Chapter 755: Frenzied Battle, Vajra Shakes the Demon! Panic, Contamination Increases Again

BOOM—!!!

A deafening explosion rocked the landscape, shaking the surrounding mountains and forests. Leaves scattered through the air as pebbles and debris tumbled down.

A column of smoke and dust shot into the sky, rising like a mushroom cloud.

A figure burst from the massive crater, his clothes in tatters. He staggered, cutting a wretched figure.

It was Zhang Tianyu, his hair a mess and his face covered in blood and grime.

From a distance, Princess Zhaohua, Wang Yiyi, and the others swept the area with their Divine Sense. They saw that Zhang Tianyu, who had just been so imposing and imperious, now had an aura that was plummeting like a river bursting its dam. It had fallen by several degrees, and he was clearly no longer at his peak!

This wasn’t an ordinary injury, but a sign that his very foundation was collapsing!

The bizarre black mist that had surrounded him—once as thick as ink and seemingly capable of devouring the very light from the sky—was now tattered and broken. It had thinned to mere smoke, with wisps scattering on the wind. It could no longer conceal his form, revealing his miserable state for all to see.

Zhang Tianyu hovered in mid-air, his body swaying precariously like a dead leaf in a gale, looking as if he would plummet to the ground at any second!

SWOOSH!

Before Zhang Tianyu could even steady himself, the air behind him trembled.

A figure covered in horrifying cracks materialized behind him, looking like a demon straight from hell.

Fine cracks, like those on shattered porcelain, spread across Chu Fan’s scorched-black skin. A Dark Gold luster and the crimson of blood were faintly visible through them—a truly horrifying sight.

He didn’t utter a single word. The cold glint in his eyes flared as he raised his right fist high. Muscles bulged on his arm like an ancient dragon coiled around a pillar, veins popping across its length. His fist, like a heavy siege hammer crackling with compressed Sky Splitting power, came down with a dull THUD, smashing hard into the back of Zhang Tianyu’s head!

BAM!

“AH—!!”

Zhang Tianyu let out a heart-rending, bloodcurdling scream. His body shot downward like a black meteor, smashing violently toward the ground and leaving a sharp whistle in his wake as he tore through the air!

CRASH!

The earth suffered another heavy blow, letting out a pained groan.

Soil churned like waves, and rock fragments flew in all directions.

Another crater, dozens of feet deep, had been blasted into the ground!

“Just die!”

Radiating killing intent, Chu Fan angled his body downward. With the unstoppable momentum of a hawk diving for a rabbit, he plunged toward the deep crater below!

But deep in the crater, Zhang Tianyu was still a Ruyi Realm expert. Though he had transformed into a frenzied and witless Fallen Demon, his survival instincts suddenly erupted…

A shield, pitch-black as ink and covered in swirling, bizarre Runes, instantly materialized. It formed a dome, sealing the entire crater shut!

Chu Fan reached it in an instant, raining down his fists like a violent storm. The force of his blows was so great that it whipped the surrounding air into a roaring gale!

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG…

He threw seven punches in a row, all of them striking the pitch-black shield!

Each blow sent visible ripples of energy surging outward;

each dull thud landed like a hammer blow to the chests of Princess Zhaohua and the others, making their stomachs churn, their eyes twitch, and their hearts clench in anxiety!

BOOM!

When the eighth punch came crashing down with world-destroying power…

…the seemingly indestructible black shield finally gave way. It let out a piercing shriek before shattering into countless black fragments that dissipated into the air!

But in the split second that the shield shattered, something unexpected happened!

A wisp of black qi, seemingly condensed from pure malice, shot out from under the cover of the debris. Like a long-dormant viper, it silently lashed out and coiled tightly around Chu Fan!

“This is bad!”

Far away, the expressions of Princess Zhaohua and the others changed drastically. They all cried out in alarm, their hearts leaping into their throats. The Primordial Qi in their bodies surged as they instinctively prepared to intervene!

But the exchange had been too fast, and they were too far away. It was simply too late!

“You damned little bastard!!”

Two murky, overlapping voices emerged from Zhang Tianyu’s throat—one was his own venomous hiss, born of his grievous wounds; the other was the aged, Decaying, and murderous roar of the Zhang Family Ancestor!

He made a beckoning gesture with his right hand, and the sword that had been knocked from his grasp instantly flew back to him.

With a ferocious expression, Zhang Tianyu raised his sword and brought it down viciously on the bound Chu Fan!

BZZZZ—

The air trembled violently as an ephemeral, pitch-black blade over a hundred feet long took form. Its edge crackled with destructive black lightning. A terrifying, suffocating pressure spread out, like a mountain crashing down, threatening to cleave this arrogant ant—body and soul—into nothing but dust!

‘Shadow Step!’

The command flashed through Chu Fan’s mind in the nick of time.

His body ignored the tenacious bonds of the black qi, dissolving into a Residual Image. He vanished on the spot, reappearing silently behind Zhang Tianyu like a phantom!

The sword strike missed its mark!

But Zhang Tianyu was a veteran of countless battles…

He didn’t even have time to turn his head. Relying purely on a warrior’s instinct, he spun around, forcibly changing the direction of his descending sword. With a sharp SWISH, he sent a vicious arc of light, like a crescent moon, slashing backward!

CRACK!

A sharp crack rang out!

A hand as hard as an iron vise had clamped down on Zhang Tianyu’s right elbow, its five fingers digging deep into his flesh!

The terrifying force of the grip had stopped the thunderous, fatal sword strike in its tracks. The Sword Momentum froze, and the blade let out a frustrated hum!

The next moment, the two men faced each other at close range at the bottom of the crater.

On one side was Zhang Tianyu, his face contorted and radiating grim Demonic Qi;

on the other was Chu Fan, covered in cracks and looking like a ghoul.

‘Mind Enchantment Skill!’

A purple light suddenly flared in Chu Fan’s eyes. It was eerie and profound, a chilling mixture of killing intent and bizarre power that could make one’s blood run cold!

This was his Perfection Level Mind Enchantment Skill, a technique he rarely used in actual combat!

This Technique originated from the County Magistrate’s Wife in Cyan Yang City, a master of Charm. It specialized in infinitely amplifying a person’s deepest desires and obsessions in order to control their will.

And at this moment, Zhang Tianyu was already teetering on the frenzied edge of his transformation into a Fallen Demon!
