Chapter 362: Chapter 326: Heaven’s Execution, Demon Annihilation
Clang clang clang~~
The clash of claws and Thunder Saber was as dense as a torrential rain, sparks erupted between the two, scattering on the scorched rocks.
Qin Tian blocked horizontally with his saber, being forced to retreat half a step by the claw strike infused with Demonic Qi from the Silver-winged Demon, his foot plowing a shallow groove on the ground.
Taking advantage of the moment when his opponent’s old strength was exhausted and new strength hadn’t yet arisen, he flicked his wrist slightly, an invisible Hunting Mark silently landing on the Silver-winged Demon.
In an instant, Qin Tian felt a lightness engulf him, as if he had melded into the ambient breeze, a peculiar bloodline power surging through his limbs.
[Top Hunter] — When pursuing prey, the hunter’s bloodline within is activated, greatly concealing his aura, increasing speed by 70%, and attack power by 50%; if the prey is isolated, each attack will inflict 120% critical damage.
Whoosh——
Qin Tian’s form suddenly blurred, slashing out a thunderous blade as he stepped forward. The blue-purple lightning roared like a wild dragon, the air crackled as the blade light passed through, carrying the momentum to cleave the heavens and earth straight down.
The Silver-winged Demon let out a sharp scream, black Demonic Qi erupted from within like a tide, its wings crossed in front, sharp claw tips wrapped in foul wind, fiercely colliding with the Thunder Saber.
Clang!!
The piercing metallic clash shattered the clouds, the Silver-winged Demon’s face changed drastically.
The opponent’s power had more than doubled compared to before, the turbulent lightning tore through his Demonic Qi shield, surged through the claw tips and spread throughout his body, the penetrating wound in the abdomen was agonizingly irritated by the lightning, dark green blood gushed from the wound, a pained expression involuntarily appeared on his face.
Yet this was just the beginning, Qin Tian’s advantage in talent was only starting to unfold.
"Explode!"
Qin Tian grasped at the air, a low shout announcing, blinding lightning exploded on the Silver-winged Demon’s body.
Five Celestial Punishment Marks erupted simultaneously, blue-purple electric serpents rampaged within him, blood mist sprayed out with a scorched scent, he could no longer suppress a sharp, distorted scream, the metallic luster on his wings dimmed slightly.
[Celestial Punishment Divine Thunder] Judgment — When lightning strikes an enemy, a [Celestial Punishment Mark] is applied, when the mark stacks to five layers, it can be detonated, inflicting true damage of 30% of the target’s lost Life Value.
Celestial Punishment Divine Thunder could already inflict 1000% extra damage to dark enemies like evil spirits, monsters, and Ghost Spirits, and naturally, the Silver-winged Demon belonged to the category of monsters, inherently restrained by Celestial Punishment Divine Thunder. In addition, the five layers of Thunder Marks erupted within, its aura plummeted significantly.
Seeing the Silver-winged Demon’s worsened injuries, Qin Tian would not waste the perfect opportunity he had created, a glint of silver flashed, he flickered behind the Silver-winged Demon, the Black Frost Blade carrying the force of rushing thunder, cleaving straight for its unguarded neck.
However, the Silver-winged Demon, being Tier Six, wouldn’t sit idly by.
"Screech!"
It suddenly flapped its wings, a vast amount of Demonic Qi erupted like a black wave, countless sharp Wind Blades mixed in the Demonic Qi, sweeping outward in a fan shape.
The edges of the Wind Blades glimmered with a ghostly light, easily enough to tear through Profound Iron Armor, if Qin Tian insisted on striking with this blade, he would surely have his chest torn apart by the Wind Blades.
Qin Tian decisively chose to evade temporarily, having a multitude of methods himself, there was no need to take damage in exchange for damage.
Swish——
A flash of silver sparkled again, he retreated to a rocky outcrop hundreds of meters away, the Black Frost Blade pointing diagonally at the ground, Thunder Serpent slowly swirling along the blade.
The Silver-winged Demon gasped violently during this interlude, its chest heaving like a bellows, eyes staring at Qin Tian filled with an intense and unshakeable dread.
This human’s inherent strength might not be particularly strong, but the lightning seemed to be the bane of the Demon Race, each contact sending chills deep to the bone, the wound in its abdomen worsening from Thunder Power erosion.
Screech!!
The Silver-winged Demon suddenly raised its head, screeching, wings spread to the maximum, each metallic feather standing on end like unsheathed swords.
The Demonic Qi around it began to boil, a faint blood color emerging from the originally black energy, it was the forbidden demon secret art invoked by burning Essence Blood.
Silverwing・Thousand Kill!
Screech~~~
Before the screech even settled, its wings suddenly flapped, thousands of blood-glow feathers rained down like a storm, each feather transforming into a sharp short spear, accompanied by piercing whistles that densely enveloped the entire area where Qin Tian stood.
