Chapter 411: Hard Kill

Li Pin strode forward confidently, sword in hand. Seeing this, Fan Xiu froze briefly." "You will take it from here?"

As far as Fan Xiu recalled, what earned Li Pin his status as a Supreme Expert was his ability to remain almost undetected when in stealth, a unique trait of the Martial God system he had created.

This allowed him to excel in reconnaissance, ambushes, and assassinations, often leaving even Legendary figures and Supreme Experts helpless against him.

But in direct combat? His prolonged fight against Xiao Qianyuan, where he failed to gain any upper hand, clearly showed that his combat strength barely reached the standard of a Legend.

And now, he intended to face a Supreme Blood Demon head-on?

Before Fan Xiu could react, Li Pin moved. An invisible force erupted from beneath his feet, accompanied by crackling blue arcs of electricity.

He shot forward as if propelled by a spring or a projectile fired from a railgun.

Fan Xiu, engaged in combat with the Supreme Blood Demon, couldn't intervene in time as Li Pin closed in on the creature.

Fan Xiu shouted urgently, "Be careful!"

Just as he was about to act to prevent Li Pin from plunging into danger, the Supreme Blood Demon beat him to the move, its reaction swift.

Propelled by the magnetic force, Li Pin approached the Supreme Blood Demon.

The towering creature shifted. Its right hand, resembling a claw, radiated intense heat, as though flames were gathering around it.

It appeared as if the Supreme Blood Demon would sidestep Li Pin’s charge and rip his frail mortal flesh apart to shreds in a devastating swipe as the two crossed paths.

However, at that moment, an invisible force field spread from Li Pin and restrained the creature’s evasive movement.

The demonic creature was caught off guard but quickly readjusted with astounding speed. The claw, originally aimed at Li Pin, twisted sharply to intercept the oncoming Sword of Destiny. As claw and blade collided, the brilliant flame in the demonic creature's palm erupted violently, as though a miniature sun had ignited in its hand.

A blinding light, as intense as a nuclear explosion, burst forth. Flames and shockwaves, powerful enough to shatter steel, exploded in the narrow space between them.

The solid ground beneath them was torn apart as shockwaves lifted the earth. Debris and dirt shout out in all directions like bullets. A crater over thirty-meter-wide in diameter, filled with flames and charred remnants, rapidly spread from the point of impact between the two.

The force of the strike was overwhelming. Any Legend would’ve been torn apart from the explosion. They would need to have donned a natal spirit armor with top-tier defensive capabilities or taken on their starlight forms to evade the fiery impact.

Despite that, when these fiery waves hit Li Pin, it was as if they encountered a mountain of indestructible gold. Sparks of electricity flickered and flashed across him as he withstood the explosive force without harm.

Even the Sword of Destiny remained steady, unaffected by the creature's fiery assault.

Fueled by electromagnetic power, the sword struck with unstoppable force, carving through the explosive flames and violently piercing the creature's claw. The remaining momentum drove its claw into its chest, and with unrelenting force, it pierced through it.

The severe injury caused the Supreme Blood Demon to let out a pained roar, its movements shifting as it desperately pulled back and retreated.

However, as it tried to escape, Li Pin raised his hand. The magnetic field reactivated, trapping the creature once again. Though it couldn't completely immobilize the creature, it slowed it down significantly.

If the creature's agility used to be five stars, the interference from the Celestial Magnetic Field had reduced it to three.

As the retreating Supreme Blood Demon struggled against the restraints of the magnetic field, Li Pin activated his Natal Planet.

The electric current generated by the friction of his cells surged through his right leg, propelling him forward like a railgun projectile. With a swift motion, he lifted his left leg and delivered a powerful kick

The power of his kick was enough to shatter a mountain.

Bang!

The shockwave exploded outward as his kick struck the Supreme Blood Demon.

The creature, weighing close to a ton, was sent flying backward for dozens of meters by the sheer Force of the blow. As it cut through the air, it generated such friction with the air that visible white ripples formed, seemingly having broken the sound barrier.

It slammed into a wall, which cracked and caved in at the point of impact. A second later, the wall collapsed with a thunderous crash, sending countless rocks flying in all directions, like bullets.

Fan Xiu, who had initially thought that Li Pin could never possibly confront the Supreme Blood Demon in direct combat, stood frozen in place. "What the...."

He couldn't process what he had just witnessed.

Li Pin had kicked away the... Supreme Blood Demon?

Who said... Li Pin could only hide?

As that thought flashed through Fan Xiu’s mind, Li Pin erupted into motion again.

Surrounded by brilliant blue lightning, he surged forward like wielding thunder, racing toward the Supreme Blood Demon that had been kicked away. As he sped forward, a deafening roar exploded around him, centered on his form. It was unclear whether the sound came from the lightning tearing through the air or the sonic boom generated by his rapid acceleration.

