Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 551 Second Rank, Kill!

Liang Jin's punch was the ultimate killing punch of the "Great Demon Subduing Fist of the Realm" - the Realm Annihilation Demon Subduing Explosion!

His Taiping Dao clone once used this move to defeat four masters of the imperial court with a single punch!
Now, Liang Jin's move is a killing blow.

His goal was to catch both joy and sorrow off guard!
As he thrust his fist forward, a thick, straight beam of energy instantly enveloped the joy and sorrow within it.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!!"

Wherever the beam of light passed, the ground seemed to be cleaved open by a giant axe, revealing a bottomless ravine, with rubble shooting out in all directions like bullets.

Those watching from afar felt a sharp pain in their eardrums, and their warhorses knelt down, emitting terrified neighs.

Even rocks turned to dust under this terrifying beam of light and scattered with the wind.

Even the billowing smoke and dust surged and churned under the beam of light, constantly being dispersed.

However, something unusual soon occurred.

Light has been bent!

In theory, light travels in a straight line.

But in reality, there is no straight line of light.

Because gravity causes spacetime to be curved everywhere, light naturally travels in a curved spacetime, which is also curved.

But the bending of light is often difficult for people to perceive.

However, the curvature of the beam of light that Liang Jin unleashed was clearly visible to the naked eye.

To outsiders, there was no way of knowing what had happened.

Because the beam of light was so dazzling, it illuminated the entire night sky, making it as bright as day.

The intense light made it impossible for onlookers to look directly at it or see anything clearly; all they could see was a blinding white blur.

However, Liang Jin was able to see it clearly.

Within the pillar of light, joy and sorrow struggled to resist.

The golden vortex in his palms spun wildly, drawing in and swallowing much of the energy from the pillar of light, making it appear as if the pillar itself was bending.

The Great Compassion Hand indeed possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities.

Master of Sorrow and Joy, relying on his Great Compassionate Hand, withstood most of the force of the punch.

However, this only applies to the majority.

Because of the continuous bombardment of energy, it gradually exceeded the limits of the Great Compassionate Hand of Sorrow and Joy.

This caused the remaining energy to continuously fall on Beihuan, causing Beihuan's skin and flesh to become charred and cracked.

"Can you stop it?"

Liang Jin focused intently, continuously pouring all his strength into the process.

This punch was a punch delivered with all one's might.

They used all of these techniques: Overlord Armor Removal Skill, Hundred Evil Body Technique, Realm Great Demon Subduing Fist, Dawn Fist Intent, Tiger Subduing Pill, Blue Soul Jade, and Divine Dragon Arm.

This is also the first time Liang Jin has used all his strength and means in a one-on-one situation.

This made the power of his punch reach an incredibly terrifying level.

Even the terrifying power of this punch startled the Demon Slayer King standing nearby.

The Demon King's eyes widened, and his lips trembled slightly:

"This...this is the intent of fist?!"

"Isn't this kid a gun user? Isn't his martial intent spear intent?"

"Why is he even able to condense his fist intent? Why is his fist more powerful than a gun?"

"Could it be... dual martial intent? How old is he? How is that possible?!"

The Demon King vaguely recalled that Liang Jin had also used his fist technique in the Hidden Wind Valley.

However, Liang Jin was too weak at that time, and the Demon Slayer King's attention was always on the armored man, so he had no time to pay attention to Liang Jin.

That's why the Demon Slayer King was shocked when Liang Jin used such a powerful fist technique today.

It was this sudden and intense shock that caused the Demon Slayer King to forget to intervene and maintain the balance of the battle for a short period of time.

Even he felt threatened when faced with that punch!
Outside the battlefield, everyone was stunned by this scene.

"Wow...that was a really powerful punch!"

They lacked the discerning eye of the Demon-Slaying King and couldn't see through the mystery of that punch.

However, they could also sense from their instincts that this punch was far too powerful!
Looking at the punch, Wang Huaishuang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Master Beihuan shouldn't have much of a problem facing this punch, right?"

The power of that punch made her equally terrified.

But in her heart, no matter how strong Liang Jin was, he could not compare to Master Beihuan.

Master Beihuan is the main force to deal with the Demon King tonight. She invited Liang Jin here to assist Master Beihuan.

at this time.

The beam of light vanished abruptly!

The entire sky was once again shrouded in darkness.

The crowd was momentarily stunned, and those with poor martial arts skills even experienced temporary visual impairment.

Liang Jin's punch finally came to an end.

This punch almost drained Liang Jin's internal energy, making him feel a sense of emptiness.

Fortunately, he still has an extremely strong physical body, which allows him to maintain his fighting ability.

At the very moment the beam of light ended.

A figure fled into the distance at an extremely fast speed.

"Want to escape?"

"So decisive?"

Liang Jin squinted.

