"You think I'm a fool?" Zhang Yuanji sneered coldly.
The only reason he was still standing here alive was because of the sword he held in his hand!
"Sword Spirit, I will kill them all, offering their blood as a tribute to you," Zhang Yuanji said, looking at his sword, as if speaking to himself.
"Can you even kill a Seven-Star Martial God?" Ye Fan's voice echoed in his mind.
However, if he could slay these two Seven-Star Martial Gods, it should yield fourteen hundred million evolution points, right?
Swoosh—
Without wasting a word, Zhang Yuanji's intent surged, and he charged forward with his sword aimed straight at Zhao Yongsheng.
Clang—
Zhao Yongsheng quickly raised his sword to block the attack.
[Phantom Dance]!!!
Just as Zhao Yongsheng prepared to counterattack, Zhang Yuanji activated the sword's ability! His figure blurred into hundreds of afterimages.
Countless sword flashes enveloped Zhao Yongsheng, leaving him with no way to counterattack, forcing him to continuously parry with his weapon.
Damn it! What kind of sword technique is this?
Zhao Yongsheng couldn't recall ever teaching Zhang Yuanji such a sword technique! Although he managed to block every attack, there was a growing problem.
His weapon was beginning to crack!
The cracks multiplied rapidly!
This won't do! If this continues, his weapon will shatter just like Zhao Xinghe's had!
At that moment, Zhao Yongsheng abandoned his defense and swiftly dodged to the side.
"Damn it!"
After dodging, he glanced at his sword, now riddled with cracks, the result of their recent clash.
How sharp is that sword?
Just a few strikes, and it's already like this?
The sharpness of Zhang Yuanji's sword was beyond comprehension!
But Zhang Yuanji didn't pay him any further attention and instead turned to charge toward the heavily injured Zhao Xinghe.
Killing Zhao Yongsheng would be challenging, but Zhao Xinghe, already injured and without a weapon, would be much easier prey.
Zhao Xinghe's body was riddled with fragments of his broken weapon, and he was attempting to flee.
Without a weapon and gravely injured, he had no chance in a fight.
"Zhang Yuanji!!!"
Just as Zhang Yuanji was about to finish Zhao Xinghe off, a furious shout echoed from above. Several Martial Gods were flying down from the sky, and one of them raised his hand, using immense energy to pull a mountain peak toward Zhang Yuanji.
The mountain hurtled toward Zhang Yuanji like a massive projectile.
"Today, I will kill every last one of you!"
Zhang Yuanji's eyes glinted coldly, completely unafraid. Gripping his sword with both hands, he unleashed a surge of sword energy.
The sword energy formed a giant sword shape, extending as if the blade had grown a hundred meters long.
Swoosh—
With a single slash, the massive mountain was cleaved in two!
[Heavenly Darkness Veil]!!!
Zhang Yuanji activated the ability, and a wave of dark energy erupted, spreading rapidly across the sky.
In an instant, the entire sky was shrouded in darkness.
"What's happening!?"
The Martial Gods in the sky were stunned, their vision lost in the sudden darkness.
Not only them, but even Zhao Yongsheng and Zhao Xinghe found themselves unable to see anything.
Swoosh—
A flash of cold light sliced through the darkness, followed by the warmth of splattering blood.
[Killed Three-Star Martial God, gained 300,000,000 evolution points]
[Absorbed Three-Star Martial God's blood essence, gained 3,000 energy points]
[Absorbed Three-Star Martial God's blood essence, gained 3,000 energy points]
…
"Watch out!"
As one Martial God fell, the remaining few were shocked, hastily dodging to safety.
Though they couldn't see clearly, they could still sense Zhang Yuanji's presence.
However, due to the [Heavenly Darkness Veil], their senses were dulled significantly.
Clang, clang, clang—
The sound of blades clashing echoed in the air, as cold flashes of light flickered in the darkness.
[Killed Three-Star Martial God, gained 300,000,000 evolution points]
[Killed Three-Star Martial God, gained 300,000,000 evolution points]
…
[Absorbed Three-Star Martial God's blood essence, gained 3,000 energy points]
[Absorbed Three-Star Martial God's blood essence, gained 3,000 energy points]
…
The notifications from the system kept coming. All of the inner disciples of the sect who had come with Zhao Yongsheng and Zhao Xinghe were slaughtered!
In this dark environment, Zhang Yuanji had a massive advantage!
With the blood essence and energy from the fallen Martial Gods now flooding into his sword, and then transferred back into his body, his strength surged once again.
But... it still wasn't enough!
Compared to the blood essence he had burned earlier, this was far from enough!
He had to kill Zhao Xinghe first!
Now fully recharged, Zhang Yuanji dashed toward his next target. Zhao Xinghe, unsure why the sky had turned black, could do nothing but flee.
Swoosh—
Suddenly, a streak of white flame shot toward him from behind!
As a Seven-Star Martial God, Zhao Xinghe's reflexes were sharp, and he dodged just in time.
Boom!
The flame hit the ground where Zhao Xinghe had been standing moments before, erupting with tremendous force.
But even as he dodged, Zhang Yuanji's fury was undiminished.
"I swear, I will kill you!!!"
Zhang Yuanji roared, burning his blood essence once again!
The blood he had just replenished was consumed in an instant.
Boom—
With the burning of his blood essence, his sword surged with even more terrifying power.
The energy coursed through his body, making him even stronger.
"My power now rivals that of a Seven-Star Martial God!"
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Yuanji laughed maniacally.