Qin Tian’s gaze sharpened, his feet erupted with thunderous light, and he dashed swiftly among the rocky terrain, blocking with his blade as he moved.
The Black Frost Blade danced into a dense, impenetrable web of thunder, slicing most of the feathers to shreds. Those that slipped through were deflected by the thunder garment on his body, yet left smoking pits on the rocks.
At the moment he dodged, the Silver-winged Demon’s figure approached like a ghost, its claws gathering thick blood-colored demonic qi, aiming directly at Qin Tian’s back.
Qin Tian did not dodge. A pale blue tortoiseshell-like energy shield instantly formed behind him, with heavy spiritual energy flowing through its patterns.
Almost at the instant the shield formed, he swung his elbow back with steel-like muscles, carrying immense power to smash into the Silver-winged Demon’s face.
Squish—
As the claw pierced into the tortoiseshell shield, it felt a sluggish resistance. By the time it struggled through, nearly eighty percent of its force had dissipated, only leaving a few ghastly wounds on Qin Tian’s back, deep enough to reveal bone.
And Qin Tian’s retaliatory elbow strike solidly hit the Silver-winged Demon’s face, the dull sound of bone cracking clearly audible, with dark green blood spilling instantly from its mouth and nose as it staggered back a few steps.
Not waiting for the Silver-winged Demon to stabilize its stance, it suddenly felt an excruciating pain in its back, as though being carved open by an invisible blade.
Immediately after, several strands of blue-purple lightning exploded on its body out of nowhere, the crackling current burrowing into its wounds, causing it to let out a piercing scream.
Tortoise Shell Recoil: Consumes internal energy to form a tortoiseshell armor shield, which reflects 35% of damage (including physical, energy, and mental attacks) back to the attacker, temporarily increasing self-defense power by 60%.
The Dragon Tortoise Demon’s talent had now become the Silver-winged Demon’s death knell, and the thunder erupting on its body was precisely the divine thunder protection effect of Celestial Punishment—immune to all lightning.
It has a 30% chance to trigger [Divine Thunder Protection] when attacked, negating 50% of damage and reflecting 70% of received injury back to the attacker.
These two reflective damage talents stacked fiercely against the Silver-winged Demon.
Its already cracked facial bone shattered completely under the recoil force, while the wound on its back was torn wider by the lightning, with dark green blood gushing like a fountain, its aura quickly weakening.
The situation grew increasingly favorable for Qin Tian.
Though his level was inferior to the Tier Six Silver-winged Demon, his endless talents and techniques had long bridged the gap in realm.
Dealing with this Silver-winged Demon, wounded by Shadowstrike, the divine thunder’s restraint combined with various talent explosions led to its chaotic aura, making its body appear unsteady.
If encountering other Tier Six foes, Qin Tian might not have it so easy, but the tenfold extra damage from Celestial Punishment Divine Thunder against demons was something the Silver-winged Demon, not strong in defense, could not withstand.
"The final blade, to take your life!"
Qin Tian tightened his grip on the Black Frost Blade, a domineering and unparalleled sword intent erupted, invisible waves radiating from him as the surrounding stones were shaken into suspension.
The Seventh-Layer Dominating Blade Intent had already been fully stacked, interwoven with the blade’s lightning and domineering sword intent, seemingly ready to awaken a dormant beast.
"Celestial Execution—Judgment!"
With the shout, the Black Frost Blade slashed ferociously.
This strike carried no earth-shattering roar, yet it condensed the strongest strike of Celestial Punishment Nine Strikes and the edge of Seventh-Layer Dominating Blade Intent.
When the blade light first appeared, it was only about a foot long, but as it slashed out it suddenly expanded, transforming into a brilliant lightning light piercing the world, like a thunder bridge connecting the heavens and the earth, wrapped in a domineering sword intent to annihilate everything in its path, the air crushed into a vacuum, even the light swallowed by the blade’s glimmer.
The Silver-winged Demon’s pupils shrunk, sensing an overwhelming crisis from this strike, desperately flapping its wings to evade, yet found its movements greatly slowed by the sword intent and a power of void lock.
In the end, it could only watch helplessly as the thunderbolt blade wrapped in heavenly prestige approached, with extreme fear filling its eyes.
Squish!
The blade light swept through without hindrance or pause.
The Silver-winged Demon’s head flew high, still fixed in a terrified expression, with dark green blood gushing from its neck, forming a mournful blood fountain.
The massive body stiffened on the spot, its metallic wings futilely flapping twice before drooping powerlessly, then fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
After slicing through the head, the blade light didn’t dissipate, continuing to strike the ground, carving a trench several feet deep, the thunder rampaging within before slowly fading away.
Qin Tian stood with his blade, panting slightly, as the lightning on the Black Frost Blade gradually subsided, leaving a faint burnt smell. He looked at the twitching demon corpse on the ground and the head rolling aside, a smile tugging at his lips.
