Chapter 381: Slaying Demon
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Liu Shayang’s broken arm suddenly stopped bleeding. It was emitting a terrible force of suction.
“Bloody Demon!”
The dripping blood stopped halfway to the ground. A second later, the suction brought all of it back into the limb. It started to gather towards the wound and formed an artificial limb rapidly, which was connected to the broken arm immediately.
It was a bloody claw. Its five fingers were sharp talons.
“Horrid!”
Liu Shayang didn’t even look like a human by then. He shocked everyone watching.
Then he grasped a knife with his left hand.
Its handle and tip were dark blue. The blade was the same color as blood. Injected with his energy, a red light was swimming around him, like a fierce flame.
“Go to hell!”
Liu Shayang attacked again, no longer holding back. In Cloud Seven of the Reaching Heaven State, his knife method couldn’t be deemed the best. That was why he combined it with a secret method. The knife was approaching Jiang Chen as if it was a flood or a fierce animal.
The bloody claw connected to his right arm wasn’t only horrifying. As the sharp claws streaked across the air, wind whistled down.
As soon as he struck, a bloody moon appeared in the air out of nowhere.
Jiang Chen moved his body and dodged the fierce attack.
“Heart Smashing Claw!” Liu Shayang smiled cunningly, intending to scratch Jiang Chen’s chest with the bloody claw.
Jiang Chen put the black knife in front of himself horizontally. When the blade met the claw, it gave a metallic clang. The sharpness of the knife couldn’t suppress the claw. Clinging closely to the blade, it scratched down.
With sparks from the friction, three scratches appeared on Jiang Chen’s right wrist.
“Die!”
The success made Liu Shayang even angrier. He used the knife and the claw at the same time. They were aggressive enough to kill.
Jiang Chen kept stepping back. He brandished his knife to defend himself. Suddenly, he turned pale. He felt numb in the right hand and couldn’t exert any force.
He looked down and found the scratches were smoking black.
“Bloody Demon Kills Divine Immortal!”
Liu Shayang exerted his killing movement immediately. The knife and the claw seemed over ten times slower than before.
“What’s going on?”
“They’re not moving more slowly. It’s because they’re so fast that they seem slower to us!”
“Hiss! How fast could that be!”
Jiang Chen, as the target of the attack, knew the answer. Even he, who had mastered the great doctrine of the creation of wind couldn’t follow them.
The knife seemed to have infinite layers.
“Eight Extraordinary Meridians all developed, wind and thunder to receive orders!
“Armor of thunder!”
He had to switch on his protective energy jar to protect himself from the fatal attack. At the same time, he retreated. If he stayed too close to them, he wouldn’t be able to see them clearly.
“Here it comes. Now, I believe you’re ranked tenth on the Slay Demon List,” said Jiang Chen.
“Ridiculous. You think I could only be ranked tenth on the list? There’s no way you’ll survive. Cut the crap,” Liu Shayang said coldly.
Among Reaching Heaven States, those that switched on their protective energy jars first would normally lose, since it meant they couldn’t handle their rival’s attacks anymore, especially if their rivals also had protective energy jars that hadn’t been put into use yet.
Besides, Jiang Chen’s right hand had been scratched by the bloody claw, causing him to lose feeling in it for the moment. Although it didn’t seem like a big problem, he wasn’t able to exert the power of his martial arts techniques.
“He’s forcing himself.”
“Liu Shayang has been holding back a lot.”
“This fight is horrible. Looks like the Hero Palace will rank him higher on the Slay Demon List.”
Although Jiang Chen had been doing great, he wasn’t a match for Liu Shayang when the latter showed his true colors.
He could die in the next attack.
“I’ll let you experience how desperation feels before you die!”
Liu Shayang regulated his breathing and launched another attack. Before he could get any closer, the knife and the claw were flying towards Jiang Chen.
