Chapter 5677
Time reversal was interrupted, and his punch, imbued with all his strength, lost its most powerful reliance. Although still incredibly powerful, it now revealed a huge flaw!
And that was exactly the flaw Kai wanted!
In the accelerated state of time, his thoughts and actions were incredibly fast.
As he shattered the time reversal with a single finger, the Dragon-Slaying Sword in his right hand transformed into a streak of light tearing through the void!
“Slash!”
There was no dazzling sword light, no earth-shattering roar, only a dark sword mark, condensed to its extreme, seemingly capable of swallowing even light.
It flashed past in the subtle gap where the burly man’s power flow was most sluggish, where old power was exhausted and new power had not yet arisen!
Fast!
Indescribably fast!
This was speed that surpassed sight, even surpassing divine sense! It was a killing blow under the accelerated time!
The burly man’s massive body suddenly froze, his forward momentum abruptly halted.
He remained in the punching posture, standing there blankly, looking down at his chest.
There, a thin line of blood slowly appeared, stretching from his left shoulder to his right abdomen.
His bronze armor, as if weathered by millennia, silently cracked open, the cut smooth as a mirror.
The violent power within him dissipated rapidly, like a deflated balloon. His eyes, which had just ignited with rage, were now filled with boundless bewilderment and emptiness.
“Time…time…how is this possible…”
he managed to utter a few indistinct syllables.
The next moment—
“Sizzle!”
The burly man’s robust body was neatly severed in two along that line of blood!
Blood gushed out like a fountain, his internal organs spilling onto the ground!
The mangled body fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The mysterious powerhouse under the Soul Devourer, who possessed profound secrets of the origin of time, was dead! Killed instantly
by Kai with a single sword strike!
The entire process happened in the blink of an eye.
From the burly man’s furious attack to Kai’s seemingly effortless counterattack with a single finger and sword, the events unfolded so quickly that it was impossible for anyone to keep up.
Absolute silence fell once more within the main hall.
But this silence was entirely different from the previous deathly despair.
It was one of utter shock, a mind-blowing horror, a euphoric ascent from hell to heaven, a mixture of elation and bewilderment!
All eyes were fixed on the young man in blue robes, sword in hand, standing proudly amidst the ruins and pools of blood.
His clothes were stained with blood, his face pale, his breathing still unsteady, yet in everyone’s eyes, his figure seemed infinitely towering, like a divine mountain supporting the heavens and earth, radiating an unbearable light!
“We…we won?” a disciple of the Yama Heavenly Sect murmured, his voice trembling, tinged with tears.
“Mr. Chen…killed that monster!” another disciple shouted excitedly.
“Roar! Mr. Chen is mighty!”
“The Yama Heavenly Sect is saved!”
After a brief silence, a roar of ecstatic cheers erupted!
The joy of surviving a catastrophe, coupled with awe and reverence for Kai’s immense strength, drove all the Yama Heavenly Sect disciples into a frenzy!
Yan Nantian let out a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxing, only then realizing that his back was completely soaked with cold sweat.
He looked at Kai, his eyes filled with immense relief and complex emotions.
He had gambled correctly!
The powerful figure behind Kai hadn’t even appeared yet, and Kai himself had already grown to such a terrifying level!
A blush rose on Liu Xue’s pale face. Looking at Kai’s figure, her beautiful eyes shone with a strange light, and her heart pounded uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, the Soul Devouring Lord, seated high above, had a face so dark it could drip water.
He slowly rose from his throne, and the abyss-like demonic energy around him began to surge violently.
A pressure far more terrifying and despairing than before, like an invisible mountain, slowly descended, instantly silencing all the cheers in the hall!
He stared intently at Kai, his voice icy and chilling, as if from the deepest hell:
“Good! Very good! Boy, you’ve surprised me time and time again.”
“It seems I have no choice but to… personally crush this annoying ant!”
The real crisis has only just begun!
The Soul Devouring Lord is about to make his move!
