Zhou Yan's claw slammed down heavily, smashing half of the Blood Demon's body and causing blood to gush everywhere.
"You... you can actually injure this King?"
The Blood Demon's eyes were filled with intense unwillingness.
"Heh heh, so you feel pain now, don't you? I just love seeing your unwilling yet helpless look, hahaha..."
Zhou Yan laughed wildly.
"Damn it!"
The Blood Demon gritted his teeth. He, the dignified King of the Blood Race, had been embarrassed by a human. It was a complete disgrace.
"Die!"
A cold light flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes as he once again wielded his Blood Shadow Clone, slashing towards the Blood Demon.
The two clashed ferociously, explosions erupting one after another.
Zhou Yan, holding the Blood Shadow Clone, engaged the Blood Demon in a fierce battle.
The Blood Demon's speed was incredibly fast; Zhou Yan couldn't catch up to him. No matter how he attacked, he couldn't injure the Blood Demon.
"How can this Blood Demon's speed be so fast? Is this still the strength of a Demon Emperor?"
Zhou Yan frowned, contemplating inwardly. He felt as if his body could barely withstand the Blood Demon's attacks.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, Zhou Yan felt a sharp pain and was sent flying backward.
The Blood Demon seized the opportunity to pursue, unleashing a barrage of claw strikes that Zhou Yan couldn't block.
"Pfft!"
A grotesque wound appeared on Zhou Yan's chest.
His heart was directly pierced.
"Is this your strength? Nothing more than this."
The Blood Demon stared coldly at Zhou Yan, his eyes filled with deep mockery.
"How can my strength be fathomed by you?"
Zhou Yan sneered, his hand clenching as he healed the wound on his chest. Simultaneously, a man in black robes slowly materialized behind him.
This man in black robes was his Natal Clone.
"You actually summoned a clone. How utterly foolish."
The Blood Demon chuckled mockingly.
"Clone?"
Zhou Yan blinked, then realized. No wonder this guy's attacks were so fierce; it turned out he had a clone assisting him.
A clone could control his body and even use all his techniques, possessing even greater strength than the original.
"However, do you think a mere clone can harm me? How naive!"
"Die!"
The Blood Demon sneered and once again conjured a giant bloody claw, slamming it towards Zhou Yan.
The giant bloody claw carried an overwhelming destructive force, pressing down fiercely on Zhou Yan.
"Blood Shadow Clone!"
Zhou Yan roared and once again activated his Blood Shadow Clone.
Two streams of bloody light met in the void and collided again, unleashing earth-shattering power that caused the very space to collapse.
The terrifying shockwaves swept out like a torrent. Wherever they passed, blood mist permeated, tearing apart to reveal blood-red skeletons.
The Blood Demon's eyes were filled with icy killing intent.
With a wave of his arm, the giant bloody claw once again suppressed towards Zhou Yan.
Blood energy surged on the giant bloody claw, containing terrifying destructive power, seemingly capable of tearing apart even the void.
"Boom!"
This giant bloody claw slammed heavily onto Zhou Yan, sending him flying thousands of meters away.
Zhou Yan spat out a mouthful of dark blood, his aura weakening considerably.
His face was deathly pale, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He had never imagined that the Blood Demon's strength would be so terrifying. In just a few clashes, he had sustained severe injuries.
If it weren't for the protection of his Blood Shadow Clone and the power of the Heavenly Emperor's legacy safeguarding his Natal Clone, the previous blow would have undoubtedly taken his life.
"How is this possible? How did the Blood Demon's strength increase so much?"
Zhou Yan's face was filled with dread.
This situation was far beyond his expectations. This Blood Demon's strength was simply too terrifying.
The Blood Demon's lips curved into a sinister cold smile. "How is it impossible? I, this King, have absorbed the blood of countless beings to cultivate this blood body!"
"Hmph! So what? Aren't you still destined to lose?"
"Is that so? Then let's see!"
The Blood Demon grinned menacingly, and the surrounding blood frantically gathered, transforming into swords and sabers that slashed towards Zhou Yan.
Blood mist swirled around Zhou Yan's body, emitting a terrifying devouring power that consumed all the blood-colored blades.
After being devoured, the blood swords transformed into pure blood energy, surging into Zhou Yan's body.
This blood energy was fully absorbed by his physique, and his physical body was once again enhanced, reaching the peak of Three Stars.
Zhou Yan felt the surging energy in his body and couldn't help but lick his lips.
Though the Blood Demon was powerful, his own strength was equally formidable.
"Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant you your wish and let you know what despair truly means!"
Zhou Yan's eyes glinted with bloodlust as he once again unleashed the Blood Demon Transformation, transforming into a hundred-zhang-tall blood-red giant wolf and pouncing towards the Blood Demon.
"Hmph, a parlor trick!"
The Blood Demon snorted and a torrent of blood mist erupted from his body, instantly enveloping him and forming a hard blood cocoon.
This blood cocoon was strong enough to withstand a full-power strike from an early Saint realm martial artist.
Zhou Yan's attack slammed into this blood cocoon, producing a deafening roar. Terrifying aftershocks spread out, causing the ground to crack inch by inch, and vast mountain ranges were leveled, turning into ruins.
The blood cocoon remained motionless.
Zhou Yan's eyelids twitched. The defensive capabilities of this blood cocoon were simply too terrifying; it was impossible to break.
"Blood Demon, die!"
Zhou Yan roared, his blood energy churning and transforming into a colossal blood-red qilin that lunged towards the Blood Demon.
"Blood Shadow Clone, come out!"
Zhou Yan grunted, and his clone immediately surged out from within him.
The two Blood Shadow Clones of Zhou Yan simultaneously unleashed a terrifying attack, striking the Blood Demon's blood cocoon. Explosive fluctuations erupted, distorting the surrounding space.
The blood cocoon trembled violently, on the verge of being shattered.
"Break!"
The Blood Demon snorted, and his blood energy erupted, forming a bloody barrier that completely isolated Zhou Yan's attacks.
The two Zhou Yans, one on the left and one on the right, continuously bombarded the bloody barrier, producing deafening roars.
Each strike from the two Zhou Yans contained terrifying energy, causing the bloody barrier to tremble slightly.
At this moment, the Blood Demon was also enraged.
He hadn't expected Zhou Yan's strength to be so formidable, capable of stalemating him for so long by himself.
"Die!"
The Blood Demon roared, his blood energy surging, and his body suddenly expanded, inflating like a balloon. In an instant, he grew to a hundred zhang tall and unleashed a punch.
A fierce wind swept through, blood mist spreading like a blood river, obscuring the sky and sun, instilling awe and dread.
This punch was capable of killing a half-step Saint. Even a Saint realm expert would likely be unable to resist it.
