Kai Ji felt his soul tremble, a sense of overwhelming crisis forcing him to unleash even greater power.
"Begone!!"
"You expect me to leave just because you say so? Take this blade first!"
Liang Zifan wouldn't let him escape so easily. The massive thunderbolts had already torn Kai Ji's body apart, but it wasn't fatal. With this strike, followed by an detonation...
But Kai Ji couldn't help but feel the life-threatening aura emanating from the blade. He fought with all his might, choosing to be submerged in the sea of lightning rather than take this hit.
However, the dense lightning rooted him to the spot, leaving him no choice but to watch as the glowing red blade struck his shoulder.
"Damn you, human! This is what you forced me to do!!"
"Boom!!!"
The blade landed on Kai Ji's shoulder, causing his soul to vibrate violently, a gaping chasm ripped open!
His vitality rapidly drained with the soul injury, he let out a pained howl, his body erupting with frenzied power.
Liang Zifan's heart leaped, and he quickly pulled his blade back, retreating.
He reached out, clenching his fist towards the area engulfed by the lightning sea.
"Detonate!"
"Boom!!!"
The sky filled with blinding arcs of electricity. This thunderous roar drew the attention of everyone present.
A bloodied figure staggered out of the blasted lightning sea, burning with black flames, his aura significantly stronger than before.
Liang Zifan's face darkened. "Dammit! That can still be used?"
His intention was to instantly kill Kai Ji, to have him suffer a lightning explosion while his soul was injured, preventing him from using the [Demon Body Sacrifice to Heaven]. This innate ability of the Sky-Slayer race was truly disgusting; they could unleash a final burst to spite you before dying.
Kai Ji gasped for breath. Using [Demon Body Sacrifice to Heaven] was akin to sentencing himself to death.
He harbored immense hatred for Liang Zifan, this fellow with brightly colored hair who he found displeasing at first glance, yet who was also so powerful, pushing him to this extent.
"You will die here today!!"
"What the hell are you yapping about? Do you think I care about you?"
Liang Zifan was also furious. Lightning surged around him, the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Thunder converging on his blade.
He charged at the powered-up Kai Ji.
Their blades clashed, and he was immediately sent flying.
Kai Ji, with a ferocious expression, charged at Liang Zifan. He knew the terrifying nature of these human prodigies, and if he could exchange even one of them, it would be worth it.
Liang Zifan's scalp tingled. He had intended to meet the charge head-on, but found his opponent too formidable.
At this moment, Luo Xiaowei's voice echoed: "Don't be afraid of him!"
"Vortex!"
Streams of sword intent converged from all directions, carrying the heavy power of the stars, gathering before Liang Zifan.
Kai Ji plunged headfirst into this vortex of sword intent, feeling as if he had entered a meat grinder, his world turned upside down.
"Brother Wei is awesome!"
"Hurry, he'll break free in two seconds!"
Lightning flashed on Liang Zifan. He raised the [Soul Severing Blade] with both hands and roared, "Wrathful Thunder Vajra!"
Golden lightning enveloped him, and a colossal golden phantom appeared above Liang Zifan's head, its face ferocious, wielding a vajra pestle.
Another immortal technique, this was the one he had gained after winning the [Doomsday Reincarnation]. It manifested the lightning-controlling [Wrathful Thunder Vajra].
The [Wrathful Thunder Vajra] slammed down towards Kai Ji, who had just broken free from the sword intent vortex.
Kai Ji's pupils contracted, and he shouted in terror, "No!!!"
"Die!!"
"Boom!!"
The vajra pestle struck, and the sky was filled with roaring golden lightning.
Kai Ji's entire form turned into a plume of black smoke, dissipating into the world.
The first seventh-realm Sky-Slayer had fallen.
The massive [Wrathful Thunder Vajra] vanished as well. Liang Zifan swayed, his face pale, gasping for breath.
Using two immortal techniques consecutively had completely depleted his spiritual energy; he nearly fell.
Yet, even so, no other Sky-Slayer dared to attack him, as the spectacle he had just created was too awe-inspiring.
"I'm done for, Brother Wei. I'm out of mana. I need to temporarily withdraw and take some pills."
Luo Xiaowei directly slashed a sword curtain, forming layers that blocked a cold glint attacking Liang Zifan.
"You retreat first!"
Liang Zifan broke out in a cold sweat. There were still Sky-Slayers who intended to attack him.
The attacker was Pata, another seventh-realm Sky-Slayer.
Seeing his sneak attack blocked by Luo Xiaowei, he let out a sound of regret.
He was being fought by Meng Zibin.
Meng Zibin felt underestimated as he saw Pata diverting his attention to sneak attack his teammate.
"You still have the mind to care about others..."
"Boom!!"
Three-colored flames converged on Meng Zibin's body. The sun in the sky also shone down upon him.
"Heavenly Fire Blazing Plains, Ash Annihilates the Firmament!"
Pata's scalp tingled. These damned prodigies, anyone could unleash immortal techniques!
It was utterly absurd!
Streams of fire chased after Pata. He fled frantically, chilling cold erupting from his body as shields of condensed ice attempted to block these fire streams that coiled like chains.
But unfortunately, he couldn't block them.
The flames enveloped his body and then bloomed instantaneously, like spectacular fireworks.
Meng Zibin charged with the [Primordial Spear], thrusting towards the heavily wounded Pata.
Pata gritted his teeth and roared, "You are forcing me..."
Before he could finish, as he was about to activate [Demon Body Sacrifice to Heaven], a blue lamp appeared behind him.
The lamp spirit gently blew a breath towards Pata.
Then, white flames erupted, engulfing Pata, who was about to go berserk.
This cold was truly bone-chilling.
Pata felt his entire body frozen, including his blood and spiritual energy.
Then, he could only watch as a white spear directly pierced his forehead.
Meng Zibin's eyes were filled with killing intent, and he fiercely drove the spear into the ground.
"Boom!!!"
The ground cracked, forming a deep pit. Meng Zibin flung Pata's corpse off the spear.
These successive defeats caused the Sky-Slayers to panic.
How could they be beaten so badly? It shouldn't be like this; they were only in the Nascent Soul stage!
In the blink of an eye, two of their seventh-realm powerhouses were gone.
Meanwhile, the human cultivators who had followed them in felt a fire igniting within their hearts.
They had ventured in, witnessing the Ice Sword Mercenary Group slaughtering Sky-Slayers while being a realm higher!
This was a feat unprecedented since the war with the Sky-Slayers began. They were making history with the Ice Sword Mercenary Group!
