Free Web NovelChapter 559: Chapter 388: Slaying the Great Demon Below! (Double Release)
There was no time to communicate with Yang Zhen and others before hurriedly leaving the place again.
Song Changming’s sequence of six consecutive strikes greatly aided the army’s battle.
By eliminating six of the strongest rat demon generals, the pressure on their side was significantly reduced.
However, the true key to the army and Lei City’s survival depended on the showdown with the Rat King above!
It’s not necessary to truly slay the Rat King, but no matter what, the great demon must be firmly held back to prevent rampage!
On the dome, thunderous explosions roared frantically.
With Song Changming no longer containing the foe, Xia Shangzhen and Wang Tianshuang found the battle becoming quite strenuous.
Wang Tianshuang shouted, wielding his three-pointed saber, leaping forward to strike, the blade violently smashing onto the Rat King who had transformed into humanoid form.
The Rat King’s right hand suddenly transformed into a beast claw, forcefully enduring Wang Tianshuang’s strike.
The two forces of thunder power eroded each other, showing no concession.
After Song Changming cut off the black spikes on the Rat King’s head, the thunder power it controlled visibly weakened in potency.
Thus, Wang Tianshuang could confront the Rat King head-on and barely hold his ground in a single exchange.
"Your flesh must be succulent!" the Rat King buzzed, suddenly opening his mouth wide, its entire face transforming into a rat head, inflating like a balloon in the wind, enough to truly swallow Wang Tianshuang in one bite.
Wang Tianshuang was just about to pull back his saber but found his three-pointed saber firmly clamped in the Rat King’s claw, unable to retract.
Fortunately, at this moment, Xia Shangzhen came from the side, delivering heavy palm winds one after another, continuously striking the Rat King’s face.
The strength was noticeably greater than before, veins bulging on Xia Shangzhen’s forehead and neck, his visage fierce, completely devoid of initial grace, obviously giving his all!
After several palms, even the hardy and resilient body of the great demon, the Rat King, was dazed and disoriented, its face turning bloody and mutilated.
The Rat King let out a sharp wail, its claws swung wildly, once again showcasing the great demon’s formidable strength.
As several thunder claws struck down, both were further wounded, their offensive collapsing, almost being simultaneously knocked flying.
At this time, the Rat King suddenly grabbed Wang Tianshuang once more, attempting to send him into its agape mouth.
"Brother Wang!" Xia Shangzhen exclaimed in shock, trying hard to hold steady but unable to halt his retreat.
The shift in situation occurred too swiftly, and Wang Tianshuang found it tough to break free.
At this perilous moment, Song Changming finally arrived.
He actually hadn’t delayed much time, but upon return, the two were already in extreme danger.
It was evident, despite the injured state of the Rat King, the pressure it imposed on them was immense!
A slight mistake, and the trio would face only death and injury, becoming mere nourishment for the great demon’s recovery.
Song Changming seemingly appeared beside Wang Tianshuang in a flash, raising his saber in readiness.
The demon ape graffiti reappeared on his right arm.
The Rat King’s eyes widened in shock, looking at Song Changming.
In a daze, the severely injured Rat King heard an earth-shattering ape howl, making its heart skip a beat!
This had never occurred before, but now, amidst its layers of injuries, it instead sensed the ancient aura emanating from Song Changming.
The long blade turned crimson red, slicing through with the added boost from the agility seal.
This time, one of the Rat King’s arms was directly severed!
Wang Tianshuang broke free, escaping death!
However, being a man of courage befitting a Grand Marshal, he didn’t retreat in panic; instead, he seized the advantage to counterattack.
"Die for me!"
The three-pointed saber swung up, crashing onto the Rat King’s face.
At such close range, the recently amputated Rat King had no time to defend, getting stabbed squarely by the three-pointed saber.
The blade pierced deeply into the eye socket, shattering the Rat King’s left eye!
The Rat King let out a howl of pain, pulling away amidst a storm of demon Qi before the two could strike again.
Song Changming pursued relentlessly without hesitation.
He, currently possessing the demon slayer traits, maintained his strength and state optimally.
Wang Tianshuang, though gravely injured, gritted his teeth and followed as well.
He knew clearly, the opportunity was rare; if missed, the Rat King might escape.
At this moment, the Rat King indeed desired escape.
First, because it was severely wounded; second, too much time had elapsed.
In its plans, it should have breached the grand city’s protective array by now, indulging in the human race’s blood feast throughout the city.
Never did it expect the city defense array to be untouched until now, and itself nearly slain by three martial artists not yet at grandmaster level.
In this scenario, despite the shame, it had no choice but to flee.
Otherwise, once grandmaster powerhouses joined the fray, it wouldn’t even know how it perished.
Only, it didn’t realize the three before it didn’t merely seek to stall but aimed to kill it all along!
Just as the Rat King was about to retreat, Xia Shangzhen waved both hands, releasing a massive black wind, engulfing the Rat King to blockade it.
The Rat King felt as though a black mountain pressed down, restrained by the heavy wind, with its mobility drastically reduced.
Already an one-eyed, one-armed state, it looked around, seeing nothing but a black expanse.
Having fought until now, for the first time it felt a bit panicked.
Forcing its body to move, it instinctively intended to burrow and escape underground.
Yet Song Changming and Wang Tianshuang, well aware of its earth drilling tendency, emerged from the black wind, holding it tightly.
No matter how it roared and went berserk, it struggled to reach the ground.
"Did you really think a few trash like you could kill me!" Kang Jin Rat King roared, its body’s spines all at once erupting with thunder light.
In an instant, golden thunder flooded the entire black wind field, covering it completely.
