Chapter 636: Xu Lang: This Is My Peak State!
Clang!
Tang Heng swung his axe, and a golden slashing wave hundreds of meters in diameter burst forth, the blood mist a thousand meters high in the sky scattering from the terrifying aura.
This move wasn't anything special—it carried a pure sense of numerical beauty!
Xu Lang coiled his body, pulling Raphael's cape over himself, and teleported away.
In truth, he could have dodged the slashing wave with his own speed alone.
But he could roughly predict Tang Heng's next attack pattern, so he prepared in advance.
Tang Heng vanished from his spot, and Xu Lang disappeared along with him.
The two hadn't left this world; they were just moving at high speed.
Raphael's cape had a teleportation range of fifty meters, and Tang Heng could cover that same distance in less than 0.1 seconds!
Tang Heng was a battle-hardened fighter, not some over-leveled desk worker. With his base attributes fully boosted, he brought his entire combat prowess to its absolute peak!
The two appeared midair, and Tang Heng swung his arm.
Boom!
The axe-shaped blade wave missed its mark, crashing into the ground. The earth for kilometers around violently quaked, mud surging upward like a tidal wave, every grain of sand turning into a bullet carrying terrifying kinetic energy!
"At this rate, he'll catch up eventually!"
Xu Lang's combat instincts told him that if things continued like this, Tang Heng's war axe would sooner or later land on his head.
With that thought, the Dragon Blood Rakshasa power began to surge through his veins, his entire set of stats skyrocketing!
At the same time, the Seven Killings Blood Qi flooded his brain, turning his eyes bloodshot, filling them with violence and delirium, as if he had fallen into the abyss of madness!
The moment Xu Lang reappeared after another teleport, Tang Heng was already right on his heels. His short axe split the air, golden radiance spreading like a falling sun.
"Demon-Sealing Slash!"
Purgatory's Master swung upward, its blade releasing a sealing, pulling force that temporarily suppressed the golden radiance of the short axe.
Boom!
Blade and axe collided, a mushroom-shaped shockwave erupting at the center, like the high-temperature ring from an atomic bomb explosion!
Purgatory's Master's durability plummeted!
The short axe visibly dimmed, a crack appearing on its edge!
"This is my peak state, you scumbag!" Xu Lang, infected by madness, let out a foul mouth.
"What kind of blade is that?" Tang Heng spoke, his gaze slowly shifting upward from the clash point to Xu Lang's eyes—which were identical to his own—and his surprise deepened.
This man was crazy enough!
But not crazy enough!
"Like what you see?" Xu Lang sneered, a blood-red hue abruptly coloring his already crazed, chaotic eyes!
Abyss Demon Eye!
Crack~
A momentary gap opened in Tang Heng's mind, then quickly sealed shut, the entire process taking less than a second.
Abyss Demon Eye was Xu Lang's primary control skill, and this was the first time someone had resisted it so directly.
The moment Xu Lang activated Abyss Demon Eye, his long leg shot out in a Flash Kick.
Tang Heng raised his knee, meeting Xu Lang's kick.
In an instant, an unbroken chain of explosions rang out!
The air seemed to be ground to dust; the shockwaves from each collision rippled outward one after another like a series of explosions.
"Clang~"
Xu Lang's arm muscles bulged as he unleashed explosive wrist strength, pressing his long blade downward.
At the same time, pale purple Ghostly Deity Power, blood-red Seven Killings Blood Qi, and gray-blue Mystic Origin True Qi coiled around Purgatory's Master, enchanting it with supernatural power.
Pressure piled on layer by layer, and Tang Heng's brow furrowed.
They were both suspended in midair; he had little leverage, while Xu Lang seemed to possess an advanced floating skill that allowed him to unleash his strength without restraint.
And on top of that, Xu Lang's blade was too domineering—it had a special advantage against weapons, and the cutting force emanating from its edge sent a chill down anyone's spine at a single glance.
His own axe, though a heavy weapon, was being suppressed!
When Xu Lang fought, he didn't like to waste words, unless what he said carried special meaning.
Tang Heng had a similar personality.
Seeing that the Blood Contract power on Xu Lang's body was growing thicker and his form was undergoing a special transformation, Tang Heng immediately stopped holding back. Madness fully flooded his eyes!
Then, that madness began to spread outward, flowing through every inch of his skin, muscles, and blood.
Clang!!!
Tang Heng's strength more than doubled. With a slight push from his thick arms, Xu Lang was sent flying backward. Purgatory's Master sparked as its durability dropped once more.
Whoosh!
Tang Heng instantly appeared before Xu Lang, pressing his short axe down.
Clang!!!
Blade and axe collided, and Xu Lang was sent flying again, his sternum feeling like it had been cracked.
"Your madness hasn't even come close to true meaning. Can you feel the power surging through my blood?" Tang Heng even had the leisure to mock now, pride blooming on his face, radiating arrogance.
The Dragon Blood Rakshasa Blood Qi had fully manifested, yet Xu Lang was still being beaten back.
To break free from this game of batting practice, Xu Lang activated Ultimate Liberation.
In an instant, his soul burned!
Xu Lang's combat power abruptly shot up by two tiers.
"Feeble!" Tang Heng showed no restraint, rushing to Xu Lang and slamming a kick into him: "The power I'm using now isn't even a tenth of my peak!"
Xu Lang countered with a Flash Kick, and their legs locked together.
Evenly matched!
"You bastard!!!" Xu Lang desperately wanted to spit in Tang Heng's eyes—it might actually have some effect.
His SAN value wasn't high right now.
And once SAN dropped, ethics, morals, manners, the dignity of a strong—all of it became fake.
No one finds it strange when a madman relieves himself by the roadside. That's just what madmen do.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"
Madness seeped into every corner of his eyes and brows. Seeing that Xu Lang still had strength left, Tang Heng suddenly burst into wild laughter!
Xu Lang's combat instincts screamed a strong warning, and he pulled back.
Tang Heng's aura shot upward at a terrifying rate, like a rocket with endless fuel. The fearsome energy radiating from him shattered the earth beneath and made the very space around them tremble.
"This is the beauty of pure numbers!"
Xu Lang finally understood what it felt like to be on the other side of a fight.
He had faced life-or-death crises of this magnitude many times before, but this one was especially unique.
Because he had absolutely no idea what Tang Heng would do next.
[Nightmare Eye·Tang Heng: Attack pattern… None. Fighting for the sake of madness…]
Madness represented chaos, and this chaos was something even the Nightmare Eye couldn't predict, because it was constantly shifting.
Xu Lang didn't just stand there. The sparks from his burning soul drifted around him, making him look like a blade-wielding Ghostly Deity wrapped in blue flames.
The next moment!
The Purgatory Armor Set manifested, then merged with his body!
"King of Purgatory, give me your power!" Xu Lang's form grew taller. Already a monster after manifesting the Blood Contract, fusing with the Purgatory armor made him a monster among monsters.
The King of Purgatory, upon hearing the command, thrust his hands into the void and pulled them apart to either side, as if opening a door.
Rumble~
Thunderbolts crashed down from the sky!
The brutal aura seeping through that door made the very world uneasy!
