Kill the Lord!

"ROAR!!!"

Accompanied by a tyrannical roar, the Black Rock Giant Ape made the first move.

Its palm, as large as a palm-leaf fan, lunged toward the roadside. Its five fingers hooked into the car's metal skin like steel claws, and it hoisted a discarded bus straight into the air.

The wreckage, weighing several tons, felt as light as a foam board in its grip.

The giant ape then swung its arm in a wide arc, hurling the bus fiercely at Lin Fan.

WHOOSH!!

The bus whistled through the air.

A massive shadow tumbled through the sky, instantly blotting out the moonlight above Lin Fan.

This kind of raw, monstrous strength was enough to make any junior War God's scalp tingle.

But Lin Fan did not retreat a single step. He stood his ground, gripping the cold, long handle of Calamity tightly.

He then snapped his spine like a dragon, and power surged instantly through his arms.

"OPEN!"

Lin Fan let out a low shout, and the long scythe swept upward from below.

SHRIIIIK!!

A pitch-black blade of light tore through the night sky, followed immediately by the teeth-gritting sound of metal being shredded.

The bus, whistling as it flew, was sliced cleanly in two right in mid-air.

THUD.

The severed sections of the bus grazed Lin Fan's body, flying to either side and crashing heavily into two shops by the road.

Sparks showered down, igniting the fuel remaining in the tanks.

BOOM!!

An orange-red fireball erupted into the sky. The soaring flames instantly illuminated the entire street, casting flickering light and shadow across Lin Fan's indifferent face.

The next second.

A massive, suffocating shadow smashed through the sea of fire and appeared before Lin Fan as if it had teleported.

The Black Rock Giant Ape's hideous beastly face looked exceptionally terrifying in the firelight. Its fist, the size of a millstone, carried a suffocating pressure as it smashed down toward Lin Fan's head!

"ROAR!!!"

Facing this punch, let alone a human, even a main battle tank would be flattened into a metal pancake.

"Well struck!"

Instead of fear, Lin Fan's eyes were filled with excitement.

He gripped Calamity tightly with both hands and swung it upward again, meeting the giant ape's massive fist head-on!

"Mountain Collapse!"

Lin Fan gritted his teeth, pouring that still-raw, newly comprehended power of vibration into the blade.

Hard against hard!

BANG!!!

A heaven-shaking explosion rang out, as if thunder had struck on flat ground.

The massive sound wave swept across the entire block, and the few remaining shards of glass in the surrounding buildings were instantly pulverized into dust.

A terrifying shockwave swept outward from the point of impact. The concrete road beneath their feet shattered and collapsed instantly.

"ROAR!"

The Black Rock Giant Ape let out a pained howl.

Its massive body was actually forced back several steps by the force of that strike!

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Each step left a footprint half a meter deep in the ground.

On its iron-hard fist, a bloodstain two meters deep had been carved, and black blood dripped continuously from the wound.

Lin Fan hadn't fared much better.

He was blasted backward by the terrifying recoil. He dug his feet into the ground, carving two deep trenches over ten meters long before he finally managed to stop.

"Hiss..."

"Damn... that's some strength."

Lin Fan shook his numb hand, feeling his internal organs trembling.

This beast's strength was likely approaching one hundred thousand kilograms!

If not for the terrifying weight of Calamity, he would have been hammered to death by that single punch.

"However..."

Lin Fan licked his lips, the excitement in his eyes growing even more intense.

"This is exactly the whetstone I need!"

BANG!

Lin Fan pushed off the ground. His figure turned into a black bolt of lightning as he charged forward once more!

"ROAR!!!"

The giant ape, thoroughly enraged by the searing pain in its hand, let out a roar and charged at Lin Fan!

Under the reflection of the flames, a black streak of light could be seen weaving constantly around the massive ape.

SWISH, SWISH, SWISH!

Relying on his agile footwork and the peerless sharpness of Calamity, Lin Fan left terrifying wounds all over the giant ape, sending black beast blood splattering everywhere.

However, he was occasionally struck by the ape's fists, sent flying backward with every hit.

Man and ape collided frantically on the abandoned street.

"This isn't working..."

Lin Fan's brows were locked in a frown.

