Reaching out into the void, Ye Yang was quick and nimble, his speed not inferior to that of the Brain Eater!
"Smack!"
A thorny tail was tightly grasped as Ye Yang channeled True Qi, flames surging throughout his body. He spun around, using tremendous force to send the Brain Eater's body whirling!
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, the massive body of the Brain Eater, resembling a black panther, finally appeared, crashing heavily into the ground. Ye Yang unleashed a sword strike!
"Thud!"
The Blade swept through, and the Brain Eater's skull was instantly severed!
At that moment, Ye Yang understood why he had seen so many headless corpses upon entering the Azure Cloud Mountain Range. It must have been the work of this Brain Eater. If this beast truly fed on human brains, it would leave behind countless mutilated bodies!
...
Opening his right hand revealed numerous wounds covering his palm, almost a bloody mess. Fortunately, the True Qi swirling in his palm protected his meridians; these were merely external injuries and would not significantly affect his combat ability.
However, at that moment, a strong sense of danger surged over him!
Turning around, two massive shadows shot toward him!
Brain Eaters—two of them!
In an instant, Ye Yang reacted. His left hand swept out the Heaven and Earth Shield while his right hand wielded the sword to unleash Wilderness Thunder!
"Bang!"
Lightning surged amidst the flames, turning a small patch of jungle into ashes.
However, the two Brain Eaters cunningly evaded the Heaven and Earth Shield and Wilderness Thunder. In the next moment, Ye Yang felt a sharp pain in both arms!
"Thud!"
The Brain Eater opened its massive jaws, its terrifying fangs sinking deep into Ye Yang's arm.
Blood gushed forth, and Ye Yang's eyes instantly turned golden. Ancient Runes floated up on his right arm, thick Divine Power surged within him. With a roar, the Sharp Sword danced wildly!
"Roar..."
Amidst the cries of agony, one Brain Eater was sliced in half, its two segments writhing on the ground in a struggle for breath.
The other Brain Eater, however, vanished, moving like lightning. Ye Yang could only sense its presence but could not pinpoint its exact location.
Clenching his teeth, he felt intense pain and numbness in his arms. The fangs of the Brain Eater were poisoned; although it wasn't lethal, it had a significant paralyzing effect. When faced with a powerful opponent, the Brain Eater would first inflict injury on its target and wait for complete paralysis before easily finishing them off!
Of course, the toxin from the Brain Eater posed no life-threatening danger to Ye Yang. With Earth Level Seven strength, Ye Yang possessed a certain level of resistance to poison. Each time his power increased, his True Qi refined his physique and blood. When a martial artist stepped into the Stellar Realm, they would undergo a fundamental transformation in their constitution; their bones and meridians would expand and strengthen significantly. It was like a container that needed to be reinforced to withstand the immense energy of Starlight Power!
However, the toxin from the Brain Eater still affected Ye Yang, at least slowing his movements by as much as half a second!
"Bang!"
His right arm was ambushed again; the Breaking Flame Sword fell helplessly to the ground as Ye Yang's arm was too injured to even hold onto his weapon!
Clenching his teeth tightly, he endured wave after wave of impact from the Brain Eater while surrounded by swirling flames.
Ye Yang felt a clarity in his heart. He knew very well that after being poisoned, his speed could no longer compare to that of the Brain Eater. The only way to survive was to eliminate this Brain Eater; otherwise, as a newcomer to Earth Level Seven, he might truly perish under the siege of three Brain Eaters.
With determination in his heart, he decided to fight!
Suddenly, Ye Yang surged with energy, unleashing the Fire God Fragment True Qi, creating a massive firestorm within a radius of dozens of meters. A torrent of Fire God Power erupted from beneath Ye Yang's feet like a shockwave, almost instantly engulfing the surrounding forest!
"Roar!"
The fierce flames erupted without warning, sweeping through the area!
"Roar…"
The cries of the Brain Eater echoed as it writhed on the ground, scorched by the flames. The difference between Earth Level Seven and Earth Level Six was like heaven and earth; once struck head-on by Ye Yang, the Brain Eater had no chance of survival. The Fire God Fragment True Qi was incredibly powerful and overwhelming; in just an instant, the Brain Eater was reduced to ashes!
Not only the Brain Eater but everything within a radius of dozens of meters turned to charcoal. Ye Yang had nearly exhausted all his True Qi to unleash this attack. After this, he could only leave his fate to chance; even an Earth Level Three Ironback Boar could easily overpower Ye Yang, an Earth Level Seven expert.
…
"Wow!"
A sweet taste filled his throat. After sustaining heavy injuries, Ye Yang finally spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, blood splattering onto the scorched earth with a sizzling sound.
His True Qi seemed nearly depleted, leaving him unable to muster any strength. However, Ye Yang's mind was exceptionally clear; he felt an unprecedented sense of awareness expanding around him!
"This is bad!"
A strong sense of danger washed over him as Ye Yang sensed a powerful presence approaching rapidly!
"Swish!"
In an instant, a middle-aged man dressed in a gray robe appeared, carrying a long sword on his back. With his sword-like eyebrows raised high, he laughed heartily, "Ye Yang, the legendary Fire God Warrior! Haha, I never expected that I, the Ghost Swordsman Wang Kun, would have such good luck. This came without any effort at all!"
Ye Yang struggled to stand up, but his body trembled as if he might collapse at any moment.
With golden pupils fixed on the middle-aged man, Ye Yang coldly asked, "Who are you?"
"The one here to take your life!"
The middle-aged man grinned menacingly and said, "You are already a dead man. Let me tell you a bit more. I am the legendary Ghost Swordsman—Wang Kun. Who in the world doesn't know my name? This time, that old bastard Peng Feng entrusted me to enter the Azure Cloud Mountain Range to deal with the legendary Fire God Warrior. I thought it would be a lot of trouble, but finally, I've gotten this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Those beasts really helped me out a lot!"
Ye Yang silently cursed his luck; indeed, that old man Peng Feng still wanted to get rid of him and even sent a master like the Ghost Swordsman to finish him off!
Looking up, Ye Yang saw that Wang Kun had already grasped the black long sword behind him. The blade shimmered with deep azure True Qi. Clearly, Wang Kun had reached the peak stage of Earth Level Eight. Even at his prime, Ye Yang might not have been able to defeat him. Now that his True Qi was exhausted, winning against Wang Kun was impossible.
"Swish!"
The golden hue in Ye Yang's pupils slowly faded away. He finally no longer had any True Qi left to support his Fire God Warrior transformation state. The flames and runes on his arms dissipated completely, returning to normal in an instant. Leaning on the Breaking Flame Sword in his hand, he looked at the Ghost Swordsman Wang Kun with eyes full of anger and unwillingness.
