The Killing Intent That Severed Dawn, Yan Shaozhe Felled by the Sword!

"This guy... he's actually serious..."

Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, and the other Sea God Pavilion elders stared blankly at the plaza around them, stained red with blood.

They had watched nearly half of the Inner Court's elite instantly explode into bloody mist before their eyes, yet they could do nothing. That overwhelming helplessness and terror left their minds completely blank.

Just moments ago, if Elder Mu hadn't risked the backlash—

Forcibly exhausting his origin power to raise a barrier of light and protect their high-level combatants—

Then, in their previous state of being completely suppressed by the pressure, with their Soul Power stagnant, they likely would have been reduced to ashes alongside those disciples!

"What a vicious soul skill! What merciless methods!"

Qian Duoduo's eyes were bloodshot as he glared fixedly at Qian Jue in midair and roared through gritted teeth,

"Elder Xuan was right! A deranged devil like this should have been exterminated at any cost back then!"

Xian Lin'er's pretty face was equally pale. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails sank deep into her palms, blood spilling out without her even noticing.

Shrek's heritage accumulated over ten thousand years, the future of the Inner Court, had been destroyed by half at this man's hands in merely a few breaths!

High in the sky, Mu En's hunched body trembled violently.

Looking at the Inner Court disciples who had died miserably below, indescribable grief welled up in the heart of this elderly man who had lived for centuries.

He slowly raised his head. The compassion and sorrow in his cloudy eyes were gone, replaced by bone-chilling killing intent.

"Qian Jue... why must you do this?"

Mu En's voice was terrifyingly hoarse. "What you've done has undoubtedly cut off all paths of retreat for yourself. You've pushed yourself into an abyss beyond redemption and made an enemy of the entire continent!"

"An enemy of the continent?" Qian Jue sneered, his eyes filled with arrogance.

"Interesting."

Before his words had even faded, Qian Jue gave Mu En no chance to catch his breath. The hand in the void pressed down fiercely once more.

"Gong—!!!"

The Funeral Bell held in the Fallen Angel phantom's arms shook violently again.

A second, even more terrifying wave from the Funeral Bell became visible black ripples, sweeping toward the survivors below!

"The same move won't succeed twice before this old man!"

Mu En roared. His formerly hunched body erupted with an unimaginably majestic aura at that moment.

Brilliant golden dragon scales instantly covered his entire body. He brought his hands together sharply before him, and the power of light belonging to a rank ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo burst forth.

"Dragon Emperor's Domain Shaker!"

In an instant, a Radiant Sacred Dragon phantom over two hundred zhang long soared into the sky from behind Mu En.

The sacred dragon threw back its head and roared. Terrifying vibrations transformed into a golden storm, smashing toward the black Funeral Bell ripples with unstoppable force.

"Rumble—!!!"

The two ultimate powers of gold and black collided explosively in midair. The entire Sea God Island shook violently, and even the water level of Sea God Lake was forced down several zhang.

With a sharp crack, under Mu En's all-out strike, the Fallen Angel phantom in the sky and the Funeral Bell were forcibly pierced through and shattered, turning into black mist that dispersed through the air.

"Ha... ha..."

Mu En panted heavily, his face growing ever paler.

He stared fixedly at Qian Jue and said in a deep voice,

"Qian Jue, I admit you're powerful. But if you hadn't caught us off guard just now, this old man would never have let you succeed!"

Qian Jue looked at the shattered Funeral Bell without showing any surprise, merely raising an eyebrow noncommittally.

"Elder Mu!"

"Teacher!"

At that moment, two urgent and powerful sounds of rushing air came flying from the distance.

Amid furious roars, Elder Xuan, looking disheveled with blood still at the corner of his mouth, and Yan Shaozhe, the head of Shrek's Martial Soul Department, became two streaks of light and landed heavily beside Mu En.

Elder Xuan immediately saw the plaza below, transformed into a scene of carnage,

As well as the Inner Court disciples whose bodies had been left incomplete. His eyes instantly turned blood-red, and his entire body shook madly with extreme rage.

"Qian Jue!!!"

Xuan Zi threw back his head and let out a shrill roar. The Soul Power of a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo erupted without restraint, and the Taotie Divine Bull phantom behind him roared madly.

"If I don't tear you to pieces today, I swear I'm not human!!!"

