Chapter 390: Exterminating Evil (Part 2)

In a flash, the Chini Sword shot forward nearly a hundred steps.

The blade was aimed directly at the giant’s throat!

Although the giant was massive, its senses were incredibly sharp, and its reaction speed was fast. It raised its battle axe in an attempt to block the incoming Chini Sword.

However, just as it lifted its arm, the sword’s speed suddenly increased by a third.

The giant’s battle axe missed the target, and the sword blade brushed past its thick neck.

The giant’s skin was like rocky armor, thick and tough, impervious to blades and ignoring many spells.

But the Chini Sword was close to a spiritual weapon level, having absorbed two kinds of heavenly materials and treasures, its sharpness far exceeding before. It sliced a long wound without any hesitation.

Dark red blood gushed out immediately.

“Roar!”

The giant let out a pained roar, its muscles tensed as the wound tightened, stopping the bleeding.

After flying out several yards, the Chini Sword suddenly reversed direction, aiming at the back of its head.

The giant seemed to have eyes on the back of its head. It quickly lowered its head, just barely avoiding the sword strike.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

In the next moment, bursts of spiritual light erupted on its body.

These were the Exorcism Talismans that Wang Chen had just unleashed!

Normally, first-grade legal symbols do very little damage to Grudge level Evil Spirits, and no matter how many there were, their effects were limited.

But Wang Chen’s Exorcism Talismans were crafted using Perfected Level mastery of the talisman-making technique, far exceeding the power of regular talismans.

The spiritual light hitting the giant contained the righteous energy to destroy evil, shattering the black mist that enveloped the giant.

At the same time, it sizzled as it burned its skin.

The damage was not severe, but the giant was enraged, jumping around and howling in intense pain, eager to rush forward and fight Wang Chen in a fight to the death.

Yet the Chini Sword reappeared, ruthlessly cutting through its side, spraying blood everywhere.

Forced to halt, the giant swung its weapon wildly, desperately attempting to fend off the circling Chini’s flying sword.

The sword energy contained the power of Wind and Thunder flames, significantly countering its dark forces. Each strike drained a large amount of its dark power, causing far greater harm than the talismans.

Evil Spirits, evil cultivators, and giant creatures all drew their strength from dark forces, corresponding to the cultivator’s spirit, soul, and mana, akin to the life force of ordinary humans.

If the giant had a health bar, it would have lost a significant portion to the Chini Sword!

Realizing the great threat posed by the Chini Sword, the giant had no choice but to abandon the true culprit of its pain, trying to eliminate the flying sword first.

Its mind clearly couldn’t fully match its strength.

This was exactly what Wang Chen had hoped for!

Wang Chen skillfully multitasked, controlling the Chini Sword to entangle the giant, gradually wearing down its dark forces.

The Thunderbolt sword technique displayed its true might at the Perfected Level.

In the midst of the struggle, Wang Chen did not rush to achieve results, such as stabbing his opponent in a vital spot with a sword.

This giant had a massive physique and an incredibly strong life force; even piercing its heart might not guarantee a kill.

If the flying sword were to be trapped within its body and could not finish the enemy, the consequences would be unpredictable.

As the saying goes, "A cautious approach will sail a ship for ten thousand years." Therefore, Wang Chen chose the most prudent battle strategy.

While quickly striking with his sword, he continuously unleashed Exorcism Talismans to hinder and delay the giant’s movements.

With this dual approach, within moments, the giant was covered in blood, with dozens of wounds of various sizes.

Due to the excessive injuries, it could no longer tense its muscles to stop the bleeding.

Otherwise, it would be completely immobilized.

The giant roared repeatedly and suddenly swung its battle axe!

Whoosh!

Wang Chen remained vigilant while controlling the flying sword to attack. Seeing the battle axe flying at him like a whirlwind, he instantly executed Shortening the Earth to dodge.

Clang!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the giant swung another heavy hammer, knocking the flying Chini Sword away.

This was the second time it had struck the flying sword.

However, the giant clearly lacked confidence in defeating Wang Chen. It suddenly stepped back two paces, heavily stomping its feet on the ground.

Boom!

The earth violently shook, as if a massive earthquake had struck.

A large fissure appeared on the ground, connecting directly to the pit from which the giant had emerged earlier.

“Roar~”

The giant stubbornly glanced at the Chini Sword circling in the air and angrily leaped into the crack.

It was trying to escape!

Initially, it could have enjoyed a sumptuous feast, but now it faced a bloody defeat; the giant’s resentment and unwillingness were easy to imagine.

Yet it possessed a certain level of reason, not going against an opponent when it recognized the severe disadvantages.

After this encounter, it could easily return any time!

But unexpectedly for the giant, just as it was about to leap into the pit, a massive net suddenly emerged at an astonishing speed, covering it completely!

Sizzle~

The net’s ropes touched the giant’s skin, immediately producing thin wisps of gray smoke.

“Roar!”

The giant howled in pain, nearly jumping ten feet high. Instinctively, it violently struggled to break free from the massive net’s grasp.

However, its brute force proved ineffective; it could not tear the net and ended up tightly ensnared instead!

Tighter and tighter!

At the same time, the dark forces within the giant were uncontrollably drained, continuously absorbed by the net.

Feeling that things were going badly, the giant took a deep breath, and a dark sheen spread across its body, rapidly hardening into a metallic-like armor.

The speed of the drain on its dark forces immediately reduced.

But before the giant could catch its breath, an immense force suddenly pulled it down to the ground!

The one controlling the massive net was Wang Chen, and at this critical moment, he summoned the unstoppable Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil, securing the fleeing opponent.

If this mighty creature got away, it would mean a wasted effort for Wang Chen tonight.

Such an outcome was not what Wang Chen wanted to see.

He stopped casting talismans and poured all of his mana into the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil, engaging in a tug-of-war with the struggling giant caught in the net.

Although the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil was extraordinary and a bane to Evil Spirits, its destructive power largely depended on Wang Chen’s cultivation level.

The higher Wang Chen’s strength, the greater the net’s destructive power.

This giant was no ordinary foe; its power level was equivalent to a mid-level cultivator from the Purple Palace. If Wang Chen had used the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil from the start, the outcome would have been difficult to predict.

Even now, capturing the severely injured giant was no easy task!

Wang Chen gripped the Exorcising Net tightly, pouring his mana without hesitation, while also activating the Great Strength Technique and the magical energy within the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method, pushing his physical strength to its limits.

Step by step, he pulled the struggling giant back from the entrance of the pit!
