In Jianzhou Country, the Heavenly Demon War had reached its most intense stage!
Both men possessed the power to shatter the void with every gesture. In tacit agreement, they avoided close-quarters combat, each claiming a section of the sky as they traded shockwaves unleashed by fists and kicks!
This kind of battle was mindlessly simple, yet incomparably brutal!
The clash of blood and fire turned the sky into a chaotic haze. They could not see one another, yet each knew the rise and fall of the other's heartbeat, the pace and weight of the other's breathing!