His application of the first stage of the Calamity Killing Art was still too unrefined.

He couldn't bring out that special vibration force at all. Although Calamity was incredibly sharp, the giant ape was simply too large, and those wounds were not fatal.

They looked terrifying, but they hadn't damaged any internal organs; it was a classic case of "scraping."

Furthermore, if he tried to leap up to attack the giant ape's head, he would definitely be swatted away first.

"If I keep dragging this out, I'll be the one to collapse from exhaustion first."

BANG!

Another violent collision.

Lin Fan's stamina had dipped slightly, and his movements were a fraction of a second slower. The giant ape seized the opportunity, slapping the side of Calamity with its palm.

CLANG!!

A massive force surged through, nearly causing Lin Fan to lose his grip on Calamity. He was sent flying like a baseball, crashing heavily into a collapsed ruin and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"ROAR!!!"

The Black Rock Giant Ape seemed to see that Lin Fan was at the end of his rope.

It roared, its black-rock-like muscles bulging as its speed surged.

It didn't intend to give Lin Fan any chance to catch his breath. Its massive body pressed down like a toppling mountain.

With arms wide open, like two closing hydraulic clamps, it attempted to scoop Lin Fan right out of the ruins and into its embrace!

The most classic and terrifying killing move of ape-type monsters—the Embrace of Death!

Once caught in that hold, even a high-level War God would have every bone in their body crushed into a pulp of meat.

The foul, stinking breath hit him in the face, and the shadow of death instantly loomed over Lin Fan.

However.

A flash of resignation crossed Lin Fan's eyes.

He released one hand from Calamity, his fingers spreading open toward the hideous beastly face inches away.

"Let's end this farce."

Sky Splitter instantly appeared behind him.

HUM!

Invisible spiritual telekinesis erupted instantly from Lin Fan's consciousness.

Under the control of his telekinesis, Sky Splitter instantly disassembled!

WHIRR, WHIRR, WHIRR.

Two hundred and sixteen blade feathers, thin as cicada wings, rotated slowly around him under Lin Fan's command.

"Go."

Lin Fan's lips moved slightly.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

A shrill sound of air being torn apart rang out.

Driven by the powerful force of his telekinesis, these blade feathers accelerated to their limit, leaving trails of silver afterimages in the air.

A Spiritual Telekinetic!

In that instant, the scarlet eyes of the Black Rock Giant Ape, previously filled with tyranny and cruelty, were replaced by extreme terror.

As a highly intelligent primate monster, it knew exactly what this meant.

It tried to defend itself, tried to use its arms to protect its vitals.

But... it was too late.

Its body was still charging forward due to momentum, and the overwhelming swarm of silver blade feathers had already arrived!

All the blade feathers connected head-to-tail in the air, instantly forming a silver metal tornado.

The target of this storm was precisely those wounds Lin Fan had carved with his scythe—the areas where its defenses were weakest.

PUFF, PUFF, PUFF, PUFF, PUFF!

Over two hundred blade feathers drilled into the wounds on the giant ape's limbs without resistance, spinning frantically. Finally, bit by bit, they burrowed into the giant ape's chest cavity.

The Black Rock Giant Ape's massive body dropped to the ground. It opened its mouth wide, wanting to roar, wanting to vent the heart-wrenching pain.

But only a bubbling "gurgle" sound could escape its throat.

GLUG, GLUG...

Large amounts of blood, mixed with dark red fragments of internal organs, gushed out from its open mouth.

No matter how tough the skin, the inside was soft.

Its heart, along with the surrounding lung lobes and blood vessels, had been churned into a pulp by the blade feathers that had burrowed into its body.

That copper skin and iron bone it was so proud of became the most ridiculous decoration in the face of Lin Fan's unreasonable method of attack.

The light in its eyes faded rapidly, and its life force ebbed away.

RUMBLE!

The Black Rock Giant Ape collapsed to the ground, smashing a large crater into the concrete road and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Its body twitched a few times before it went completely still.

Only the pool of black blood continued to flow slowly.

Lin Fan stood up from the ruins, rubbed his chest, and looked at the corpse on the ground, exhaling a breath of stale air.

"Sigh, what a pity. I ended up having to use Sky Splitter after all."
