the dark glow on the blade swiftly faded, turning into a soul-chilling black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his first full-power strike since reaching the peak of Jade Fluid realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Greedy Wolf Slayer, perfected to the zenith, revealed unprecedented sharpness under the bolster of his profound realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yi Dao slashed down abruptly, without the grand roar of earlier sword Gang , silent and pure, embodying nothing but absolute sharpness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tuo  Dragon, enraged, had already prepared itself—but it simply could not take this blade technique seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when the black blade drew near did a chill surge from its soles to its crown; its eyes widened in shock, it stomped its foot, and slammed its scaled elbow straight into the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bare flesh against the blade’s edge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack—crack—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not the sound of slicing flesh, nor metal clashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, every scale on the Tuo  Dragon’s arm stood upright, like countless curved blades sprouting along its limb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yi Dao did not touch its skin or flesh—it merely scraped off a layer of scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using that fleeting moment of reaction, the Tuo  Dragon spun around; its wide robe flared open, and a thick, powerful tail whipped out—forged like solid steel, it slammed hard against the youth’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the demon’s hidden killing move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yi’s eyes turned cold; his perfected blade technique flowed effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a single breath, he slashed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as it was about to strike, the steel-hard tail suddenly turned supple and agile—the earlier ferocity had been a deception; it never intended to clash with the Yi Dao, instead coiling tightly around Shen Yi’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, the scales on the tail also stood erect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sssshh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a single turn, three killing blows were concealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silk sleeve tore open, stained with dark red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tuo  Dragon’s expression darkened; its scales were a thousand-year-cultivated armor, appearing merely as natural scales, but in truth long-refined into a single, inseparable defense-offense treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was its most precious possession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in a single glance, dozens of scales had been sheared off by that strange black blade; its heart was already screaming in anguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could any mere skin wound compare?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tuo  Dragon’s eyes blazed with murderous fury; it surged again, determined to crush the youth’s entire arm in one motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, it suddenly noticed Shen Yi opening his palm, five fingers tightly gripping its tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You, a mere mortal, dare wrestle with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tuo  Dragon sensed his intent, found it laughable, yet felt a sting of provoked rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a mortal could match a naturally born demon in raw flesh, there’d be no need to study martial arts at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thought had not yet faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, everything in its vision flipped upside down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yi, gripping the crocodile tail, swung it high into the air and hurled it out without resistance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tuo  Dragon tumbled out, its rough claws sinking into the stone like rakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shook its flat head, its bulging eyes dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as if realizing something, it lifted its head, face alight with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had assumed the opponent had merely unintentionally refined a trace of dragon blood—yet… ha… Jingran , Jingran  absorbed it so perfectly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes turned crimson as it leaned forward and bellowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a piercing, ecstatic roar drew attention from the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very moment Shen Yi moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of Golden Eagle Captains swiftly threw their chains, trapping the Furious Sword Elder within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon-Sealing Array was not pure martial art; beyond technique, its power lay in the chains’ material, which could severely hinder spiritual flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Provided… they could catch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The array’s central point, meant for Zhao Kanglin, was now occupied by Hong Lei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their coordination was clumsy; it was barely better than fighting alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outer camp captains were much the same—unaccustomed to coordinated kills, and all hastily pulled from different sub-commanders, having trained together only a few days, barely knowing each other’s strengths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these conditions, a group of Initial Realm warriors could not even get close, risking only hindering the battle further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these factors, the Elder, wielding his five-foot sword, moved like a tiger among sheep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Hong Lei’s foundation was solid; though he didn’t understand how to coordinate the Demon-Sealing Array, he knew the old man feared the chains, and with that advantage, he could barely hold out for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent was clearly using a secret technique to sustain himself, burning his life force to briefly return to his peak—even this technique hadn’t fully taken effect, and his aura was visibly weakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could just hold out three incense sticks… no need for him to strike; the opponent would die on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t know how many more would die within those three incense sticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And more importantly, how long could Shen Yi, even at his strongest, hold back the Jade Fluid peak demon behind him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-haired Elder swung his sword casually; thick sword Gang  sprayed out. Hong Lei could dodge, but the Golden Eagle Captains holding the chains had nowhere to flee—he couldn’t let the array be so easily shattered, so he gritted his teeth and took the blows head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless poisoned darts and arrows flew in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elder made no attempt to dodge; he let them pierce his skin, then brushed them off casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lethal poison held no terror for a man already dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t even match the impact of the Tuo  Dragon’s roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elder turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, the demon’s blue robes were shredded, clearly enraged, its footsteps shaking the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opposite it, Shen Yi slowly sheathed the Yi Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elder’s cloudy eyes filled with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, the youth’s aura remained strong—he hadn’t even begun to tire. Why sheathe the blade?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Shen Yi answered his confusion with action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he lifted his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the silent night, countless eerie crimson dots appeared, spreading malevolent aura, as if turning the ground into a hellish realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elder gripped his sword tighter; his once-still heart finally trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen this before—when the Regional Commander of Qingzhou was young, he used this technique, called the Fourfold True Gang , earning great renown across Qingzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five supreme arts, each said to dominate one’s realm if mastered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even then, the Commander’s Gang  lacked this density, this bone-chilling malevolence, this crimson, demonic aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not imagine how he’d feel if he stood beneath this torrent of blood-soaked Gang  rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gang  rain poured down, each drop striking the Tuo  Dragon precisely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thousand-year demon from the Yangchun River was driven back, its prized armor scorched by blazing crimson flames, nearly swallowed whole in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a heart-shaking wail remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the youth standing with hands at his sides suddenly looked this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then raised his palm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Furious Sword Elder looked up at the crimson dots forming above his head, bracing himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cloudy eyes grew dimmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand went limp; the five-foot sword slipped to the ground with a clear clang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t fear—only that everything had lost meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath this Gang , the three incense sticks he’d fought so hard to buy were now utterly pointless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Failed.
