Chapter 379: Purging Evil! Ring Explosion! Tang Chen?
Facing this incomparably sharp and fierce sword strike, the doubt in Qian Daoliu's eyes was instantly replaced by solemn gravity. He dared not be the slightest bit negligent, and the six light wings behind him simultaneously bloomed with a sun-like radiance!
In the next second, he raised his right hand, his five fingers spread open as he pressed forward into empty air.
Instantly, a massive diamond-shaped light shield, completely condensed from dazzling golden sacred energy, unfurled before him. Complex runes flowed across its surface.
"BOOM——!!!!"
The dark crimson blade viciously slashed onto the golden light shield!
A deafening explosion resounded through the heavens!
The next second, golden and crimson lights erupted violently like two colliding stars! A terrifying ring-shaped energy shockwave swept outwards, plowing through the already ruined remains of Chisha Town below once more. Countless shattered stones and broken timbers were swept into the sky, only to be pulverized within the chaotic energy currents!
The golden light shield trembled violently, the runes on its surface flickering erratically, and even fine cracks appeared. Yet, in the end, it did not shatter, steadily receiving the blow.
Meanwhile, the dark crimson sword blade, exhausted by the intense clash, dissipated into nothingness.
However, the Slaughter King's attack followed in rapid succession!
Having failed with one sword strike, his figure flickered again, appearing like a ghost behind Qian Daoliu's flank. The Asura Demon Sword in his hand changed from a slash to a thrust, its tip gathering a point of dark red sword radiance so profound it seemed to reach an extreme, aimed straight at Qian Daoliu's back!
This point of cold radiance contained terrifying Killing Intent, as if it could pierce through all defenses in the world.
"Angel, Judgement!"
As if he had eyes on his back, Qian Daoliu did not turn his head, uttering four solemn words from his mouth.
One of the light wings behind him suddenly swept forward—not a physical attack, but unleashing a tide of Judgement Fire composed of pure sacred flames!
The flames were golden, their temperature not scorching, yet carrying an absolute power to suppress all dark and evil attributes. They surged like a tidal wave towards the Slaughter King and that point of dark red sword radiance attacking from behind.

"Sssss—!"
The Judgement Fire clashed intensely with the dark red sword radiance and the Slaughter King's protective Domain, emitting a dense series of crackling explosions. The Slaughter King's thrust was stalled, the bloody light surrounding his body constantly scorched and evaporated.
"Hmph!"
The Slaughter King snorted coldly, seemingly quite wary of the sacred flames. He decisively abandoned the thrust, his figure vanishing from mid-air once more.
In the next second, three dark crimson afterimages of the Slaughter King simultaneously appeared in the sky, slashing their swords towards Qian Daoliu from different angles! The Sword Qi unleashed by each afterimage was incredibly solid and terrifyingly powerful, resembling a Clone technique, yet carrying the terrifying Killing Intent of the main body.
Watching this scene, Qian Daoliu's expression remained unchanged. His six wings flapped together, instantly boosting his speed to the limit, leaving trails of golden afterimages in the air as he narrowly avoided two of the Sword Qi strikes.
Simultaneously, a long sword completely formed from Holy Light had somehow materialized in his hand. With a backhanded slash, he shattered the third Sword Qi.
Unable to gain an advantage after prolonged attacks, the ferocity in the Slaughter King's bloody eyes intensified.
He no longer sought refined attacks, directly pouring his full power into activating his Slaughter Domain. Dark red light spread frantically from him as the center, attempting to envelop Qian Daoliu as well.
"A mere petty trick!"
Qian Daoliu shouted lowly, activating his own Angelic Domain!
Pure, vast, golden light filled with radiance and sacred aura rose like a sun behind him, then rapidly expanded outwards, colliding violently with the Slaughter Domain!
"Zzzz—BOOM!!!"
The collision of these two top-tier Domains was even more terrifying than the previous sword skill exchange!
Golden and crimson lights formed a massive, constantly twisting and exploding sphere of energy in mid-air, then began eroding, compressing, and annihilating each other!
The ground below continuously collapsed and cracked under the dual pressure of the Domains, as if bearing the weight of a falling sky. Space fluctuated violently, with fine, dense spatial cracks spreading out like a spiderweb.
For a moment, the Domains of the two were actually locked in a stalemate!
Facing Qian Daoliu's angelic divine force and Angelic Domain, which suppressed evil and purified all things, the Slaughter King's Slaughter Domain not only failed to suppress his opponent as intended, preventing him from using Martial Soul Abilities, but also seemed slightly sluggish in the confrontation against the sacred Domain. However, his combat instincts were extremely formidable, and his offensive grew even more frenzied.
