"This bastard... all troops, heed my command! Kill!"

The Leopard King barked an order and pulled back. Having realized that Mingye's strength was extraordinary, he intended to overwhelm him with the sheer might of the Leopard Army!

"Kill!"

"Kill him!"

"Avenge our brothers!"

The auras of over seven thousand leopard demons seemed to fuse into a single whole, their killing intent and demonic energy gathering as one!

Their battle cries and the rumbling of the ground instantly resounded across the land.

"Hmph. Eggs against a rock!"

Mingye snorted coldly, his sword moving with his body. Sword energy streamed like a long dragon, piercing one leopard after another.

Chongli also charged into the Leopard Army. His enormous body shook the earth until it cracked, and every blow of his iron fists pounded leopards into bloody pulp!

Yet the Leopard Army seemed to know no fear of death. Under the Leopard King's orders, they threw themselves fearlessly at Mingye and Chongli.

The densely packed leopards surrounded Mingye and Chongli on all sides. Meanwhile, the Leopard King suppressed his aura, becoming almost a shadow as he struck viciously at Mingye from time to time.

Facing so many demons at once inevitably divided Mingye's attention. The Leopard King's plan was a good one.

A single wave of attacks had already consumed a considerable amount of Mingye's demon power.

The sight left the Red Evil Ogre trembling in his hiding place. The force carried by such a charging army was astonishing!

Yet that black-clad figure stood firm, his freezing sword energy actually holding back the army's charge!

Every swing of his sword killed over a hundred leopards.

"Damn it, that brat's sword is truly extraordinary!"

After repeated sneak attacks failed and the Leopard Army's casualties grew ever worse, the Leopard King realized just how powerful the divine weapon in Mingye's hand was.

"And... he still has another sword he hasn't drawn... how could one brat have so many divine weapons?!"

The Leopard King's heart sank, his brows tightly knitted. Even he needed to give his all to withstand that sword pressure.

Surrounded by the army, Mingye saw his opponents as sheep, while he was the fiercest wolf!

The sharp sword in his hand showed no mercy. His control over the demon power within him was so precise that every fraction of his strength could slay a demon.

His overwhelming sword pressure bore down on the entire army!

Even amid that army, Mingye continued to temper his blood and vitality. The blood within him surged like a mighty river, boiling!

Battle was the fastest way to improve. Any battle that failed to defeat Mingye would become a stepping stone for his growth.

Though he continually expended demon power, Mingye's aura grew ever stronger. He seemed like a true god of war, beyond any demon's ability to match!

This... is unbelievable! Such exquisite control over his demon power! And the might of that sword in his hand-terrifying!

The Red Evil Ogre could not help marveling inwardly. Only now did he understand why the Dog General had thought so highly of Mingye.

His precise control of demon power was not the slightest bit inferior to Lord Sesshomaru's.

Moreover, he wielded a divine sword that could destroy a hundred demons with one stroke. Its power was like that of the Tessaiga in the General's hand: ordinary demons died at its touch!

Compared with Mingye's overwhelming strength, Chongli was in a somewhat sorry state. Though his body was enormous and his strength considerable, he was simply too young.

His golden fur was already stained red with blood, and he bore numerous wounds.

Of course, the blood on him was not all his own. Most belonged to his enemies. His punches were astonishingly powerful, each blow smashing leopards to pieces.

Just as the Red Evil Ogre thought this demon resembling a mighty ape, who had appeared alongside Mingye, was about to fall, Chongli's wounds began healing rapidly, radiating an emerald glow.

It was the Healing Gem obtained from the Earth Dragon Clan, proving immensely effective at this moment. No longer fearing injury, Chongli grew ferocious once more!

He even has a trick like that!

The Red Evil Ogre was astonished again. This golden-furred ape's demon power was clearly weaker than his own, yet the might he now displayed far exceeded what that power should have allowed!

Even one of Mingye's followers was no ordinary demon!

The battle raged fiercely. Mingye's sword pressure carried extraordinary cold, freezing everyone it touched into ice sculptures-the finest ingredients.

"Brat! Die!"

The Leopard King finally found his opportunity. He sensed that Mingye's demon power had ebbed. This was the perfect moment for a surprise killing blow!

Demon power erupted from the Leopard King's entire body, crimson energy rising like an almost tangible blaze.

His body reverted to its true form, and a savage, ferocious giant leopard emerged from the shadows.

His formidable presence pressed down until the ground beneath him began to crumble. Disgusting slime dripped from his sharp fangs.

Roar!

He threw back his head and howled. This was no ordinary beast's roar.

Ferocious demon power burst forth through a special sound, its waves becoming almost tangible shock waves that swept across the land like raging surf.

Great swaths of earth were torn up as though a bulldozer had plowed through them. The attack covered an enormous area, even catching his own Leopard People in its reach!

The sonic wave instantly slammed toward Mingye as he swung his sword to slaughter his enemies, stirring the blood and vitality throughout his body.

After freezing over a hundred leopards, Mingye's eyes also turned crimson. His demon power erupted as his blood boiled.

Responding to that surging power, the Evil Sword rang out again and again, completely dissipating the sound of the Leopard King's howl.

At that very moment, the sky suddenly darkened!

There was no other cause: the Leopard King had already moved above Mingye, his enormous body blotting out the sun.

His aura was terrifying, bearing down like a collapsing mountain. His claw swept through the air, and violent currents churned wildly beneath the force of the strike.

"Cold Thrust!"

Unfazed by the danger, Mingye remained perfectly calm as he raised his sword and thrust skyward.

It was merely an ordinary movement, yet it unleashed unimaginable power.

Terrifying cold shot from the edge of the Evil Sword, thin and condensed to the utmost. All that dreadful chill was compressed into that single Cold Thrust.

The sword's edge collided with the enormous claw. As their tremendous forces clashed, a massive shock wave surged outward in every direction from the point of impact.

The ice sculptures on the ground shattered into fragments beneath the blast!

The remaining Leopard People dared not advance and hurriedly retreated!

Chongli also leaped back, retreating several hundred meters.

The Red Evil Ogre stared wide-eyed into the distance, straining to see. He knew this single exchange would decide the battle!

The wind carried the freezing air in every direction, turning the area into an enormous cavern of ice. Anything touched by the cold became ice blue.

As the cold met the sunlight, it turned into thick white vapor, shrouding the center of the clash.

The Leopard People, Chongli, and even the members of the Demon Wolf Tribe within the Guardian Barrier all wanted to know the outcome of this battle.

Every eye was fixed upon it!
