A massive head shot up into the sky, black hair drenched with rain, rapidly swirling and splashing water droplets.
Those furious eyes could never close!
Guo Zhan, as a Blood Replenishment Perfect Warrior, though his vitality had begun to wane due to his advanced age, never dreamed he would die in such a manner!
Originally, when the Bull Demon and he were firing arrows at each other, he thought it would be a showdown between a Mechanical Crossbow and a Divine Archer, a battle that would end only when the last arrow was spent.
But he never expected the Bull Demon to completely disregard Martial Virtue.
That sudden and terrifying Hidden Weapon, even for a Blood Replenishment Perfect Warrior like himself, caused him to lose half his life when hit at close range. The scorching flames burned his entire body, evaporating the rainwater on his skin and directly searing his flesh.
The shockwave from the explosion penetrated his body, impacting his untempered internal organs, causing severe injuries.
Before things could settle, there were the poisoned needles...
The combination of Hidden Weapons and poison was too powerful. Guo Zhan, filled with regret, fell into the Bull Demon's trap and was ultimately beheaded by a Fine Thread Blade!
The cold, lifeless corpse lay on the ground, the severed neck spurting blood, but the blood would eventually run out.
Guo Zhan was dead, truly dead.
A Blood Replenishment Warrior, though strong in vitality, was still mortal. Decapitation meant certain death.
Li Che, his massive frame surrounded by swirling silver threads, cast a complex glance at the fallen Blood Replenishment Perfect Warrior.
His heart was filled with myriad emotions, and he became even more cautious.
In such a chaotic world, even the strongest warriors could meet their end...
In battle, one must think more deeply and guard against all sorts of underhanded and despicable tactics.
Li Che deeply recognized that in the brutal world of warriors...
Only I can use underhanded tactics against you, you cannot use them against me... that is the path to victory.
The rain in the sky seemed to turn cold again, beginning to form frost and snow.
Perhaps the intense heat source in the city had finally ceased its intense release of light and heat.
Raindrops coalesced into snowflakes, drifting down gently.
It was as if the intense, bloody smell of a Blood Replenishment Perfect Warrior was perfectly preserved, almost nauseating.
The corner of the Xu family courtyard fell into a deathly silence, only the sound of snow landing on the ground could be heard.
Three Spirit Child Sect Blood Replenishment experts stopped in their tracks, their eyes wide behind their masks, staring at the dead Guo Zhan.
In just a moment, in the blink of an eye... Guo Zhan was dead?
Too fast!
Too ruthless!
A chill ran through their hearts. They never expected... this hero of Feilei City, the Bull Demon, to be such a vicious killer!
Hidden Weapons, poison coating, ambush... all sorts of despicable means were used!
What kind of hero is this?!
"Guo Zhan is dead too, now we can't explain to Si Mu Bai!"
The three Spirit Child Sect experts' temples bulged, their heads almost exploding.
Zhao Chuanxiong, used as a bait, was completely devoured, and now Guo Zhan, the Divine Archer, was beheaded right in front of them...
Both had Divine Cultivators backing them.
"Attack!"
"Only by killing the Bull Demon!"
The three Spirit Child Sect experts roared, "Guard against his Hidden Weapons, engage him in close combat, be careful of his poison and that strange firebird!"
Guo Zhan's death was not due to a lack of strength, but because he was outmaneuvered by the Bull Demon.
In a fair fight, how could the Bull Demon, a single Blood Replenishment Warrior, stand against three Blood Replenishment Warriors?
Bang!!
The ground, chilled by the dropping temperature, froze and exploded.
The three Spirit Child Sect Blood Replenishment Warriors charged forward in anger, one with a spear, one with a saber, one with a chain sword, their weapons whistling through the air.
Their speed increased, blocking all of the Bull Demon's escape routes, not giving him a chance to hide!
But at this moment, Li Che, who had just killed Guo Zhan, felt the Dao Fruit [Dragon-Elephant Vajra] in his chest pulsating like a heart after intense exercise, beating incessantly!
Each beat was like the sound of a bell and drum exploding in his eardrums!
Before his eyes, the ancient trees on the vast land shook violently, their leaves rustling like waves.
[Dao Fruit: Dragon-Elephant Vajra (lv1, 98%)]
Li Che was stunned.