Those who flee experience both joy and sorrow!
He blocked Liang Jin's punch just now.

However, he paid a considerable price for this.

Master Beihuan's flesh charred and burst open instantly under the high temperature, and the sorrowful head of his junior brother hanging on his chest also melted in the high temperature and stuck to his body.

His muscles were severely damaged, with many places where the skin was torn open and the bones were exposed.

The scene was extremely tragic.

However, this injury is not fatal for a second-rank martial artist.

It wasn't even considered a serious injury.

Even joy and sorrow still possess a certain fighting power.

But for masters like those of joy and sorrow, they often see further than others.

When he himself was injured while Liang Jin was completely unharmed, Bei Huan knew that he was likely to lose today.

In a battle between masters, sometimes a single decisive move can determine the outcome.

Since they were destined to lose, Bei Huan turned and fled without hesitation.

He no longer had the strength to face Liang Jin and the Demon King; continuing the entanglement would only put him in danger.

Although he still has enough trump cards to save his life, they are no longer worth using.

Therefore, he decisively withdrew.

This is the best and most cost-effective option, only requiring the loss of some face and reputation.

Outside the battlefield.

Wang Huaishuang's face turned deathly pale, and the long sword slipped from her hand without her realizing it.

"Master of Sorrow and Joy... actually escaped?"

A top-tier expert of the second rank, after blocking Liang Jin's punch, actually turned around and ran away?
Her mind went blank, and she couldn't accept the outcome for a moment.

She once thought Liang Jin was just a pawn who could assist the Master of Sorrow and Joy, but now it seems that this pawn has the ability to overturn the chessboard.

"No...impossible..."

She muttered to herself, her eyes filled with terror and resentment.

In the battlefield.

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Liang Jin's vertical pupils:
"Can you escape?"

A fierce wind suddenly swept over Liang Jin, and he was about to chase after the sorrow and joy.

But the next moment, he turned his gaze to another direction:

"Ok?"

"You're running away too?"

The figure of the Demon Slayer King quickly disappeared into the night, fleeing into the distance.

Although the Demon King had been momentarily distracted, he had already regained his senses.

Even joy and sorrow have fled.

He was no match for Liang Jin on his own.

Liang Jin is a monster!
Not only is he physically strong, with attack power comparable to a second-grade martial artist, but he also possesses both fist and spear intent.

As for the Demon Slayer King himself, he hadn't even been able to condense any martial intent.

Previously, relying on the power of joy and sorrow, the Demon Slayer King was able to deal with this kind of monster.

He was unwilling to fight Liang Jin to the death alone now.

So he decisively turned around and ran away.

Who should I pursue?

Liang Jin hesitated as he watched the two figures fleeing in opposite directions.

But the situation did not allow him much hesitation.

Both the Sorrowful and the Evil-Slaying King are masters of light-footed skills.

"No one can escape!"

He quickly made up his mind.

Immediately, Liang Jin raised his hand sharply, and the surrounding dust rose into the sky again, obscuring the view of those around him.

Then, a ferocious figure appeared out of thin air in the distance.

An aura of rage, arrogance, bloodlust, and evil surged from him like a raging wave.

The figure was dressed in a ferocious suit of armor, exuding an extremely imposing aura.

The armor covered the man's entire body, leaving only his eyes exposed.

And those eyes were flashing with a scarlet light.

This person was none other than the War Puppet Iron Madman.

The moment the War Puppet Iron Madman appeared, it swiftly darted through the dust and smoke, chasing after Sorrow and Joy.

Liang Jin then flashed away and chased after the Demon Slayer King.

"call!!!"

Amidst the howling wind, Liang Jin moved at an extreme speed.

The Demon Slayer King possessed exceptional lightness skills and was incredibly fast; he had already plunged deep into the wilderness.

But Liang Jin was faster and quickly caught up with him.

"Your Highness, don't run away!"

"Our feud should have ended long ago!"

"You got away with it last time, but this time I won't let the same thing happen again."

Liang Jin's voice was low and cold, full of sarcasm.

The dragon claw, like a giant pincer, reached out to grab the Demon Slayer King.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Slayer King flew into a rage:
"Boy, I'm being lenient by leaving you, don't push your luck!"

As he spoke, he turned around and slashed at Liang Jin with his sword.

As soon as the sword energy surged forth, Liang Jin advanced instead of retreating, seizing the blade of the Demon King before the Demon King's strike could fully take shape.

A glint of malice flashed in the eyes of the Demon Slayer King:
"Break it for me!" His wolf-tooth sword had been captured and melted by the war puppet Iron Madman.

But that's because the War Puppet Iron Frenzy has an indestructible suit of armor protecting it.

And this Liang Jin dares to grab the knife with his bare hands? Isn't that just courting death?
"when!!!"

The Demon King's blade slashed fiercely at Liang Jin's claws.

