The great fire had already begun to spread outwards from the streets, and angry roars and the crisp clang of blades striking each other could still be heard amidst the sea of flames.
On the overpass,
He Li severed the head of the last puppet corpse demon, kicked aside the demon's skull at his feet, took a deep breath, and leaped onto the guardrail by the roadside. He gazed at the sea of fire not far away, contemplating whether to go over,
but a very faint landing sound drew his thoughts back. He followed the sound and saw a man in a black leather jacket standing on the streetlamp, lean, dark-skinned, with a circle of beard around his mouth.
The man leaned down, crouched on the streetlamp, and looked at He Li, grinning, "Hundreds of corpse demons, it took a lot of time to create them. To think you've killed them all, you're truly strong.
Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Mad Dog, a servant of the Master."
He Li pointed his saber at the sea of fire and asked, "Your master is... Qie?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
Mad Dog revealed a ferocious face, his long tongue licking his sharp teeth, his nose twitching greedily as he savored the scent of the sea of corpses and blood He Li had created on the overpass.
"Your flesh and blood smells so good, containing immense energy. If I ate you, I should be able to evolve again."
Mad Dog's words sent shivers down He Li's spine. The next moment, Mad Dog's lean body began to swell and grow violently, his bones piercing through the leather jacket, and gray-black fur sprouted on his face...
He Li's gaze sharpened, and he vanished from his spot. Instantly, he appeared beside Mad Dog and slashed out with his saber. With a *chi* sound, Mad Dog's shoulder and chest were split diagonally. At the same time, Mad Dog was also sent flying by He Li's strike, crashing heavily into the ruins beside the overpass.
Thinking of transforming?
Do you think I'll give you the chance?
He Li sneered disdainfully and looked back at the sea of fire.
Boom!!!
A massive explosion,
The ruins where Mad Dog had just crashed erupted, and a gray-black figure flashed past, landing on the overpass.
He Li frowned. He saw clearly: it was a werewolf over three meters tall, covered in gray-black fur, with sharp claws and teeth. The shoulder and chest that had been split by He Li were slowly healing.
Mad Dog looked at He Li and laughed maniacally, "What a pity. You should have split me in half, otherwise I wouldn't die. With the dual regenerative abilities of transformation and a demon body, I'm already close to immortality."
Chichichi...
Mad Dog swung his claws, his sharp claws tearing through the concrete guardrail of the overpass, exposing the steel bars within and scattering sparks. The asphalt road was also scored with claw marks.
He Li ignored him, his attention fixed on the battle within the sea of fire, which was drawing to a close.
However, He Li's disregard enraged Mad Dog, who roared and charged at him.
Mad Dog extended his claws, his eyes glowing with blood-red light, and lunged at He Li, who stood on the streetlamp.
He Li leaned back, dodging Mad Dog's claws, and thrust his saber into Mad Dog's head with his right hand. Then, with another flash of his blade, Mad Dog's head was chopped off by He Li.
Due to Mad Dog's swift and fierce charge, his body maintained its forward momentum even after his head was severed, flying forward.
The two strikes were too fast, happening in an instant.
Mad Dog's severed head still hung on He Li's saber.
He Li kept his eyes on the sea of fire. With a flick of his wrist, Mad Dog's head slid off the saber and fell onto the road, becoming part of the mountain of corpses formed by hundreds of puppet corpse demons.
Not far away,
In the battlefield of fire and blood,
Qie elegantly retreated half a step, evading Hong Si's strike, and with extreme speed, plunged a emerald green ice crystal into Hong Si's neck.
"Ah!!!" Hong Si let out a pained roar. She stumbled, and without the slightest hesitation, plunged her twin blades into her own chest, directly at her heart. But she found herself already beginning to demonize, gradually losing control of her body.
"Captain!"
Green patterns covered Hong Si's neck, face, and slender legs. Her hair grew rapidly, and her muscles began to bulge and writhe. She shouted towards Tong Yun.
Tong Yun forced Qie back with a saber strike, then leaped backward with a graceful somersault, landing behind Hong Si. With a swift movement, a flash of bright saber light streaked across Hong Si's neck.
Bang!
Hong Si's corpse fell to the ground.
Tong Yun, without a moment's hesitation, crossed Hong Si's body and charged towards Qie again.
"Kill!"
Tong Yun roared inwardly. At this moment, he was like a dying old dog, desperately raising its claws, baring its fangs, and biting at the enemy before him.
Flames of spiritual power erupted around him, clear and pure azure flames intertwining with the surrounding red flames. Holding his twin sabers in reverse grip, he charged forward like a high-speed train, fiercely colliding with the demon.
His clothes burned to ash, followed by his skin and flesh slowly turning into flying ash. He was burning himself. A spiritual warrior of the Lingyun realm, every corner of his body contained spiritual power. His red flesh mixed with azure spiritual power, churning into an azure and red storm.
Qie looked at Tong Yun, who was charging towards her, and laughed with excitement. She was like a cruel leopard, catching its prey, not to kill, but to constantly toy with it.
She leaped up and stood on a car that had been burned into an iron frame. With a wave of her long sword, a giant shadow like butterfly wings unfurled behind her.
Countless puppet corpse demons roared and charged out from the shadow, like a monstrous tidal wave, instantly filling the entire street.
The flames were burning the puppet corpse demons, but more puppet corpse demons rushed out from the shadow, stepping on the puppet corpse demons already being incinerated by the flames.
The flames created by the spiritual power combustion bombs extinguished, replaced by countless puppet corpse demons.
Boom boom boom...
Tong Yun plunged directly into the army of puppet corpse demons, leaving behind severed limbs and a sky full of blood.
"Captain!"
Tong Yun froze, then looked back. It was Li Mingjia.
Li Mingjia's arm had been bitten off by puppet corpse demons, and his body was mangled. With only half of his body remaining, he was held high by the puppet corpse demons, as if they were showing off their spoils.
He looked at Tong Yun, his face covered in blood, and smiled.
Then,
He forcefully lifted his remaining arm and plunged the short knife in his hand into his throat.
Ch...
A sword light flashed in front of Tong Yun. Tong Yun raised his saber to block, but was still sent flying. After rolling several times on the ground, he steadied himself and stood in front of the army of puppet corpse demons. He looked up at Qie, who stood high above like a queen.
He bent down, picked up his severed right arm, bit down on the hilt of the saber, and threw his right arm aside.
He looked at Qie, and a passage came to mind:
The most glorious moments in a person's life are not when they achieve fame and success, but when courage and confidence to face the unknown fear of despair and sorrow are born, and when they bravely step forward with their will.
Stomp!
Stomp!
He Li and Bai Fei descended from the sky, dual sabers in hand, standing in front of Tong Yun.
He Li smiled and asked, "Need some help?"
Tong Yun, like a dying beast, suddenly looked up.