The Asura Demon Sword in the Slaughter King's hand transformed into streaks of dark crimson afterimages that seemed to tear apart heaven and earth. Each slash contained terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas, forcing Qian Daoliu to focus intently on defense. The golden holy sword formed from pure angelic divine force in his hand clashed with it repeatedly.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Boom—!"
The sounds of clashing metal and exploding energy were incessant.
With each clash of swords, the Evil-Purging Light flowing on the holy sword would rush along the blade to impact the Asura Demon Sword, then erode the Slaughter King's arm and the bloody aura surrounding him.
That pure, sacred power was like a red-hot branding iron plunged into icy water, causing the Slaughter King to emit muffled, furious roars. The savagery in his bloody eyes burned even more intensely.
"Detestable golden light... shatter for me!"
Suddenly, the Slaughter King roared, the Asura Demon Sword in his hand blazing with bloody light. A single, even more ferocious crimson cross-slash tore through space, viciously cleaving towards Qian Daoliu.
"Evil shall never prevail over righteousness! You will ultimately be purified by the sacred!" Qian Daoliu sneered, his holy sword held horizontally to block. The light wings behind him erupted with even more intense radiance, the power of his Angelic Domain once again empowering him.
"BOOM—!"
Amidst the violent explosion, Qian Daoliu steadily received this blow. The Evil-Purging Light on his holy sword instead surged back along the blade, once again scorching the Slaughter King's bloody aura, causing it to churn and emit sizzling sounds.
The sustained suppression and injuries caused the Slaughter King's reason to grow increasingly blurred within his rage.
Those chaotic memory fragments in his mind surged again. A certain combat method, rooted deep in his Soul and almost instinctual, seemed to begin influencing his attack patterns, stimulated by extreme fury and the pressure of confronting a powerful foe.
Just as Qian Daoliu swung his holy sword once more, carrying sacred power to thrust towards an opening in his chest, the Asura Demon Sword in the Slaughter King's hand suddenly began to twist wildly!
Then, under Qian Daoliu's astonished gaze, the form of that dark crimson demon sword, symbolizing ultimate slaughter, underwent an inconceivable transformation!
The hilt extended, the blade contracted, then deformed, solidified... In the blink of an eye, that Asura Demon Sword had bizarrely transformed into a massive hammer! A hammer entirely pitch-black, covered in dark golden mysterious patterns, with an ancient and domineering design...
The hammerhead was enormous, as if containing boundless power capable of suppressing mountains.
The hammer's handle was long and slender, held in the Slaughter King's pale hand. It exuded a terrifying power, completely different from the sharp, sinister aura of the previous Asura Demon Sword... a power that seemed capable of annihilating all techniques!
"This... what is this?!"
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu's golden pupils abruptly contracted to the size of pinpricks. For the first time, an expression of unconcealable shock and horror appeared on his face. He even forgot to continue his attack, exclaiming aloud:
"This is the Clear Sky Hammer?!"
This form, this aura.
This domineering will that seemed capable of smashing through all obstacles... he absolutely could not be mistaken!
This was precisely the number one Tool Spirit under heaven, the symbolic inheritance of the Clear Sky Sect—the Clear Sky Hammer!
Although the hammer before him was dark in color, its patterns slightly different, and shrouded in an inescapable bloody, sinister aura, how similar it was to the Martial Soul of that old rival in his memory?!
"You are Tang Chen!?"
This thought exploded like thunder in Qian Daoliu's mind, shaking him to his core. The earlier sense of familiarity instantly found its source, yet it brought even deeper shock and disbelief.
However, the Slaughter King gave him no time to think.
In that fleeting moment when Qian Daoliu was slightly stunned by the shock, the Slaughter King let out a roar from his mouth—a sound not of a human, but one that seemed to contain boundless fury and Killing Intent.
"BREAK—!"
The next second, the Clear Sky Hammer in the Slaughter King's hand, carrying a terrifying momentum as if to smash the heavens and shatter the earth, was swung up and then brought crashing down towards Qian Daoliu's head!
This hammer strike held no fancy techniques, only pure, ultimate power and destruction! Wherever the hammer's wind passed, space crumbled inch by inch, forming a temporary black hole region!
Qian Daoliu snapped back to his senses instantly. A powerful sense of crisis made him temporarily suppress all his shock.
He knew full well the terror of the Clear Sky Hammer. Even he dared not be the slightest bit careless!
"Angel, Protection!"
With a low shout, Qian Daoliu's six wings suddenly folded together before him. Vast angelic divine force poured madly into the golden holy sword in his hand. The holy sword's light surged, transforming into an incredibly solid, sacred giant shield flowing with liquid golden light, which he raised above his head.
