Liu Shayangâs broken arm suddenly stopped bleeding. It was emitting a terrible force of suction.
âBloody Demon!â
The dripping blood stopped halfway to the ground. A second later, the suction brought all of it back into the limb. It started to gather towards the wound and formed an artificial limb rapidly, which was connected to the broken arm immediately.
It was a bloody claw. Its five fingers were sharp talons.
âHorrid!â
Liu Shayang didnât even look like a human by then. He shocked everyone watching.
Then he grasped a knife with his left hand.
Its handle and tip were dark blue. The blade was the same color as blood. Injected with his energy, a red light was swimming around him, like a fierce flame.
âGo to hell!â
Liu Shayang attacked again, no longer holding back. In Cloud Seven of the Reaching Heaven State, his knife method couldnât be deemed the best. That was why he combined it with a secret method. The knife was approaching Jiang Chen as if it was a flood or a fierce animal.
The bloody claw connected to his right arm wasnât only horrifying. As the sharp claws streaked across the air, wind whistled down.
As soon as he struck, a bloody moon appeared in the air out of nowhere.
Jiang Chen moved his body and dodged the fierce attack.
âHeart Smashing Claw!â Liu Shayang smiled cunningly, intending to scratch Jiang Chenâs chest with the bloody claw.
Jiang Chen put the black knife in front of himself horizontally. When the blade met the claw, it gave a metallic clang. The sharpness of the knife couldnât suppress the claw. Clinging closely to the blade, it scratched down.
With sparks from the friction, three scratches appeared on Jiang Chenâs right wrist.
âDie!â
The success made Liu Shayang even angrier. He used the knife and the claw at the same time. They were aggressive enough to kill.
Jiang Chen kept stepping back. He brandished his knife to defend himself. Suddenly, he turned pale. He felt numb in the right hand and couldnât exert any force.
He looked down and found the scratches were smoking black.
âBloody Demon Kills Divine Immortal!â
Liu Shayang exerted his killing movement immediately. The knife and the claw seemed over ten times slower than before.
âWhatâs going on?â
âTheyâre not moving more slowly. Itâs because theyâre so fast that they seem slower to us!â
âHiss! How fast could that be!â
Jiang Chen, as the target of the attack, knew the answer. Even he, who had mastered the great doctrine of the creation of wind couldnât follow them.
The knife seemed to have infinite layers.
âEight Extraordinary Meridians all developed, wind and thunder to receive orders!
âArmor of thunder!â
He had to switch on his protective energy jar to protect himself from the fatal attack. At the same time, he retreated. If he stayed too close to them, he wouldnât be able to see them clearly.
âHere it comes. Now, I believe youâre ranked tenth on the Slay Demon List,â said Jiang Chen.
âRidiculous. You think I could only be ranked tenth on the list? Thereâs no way youâll survive. Cut the crap,â Liu Shayang said coldly.
Among Reaching Heaven States, those that switched on their protective energy jars first would normally lose, since it meant they couldnât handle their rivalâs attacks anymore, especially if their rivals also had protective energy jars that hadnât been put into use yet.
Besides, Jiang Chenâs right hand had been scratched by the bloody claw, causing him to lose feeling in it for the moment. Although it didnât seem like a big problem, he wasnât able to exert the power of his martial arts techniques.
âHeâs forcing himself.â
âLiu Shayang has been holding back a lot.â
âThis fight is horrible. Looks like the Hero Palace will rank him higher on the Slay Demon List.â
Although Jiang Chen had been doing great, he wasnât a match for Liu Shayang when the latter showed his true colors.
He could die in the next attack.
âIâll let you experience how desperation feels before you die!â
Liu Shayang regulated his breathing and launched another attack. Before he could get any closer, the knife and the claw were flying towards Jiang Chen.
âSo this is your limit. Itâs my turn now!â Jiang Chenâs look turned colder. The energy he emitted was changing.
With the silvery chime of a sword, Jiang Chen changed from a knife wielder to a swordsman.
Under Liu Shayangâs fierce attack, the Red Cloud Sword was transforming rapidly in his left hand. It warded off all of Liu Shayangâs fatal attacks.
âWhat?!â
As a left-handed man, Liu Shayang experienced the same shock others had experienced when seeing him using a knife. Jiang Chen was extremely calm with light showing deep in his black eyes. Liu Shayang felt like he could be pierced through by the glare at anytime.
âEven though youâre a swordsman, nothing will change. Nothing could defeat my velocity!â
Liu Shayangâs knife and claw didnât rely on martial arts techniques. They formed a combination of sharpness and quickness. These two could tear any hard thing apart.
But Jiang Chen wasnât affected, as if he had anticipated Liu Shayangâs attack.
âYouâve mastered being an integral part of nature? How is that possible?â
Liu Shayang wasnât a dumb*ss. He understood the reality immediately. Not until then did he start to feel he was in danger.
His attack was quick and fierce. Many martial arts geniuses had died under his mad attacks without knowing how.
Only quickness was invincible. He had exerted this principle to the utmost.
However, in the face of a martial arts practitioner who had mastered being an integral part of nature and merged it with martial arts techniques to achieve the creation of nature and martial arts techniques, he had little room to play.
âYou only noticed the being an integral part of nature?â Jiang Chen laughed at him. He thrust the Red Cloud Sword forward. It not only warded off the attack, but launched an attack from a defensive position.
âHow dreadful his swordsmanship is!â
Liu Shayang sensed an infinite energy from the spirit of Jiang Chenâs sword. Along with the wonderful changes, it was impossible for him to defend himself.
âYouâve also mastered the doctrine of sword!â
Liu Shayang knew that only those who had mastered the doctrine of sword could master swordsmanship to this extent.
âThe Rainbow Sword Method: Three Movements in One!â
Jiang Chen didnât respond to him. Thunder and wind gathered onto the Red Cloud Sword.
âHoly bloody armor!â
Liu Shayang was given a good scare. He switched on his protective energy jar immediately. Armor of red light appeared on his body to protect him, but the Red Cloud Sword tore the protective energy jar open immediately and left a deep wound on Liu Shayangâs chest.
âDamn it!â
Liu Shayang had thought his attack was the best at cracking defenses, but Jiang Chenâs sword attack was even more horrid.
âAnything to say before you die?â Jiang Chen said coldly, slowing his sword down.
âThis isnât a competition. I canât kill you, but I can run.â
Before his voice could fade away, Liu Shayang flew into the air decisively, intending to fly out of the city.
He has defeated me in martial arts techniques, but itâs state that matters when it comes to fleeing and chasing!
Liu Shayang was very confident. He arrived at the city walls in an instant, but he suddenly froze up, looking forward as if he couldnât believe what he was seeing.
Jiang Chen was standing there, his eyes extremely cold. His look was like a sharp sword that could pierce through Liu Shayangâs heart.
âAre you really a Cloud-Three Reaching Heaven State?!â Liu Shayang roared in anger.
âCouldnât be more real.â
âSo how can you fly faster than me?â
It was all right if he wasnât a match for Jiang Chen in a fight, but he couldnât even outrun the latter, yet Jiang Chen was four clouds weaker than him. Liu Shayang couldnât figure out why.
âBecause Iâm a genius,â Jiang Chen smiled at him scornfully. He raised the Red Cloud Sword again.
âThe Sword Method of Ksana: The First Movement!â
He stopped speaking and exerted the killing movement by throwing himself over like a comet.
âWhat?!â
Liu Shayang had thought he could at least still be proud of his speed, but only then did he realize how naive he had been.
Several Jiang Chens appeared around him, each attacking him at the same time. They took his life away in only a second.
