Chapter 278
The ground near the city gate was already thoroughly devastated, reduced to a barren wasteland.
However, the energy of the black-and-white sphere was clearly superior. During the collision, it actually obliterated the opponent’s black sphere, then hurtled straight toward the shadow.
"Damn it!" The shadow rapidly dodged to the side while black light enveloped its entire body, although it narrowly escaped the core explosion radius, its black shield was shattered, and its body was sent flying.
The shadow forcibly arrested its momentum in mid-air. "You... fine, you forced me!"
The shadow grew even more ferocious, with a flicker of its figure, it charged at Adam and Cecilia again.
This time, the shadow’s speed was visibly faster, Adam raised his hand and gripped the Yellow Emperor’s Sword, pointing the tip at the shadow, spiritual energy surged within his body, and like a bolt of lightning, he thrust toward the shadow instantly.
The two clashed in an instant, sword light and black light flashed rapidly, emitting violent energy fluctuations that caused ripples in the surrounding space.
Adam swung his sword like falling rain, every strike carried a fierce momentum, aiming straight for the shadow’s vitals.
The shadow didn’t show weakness either, its movements were eerie, appearing on Adam’s left one moment and his right the next, all while releasing bursts of black mist to interfere with his vision and judgment.
Yet Adam’s gaze remained calm and piercing, as if capable of seeing through all illusions, every swing of his sword accurately hit its target.
The clash between the two grew increasingly intense, the sounds of energy collisions echoing in Cecilia’s ears.
Cecilia didn’t join the fray, because that was her Young Master, he wouldn’t lose.
The current Young Master wasn’t even using his full strength.
The shadow’s power was roughly at the Second Heaven of the Deity Realm, the Young Master could absolutely kill him in a single strike.
But the Young Master didn’t do so, which meant he had other plans, she just needed to stand quietly on the sidelines.
"You are very strong, but if this is all you have, then I’m sorry, leave your life behind!" The shadow seemed enraged. Black light erupted from its body, and its height actually grew by two or three centimeters.
"Oh? You still have hidden strength?" The corners of Adam’s mouth curled up.
"Well, I’m about done preparing too."
Saying that, Adam extended a finger and snapped lightly.
The black mist surrounding the shadow instantly collapsed, dispersing in wisps to reveal its true face.
It was a young man with a ghastly green complexion, devoid of any blood color. It didn’t look like the skin of a living person.
"Impossible! The aura on my body was personally set up by the Great Emperor! How could you possibly dispel it?!" The youth’s face was filled with utter disbelief.
"Great Emperor?"
Adam frowned, how could a Great Emperor appear so soon? How was he supposed to play this game? Furthermore, if this was a power truly bestowed by a Great Emperor, even a hundred of him wouldn’t be able to break it.
"Who is this Great Emperor you speak of? Why is he here? And where did the people in the city go?" Adam fired off three questions in a single breath, he truly had too many doubts.
"If you want to know the answers, then join us! Hand over your life!" The youth charged violently at Adam, his strength visibly a notch higher than before.
But it was destined to be utterly useless, Adam hadn’t used his true strength at all just now, he had merely been swinging ordinary sword qi with the Yellow Emperor’s Sword.
Grass-Character Sword Technique, First Stance! Wither and Flourish!
Sky-filling sword qi swept out, every single strike packing astonishing power.
The youth instantly felt as if he were facing a mortal enemy, this opponent had hidden his strength too.
"Damn it!" The youth cursed furiously, hastily attempting to retreat, but how could his speed outmatch Adam’s sword?
The sword qi continuously slashed across his body, ripping open countless wounds, many deep enough to expose bone.
"Damn it!" Covered entirely in bloody gashes, the youth ducked behind a collapsed city wall, if he hadn’t protected his vital spots, he’d probably be dead already.
Adam stared at the youth’s hiding spot, his gaze profound, he had clearly seen that no red blood flowed from the wounds.
The flesh and blood inside were actually a ghastly bruised blackish-green.
This indicated the opponent probably wasn’t a normal human being.
In the next second, Adam’s figure vanished, he appeared directly in front of the youth, the Yellow Emperor’s Sword pressing against the youth’s neck, digging in a full centimeter.
"Can you answer my questions now?"
The youth’s pupils contracted violently, he hadn’t reacted at all before Adam appeared in his face, if Adam wanted to, he could sever his head in an instant.
"I told you, only if you join us will I give you answers, even if you kill me, I won’t say a word." The youth chuckled eerily.
"Besides, do you really think you can kill me?"
Adam furrowed his brows, this guy had said this place would be the end of the world, what did that mean? The Demon Race? No, the Demon Race’s core objective was total destruction, which carried a completely different meaning.
What kind of sins had this world committed to constantly face either endings or destruction?
"Then let’s test that theory!" Adam violently thrust the Yellow Emperor’s Sword forward and swung.
The youth’s head was sent flying into the air.
"Hehe, I told you, chopping off my head is useless." Yet the youth’s head, still spinning in mid-air, was actually able to speak.
Adam swung his sword again, directly cleaving the airborne head cleanly in two.
"I already told you, you cannot kill me, to me, the physical body is nothing but a hollow shell!" The youth’s voice transmitted directly from his headless body.
Adam raised an eyebrow, interesting, with the arrival of the Heaven and Earth Upheaval, all sorts of demons, ghosts, and freaks really were coming out of the woodwork.
"Then try this on for size!"
A cluster of golden flame appeared at Adam’s fingertip, radiating extreme brilliance! It was as if it were the brightest, purest flame in the entire world!