The Supreme Blood Demon, still pinned against the wall, had barely caught its breath before Li Pin was upon it. Without hesitation, it rolled to dodge the incoming strike.

Even so, the Sword of Destiny, with its armor-piercing properties and incredible sharpness, still cut across its shoulder, tearing a massive gash into its flesh.

"

Roar!

"

The pain sent the demonic creature into a frenzy. Using its shoulder muscles and bones, it clamped down on the Sword of Destiny while its other arm flared with fiery light, preparing to strike Li Pin.

But as the flaming claw descended, a mysterious force intercepted it mid-air.

Though the interception lasted only a moment before the creature's overwhelming strength shattered it, it was enough for Li Pin to wrench the Sword of Destiny free. With a swift upward slash, the blade met the creature's descending claw.

In a roar of agony, the Supreme Blood Demon's descending claw—or rather, its entire wrist—was severed by the Sword of Destiny's armor-piercing edge.

As he completed the strike, Li Pin's body followed the momentum of the sword, spinning in mid-air in a rapid 360-degree turn. Electricity crackled along the blade as it descended with lethal precision, aiming directly for the Supreme Blood Demon's head.

"

Roar!

"

Sensing imminent death, the Supreme Blood Demon mustered every ounce of strength, its muscles surging with explosive power as it attempted to retreat, desperately trying to widen the distance.

But... it was futile.

Under the binding force of the Celestial Magnetic Field, his retreat slowed significantly.

At this critical moment, the Supreme Blood Demon fought back fiercely. It swung its massive head, striking the side of the Sword of Destiny just before the blade could land on its skull.

Blood mixed with electric sparks exploded outward.

The impact deflected the sword's strike and continued with relentless force, crashing into Li Pin's body and sending him flying dozens of meters. Even with the protection of the Celestial Demon Divine Armor, his less-than-two-meter frame was tossed like a ragdoll.

Before he crashed into the wall, Li Pin focused his qi in his lower abdomen. With that, his airborne body suddenly plummeted toward the ground, his feet driving hard into the solid stone floor, carving two deep grooves over ten meters long.

Having regained his balance, Li Pin turned his head slightly.

The Supreme Blood Demon, still disoriented from the impact with the Sword of Destiny, shook its head violently. At that instant, an explosive surge of Force erupted from Li Pin's feet, accompanied by dazzling lightning.

In an instant, he moved faster than before, launching a fierce counterattack.

This time, he didn't even wield the Sword of Destiny.

With the propulsion from the Celestial Magnetic Field and the Force beneath his feet, he turned his body into a weapon.

Shielded by the magnetic field, he shot forward like a cannonball, with his shoulder crashing into the Supreme Blood Demon's chest.

Bang!

A shockwave erupted!

The force from Li Pin's shoulder smashing into the Supreme Blood Demon's chest once again caused the ground to crack extensively, sending countless stone shards flying.

Just recovering from its dizziness, the Supreme Blood Demon was slammed by Li Pin, sending its massive form flying once again.

It crashed into a wall over ten meters away with supersonic force, collapsing it and sending countless stone fragments scattering in all directions.

Under the oppressive force of the Celestial Magnetic Field, the creature struggled to rise from the rubble, as though it was carrying a mountain or crushed under the weight of a planet.

Before it could break free, Li Pin moved at supersonic speed and appeared before it, raising the Sword of Destiny high.

"

Roar!

"

Faced with the fear of death, the Supreme Blood Demon exploded with unprecedented strength, breaking free from the magnetic grip. Intense flames ignited on its right arm, burning brightly like a miniature sun.

An overwhelming surge of energy filled its hand, as though it sought to incinerate the void and turn Li Pin—and his descending sword—to ashes.

But this time, Li Pin gave no chance for retaliation.

With a flash of lightning, the raised Sword of Destiny descended like the final judgment of an executioner.

Its terrifying edge, accelerated by electromagnetic force, cleaved through the demonic creature's raised arm, severing it cleanly.

The severed limb, still burning with sun-like flames, exploded violently.

Heat and shockwaves spread outward, threatening to obliterate everything in their path.

Yet, with another surge of terrifying magnetic force, the explosive shockwave suddenly froze mid-air, as if it were a nuclear fusion suddenly tamed and bound.

Not a trace of its energy reached Li Pin.

The Supreme Blood Demon let out a cry of desperation, one even humans could understand, as Li Pin's Sword of Destiny descended. "No!"

In the blink of an eye, the blade sliced through its neck.

A single strike—decapitation.

Rumble!

Only then did the sun-like flames and shockwaves break free from the magnetic suppression, erupting outward in a brilliant burst.

The supreme demonic creature's final moments—the last flare of its life—erupted in a dazzling display, consuming its headless body in a sea of light.
