If Lin Qiye's reactions and movements had not been so fast, the Headless Man's slash would have been enough to kill him.
Lin Qiye extended a finger and lightly curled it. The two straight blades lodged in the Headless Man's chest began to tremble violently before flying back. Though they had already left gruesome wounds on its body, not a drop of blood sprayed out, as if blood had never existed within it.
The two straight blades flew back into Lin Qiye's hands. He landed lightly on the ground without making a sound.
Boom—!
At the same time, the baleful Black Flame around Mad Demon Cao Yuan, who had been hammered into another room, surged wildly. He shot forward like an arrow, grinning savagely as he slashed at the Headless Man.
Once Mad Demon Cao Yuan created an even louder source of noise, the Headless Man immediately gave up searching for Lin Qiye and turned to swing at Cao Yuan instead. The massive Executioner's Blade collided with the Black Flame straight blade once more!
Mad Demon Cao Yuan was sent flying again, smashing through another wall!
"Cackle, cackle, cackle..." Mad Demon Cao Yuan was like a tireless beast. He was sent flying time and again, yet always grinned savagely and struck again!
The Headless Man could indeed kill other recruits in a single slash, but against an absurdly overpowered, ultra-high-risk threat like Black King Annihilation, it could not do anything to him for the moment. No, more accurately, without deliberately making a huge commotion, it would only be ground into the dirt by Mad Demon Cao Yuan.
Unfortunately, every clash of their blades and every time Cao Yuan was sent flying produced a deafening noise that temporarily strengthened the Headless Man, allowing it to beat Mad Demon Cao Yuan senseless
