Chapter 290: Everyone Must Die!

As long as he killed all the Eight-Star Martial Gods, he would gain a vast amount of energy and blood essence. Then, he might even have a chance to kill Qian Bailian!

With that thought, Sima Qi's madness intensified.

Whoosh—

In an instant, he flashed toward the sky. In his current state, his speed was unmatched.

In the blink of an eye, he was already in the air.

"Be careful!" Qian Bailian shouted, his voice filled with urgency.

But just as his words fell, the demon claw once again attacked, its speed far too fast for Qian Bailian to fully counter. He had no choice but to keep dodging as the claw tore through the ground, creating massive craters with each strike.

Boom! Boom!

The ground shook violently from the impact of the demon claw's attacks.

"You're courting death!" Qian Zhenmo roared as he saw Sima Qi, sword in hand, charging at them from the sky.

His trident flared with fire energy, surging toward Sima Qi.

"Hmph!" Sima Qi sneered, his face twisted in a vicious grin. With a powerful swing of his sword, he met Qian Zhenmo's flaming trident head-on, producing a deafening explosion.

Both men were forced back by the collision.

"Damn it!" Sima Qi felt his sword hand go numb from the shock.

Qian Zhenmo fared even worse—his entire arm went numb, and blood seeped from his hand gripping the trident.

Sima Qi's power had grown even more terrifying!

"Die!!!"

At that moment, the other Martial Gods from the Demon Suppression Sect began surrounding Sima Qi, preparing to attack from all sides.

Sima Qi, seeing himself encircled, burst out laughing. He swung his sword, unleashing bolts of lightning.

Crackle! Boom!

The powerful currents of electricity shot toward the attacking Martial Gods. They, unlike Ye Fan's sword, lacked the [Source Severing] ability. Forced to summon protective energy barriers, they tried to block the incoming lightning.

The clash of lightning against their shields echoed with thunderous booms.

Seizing the opportunity, Sima Qi rushed at one of the Eight-Star Martial Gods with his sword. The razor-sharp blade effortlessly sliced through the energy barrier, splitting it in two.

With the barrier shattered, the lightning struck the Martial God's body.

"Argh..." The Martial God screamed in agony from the searing pain.

Whoosh—

Sima Qi, face contorted with fury, swung his sword again!

Clang!

The Eight-Star Martial God desperately blocked with his weapon, but the force of the collision sent his sword flying. In the next instant, a flash of cold steel sliced through his body, cutting him in half.

Before his soul could escape, Sima Qi struck once more, obliterating it.

[Killed Eight-Star Martial God, gained 800,000,000 evolution points]

[Absorbed Eight-Star Martial God's blood essence, gained 8,000 energy points]

[Absorbed Eight-Star Martial God's blood essence, gained 8,000 energy points]

The sword continued to absorb the Eight-Star Martial God's pale gold blood, and the powerful energy released from his death flowed into the blade. Most of the blood essence and energy were then transmitted back into Sima Qi's body.

With the blood and energy surging through him, Sima Qi felt ecstatic. His previously consumed energy was fully restored, and his blood essence replenished.

"Sima Qi!!!" Qian Zhenmo bellowed, furious as he witnessed another of his sect members fall to Sima Qi's blade.

A torrent of energy erupted from Qian Zhenmo, swirling into a terrifying combination of water and fire. The two opposing forces spiraled together, forming an even more fearsome attack that surged toward Sima Qi.

"I told you, no matter what kind of energy it is, it's useless against me!!!"

Sima Qi's crazed laughter echoed as he saw Qian Zhenmo's powerful energy blast coming at him.

It didn't matter to him how strong the energy was—his sword could sever any force!

Whoosh—

As the energy blast neared, Sima Qi swung his sword through the air, slicing the attack in two!

The surrounding Eight-Star Martial Gods seized this moment to strike, thrusting their swords toward Sima Qi.

His eyes widened as he realized their strategy. He tried to evade, but it was too late!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Their swords pierced through Sima Qi's body.

"Die!!!" They roared, intent on tearing him apart.

"No one can kill me!!!" Sima Qi bellowed in fury.

He instantly consumed the blood essence he had just absorbed, unleashing an overwhelming surge of energy. The Eight-Star Martial Gods were blown away by the force, their swords torn from Sima Qi's body and sent flying.

"Everyone must die!!!" Sima Qi roared.

In the next moment, the remaining swords lodged in his body were expelled. With a flash of his sword, Sima Qi scanned the Martial Gods who had been thrown back.

His face twisted into a savage grin as he vanished from sight.

[Phantom Dance]!

In an instant, thousands of Sima Qi's images filled the sky. The Eight-Star Martial Gods barely had time to react before their bodies were slashed into pieces, streams of pale gold blood splattering through the air.

Their souls attempted to flee their shattered bodies.

"Hahaha, I told you, all of you will die!!!" Sima Qi's voice echoed as he reappeared, laughing maniacally.

With a horizontal sweep of his sword, he sent a barrage of sword energy hurtling toward their escaping souls.