The expected severed hand did not occur; instead, a metallic clanging sound was heard, and sparks flew.

"what?!"

Upon seeing this, the Demon King's pupils suddenly contracted.

He clearly had no idea that his divine weapon would be unable to harm Liang Jin's claws.

Liang Jin sneered:
"How could a frog at the bottom of a well know the power of my Dragon Claw?"

If Liang Jin were to use any part of his body to withstand a blow from the Demon King, he really wouldn't have the confidence.

But if the Divine Dragon Claw were to catch the blade barehanded, Liang Jin would be absolutely certain of victory.

His claws gripped the Demon King's longsword, and with a sudden burst of force, he twisted the blade into a pretzel.

The Demon King's expression changed drastically, and he withdrew without hesitation.

Liang Jin was about to give chase.

Suddenly, a dazzling purple light surged from the palm of the Demon Slayer King.

"Soul Jade, I have one too!"

"And mine is of a higher grade than yours!"

It turned out that the Demon Slayer King had actually taken out two purple soul jades and held them in his palms.

The two purple soul jades shone brightly, clearly indicating that they had been activated.

Each piece of purple soul jade is equivalent to a strike from a second-grade martial artist.

Now that two purple soul jades have appeared at the same time, it clearly means that Liang Jin is facing attacks from two second-rank martial artists simultaneously!

This doesn't even include the Demon Slayer King!
"The foundation of a second-grade martial artist is indeed not to be underestimated."

Liang Jin only had one blue soul jade, while the Demon Slayer King gave him two purple soul jades, showing his immense wealth.

Envious, Liang Jin retreated hastily without hesitation.

He was under a lot of pressure facing such a fierce offensive.

At this moment, the purple light had already enveloped the heavens and earth, and the techniques within the two soul jades had been unleashed.

A terrifying power instantly spread out, and a sharp sword aura and a domineering saber aura, like two giant dragons, fiercely attacked Liang Jin.

Although Liang Jin avoided some of the attacks, he still had to face most of them.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Liang Jin immediately chose to fight back.

"bring it on!"

He raised his dragon arm and fiercely grabbed at the two attacks.

"boom!!!!!!"

A terrifying power spread across the heavens and earth at that moment.

The ground where the two sides fought was blasted open, creating what looked like a crater.

The attacks from these two Soul Jade caused large patches of scales to fall off Liang Jin's Divine Dragon Arm, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

"I'm bleeding……"

This was the first time Liang Jin had injured and bled the Divine Dragon Arm since he obtained it.

The Divine Dragon Arm can withstand direct attacks from divine weapons, but it ultimately cannot completely withstand the full force of a second-grade martial artist's attack.

Suddenly!

A figure had already appeared behind Liang Jin.

It was actually the Demon Slayer King!
It turned out that while Liang Jin was resisting two attacks from the purple soul jade, the Demon Slayer King had used a strange movement technique to get behind Liang Jin.

He raised his fist and punched Liang Jin in the back!
"go to hell!"

This is his real killer move!
At this moment, Liang Jin was defending against the attack of the purple soul jade, leaving his back wide open and giving him no chance to defend against the sneak attack of the Demon Slayer King.

This punch will either kill Liang Jin or seriously injure him!

Just as the Demon King was about to unleash his punch, a bizarre scene suddenly appeared.

On Liang Jin's back, a large area of ​​twisted and knotted black muscles surged continuously, and an arm suddenly burst out from the black muscles!

This hand was completely black, a pure black that was chilling.

It was as if its surface had no skin at all, and was entirely composed of an unknown substance.

The muscles on it looked like black earthworms, constantly wriggling, emanating a chilling aura.

Its fingers were much longer than those of a normal person, with sharp, black nails that gleamed with a cold, icy light.

"what?!"

The Demon King was shocked and his face was filled with disbelief.

But that arm had already thrown a punch without hesitation.

A bright beam of light immediately enveloped the Demon Slayer King!

This black arm has actually unleashed the ultimate killing fist of the "Great Demon Subduing Fist": World Annihilation Demon Subduing Explosion!

In a duel between experts, the same move is usually not used twice.

Especially the killing moves.

Liang Jin had already used this punch against Bei Huan before. If he were to use it against Tu Xie Wang again, Tu Xie Wang would easily dodge or block it.

But now the opportunity is just too good.

The Demon King was close enough to Liang Jin, and he had no idea that Liang Jin had a third hand.

Therefore, when Kui Bi unleashed the Boundary Annihilation Demon-Subduing Explosion with his fist, at such close range, Tu Xie Wang had no way to avoid it and was hit by the punch.

soon.

The purple light disappeared.

The white beam of light also disappeared.

The world turned dark again.

The world was silent.

Liang Jin's massive figure slowly descended from mid-air.

His arms were covered in blood, many of his scales were shattered, and some wounds were so deep that the bone was visible.

