Both sides were injured. Si Ming fell to the ground, his mouth stained with blood. At the critical moment, he held the Crimson Scorpion Evil Saber in front of his chest, managing to avoid being directly hit by the Suanni Bone Saber. The Beast King Anye flew out of the previously opened mountain tunnel, crashing into a series of large trees and dragging a thousand-meter-long ditch in the ground before stopping its retreat.

The two exchanged blows. Si Ming's injuries were undoubtedly much lighter, but because his True Qi was severely depleted, he had already withdrawn from the state of Solar Prominence Eruption, and his aura quickly declined.

Although the Beast King Anye was severely injured, his body covered in blood and gore, like a piece of putty that had been thrown to the ground, and the side that had taken the heavy punch from the Asura Wrathful Form was flattened, as the King of Monsters, he possessed terrifying regenerative abilities, and his injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Tsk, is super regeneration now a standard feature for bosses?"

Si Ming was too tired to even complain about having encountered another opponent with such a rapid recovery ability.

"That was exhilarating! The Evil-Slaying Sword Sect is not bad, but they can only rely on sword formations to besiege me. This is the first time I've encountered Human Race expert who can fight me to a standstill."

Despite being beaten beyond recognition, the Beast King Anye remained undeterred, laughing loudly, though his laughter was truly chilling. After the laughter subsided, he suddenly said, "I understand now. You are the one who killed the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King; the Glazed Temple was merely your accomplice."

After a brief exchange, Si Ming had gauged his opponent's strength. He was slightly weaker than the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King, but undoubtedly at the peak of the Peak Spirit Transformation. With his Solar Prominence Eruption, he could gain an advantage in a short time. If his opponent didn't have the ability to regenerate, he could take this opportunity to severely injure him as soon as possible. Even if he withdrew from the Solar Prominence Eruption, he could still win steadily. After all, the depletion of his Internal Cultivation didn't have a significant impact on him, and the Vacuum Zero-Energy Furnace could quickly restore his True Qi.

However, the super regeneration ability renders burst tactics meaningless. Unless the Beast King Anye can be killed in one go, it is impossible to sustain serious injuries. The opponent can recover quickly, and it is very likely that the opponent, like the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King, has the ability to transform.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Si Ming has no chance of winning. Battles are not simply about comparing statistics. However, even if he could win, he would have no chance of killing his opponent, so an ordinary victory would be meaningless.

However, in situations like this, you absolutely cannot lose your momentum.

"The slaying of the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King wasn't solely my achievement. A little thought reveals the truth: only blood relatives can kill King of Monsters, and I'm not a blood relative of the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King ... Speaking of which, I must commend the Beast King's shrewdness. He absolutely refused to leave any blood relatives alive, even personally silencing them, leaving no chance for others to kill him. Even with unparalleled strength and near-immortal regenerative abilities, he remained cautious and prudent, truly embodying the principle of self-preservation."

Si Ming unleashed a taunt spell, mocking his opponent for being cowardly and fearful of death, a mentality inconsistent with his cultivation level.

"Haha, I am indeed not as courageous as Spirit King, so Spirit King is dead, but I am still alive." The Beast King Anye was not ashamed, but proud. He had no subordinates, so he didn't need to care about the face of a leader.

Si Ming, "Without thorough preparation, I dare not face the Spirit King, but I have no worries about facing you. That is the difference between you. Now, do you want to settle your life or death with me?"

The Beast King Anye glanced into the distance and chuckled, "Never mind, delicious food shouldn't be swallowed whole; that would be too wasteful. It should be savored slowly. I've had enough fun today. There's plenty of time in the future, Heavenly Martial Alliance Leader. I look forward to our next encounter."

Having said that, he shouldered his sword, turned and left, abandoning the entire army of Monster Race, and ignoring the feelings of his ally, the Blood Abyss Sect. He was utterly ruthless.

Upon seeing their leader flee, the Monster Race army cursed the Beast King as unreliable and scattered like birds and beasts, not daring to stay. They were joking; to think that someone could fight the King of Monsters to a standstill was something they dared not provoke.

On the other side, due to the recurrence of his injuries, Wan Yebai was ultimately no match for Li Ban and fell into Li Ban. He was struck in the stomach by the Blood Dragon Halberd, which ripped open his abdomen, leaving him severely injured and flying out with his intestines protruding.

Fortunately Yuezheng Yao and Si Huaruo arrived in time. The former used the Guxi Spirit-Shaking Finger to force Li Ban, who was unable to recover, back, while the latter quickly used Divine Arts to stop Wan Yebai's injuries.

"You have accomplices? But that still won't stop me from killing you!"

Li Ban stepped forward with unparalleled bravery, his steps brimming with fighting spirit. He chanted a rhythmic and powerful killing tone, and with a flick of his Blood Dragon Halberd, a raging sea of energy surged forth, unleashing a torrent of domineering Gang Qi.

Realizing that her opponent was the strongest she had ever faced, Yuezheng Yao dared not be careless in the slightest. She summoned a divine weapon with several sound holes on its blade, which was the Taicu Flying Sound Sword, one of the Twelve Immortal Pitch-Pipe Instruments.

