Chen Tian's long sword shattered directly upon touching Yun Shui Kuang Long's body. Fortunately, Chen Tian reacted quickly and pulled himself away. Yun Shui Kuang Long was now completely different from before, looking entirely like a member of the Evil Spirit race. When Yun Shui Kuang Long produced the black pill, Chen Tian had sensed it was a condensed essence of the Evil Spirit race, but he hadn't expected it to transform a person completely into one. He wondered when the Evil Spirit race had developed such a thing, and how the world would fare if it spread.
It seemed that eliminating the Yun Shui Guild and the Ba Tian Guild was an urgent matter. The might of the Evil Spirit race far surpassed Chen Tian's previous understanding. He was certain this method was conceived by a traitor; the Evil Spirit race alone couldn't have come up with such a scheme. They disdained such tactics. However, if it was driven by someone's hatred towards him, seeking to inflict suffering upon the entire world, having lost all humanity, Chen Tian decided to confront that person after this matter was resolved. He looked at Yun Shui Kuang Long, who had transformed into an Evil Spirit. His aura was even more formidable than before, wielding the Evil Spirit Spear, his black claws sharp, and black wings unfurled behind him, his pupils an abysmal black.
Two long black horns grew from his head, his teeth were sharp, and his face was contorted into a狰狞 expression, more terrifying than a demon's. This was a side effect of the drug, disfiguring one's appearance. Chen Tian held onto one thought: this drug must have a time limit. For the current Yun Shui Kuang Long, Chen Tian would need to use his full strength. However, with his Reincarnation Body, forty percent of his power would be enough to contend with Yun Shui Kuang Long, creating a six-four advantage in his favor, with Chen Tian at sixty percent and Yun Shui Kuang Long at forty.
Yun Shui Kuang Long glared at Chen Tian with a ferocious expression, his anger surging. "Kid, using my trump card, I'll kill you. I've been reduced to this state because of you, and I'll tear you to pieces!"
"You sold your soul to become a lackey of the Evil Spirit race. You should understand the consequences. I've already shown you respect by not killing you myself," Chen Tian replied coldly. Yun Shui Kuang Long, his mind clouded by rage, couldn't comprehend Chen Tian's words. Regardless, he would tear Chen Tian to pieces. In his current form, he was no longer human but an anomaly, destined to be ostracized wherever he went. Damn it, he would dismember Chen Tian and torture him to death. With a flash, a black silhouette lunged at Chen Tian. Chen Tian's eyes were filled with intense focus. In his perception, Yun Shui Kuang Long's speed had increased by three hundred percent compared to before. Fortunately, his Divine Eyes were enhanced, allowing him to track Yun Shui Kuang Long's movements. Chen Tian unleashed a palm strike behind him, and a thunderous boom echoed.
The shockwave swept out, and Chen Tian's palm collided with the black claws. A cold glint flashed as the Evil Spirit Spear pierced through from Chen Tian's left. Chen Tian lightly flicked his long sword upwards, the blade clashing with the spearhead. Yun Shui Kuang Long's entire body was enveloped in black energy, which coalesced on his claws. Chen Tian retreated a few steps, forcefully stabilizing himself. Yun Shui Kuang Long pressed his advantage, swinging the Evil Spirit Spear directly, countless spear shadows and florets intertwining before Chen Tian. Chen Tian raised his sword arm in an arc, transforming his single long sword into six or seven, which rotated and intertwined before him, forming a shield.
The sword-shield defended against all attacks. Chen Tian's eyes glowed, and he thrust his sword forward. This strike pierced the heavens, a beam of sword light shooting towards the sky and then streaking towards Yun Shui Kuang Long. This was an attack condensed from three types of sword intent. Sword intent was a form of energy, and Chen Tian could exert absolute control over any energy. As the sword light shot out, it was like a rainbow, shattering all incoming attacks and breaking through layers of difficulty to reach Yun Shui Kuang Long.
Yun Shui Kuang Long was surprised by Chen Tian's unexpected move, a powerful one. However, he felt invincible against anyone in his current state. Immense power could lead one to lose their way. Yun Shui Kuang Long was in such a state. Chen Tian perceived Yun Shui Kuang Long's arrogance: there were always greater beings and stronger individuals. He should have remembered that principle. Underestimating an opponent meant you had already lost.
Chen Tian's sword reached Yun Shui Kuang Long. Yun Shui Kuang Long condensed the Evil Spirit energy throughout his body into a black shield. This sword light, an attack formed from three sword intents, struck the shield but had no effect. Chen Tian showed surprise, his expression becoming grave. It seemed the essence Yun Shui Kuang Long had consumed was not ordinary Evil Spirit essence. This aura was identical to that of an Evil General.
The Evil Spirit race behind the Yun Shui Guild was an Evil General. This realization weighed heavily on Chen Tian's mind. An Evil General was not easily defeated. Chen Tian himself couldn't claim a one hundred percent chance of killing one. Yun Shui Kuang Long, seeing Chen Tian's troubled expression, assumed it was due to his overwhelming power. Seizing the moment of Chen Tian's distraction, Yun Shui Kuang Long attacked decisively. Chen Tian flickered, and two beams of light flashed.
