Chapter 275: The Heart-Pounding Demon Sword Yi

Boom!

The fully developed Diamond Dragon Holy Power Zhang Yang now wielded was far more tyrannical than when he had faced Qiu Yinong at the Daybreak Phoenix Ruins.

Having already reached perfection, it had no flaws. His mastery of holy power martial arts techniques had deepened, and his cultivation had advanced by two small realms since then.

Thus, even though Yue Longxiang’s attack was ferocious, the moment the Dragon-Elephant Saint took shape, Zhang Yang obliterated it with a single punch.

A true explosion.

The power of the dragon and elephant instantly scattered, sending shockwaves rippling outward. But Zhang Yang’s strike did not end there. Like a spear piercing through bamboo, his unstoppable punch continued forward, forcing Yue Longxiang’s expression to change dramatically. This was completely beyond his expectations.

He had miscalculated.

He had never imagined that Zhang Yang’s attack would be even more overpowering than before.

In a desperate rush, he revealed his feral side, roaring as he raised his arms, bringing them together.

A dragon’s roar echoed, and an explosion of holy light surged outward in an attempt to block the attack.

Bang!

But Yue Longxiang’s power was not limitless.

His time had been too short. He had exerted his full strength in his last attack. To withstand Zhang Yang’s blow at this moment was already an incredible feat.

Similarly, Zhang Yang’s punch had consumed a significant amount of power.

While it did not shatter Yue Longxiang’s arms, it tore through his sleeves—the Infinite Divine Garment—splitting open his flesh and scattering blood.

Yue Longxiang was blasted backward.

And then, Zhang Yang’s clenched fist suddenly relaxed.

His fingers curled into a grasp, just in time to seize Yue Longxiang’s left forearm, and with a powerful swing, he swept him aside.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The four experts from the Major Holy Places, led by Langya Genius, were all struck by Yue Longxiang’s body, sent flying like ragdolls.

In a panic, they attacked wildly, but the moment they saw Yue Longxiang being used as a weapon, they hesitated.

If they unleashed their full power, they might kill him, which would be a disaster.

After all, Yue Longxiang was the Naturally Born Son, his parent a living Saint.

Their hesitation cost them.

Already struggling, now hindered further, they were unable to resist, and were scattered instantly.

Thus, Demon Sword Yi, who had been charging forward, was suddenly forced to confront Yue Longxiang instead.

And at that moment, Demon Sword Yi’s true power became evident.

Having already exerted his full strength to unleash an unparalleled sword strike, he did something unbelievable. At the last moment, his wrist trembled slightly, and he retracted his sword’s power.

Instead, he punched Yue Longxiang’s foot.

Buzz!

A surge of inner strength pulsed through Yue Longxiang’s body. Using this force, he broke free from Zhang Yang’s grip. Flipping mid-air, he reversed his fall, and charged at Zhang Yang again.

This time, his rage was limitless.

The dignified Naturally Born Son being used as a human weapon was an absolute humiliation.

"Roar!"

Yue Longxiang howled, his holy blood boiling and raging, as if a saint’s roar was echoing within him. His blood surged, and the dragon and elephant gathered once more, merging into his body.

His right hand clenched into a fist, channeling the dragon and elephant, now infused with holy blood, unleashing a strike of unparalleled violence.

This punch shattered the void.

No one else dared to interfere.

Zhang Yang’s expression turned cold. Yue Longxiang was indeed worthy of his full strength.

Fully developed Diamond Dragon Holy Power!

This time, he activated all of his Nine Extremes True Essence.

Even at the sixth level of the Ascending to Heaven Realm, wielding such immense power was an immense burden.

"Roar!"

With a punch, carrying the thunderous roar of the Vajra Holy Dragon, the very sound alone caused spectators within hundreds of meters to clutch their heads in pain. Some bled from their ears, others fainted on the spot.

Even Yue Longxiang, at such close range, found his ears ringing as his hearing momentarily vanished. He could only watch as Zhang Yang’s punch transformed into a golden Vajra Holy Dragon, surging forward as if to annihilate the world itself.