"Indeed, it's still a bit short... all that talk about breaking through in battle is just something from novels."
He sighed inwardly.
Killing Zhao Chuanxiong and a Blood Replenishment Perfect Warrior still failed to push the [Dragon-Elephant Vajra] to lv2...
It was a pity, but not a big problem.
Li Che had already prepared for failure.
With a thought, another Dao Fruit [Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit] trembled.
It was as if an invisible hand had suddenly gripped it tightly.
Then, with a contraction and a burst, a dense divine energy spewed out, being absorbed by the [Dragon-Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit.
Then, the final push was completed...
Boom—!
Wearing a bamboo hat, Li Che stood quietly beside Guo Zhan's corpse, feeling a thunderous sound in his ears.
It was as if something terrifying had broken free from the constraints of his flesh and blood, shattering the shackles!
A scorching heat suddenly rose from his skin.
[Dao Fruit: Dragon-Elephant Vajra (lv2, 0%)]
Crack, crack, crack...
Actively triggered, it was as if the shackles of his flesh and blood were suddenly snapped, and a scalding, boiling power instantly surged from the nine prominent tendons on his spine, from the bones that were as strong as tiger bones, from the spine that seemed to roar to the sky like an angry dragon... erupting!
His originally 1.9-meter-tall figure... grew even taller!
His muscles twisted like hemp ropes, the elastic suit reaching its limit and bursting, revealing the perfectly sculpted muscles, each movement pulling countless muscle fibers, like an extremely precise machine!
Two meters, two meters and one...
Two meters and two!
The Vajra Second Transformation made Li Che's body grow even taller, boundless strength spreading from his tendons and bones, as if pushing all the processes of skin grinding, tendon opening, and bone tempering to perfection.
A perfectly sculpted body!
Every inch of muscle harbored terrifying dragon-elephant power!
And Li Che felt a surging anger burst from his mind, though furious, it did not affect his thinking, instead, it made him extremely calm.
Behind the baby bull mask, his eyes were filled with anger!
This feeling... divine energy?
"This form... shall be called 'Fierce Eye Vajra'."
Li Che murmured.
From Vajra Transformation to Fierce Eye Vajra...
A transformative leap in the realm of physical cultivation!
Li Che felt that now...
He hated the sky for lacking a ring, he hated the earth for lacking a handle!
The wind and snow were fierce, the cold penetrating.
The three Spirit Child Sect Blood Replenishment Warriors surrounded the Bull Demon, intending to kill him together!
When they saw the Bull Demon standing beside Guo Zhan's corpse, they were secretly delighted, thinking the Bull Demon must be exhausted after killing Guo Zhan.
They wanted to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill this vicious killer!
But when they saw the Bull Demon's body expand, his abdomen, chest, and shoulders bulging, his muscles twisting like coiling dragons, his tendons like angry pythons trembling wildly...
All three showed signs of fear in their eyes!
The oppressive aura was like a tidal wave, scalding and hot, and there was a terrifying force similar to divine anger that shook their minds...
"This is..."
The three Blood Replenishment Warriors were utterly shocked!
And the Bull Demon finally raised his head, the angry eyes behind the cute baby bull mask shining like lanterns in the night, brilliant like the sun!
Like a demon, like a god!
...
...
Zhao Xuan gritted her teeth, braving the wind and snow, stealthily approaching.
The Bull Demon... was her hero. Tonight... she discovered it was a trap set by the Spirit Child Sect to kill the hero Bull Demon!
When the Bull Demon was battling the Spirit Child Sect experts, the surging vitality made it impossible for her to get close.
Now, the vitality had finally subsided.
Her admiration for the hero... made Zhao Xuan unable to resist any longer, and she mustered her courage to approach the battlefield.
Her heart was inexplicably sad.
A four-on-one battle by Blood Replenishment Warriors...
The hero Bull Demon would surely... be brutally killed, right?
She could only come to collect his remains...
Suddenly.
The wind and snow parted, revealing the secluded corner of the Xu family courtyard, where countless bricks and stones were shattered, and spider-web-like cracks spread everywhere.
Zhao Xuan, standing in the snow with her long legs, was stunned, staring dumbfounded at the devastated battlefield.
There was no sign of the Bull Demon's corpse.
Only the decapitated body of Guo Zhan, and...
Three bloody flowers scattered on the snow, stained with shattered flesh!
