Overwhelming

And it was at that moment.

Black finally got a clear look at the face of the young girl’s corpse that had been gnawed on earlier.

It was a completely unfamiliar face.

It was not Kristine!

‘It’s not her.’

A great weight lifted from Black’s heart, and his tense nerves relaxed.

However, in that brief moment of distraction!

Leonard’s figure appeared in front of him as if by teleportation.

His dragon claw, condensed with furious black demonic energy, came roaring towards his head with a sound that tore at the eardrums!

Too fast, too close, it was already unavoidable!

“Thump!”

A solid punch landed squarely on Black’s arms, which he had crossed in front of him to block!

The terrifying force penetrated his body. Black felt as if all his internal organs had been displaced.

His entire body was sent flying backward like a broken kite by this punch.

He crashed through several abandoned buildings in succession and was finally buried under a pile of bricks and rubble.

There was no sound.

Leonard slowly landed in front of the large pile of ruins.

Looking at the motionless pile of rubble, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

“Pathetic.”

He lost interest, turned around, and prepared to leave.

Suddenly!

“Voom!”

An indescribable sacred aura suddenly erupted from deep within the ruins!

Immediately after, a massive sword qi, condensed from pure golden light, cut through the ruins.

Like the first ray of light tearing through the darkness.

With the momentum to split the heavens and the earth, it slashed towards Leonard’s back!

A deadly sense of crisis enveloped Leonard’s entire body.

He turned his head abruptly, his pupils contracting sharply!

The power contained in that golden sword qi was completely different from the long spear before.

It carried a purifying intent that made his very soul tremble!

He didn’t dare to be careless and let out a low roar.

His scaled dragon claw erupted with a thick, dark red energy, and he shot it forward.

His five fingers, like hooks, firmly gripped the flying golden sword qi!

“Wagh!”

However, the moment his palm touched the sword qi.

A sharp pain, like being burned by a branding iron, shot through him!

The dragon claw, which had been barely scratched by the Overlord Spear’s full-powered slashes before.

Was now emitting wisps of black smoke!

Scales shattered, and flesh melted!

His hand was covered in scorched wounds, and his entire arm was almost severed by this sword qi!

“Ahhhhh!”

Leonard let out a painful scream.

He used all his strength, mobilizing all the power in his body.

The dark red energy surged frantically, and only after a long time did he manage to crush the golden sword qi.

The next second, with a boom, the ruins exploded!

Black’s figure slowly rose from within, standing at the highest point of the ruins.

His eyes were coldly fixed on Leonard.

The aura on his body was completely different from before.

It had become more condensed, like a drawn divine sword.

What he held in his hand was no longer the Overlord Spear.

But a longsword condensed a golden starlight.

It was the Demon-Cleaver!

When he saw this golden longsword, Leonard’s eyes stung.

An instinctive tremor came from the depths of his soul!

He didn’t recognize this sword, but his survival instinct frantically warned him.

This sword was extremely dangerous!

The slightest carelessness would result in his soul being scattered!

Black raised his hand and wiped the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth.

Just now, he had been worried about Kristine, and his mind was unsettled, which was why he had fallen behind in the fight.

But now, he had adjusted.

The Demon-Cleaver specialized in countering the undead and evil spirits.

Its demon-slaying effect had a fatal lethality against a remnant soul like Leonard.

“Next.”

Black’s voice was calm. The Demon-Cleaver was pointed diagonally at the ground, a golden halo flowing around it.

“It’s my turn.”

Hearing this, Leonard took a few steps back.

His pair of vertical pupils stared at the Demon-Cleaver with extreme caution.

“ROAR!”

Leonard swung his dragon claw, and black blood dripped onto the ground, corroding small pits.

He arched his body, the vertebrae of his spine protruding, and all the scales on his body stood on end.

“Dragon’s Blood Boil!”

A violent, dark red energy erupted from his body. The flesh at his wounds squirmed frantically and was restored to new in an instant.

He plunged his giant claw into the ground, lifted a stone pier weighing dozens of tons, and threw it at Black!

The stone pier smashed towards Black like a meteorite.

Black’s eyes narrowed, and he slashed horizontally with the Demon-Cleaver.

“Single-Line Slash!”

The golden sword light spread out in a fan shape, and the stone pier was cut into neat pieces in mid-air.

However, Leonard’s figure had already hidden behind the rubble, and his barbed dragon tail whipped towards Black’s face!

“Clang!”

As expected, Black raised his sword to block.

The dragon tail and the sword body collided, sending out dazzling sparks.

Using the recoil, Black leaped back while forming a sword seal with his left hand.

“Splitting Sword!”

The tip of his sword suddenly burst forth with dozens of golden sword lights, enveloping Leonard.

Each sword light that landed on the ground exploded, leaving a scorched black pit.

Leonard couldn’t dodge in time, and a bowl-sized bloody hole was pierced through his right shoulder.

“ROAR!”

The intense pain sent Leonard into a frenzy.

He suddenly opened his bloody maw, and a heart-pounding black light condensed deep in his throat.

“Dragon’s Breath!”

A scorching black beam shot out, destroying everything in its path, completely annihilating it!

Black, unhurriedly, gripped his sword with both hands and plunged the Demon-Cleaver into the ground in front of him.

“Protective Sword Aura! Defend!”

The golden light on the sword body surged, forming the phantom of a giant sword.

With a loud bang!

The black beam and the giant sword collided, and the beam was directly cut in half by the giant sword!

“Impossible!”

Leonard’s expression twisted in disbelief.

This Dragon’s Breath was his full-powered attack!

Black didn’t give him time to think.

He took a step forward, pulled out the Demon-Cleaver, and raised it high above his head.

“Protective Sword Aura! Attack!”

Attack and defense switched!

A ten-meter-wide golden sword aura descended from the sky.

Leonard hastily raised his claw to block, but the moment it made contact, four of his claws were severed.

The sword aura’s momentum did not diminish and directly slammed him into the ground.

The dust settled.

Leonard struggled to climb out of the pit, his body covered in scorched wounds.

His human right arm suddenly twitched and rose, a trace of clarity flashing in his eyes.

“Kill… me…”

But in an instant, his pupils were once again occupied by crimson.

The bone spurs on his back suddenly grew wildly and shot towards Black.

Black’s figure swayed, and he easily dodged the first wave of bone spurs.

The Demon-Cleaver spun in his hand, blocking all the subsequent bone spurs.

He seized the gap in his opponent’s attack and suddenly rushed forward.

“Cross Slash!”

The golden sword light drew a perfect cross in the air.

A deep, cross-shaped wound that exposed the bone immediately appeared on Leonard’s chest.

The black blood was evaporated by the golden sword light before it could even splash out.

“Ahhhhh!”

Leonard rolled on the ground in pain, black smoke rising from his wound.

He frantically beat the ground.

Then he suddenly opened his bloody maw and spat out a black dragon pearl from his throat.

A black energy ball expanded from the dragon pearl and flew out with a whistle!

“Die for me!”

‘Even using his dragon pearl. It seems he’s at the end of his rope.’