Concepts like time and space became irrelevant against their speed. Chen Tian's long sword moved with ethereal grace, carrying killing intent. Yun Shui Kuang Long's Evil Spirit Spear was fierce and unyielding, capable of overpowering anything in its path.
Both the spear and the sword were kings among weapons. The spear was unyielding, never retreating. A slight advantage in length meant a stronger offense. The sword was the pinnacle of martial might, the leader of all weapons, with diverse and unpredictable methods of use. The two ultimate figures collided, sword light and spear shadows erupting incessantly. Chen Tian and Yun Shui Kuang Long fought for a long time before separating. Chen Tian's arm trembled slightly. In their previous clash, Chen Tian had been at a disadvantage. He had underestimated the power of the Evil Spirit Spear, considering it a mere imitation. Yet, its strength was thirty percent of the original weapon.
If an imitation possessed thirty percent of the power, the complete weapon would be even more formidable. Chen Tian sensed it was an imitation because the Evil Spirit Spear felt incomplete to him, clearly an imperfect prototype, the first one created. Yun Shui Kuang Long was the experimental subject. Yun Shui Kuang Long remained unaware of Chen Tian's unspoken warning; Chen Tian understood the principle of reaping what one sowed.
Yun Shui Kuang Long's fear of Chen Tian grew even stronger. Even in his current state, he couldn't defeat Chen Tian. Just how powerful was this guy? Could he possibly kill him? This thought flashed and vanished. It was impossible; he would not die. He still intended to dominate the entire world.
Yun Shui Kuang Long steadied his resolve and met Chen Tian's gaze. Chen Tian's arm had just recovered, and he stood before Yun Shui Kuang Long, holding his long sword quietly. Yun Shui Kuang Long sensed that Chen Tian was still hiding his strength, but his fear didn't overcome him. He still believed himself to be the most powerful. Chen Tian made up his mind to strike decisively, unwilling to let Yun Shui Kuang Long gain the upper hand. In their previous exchanges, Chen Tian had discovered that Yun Shui Kuang Long's combat skills were not as refined as his own.
The opponent's combat experience was ample. Chen Tian was puzzled. Logically, players shouldn't possess such extensive combat awareness and experience. Chen Tian had acquired his combat experience and deductive abilities by integrating memories from two different worlds. Yet, Yun Shui Kuang Long's combat experience was on par with his. His combat techniques, however, were rather rudimentary. There were still secrets within the Yun Shui Guild for Chen Tian to uncover.
Chen Tian's figure blurred into afterimages, swaying left and right, sword light appearing, illusory and real, making it difficult to discern. Yun Shui Kuang Long made a quick decision, aiming the Evil Spirit Spear at his eight o'clock position and slashing fiercely. The Evil Spirit Spear unleashed a black spear beam from Yun Shui Kuang Long's grasp. The eight o'clock direction was precisely where Chen Tian's real body was. Yun Shui Kuang Long had accurately pinpointed Chen Tian's true position.
Chen Tian couldn't believe it. Facing the spear beam, Chen Tian swung his sword, sword energy crisscrossing, forming a pure white blade. The sword blade collided with the spear blade, and a massive explosion erupted. Chen Tian rushed out from the blast, drawing his sword and unleashing a Sword Draw Slash!
Spell: God-Slaying Sword Draw Technique!
This was Chen Tian's strongest spell, a self-created technique of the highest destructive power, its magnitude indescribable. With a single sword strike, the entire world fell silent. Time, space, sky, earth, air currents – everything froze. Chen Tian's sword descended as if nothing had happened.
When the world returned to normal, a deep sword gash ran across Yun Shui Kuang Long's body. Yun Shui Kuang Long cried out in pain. Looking at the sword mark, he saw a deep gash across his waist, revealing bone. The physical resilience of the Evil Spirit race was formidable; otherwise, Yun Shui Kuang Long would have been dead from that strike.
Yun Shui Kuang Long turned to face Chen Tian. As he tried to move, he found his body unresponsive. Chen Tian, holding his long sword, walked towards Yun Shui Kuang Long. That previous strike had evaporated and destroyed Yun Shui Kuang Long's nerves and blood vessels. Without these, a person was no different from a vegetative state.
Yun Shui Kuang Long stood frozen, watching Chen Tian approach, and stammered, "No, don't, don't kill me. I want to live. We are both human. You can't kill me."
"Hahaha, you amuse me. Do you still consider yourself human in this state? The moment you collaborated with the Evil Spirit race, you ceased to be human. You are destined to be slain by me, and I will annihilate your entire guild."
Chen Tian's cold gaze fixed on Yun Shui Kuang Long. Yun Shui Kuang Long realized Chen Tian truly intended to kill him.
Chen Tian raised his sword and brought it down. With a swish, Yun Shui Kuang Long's body was bisected before Chen Tian's long sword.
