Leo stared at the three blood-red lights in the distance and summoned the Nine Nether Suppression Peak.
The Nine Nether Suppression Peak transformed into a black stream of light and flew out of Leo’s hand.
Under Leo’s control, the Nine Nether Suppression Peak emitted a black mist of light.
Gravity suppression!
The mist spread rapidly, almost at the speed of light, instantly covering a five-kilometer radius.
Saul and his two companions were immediately halted, an invisible pressure weighing down on their bodies.
After his breakthrough, Leo’s control over the Nine Nether Suppression Peak had significantly improved.
The black mist from the Nine Nether Suppression Peak could cover a five-kilometer radius, subjecting all living targets within to a hundredfold gravity suppression.
Feeling the immense pressure on his body, Saul knew Leo had caught up and cursed inwardly.
Saul reached the edge of the mist’s range, his internal energy exploding as he quickly broke free from the gravity suppression.
Tristen and Lawson, not far behind Saul, were much weaker and their speed slowed considerably under the intense gravity.
Leo closed in rapidly, launching both fists at Tristen and Lawson’s backs.
Two ice-condensed fists detached from Leo’s hands, transforming into two icy white streams of light aimed at Tristen and Lawson.
Sensing something, both turned to resist the immense pressure.
Seeing the incoming white light, they hesitated not at all, releasing their energy to form blood-red shields in front of them.
Boom! Boom!
The ice-condensed fists shattered the blood-red shields and heavily struck Tristen and Lawson’s chests.
Both spat blood simultaneously, their bodies flying backward and crashing into the forest below.
Their bodies broke dozens of trees before creating two large craters on the ground.
Saul paused and turned back. Seeing his two junior brothers hit the ground, a cold glint flashed in his eyes before he turned again and sped towards the spatial rift without slowing down.
Leo summoned the Purple Radiance Dagger, killing Lawson and Tristen instantly before chasing after Saul again.
Soon, Saul reached the West Sea coast.
Ahead lay the vast expanse of the West Sea.
“You can’t escape. I told you, I will keep you in this world forever,” Leo appeared behind Saul.
Leo released a talisman.
Suddenly, a massive wave hundreds of meters high rose from the sea, crashing towards Saul.
Saul’s eyes darkened. With a shout, he raised his right hand, shattering the giant wave from afar.
The shattered wave turned into countless water droplets, falling like torrential rain from the sky.
Taking advantage of this moment, Leo flashed and appeared in front of Saul.
Hovering above the sea, Leo stood on his sword, his cold gaze fixed on Saul.
Saul’s hair was disheveled, his eyes blazing red. “Do you think you can stop me from returning?”
Having been caught by Leo, Saul no longer intended to run.
If he couldn’t defeat Leo, the immense shame would severely impact his mental health, creating psychological barriers to future cultivation breakthroughs.
To avoid such obstacles, he had to kill Leo at all costs.
Saul’s powerful energy surged like a blood-red river, covering half the sky.
The salty sea breeze was suddenly replaced by a thick aura of bloodlust.
“Not only will I stop you, but I will also kill you here!” Leo’s voice was resolute.
Leo extended his hands, releasing a torrent of energy that gathered above his head to confront Saul’s power.
Both men rapidly formed hand seals.
“Blood Demon Devours Soul!” Saul’s face twisted as he completed his seal with a shout.
As his shout fell, the blood-red energy in the sky condensed into a massive blood-red figure.
The figure stood dozens of meters tall, clad in armor and wielding a spiked giant hammer.
A terrifying aura of bloodlust emanated from the blood-red giant, creating an overwhelming sense of dread.
Above Leo’s head appeared a gigantic blue turtle with a coiled blue serpent on its back-the image of Black Tortoise.
Saul’s face turned icy as he pointed at Leo from afar.
The blood-red giant swung its massive hammer down towards Leo and Black Tortoise above him.
Though startled, Leo was unafraid. The divine technique he used was taught by Giant Turtle-the Sacred Black Tortoise.
When used near water, its attack power was greatly enhanced.
As the giant hammer was about to strike Black Tortoise, the serpent on its back suddenly vanished.
Boom!
The giant hammer struck Black Tortoise’s shell with an earth-shattering explosion, sending powerful shockwaves that stirred up massive waves.
The giant hammer shattered while Black Tortoise remained unscathed.
Then, the serpent reappeared on the blood-red giant’s body.
As it coiled tighter, the blood-red giant’s body turned into a mist of blood-red energy.
In Saul’s horrified eyes, the serpent lashed its tail at him.
Saul tried to dodge but couldn’t escape in time.
The serpent’s tail struck Saul hard.
He spat blood as his body flew back like a cannonball.
With a dull thud, Saul crashed onto the beach.
His inner armor shattered completely.
Breathing heavily, Saul struggled to stand up from the ground, his face twisted and eyes red like an injured lone wolf.
At that moment, a purple light flashed in Saul’s eyes.
He suddenly felt a cold pain in his neck.
As blood gushed from his neck, his vision and consciousness began to blur.
“You… dare kill me…”
“My life jade tablet is in Bloodsoul Sect. If I die, Bloodsoul Sect’s experts will track down Earth. By then, everyone in this world, including you, will die without a burial place…”
Saul’s voice was filled with endless venom as he spoke indistinctly.
Leo flashed in front of Saul and swung his Dragon Sword, decapitating him instantly.
Saul’s headless body collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Without reaching Spirit God level, there would be no Spirit Core. Thus, Leo wasn’t worried about Saul surviving.
