Chapter 498: Chapter 391: Blood Demon Hammer Technique, Soul-breaking Slash

BOOM!

With a deafening crash, Shi Tianpo’s body slammed into the ground. A violent aura erupted and swept through the surroundings. The horses panicked, neighing in terror and kicking frantically as the scene descended into utter chaos.

"What lowly cur dares—"

An expert at the Inner Qi Realm yanked hard on his reins, trying to control his panicked steed. He glared at the newly-appeared Shi Tianpo and roared, attempting to intimidate him.

"Chen Ping’an, come and meet your death!"

Shi Tianpo’s face was a mask of savagery, and a heart-stopping Evil Qi radiated from his body. He brandished the Blood Demon Hammer and charged toward Chen Ping’an.

His landing had put him right next to Chen Ping’an.

"Protect Lord Chen!"

Xiong Sanrang’s weapon was a spiky Wolf Fang Profound Iron Rod. He saw Shi Tianpo charge, and though intimidated by the man’s power, he knew Chen Ping’an was right behind him. He had no choice but to brace himself and meet the attack head-on.

However, he had yet to even reach Profound Light Middle Realm Perfection. How could he possibly be a match for the Blood Demon Hammer, Shi Tianpo?

BOOM!

With a thunderous crash, Xiong Sanrang was sent flying like a kite with a snapped string.

SPURT! Xiong Sanrang’s powerful frame slammed into the mountainside, carving out a huge crater. The force of the impact and the violent roiling of his Qi and Blood made him cough up a mouthful of blood.

"The Blood Demon Hammer... Shi Tianpo!" In that brief exchange, he had recognized his opponent.

’His methods are vicious and his nature is brutal. With his Blood Demon Hammer Technique, he can even take on veteran Absolute Masters!’

"Lord Chen, watch out!" Xiong Sanrang cried out in alarm.

In his line of sight, Shi Tianpo was wreathed in a monstrous, bloody light. He leaped high into the air, bringing the enormous, Blood-colored Demon Hammer crashing down toward Chen Ping’an.

"Die! Die!" Shi Tianpo sneered, a savage grin spreading across his face. As Chen Ping’an’s handsome features grew closer, he felt a surge of exhilaration.

’Mang Blade Chen Ping’an, today is the day you die! Luohua Ridge will be your grave!’

To slay Chen Ping’an on the spot as quickly as possible, he had already used a Burst Secret Technique with severe side effects. He was now fully activating his Blood Demon Hammer Technique, striving for a one-hit kill!

’No matter how astonishingly talented Mang Blade Chen Ping’an might be, he will undoubtedly die beneath this hammer strike!’

’Chen Ping’an!’

’You should feel honored to die by my Secret Technique!’

The Blood Demon Hammer crashed down. He could already picture Chen Ping’an’s demise.

And yet... the savage grin on Shi Tianpo’s face froze before it could fully bloom.

A flash of greyish-white light, tinged with pale blue, suddenly flared before his eyes. He didn’t even have time to react before it tore through his defenses.

The blade-light shimmered, a phantom gleam imbued with the intent of a Broken Soul.

’What is...’ A flicker of confusion crossed Shi Tianpo’s eyes.

The next moment!

Shi Tianpo’s vision spun. Before he could register what had happened, he plunged into an endless, silent darkness.

Shi Tianpo, the Blood Demon Hammer, an Absolute Master of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, was dead!

Carried by inertia, the Blood-colored Demon Hammer continued its downward plunge. Chen Ping’an struck out with his palm, which glowed with a faint yellow light that manifested the Vajra’s Intent.

The Great Vajra Palm!

BOOM!

Without Shi Tianpo empowering it, most of the might within the Blood-colored Demon Hammer had dissipated. Chen Ping’an effortlessly slapped it away.

’He’s dead?’

The scene had unfolded in the blink of an eye, leaving Xiong Sanrang utterly stunned.

Just moments ago, the overwhelmingly powerful Blood Demon Hammer, Shi Tianpo, had sent him flying with a single blow. Yet before Lord Chen, he couldn’t even withstand a single move!

"An Absolute Master... killed with a single slash!?" Xiong Sanrang’s face was a mask of horror, his eyes wide as if he’d just witnessed the most impossible sight. His mouth hung open as he muttered in disbelief, "Lord Chen... he..."

The Blood Demon Hammer, Shi Tianpo, was well-known for his prowess in long, drawn-out battles and fighting multiple opponents. He could use his enemies’ blood essence to replenish his own strength, often growing more ferocious as a battle wore on!

Among Absolute Masters, Shi Tianpo’s combat power wasn’t considered the strongest. But he was definitely known as one of the most difficult to deal with.

’But now... he’s just dead!? Like that!?’

’Even a Top Level Absolute Master couldn’t have done it so cleanly and decisively!’

And yet, the Blood Demon Hammer, Shi Tianpo, had just died right in front of him!

’That move just now... what kind of Sword Skill was that?’ Xiong Sanrang couldn’t help but recall that phantom glimmer of light.

However, the situation was not yet resolved, so it was no time for deep thought.

Profound Light flared between Xiong Sanrang’s brows as True Qi rippled around him, and he forced himself to stand. His physique was robust and protected by his True Qi. Though he had been injured taking that blow from Shi Tianpo head-on, he was far from seriously wounded.

BAM!

Xiong Sanrang shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow, charging the nearest member of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

"Elder Shi is dead!?" The members of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, locked in a fierce struggle with the elites of the Garrison Commandant’s Office, realized Shi Tianpo had been killed. Horror washed over their faces, and they fell into disarray.

"How is that possible!?"

"No! It’s absolutely impossible!"

"..."

With Xiong Sanrang joining the battle and the elites of the Garrison Commandant’s Office pressing their advantage, the chaos was quickly quelled. During the skirmish, Chen Ping’an captured a Profound Light Realm bandit alive. The man tried to commit suicide on the spot, but with the absolute disparity in their power, Chen Ping’an easily stopped him.

"Take him away. When we get to the encampment at Sanqi Mountain, interrogate him thoroughly!" Chen Ping’an’s voice wasn’t loud, but to those who heard it, it felt as heavy as a mountain, carrying an inexplicable sense of power.

"Yes, sir!" Everyone nearby replied in unison, their voices filled with respect.

Chen Ping’an had already crippled the Ten Thousand Demons Sect member’s Martial Arts. Now that he had fallen into the hands of the Garrison Commandant’s Office, even wanting to die would not be so easy.
