But his gaze remained resolute as he charged towards the King of Slaughter once more.
"You do have some skill, but in this City of Slaughter, you have no chance of escape today!"
The King of Slaughter roared, his hands rapidly forming hand seals in front of him.
Suddenly, a massive crimson magic circle appeared in the sky, from which countless crimson rays shot forth like sharp spears, hurtling towards Qian Renshang.
Qian Renshang knew the power of this attack; he channeled his dark power to its limit, forming a massive dark shield in front of him.
The crimson rays struck the dark shield, producing a series of loud "bangs," and the shield trembled violently under this barrage of attacks.
Seeing that Qian Renshang could barely withstand his attacks, the King of Slaughter's killing intent intensified.
He roared to the sky, his cry like rolling thunder, shaking the very air of the City of Slaughter.
Immediately, he stretched out his right hand, and a Shura Sword, radiating overwhelming killing intent, appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The Shura Sword was long and slender, entirely blood-red, as if cast from fresh blood. Strange runes flowed along its blade, each rune seemingly containing the screams of countless wronged souls.
Holding the Shura Sword, the King of Slaughter's aura suddenly surged several times over; the powerful oppressive force distorted and warped the surrounding space.
"Boy, today I'll show you that in this City of Slaughter, I am the true ruler!"
The King of Slaughter roared, stomping his feet and charging towards Qian Renshang like a blood-red meteor.
He raised the Shura Sword high and slashed down fiercely at Qian Renshang.
A blood-red sword aura, tens of meters long, roared out, mercilessly tearing apart the space in its path, emitting a chilling "sizzling" sound.
Faced with such a powerful attack, Qian Renshang dared not be the slightest bit careless.
His expression turned solemn as he summoned the Fallen Angel Sword with a backhand motion.
The moment the Fallen Angel Sword appeared, the surrounding dark power instantly coalesced, its blade radiating a chilling light that seemed capable of devouring all light.
Qian Renshang poured all his soul power into it, and the power of his twelve-winged Fallen Angel martial soul also flowed continuously into the sword.
"Come on!"
Qian Renshang roared, gripping the Fallen Angel Sword tightly with both hands, and charged towards the crimson sword energy.
He concentrated all his power into a single point, unleashing his strongest attack.
A jet-black sword aura shot out from the Fallen Angel's Sword, colliding violently with the crimson sword aura in mid-air.
"Boom!"
Like the collapse of heaven and earth, a deafening roar shook the entire City of Slaughter.
A powerful shockwave emanated from the two figures, spreading in all directions. The surrounding buildings instantly turned to dust, and the ground was torn open with bottomless ravines filled with churning lava.
The previously gloomy clouds in the sky were also dispersed by this force, revealing an eerie crimson sky.
Both Qian Renshang and the King of Slaughter were thrown backward by the powerful impact.
Qian Renshang tumbled several times in the air before barely managing to regain his balance.
The King of Slaughter was equally badly injured; his body swayed in the air, and when his feet landed, they left two deep footprints in the ground.
"Interesting. You're the first to survive one of my sword strikes!"
A hint of surprise flashed in the King of Slaughter's eyes, but excitement and killing intent swelled even more.
He swung the Asura Sword again, the runes on its blade gleaming brightly, and streaks of crimson sword light shot out from it like a swarm of bloodthirsty locusts, overwhelming Qian Renshang.
Qian Renshang knew the power of this attack and dared not take it head-on. His twelve wings flapped rapidly, his figure instantly becoming ethereal, weaving and dodging through the gaps in the crimson sword light.
At the same time, he continuously swung the Fallen Angel Sword, unleashing streaks of dark sword energy in an attempt to block the crimson sword light attacks.