Bang!

This was the feeling of fists hitting flesh.

There was no stalemate—only pure destruction.

Yue Longxiang’s naturally dominating Holy Body and holy blood were struck with a devastating blow in an instant.

His right hand and forearm shattered completely, flesh and blood scattering through the air, leaving nothing behind.

Yue Longxiang let out a piercing scream as he was sent flying uncontrollably. His massive body, like a small mountain, crashed backward, once again forcing Demon Sword Yi to evade.

"Roar!"

Zhang Yang, too, unleashed his wild intent, his fighting spirit surging.

That punch had been exhilarating, making him tilt his head back and roar as he chased after Yue Longxiang, refusing to give him a moment to recover.

“Go back!”

At this moment, only Demon Sword Yi dared to utter such dominant words.

Disrupted twice in a row, this time, nothing stood in his way.

He swung his sword with full force.

The sword light blazed, and within it, a Demon Saint emerged, as if truly descending upon the world, launching a fierce strike at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang remained calm, throwing a punch with his other hand.

Simple. Direct. Accompanied by the roar of a dragon.

Crack!

The sword light shattered.

However, instead of dispersing, the fragments transformed into a fine rain of swords, reversing course and striking back at Demon Sword Yi.

Demon Sword Yi let out a battle cry, thrusting his sword once more.

To Zhang Yang’s surprise, the scattered sword light adhered to Demon Sword Yi’s blade, forming a miraculous fusion, a technique that made one plus one equal two.

This caused Zhang Yang to narrow his eyes in recognition.

Demon Sword Yi had no connection to the Saint’s Path, yet his combat ability surpassed Yue Longxiang’s, elevating his swordsmanship to its very peak.

If battle skills had levels, then Demon Sword Yi was undoubtedly at the level of a saint.

With this one sword strike, his power nearly doubled.

This completely eclipsed Yue Longxiang’s killing power.

For the first time, Zhang Yang was forced to take him seriously.

Flipping his wrist, he drew the Crimson Sun Divine Rod and smashed it against the sword.

"You are strong, worthy of overpowering Yaoruoxian."

"You’re too dangerous, so die!"

He was the third person, after the Seventh Prince and Yaoruoxian—to provoke such murderous intent in Zhang Yang.

The Seventh Prince was a matter of deep-seated hatred, an uncontrollable urge to kill. Yaoruoxian was a genius with unparalleled talent, cold-blooded and proud beyond measure. And now, Demon Sword Yi, a man with no ties to any saintly path, had unleashed a sword strike of such insanity. What if he wielded holy power? What if he possessed a Holy Body? What if he mastered the Saints’ Laws?

Then, looking across the Vast Forest, who among his peers could possibly stand against him?

At least, Zhang Yang currently believed no one could.

Even Ye Kuanglan would be uncertain.

Thus, he felt killing intent rise within him.

The Crimson Sun Divine Rod, infused with the Diamond Dragon Holy Power, smashed down, taking the form of a Vajra Holy Dragon.

Boom!

Zhang Yang went berserk, unleashing a terrifying power.

The 99,000-jin weight of the Crimson Sun Divine Rod combined with his own overwhelming strength. It was unstoppable.

The frightening sword strike was nearly shattered upon impact, sending intense shockwaves rippling outward.

Countless sword lights dissipated.

A violent force rebounded from the sword, launching Demon Sword Yi into the air.

Crack!

Demon Sword Yi, mid-air, spat out blood.

The Life-Protecting Divine Pearl at his waist shattered.

In other words, Zhang Yang’s strike had been a killing blow.

The Life-Protecting Divine Pearl had taken his place. Even Demon Sword Yi was shaken. Without hesitation, he activated an ancient teleportation array, choosing to flee.

"You can’t escape!"

Zhang Yang ignored all other opponents, swinging the Crimson Sun Divine Rod once more.

Crack!

The void shattered.
