Chapter 196: The Shang Organization
King Kunpeng tried his best to move his body and turned his head rapidly, barely avoiding Ying's sharp sword that was piercing him like lightning. But even so, his cheek was inevitably cut with a hideous scar deep enough to see the bone, and blood immediately flowed out.
Elsewhere, the long sword clenched in Sha's hand unleashed a terrifying surge of energy, slashing fiercely across King Kunpeng's massive wings with overwhelming force. With a resounding clang, the two weapons collided violently, sending forth countless dazzling sparks. Although the blow caused no substantial damage to King Kunpeng, the terrifying force still caused him to stagger violently, severely disrupting his previously maintained balance.
In a flash, taking advantage of King Kunpeng's moment of uncertainty, a claw as hard as steel suddenly appeared like a ghost, and with lightning speed and unerring precision, it grabbed King Kunpeng's shoulder. At the same time, Jue, holding a heavy chain that gleamed with a cold light, swung it towards King Kunpeng without hesitation. Then, tightly grasping the other end, he used inertia to pull back with all his strength, clearly intending to seize this opportunity to completely break King Kunpeng's balance and throw him to the ground!
However, King Kunpeng was no ordinary warrior. Facing the enemy's continuous and ferocious attacks, he remained calm and reacted quickly. His extremely sharp claws grasped the chain like iron pliers, and he and Jue launched a thrilling wrestling match.
For a moment, the two sides refused to give in and were deadlocked. Each was gritting their teeth and pulling hard at the chain, neither willing to let go first...
At that moment, the lion king finally gave up his restraint, and his massive body suddenly moved. His flowing golden fur swayed freely in the air like waves of wheat in the wind. Then, with a deafening roar, he cried out, "Mountain Claw!" The roar seemed to pierce the clouds, shaking the very heavens and earth.
At the same time, the Lion King raised his right hand high, a powerful force gathering in his palm, instantly transforming into an incredibly mighty golden lion. This condensed energy lion was lifelike, every hair and every line imbued with boundless majesty and dominance. With its fangs and claws bared, it pounced fiercely at Jue, who was pulling the chariot with King Kunpeng, with unstoppable momentum.
However, Blade, who had been closely watching the Lion King's every move, would not let it succeed so easily? Blade shouted loudly: "Guard!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure teleported in front of Jue with lightning speed. He gripped the hilt tightly with both hands, and the longsword in his hand danced like a spirit snake. In an instant, sword flowers flew, interweaving into an impenetrable sword net. Then, a huge black Qi shield appeared out of thin air, like an indestructible mountain blocking the way ahead.
In a flash, the Lion King's Mountain-Smashing Claws collided with Blade's giant Qi shield! For a moment, the entire space was enveloped in dazzling light, and a deafening roar threatened to tear the very earth apart. The shockwaves of the collision spread in all directions, distorting the surrounding air with the overwhelming force.
When the light faded, everyone looked closely and saw that the giant shield in front of the blade had been broken and shattered, and countless fragments flew everywhere. The once majestic golden lion king had now become much dimmer, but its figure did not stop, and it continued to pounce on the blade at an astonishing speed.
Faced with such a fierce attack, there was no trace of surprise on Ren's face.
Clearly, he had anticipated this situation and had even begun preparing a countermeasure a second before the Qi shield shattered. He took a deep breath, and the Qi within him continuously surged out, condensing into a brand new Qi shield. Although Blade's strength was slightly inferior to the Lion King's, at this critical moment, he displayed an indomitable fighting spirit and a calm demeanor.
After all, in a one-on-one fight, there was a certain gap in the cultivation level between the two sides, so it was not easy for Blade to block the Lion King head-on. But even so, he still did not retreat, and tried his best to resist the opponent's attack.
Just as the Lion King was about to attack, a terrifying sense of imminent death suddenly washed over him. This feeling was so real and urgent that he quickly retracted his outstretched right hand without hesitation and brought it across his body at the fastest speed.
Almost instantly, a black blade, as if suddenly emerging from the depths of hell, streaked silently and ghostly towards the Lion King's throat! Its speed was so swift that it was almost imperceptible. Fortunately, the Lion King's right hand, having just withdrawn, successfully blocked the fatal blow. But before he could rejoice, he realized that the power contained in this black blade far exceeded his initial expectations!
Although the blade was barely blocked by the Lion King's right hand, the man holding the blade seemed to have anticipated this, showing no sign of surprise. He swung the blade downward with even greater force than before, slashing down with a vengeance. With this swing, the already inky black blade darkened even darker, as if a few drops of thick ink might drip from it at any moment.
The Lion King's enormous eyes fluttered in surprise, as if something suddenly dawned on him! Then, his right arm erupted in a dazzling golden light, its entire arm seemingly indestructible like diamond! Unfortunately, even with such a formidable defense, it was still slightly slowed down by the unstoppable black blade.
With a light "swish" sound, the black blade flashed across the night sky like lightning, and came down at an astonishing speed, instantly chopping off the lion king's right arm and shoulder!
"Ah--!" Accompanied by an extremely shrill scream that resounded through the sky, a golden and extremely strong right arm flew high into the air, then fell heavily to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.
