glanced up and saw the enormous figure of Zhao Yanlin, his entire body surging with red energy, his muscles swelling to an immense size.
Roar—
With a thunderous roar, Zhao Yanlin swung a massive fist imbued with terrifying energy directly toward Zhang Yuanji. His punch carried an overwhelming amount of source energy as it crashed down on him.
"Damn it," Zhang Yuanji cursed, his expression changing as he found himself with no immediate way to counterattack. He could only continue to dodge Zhao Yanlin's relentless barrage of attacks.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Zhao Yanlin's red-tinged fists continued to hammer the ground, leaving craters in their wake.
"Zhang Yuanji, you're dead!" Zhao Yanlin laughed maniacally as he watched Zhang Yuanji dodging like a cornered rat. He seemed confident that he had Zhang Yuanji in a death grip.
Zhang Yuanji's face darkened as he continued to evade the attacks, but then something caught his attention, and his eyes widened.
Could it be...?
He felt a surge of information coming from Boundless. It seemed the sword had awakened a new skill.
"Perfect! Let's see how you handle this!" Zhang Yuanji sneered at Zhao Yanlin, who had grown into a massive, monstrous figure.
Suspending himself in the air, Zhang Yuanji channeled his source energy into Boundless, causing the sword to radiate an intense black energy.
Boom—
The black energy erupted violently from the sword, spreading across the sky like an impenetrable veil, shrouding the entire area in darkness. The once clear sky was now pitch-black.
What's happening?!
Zhao Yanlin had been preparing to continue his assault, but he suddenly realized that his surroundings had plunged into total darkness. His vision was severely impaired.
Though Zhao Yanlin's perception was strong, he found it difficult to lock onto Zhang Yuanji's presence in the dark.
In contrast, Zhang Yuanji's perception had significantly sharpened. Even in the darkness, he could clearly see Zhao Yanlin's every move.
"Die!" Zhang Yuanji coldly laughed, immediately unleashing a powerful sword technique.
[Saint-Level Sword Technique: Ten Thousand Sword Wave]!
With a single slash of Boundless, thousands upon thousands of water-elemental swords materialized, surging forward like an unstoppable tidal wave toward Zhao Yanlin.
Zhao Yanlin, though unable to see clearly, still possessed a strong sense of perception. With a roar, he swung his red energy-infused fist upward to counter the attack.
Boom—
The countless swords clashed with Zhao Yanlin's fist, piercing through it. His hand was instantly riddled with holes, blood spraying everywhere.
"Ahhh!!!"
The intense pain caused Zhao Yanlin to scream in agony.
Now's my chance!
In that instant, Zhang Yuanji charged downward like a bolt of lightning, striking at incredible speed.
"You're dead!!!" Zhao Yanlin sensed the incoming attack and threw a punch upward with his left hand.
Bang—
But Zhang Yuanji, wielding Boundless, pierced straight through Zhao Yanlin's fist. The blade continued upward, slicing through his arm and exiting through his back, shattering bones as it went.
[Absorbing Four-Star Martial God Blood, Gaining 4000 Evolution Points]
[Absorbing Four-Star Martial God Blood, Gaining 4000 Evolution Points]
...
Boundless quickly absorbed the blood splattered across the blade.
"Absorbing the blood of a four-star Martial God gives so many evolution points," Zhang Yuanji marveled.
Each drop of blood yielded 4000 evolution points. If he were to kill Zhao Yanlin and fully drain his blood, the amount of energy he could gain would be immense.
The more energy he gathered, the longer he could maintain his form when the time came.
Zhao Yanlin was in dire shape now—his right fist had been shattered, and his left arm had been entirely destroyed. His massive, muscular body was shrinking rapidly, reverting to its original form.
[Hellfire Soul Slash]!
Hovering in the sky, Zhang Yuanji mercilessly unleashed another slash.
Whoosh—
A white flame shot from the sword, hurtling toward the severely injured Zhao Yanlin.
With Boundless's [Covering Sky, Blocking Sun] active, Zhang Yuanji felt his sword techniques flow more smoothly than ever.
Zhao Yanlin, now defenseless, could do nothing to stop the incoming attack. The terrifying white flame engulfed his body in an instant.
Boom—
With a thunderous explosion, Zhao Yanlin's body was reduced to charred remains.
As the battle came to an end, the black energy that had covered the sky slowly began to dissipate.
[Killed Four-Star Martial God, Gained 400,000,000 Evolution Points]!
[Absorbing Four-Star Martial God Blood, Gaining 4000 Evolution Points]
[Absorbing Four-Star Martial God Blood, Gaining 4000 Evolution Points]
...
"F-Four hundred million evolution points!"
Ye Fan was shocked.
He never imagined that this battle would yield such an enormous amount of evolution points!
