Chapter 678: Chapter 478 Undying Sword King

If we don’t count the previous scarlet fishhook with eyes, the thing before us, known as the Undying Sword King by other adventurers, should be the most formidable evil object Li Yi has encountered so far. Not to mention, the extravagant equipment it bears prominently highlights its prowess; if it can be hunted down, the rewards would surely be plentiful.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a silver blade gang instantly slashed through the darkness, flying towards the monster called the Undying Sword King.

Li Yi took the initiative to strike first; he wanted to test the quality of this entity, to see its true strength.

Unexpectedly, this skull monster with a treasure sword on its back neither evaded nor avoided but ignored his attack, still striding forward, voluntarily meeting the radiant silver blade gang.

The blade gang struck the monster’s red armor and instantly shattered, while the red armor remained undamaged, as pristine as ever.

Upon seeing this, Li Yi’s expression slightly changed.

Although his probing attack wasn’t particularly strong, and the gang qi didn’t carry mana, it shouldn’t have been so easily defended against. At the very least, it should’ve left some marks, but it resulted like this.

Yet, this strike seemed to anger the monster known as the Undying Sword King; at this moment, it slowly drew the gleaming treasure sword from its back.

The next moment.

Its figure suddenly disappeared from the original spot, ridiculously fast, in just the blink of an eye, it was already behind Li Yi.

The treasure sword slashed down, and before even getting close, a sword light detached from the blade and shot out.

However, although Li Yi was currently unable to utilize Daoist skills, he was still a formidable martial artist, besides being an evolver with a divine bloodline, boasting a terrifyingly robust physique. He reacted quickly, immediately dodging this fierce slash, followed by a resounding burst of immense qi-blood from the twelve major acupoints within his body.

Abandoning the axe, another punch came forth—silver fist light dazzlingly brilliant, while the air shattered once again, echoing like a thunderclap.

A long-unused killing move reemerged.

This strike was akin to the Thunder God’s Hammer, deafening.

Yet the skull monster reacted swiftly, raising its sword to block.

Li Yi’s punch landed on the sword, generating a powerful force that whipped up a fierce whirlwind of fist wind around; it seemed to form a storm of gang qi, instantly pulverizing nearby evil objects into a mist of blood.

Even such mighty force failed to shatter this sword, merely forcing the Undying Sword King to retreat several steps.

The hollow-eyed monster’s sockets flickered with light, possibly astonished by Li Yi’s formidable strength, failing to counterattack.

But that’s all there is to it.

The skull monster’s treasure sword stirred, but at the next moment, another fist shattered the air, accompanied by the roar of wind and thunder, impacting instantly.

Once again, the Undying Sword King raised its sword in defense.

Boom!

Thunder roared, and terrifying gang qi swept through the darkness as enormous strength unleashed again; the Undying Sword King’s figure retreated several steps once more, but this strike was successfully blocked.

But before the Undying Sword King could counter, Li Yi’s third punch arrived once more, this time with the martial artist’s eager expression on his face.

After blocking his punches, still dare to retreat?

Martial artists throw punches striving for momentum; once the momentum is gained, they show no mercy, punch after punch until the opponent can no longer withstand and is hammered to death.

After blocking the third punch, the Undying Sword King grew increasingly furious; it wouldn’t allow itself to be suppressed by prey, nor would it permit continuous retreat.

It was a king.

The skull monster’s hollow eye sockets soared with brilliance, as if ignited by rage, it refused to defend against the fourth punch, raising its sword intending to cut down Li Yi, unconcerned about enduring a punch.

But as the fourth punch approached, the Undying Sword King suddenly hesitated.

This punch was akin to an angry-eyed Buddha, showcasing vajra methods to annihilate all beings.

Clearly, the fourth punch carried Li Yi’s fist intent.

Spirit suppressed, the heart for counterattack instantly vanished; it hastily continued to block although blocking this punch, its figure retreated several more steps. Before it could adjust, that angry-eyed vajra again descended with a killing fist, in this situation, you can only parry, otherwise, you have no chance to strike.

The fifth punch was blocked once more; the Undying Sword King’s form retreated, opening its mouth attempting to roar, the light in its eyes turned red, extremely furious.

However, the sixth punch arrived once more.

This punch contained swirling crimson hues; Li Yi harnessed mana to enhance it; amid the explosion of fist intent and gang qi, merely sensing it invoked a feeling of being melted by scorching fire.

Now the Undying Sword King dared not underestimate this strike despite its rage; it proactively raised its sword to block.

Yet, following this punch, its body staggered, retreating even farther.

And amidst these punches, its heart for resisting and fighting was being blunted, its spirit was forcibly suppressed by fist intent, resulting ultimately in forgetting to retaliate, reduced to passively defending against Li Yi’s assaults. After repeated defenses, it began to doubt itself, believing it can’t defeat the towering enemy before it.

