Chapter 216: [Demon's Claw]
🕑 Added 2024-10-13 10:15:59 +0000 UTC"He's coming!"
The few Martial Kings guarding Ye Liechang immediately drew their blades.
Clang—
But in that instant, as the cold glint of a sword flashed by, their weapons were severed cleanly in half. The shockwave from the blow sent their bodies flying.
These Martial Kings were no match for Bai Li Changqing’s assault!
“Damn it!”
Ye Zhang turned swiftly, his face contorting in fury as he saw Bai Li Changqing charging toward Ye Liechang again.
Ignoring everyone else, Bai Li Changqing focused solely on his target—Ye Liechang.
There was no need to kill the others. His mission would be complete as long as Ye Liechang was dead.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—
In Bai Li Changqing’s hand, Jiemie moved swiftly, thrusting out repeatedly. The speed of his attacks was terrifying, so fast that Ye Liechang struggled to keep up.
Clang, clang, clang—
Ye Liechang, now desperate, could do nothing but frantically block with his saber.
Boom—
But his efforts were in vain. His saber shattered after only a few parries, leaving him spitting blood as the force overwhelmed him.
Bai Li Changqing’s sword moved to strike again, merciless and swift.
In a panic, Ye Liechang summoned all his remaining energy to form a shield of force before him, but with one strike of Jiemie, the shield was sliced in two.
Ye Liechang’s pupils shrank in horror. Reflexively, he raised his right arm to block, but Jiemie cut through it effortlessly.
Blood splattered, and his arm was severed in an instant.
"Ah!"
A blood-curdling scream tore from his throat as he staggered backward.
“You’re dead!!!”
Just as it seemed over, everything happened in a blink. Ye Zhang leapt forward from behind.
[Ninth-Rank Martial Art: Skyfall Strike]!
With a mighty leap, Ye Zhang brought his flaming spear crashing down like a meteor of fire aimed at Bai Li Changqing.
Feeling the heat and sensing the imminent danger from behind, Bai Li Changqing spun around, readying Jiemie to block. There was no time to evade!
Boom—
The fierce power of the attack slammed into Bai Li Changqing, driving his feet deep into the ground.
Roar!!!
He let out a low growl, summoning his own energy to counter Ye Zhang’s fierce attack.
But it wasn’t enough!
Bai Li Changqing’s expression darkened. He didn’t want to rely on Jiemie’s ability, as drawing too much power from the sword was incredibly risky. But at this moment, he had no other choice.
[Blood Frenzy]!
As soon as he activated the ability, consuming a portion of his own blood essence, a surge of immense power from Jiemie flooded into him.
Boom—
In that instant, the balance of power shifted. Bai Li Changqing began to overpower Ye Zhang!
The force sent Ye Zhang flying, crashing heavily to the ground. The terrifying flames that had surrounded his body extinguished in an instant. His spear, too, was covered in cracks and shattered soon after.
“Kill!”
The other Martial Kings and guards finally reacted, rushing toward Bai Li Changqing to attack.
Ye Liechang had retreated, cradling his severed arm, his face twisted in agony and fury.
"Kill him! I want him dead! I want him torn to pieces!"
He screamed hysterically.
[Phantom Dance]!
Bai Li Changqing looked at the advancing attackers and let out a cold laugh. With a thought, his body split into hundreds of shadowy figures.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—
Countless sword strikes shimmered in the air. The approaching warriors, as if caught in a meat grinder, were cut to pieces.

……
The system notifications flooded in one after another.
In just a brief moment, Bai Li Changqing had wiped out a large number of the warriors. The Martial Kings, too, had either lost limbs or fallen in battle.
"I didn’t plan to kill any of you," Bai Li Changqing said coldly.
With a swift motion, he raised his sword and swung. Waves of terrifying sword energy swept out, killing all the remaining Martial Kings on the spot.

[New skill unlocked. Spend Evolution Points to learn?]
At first, Ye Fan was used to the system’s constant stream of notifications. But the final message caught him off guard.
A new skill!?
He glanced over and quickly saw the newly unlocked skill.
[Demon’s Claw]: Summon a demonic claw from another dimension to deal devastating damage to enemies.
Cost to learn: 1,000,000 Evolution Points
"Only a million points? Of course, I’ll learn it!" Ye Fan exclaimed, selecting the option to learn the skill immediately.
As a million points were deducted, the new skill appeared in his status panel.
“This skill seems to be exclusive to the dark attribute sword, with no corresponding light attribute version.”
Ye Fan was slightly disappointed. Normally, his skills could be adapted to either the dark or light version of his sword, essentially doubling his abilities.
Still, it wasn’t a bad deal overall!
"The mission is nearly complete," Bai Li Changqing muttered, his gaze fixed on Ye Liechang, who was desperately trying to flee to the back of the room.