Although she lacked practical combat experience, she had already mastered common martial arts moves. Yuezheng Yao thrust out her One Sword, it met the halberd head-on, sparking a thousand points of light. Originally, she was much weaker than her opponent in terms of strength, but when the Taicu Flying Sound Sword collided, it emitted a shockwave that traveled back and forth between the two divine weapons, constantly weakening her opponent's strength. She managed to barely catch the halberd and deflect the force to the side.

The Blood Dragon Halberd was wielded wildly, its flying slashes as swift as shadows, its Li Ban. Li Ban unleashed a series of deadly moves, aiming for a swift victory, but he saw that his opponent was a fledgling and wanted to force him to defeat with overwhelming pressure.

However, he first led the Evil Dao masters to a great victory over the Evil-Slaying Sword Sect, and then, without rest, fought another battle with Wan Yebai. At this time, he was also greatly exhausted, and he could not exert more than 70% of his skills and only 40% of his power. He could not use his skills at will. Moreover, there was no Music School in the Southern Martial World, and there had never been a similar martial art before. Li Ban was surprised and could not think of a way to break it for a while. He could only try to break it with brute force.

From the beginning, Yuezheng Yao's goal was to stall for time rather than to win. Therefore, she focused on defense and had the No-Void Sound Barrier as her last resort. Even if she missed a move, it would only result in a minor injury and would not affect her combat ability.

Thus, the clanging sounds continued unabated as the Blood Dragon Halberd and the Taicu Sword clashed hundreds of times. Although Yuezheng Yao outmatched and her sword-wielding hand gradually felt sore and numb, she was still able to persevere. With the mindset of "no mistakes are good enough," she continued to fight without any thought of seeking victory.

At the same time, Si Huaruo also stepped in to help. Knowing that there was a gap in cultivation, she did not dare to directly intervene in the battle, but instead used Divine Arts to change the environment to interfere with her opponent.

"Frost Talisman - Chaotic Snow Entwining the Wind!"

A blizzard raged, and the cold air spread, turning the earth white in an instant. The cold current slowed down Li Ban's Qi and Blood and qi, affecting his movements. Moreover, Si Huaruo, with her extraordinary talent in Divine Arts, managed to fix the influence of the cold air on Li Ban. Although Yuezheng Yao was affected, the cold air shrank to less than 30% on her.

Annoying!

Crimson Shadow a reverse slash, Li Ban unleashed a palm strike, forcing Yuezheng Yao back. Then, he swung the Blood Dragon Halberd, slashing a broad, bloody blade at Si Huaruo, forcing her to retreat.

"The Sunflower Shadow Shifts the Sun!"

Sensing a fleeting opening in her opponent's defenses, and recognizing it as her only chance to win, Yuezheng Yao immediately unleashed her ultimate move. The Taicu Flying Sound Sword trembled violently, creating a shockwave that shot out like an air shuttle.

"You've been tricked, Tread the Blade, Drink Blood!"

Li Ban roared, and the True Essence energy he had been secretly accumulating suddenly erupted. Accompanied by a chilling murderous intent, the Blood Dragon Halberd instantly slashed out hundreds of blood blades, which surged out like a raging storm, and the ice crystals melted and flowed like rain.

Taicu Flying Sound Sword shattered dozens of blood blades in succession, but eventually ran out of power and was knocked away. No-Void Sound Barrier was unable to neutralize all the blood blade attacks, and Yuezheng Yao retreated with injuries. In the end, she suffered from her lack of experience and could not resist the temptation.

Li Ban deliberately exposed a weakness in order to lure Yuezheng Yao into switching from defense to offense. If she had stuck to her defense and ignored the weakness, without even considering the possibility of victory, Li Ban would not have been able to defeat her in a short time.

"Wan Yebai, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"

Li Ban did not press his advantage against Yuezheng Yao. Instead, he turned around and merged with his halberd, transforming into a blood dragon and pouncing towards Wan Yebai.

With the help of Si Huaruo's treatment and his Grandmaster- level physique, Wan Yebai's dissected abdomen had healed and his intestines had been pushed back in. However, his injuries had not improved at all; they just didn't look as serious. Faced with Li Ban's all-out attack, he was powerless to turn the tide.

Just as Wan Yebai was about to risk his life and use a Li Ban injure Li Ban, a Torrent of life-destroying Law Power suddenly rushed in from the side and struck the blood dragon.

"Divine Calamity Form, the Fall of the Gods!"

As the spiritual energy dissipated and the blood dragon vanished, Li Ban was forced to break free from his state of unity with the halberd. However, he couldn't care less about missing the chance to kill, and turned to look at the person who had intervened. His face showed undisguised shock, as well as a hint of hidden anticipation.

"Who are you, and why do you know the 'Five Calamities of the Cosmic Dharma Ending'? She's clearly the only one in the world who knows this Law Technique."

Chapter 554 The Wish to Slay Evil

Li Ban stared at Wu Ming, who had taken over Liu Qingqing's body, his expression changing several times: shock, disappointment, doubt, hope... As the sect leader of the Blood Abyss Sect, his composure should not be so shallow. However, he had been touched by what he cared about most, and his heart for revenge couldn't help but flutter.

Although her appearance was different from what I remembered, her temperament was exactly the same as the one I remembered. Even though I felt that the hope was slim, I couldn't help but feel a tiny bit of expectation.

Yuezheng Yao and Si Huaruo also sensed the abnormal atmosphere and realized that there must be some kind of connection between the two, rather than just being mortal enemies. They stopped what they were doing and wanted to see what would happen next.