Once the resolve wanes, the power wanes likewise, and the eventual outcome is nothing but defeat and death.

This is the mystery behind the martial artist duels within the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

This scene was witnessed by other adventurers, and it completely overturned their understanding. They couldn’t believe that someone could suppress the legendary Undying Sword King, making him utterly unable to counterattack and only barely able to defend.

But can the power of those punches really be achieved by a human?

Breaking the air was one thing, but every punch felt like a lightning strike, so terrifying that people dared not approach.

Perhaps only an evil object like the Undying Sword King could withstand such punches.

Any other evil object would have been smashed by a few punches.

"With such unimaginable terrifying strength, is it still impossible to defeat the Undying Sword King?" Seeing this, Sun Fei instead showed a look of worry, because while Li Yi’s punches were incredibly terrifying, the Undying Sword King had not been injured so far. On the contrary, he blocked all of Li Yi’s attacks.

In fact, if the opponent were human, Li Yi would have already won at this point, because the enemy would repeatedly be defeated and ultimately die. However, the Undying Sword King is an evil object from the Dark World and cannot be judged by common sense.

When Li Yi approached and punched again, the Skull Monster began to grow crimson flesh all over its body, and its aura continued to climb. In no time, the skeleton monster turned into a tall, handsome man. However, this man’s face was ashen, not like a living person, but more like a cold corpse.

"Boom!"

The Fist Gang erupted, and a surge of intense flames rose. The skull monster with flesh chose to take the hit directly, but it did not retreat.

The corner of its stiff mouth showed a cruel smile.

"Are you kidding me, the Undying Sword King has a second form?" Seeing this, someone exclaimed in shock.

This scene left everyone who had been amazed by Li Yi’s strength feeling a chill in their hearts.

Second form?

There’s no way to win now, it’s over, everyone is going to die today.

Li Yi looked at the corpse that didn’t retreat after taking his punch and suddenly frowned.

In its second form, the opponent’s physical strength had already surpassed his own.

Could the evil objects of this world become so powerful?

But the Undying Sword King did not speak. Suddenly, the treasure sword in his hands slashed down, with a speed invisible to the naked eye. Moreover, its power was so great that it shattered the air, bringing a series of roars as if the darkness itself had blown apart.

With just the aftermath, a building behind him with its lights out was immediately severed into two sections, then began to slowly collapse.

"The building was cut in half? Is, is the legend true, that the Undying Sword King can really cleave buildings?" At this moment, Sun Fei felt all strength leave his body.

With such a monster lurking in the Dark World, do the people inside the building have any hope of survival?

The world will be destroyed by it sooner or later.

It wasn’t just him, all the other adventurers in the carriage also fell instantly silent, as if the years of belief that monsters couldn’t destroy buildings and that hiding in buildings was relatively safe had been shattered today.

The legendary monster could indeed cleave buildings.

However, this deadly strike did not hit Li Yi.

In an instant, a thick mist spread, and Li Yi’s figure suddenly disappeared.

This was the Cloud Riding Technique.

Li Yi’s figure reappeared in the mist, his feet stepping on auspicious clouds, floating in mid-air, holding the Xuanhuang Seal with his hand, like a celestial being: "You have a second form? Sorry, so do I."

The Undying Sword King was momentarily stunned.

As if he had never seen such a situation before.

"I hope you have a third form to withstand my Xuanhuang Seal." He was prepared to use a Dao Artifact to annihilate this monster, otherwise, prolonged dreams would pose risks.

However, at the next moment.

There came a sound of dragon’s roar and tiger’s roar nearby, followed by a figure appearing out of thin air and kicking the Undying Sword King.

Caught off guard, the Undying Sword King was kicked away, and his body exploded with a sonic boom, then flew out like a cannonball, smashing through a building in an instant. He then flew toward an unknown dark depth, completely disappearing from everyone’s sight.

Just as Li Yi was about to take action, he was momentarily stunned seeing the enemy already gone.

"Li Yi, don’t use Daoist skills, or you’ll be easily targeted by powerful evil objects in the dark,"

At this moment, Xuan Yuezi spoke. Now possessing Dragon and Tiger Power, her every move exuded immense might. The cold corpse in red armor, although somewhat special, was far from enough in front of a Cultivation Expert.

"Immortal, your power is truly terrifying," Li Yi said with lingering fear.

So this is Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing, the strength displayed by a Tri-Floral Realm expert?

He had been fighting the Undying Sword King for a while, yet couldn’t match Xuan Yuezi’s single kick.

Xuan Yuezi felt a bit embarrassed: "That kick of mine is comparable to the power of one dragon and two tigers; it’s normal that the evil object couldn’t withstand it."
