"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
"Roar!"
Wang Zhong let out a wild roar, his sonic waves rolling, piercing clouds and cracking stones, causing nearby houses to collapse and the earth to rupture. Those onlookers with weaker strength were even more so, their bodies bleeding from their seven orifices under this roar.
His shoulders rose high and then fell heavily, his heavy breaths churning the murderous aura and red mist like bellows.
Under the gaze of the King of Slaughter, the wound on Wang Zhong's chest that had split him open wriggled, grew, and healed in the blink of an eye.
"What kind of monster is this!" The King of Slaughter's eyes widened, his astonishment beyond containment.
Such a severe injury would have killed an ordinary person long ago, and it was impossible to heal so quickly even with spirit skills. Moreover, in that instant, he had felt no fluctuations of spirit power from Wang Zhong.
This meant that the opponent had healed the fatal wound purely through the regenerative ability of his physical body!
With such powerful self-healing, what else could he be but a monster!
Gritting his teeth, Wang Zhong stared at the King of Slaughter with blood-red eyes, his killing intent and ferocity solidifying. A red light shot out from them.
The red light was cold and sharp, impossibly fast, slicing through the earth as if it were paper.
His pupils constricted, and the King of Slaughter moved to dodge. But the red light was too fast. Even though he sensed danger and vibrated his bat wings, he was still pierced through the right shoulder by the red light.
"Ah!"
The King of Slaughter clutched his shoulder, crying out in pain. A blood hole the size of a thumb appeared, blood splashing out. The soul-piercing chill emanating from the hole made him cry out in agony.
"Killing intent solidified into a blade!"
"How did this guy do it!"
The King of Slaughter gritted his teeth, looking at Wang Zhong with a mixture of shock and anger.
Solidified killing intent into a blade was an attack that erupted when the Slaughter God Domain was at its most perfect state.
Wang Zhong had not completed the hundred-stage Hell Slaughter Arena, nor had he passed the Hell Road. He shouldn't have a Slaughter God Domain at all. Yet, he had somehow bypassed this step and directly condensed his killing intent into a blade that shot from his eyes, wounding him.
The King of Slaughter gripped the Shura Divine Sword tightly in his right hand, blood-red killing aura surging out and spreading around them. Under the shroud of this blood-red killing aura, his momentum continued to rise.
"I will make you suffer the most excruciating torment..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Wang Zhong's figure had vanished from his original position, turning into a bloody lightning bolt that instantly appeared before the King of Slaughter. With his fingers spread, he grabbed the King of Slaughter's face and violently pressed it down.
Boom!
Centered on Wang Zhong, the ground was torn apart by brute force, and a massive annular crack with a diameter of a hundred meters suddenly appeared.
In the center of the crack, under Wang Zhong's hand, a patch of blood spread and filled the crack. The King of Slaughter lay there, barely breathing, his body twitching.
"Roar!"
Wang Zhong, completely dominated by killing intent and bloodlust, had transformed into the most brutal and violent king. He held the King of Slaughter's head and suddenly began to run.
The earth was plowed like a field, leaving a bloody, deep furrow. All the houses in his path were smashed to pieces.
After dragging him for over a hundred meters, Wang Zhong forcefully flung the King of Slaughter, sending him flying from the ground. He then leaped high into the air and delivered a whip kick, crashing down from the sky towards the King of Slaughter, whose fate was unknown.
If he had been hit by this kick, the King of Slaughter would have exploded into bloody mist on the spot!
However, just as the kick was about to land, an even more terrifying and violent aura erupted from the King of Slaughter. Deep blue lightning pierced through the red clouds, covering an area of a hundred meters.
A colossal hammer, impossibly large and filled with boundless weight and dominance, suddenly erupted from the ground. The fierce wind generated by the hammer swept up debris from the ground, turning it to powder mid-air!
The power of this single hammer strike was capable of splitting mountains and shattering the earth!
Hammer and kick collided in mid-air, and furious winds spread, crushing and annihilating the earth inch by inch.
"Exploding Ring!"
A deep and majestic male voice sounded. Nine spirit rings, eight black and one red, rose from the shattered ground. The first black spirit ring exploded under this command.
