"Your fiancée, your goddess, wasn't she just a dog wagging her tail under me?"
Hearing Zhang Laosan's taunt, Zhang Shaoqian's eyes turned blood-red with rage.
"Zhang Laosan...!!!"
Unable to hold back anymore, Zhang Shaoqian charged forward with Ye Fan Sword in hand.
Bang—
But the moment he dashed forward, an invisible force sent him flying back.
"Hahaha!"
"It's useless! Inside my formation, you can't escape!"
"And haven't you noticed yet? Your power has already been suppressed!"
Zhang Laosan grinned viciously.
Zhang Shaoqian's eyes widened.
Now that he focused, he could clearly feel it — the energy in his body was being suppressed! He could only exert about half of his normal strength.
"You... die!!!"
In that moment, Zhang Laosan swung his long blade through the air.
Whoosh—
A massive blood-red crescent energy slash hurtled toward Zhang Shaoqian.
Zhang Shaoqian's face paled. Trapped inside the formation, there was no way to dodge the terrifying energy attack.
What should he do!?
"You idiot, why don't you try slashing with your sword?"
Ye Fan cursed internally, exasperated.
"Ahhh!!!"
Seeing the blood-red crescent energy barreling toward him, Zhang Shaoqian let out a roar, gripping Ye Fan Sword and slashing toward it!
The strike immediately sliced the terrifying crescent energy in two, dispersing it completely.
"This... this can't be!"
Zhang Laosan's eyes widened in shock. He had considered that Zhang Shaoqian might dodge, but he never expected his powerful martial technique to be cut in half by that sword!
"That's it..."
Staring at the energy dispersed by his sword, Zhang Shaoqian seemed to realize something.
He began to laugh loudly.
"Hahahaha!"
"I understand now!"
"Your formation is useless against me!"
Roaring, Zhang Shaoqian raised Ye Fan Sword and charged forward again!
In one swift movement, he slashed at the invisible barrier in front of him.
Bang—
The barrier shattered instantly as Zhang Shaoqian burst out.
This... this is impossible!
Seeing Zhang Shaoqian break free, Zhang Laosan's eyes widened in disbelief.
"You... die!!!"
As Zhang Shaoqian charged toward him, Zhang Laosan shouted in fury.
Boom—
A powerful surge of energy erupted from Zhang Laosan's body, forming a massive wave that struck Zhang Shaoqian, sending him flying.
Crash—
Zhang Shaoqian slammed hard against a distant wall.
Pfft—
He coughed up blood.
"Nine-tier power..."
But Zhang Shaoqian quickly steadied himself, wiping the blood from his lips with the back of his hand.
"That's right, I've reached the ninth tier," Zhang Laosan sneered coldly.
"Didn't expect this, did you? After years of harvesting Yin energy from women, I've grown this strong!"
"Oh, and I forgot to mention, your precious fiancée, your so-called goddess—she's long been drained to a withered corpse by my power."
"She was such a fool, believing in true love."
Zhang Laosan continued mocking, provoking Zhang Shaoqian with cruel words.
"Shut up!!!"
Zhang Shaoqian roared in fury, pointing Ye Fan Sword toward Zhang Laosan.
Crackle—
Terrifying lightning energy exploded from the sword, filling the entire space.
Boom—
The surge of energy shattered the entire grand hall.
Not good!
Seeing the deadly electricity closing in, Zhang Laosan's pupils contracted. He immediately flew upward, smashing through the ceiling and escaping into the sky.
"You're not getting away!"
Zhang Shaoqian yelled as he shot up after him.
Boom—
The grand hall collapsed under the powerful lightning from the Thousand Thunder technique, leaving nothing but rubble.
"Damn it!"
Watching Zhang Shaoqian closing in, Zhang Laosan's face darkened. Extending his left hand, he unleashed a stream of blue flames.
Whoosh—
The blue flames shot downward toward Zhang Shaoqian.
Zhang Shaoqian could feel the searing heat from the flames, and he quickly dodged to the side. However, more streams of blue flames continued to pour from Zhang Laosan's hands, rushing toward him.
"Slash!"
"Cursed flames!"
Zhang Shaoqian growled in frustration as he frantically slashed with Ye Fan Sword, cutting the flames in half and extinguishing them.
"You can't escape!!!"
Zhang Shaoqian shouted in fury. Today, no matter what, he would kill Zhang Laosan.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Screaming, Zhang Shaoqian pushed all the energy in his body to the limit.
Whoosh—
His entire body surged with terrifying power, propelling him toward Zhang Laosan with incredible speed.
He was closing in fast!
Not good!
Sensing the impending danger, Zhang Laosan's pupils shrank. Gripping his war blade tightly, he quickly spun around to face Zhang Shaoqian.
Clang—
The blades clashed with a sharp, ringing sound.
In an instant, Zhang Laosan's war blade was cleanly sliced in two.
This is impossible!!!
Seeing his blade destroyed so easily, Zhang Laosan's eyes bulged in disbelief.
"Nothing's impossible. You're dead!"
Zhang Shaoqian howled, slashing Ye Fan Sword again!
The strike was so swift, Zhang Laosan barely had time to react, and he couldn't fully dodge the attack!
Whoosh—
The sword sliced through Zhang Laosan's shoulder, severing it completely.
In an instant, blood sprayed out in all directions.
"Ahhh!!!"
