Beasts?
Black Scaled King narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.
He hated it the most when humans called members of the Demon Clan beasts, especially since his opponent was also a Demon!
"Since that's the case, then go to hell!"
Black Scaled King sneered, diving toward Su Yie, his claws elongating as if gripping several steel knives, tearing through the air and producing the sound of a vacuum being punctured.
Just perfect!
Su Yie grinned, his smile chillingly fierce.
Under the influence of the Zhou Wu Sword, he suddenly felt that Black Scaled King was not so terrifying after all.
Black Scaled King burst forth at top speed, a Black Arrow killing its way into the battlefield, quickly arriving in front of Su Yie. Everything happened in the blink of an eye; Black Scaled King aimed a claw at Su Yie's neck, intending to behead him.
Puchi—
Blood splattered; Black Scaled King streaked past Su Yie, landing behind him a distance not further than ten meters from a pile of corpses.
The two stood still, the scene seemingly frozen in time.
At that moment, an arm covered in black scales spiraled down, landing between the two of them.
Su Yie still held the stance of a swordsman, with blood flowing over the blade of the Zhou Wu Sword, dripping onto the ground.
"How could this be..."
Black Scaled King's body trembled, his face displaying utter disbelief. There, blood poured from his right shoulder, where the stark white of bone was faintly visible.
This scene absolutely terrified the surrounding Demon Beasts.
In their minds, how powerful was their King to be amputated by this Half-Demon?
Even Elder Lord Qi Yang was startled.
"This lad..."
Elder Lord Qi Yang's eyes widened in shock. In his view, although Su Yie was strong, he clearly wasn't on the same level as Black Scaled King, yet now he had managed to wound Black Scaled King?
What a terrifying rate of growth!
A prodigy!
An absolute prodigy!
It was then that Su Yie violently turned around, his right foot stomping down, causing the ground of the ruins to crack.
Ten meters was such a close distance for them!
Black Scaled King instinctively retreated, but it was too late; the tip of the sword was already upon his chest.
Their eyes met, and he saw the terrifying intent to kill in Su Yie's eyes.
Even he, accustomed to killing, felt a chill in his heart.
"Those eyes..."
Black Scaled King was afraid, hastily using his left hand to defend.
The sword pierced through his palm as easily as cutting tofu, but he was ruthless, using his own hand bone to forcibly trap the Zhou Wu Sword, preventing its tip from reaching his throat.
Swish swish swish!
Three streaks of black light shot out from Black Scaled King's waist, attacking Su Yie like darts.
With a flick of his right hand, Su Yie shattered Black Scaled King's left palm with the Zhou Wu Sword, drawing several sword flowers in the air to knock down the three streaks of black light, which turned out to be three scales.
Seeing that things were going badly, Black Scaled King turned tail to flee.
Having lost both arms, his strength greatly diminished. He could no longer face Su Yie head-on.
Su Yie had just returned to peak state, plus being spurred on by the Zhou Wu Sword. How could he let him escape?
Boom!
Su Yie bent his legs, blasting off the ground like a cannonball and soared into the sky, captured by the live broadcast cameras.
Bare-chested, he was like a deity, dazzling countless people.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Su Yie's eyes were icy as he leaped toward Black Scaled King.
Although severely injured, Black Scaled King's reflexes and speed were intact, and he dodged with ease.
And so, Su Yie began to relentlessly chase Black Scaled King, slaying all the Demon Beasts they encountered along the way with effortless ease, like slicing through vegetables.
"Running? Keep running!"
Su Yie's crazed laughter followed from behind, egging on Black Scaled King.
Perhaps it was because of the Zhou Wu Sword, but Su Yie's speed was faster, his strength greater, doubling the pressure on Black Scaled King.
Every time Black Scaled King thought to take to the skies, Su Yie's Sword Qi would attack from behind, chopping him down, driving him to the brink of madness.
"Throw the sword!"
