Rip!
The sword, carrying visually stunning power, tore through the void, vanishing into it and reappearing before Old Monster Yan in the blink of an eye!
It all happened in an instant. Facing such a massively amplified attack, Old Monster Yan was horrified, quickly forming a black mist shield around himself while desperately counterattacking!
Bang!
With a deafening clash, the terrifying force of Lin Yun’s sword unleashed, causing Old Monster Yan’s face to twist as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body flew backward like a discarded sandbag, arcing uncontrollably through the air!
The devastating shockwave spread, snapping trees in the forest below.
Though they’d fought their way to the skies outside the Wu Family Fortress, the shockwave still reached the fortress, tearing off rooftops, scattering tiles, and cracking walls!
“Wow, that sword-wielding ninth-stage tribulation realm expert is so strong! He’s going to win!”
The thousands of women in the plaza cheered excitedly.
The Wu Family patriarch, seeing Old Monster Yan sent flying and vomiting blood, looked grim.
“Shut up! Anyone who makes a sound will be killed!” the furious patriarch roared at the women.
Terrified, they fell silent.
The patriarch looked back to the sky, visibly tense.
“Brother Yan, you have to win!”
He knew if Old Monster Yan lost, the Wu Family’s forces couldn’t possibly face a ninth-stage tribulation realm cultivator.
In the sky.
Old Monster Yan flew back hundreds of meters before barely stabilizing.
“You… a ninth-stage tribulation realm, how can you be this strong!” he stared at Lin Yun in shock, his face pale from injury.
Lin Yun’s unleashed power clearly exceeded the ninth-stage tribulation realm’s limits.
“You’re not weak either. Your vile cultivation method has boosted you significantly!” Lin Yun said, his gaze narrowing.
A normal calamity realm cultivator would’ve been crushed by that move, but while Old Monster Yan was pushed back, his injuries weren’t severe.
His sinister cultivation method had clearly forged his formidable strength.
If such a method only yielded average results, who would risk practicing such a dangerous, evil technique?
These unorthodox methods carried high risks and costs but offered substantial power boosts.
“So what? You still can’t beat me. Now, let’s end this!” Lin Yun raised his sword again, its power surging.
Though he hadn’t fully defeated Old Monster Yan, he held the upper hand. Continued attacks would secure victory!
In their earlier clashes, Lin Yun had unleashed numerous techniques, and Old Monster Yan had countered with many of his own, likely nearing his limit.
“Kid, you think I’m so easily defeated? If you believe that, you’re gravely mistaken, heh heh!” Old Monster Yan suddenly let out a piercing cackle.
He then thrust open his black umbrella!
As it unfurled, the clear sky darkened instantly, the surroundings plunging into gloom!
From the umbrella surged a terrifying black mist of malevolent aura, condensed from sinister yin energy and karmic sins, so dense it seemed almost solid!
The black aura poured out, enveloping Old Monster Yan.
Wrapped in it, his body grew taller, sprouting black scales. His massive head morphed, facial features twisting, fangs protruding, arms sprouting black lumps, and nails lengthening grotesquely, making him hideously monstrous!
In the sky.
“Good heavens, what is that!”
The thousands of women in the plaza gasped, staring at Old Monster Yan.
“Sister, that ugly monster turned into a beast! He seems even stronger now. Can the sword-wielding tribulation realm expert still win?” the young girl asked worriedly.
The other thousands of women tensed, as the sword-wielding cultivator might be their only hope!
The Wu Family patriarch, seeing this, beamed with joy.
“Haha, I knew Brother Yan had more tricks! Looks like he’s turning the tables!” he said excitedly.
In the battlefield above.
“This…” Lin Yun stared at Old Monster Yan in surprise.
Had he turned into a demon beast?
No! Not quite—he still retained human traits.
More accurately, he’d become a half-human, half-demon monster!
“Kid, my cultivation is a special technique tied to otherworldly demons. With such a powerful method, you think I’d be defeated so easily? Now, you’re the one who dies! Heh heh!” Old Monster Yan cackled.
“Powerful method? Just an unorthodox trick. No matter how strong, it’s still a crooked path that harms others and yourself! You’ve turned yourself into this neither-human-nor-ghost abomination and still laugh? What’s the point of such cultivation?” Lin Yun shook his head.
“You wouldn’t understand. All you need to know is you’re dead today! Forcing me to use this move, you can die without regrets!”
With that, Old Monster Yan swung his black umbrella, charging at Lin Yun with ferocious power.
“Come on, now it’s getting interesting!”
Facing the charging Old Monster Yan, Lin Yun grinned, fearless, only brimming with battle fervor!
His Purple Qiong Sword surged with power as he swung it, unleashing all his techniques into the blade.
Dark Shadow Sword Technique!
Heaven-Shaking Hand!
Bang!
The sword clashed with the black umbrella, producing a terrifying collision. Power poured from both weapons like a flood, the impact shattering the surrounding space!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
They traded blows furiously, each clash soul-shakingly terrifying!
“Haha, how’s that? Feel my power now?” Old Monster Yan laughed while striking.
After transforming into this monstrous form, his strength had surged, reversing the battle’s tide. He now held the upper hand, suppressing Lin Yun.
Considering Lin Yun was already at full power, Old Monster Yan’s ability to gain the advantage showcased his strength!
