Ye Anyuan and Old Deer fought in the most primitive way: head-on, blow for blow.
The Demon Race excelled at close combat, and Martial Path cultivators did too.
The tip of the Spear of Slaughter slammed into Old Deer's fist. In an instant, his fist turned into a deer's hoof.
"Clang!"
A crisp ring rang out as the Spear of Slaughter's unyielding shaft bent outright.
"Boom..."
A violent roar followed, and blinding light burst from the point where the spear tip met the hoof.
"Whoosh..."
Then came the sound of something cutting through the air.
Ye Anyuan couldn't keep his footing. The immense force sent him flying hundreds of meters before he barely managed to steady himself.
His brow furrowed slightly as he tried to call upon the Divine Dragon Bloodline within him.
That last blow had split the web between his thumb and forefinger.
Without the boost of Dragon Transformation, he couldn't stand against this old deer at all.
But no matter how he tried to summon it, the Divine Dragon Bloodline refused to answer his call.
"Kill!"
The instant Ye Anyuan was sent flying, Wine Sword Immortal activated the spirit swords atop the Sword Graveyard. A dense swarm of swords shot toward Old Deer, stabbing at him in a frenzy.
Old Deer remained unruffled. A thick coat of fur suddenly sprouted across his body.
When the spirit swords struck him, the thick fur instantly bounced them away.
Some of the hairs hardened, smashing the spirit swords to pieces.
Old Deer lost only a few hairs in the exchange, while Wine Sword Immortal lost spirit swords.
At the same time, the other seven attacked Old Deer together.
They wielded Immortal Artifacts and Semi-Immortal Artifacts, launching ranged attacks against him from a distance.
Not one of them dared to approach