"Elder Xuan, why waste words with him?!

Since he dared to barge into Shrek alone today, he shouldn't dream of leaving alive!

Join forces with me and kill this ignorant brat!"

Yan Shaozhe roared. Without a moment's hesitation, the wings of the Radiant Phoenix belonging to his rank ninety-five Super Douluo cultivation spread fiercely behind him.

Trailing dazzling golden flames that filled the sky, he charged straight at Qian Jue like a brilliant meteor.

On Shrek's territory, not only did they have Elder Xuan, a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo, standing by,

But they also had his teacher, the rank ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo Mu En, overseeing the battle.

In Yan Shaozhe's eyes, this was simply a heaven-sent opportunity. His confidence soared, and he swore to claim the greatest credit for slaying this evil demon before everyone!

"Shaozhe, wait! Come back!"

Watching Yan Shaozhe recklessly charge ahead, Mu En's eyelids twitched wildly. A powerful sense of foreboding instantly rose in his heart, and he hurriedly shouted for him to return.

But Yan Shaozhe was determined to execute Qian Jue on the spot. Instead, he pushed his speed to the limit.

At the same time, Xuan Zi, consumed by old grudges from the Star Dou Great Forest, was equally blinded by rage. Not only did he fail to stop him, he even reassured Mu En confidently,

"Elder Mu, there's no need to worry! With me watching over Shaozhe, there absolutely won't—"

"Pfft—!"

"Aah—!!!"

Before Xuan Zi could even finish speaking, an agonized scream, as though a soul were being torn apart, suddenly ripped through the sky!

Mu En and Xuan Zi both shuddered and abruptly turned toward the source of the sound.

The sight before them instantly made these two pillars of Shrek feel as though they had fallen into an icy abyss.

In midair, the Radiant Phoenix flames Yan Shaozhe had been so proud of had completely extinguished.

He was covered in blood, his eyes bulging, his body convulsing violently like a torn burlap sack hanging from an iron hook.

And piercing through his chest was the Angel Sword in Qian Jue's hand!

The Angel Sword had directly ignored a Super Douluo's protective aura.

It had pierced Yan Shaozhe's heart with flawless precision, hoisting the head of Shrek's Martial Soul Department high into the air!

"Drip... drip..."

Crimson blood ran down the sword and dripped from the wrist.

Qian Jue tilted his head slightly, looking at Yan Shaozhe's face, utterly twisted by unbearable pain. There wasn't a ripple in his deep eyes as he calmly uttered four words,

"Commendable courage."

"Sadly, useless."

The instant his words fell, the profound black ten-thousand-year Soul Ring beneath Qian Jue's feet suddenly lit up.

"Even among Super Douluos, there are differences. Today, I'll give you a proper lesson."

"First Soul Skill, Fallen Heaven's Feathers."

"Boom—!"

Behind Qian Jue, the Fallen Angel's six wings, black as ink, spread open with a thunderous burst.

Immediately afterward, a layer of dark, bizarre Demonic Fire ignited wildly across the wings.

The pitch-black flames instantly transformed into countless incomparably sharp black feathers, pouring down like torrential rain upon Yan Shaozhe.

Strengthened by Demonic Fire, these Fallen Heaven's Feathers not only possessed terrifying physical penetrating power, but also carried an exceptionally vicious rule-based property.

Once they grazed an enemy, that strange demonic fire would cling to them like gangrene, directly igniting the Soul Power within their body!

Using Soul Power as fuel, it would burn them to ashes from the inside out!

"Whoosh—!"

In only an instant, Yan Shaozhe's entire body was completely swallowed by black Demonic Fire, turning him into a wildly burning "black fireman."

"Urghhhhhh—!!!"

The extreme pain made Yan Shaozhe let out an inhuman howl. He struggled and twisted frantically in midair, both hands clutching Qian Jue's Angel Sword tightly.

He tried to use every last bit of strength to break free from this true demon.

Unfortunately, it was all a futile struggle.

The black flames burned ever fiercer, greedily devouring his enormous rank ninety-five Soul Power while ruthlessly stripping away his life force.

Qian Jue coldly admired the despair flowing through his fingertips, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

He slowly withdrew the Angel Sword that had pierced Yan Shaozhe's heart, allowing the body engulfed in black demonic flames to fall toward the ground below.

"Suffer, beg, struggle... then die."
