My Master Knows It All-Chapter 1410 - 336_3

In the next moment, a cluster of black light shot out from his fingertips. Though it was black, it gave a visceral impression of blood spurting through the air.

Wherever the black light passed, the space shuddered violently, its fabric fracturing piece by piece, leaving behind a stark, visible trace.

The speed of this black light seemed even faster than thunder and lightning. As it traveled, afterimages appeared belatedly in the air behind it.

But in the next moment, Cao Zhen’s figure flickered again, narrowly evading the black light that streaked toward him.

All around, the spectators widened their eyes in shock. All they saw in the distance was a flash of movement, and Cao Zhen had already reappeared somewhere else.

"What is this?"

"He dodged again!"

"How can he be so fast?"

"This time, the Divine Skill released by Blood Drink Demon wasn’t impeded!"

"How is this possible? Even Divine Skills at the Golden Core Stage limit can be evaded?"

"Rumor has it that Cao Zhen doesn’t possess such speed!"

None of the observers could comprehend how someone at the Golden Core Stage could move so fast!

Cao Zhen finally understood the joy Xiang Ziyu must feel—this was the transformation brought about by reaching the Golden Core Stage limit in physical strength. However, that didn’t mean he could dodge every Divine Skill unleashed by his opponent.

After all, there was still a substantial gap between Blood Drink Demon and him. If the distance closed further, even he couldn’t guarantee evading Blood Drink Demon’s assaults.

Blood Drink Demon’s expression turned to one of visible astonishment as he watched Cao Zhen dodge his attack again and rush toward him at high speed. Mana surged from within his body, pouring into the blood-colored longsword in his hand.

As he faced the approaching Cao Zhen, he thrust out his sword with a sudden lunge.

Though the move appeared simple, it seemed incomparably ruthless to the onlookers. The angle of the strike was so cunning that it seemed impossible to imagine a more ingenious trajectory.

In Cao Zhen’s hand, the Thunder Sword gifted to him by Immortal Bi Yue materialized, striking out to parry the blood-colored longsword.

Blood Drink Demon’s face instantly twisted into a snarl. Was this an attempt to clash head-on? He was someone who had reached the Golden Core Stage limit, with his longsword infused with enchanted mana—what could Cao Zhen use to compete with him?

His aura surged to its peak in an instant, and the longsword in his grasp became surrounded by dense, pulsating strands of black demonic qi.

In the next instant, his sword collided with Cao Zhen’s blue sharp sword.

The clash of the two swords rang out with a resounding and piercing "clang," so loud it felt as if the void itself had shattered. At the point of impact between their blades, a massive burst of sparks exploded, sharp and dazzling like wildfire.

As the collision unfolded, Blood Drink Demon felt an unparalleled force surge forward. The power was so overwhelming that his wrist trembled involuntarily, a sharp pain radiating from the base of his hand. The sensation spread, numbing his entire arm and forcing his body to stagger backward uncontrollably.

His gaze at Cao Zhen was full of amazement!

"What’s happening?"

"Blood Drink Demon was forced back?"

"How could this be possible? Blood Drink Demon is at the Golden Core Stage limit, and his mana strength surpasses that of Cao Zhen. A direct clash should assuredly end in his victory!"

"Cao Zhen has recovered completely?"

"No, Cao Zhen’s aura is still only near the Golden Core Stage limit."

"It’s his flesh—it’s the physical strength of Cao Zhen’s body!"

Among the spectators, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Only if Cao Zhen’s physical strength far surpasses Blood Drink Demon’s can such a reversal occur, forcing Blood Drink Demon back!"

While retreating, Blood Drink Demon eyed Cao Zhen warily, his voice low as he muttered, "Your body... has reached the Golden Core Stage limit!"

"Correct!" Cao Zhen laughed aloud as he raised his sword and charged at Blood Drink Demon once more.

Below them, the spectators could clearly hear their exchange, prompting a collective gasp.

"Cao Zhen’s physical body has actually reached the Golden Core Stage limit!"

"That means, now, there are two people in the Eastern Province whose bodies have reached the Golden Core Stage limit!"

"Previously, Cao Zhen’s physique was far from the Golden Core Stage limit. After being injured, how has he instead reached it now?"

"His physical body is at the Golden Core Stage limit, while his mana is close to it. Which means, he’s probably stronger now than he was before being injured!"

"Although we don’t know the extent of Blood Drink Demon’s physical strength, it’s certain that he’s far from approaching the Golden Core Stage limit!"

"In this comparison, Cao Zhen is undoubtedly stronger!"

"Blood Drink Demon is doomed!"

The members of the Three Great Demonic Sects looked increasingly grave, especially Boiling Blood Demon of the Weeping Blood Demon Sect. Initially, he thought that bringing Blood Drink along would make it easy to crush Cao Zhen.

This would enhance Blood Drink Demon’s reputation, paving the way to unseat that woman from the Grand Elder position. But who would have thought that Cao Zhen’s body had reached the Golden Core Stage limit?

Achieving the Golden Core Stage limit physically is far harder than reaching it through mana—a hundredfold harder!

Among the many individuals in the Eastern Province who have attained the Golden Core Stage limit through mana, there had previously been only one with a body at the Golden Core Stage limit: Xiang Ziyu!

Originally, Boiling Blood Demon believed their calculations to be flawless, forcing Cao Zhen into an obligatory fight. But now, it seemed that Cao Zhen had outmaneuvered them instead.

At this moment, Cao Zhen fully understood the exhilaration of Xiang Ziyu when battling others. He didn’t bother with any elaborate sword moves, nor did he defend. He simply slashed at Blood Drink Demon with his sword relentlessly, attacking in a mad frenzy.
