When had a demonic cultivator managed to enter the purgatory within the beast race’s territory?
Had the outside world undergone some earth-shaking change during the centuries I had stayed in seclusion?
As pondered the possibility, Madman quickly threw another punch.
Boom!
The deafening clash of sword and fist echoed through the purgatory. Waves of force surged outward like a raging tide. Wherever they passed, the ground split into jagged fissures, rocks shattered, and dust filled the air.
The battle between Jared and Madman had reached a fever pitch. At first, the two had fought on nearly equal footing, exchanging blows in a deadlock.
Madman relied on his profound Wandering Immortal Realm cultivation and vast battle experience. Every punch threw carried a destructive force strong enough to shake the heavens.
The punch whistled through the air, seemingly on the verge of tearing the very space apart.
Jared, on the other hand, stood his ground with nothing more than his immortal Realm Level Nine cultivation, the mysterious and violent power surging through his body, and the razor-sharp Dragonslayer Sword in his hands.
The Dragonslayer Sword danced like a living dragon in Jared’s grasp.
Sword shadows flashed, each swing releasing a deadly burst of sword energy that collided violently with Madman’s forceful fists. Sword energy crisscrossed the air, drawing brilliant lines of light that lit up the darkness around them like daylight.
The more they fought, the more alarmed Madman became. He had never imagined that a mere Immortal Realm cultivator could display such tenacity and terrifying strength.
He had expected to crush Jared with ease. But as the fight dragged on, gradually realized that Jared showed no signs of faltering.
In fact, Jared seemed to grow stronger with every strike.
Each sword swing came with unstoppable momentum, as if Jared intended to cut down completely.
As time passed, Jared began to see through Madman’s attack patterns and shifted from defense to offense.
His movements were like lightning, weaving through Madman’s punches with ease. The Dragonslayer Sword struck again and again, unleashing wave after wave of fierce sword energy like a torrential storm.
Madman was suddenly overwhelmed. He struggled to keep up, desperately blocking Jared’s onslaught as beads of sweat formed on his brow.
Each clash with the Dragonslayer Sword left his arms numb and his internal energy in turmoil.
D*mn it! Why is this kid so hard to deal with?!
Madman cursed inwardly as tried to spot a weakness could exploit to deliver a fatal blow. However, Jared’s attacks were so relentless, had no room to counter.
Then Jared seized the moment, let out a thunderous roar, and unleashed the power had been suppressing all along. His eyes blazed with madness, and the Dragonslayer Sword in his hand erupted in golden light.
A massive golden sword aura shot into the sky, radiating a world-shattering force as it came crashing down toward Madman.
Madman’s expression changed drastically. He sensed the terrifying might of the incoming blow and quickly summoned all his strength to form a thick celestial energy shield in front of him. However, faced with Jared’s full-powered strike, the celestial energy shield was pitifully weak.
The golden sword aura sliced through it like a hot blade through butter, crashing straight into Madman’s body.
Boom!
With a thunderous explosion, Madman was blasted away like a cannonball, smashing into the ground with tremendous force.
The ground was smashed, leaving a massive crater, with dust and smoke filling the air.
Madman struggled to rise, only to realize that his body had taken a severe beating. It felt as though every organ inside had been shattered, and the agony was unbearable. He looked up, stunned and unwilling to accept the outcome, as Jared approached step by step.
At that moment, outside the purgatory, Maceo, who was observing everything through the bronze mirror, was already so shocked that was at a loss for words. His eyes were wide open, and his mouth hung agape, as if it could fit a whole egg.
He never would have believed that a lowly Immortal Realm cultivator like Jared could defeat someone in the Wandering Immortal Realm like Madman!