At that moment, that mysterious voice sounded again within Su Yie's mind, startling Su Yie into subconsciously throwing out the Zhou Wu Sword.
Hissss—
The long sword cleaved through the air, crisscrossed atop mountains of corpses, and beheaded the Demon Beasts one by one at the speed of lightning before piercing through the head of the Black Scaled King.
Boom!
The head of the Black Scaled King exploded like a watermelon, his body fell forward, and he violently knelt to the ground with blood splattered everywhere.
A Demon King had thus fallen!
Silence!
The entire battlefield fell silent as all the Demon Beasts stopped in their tracks. Those on the surrounding corpse mountains trembled in fear, not daring to advance.
Elder Lord Qi Yang, perched above the Demon Cloud, watched with his mouth agape, his face full of disbelief.
The Black Scaled King was dead just like that?
Hahahahaha—
The Zhou Wu Sword spun back into Su Yie's hand. Su Yie himself was slightly stunned.
Holy shit!
This sword is alive!
A Sword Demon?
Su Yie instinctively wanted to throw the Zhou Wu Sword away, but it clung to his palm and he couldn't shake it off.
"Awooo—"
Atop a mountain of corpses behind him, a giant wolf raised its head and howled. After howling, it turned and ran away as fast as it could.
The other Demon Beasts also fled. Some of the more intellectually mature Demon Beasts even spoke in human language.
"The king is dead!"
"Run for it!"
"It's over! The king is dead! If we don't run, we'll die too!"
"Ssss— How is this possible!"
And so, the Demon Beast army retreated like a receding tide.
Everyone in the city who was watching the live broadcast held their breath. What's going on?
The Demon Beast army is retreating?
Tan Quanming and others were also extremely anxious because they hadn't seen the footage of the Zhou Wu Sword decapitating the Black Scaled King, so they couldn't be sure of what had happened. What if Su Yie had died instead?
Just then, Su Yie suddenly climbed atop the highest mountain of corpses, allowing the live broadcast cameras to focus on him.
"Zoom in on the picture!"
Tan Quanming quickly ordered, the staff nodded, and the live broadcast began to zoom in on Su Yie.
There he was, Su Yie, raising the Zhou Wu Sword high. Under the sunlight, his blood-covered body and muscles glistened with a metallic sheen, revealing a wild and iron-blooded bearing.
"The Black Scaled King has been slain by me!"
Su Yie roared with all his might towards Xiwan City, his voice breaking with rage as he vented his ferocity!
His voice echoed over Xiwan City for a long time, overwhelmingly domineering!
Silence!
The city went silent, but in a few seconds, a thunderous cheer erupted.
"We've won!"
"Oh my God! Su Yie won!"
"Holy shit! The Black Scaled King has been killed!"
"F*ck! Is Su Yie a god? He's too strong!"
"From now on, Su Yie is my faith!"
Everyone started to get excited, and the people at the edge of the city rushed towards the battlefield like a tidal wave, Tam Quanming included, running over in excitement.
The crisis of Xiwan City had thus been lifted.
Under the scorching sun, the desert battlefield was littered with Demon Beast corpses and rivers of blood. Standing atop a mountain of corpses, Su Yie was like a War God.
This scene was captured in screenshots by many in the city with their cellphones.
"Su Yie! Su Yie! Su Yie…"
At that moment, shouts rang out within Xiwan City, as its people left their houses, shouting Su Yie's name on the streets. The voices of hundreds of thousands of people came together in a spectacular chorus that was so powerful it shook the clouds in The Sky Dome.
The name of Su Yie echoed between heaven and earth as if it were a god's.
Now, Nan Xiaopao finally reached the edge of the city. She ran with the crowd towards the battlefield, her face brimming with surprise and tears streaming uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.
What of an army of tens of thousands of Demon Beasts!
What of a mighty and incomparable Demon King!
Su Yie alone had slain the Demon King and repelled the Demon Army!