As the spirit ring detonated, a hurricane surged into the sky, bringing even greater power. With this strength, the giant hammer forcefully sent Wang Zhong flying.
The giant hammer landed, shaking the ground violently. The King of Slaughter, who had previously worn bloody armor and possessed bat wings, now appeared different.
His blood-colored armor dissipated, replaced by a form-fitting deep brown leather outfit. He remained tall and imposing, but now he appeared more profound and steady.
Taking a few shallow breaths, Tang Chen, who had regained control of his body from the Blood Red Nine Bat King, felt his current state with a furrowed brow.
His body was severely damaged, but fortunately, he had ways to repair it.
His eyes closed slightly as a unique divine power from heaven and earth augmented him, healing all his injuries. His aura surged again, giving him a sense of perfection.
"Although the Blood Red Bat King has occupied my physical body for decades, and this body has been riddled with his poison, fortunately, my spirit power has already begun to transform into Shura divine power. With the nourishment of Shura divine power, I will surely recover."
"However, whether I have the time for that remains to be seen. Anyone who can make the Nine-Headed Blood Bat King, who has parasitized my body, abandon control of the physical form and retreat into my body to let me out is no ordinary person."
Tang Chen shifted his gaze from his body, gripping the Clear Sky Hammer, and stared directly at Wang Zhong, who emerged from the ruins unscathed, his expression grave.
"With the weight of my Clear Sky Hammer at eighteen thousand jin, plus the power amplification from exploding my spirit rings, I couldn't even injure him."
"This guy is terrifyingly strong. Neither Qian Xun Ji nor Bo Saixi were his equal!"
Looking at Wang Zhong's blood-red eyes and the unreasoning red light, Tang Chen's heart sank to the bottom. A rabid beast was the most dangerous!
"A monster whose reason has been shattered by killing intent, this is truly dangerous!"
Holding the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Chen took a deep breath, his expression solemn.
His right foot dug into the ground, slowly retreating, leaving a deep mark. Wang Zhong's red gaze fixed on Tang Chen, his center of gravity constantly lowering until his back was parallel to the ground. He grinned like a coiled beast.
With a powerful push from his feet, the earth was torn apart again by his immense strength. Using this force, he charged towards Tang Chen like a ravenous wolf at incredible speed.
The gust of wind that met him caused Tang Chen's eyes to narrow sharply. He gripped the handle of the colossal Clear Sky Hammer with both hands and struck out.
"Chaos Storm!"
The wind swirled, and the immense hammer, like a toy in his hands, was swung with vigor. Fierce winds erupted, sweeping across the land like rampant dragons.
Each strike was faster and heavier than the last. As the hammer swung, the oppressive feeling filling heaven and earth intensified, as if even the air had solidified.
The Chaos Storm Hammer Technique, a secret inheritance of the Clear Sky Sect's core disciples, could unleash the full might of the Clear Sky Hammer!
But as the Chaos Storm Hammer Technique unfolded, Tang Chen became increasingly shocked.
Someone was confronting his Clear Sky Hammer with bare fists!
With both fists clenched, he met the heavy blows of the Clear Sky Hammer with punch after punch, each faster and stronger than the last. As the Chaos Storm Hammer Technique continued, the shockwaves from their clashes had already destroyed everything within a five-hundred-meter radius, leaving the entire Slaughter City nearly half ruined!
"Eighty-first strike!"
"Exploding Ring!"
"Great Sumeru Hammer!"
Tang Chen roared furiously. The previous eighty clashes with Wang Zhong had filled him with indescribable fear. The opponent's flesh and blood body was like steel, clashing with the Clear Sky Hammer and producing sounds like metal striking metal. The force from the opponent's fists was so great that Tang Chen's tiger's mouth continuously cracked, bleeding.
The opponent's strength was not inferior to his! It was even stronger!
Reaching this conclusion, Tang Chen held nothing back, using the accumulated power of eighty-one strikes of the Chaos Storm Hammer Technique, coupled with the power of all nine rings exploding, to unleash his strongest attack.
Great Sumeru Hammer! Nine Rings Explode!
The giant hammer rose to the sky, piercing through the clouds. Endless lightning bolts descended from the heavens, coiling around the colossal hammer. It was like a steel giant peak, incomparably powerful, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, smashing down with immense force.
