Chapter 73: Blood Slaughter: Abyssal Three Blades

"Steel Bone Kong, let me see the might of a Navy Admiral!" Li Yuan declared.

As he spoke, the Seven Star Sword appeared in his hand, enveloped in an eerie green flame. This otherworldly fire had the power to enchant and bewilder, yet Li Yuan wasn't foolish enough to attempt manipulating Steel Bone's will with it. Instead, he concentrated the strange flames onto the blade, integrating them into his strikes.

"Blood Slaughter: Abyssal Three Blades!!!"

The Blood Slaughter Sword Intent merged with the Seven Star Sword, unleashing a terrifying sword aura that magnified the power of his strikes. In an all-out burst, Li Yuan swiftly unleashed three consecutive strikes towards Steel Bone Kong.

As soon as the three strikes were released, they merged into a single, even more formidable slash, hurtling towards Steel Bone Kong. This massive slash carried with it the wails of demons from the abyss, disturbing one's mind and focus.

"Hmph, break it!!" Steel Bone Kong snorted, clenching his fist and striking forward to shatter the oncoming 500-meter slash.

"Crack!!!"

However, before Steel Bone Kong could reach it, the gigantic slash that had fused together suddenly split, reverting back into three separate strikes. Two of these veered off their original path, curving around Steel Bone Kong and heading towards the three warships behind him in an arc.

"Not good!!!"

Steel Bone Kong was caught off guard by this unexpected change in Li Yuan's strike. As a Navy Admiral, he had faced numerous swordsmen and great swordsmen, but he had never encountered slashes that could curve like this! When he moved to intercept the other two strikes, the central one was already upon him.

Facing a Great Swordsman's strike, even Steel Bone Kong had to take it seriously, as the destructive power was something even he couldn't ignore.

"Crack!!!"

With his fist imbued with powerful Armament Haki, Steel Bone Kong shattered the incoming slash. However, as he dealt with the strike in front of him, the other two massive 500-meter slashes had already reached the three warships behind him.

"Boom!!!!"

The two slashes struck the warships, effortlessly slicing them in half. The explosive sword energy not only cleaved the ships but also decimated the Navy soldiers aboard, reducing the vessels to ruins. With no Vice Admiral-level experts aboard, even Rear Admirals capable of Moon Step were heavily injured and fell into the sea amidst the raging sword energy storm.

The three warships were filled with Navy elites, over two thousand in total. Steel Bone Kong had brought them along to gain experience, but unexpectedly, nearly all of these elite soldiers perished at Li Yuan's hands. By the time Steel Bone Kong turned to aid his men, it was too late; they were almost all slain by Li Yuan's sword.

Even those who survived, without the protection of their warships, would be lost to the vast sea.

"Li Yuan!!!" Steel Bone Kong roared, his full power erupting as he charged towards Li Yuan in the sky. No matter what, he had to capture Li Yuan and answer for the marines he brought.

"Hahaha, Steel Bone Kong, if you dare to hunt me, you must pay the price. These three warships are just a greeting gift. In the future, I'll kill tens of thousands of marines for fun!"

"Life Return: Limb Extreme Strengthening!!"

Facing the enraged Steel Bone Kong, Li Yuan instantly pushed his Life Return technique to its limits, enhancing his limbs. His muscles swelled, doubling his limb strength in an instant. The cost, however, was blood seeping from his pores. If this state lasted over 5 seconds, his limbs would be crippled, requiring at least half a month to recover.

"Chasing the Moon!!"

Li Yuan descended from the sky, using his Moon Step for an extreme dive.

"Infinite Cross Evil Light Slash!!"

The sword intent on the Seven Star Sword switched to Infinite Sword Intent, enveloping the blade. With a swing, Li Yuan unleashed two terrifying 500-meter slashes forming a cross, aiming at Steel Bone Kong below with incredible speed.

Steel Bone Kong, facing the massive slashes, had no intention of dodging. All he wanted now was to smash everything!

"Bone Fist: Meteor!"

Steel Bone Kong's punch struck the center of the cross slash, the overwhelming Armament Haki piercing through, shattering the cross slash from the inside. However, even after shattering the slashes, the powerful impact still caused Steel Bone Kong to fall from the sky.

He managed to stabilize himself using Moon Step just before hitting the ocean.

"How is it possible for his strength to grow so much in such a short time?!"

Even though Steel Bone Kong shattered Li Yuan's slash, he couldn't believe it. According to his information, Li Yuan was only sixteen years old, yet he had become a Great Swordsman with such power. Li Yuan was now only a step below the likes of Sengoku and Garp, who were over thirty years old. At sixteen, Li Yuan's potential was terrifying.

"I must capture him! We can't let him grow any further!!"

At this moment, Steel Bone Kong was deeply fearful of Li Yuan's talent. If allowed to grow, Li Yuan could become another Rocks, possibly even more terrifying due to his youth and potential.

"Infinite Cross Evil Light Slash!!!"

But within the span of a thought, Li Yuan descended again, faster than before. He unleashed another cross slash with the Seven Star Sword, the powerful impact causing the sea below to sink dozens of meters even before the slash landed.

This time, the slash was even stronger and faster!

"Bone Fist: Star Shatter!"

Steel Bone Kong responded as before, his punch destroying the slash that could pulverize mountains. However, the impact still sent Steel Bone Kong plunging hundreds of meters into the ocean.
