51: Picked up a big leak

High in the sky, the intense battle between Xia Ruofeng and the Bull-horned Giant (Bull Demon King) continued, an evenly matched struggle!

"Fa Ning! Zeng Jie! Come quickly and help me!" Xia Ruofeng's desperate roar instantly startled the two Divine Sea Realm experts who had just lost their opponents.

"Ziji! Xue Lu! How dare you betray this King!" The Bull Demon King, deep in battle, suddenly realized what was happening, turning his head to look at the two black dots rapidly disappearing on the horizon, so enraged that thick white smoke billowed from his nostrils!

Dark red patterns beneath his black scales suddenly lit up, like scorching magma surging beneath his skin!

However, before his furious accusation could escape his lips, Xia Ruofeng seized this fleeting opening!

His long spear, like a venomous Dragon emerging from its lair, had spiraling Qi energy wrapped around its tip, thrusting directly at the Devil Bull's glabella!

"Clang—!"

The Bull Demon King snarled and met it with a punch! Scales and the silver spear tip collided violently, erupting in three feet of sparks, the ear-splitting clang of metal reverberating across the land! This time, Xia Ruofeng did not retreat but advanced, holding his spear firmly in place, giving his opponent no chance to escape!

At the same time, Zeng Jie's serrated great saber, imbued with the power to split mountains and cleave peaks, descended from the sky!

The Bull Demon King crossed his arms to block, and his demonic power burst forth!

"Clang—!"

An ear-splitting crack exploded! The massive black figure was violently struck down by immense force, crashing to the earth like a meteor!

"Good opportunity! Azure Sky Wind Strike!" Xia Ruofeng's roar shook the heavens, and his spear thrust out like a Dragon! Azure true essence condensed into a massive drill-shaped Qi vortex, tearing through the air with a sharp whistle, chasing after the falling figure!

"Roar! Human Race ants, do not be so arrogant!" A thunderous bovine roar erupted from the dust! His demonic body rapidly expanded against the wind! The pervasive dust could no longer obscure his mountain-like form!

A giant fist, the size of a carriage, engulfed in dust and monstrous demonic power, slammed violently into the pursuing drill-spear light!

"Boom—!"

Amidst the deafening roar, the true essence drill condensed by Xia Ruofeng shattered after only a single breath!

The long spear suddenly bent, and the terrifying recoil caused Xia Ruofeng's tiger's mouth to split, sending him flying backward like a kite with a broken string, drawing a hundred-meter-long bloody line in the air!

"Pfft!" Xia Ruofeng couldn't suppress it, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes filled with shock, "How is this possible?!"

"It's demonization!" Zeng Jie's figure flickered, catching the flying Xia Ruofeng, his expression extremely solemn.

"Not just demonization! But also the Bull Demon Race's gigantification talent! He has completely lost his mind, becoming a Vicious Beast that only knows slaughter!" Fa Ning held his hands out, a terrifying fireball with a diameter of ten zhang burning fiercely in his palms, his voice incredibly heavy, "This madman is going all out!"

Before he finished speaking, Fa Ning waved a hand, and the giant fireball, like a miniature sun, slammed into the Bull Demon King amidst the dust!

However, the Bull Demon King, whose eyes glowed with terrifying red light, did not dodge, his burning giant fist bravely meeting the fireball!

"Boom—!!!"

A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky! A colossal figure, bathed in fire, as if crawling out of a fiery mountain, actually withstood the impact of the explosion, charging straight into the sky from the rolling smoke!

"Here he comes!" Xia Ruofeng's pupils contracted sharply, and he and Zeng Jie instantly separated.

He suppressed his injuries, his long spear dancing like a wheel, and a hundred-meter-long azure true essence giant spear condensed out of thin air, stabbing down with mountain-splitting force towards the fiery figure!

At the same time, Zeng Jie, with all his might, unleashed a hundred-zhang bloody saber light that tore through the sky, aiming directly at the Bull Demon King's waist and abdomen!

"Boom boom—!"

Two earth-shattering explosions occurred almost simultaneously!

As the flames and dust slowly dissipated, the Bull Demon King's left shoulder was a bloody mess, a large chunk of flesh blasted away, and the scales on his waist were all shattered, a several-meter-long grotesque wound slowly wriggling and healing, his originally black bull horns now dark red!

