Meng Jun was covered in blood. The knife wounds and the terrifying holes torn open by the Blazing Demon Ape's claws looked horrifying.
He was panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot.
His gaze remained fixed on Lin Shuguang, but his smile was sinister. "You can summon a Beast Soul, kid... I don't believe such a method is something the Baojian Sect would possess. Those arrogant fools with hearts higher than the heavens have nothing in their minds but swords. They'd never devote themselves to something like this. Tell me, who are you?"
Lin Shuguang remained silent.
Meng Jun truly had some tricks up his sleeve.
Lin Shuguang had expended eight hundred thousand cards of Blood Energy, yet he had only barely managed to injure the man.
A Heavenly Pride of the Ninth Heaven was truly terrifying.
What he didn't know was that his own astonishing methods had also stirred up towering waves in Meng Jun's heart.
This Lin Shuguang had nearly crossed an entire realm!
At first, Meng Jun had thought Lin Shuguang was merely at the First Heaven. But afterward, the strength Lin Shuguang unleashed kept refreshing his impression of this new disciple of the Baojian Sect.
Damn it, my target is Su Beichen!
"Weren't you acting as if you'd already eaten me alive just now? How come you've suddenly got so much nonsense to say?"
Lin Shuguang's figure lunged forward almost at the same instant.
Meng Jun cursed inwardly and, relying on the last shred of his vicious resolve, tried to turn the tables from the Forbidden Zone.
"Bang!"
The Blazing Demon Ape's fist tore through the air and smashed into Meng Jun's left arm. The crisp sound of bones breaking rang out on the spot.
"Ah!"
Amid Meng Jun's shriek, Lin Shuguang's blade left several more gashes across his body.
"Swish!"
"I'll kill you!"
Meng Jun let out a hysterical roar and grabbed Lin Shuguang's Slaughter Blade with his bare hands, ignoring the pain of the edge slicing into his palms.
No one knew what secret technique this man had used.
The muscles across his body bulged and knotted, like pythons coiled around him. A dark blue light shimmered over them, brimming with explosive power.
His robes stretched tight, accompanied by the sound of fabric tearing.
"I originally planned to use this move against Qi Tianming. I never thought I'd be using it against a bastard like you!" As Meng Jun spoke, scorching heat seemed to pour from his mouth with every word.
His face was filled with humiliation, fury, and a host of hysterical emotions.
The sight of Lin Shuguang before him caused all the surging killing intent in his heart to erupt at once.
Secret Martial Art: Sacred Dragon Frenzy!
At the same time.
The Blazing Demon Ape's enormous body charged out of the darkness. Driven by Lin Shuguang, its huge flaming fist smashed toward him.
From the moment Lin Shuguang saw Meng Jun make his move until now, he had not shown the slightest panic.
The Beast God Soul's equipment allowed his physical body to undergo the tempering of the purest strength every moment.
It had to be said that Su Beichen had done him a favor.
Without the three Blood Spirit Soul Sacrificing Banners Su Beichen had provided, Lin Shuguang could never have possessed such formidable power.
They could already raise Lin Shuguang's strength to the Sixth Heaven. With the twofold enhancement of power now, although Lin Shuguang's realm could not compare to Meng Jun's, his strength was just barely enough to fight him.
However, Lin Shuguang knew perfectly well that the one truly fighting Meng Jun was the Blazing Demon Ape!
Lin Shuguang and Meng Jun collided with a punch.
The void trembled.
The Blazing Demon Ape's massive palm struck again.
Meng Jun glared over with a vicious expression. "I've been waiting for you!"
He flipped his hand.
His freed hand instantly seemed to transform into a dragon's head. It appeared to shatter the void, annihilating all the air in its path.
Lin Shuguang sensed the Blazing Demon Ape's rage at being provoked.
Although Meng Jun had activated some martial art and his aura resembled a Ferocious Dragon, at the end of the day, he had not truly transformed into a dragon.
Yet Meng Jun actually intended to threaten this Blazing Demon Ape with the might of a true dragon. It was nothing less than adding oil to the flames.
