In midair, a man in black robes screamed and plummeted straight into the demon soldiers below.
The lesser ray demons hurriedly gathered around and caught their general, only to find him rigid and motionless.
Alarmed, they lifted his black robe with trembling hands, revealing a sword wound so deep it exposed bone, stretching from his left shoulder to his right abdomen.
One of them worked up the courage to press gently on the wound. Blood gushed out, and the wound continued splitting apart.
Only then did the lesser demons realize in horror that the sword had cut far deeper than they had imagined.
Their general's internal organs had all been cleaved in half, and even the demon core in his abdomen had been sliced into two semicircles!
In a final rally, the Devil Ray commander struggled to open his eyes. Looking at the demon soldiers surrounding him, he glared and cursed, "What the fuck are you still staring at? I'm done for! Run! If you don't... you'll all die!"
The moment he finished speaking, blood poured from his mouth. His eyes closed, and he stopped breathing altogether.
His order for his demon soldiers to flee became his last words.
In a single exchange, the Devil Ray's battle formation had been broken.
The tiger shark battle formation immediately stopped. After what seemed like only a moment's hesitation, it turned and retreated frantically.
Ao Han did not pursue. He simply stood between the golden-armored Divine Dragon's horns, one hand resting on his sword, his icy gaze shifting between the tiger shark and the Spear Fish.
But Cui Jiuyang saw through Ao Han's bluff.
After delivering that first strike, Ao Han had immediately tried to swing a second time at the tiger shark, but he had lowered his sword halfway through raising it.
