My Master Knows It All

Chapter 1411: Chapter 336_4

Even if struck by the Xue Yin Demon, so what? As long as he can land a blow on the Xue Yin Demon, the one who gains will certainly be him.

Back when Xiang Ziyu defeated opponents at the Golden Core Period Limit, he was even able to endure the Sect Tribulation. Now, merely taking on the Xue Yin Demon’s attacks—what’s the big deal?

However, while he could withstand the Xue Yin Demon’s attacks, the Xue Yin Demon could not withstand his own.

The Xue Yin Demon was evidently aware of Cao Zhen’s tactics, and could only keep retreating, avoiding a direct clash. But the problem was, many times, Cao Zhen wasn’t aiming for a direct clash—he was targeting mutual destruction.

Clearly, Cao Zhen intended to rely on his superior physical strength to wear him down.

“Clang!”

The two sharp swords collided again, producing another crisp sound. After repeated clashes, the entire arm of the Xue Yin Demon that held his sword began to tremble slightly.

Feeling the terrifying force traveling up his arm, a vicious glint flashed through his eyes. Cao Zhen’s mana might not be as strong as his, but Cao Zhen’s physical strength far exceeded his.

He had an immense wealth of combat experience. In the past, during joint missions, he had even killed opponents at the Golden Core Period Limit. But this was his first time encountering someone whose physical body had reached the Golden Core Period Limit. Now he finally realized the terror of a physical body at such a level.

Even though his opponent’s mana was weaker, in combat, he couldn’t see any chance of victory. In fact, the continuous draining of energy only aggravated his injuries.

If this draining continued, he would undoubtedly be the one to lose in the end!

If he lost, there was only one outcome: death!

To win, he would have to devise something unexpected.

He gripped his sharp sword tightly, ensuring it wouldn’t fly out of his hands. Simultaneously, waves of Demonic Qi poured into the sword. In the next moment, the exceptionally slender longsword suddenly softened, transforming into a long, blood-colored whip. The previously sharp sword tip now resembled the head of a venomous snake.

As the Xue Yin Demon flicked his wrist, the blood whip instantly wrapped around Cao Zhen’s longsword. From a distance, it looked like a Flood Dragon had coiled itself around Cao Zhen’s sharp blade. The sword tip, now resembling the ferocious maw of the Flood Dragon, lunged at Cao Zhen, aiming to bite him.

Almost simultaneously, one of the Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills behind Cao Zhen burst into a dazzling brilliance. Layers of Protective Divine Power materialized, surrounding and shielding his body.

At the same time, Cao Zhen fiercely swung the arm holding his sharp sword, pulling it to the side.

Instantly, the Xue Yin Demon felt an overwhelming force strike, causing his body to involuntarily shift to the side.

Cao Zhen completely ignored the blood whip’s venomous maw aiming for him and thrust his sharp sword forcefully toward the Xue Yin Demon.

The venomous fangs on the blood whip, originally targeting Cao Zhen’s head, were redirected and sank toward his shoulder. In the next moment, the sharp teeth collided with Cao Zhen’s Protective Divine Power, causing bursts of divine light to flare up before shattering.

Although the Xue Yin Demon was an existence at the Golden Core Period Limit, and despite Cao Zhen activating ten layers of Protective Divine Power, the Xue Yin Demon’s attack still managed to break through all ten layers, ultimately landing on Cao Zhen’s body. However, the destructive force of the strike diminished significantly.

The fangs bit down fiercely, but they only managed to pierce Cao Zhen’s shoulder, breaking the skin but unable to penetrate deeper.

Almost simultaneously, Cao Zhen’s sharp sword shattered the Xue Yin Demon’s Protective Divine Power and struck heavily at the Xue Yin Demon’s neck.

Blood immediately gushed out from a wound on the Xue Yin Demon’s neck.

Though Cao Zhen’s mana was merely close to the Golden Core Period Limit, his physical strength had already reached the same level. The combined forces allowed his sharp sword to leave a deep wound on the Xue Yin Demon’s neck.

With this successful strike, Cao Zhen’s internal mana surged, and he swiftly swung his longsword again.

In an instant, a hundred Xu Ying-like illusions of Cao Zhen appeared within the Void, leaving the Xue Yin Demon unable to discern which was the real Cao Zhen.

The hundred illusions all struck simultaneously—what seemed like a hundred strikes or perhaps a singular strike fell upon the Xue Yin Demon’s wounded neck once more.

The Heavenly Illusion Sword Technique!

With just this strike, the Xue Yin Demon’s head almost seemed to be severed entirely. His body uncontrollably flew backward, crimson blood gushing wildly from his neck.

The Xue Yin Demon, feeling his power and life force rapidly slipping away, revealed a firm and determined look in his eyes. If he was going to die, he’d make sure Cao Zhen wouldn’t walk away unscathed!

He frantically poured what remained of his energy into his ten Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills behind him.

Self-detonation of the Golden Core!

Even in death, he would die by his own hand. Even in death, he would drag Cao Zhen down with him!

Cao Zhen had fought countless battles and had seen too many people resort to detonating their Golden Core. The moment he sensed the Xue Yin Demon’s intent, he immediately retreated backward. At the same time, the Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills behind him erupted with waves of Divine Skills.

Each time, ten different Divine Skills blasted forth from the Golden Pills behind him. Under the overwhelming bombardment of countless Divine Skills, the Xue Yin Demon was unable to channel his mana completely into his Golden Pills to detonate them.

Taking advantage of this, Cao Zhen swiftly retreated further and further into the distance.

At the same time, the spectators around them, who had been watching the fight, scattered frantically and fled far away.
