From Sword to Slaughter: Evolution

At that moment, Zhang Leitian burst into laughter.

"Zhang Leitian! You filthy half-breed, how dare you come to my territory!!!"

Just then, a demon with a bull-like head charged out, and behind him, the other Demon Gods followed.

These Demon Gods were vastly different from the ones Zhang Leitian had fought earlier. Their power was overwhelming.

"Oh? So, you're all here," Zhang Leitian smirked as he glanced at the group of Demon Gods before him. "It seems this is a perfect opportunity for me to kill you all in one place."

"You, a half-breed, think you can kill us?"

The bull-headed demon, one of the strongest Demon Lords in the region, was Suiran. At that moment, with a mere thought, a massive battle-axe appeared in his hands.

"Die, you bastard!" Suiran gripped the axe with both hands and swung it violently through the air.

Boom!

In an instant, a terrifying surge of energy erupted, rushing straight toward Zhang Leitian.

"Hmph."

Seeing this, Zhang Leitian's eyes showed no fear. He stood his ground without dodging.

"Your power means nothing to me!"

He roared and swung the Ye Fan Sword, slashing at the incoming energy.

Boom—

With one strike, the horrifying energy was split in half. However, despite being cut, the residual force was still powerful enough to knock Zhang Leitian backward.

Thud—

Though he quickly regained his footing, a mouthful of blood spilled from his lips.

"Damn it..."

Zhang Leitian's eyes widened in shock. Was this the power of a Six-Star Demon God? It was unbelievably strong!

"Hmm?"

Suiran frowned as he observed the scene. That attack had been a full-force strike, one befitting a Six-Star Demon God. Yet, Zhang Leitian had managed to cut through the energy and remain standing, with only minor injuries.

"Let me kill him," another demon with a ram-like head stepped forward, his voice cold.

"Fine, go ahead and bring me his head," Suiran agreed with a nod.

This ram-headed Demon God was a Five-Star, and he wielded a trident as he walked toward Zhang Leitian.

"Zhang Leitian, do you remember me?" the demon sneered as he approached.

"Skos," Zhang Leitian muttered, his pupils narrowing. His eyes filled with pure hatred.

Skos! The very demon who had driven him out and murdered his mother!

"It was you who struck the final blow back then."

Zhang Leitian's body trembled with rage as he glared at Skos.

At that moment, Zhang Leitian's fury reached its peak.

"Yes, it was me. And so what?" Skos laughed. "I was only following the orders of your family."

"Shut up!" Zhang Leitian roared. "That's not my family!"

His eyes were filled with an uncontrollable desire for revenge, and his entire body quivered with anger.

"Heh, it seems I've hit a nerve," Skos chuckled.

"Back then, they told me not to kill you. But now that you're back in the Demon Domain, none of that matters anymore."

With those words, Skos lunged at Zhang Leitian, wielding his trident.

As Skos charged, he swung the trident, unleashing several terrifying tornado-like whirlwinds.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The powerful cyclones roared toward Zhang Leitian, shaking the earth and sky. Massive rocks and soil were torn from the ground and swept into the air. Some of the Demon Gods that had accompanied Zhang Leitian were caught in the cyclones, and their bodies were shredded to pieces.

"Damn you..."

Zhang Leitian's eyes burned with infinite killing intent as he watched the destruction. But he knew that with his current strength, facing Skos, a Five-Star peak Demon God, would not be easy.

[Rage]!

In that instant, Zhang Leitian activated the Ye Fan Sword's skill. This ability allowed him to enter a berserk state, temporarily boosting all of his attributes.

But he didn't stop there. He also activated [Hell's Cross Formation] and then, finally, unleashed [Bloodthirsty Fury].

As soon as the last skill was activated, Zhang Leitian sacrificed a large amount of his life essence. A surge of terrifying energy erupted from the Ye Fan Sword and coursed through his entire body.

Such immense power!

With the stacked skills enhancing him, Zhang Leitian felt explosive energy coursing through every part of his body.

"Get lost!"

Wielding his sword, he slashed at the incoming tornadoes.

The terrifying sword energy cut through the cyclones like a cold light splitting the horizon, shredding the whirlwinds and dispersing them in an instant.

Without waiting for Skos to make another move, Zhang Leitian vanished from where he stood.

"Where is he!?"

Skos had been ready to attack, but Zhang Leitian's sudden disappearance caused him to widen his eyes in shock.

Behind me!

Sensing the danger, Skos spun around and thrust his trident backward with all his might.

Clang—

The trident clashed with the Ye Fan Sword.

"Insect!" Skos snarled as he locked eyes with Zhang Leitian, who had appeared behind him.

"Is that so?" Zhang Leitian sneered back.

With his strength amplified to its peak, Zhang Leitian felt a deep surge of confidence. He was certain he could kill this Five-Star Demon God and finally exact his revenge.

He would kill Skos.

He would avenge his mother.

With those thoughts in mind, Zhang Leitian's eyes widened, and his mastery of the sword erupted in a flurry of strikes.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The sword flashed like lightning, raining down blow after blow on Skos.

Clang, clang, clang—

Skos swung his trident wildly to block the attacks.