But his charging speed did not diminish in the slightest, his burning giant body carrying an aura of destruction, rushing towards Xia Ruofeng, whose old strength was gone and new strength had not yet arrived!

Xia Ruofeng's pupils contracted sharply! The heavily injured Devil King became even more frenzied, his fists colliding, unleashing a visible ring-shaped shockwave that swept in all directions!

"Quickly retreat!" Fa Ning's spell changed rapidly, and the scattered flames in the air instantly condensed into eighteen crimson-gold chains, coiling around the Bull Demon's legs!

Zeng Jie had just unleashed a powerful move, his figure unstable, when a shockwave slammed into him! He could only swing his saber to meet it, the blade colliding with the shockwave and producing a large shower of dark purple sparks, his tiger's mouth instantly splitting open, bleeding profusely!

Xia Ruofeng's spear tip vibrated rapidly, nine azure afterimages breaking through the shockwave that had reached his eyes, his figure plummeting like a swimming Dragon, the spear tip transforming into countless cold stars, swiftly piercing the Devil Bull's vital points!

"Ding ding ding ding—!" The clang of metal rang out continuously! The spear tip only left faint white marks on the scales!

The next moment, a burning giant palm, carrying a tearing hurricane, swept across! Xia Ruofeng swung his spear to block, but the Bull Demon King grabbed the spear shaft with a backhand, swinging it wildly to smash it far away!

"Boom—!"

A hill three hundred zhang away was cleanly cut in half by the air current generated when Xia Ruofeng crashed into it! Crushed rocks and dust shot into the sky!

"Heaven Burning Prison!" Fa Ning's eyes were about to burst, and he bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of vital blood! The fire elemental energy between heaven and earth violently surged!

Nine crimson-gold flame giant Dragons roared out from the Void Realm, intertwining and coiling, instantly forming a Heaven Burning fire prison, trapping the Bull Demon King firmly in the center!

Zeng Jie seized this critical opportunity, leaping directly above the Bull's head, his serrated great saber erupting with dazzling bloody light: "Mountain Severance!"

The saber's edge, carrying the power to cleave mountains, fiercely struck the giant horn on the Bull Demon King's head!

Just as the saber's edge cut into the bull's horn, the red light in the Bull Demon King's eyes flashed violently! The demonic power, thick as blood, actually surged up the saber like a living entity! Zeng Jie's right arm sleeve instantly turned to ash, his skin scorched black!

"Pfft!"

Xia Ruofeng, covered in blood, had already charged back fiercely! Seeing Zeng Jie in danger, he forcefully gathered his last true essence, throwing his long spear like a javelin with all his might! The spear body, carrying a tearing hurricane, precisely and incomparably pierced the Bull Demon King's already heavily injured left shoulder!

"Crack!"

The sound of bones shattering was clearly audible! The already damaged left shoulder was actually forcefully broken by this blow!

"Moo aow—!!!"

The Bull Demon King let out a heart-wrenching roar of pain! The strange demonic patterns appearing on his body suddenly burst apart!

Boom—!!!

Fa Ning's Nine Dragon Fire Prison, fueled by his vital blood, exploded in response! The violent flame fragments, like countless sharp blades, blasted the three closest people away!

Xia Ruofeng's chest armor was dented, and he slammed hard into the rock wall behind him! Fa Ning's spell was forcibly broken, and he suffered a violent backlash, spitting out blood profusely! Zeng Jie was the most miserable, dragging a scorched, smoking left leg, kneeling on one knee, almost unable to stand!

And the Bull Demon King, though covered in blood and bearing grotesque wounds, his malevolent aura grew even stronger!

His sole remaining right fist was raised high, and a terrifying energy orb, radiating an aura of destruction, like a miniature black sun, was rapidly condensing!

The shadow of death enveloped the three of them! At this critical moment, a look of grim determination flashed in their eyes simultaneously! They all, by unspoken agreement, bit down on the life-saving Medicinal Pill hidden between their teeth!

"Kill!" Xia Ruofeng waved his hand, and his long spear from afar shot back, his body moving with the spear, man and spear becoming one, transforming into a desperate rainbow light, stabbing directly at the Bull Demon's heart!

Zeng Jie roared, dragging his saber up, the saber light turning into a blur of afterimages, firmly sealing all of the Bull Demon's escape routes!

