Although he had spiritual energy protecting him, Leo could not withstand the force. He staggered back repeatedly, his face turning red as blood surged up, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Immediately after, his body was uncontrollably flung backward, crashing hard against the barrier wall.
Finally, the terrifying shockwave gradually weakened and eventually dissipated.
Leo slowly opened his eyes and struggled to get up from the ground, trying to look ahead.
Opposite him, four figures were also struggling to stand.
Sky King’s bronze shield was covered in cracks, clearly rendered useless. His right hand still gripped a battle axe, but his armor was in tatters.
Sky King was the first of the four demon generals to stand up. He straightened his back and stood tall.
Next, Drake Long, Heaven Phoenix, and Heaven Leviathan also struggled to their feet. Drake Long’s face was dark purple, Heaven Phoenix’s face was ashen, and Heaven Leviathan’s face was tinged with green and red. Blood trickled from the corners of their mouths, and their armor was riddled with cracks.
“You are merely a mortal, yet you possess such combat power. It’s truly remarkable,” Sky King spoke.
“We are only remnants of our divine souls, our combat power merely a tenth of what it was when we were alive. For you to fight us to a standstill is impressive!” Sky King continued.
“Don’t praise the enemy!” Drake Long retorted unhappily.
“Kill him quickly!” Heaven Phoenix shouted angrily.
“Time is running out!” Heaven Leviathan’s green eyes gleamed fiercely like a wolf’s.
Sky King glanced disapprovingly at the other three demon generals and pointed his battle axe at Leo with pride. “Fight again!”
This time, Sky King, Drake Long, Heaven Phoenix, and Heaven Leviathan did not use long-range attacks. They charged forward like four bolts of lightning, weapons raised.
After the intense clash earlier, the four demon generals were too exhausted to launch powerful long-range attacks again and opted for close combat instead.
Leo had used up most of his talismans and expended a lot of spiritual energy. Since the opponents chose close combat, he would oblige. He gripped the Divine Dragon Sword tightly in his right hand and charged forward.
A mortal against four demon generals in a brutal battle.
Leo pushed the Mysterious Heaven Body Technique to its limits. The barrier was filled with surging energy, shaking the earth and mountains, creating an overwhelming sense of chaos.
Using the Mysterious Heaven Body Technique, Leo combined defense and attack to fight one against four.
After dozens of bloody rounds, the four demon generals grew furious when they couldn’t kill Leo. Though they were only remnants of their divine souls, being unable to defeat a mortal with four against one was unacceptable-a disgrace!
The four demon generals roared in fury, attacking like mad tigers. They no longer avoided Leo’s Divine Dragon Sword, determined to tear him apart.
A flurry of axe shadows, hammer winds, spear lights, and icy stabs surrounded Leo ferociously. For a moment, Leo could barely defend himself. In desperation, he summoned a defensive talisman and a Berserk Talisman.
At the moment he activated the talismans, Sky King seized the opportunity and swung his axe down. Leo didn’t dare underestimate it. Using the Mysterious Heaven Body Technique, he dodged attacks from Heaven Phoenix and Heaven Leviathan while blocking Sky King’s giant axe with all his might using the Divine Dragon Sword.
With a loud crash, the Divine Dragon Sword clashed with the giant axe, creating a brilliant light as bright as the sun. Almost simultaneously, both Leo and Sky King grunted and stepped back.
As Sky King steadied himself, he used his powerful waist strength to swing the giant axe again and charged forward. The axe shadows were dense, blood splattered everywhere, and his momentum was terrifying.
Drake Long moved in first, his Meteor Hammer whistling like thunder as it attacked Leo’s back. Heaven Phoenix and Heaven Leviathan attacked from the left and right with their Trident Spear and Trident Water Piercer targeting Leo’s sides.
Leo faced attacks from all directions, his situation perilous. Having already risked everything, Leo’s bravery surged. He roared and simultaneously activated three offensive talismans-one lightning, one fire, one water-targeting Drake Long, Heaven Phoenix, and Heaven Leviathan.
At the same time, Leo gripped the Divine Dragon Sword with both hands and struck at the multitude of axe shadows with a deafening whistle.
The barrier erupted in another burst of light and sound as shockwaves spread out. Heaven Phoenix and Heaven Leviathan were shocked that Leo could still launch long-range attacks at this moment. They were hit by the water and fire talismans’ power simultaneously.
The two demon generals groaned as blood spurted from their mouths. They were flung backward and crashed heavily against the barrier wall.
Drake Long was more formidable; his Meteor Hammer clashed with lightning in mid-air, creating a dazzling display of sparks. The clash between the Divine Dragon Sword and the giant axe was equally fierce; each strike of the giant axe carried earth-shattering power.
Leo couldn’t hold out for long and retreated repeatedly. After retreating six or seven steps, a thunderous crash sounded behind him as something broke through the lightning and came whistling toward him.
Leo knew it was Drake Long’s Meteor Hammer. Alarmed, he wanted to dodge but was forced back step by step by Sky King’s giant axe. He couldn’t escape.
In a flash of lightning and thunder, Leo had no choice but to gather most of his protective spiritual energy on his back. With a loud crash, the Meteor Hammer struck Leo’s back directly through the defensive talisman.
A tremendous force hit him from behind, causing Leo to lurch forward. His chest tightened as he spat out a mouthful of hot blood. Sky King continued his frenzied axe attacks but slowed slightly due to the blood mist before him.
Seizing this opportunity, Leo endured the searing pain in his chest and launched a fierce counterattack, forcing Sky King to retreat step by step.
Using a swift maneuver, Leo’s Divine Dragon Sword struck Sky King’s right shoulder and left chest like lightning. Under the Divine Dragon Sword’s assault, Sky King’s armor was useless; blood spurted from the wounds immediately.
The pain only fueled Sky King’s rage further. Instead of retreating, he advanced with even more ferocity. The giant axe moved faster than ever as he engaged in a fierce exchange with Leo.
With each savage clash, Leo’s arms grew numb from the vibrations, almost making him want to spit blood again. Meanwhile, Drake Long’s Meteor Hammer came at him again like a deadly serpent from behind with a sharp whistle.
Heaven Phoenix and Heaven Leviathan wiped the blood from their mouths and charged again with their Trident Spear and Trident Water Piercer.
Leo felt overwhelmed by facing four opponents simultaneously. This couldn’t go on; even if he wasn’t killed outright, he would be exhausted to death!
A sudden idea flashed in Leo’s mind. He feigned an attack and then darted diagonally from the ground into the air. As Sky King’s axe came down, Leo vanished suddenly. In his surprise, Sky King saw golden light cascading before him as Drake Long’s Meteor Hammer crashed into him before he could pull back.
Sky King was startled and quickly blocked with his giant axe. With a loud crash, the barrier shook as golden light and blood shot into the sky. Under the immense impact force, both Drake Long and Sky King staggered back two steps.
Leo adjusted his stance and used the momentum to charge at Drake Long fiercely like a divine warrior descending from heaven-unstoppable. Before Drake Long could steady himself, Leo’s Divine Dragon Sword was already upon him.
Drake Long had no time to retract his Meteor Hammer and had to block with its thick chain instead. With a loud crash, the chain couldn’t withstand the Divine Dragon Sword’s powerful strike and shattered instantly.
