I slay demons and monsters in a bizarre city.

Chapter 96 The Strongest Opponent

What's happening here?
Li Changgeng was a little confused. His idea was to take advantage of the vampire Daphne's momentary lapse in concentration and stab her in the heart.

A vampire's heart is probably its weakest point, capable of killing it instantly.

Li Changgeng was thinking about how to survive. If he tried to fight her head-on, he was no match for Daphne. His Shadowless Blade couldn't break through her defenses at all. Li Changgeng hadn't expected that a vampire's body could be so powerful.

But now, Daphne, who was winking at Li Changgeng, was asking him to kill her, which made Li Changgeng somewhat hesitant to do it.

Vampires shouldn't have body temperature, but Li Changgeng could feel the warmth and even the soft, sweet scent of Daphne's skin. Her crimson eyes gazed at him with deep affection, completely bewildering him!

They weren't mortal enemies, but rather lovers locked in a bittersweet love affair on their deathbeds.

"Stab me, stab me to death!" Daphne's eyes were incredibly determined, and she even puffed out her chest. "Where's your knife?"

If you insert the knife along the third rib from the top, it will be much easier and you can reach the heart directly.

Li Changgeng's Shadowless Blade appeared with a golden light. Daphne did not hesitate and grabbed the hilt of the Shadowless Blade, making Li Changgeng a little nervous. Was she going to steal the blade?

*Thud!* The invisible blade pierced through, and Daphne's body went limp and collapsed to the ground. After convulsing a few times, her eyes turned blue, and her pupils began to dilate.

Li Changgeng concluded that this person was truly dead, as their crimson eyes had turned a normal blue.

That's it, that's the end?

He thought it would be the hardest hurdle, but it turned out to be the easiest. Li Changgeng really couldn't understand why the vampire Daphne would choose to die willingly.

Thinking about these things now is pointless. The green countdown is still at 00:00:02. Li Changgeng is now worried that the countdown will suddenly end. He didn't kill Cerberus and returned to the real world. How will the man in yellow deal with him? Will he kill his sister Li Ying?

Li Changgeng strode up the fourth step. The end of the step was very close, where there was a hero's throne cast from countless weapons, or perhaps a large bed, upon which lay a dark body, its back to Li Changgeng.

Blue flames burned around the large bed, and the thing slept soundly.

Since Li Changgeng has come, he might as well make the best of it, since life and death are the same anyway.

"Ascension!"

A blood-red phantom appeared behind Li Changgeng, its arm raised upwards, and a golden blade mark shot up from the ground.

A black hand emerged from the blue flames and snapped its fingers.

A wisp of azure flame transformed into a bird, which chirped softly, swooped down, and with a swipe of its claws, shattered the golden blade mark, turning the azure flame bird into dust.

As expected, a mere snap of his fingers broke Li Changgeng's powerful strike.

The disparity in strength is too great; there's simply no way to win.

"Human, you dare to come here? What a rare guest."

The enormous creature on the bed slowly sat up. Its hands and feet were no different from those of an ordinary person. The only difference was that it had three dog heads, or more accurately, three human heads. Apart from its dog-like mouth, its other facial features, including its face shape, were extremely similar to those of a human.

The three dog heads grew in a circle around the neck, like a circle cut into three sections, with each dog head controlling 120 degrees.

Its appearance is indeed quite bizarre, and the strength of Cerberus goes without saying.

"I'm a little curious, how did you defeat my guard? I can't remember the last time anyone could fight me one-on-one." Cerberus's overall physique was more like that of a Titan, with thick arms, large hands, and clenched fists the size of basketballs.

"Young man, have a chat with me. Or perhaps you want to challenge me? Who sent you here, and what brings you here?"

Li Changgeng felt relieved. The Cerberus's strength was far beyond his reach. Even if he were to use a knife, Li Changgeng might not be able to kill it without it retaliating. As for chatting, that would be a waste of time.

"I'm here to kill you!" Li Changgeng said bluntly, "It's that simple."

Haha... Hahaha!

The laughter of Cerberus shook the roof of the ice palace, causing many pieces of rubble to fall. The three heads moved in perfect unison.

Laughter alone possesses such immense power.

Li Changgeng's eardrums were about to rupture, but he didn't take a single step back. He needed confidence and attitude more now. If he lost in terms of momentum, he would have no chance at all.

Daphne the vampire won easily, but Cerberus was still destined to die.

"What a joke, young man. I'm standing right here, and you can try to cut me down, but you still can't. I can exhaust you to death." Cerberus stretched out its arms, and one of its three heads looked at Li Changgeng with a grin, as if it were looking at a fool.

This kid is at most a martial artist at the Earth Rank, far inferior to him.

Swish...swish swish...!

Li Changgeng slashed horizontally with three swords, aiming at the head, chest, and abdomen of Cerberus, respectively.

This is a test, to assess the defensive capabilities of these three areas under the same sword technique.

The three golden blades landed on Cerberus, but did not cause any significant damage.

"You're tickling me, hehe..."

Cerberus chuckled wickedly, "I haven't woken up in a long time and almost developed aphasia. So, keep me company and chat with me. If you make me happy, I might take you as my disciple."

"Those who rebel against me, this is their fate."

Cerberus pointed to the strangely shaped and varied divine weapons on the Hero's Throne, "These are the divine weapons I obtained after those who challenged me died. I forged them onto the weapons with blue flames. As for those who didn't have divine weapons, I cast their skulls onto them."

"Many people have been scared to death by me, and there are also fools who have knelt down and begged for mercy. What about you?"

Li Changgeng had nowhere to retreat and no way to advance, so he had no choice but to fight. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and, with the help of his sword, leaped into the air. After activating his Phantom Transformation, his speed increased significantly. The weakest part of Cerberus's body should be its neck and eyes.

If Li Changgeng doesn't take to the air, he won't be able to hurt Cerberus at all.

Li Changgeng drew his sword at the right distance in mid-air, but a thick, black finger emerged from the golden sword shadow.

The three-headed hellhound's finger pierced through Li Changgeng's sword shadow, but this wasn't the end of it.

Ouch! Li Changgeng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his sternum, accompanied by a cracking sound, as a rib next to his sternum broke.

"I could kill you with just one finger!" Cerberus didn't take Li Changgeng seriously at all; he was just playing a cat-and-mouse game with Li Changgeng.

Li Changgeng fell to the ground in agony, his muscles twitching and he was in excruciating pain. This must be due to the special restrictive laws associated with the Cerberus attack.

"Little darling, don't be afraid, I'll just poke you to death with this finger!" Cerberus squatted in front of Li Changgeng, stretched out that finger, and waved it in front of Li Changgeng.

"I poke! Ah..." Cerberus's face was contorted in rage, its eyebrows furrowed together, a pain a thousand times worse than constipation.

Li Changgeng saw clearly what was happening: a long sword had somehow been inserted into the Cerberus's rear end, in that soft spot, and it was now gushing blood...
