Jun Yi turned to look at the body of the King of Slaughter, and saw that his aura was gradually rising, with countless blood-red rays swirling around him.
Jun Yi understood that this was a sign that Tang Chen's consciousness was about to awaken. He did not interrupt, but instead stood not far away and quietly watched Tang Chen awaken.
All he wanted to do was have a good fight with Tang Chen to see just how strong he had become and how much of an improvement the Asura God Ring had brought him.
Tang Chen slowly opened his eyes, his gaze radiating a sharp killing intent that seemed capable of freezing the air itself. He looked at his own body, then at Jun Yi, his brows furrowing slightly.
The next second, a red aura emanated from Tang Chen, and his entire appearance underwent a dramatic change.
The Tang Chen before him was no longer the King of Slaughter he had just witnessed. He exuded an aura of majesty, as if he were a demon lord from the deepest hell. His figure had become as upright as a pine tree, his complexion fair, and his eyes as deep as the sea. His long hair cascaded down his shoulders, and a golden mark appeared between his brows—the mark of the Asura God's inheritance. "You must be Senior Tang Chen," Jun Yi said slowly as he approached Tang Chen, a hint of respect in his eyes. "Child, thank you for your help, which allowed me to fully awaken," Tang Chen smiled slightly, his voice like heavenly music, soothing and delightful.
"These are trivial matters. I've come today to take your life, senior." Jun Yi smiled faintly, releasing his aura completely. A black and gold God Ring slowly appeared behind him, and a powerful pressure pressed down on Tang Chen.
"This is... the aura of the Asura God? You also obtained the Asura God's inheritance?" Tang Chen looked at Jun Yi in surprise, a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
"Senior, you're getting old. It's time for us newcomers to make way." Jun Yi's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Tang Chen smiled slightly, showing no panic at Jun Yi's threat. Instead, he slowly rose to his feet, the red Asura God Ring behind him gleaming brightly. "Child, you speak with great confidence, but the Asura God's legacy is not so easily mastered. You still have a long way to go," Tang Chen said calmly, his voice filled with confidence and authority. "Your courage is commendable, but taking my life will not be so easy," Tang Chen said indifferently.
"Senior, we're in the same boat." Jun Yi smiled faintly, and a black and gold God Ring slowly emerged behind him, pressing down on Tang Chen with a powerful aura.
Tang Chen sighed softly, seemingly unwilling to continue this verbal sparring with Jun Yi. He slowly raised his hand, and crimson energy gathered in his palm, forming a Asura Demonic Sword.
"Child, you have great courage. Then I will use the Asura Demonic Sword to test your skills."
Tang Chen said, his eyes flashing with determination. Jun Yi also instantly entered battle mode, gathering all his power in his right hand, the black and gold God Ring behind him spinning continuously.
A powerful pressure descended upon Tang Chen, as if to crush him. Tang Chen smiled slightly, and his figure vanished from his spot in an instant. The next second, he appeared behind Jun Yi, the Asura Demonic Sword in his hand stabbing towards Jun Yi's back. Jun Yi reacted instantly, turning around abruptly, light condensing beneath his feet as he kicked the Asura Demonic Sword.
Two powerful forces collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar. Jun Yi was forced back by Tang Chen's attack, clearly at a disadvantage. However, he did not give up. Golden light continuously merged with the God Ring behind him, and a crimson light sword resembling the Asura Demonic Sword appeared in Jun Yi's hand.
He attacked Tang Chen again, and the battle between the two became increasingly fierce. The sound of the Asura Demonic Sword clashing with the crimson light sword resounded through the sky.
This attracted many people from the Slaughter City to come to the top of the city to search for the source of this aura.
The Asura Demonic Sword in Tang Chen's hand exuded a dense blood aura, and each swing emitted a sharp screech, as if it could tear the air apart. However, the lightsaber in Jun Yi's hand was even more bizarre. It seemed to be able to traverse space at will, directly piercing through Tang Chen's attack, and then reappearing behind Tang Chen, slashing towards his body.
"Very good, your strength has reached a very high level. Even in my prime, I might not have been able to dodge your attacks so easily," Tang Chen said slowly, his eyes gleaming with admiration.
Jun Yi smiled faintly, said nothing, and launched another attack on Tang Chen. His figure was like Gui Mei, weaving through the air, his lightsaber flashing a dazzling red light as he slashed at Tang Chen again and again.
As the two continued their clashes, Tang Chen visibly fell into a disadvantageous position. The parasitic presence of the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King and its potent poison had been eroding Tang Chen's body for decades, causing his strength to decline.
The two separated abruptly, a trickle of blood escaping from Tang Chen's lips. "It seems I truly am getting old," Tang Chen murmured, his body trembling slightly, clearly indicating that the toxins had invaded his internal organs. "Senior, youth has its advantages in combat. Today, I bid you farewell."
"Although I am old, I am still far beyond what you, a junior, can compare to."
As he spoke, Tang Chen slowly sheathed the Asura Demonic Sword, and a crimson Clear Sky Hammer radiating bloodlust appeared in his hand.
The moment the Clear Sky Hammer appeared, the entire Slaughter City seemed to dim. An ancient and heavy aura emanated from the hammer, and a Heaven Dou spirit burst forth from Tang Chen.
"Boom!" A violent explosion rang out in the sky above the Slaughter City Slaughter City, scattering the clouds above. Everyone looked in astonishment toward the direction of the explosion, only to see that Tang Chen and Jun Yi had left their original positions. Their figures were intertwined in the air, their hammers and swords clashing repeatedly, producing a series of ear-piercing metallic clangs.
A hint of surprise flashed in Jun Yi's eyes. He hadn't expected Tang Chen to be able to react so quickly and unleash such a powerful attack after being hit with his full force. Tang Chen's strength had indeed reached an astonishing level. Even though the poison in his body had eroded his health, his strength was still not to be underestimated.
"Kid, you are indeed very capable, but you still have a long way to go," Tang Chen said coldly, his eyes revealing a hint of confidence and authority.
"Let me show you why my Clear Sky Hammer is known as the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world."