In an instant, the heavens collapsed and the earth split!
Meng Jun pierced straight through Lin Shuguang's left chest with the Nether Iron Chain, leaving his flesh a mangled mess.
But Lin Shuguang erupted with every ounce of his strength. Rather than flee after suffering such a grievous injury, he unleashed all his ferocity like a madman and clamped both hands around Meng Jun's arms.
"Are you insane?!"
The instant Meng Jun was restrained, he saw the Blazing Demon Ape charging madly toward him. His eyes nearly split their sockets from terror.
He had never imagined that Lin Shuguang would be so utterly fearless of death. Even after suffering such a severe injury, he still dared to force his way toward Meng Jun with all his might, completely disrupting Meng Jun's rhythm.
Meng Jun had intended to knock Lin Shuguang, this troublesome pest, away so that he could free his hands and tear that damn Blazing Demon Ape limb from limb.
Meng Jun tried to counterattack.
But Lin Shuguang reached out and grabbed directly into his wound, making things worse on top of disaster.
In the blink of an eye.
The Blazing Demon Ape descended before the two men!
Its earth-shattering punch seemed capable of punching through heaven and earth as it hammered down toward Lin Shuguang and Meng Jun, who were locked tightly together.
Lin Shuguang had never shown any intention of dodging. He held Meng Jun firmly in his grasp.
Amid the piercing shriek of something tearing through the air came Meng Jun's anguished roar.
"Rip!"
Something was forcibly torn apart.
Everything was drowned out by the terrifying explosion of air.
Aside from the waves of air that spread outward like raging floods, a sudden sound of something being severed rang out.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two consecutive thuds of bodies hitting the ground rang out.
Meng Jun lay in a pool of blood. His eyes were wide open, their whites webbed with blood vessels, as he stared numbly and helplessly at the hazy sky concealed beneath the formation... In the pool of blood, his entire body trembled as great mouthfuls of bloody foam poured from his lips.
"Clang!"
The sound of a weapon sinking into the ground slowly rang out at that moment.
Lin Shuguang was covered in blood as he slowly rose to his feet.
The Blazing Demon Ape was dead... In the final clash of life and death with Meng Jun, it had been devoured by that Ferocious Dragon.
However, the backlash had lent Lin Shuguang a helping hand, allowing his Slaughter Blade to successfully shred Meng Jun's internal organs.
The body of a Ninth Heaven cultivator was not as fragile as an ordinary person's. Although it could not compare to Lin Shuguang's physique, whose internal organs had been tempered until they were indestructible, destroying them was still no easy feat.
Otherwise, Lin Shuguang would not have suffered such a severe injury.
He carried his blade and slowly walked over. The tip scraped across the ground, producing a sound that made his scalp prickle.
Meng Jun's whole body trembled. His blood-spraying mouth opened and closed slightly as he spoke in a feeble voice, "Don't... kill... me..."
Lin Shuguang's face was utterly indifferent as he carried his blade closer step by step, until he stood before Meng Jun.
"Don't... kill..."
The Slaughter Blade swung up.
The head fell to the ground!
Kill successful. Blood Energy Value acquired: 1.2 million!
The surging Blood Energy returned. The weakened aura around Lin Shuguang rapidly dissipated like a receding tide, as if even his soul were cheering and leaping for joy.
Killing a Ninth Heaven cultivator of the Core Realm had brought benefits far beyond anything he had gained from years of cultivation.
More importantly, he had previously expended nearly nine hundred thousand Blood Energy to summon the Blazing Demon Ape. Now, with the addition of 1.2 million, not only had all his losses been fully replenished, but his reserves had directly increased by another four hundred thousand.
This was the first time Lin Shuguang had killed someone with the Slaughter Blade since arriving on the Totem Continent.
It seemed that killing within Demon Mountain would not attract the attention of the World Will... In the end, this had truly been a stroke of luck.
He gasped heavily.
Lin Shuguang gradually recovered his vitality.
Lowering his head to look at Meng Jun's corpse, he crouched down and began searching it thoroughly...
