Chapter 745: Decapitation
September 25, 2017
For Lan Hai Kong, experiencing the overwhelming power of breaking through the 100-point threshold was not a first.
Previously, when facing Zhang Liang, Lan Hai Kong had also experienced a similar surge in power, reaching a strength of 105 points due to the use of the Phoenix Tear, making him significantly stronger than he was now.
Having gone through this experience once before, Lan Hai Kong was relatively familiar with this realm. Regardless, he was still more adept at handling this power than Wu Yanba, who had just broken through to this level.
Wu Yanba was unaware of this situation. Although he was somewhat perplexed as to why Lan Hai Kong had suddenly erupted with power, he didn't believe that Lan Hai Kong was stronger than him at this moment.
After all, in the instant of breaking through from 99 to 100 points, almost everyone would have the illusion of invincibility. With the Demon Blade in his hand, Wu Yanba also didn't think he was inferior to Lan Hai Kong; on the contrary, with this blade, Lan Hai Kong was absolutely no match for him.
In this situation, as Lan Hai Kong rushed towards him, Wu Yanba's face was filled with contempt, as if he were looking at a moth flying into a flame.
"You barely escaped my grasp, and now you're getting cocky? You truly don't know when to die! With this divine weapon in my hand, I am invincible, unstoppable..."
"Boom!"
Before Wu Yanba could finish his sentence, Lan Hai Kong had already reached him. To avoid involving Xiao Lu Zi in their battle, Lan Hai Kong leaped from Xiao Lu Zi's body and once again sent Wu Yanba, who was in the midst of his boasting, flying with another powerful axe strike!
After gaining the upper hand, Lan Hai Kong showed no mercy. With no intention of conversing with this opponent, he unleashed the full force of his 100-point strength, relentlessly pursuing the Wu Yanba he had just sent flying.
Each time Wu Yanba was about to land, Lan Hai Kong would strike again with his axe. Although Wu Yanba managed to withstand each of Lan Hai Kong's blows, he was repeatedly sent flying over a hundred meters with each strike.
This continued for five consecutive times. The scene appeared brutal and straightforward, but in this process, Lan Hai Kong's display of power wasn't just the terrifying combat strength of his 100-point strength. It was also the martial arts prowess that far surpassed that of the Black Demon General.
Compared to Lan Hai Kong, Wu Yanba was a complete upstart, relying solely on the Demon Blade to rapidly increase his strength from 89 to 100 points within a mere seven days.
While this growth was undoubtedly impressive, and his combat power was formidable, he was still too inexperienced in the face of Lan Hai Kong's martial prowess.
Lan Hai Kong demonstrated through his actions that Wu Yanba didn't stand a chance against him. With Lan Hai Kong's will, Wu Yanba wouldn't even have the opportunity to land a blow.
After sending the Black Demon General flying five times in a row, Lan Hai Kong finally stopped. By this time, they were about a mile away from the battlefield, allowing Lan Hai Kong to focus solely on his battle with the Black Demon General.
"Damn you, how dare you treat me like this! I'll make you pay with your life!"
Wu Yanba, who had finally managed to land, was still trying to grasp the situation. After landing, he roared furiously at Lan Hai Kong, only to be met with another extreme act of violence from Lan Hai Kong—an axe strike.
For this half-demonized opponent, Lan Hai Kong didn't bother with idle chatter. In Lan Hai Kong's eyes, Wu Yanba was merely a moving treasure chest, a rare boss-level opponent, who should rightfully stand there and be dispatched with a single axe strike from Lan Hai Kong.
With the battlefield already chosen, Lan Hai Kong decided not to prepare to strike him down this time.
At this moment, each of Lan Hai Kong's attacks was no longer primarily focused on repelling his opponent. Instead, he aimed to land his blows on the Black Demon General's body with precision to achieve lethal results.
Lan Hai Kong's martial prowess was evident, even though he had only experienced this state of breaking through the 100-point threshold twice. Nonetheless, his control over this state was remarkably good.
While he might not be able to fully harness his current combat power, he could still manage at least forty percent of it, far surpassing the newly emerged and unpolished Black Demon General.
In this situation, the Black Demon General was completely overwhelmed by Lan Hai Kong and couldn't even lift his head in resistance.
If it weren't for the Black Demon General's enhancement from the demonic weapon, which significantly boosted his defense and attack, Lan Hai Kong would have already dispatched him.
