In the sky, the sword and the lightning collided, triggering a massive explosion.

Lightning splashed across the heavens like a grand display of fireworks, visible across the entire Douluo Continent.

Qian Daoliu was disturbed by this surge of energy; he turned his head to look with curiosity, then glanced back at his granddaughter.

A mysterious valley.

Hsi Wu sat upon a stone throne, one hand propping up his chin, as he looked up at the explosion in the distance.

"Who is Zhong Su fighting to cause such a commotion?"

"Damn it, everyone is so strong, why am I so weak? Just because I'm the youngest? I am the great Sky Demon!" Hsi Wu stood on his throne, venting his dissatisfaction toward the sky.

Below in the valley, a giant black dragon scratched its head, covered its ears, and went back to sleep.

Slaughter City.

Beneath the beautiful lightning fireworks lay a hidden, immense danger.

Bolts of lightning rained down, venting wantonly upon Slaughter City; buildings were smashed into ruins, and people fled in panic.

"Hurry! This lightning can kill a Soul Douluo in an instant."

"My soul skills are no longer suppressed! Thank goodness, Wings of Flight!"

"Shadow Shuttle."

People used their soul skills to flee Slaughter City in terror, yet to their despair, the endless wilderness was completely shrouded in lightning.

Survival was entirely a matter of luck.

"How could this happen?" The crowd had just escaped, only to find themselves searching for a safe zone amidst the lightning.

High above, Zhong Su was covered in blood, standing awkwardly on the lightning, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

Although Tang Chen had expended a great deal of energy, he remained unscathed thanks to the divine artifact in his hand.

Bibi Dong looked up, reaching out to touch her cheek; a few drops of bright red blood stained her palm.

"So, a demon's blood is red, too!" She looked indifferent, rubbing her fingers together slightly.

She had once pierced Hsi Wu's chest with her own hands, but she hadn't paid much attention at the time, as she had merely viewed Hsi Wu as a soul beast.

Only now, with the strength of a Peerless Douluo, did she see what a demon truly looked like.

Zhong Su radiated waves of lightning, and his previously wounded body began to recover as if it were brand new.

Seeing this, Tang Chen frowned. At this rate, he couldn't outlast his opponent! It seemed he would have to win with a single strike; this soul beast truly possessed some strength.

Zhong Su's gaze was cold as it fell upon the sword: "The aura inside that blade is truly nauseating."

The divine power within the sword filled Zhong Su with disgust, yet he also felt a sense of familiarity from it. In their era, this power was commonly known as Righteous Demon Qi.

"Afraid? It's too late." Tang Chen stood with his sword on his back, preparing to finish his opponent in one move.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Su laughed in a fit of rage: "Hahaha, afraid? I will turn that sword of yours into charcoal!"

Carrying the world-ending thunder, he took the initiative and charged at his opponent.

"Demon Qi, return."

Zhong Su chanted silently in his heart, and Yu Yuanzhen and the other members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family collapsed to the ground, exhausted, as if all their strength had been drained away.

"This... where is my power?" Yu Luomian panicked, nervously feeling his own body.

His strength had plummeted directly to that of a Soul Douluo; all his soul power had been requisitioned by Zhong Su.

"Accept the judgment of the lightning!"

Zhong Su's aura surged. After obtaining the demon qi of the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, he had also absorbed all of their soul power, significantly increasing his strength.

Above and below, all the thunderbolts converged on Tang Chen, and even the sky seemed to be closing in on him with lightning.

"Damn it!"

Tang Chen's expression was grim. This guy acted as if his soul power were free, unleashing ultimate moves every single time.

He had to finish this in one strike.

"Blood, come!" Tang Chen pointed his sword downward. Endless blood surged from the bodies of the soul masters, pouring into the Asura Sword, and the crimson blade became even more sinister.

"Ah—no, King of Slaughter, I have Bloody Mary, you can't kill me!"

"No, I've already come out, you can't do this!"

"King of Slaughter, go to hell!"

People clutched their throats and screamed as blood flowed out incessantly, quickly turning them into mummified corpses.

The Asura Sword underwent a qualitative change after absorbing the blood. Tang Chen's eyes became even more delirious; he could no longer maintain his current sanity, and the only instinct remaining was slaughter.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and he laughed maniacally while brandishing his sword: "Hahaha, hahahaha, I am the King of Slaughter, kill, kill, kill!"

Tang Chen had lost his mind, swinging his sword wildly.

Bibi Dong frowned slightly. Had the King of Slaughter lost his reason? This made things difficult; she wondered if Qian Daoliu could stop Tang Chen in this state.

Zhong Su didn't care about the change at all; he was confident that his lightning would not lose to anyone, and that he was surely the strongest.

Lightning is the most powerful force; you must submit to it!

Zhong Su was extremely arrogant, crushing lightning with a single hand to demonstrate his threat.

However, the facts proved that his strength was still far inferior to Tang Chen's.

Rumble—

A flash of light streaked across the heavens and earth, and a red beam of light scattered in all directions, reducing any lightning it touched to ashes.

"What, how is this possible?" Zhong Su was instantly shocked, unable to believe his eyes.

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected, you are still far behind, Zhong Su. I truly don't know where you get your confidence from," Shendu remarked with disdain.

Originally, Hsi Wu's strength was only around that of a level 96 Super Douluo, roughly equivalent to a two-hundred-thousand-year-old fierce beast, though he did possess the world's fastest speed.

As for Zhong Su, even if he were slightly stronger than Hsi Wu, he would only be at the level 97 mark, compounded by his lightning that could destroy everything.

Shendu was not at all surprised by this outcome, nor was he surprised by Zhong Su's reaction.

"Ant, you will pay the price for your actions!" Zhong Su roared like thunder, his lightning crackling incessantly.

Before he could react, a sword pierced through his chest with a thud, and a repulsive divine power surged into his body, instantly leaving his form riddled with holes.

You bastard... Zhong Su felt his consciousness beginning to fade and panicked; he had only just emerged and hadn't enjoyed enough freedom—how could he be sealed away again?

"You are still far from being able to seal me! Scatter!"

Zhong Su's body suddenly exploded, transforming into ten thousand bolts of lightning that scattered into the distance, creating a final display of lightning fireworks.

Tang Chen hung in mid-air, momentarily dumbfounded.

Whether the opponent was dead, had died from the self-detonation, or had used the opportunity to escape, he did not know.

"Good grief, he actually resorted to self-detonation!" Shendu's expression was one of surprise. Although Demons could not die, it would take a very long time to recover after such an explosion.

"This is fine, too. At the very least, he won't cause any more trouble and can just stay quietly in his Thunder City," Shendu said nonchalantly.

Slaughter City.

Bibi Dong turned back; this battle should have come to an end, with the King of Slaughter emerging victorious.

Who exactly is the King of Slaughter? she wondered, feeling perplexed.

Few people had seen the Clear Sky Hammer, and now that everyone who had was dead, Bibi Dong could only make wild guesses.

After the lightning Demon disappeared, the continent seemed to return to its normal track.

The Heaven Dou Empire had lost 3,404 civilians this time, but it didn't cause even a ripple in the Spirit Master world; it didn't even generate as much buzz as this year's Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.

At Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang stood on the podium, holding forth: "As everyone knows, Demons are a type of creature that exists outside of humans and spirit beasts..."
