Chapter 341: Chapter 206 Blood Battle

"Boom!"

The giant axe fiercely struck Zhou Yan’s body, sending him flying through the air.

At the same time, Gong Yu’s giant axe rebounded with an even more terrifying speed. The immense rebound force tore the muscles of his arms apart, and the bones in his hands shattered, spewing crimson blood like a fountain!

"What?!"

Gong Yu’s immensely burly body froze in the Void, his face filled with muscles showing extreme shock. His hands trembled as his axe flew hundreds of miles away!

He shuddered, seemingly unable to believe it.

Zhou Yan was struck squarely on the shoulder by the axe. Despite the Soul Armor reducing the force by nearly ninety percent, the colossal power still harshly struck Zhou Yan, sending him flying with a mouthful of blood that he couldn’t hold back.

At that moment, Wu Yuan’s golden fist fiercely smashed into Zhou Yan’s chest. The Combat Armor vibrated fiercely again, reducing the attack energy by ninety percent, but still a terrifying destruction energy, akin to Inner Strength, penetrated Zhou Yan’s body.

Zhou Yan staggered backward again.

Emperor Kong’s silver giant sword also slashed down at his head at that moment.

"Swoosh—"

The Void seemed to split under this strike. Such unparalleled power, enough to annihilate the Void, ensured certain death if it struck the head, even with the protection of Soul Armor.

In the distant sky, numerous and diverse cultivators from the Human Clan watched the battle.

But no one made a move.

Even though Zhou Yan had killed many Outer Domain Cultivators and was now in a perilous situation, they all chose to stand by idly.

"A generation’s Emperor Qi Sword Body is likely to fall!"

"Not dying at the hands of Ji TaiXu, nor Ji Tianxu, not even Cailing Fairy or within the plans of Heavenly Destiny, but to perish at the hands of an Outer Domain genius."

"The legend of the Emperor Qi Sword Body is about to be shattered!"

"That talisman, it’s an Ancestor Talisman, suppressing everything. What resistance can there be? Only death awaits!"

Far away, some cultivators discussed fervently.

Nearby, Emperor Kong unleashed a strike with a hateful sneer: "Emperor Qi Wasted Body will definitely be crushed to dust!"

His sword was only inches away from striking Zhou Yan’s head.

But he saw Zhou Yan, shackled, suddenly revealing an equally sharp cold sneer.

That look was not of a lamb to be slaughtered but of a fierce, mad beast!

Emperor Kong’s heart suddenly chilled!

"You..."

Emperor Kong was deeply shocked, as he seemed to realize something, yet couldn’t fathom such a terrifying outcome.

"Spurt—"

Zhou Yan’s body eerily rose slightly, stepping back just enough to dodge the sword, and with terrifying speed, a Purple Flame flickering sword fiercely stabbed toward Emperor Kong’s head.

Then, unbelievably to everyone, the sword pierced through Emperor Kong’s head!

Viscous brain matter and bright blood spurted out like fountains, followed by Emperor Kong’s agonizing screams.

"Ah—"

"Boom—"

Before Zhou Yan could even unleash the terrifying Purple Flame, Emperor Kong’s head suddenly exploded, and from his body, a pure Divine Spring suddenly emerged, showering from above his head as if an Immortal Gourd was watering plants and trees!

In an instant, a new head grew out!

This scene stunned everyone, even Zhou Yan felt a slight shock in his heart!

Such was the ancient mysterious heritage that allowed for such flesh and blood regeneration!

If he had destroyed his Soul Sea any faster, resurrection would have been utterly impossible!

Zhou Yan knew this answer well, he just hadn’t been quick enough! However, Zhou Yan had no regrets, for he had done his utmost and yet, failed to prevent the opponent’s escape. At such a critical moment, the opponent’s extreme reaction demonstrated his formidable courage.

Such was the mark of genius. If it had been Ji Tianxu, he would undoubtedly be dead by now, with no chance of revival!

The newly resurrected Emperor Kong appeared disheveled, barely able to stand, even almost falling into the Void with a single step.

"Boom!"

In that instant, Zhou Yan rushed towards Emperor Kong without any hesitation. Even as his mind raced, it all happened in the blink of an eye. Just as the opponent attempted to flee, Zhou Yan approached him once more, unleashing a terrifying punch.

With time so critical, there was no opportunity to channel Sword Intent; Zhou Yan opted to strike with his fist.

The punch hit Emperor Kong’s head squarely, with no surprises.

However, Emperor Kong’s head was like a stubborn boulder. When Zhou Yan’s punch landed, sparks flew, but it did not shatter. It seemed as if the Emperor suffered no damage at all.

He merely got blasted away by the sheer force of Zhou Yan’s punch without showing any further anomalies.

"Hiss—"

Zhou Yan followed up with two punches, overpowering Emperor Kong with his Fist Intent, creating a grating screech in the air.

At that moment, Gong Yu called back his Giant Axe, erupting with endless wild strength, and roared as he attacked.

The fists of Wu Yuan shone with a glaring golden light.

Both men, facing grave danger from Emperor Kong, finally unleashed their full strength, no longer just going through the motions. They understood that holding back could result in disaster for them both.

"Roar—"

Emperor Kong roared. Six pairs of unseen, colorless translucent wings suddenly spread open, turning from transparency to a solid snowy-white brilliance.

His tangled black hair flew about, each strand bristling as if charged with awe-inspiring energy.

Roaring, his wings began to flutter, stirring tremendous energies between heaven and earth.

His wings continued to flap, each stroke potentially adding an invincible increase in energy. With endless energy accumulating, his body became as heavy as heaven and earth, and with a swing of his arms, the Void itself distorted irregularly.

"Die!"

Emperor Kong’s roar thundered like lightning!

The gusting wind from the Light Wings was immense, possessing divinity.

Under such power, Emperor Kong’s sword suddenly cleaved out, crushing the Void and displaying an invincible might akin to the creation of heaven and earth.

This striking blow was terrifying, filled with destructive power; the space roared tumultuously, its force as potent as the annihilation of heaven and earth.

At this moment, Zhou Yan’s Fist Intent shattered at the power of that sword strike. He fortified himself with all his Sword Intent for defense.

He did not attack but transformed into a defensive stance.

The Grey Dragon Sword Soul, White Tiger Sword Soul, and Flying Eagle Sword Soul, along with the remaining Nine Sword Spirits, formed a circle. It became a totem like Tai Chi, creating a ring of light that stood before him.

"Boom!"

Like a mushroom cloud, the energy born from the violent collision emerged. Even though Zhou Yan diverted some of this energy using "Soft Overcomes Hard," the recoil still caused his muscles to burst open.

Gaps appeared between the fingers of both hands.

Blood slowly seeped out, quickly staining his hands red.

His body, too, became bloodied from wounds opened by the shock!

At this moment, Gong Yu and Wu Yuan attacked once again.

A fierce and ruthless look flashed through Zhou Yan’s eyes. At this moment, he suddenly gathered the ancient Sword Intent and opened the Purple Flame Void!

Gong Yu’s body brimmed with explosive savagery, his eyes gleaming fiercely as he reached a state of frenzied attack.

The Fist Intent of Wu Yuan turned from golden to blood-red, his body seeming to burn with a fierce divine fire, his blood-red fists almost piercing the sky dome, possessing an unparalleled mighty power!