Such a serious injury means he will need to rest for a period of time to fully recover.

Although the Divine Dragon Arm was injured, its formidable resilience still helped Liang Jin withstand the attacks of the two purple soul jades.

"Da da da."

Liang Jin took a step forward and came to the front of the Demon Slayer King.

At this moment, Tu Xie Wang lay weakly on the ground, with a large hole in his chest.

This large hole was created by the "Kui Arm Punch World Annihilation Demon-Subduing Explosion" from behind Liang Jin.

Despite his desperate resistance, Tu Xie Wang was still severely injured by this punch.

The large hole in his chest was terrifying; an ordinary person would have died long ago from such a severe injury.

But Tu Xie Wang was, after all, a second-rank martial artist, and was still able to stubbornly survive.

"Why……"

"You have another trick up your sleeve?"

The Demon King struggled to raise his head, his eyes filled with resentment and despair.

If it weren't for this third hand interfering, Tu Xie Wang believed he would have won by now!
Liang Jin looked down at the Demon King on the ground, his eyes cold as ice:
"Actually, I don't quite understand why either."

He accidentally touched a drop of black blood, and from then on, he had an extra hand.

If you asked him to explain the mystery in detail, he really couldn't.

The Demon Slayer King said bitterly:

"You freak!"

"Back in Hidden Wind Valley, I should have killed you first!"

Liang Jin nodded:
"You're right, it's a pity the chance is gone."

After saying that, Liang Jin's Dragon Claw slammed down.

"boom!!!"

With a violent blow, the Demon Slayer King's head finally shattered under the dragon's claws.

For a second-rank martial artist, Liang Jin wasn't absolutely certain that the opponent was dead unless his head was smashed.

Thus, this once invincible second-rank martial artist finally met his demise.

Liang Jin stood beside the shattered corpse of the Demon Slayer King, his violently heaving chest stirring up the still-wet blood foam between the scales.

"call--!"

He let out a long breath, the sweet, metallic smell of rust filling his nostrils, but at that moment it transformed into the most pleasant sensation.

The oppressive aura of a second-grade martial artist that had once loomed over his heart like a dark cloud finally dissipated completely with the explosion of the Demon Slayer King's head!

"I really did it..."

He trembled as he touched the cracks on the dragon's claws, his fingertips brushing against the sizzling, charred wounds, which now seemed like medals of victory.

He threw his head back and laughed, the sound of which made the sand and gravel in the wilderness tremble.

He can also kill a second-rank martial artist!
Although he relied on a sneak attack at a crucial moment, he also paid a considerable price and almost allowed the Demon Slayer King to turn the tide.

But he succeeded in the end!

Once you've done it the first time, you'll do it a second time and countless times!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In the distance, a blinding flash of lightning suddenly erupted at the horizon.

Liang Jin's laughter stopped abruptly, his vertical pupils reflecting a distorted, bright lightning bolt.

That wasn't natural lightning, but rather the destructive aura unique to the War Puppet Iron Mad Slaughter when it unleashed "Heavenly Net Kill".

Can joy and sorrow be held onto?

Liang Jin clenched his fist, and black blood seeped from between the scales and dripped onto the sand.

He knew all too well how difficult Bei Huan was to deal with. Even though his previous move, "World Annihilation Demon Subduing Explosion," had injured Bei Huan, he knew that Bei Huan's injury was not serious.

A second-rank martial artist's foundation is like a bottomless, icy pool; if one is not careful, the prey will bite back.

Especially after the true death battle with the Demon King, Liang Jin became increasingly uncertain.

"I have to go and help right away."

"We must not let the formidable enemy of sorrow and joy escape!"

Immediately, Liang Jin transformed into a black meteor and sped toward the source of the lightning.

But he had only been flying for a short while when his expression suddenly changed:
"He still managed to escape?!"

Liang Jin's face was gloomy; he already knew the outcome.

Soon, in the darkness ahead, the failed mission-wielding war puppet, Iron Mad Slaughter, flew back towards this place.

The blades on his armor still bore traces of blood, a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Iron Madman injured Sorrowful Joy, but failed to kill him.

Bei Huan's lightness skill was a notch above that of the War Puppet Iron Mad Slaughter. When the War Puppet Iron Mad Slaughter used the Heavenly Net Kill, it could not hold him back, and after that, it could not hold him back either.

With a thought, Liang Jin put it back into his inventory.

As expected, Bei Huan still had many trump cards up his sleeve, and even Tie Kuang Tu couldn't hold him back.

This made Liang Jin regret that he should have sent the War Puppet Huang Xingzi along with it.

But Liang Jin also knew that even if the two battle puppets attacked at the same time, it would be easy to defeat him with Bei Huan's methods, but it would be really difficult to kill him.

"I don't believe you'll be so lucky next time!"

Liang Jin knew he needed to become even stronger!