“So this is your limit. It’s my turn now!” Jiang Chen’s look turned colder. The energy he emitted was changing.
With the silvery chime of a sword, Jiang Chen changed from a knife wielder to a swordsman.
Under Liu Shayang’s fierce attack, the Red Cloud Sword was transforming rapidly in his left hand. It warded off all of Liu Shayang’s fatal attacks.
“What?!”
As a left-handed man, Liu Shayang experienced the same shock others had experienced when seeing him using a knife. Jiang Chen was extremely calm with light showing deep in his black eyes. Liu Shayang felt like he could be pierced through by the glare at anytime.
“Even though you’re a swordsman, nothing will change. Nothing could defeat my velocity!”
Liu Shayang’s knife and claw didn’t rely on martial arts techniques. They formed a combination of sharpness and quickness. These two could tear any hard thing apart.
But Jiang Chen wasn’t affected, as if he had anticipated Liu Shayang’s attack.
“You’ve mastered being an integral part of nature? How is that possible?”
Liu Shayang wasn’t a dumb*ss. He understood the reality immediately. Not until then did he start to feel he was in danger.
His attack was quick and fierce. Many martial arts geniuses had died under his mad attacks without knowing how.
Only quickness was invincible. He had exerted this principle to the utmost.
However, in the face of a martial arts practitioner who had mastered being an integral part of nature and merged it with martial arts techniques to achieve the creation of nature and martial arts techniques, he had little room to play.
“You only noticed the being an integral part of nature?” Jiang Chen laughed at him. He thrust the Red Cloud Sword forward. It not only warded off the attack, but launched an attack from a defensive position.
“How dreadful his swordsmanship is!”
Liu Shayang sensed an infinite energy from the spirit of Jiang Chen’s sword. Along with the wonderful changes, it was impossible for him to defend himself.
“You’ve also mastered the doctrine of sword!”
Liu Shayang knew that only those who had mastered the doctrine of sword could master swordsmanship to this extent.
“The Rainbow Sword Method: Three Movements in One!”
Jiang Chen didn’t respond to him. Thunder and wind gathered onto the Red Cloud Sword.
“Holy bloody armor!”
Liu Shayang was given a good scare. He switched on his protective energy jar immediately. Armor of red light appeared on his body to protect him, but the Red Cloud Sword tore the protective energy jar open immediately and left a deep wound on Liu Shayang’s chest.
“Damn it!”
Liu Shayang had thought his attack was the best at cracking defenses, but Jiang Chen’s sword attack was even more horrid.
“Anything to say before you die?” Jiang Chen said coldly, slowing his sword down.
“This isn’t a competition. I can’t kill you, but I can run.”
Before his voice could fade away, Liu Shayang flew into the air decisively, intending to fly out of the city.
He has defeated me in martial arts techniques, but it’s state that matters when it comes to fleeing and chasing!
Liu Shayang was very confident. He arrived at the city walls in an instant, but he suddenly froze up, looking forward as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
Jiang Chen was standing there, his eyes extremely cold. His look was like a sharp sword that could pierce through Liu Shayang’s heart.
“Are you really a Cloud-Three Reaching Heaven State?!” Liu Shayang roared in anger.
“Couldn’t be more real.”
“So how can you fly faster than me?”
It was all right if he wasn’t a match for Jiang Chen in a fight, but he couldn’t even outrun the latter, yet Jiang Chen was four clouds weaker than him. Liu Shayang couldn’t figure out why.
“Because I’m a genius,” Jiang Chen smiled at him scornfully. He raised the Red Cloud Sword again.
“The Sword Method of Ksana: The First Movement!”
He stopped speaking and exerted the killing movement by throwing himself over like a comet.
“What?!”
Liu Shayang had thought he could at least still be proud of his speed, but only then did he realize how naive he had been.
Several Jiang Chens appeared around him, each attacking him at the same time. They took his life away in only a second.
The tenth on the Slay Demon List was dead!