Fa Ning dipped his finger in blood, rapidly drawing talismans in the Void Realm, triggering celestial phenomena, and a torrential rain of meteor fireballs crashed down!

Boom boom boom boom—!!!!

Heaven and earth suddenly fell silent amidst an unimaginable, terrifying collision! Dazzling light swallowed everything!

As the world-destroying light and dust slowly dissipated—

The Bull Demon King's massive body knelt in a giant crater.

Half a blood-stained spear tip was deeply embedded in his chest, his only remaining bull horn was mostly broken, and his breath was faint.

Xia Ruofeng's right arm was twisted and deformed, and he landed, gasping for breath, propped up by his long spear, almost unable to stand.

Zeng Jie held his saber with one hand, barely landing on the city wall, his figure swaying precariously.

Fa Ning bled from all seven orifices, slowly drifting down from the air, his face as pale as gold leaf.

The three men and one demon, their auras had all plummeted to freezing point, heavily injured and on the verge of death!

Just then—

A figure leaped out from Yongning City, sticky black blood continuously dripping from the dark red dragon blood saber in his hand.

It was Xiao Zhuo!

His cold gaze swept over the massive kneeling Bull Demon in the crater outside the city, his killing intent thick and palpable!

The Yao Mo below the city who had not yet retreated had all been slain by him!

And at this moment, his true essence had actually quietly recovered to about sixty percent! The consumption from fighting ordinary Yao Mo was negligible, not even catching up to his true essence recovery speed.

Previously, he had not intervened in the Divine Sea Realm battle simply because his true essence was insufficient.

But he never expected that this Bull Demon King could push three Divine Sea Realm experts to such a desperate situation!

Just then, the Bull Demon in the deep pit moved!

Its massive body slowly stood up! At the broken left shoulder, black flesh frantically wriggled, attempting to regenerate!

"After demonization, though he lost his mind, his demonic power surged... and this still couldn't kill him?!" Fa Ning strenuously wiped the blood from his face, revealing a face as pale as paper, a trace of desperate resolve flashing in his eyes, as if he was about to use his last trump card.

However, before he could act—

An azure light, like lightning, streaked past!

A translucent Domain light curtain instantly unfurled, enveloping the just-standing Bull Demon King!

Within the Domain, an extremely dazzling star saber light, entwined with destructive lightning, flashed and disappeared!

Time seemed to freeze for an instant.

The Domain dissipated.

The Bull Demon King's giant head, like a small mountain, slowly slid off his neck.

At the same time, countless crisscrossing, gruesome saber marks suddenly erupted on his massive demonic body!

The next moment—

Boom!!!

The hundred-meter-tall Bull Demon's Physical Body, like building blocks being pushed over, suddenly disintegrated and collapsed!

A black-clad figure, holding a dark red long saber, stood quietly beneath the collapsed demonic body, appearing incredibly abrupt, yet incredibly shocking!

At this moment—

Xia Ruofeng, Zeng Jie, and Fa Ning, the three Divine Sea Realm experts who had fought bloody battles and were on the verge of death, were all dumbfounded!

The terrifying Devil King whom they had risked their lives and exhausted all their means to kill... was actually... so casually... killed in one saber strike... by this person?!

[Killed one King-level Bull Demon, gained 5975 Attribute Points.]

Xiao Zhuo looked at the prompt message appearing in his mind, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curving upwards.

It feels good to pick up a bargain once, and it feels good to keep picking up bargains!

If he could always get such huge bargains, wouldn't breaking through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm be a piece of cake?

With a casual wave of his hand, he placed a primordial elixir the size of a washbasin, radiating immense energy, into his storage ring.

Having done all this, Xiao Zhuo turned around in a pleasant mood—

The smile on his face instantly froze!

He saw three pairs of bloodshot eyes, filled with extreme astonishment, disbelief, and a hint of... complex, unreadable emotions, staring fixedly, unblinkingly, at him!

Even though Xiao Zhuo considered his face thick enough to withstand saber chops and axe hacks, at this moment, he felt a rush of heat "whoosh" up his cheeks, uncharacteristically feeling a bit hot.

Oops! He was so caught up in the satisfaction that he forgot there were three victims and main characters watching from the side!