"DIE!!"
The Slaughter King's roar mixed with the sound of the massive hammer tearing through the air, filled with madness to destroy everything.
"CLANG——!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The sound of this collision far surpassed any previous one. It was no longer a crisp clang of metal, but a terrifying thunderclap like two stars colliding, the sky itself splitting apart!
The dark Clear Sky Hammer smashed viciously onto the golden holy shield!
Time seemed to freeze for an instant.
Immediately after, indescribably violent energy erupted from the point of impact in a spherical explosion! Golden and dark black lights clashed frantically, annihilating and exploding against each other!
"Crack!"
A clear cracking sound rang out.
A distinct fissure actually appeared on the golden holy shield condensed by Qian Daoliu! Although angelic divine force rushed in, attempting to repair it, the crack remained shockingly visible!
However, the sacred light attached to the shield suddenly burst forth, producing an Evil-Purging effect that forcibly swept away all the evil aura in the air.
The Slaughter King's body was completely bathed in that sacred golden light.
At this moment, his body froze there like a statue, even the evil expression on his face solidifying, as if affected by something.
"Sssss—!!!"
A grating, sizzling sound erupted densely!
The thick, viscous, seemingly blood-dripping dark red bloody aura surrounding the Slaughter King began to violently evaporate and dissipate at a visible rate under the radiance of Qian Daoliu's fully activated Angelic Domain, like solid ice encountering a blazing sun!
"Aaaaaah—!!!"
The Slaughter King let out a shrill, inhuman scream.
That sound was filled with indescribable pain, fury, and even a trace of... the awakened clarity of consciousness belonging to Tang Chen's true self?
His entire body convulsed violently. His originally pale, corpse-like face twisted into a near-demonic grimace. The red light in his bloody eyes flickered madly, sometimes savage, sometimes bewildered.
"Angel, Sword of Judgement! Purify!"
Watching this scene, a brilliant light surged in Qian Daoliu's eyes. Knowing this was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity, he gripped his sword with both hands and slashed down with full force towards the struggling, agonized Slaughter King!
This sword strike condensed his lifelong cultivation and the full might of his Angelic Domain, vowing to completely purify that overwhelming evil aura within the sacred light!
However, at that very moment, eight black and one red Soul Rings actually appeared on the body of the Clear Sky Hammer, and then exploded in succession! Instantly, an extremely unstable energy began to brew frantically upon it!
Then, using his last ounce of strength, the Slaughter King swung the Clear Sky Hammer down with all his might—not towards the incoming golden sword light, but towards the ground before him!
This hammer strike held no technique, only the most primitive, most violent energy discharge!
"GET AWAY FROM THIS KING——!!!"
"BOOM——!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
A terrifying explosion beyond description occurred!
Where the Clear Sky Hammer struck, a sphere of destruction over a hundred meters in diameter, mixed with dark red blood, shattered golden light, and pure darkness, instantly expanded!
The power of this explosion far surpassed any previous clash!
It was not a directional attack, but an indiscriminate, omnidirectional energy impact!
The first to bear the brunt was Qian Daoliu. The tip of his descending golden Sword of Judgement was the first to touch the edge of this sphere of destruction!
"BOOM—!"
The golden sword light and the destructive energy clashed intensely, emitting a deafening roar.
Qian Daoliu felt an irresistible force, mixed with evil, crashing towards him. His sword momentum was forcibly halted. Like a kite with its string cut, he was violently sent flying backwards by the terrifying explosion shockwave, tumbling through the air for hundreds of meters before barely stabilizing his posture. His face flushed, and his internal Qi and blood churned violently—clearly, he had suffered significant internal shock.
The center of the explosion was engulfed in chaotic energy turbulence and sky-blotting dust. Space shattered, and the earth turned to powder.
The next second, a massive, bottomless crater was revealed!
Immediately after, a streak of golden light resembling a swimming Dragon shot up from the depths of the crater. The golden light turned dim in mid-air, and by the time it reached its apex, it had completely turned black.
When the dust settled slightly, there, aside from the massive crater and the remaining, still-rampant energy aftershocks, was nothing but emptiness.
The Slaughter King's figure had vanished without a trace.
"Was that... the Clear Sky Sect's Ring Explosion?"
"Tang Chen? So it was him after all! But why has he become like this?"
He did not give chase. Firstly, he himself was injured by the sudden explosion and needed to recuperate.
Secondly, the Slaughter King's final attack was clearly a desperate, life-risking move. He was likely severely wounded now, having fled far away to hide. Most importantly, this discovery was simply too shocking. He needed to return to Spirit City immediately to ponder it carefully and plan his next moves from there. (
