Chapter 5601 Valid

Kai gave his opponent no chance to breathe or use his methods again.

The moment the shadow materialized, he used a mysterious footwork technique, his figure disappearing from the spot as if by teleportation, and the next instant he appeared directly in front of the shadow.

The Dragon Slayer Sword, with its unstoppable momentum, slashed straight down!

This sword strike, seemingly simple, embodied all the power Kai could muster at that moment. Wherever the sword passed, a thin but long-lasting black line was ripped through the space.

Faced with this earth-shattering sword strike, the dark figure seemed to sense the threat.

Instead of taking the hit head-on, it emitted a low, hoarse, inhuman whistle and shoved forward violently.

In an instant, the space in front of it rippled violently like water, forming a constantly rotating shield made of pure dark energy.

Boom!!!

The Dragon Slayer Sword slammed into the dark shield, unleashing a deafening roar.

The terrifying energy shockwave spread out in a ring, pushing the already shattered fragments of spacetime even further away, clearing out a relatively “clean” but extremely unstable battle zone.

The dark shield trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its surface, but it did not shatter immediately and barely withstood Kai’s full-force sword strike.

Kai’s pupils contracted slightly; the shadowy figure’s defensive capabilities exceeded his expectations.

But his combat experience was so rich that if one attack failed, he would immediately change his tactics.

Using the recoil, he drifted back half a step, flipped his wrist, and turned the Dragon Slayer Sword from slashing to thrusting. The tip of the sword vibrated wildly at an extremely high frequency, instantly unleashing hundreds and thousands of sword strikes, which landed on the same spot like a storm—the center of that dark shield on the verge of collapse.

“Puff puff puff puff…!”

The dense piercing sounds blended together, and the dark shield finally could not withstand such concentrated and violent attacks, exploding into countless black specks of light.

The sword energy pierced through the shield, its momentum undiminished, and shot straight towards the shadowy figure.

The shadowy figure seemed to have not expected Kai’s attacks to be so continuous and penetrating. In its haste, its twisted body contorted rapidly backward in a way that defied the laws of physics, trying to avoid the direct hit of the sword energy.

At the same time, the dark aura around it surged violently, like boiling ink, and quickly laid out layer after layer of shadow barriers in front of it.

“Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!”

The sharp sword energy pierced through several layers of shadow barriers in succession. Although its power was weakened with each layer, the last few swords still successfully struck the body of the shadowy figure.

There was no splatter of blood, nor the sound of something being pierced. The part of the shadow that was struck by the sword energy simply rippled like smoke and became slightly thinner.

It quickly condensed again, but the two points of scarlet light were noticeably dimmer and flickering, revealing that they were not completely unharmed.

“efficient!”

Kai felt reassured; this dark figure was not invincible. He pressed his advantage, leaping forward once more, his Dragon-Slaying Sword swirling like a roaring golden dragon, unleashing the finest sword techniques he had ever learned.

At times, his swordplay was powerful and sweeping, capable of splitting Mount Hua in two;

Sometimes the sword moves with lightness and agility, unpredictable and cunning;

At other times, it transforms into a sky full of sword shadows, making it impossible for people to distinguish between reality and illusion.

The dark figure appeared somewhat overwhelmed by Kai’s relentless and storm-like attacks.

It seems to be extremely adept at concealing itself and manipulating time and space to trap and ambush enemies, but it cannot gain much advantage in such a head-on, intense battle.

It constantly flickers and shifts in space and time, sometimes blending into the shadows, sometimes launching a surprise attack from another angle, wielding dark blades capable of cutting through space, or condensing shadow spears that can corrode immortal essence, in an attempt to reverse its disadvantage.