After all, in terms of martial understanding, they were not on the same level. Even with Lan Hai Kong's use of an axe, a weapon not particularly suited for close combat, he still firmly controlled the rhythm of the battle, leaving the Black Demon General completely disoriented.
Moreover, from Lan Hai Kong's current battle, it was evident that his martial arts had significantly advanced compared to a year ago when he faced Zhang Liang.
Over the past year, although Lan Hai Kong had been preoccupied with various affairs, he hadn't completely neglected his martial arts training. Especially with his axe technique, he had integrated Gao Lan's "Heavenly Might Axe Technique," Pan Feng's "Mountain Splitting Axe Technique," and the recently acquired "Heavenly Might Thirty-Six Axes." Combined with Lan Hai Kong's own "Mountain Splitting Axe" and "Sea Splitting Axe," he had gradually developed his unique axe technique.
Particularly after integrating the "Heavenly Might Thirty-Six Axes," which even Pan Feng himself hadn't fully mastered, Lan Hai Kong's axe technique had reached a pinnacle, surpassing even the "Heavenly Might Thirty-Six Axes" in terms of level.
Gao Duoshao was a formidable warrior, and his axe technique was perfectly suited to his style. With each strike, he felt that if he could improve further, his axe technique would reach perfection.
Gao was still unsure how to achieve this perfection, but with his current axe technique, he was already a terrifying force to be reckoned with.
With a strength of 100 and his axe technique, Gao dominated the Black Demon General within half an hour. The general, who once held a divine weapon, now showed only madness on his face, unable to resist Gao's might.
The general couldn't understand why, despite his powerful weapon, he couldn't fight back against Gao. He wondered why his weapon, with its incredible power, wasn't helping him now.
Gao didn't understand the general's thoughts, nor did he care to. As he continued to overpower the general, he remained vigilant, sensing a deep crisis from the start. Initially, he thought this feeling came from the general, but now it was clear it was the demonic weapon.
So, while he kept the general under control, he remained cautious of the weapon. Despite his advantage, his strength was limited compared to the general's, and if the weapon unleashed its power, it could turn the tide of battle.
Strangely, the weapon showed no signs of doing so.
Gao gradually gained control of the situation, inflicting more and more wounds on the general, while the weapon remained unresponsive.
This made Gao increasingly anxious, but with no way to retreat, he had to grit his teeth and fight on.
"Why, why? Divine weapon, didn't you choose me? Why won't you give me strength?"
In the 16th chapter of the 19th book, Gao was puzzled, and so was the general under his control. The general roared at the demonic weapon in his hand.
The weapon didn't respond to his roars, but it gave Gao the chance to end the fight!
As the general roared, Gao pressed forward, his battle axe swinging in a continuous arc. He exposed the general's weakness and then struck his heart with a mighty blow, splitting it in two.
At that moment, as Gao split the general's heart, the previously unresponsive demonic weapon suddenly burst with demonic light, and a black gas enveloped the general.
The general, not yet dead, showed extreme pain. He felt his power being absorbed by the weapon, and in that moment, he realized the truth.
He wasn't chosen by the divine weapon; it wasn't even a divine weapon. He was merely a puppet, chosen by the weapon to be its nourishment as it repaired itself.
But by the time he understood, it was too late. Everything he had was absorbed by the weapon.
In an instant, the general, with his strength of 100, turned into a pile of black powder and vanished, leaving only the weapon, its black aura now subdued.
Even now, as Gao stared at the demonic blade, he couldn't bring himself to respect it. He felt the weapon's greedy gaze upon him.
Gao became alert.
But his caution was useless. The weapon, having absorbed the general, attacked Gao without command.
Gao swung his axe, ready to strike, but as his Wilderness Axe descended, he saw the demonic blade flash with black light.
To Gao's horror, his Wilderness Axe, a legendary weapon that had been with him for two to three years with barely any damage, was now broken in two.
As Gao reeled in shock, the demonic weapon lunged at him.
Gao was terrified, but as he prepared to defend, he felt his chest grow warm. A small red sword burst forth, like a flash of light, and struck the weapon.
In an instant, two terrifying forces collided, and the outcome was decided.
The one-time divine weapon, the Crimson Heaven Sword, shattered and disappeared, but the demonic light on the weapon also dimmed significantly.
"Opportunity!"
Gao's heart raced, ready to seize the advantage and attack the weapon. But before he could move, the weapon suddenly vanished...
