Chapter 1618: Prepare to die!

Ye Zhangqing's appearance indeed surprised Xue Luoxing, but as the Demon Clan Young Master, he had absolute confidence in his combat power.

Although I don't know where Ye Zhangqing came from, among his peers Xue Luoxing is confident he won't lose to anyone.

He intended to first crush the token in his hand, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's token, to summon the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's soul avatar.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing naturally wouldn't give him that chance.

At that very moment, something unexpected happened!

Ye Zhangqing, who had originally been some distance away from Xue Luoxing, suddenly vanished from his spot like a ghost.

And in the next second, he appeared before Xue Luoxing as if by instantaneous movement, without any warning.

It seemed as if time and space could not restrain his movements; this eerie ability left everyone stunned.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing suddenly appear before him, a flash of shock crossed Xue Luoxing's eyes.

Just now, Ye Zhangqing's sudden burst of speed was so fast that even he couldn't see it clearly.

Before Xue Luoxing could react, Ye Zhangqing already swung his blade at him.

The blade in his hand flashed with cold light, as if it would tear the very space apart.

This strike carried an unmatched aura and power, leaving Xue Luoxing stunned.

Xue Luoxing was also startled by this sudden attack, but he quickly responded.

He sidestepped to dodge Ye Zhangqing's blade.

However, Ye Zhangqing did not stop; he continued to wave his kitchen knife, launching relentless attacks at Xue Luoxing.

Each strike bore a deadly threat, not to be taken lightly.

Facing Ye Zhangqing's assault, Xue Luoxing displayed superb combat skills and agile reflexes.

He nimbly evaded Ye Zhangqing's attacks and occasionally launched counterattacks.

The battle between them became extraordinarily fierce, sparks flying, blade and sword lights intertwining.

The surrounding air seemed to grow heavy from their fight, the tension reaching its peak.

Ye Zhangqing's offensive was as fierce as a sudden storm, giving Xue Luoxing no chance to catch his breath.

Each of his attacks carried a fierce aura and endless power, making it hard for Xue Luoxing to resist.

Although Xue Luoxing was strong, facing such a dense barrage he appeared somewhat disheveled.

In this situation, Xue Luoxing had no time to think about how to respond, let alone crush the token in his hand.

He could only keep dodging Ye Zhangqing's attacks while trying to find an opportunity to strike back.

However, Ye Zhangqing's attacks were too fierce, so he never found a suitable moment.

"Damn it."

He gritted his teeth and cursed silently.

Xue Luoxing admitted that he had underestimated Ye Zhangqing; this kid's strength had definitely reached his level.

He truly belonged to the ranks of the Zhu Tian Wan Jie Top Prodigies.

He had never heard of Ye Zhangqing before.

Just as Xue Luoxing was silently cursing, Ye Zhangqing hesitated not and swung his blade again.

Only a brilliant blade light tore through the void, carrying an extremely fierce aura, heading straight for Xue Luoxing.

Facing this fierce blade light, Xue Luoxing's expression changed slightly, but he did not retreat.

Only saw his hands dance, and blood light surged up from his whole body, forming a blood-colored shield.

This shield seemed to be condensed from fresh blood, exuding a strong bloody scent, giving a feeling of great power and mystery.

At the same time, Xue Luoxing chanted, and strange runes flew from his body into that blood-colored shield.

These runes flickered with an eerie light, making that blood-colored shield even stronger.

The blood-colored light, like a solid shield, tightly wrapped Xue Luoxing, as if an impregnable defensive wall.

And the blade light that Ye Zhangqing slashed out surged from his blade, carrying an unmatched might, fiercely chopping toward that blood-colored light.

This strike was like lightning tearing across the sky, carrying endless killing intent and domineering aura, making one unable to help but glance sideways.

When the blade light collided with the blood-colored light, a tremendous earth-shaking roar erupted instantly, as if the whole space were torn apart, countless streams of energy scattering in all directions, stirring up a huge storm.

However, despite Ye Zhangqing's attack being astonishingly powerful, that blood-colored light was not easily broken.

It was like a tenacious guardian, stubbornly blocking Ye Zhangqing's offensive.

During their fierce clash, a strong energy ripple kept spreading, plunging everything around into chaos.

Having successfully blocked Ye Zhangqing's strike, Xue Luoxing hesitated not and directly crushed the token in his hand.

Given Ye Zhangqing's strength, Xue Luoxing knew it would be hard to decide a winner between them in a short time.

Having previously underestimated Ye Zhangqing, now Xue Luoxing regarded him wholly as an opponent of his own level.

As the token was crushed, a splendid light shot up into the sky, followed immediately by a terrifying pressure like an invisible mountain pressing down on the entire battlefield.

That pressure seemed to come from an ancient giant beast, bearing endless majesty and domineering aura, making one feel reverence involuntarily.

The Eternal Night Old Ancestor, locked in battle with the Demon Clan Old Ancestor, also spoke in a cold voice.

"Looks like this is your trump card?"

The Demon Clan Old Ancestor neither denied it, letting out a cold laugh.

"How many can you block?"

Two Ancestral Realm soul avatars— in a short time, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor would also struggle to cope.

However, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor showed no panic at all; the Demon Clan has trump cards— could it be that they have none?

Having successfully summoned the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's soul avatar, Xue Luoxing looked at Ye Zhangqing and shouted with soaring battle intent.

Successfully summoned the divine soul avatar of the forefather of the Human Emperor Huánggōng, Blood Falling Star looked at Ye Zhangqing, battle intent surged to the heavens.

Again

Now he could go all out against Ye Zhangqing.

However, at this very moment, something unexpected happened.

A figure silently appeared behind Xueluo Xing like a ghost, as if walking out of the darkness.

The figure's appearance was so sudden that Xueluo Xing noticed nothing amiss.

By the time he realized the danger, it was already too late to react.

He saw that the figure held an extremely sharp dagger, and with astonishing speed and precision, stabbed straight into Xueluo Xing's chest.

The dagger plunged deep into flesh, instantly piercing the heart, causing Xueluo Xing a sharp pain.

He widened his eyes, watching in disbelief as blood poured from his chest.

"You bastard, die!"

The one who struck was none other than Luo Jiuyou, who had been waiting in the dark for an opportunity.

And as Luo Jiuyou made his move, the powerful Netherworld clansmen hidden in the darkness also sprang into action.

They joined the battle.
