From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 301 - 243 Lord Level Great Demon

Beneath Black Stone City.

After a fierce exchange, Bloodline Commander Assassin was utterly shocked.

He had planned to kill this human swiftly and then return to Black Stone City to eliminate the Black Iron Dwarves.

However, the Combat Power of this human was far higher than he had anticipated, much higher.

Assassin currently held the position of Bloodline Commander, but as a member of the Royal Family, once he annihilated the Black Iron Dwarves, he could establish a domain on the Molten Lava Plain and ascend to the status of Bloodline Lord.

Thus, he was on the verge of becoming a Great Demon of lord rank.

All the Bloodline Demons within Black Stone City were under his command.

His Combat Power was so formidable that even Salein, who served the Ancestor, could not resist, so he was proud, even arrogant.

Yet this powerful being had, after dozens of exchanges, failed to kill the human before him.

During the battle, the gates of Black Stone City had already been breached.

He even heard the sound of the Blood Sacrifice Tower collapsing, a swift and dire turn of events, highly unfavorable for the Bloodline Demons.

Seeing Black Stone City breached, Assassin's eyes flickered fiercely, deciding to play his trump card and kill this damnable human.

...

Others might not discern Assassin's true class.

Lu Heng, based on his experience, could see that this Bloodline Commander, seemingly at commander level, actually possessed the Combat Power of a Great Demon at lord rank.

Individuals like him in the Bloodline Royal Family needed to conquer a territory before they could be promoted to lord rank.

This was the real reason Assassin wanted to seize Black Stone City.

Had it not been for the Black Iron Dwarves' constant assaults over three years, he likely would have successfully ascended to lord rank.

Precisely because Lu Heng had figured out Assassin's true status, throughout the fight, he had kept a trump card ready to face his true killing move.

A Great Demon at lord rank undoubtedly had more than what was shown, certainly holding back a trump card.

Possibly possessing a Third Transition Class ability.

Indeed, a Great Demon at lord rank might have a Third Transition Class ability.

Thus far, Lu Heng had only seen two of his Class Abilities.

This means he was still holding back one Class Ability, definitely a killing move.

Therefore, Lu Heng was also holding a trump card, ready to counter his ultimate move.

...

Both sides engaged in a fierce battle of strategies.

Lu Heng, utilizing Conception Level swordsmanship and Divine Embodiment, created a scenario as if two master swordsmen were besieging one, pressing the Great Demon of lord rank into retreat.

However, Assassin's solid strength was too strong; despite being on the defensive, he still withstood the onslaught with the strength of a Great Demon of lord rank.

Assassin was confident he could continue and eventually kill the human in front of him with his overpowering fundamental strength, but with Black Stone City breached, he no longer had the time.

He needed to kill his opponent quickly and then turn the tide to eliminate the Black Iron Tribe.

Moreover, he was utterly confident.

Apart from this human, no one here could match him.

Assassin waited for his Source Material Energy to fully charge, then unleashed his strongest combat power and skills, shaking out a First Transition Bloodline Class Ability, Crimson Blood.

The rolling Bloodline Energy spread out like a shockwave, enveloping all directions, leaving no space for his opponent to dodge.

Lu Heng quickly retreated, attempting to use the Windwalker's speed and high agility to distance himself and avoid the Crimson Blood.

Assassin gave Lu Heng no such chance; the moment Lu Heng flew back like the wind, Assassin once again used his Spatial Teleportation Class Ability and teleported behind Lu Heng.

Crimson Blood exploded right behind Lu Heng, at such close range there was no possibility of evasion.

This move was clearly an R-flash, normally leaving no room to react.

Lu Heng had anticipated his action; the moment he disappeared from the spot, Lu Heng unleashed the Class Ability he had been holding, Shadow Traversal, and the whole person vanished into the Shadow.

When the Crimson Blood exploded, engulfing a radius of ten meters around, even rocks were corroded by the acidic smoke from the blood.

While in the Shadow Travel State, Lu Heng quickly expanded the distance, waiting for his Crimson Blood to subside.

Assassin spread his Blood Wings and flew into the air, his gaze locked onto Lu Heng's position.

As the Shadow Traversal ended and the power of the Crimson Blood subsided,

Lu Heng emerged from the Shadow Travel State, keenly observing that Assassin's Energy Level was skyrocketing.

His eyes blazed red, obviously preparing to release a more powerful technique.

Lu Heng rapidly searched his mind, aware that this was the power of a Great Demon at lord rank, but the power types of Great Demons at lord rank were too numerous to precisely identify which it was.

As the red glow in Assassin's eyes grew brighter, and horns of a Great Demon appeared on his head, a deathly aura rolled out, sweeping across the realm.

Lu Heng took a deep breath, released his Divine Embodiment, and split his form in two, pushing the Gale Force to its limit, transforming into two streaks of lightning that skimmed the ground, rushing toward Assassin.

Divine Embodiment was already an S-level Skill, capable of utilizing the original body's skills.

Thus, both "Lu Hengs" had identical speed, movements, and skills, both initiating the Windwalker Charge.

After charging, the original and the duplicate acted simultaneously, one from the left and one from the right, both delivering the Sound Explosion Sword, striking at Assassin in the air.

With a "bang," the sound explosion resonated, unleashing two peerlessly sharp blades of light.

Assassin bellowed, raising his palm, and set up a Scarlet Blood Shield.
