Thunder Spear! Fighting Shen Ruyan with All One's Might!

The blood moon hung high, occasionally appearing and disappearing through the clouds, casting an eerie crimson hue over the ruined Iron Cloud City.

Amidst the broken walls and scattered ruins, Old Mo and Old Liu struggled to climb out of a pile of rubble, their faces covered in dust and their appearances disheveled.

"Ptooey, ptooey, damn it... it's like gods fighting, and mortals suffering!"

Old Mo spat out the dirt in his mouth and looked up at the night sky, his eyes filled with shock and terror.

In the night sky, a young man in black stood in the air, controlling a ferocious and terrifying headless Flood Dragon, confronting a giant worm stitched from countless corpse pieces from afar.

Before, Old Mo only knew that this savior was very powerful, but he never expected this lord to be so outrageously strong!

He could easily control a Demon Servant of the Spirit Sea Realm, so how terrifying must his own cultivation be?

"This lord... could he be a Spirit Sea Venerable? Old Liu, were we actually saved by a Spirit Sea Venerable himself?"

Old Mo's voice trembled slightly, a mix of fear and excitement in his heart.

"Don't be an idiot!"

Old Liu's face darkened as he grabbed his companion and they fled:

"Let's get out of here quickly. If we don't run further, we'll all be shaken to death by the aftermath of this battle!"

Before he could finish speaking, a deafening dragon roar once again tore through the night sky, as if the entire world was trembling under its roar.

The massive headless Flood Dragon circled in the night sky, its dark scales reflecting a cold light under the moonlight. Black smoke billowed from its headless neck, adding to its eerie terror.

It suddenly swooped down, its target the Corpse Demon monster on the ground, which was flailing its limbs!

The monster was not to be outdone. Numerous pale, hand-like appendages emerged from its body, thrashing wildly and shooting towards the Flood Dragon like a dense rain of missiles.

Each tentacle contained terrifying power, enough to easily pierce the defenses of an Innate Realm Demon.

However, when these tentacles struck the Flood Dragon's ink-black scales, they only caused ripples, leaving not even a trace.

"Roar—"

The headless Ink Flood Dragon roared, its massive body lunging forward and entangling with the monster.

For a time, the earth shook and the sun and moon lost their light.

Two colossal beings, nearly a hundred feet in size, fought ferociously in the city. Wherever they passed, houses collapsed, streets cracked, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

Both monsters were thick-skinned and tough, neither able to overcome the other. Instead, the surrounding buildings were completely destroyed by the aftershocks of their battle.

In less than half an incense stick's time, a quarter of Iron Cloud City had been reduced to ruins.

"Hiss—"

The monster hissed, opening its maw and spewing a cloud of thick black poisonous mist.

The poisonous smoke spread like a persistent leech. Wherever it passed, corpses and buildings were corroded at a visible rate, turning into pools of pus.

The power of this poisonous smoke was several times stronger than that of Xue Dingshan's spider demon servant!

However, the headless Flood Dragon's scales merely flashed with black light, and the poisonous smoke was completely blocked, causing no damage.

The next moment, it transformed into a black lightning bolt, carrying immense force, and lunged towards the monster.

The headless Flood Dragon's claws ignited with raging flames. A Flame Dragon Claw, with the aura of burning everything, descended with a roar!

The monster, after all, was merely stitched from corpse pieces, its defense far inferior to the scales of the Flood Dragon servant.

Facing this unstoppable Flame Dragon Claw, it was immediately slashed with four huge wounds. The wounds were scorched black, emitting a nauseating burnt smell.

"So... so strong!"

Huang Qiuyue, supporting Liu Pianjiang from a distance, couldn't help but exclaim, her small mouth agape.

What kind of demonic art was this Spirit Sea Demon Servant using? Why did its moves resemble human martial arts so much?

Demons and monsters inherently possessed physical strength and recovery abilities far superior to humans. If they also mastered human techniques, wouldn't they be invincible?

"Young Master Xiao's demon servant is too strong. The Corpse King of the Rebirth Sect is no match at all!" Huang Qiuyue murmured to herself.

"No, girl, you're underestimating the Corpse King of the Rebirth Sect..."

Liu Qingshan, who was beside her, took a healing pill and recovered some of his energy. He explained with a solemn expression:

"The Corpse King of the Rebirth Sect, besides being able to use various strange and unpredictable evil arts, the most terrifying thing is its extremely tenacious vitality, almost an immortal body."

"This Spirit Sea Realm Corpse King, although it has just been born, its recovery ability is not weak at all, it can be called immortal and indestructible!

Ordinary attacks cannot kill it..."

As General Liu finished speaking.

As if to prove his words, the monster's scorched wounds surged with flesh and blood, recovering completely in an instant.

It suddenly opened its maw, and several tentacles shot out like venomous snakes, targeting the headless Ink Flood Dragon, but it was easily dodged by the latter.

"What absurd recovery ability..."

Gu Cheng frowned as he looked at the ferocious and ugly centipede monster.

These evil creatures of the Rebirth Sect were indeed troublesome. Their vitality was even more tenacious than the Willow God, this Thousand-Year Tree Demon.

To deal with such an enemy, unless it could be instantly killed with overwhelming force like Zheng Tianlu was back then, ordinary attacks would not be able to cause substantial damage.

Coincidentally, Gu Cheng happened to possess a method specifically designed to counter an enemy's regenerative abilities...

"Roar—"

Amidst a deafening roar, the headless Ink Flood Dragon's tail erupted in blood-red light, transforming into a blood-colored battle blade over forty feet long. It swept through the air with fierce momentum, slashing down at the monstrous worm!

Swish—

Blood sprayed as the massive Corpse Demon worm was sliced in half at the waist. Its grotesque head flew high into the air, crashing heavily onto the ground.

"Hmph, your attack power isn't weak..."

Shen Ruyan's face still held a cold sneer. "Unfortunately, attacks of this magnitude can't kill me at all!"

She attempted to control the flesh buds, trying to reconnect her severed body, only to discover with horror that a strange, evil power remained at the wound, constantly eroding her flesh and preventing her recovery.

"How can this be!"

Shen Ruyan's cold sneer instantly froze, replaced by an unshakeable terror.

However, before she could react, the Flood Dragon Demon Servant's attack struck again.

It coiled in the night sky like an envoy from the abyss, descending with an aura of destruction.

Its dragon claws extended, Blood Fiend Demonic Thunder gathered, forming a colossal thunder spear fifty feet long, piercing directly towards the worm's head!

A surging aura of destruction roared like a gale.

At this moment, the Flood Dragon Demon Servant seemed to transform into a Dragon King of the borderlands, wielding a thunder spear with supreme might and fury, determined to obliterate everything before it!

"No—!!!"

The moment Shen Ruyan let out a scream, she was engulfed by the deafening thunder.

Her alluring upper body was instantly consumed by blood-colored lightning, while the worm's lower half, its head, was pierced through by the thunder spear.

Boom!!!!

The blood-colored lightning exploded, rising like a blood-red sun in the night sky, dyeing half of it crimson.

A terrifying shockwave swept out, completely shredding the worm's remaining carcass and turning it into charcoal under the lightning's intense heat.

The "Destructive Wound" divine ability contained within the Blood Fiend Demonic Thunder completely severed the Corpse King's last trace of vitality.

The flesh buds on the shattered corpse pieces twitched feebly a few times before losing all activity, falling completely still.

Concurrently, a new notification appeared on Gu Cheng's status panel:
