Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

"Take my three sword strikes."

"Sever the third chain."

Lu Chenzhou's voice fell.

The sword light that broke through the formation had already pressed down on Shen Ye's head.

This sword strike was not meant to kill.

It's about breaking the deadlock.

Wherever the sword passed, the shadowy corpses on both sides of the blood river, the dark currents spread out from the Netherworld, and Shen Ye's retreat route were all cut open with a single sword strike.

He was ranked first on the list of kings in Dongxia ten years ago.

Even if only the king's corpse remains.

Even if controlled by the blood chain.

This sword strike was still terrifyingly powerful.

Shen Ye did not dodge.

He raised his sword.

A black and gold short sword was held horizontally in front of him.

clang!

The sword light pressed down.

The stone surface of the Night-Slaying Platform beneath Shen Ye's feet crumbled inch by inch.

His arms went numb, and the burning pain from the Wang Zhan seal on his chest exploded again.

The system prompts an error.

[Detected Lu Chenzhou's Broken Sword: Break Formation.]

[Blood Chain Manipulation Level: 70%]

[Level of consciousness of the remaining soul: 20%]

[Note: Forcibly severing the corpse can interrupt the Blood Gate, but Lu Chenzhou's remnant soul will completely disintegrate.]

Shen Ye's eyes were icy cold.

"Don't kill people yet."

"Cut the chain."

Zhu Jiu emerged from the shadows.

The Nine Netherworld Shadow silently descended, wrapping around the third blood chain behind Lu Chenzhou.

But the Holy Son of Blood River was prepared.

He raised his hand and pressed down.

The third blood chain suddenly lit up.

The blood chain was covered with dense ancient vampire script, like countless open blood eyes.

As soon as Zhu Jiu's Nine Netherworld Burial Shadow touched it, it was bitten back by Blood Eye.

Zhu Jiu let out a low growl, and several bloody streaks appeared on its scales.

Blood River Saint Son smiled.

"The Night King"

"You really think the third chain is so easy to cut?"

"That's not the chain that binds him."

"That's the key to the Blood Gate."

Shen Ye's eyes narrowed.

The key to the Blood Gate.

In other words, the third chain cannot be cut arbitrarily.

If you make the wrong cut, the door will open.

Only when you cut the right door will it break.

Lu Chenzhou has already launched his second sword strike.

The flow was interrupted.

It wasn't just the River of Blood that was severed.

There's also the flow of energy between Shen Ye and the beast tamer.

The moment the sword light fell, Ye Yu's Black Sun Netherfire was sliced ​​open, Long Yuan's Battle Blood Pattern was severed, and Jie Chen's Heavenly Punishment Lightning that locked the Blood Gate was also forcibly cut in two.

The Myriad Beasts Divine Mark on Shen Ye's chest suddenly dimmed.

A chill appeared in the eyes of the Blood River Saint.

"Now, how can you borrow beasts?"

Eight corpses suddenly rose up at the same time.

Chen Beiwang's knife slashed towards Shen Ye's nape.

Zhao Hanchuan's sword pierced towards Shen Ye's brow.

The bone-armored corpse's arms were like spears, aimed at Shen Ye's knees.

The remaining five corpses leaped out of the river of blood, blocking all directions.

On the city wall of Zhenmo Pass, Qin Wuji's expression changed drastically.

"He's been disconnected!"

Li Xuance stared intently at the Execution Platform.

"No."

"It's not over yet."

Shen Ye stood in the middle of the blood river.

The Divine Beast Pattern was severed by the Severing Flow Sword, preventing the power of the four beasts from being smoothly combined.

But he didn't panic.

He simply raised his hand and pressed down on the black box in his arms.

Half of the life tablet lit up.

Lu Chenzhou's sword did indeed sever the connection between Shen Ye and the beast tamer.

But the wisp of soul light within the life tablet was not severed.

Because that wasn't Shen Ye's power.

That was the path that Lu Chenzhou left behind himself.

Shen Ye said in a low voice:

"I'll lend you my soul light."

The black box vibrated.

A bluish light surged forth.

It wasn't about helping Shen Ye kill someone.

Instead, it shines on the third blood chain.

One of the ancient vampire runes on the blood chain paused for a moment.

Shen Ye saw it.

That ancient inscription does not belong to the chain.

It's like a blood-stained nail, driven into the deepest part of the third chain.

A system notification sounded.

[Blood key nail discovered.]

[Target: The core blood nail of the third chain.]

Severing the blood nails will interrupt the opening of the blood gate.

[Warning: The Blood Nail is connected to Lu Chenzhou's remnant soul; you must first withstand the third sword strike.]

Shen Ye's eyes darkened.

First, endure the third sword strike.

In other words, Lu Chenzhou didn't want him to hide.

He needs to answer.

Only by taking the King-Slaying Sword will the Blood Nails of the Third Chain be fully revealed.

At this moment, the eight corpses had already arrived.

Shen Ye did not invoke the "All Beasts Return to One" technique.

He simply spoke:

"Each does their own thing."

Night Feather Cries Coldly, and the Black Sun Netherfire no longer tries to return to Shen Ye Sword, but instead crashes directly into Zhao Hanchuan's sword corpse.

Long Yuan laughed wildly, bracing himself against Chen Beiwang's blade.

The dust of calamity rushed towards the Blood Gate, and the Heavenly Punishment Eye reopened.

Zhu Jiu coiled at Lu Chenzhou's feet, staring intently at the third chain.

Shen Ye himself walked towards Lu Chenzhou.

The second sword strike severed the flow, slicing across his chest.

puff!

Blood splattered.

A deep, bone-revealing sword wound appeared in front of Shen Ye.

But he also used this sword strike to close the distance to Lu Chenzhou by ten steps.

The smile on Blood River Saint's face finally faded a little.

"You really dared to accept that."

Shen Ye looked up.

"One more sword."

The blue light in Lu Chenzhou's empty eye sockets trembled violently.

It looked like it was struggling.

It looked like he was angry.

It also sounds like urging.

The third sword strike.

Slay the king.

The River of Blood suddenly fell silent.

The eight corpses stopped at the same time.

The blood gate also stopped.

On the entire Night-Slaying Platform, only the sound of Lu Chenzhou slowly raising his sword could be heard.

A blinding blue light appeared on the rusty broken sword.

Ten years ago, he used this sword to slay the descendants of countless royal races.

Ten years later, this sword was controlled by the Blood River Burial Chart and slashed at the new king of Dongxia.

Lu Qingshan stood on the city wall, his eyes red, but he did not call for a halt.

He knew that this was the path Lu Chenzhou had chosen himself.

Shen Ye knew this too.

He took a deep breath.

The myriad beasts divine pattern lit up again.

But this time, he did not unify the power of the four beasts.

Instead, he suppressed all his power back into his own body.

Black-gold bone patterns emerged after the body was tempered by royal blood.

The King of Beasts unleashed his full power.

He was going to take the blow with his own body.

Zhou Xuan's expression changed drastically.

"Is he insane?"

Wei Cang said in a deep voice:

He can't hide.

"They've dodged; the Blood Nails won't come out."

On the Night-Slaying Platform.

Lu Chenzhou brought his sword down.

Slay the king!

The sword light was blinding.

Shen Ye met the attack head-on with his sword.

boom!

The black and gold short sword shattered on the spot.

Shen Ye's feet sank into the Night-Slaying Platform, his kneecaps making a cracking sound as they slammed under the weight.

The sword light pressed him as he retreated.

One zhang (approximately 3.3 meters).

Three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

Ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).

Finally, the sword stopped three inches in front of his brow.

It wasn't that Lu Chenzhou held back.

Shen Ye managed to withstand it.

Blood flowed down his forehead.

Shen Ye looked up and saw the bluish light in Lu Chenzhou's eyes.

"Caught it."

Lu Chenzhou's fingers trembled slightly.

The next moment, the third blood chain suddenly taut.

Deep within the chain, the blood-red key nail was finally exposed.

Blood River Saint's expression changed drastically.

"Stop him!"

Eight corpses lunged at them simultaneously.

But it was too late.

This is the moment that Zhu Jiu has been waiting for.

The Nine Netherworld Shadow instantly entangled the third chain.

The Heavenly Punishment of Calamity, the Eye of Calamity, and the Blood Nails of Death.

Night Feather Black Sun Netherfire burned away the outer layer of soul blood on the Blood Nail.

Long Yuan punched away the corpse blocking his way.

Shen Ye raised his sword.

The shattered black-gold short sword reformed.

This is the first complete "All Beasts Return to One" strike.

Netherfire.

A shadowy figure.

Bloodshed.

Tribulation lightning.

In addition, there was that wisp of blue light in Lu Chenzhou's destiny tablet.

The sword light fell.

Blood River Holy Son roared:

"The Night King!"

Shen Ye didn't look at him.

"Shut up."

The sword struck the blood nail.

Click.

The third chain is not broken.

The broken part was the blood-stained key nail inside the chain.

The Blood Gate trembled violently.

The bloodshot eyes on the door, which were about to open, instantly closed most of them.

For the first time, the blood-red chains binding Lu Chenzhou loosened.

The bluish light in his eyes suddenly brightened for a moment.

"it is good."

There is only one word.

It was like someone finally exhaling a breath after ten years of bloodshed.

Standing atop the Zhenmo Pass, Lu Qingshan abruptly closed his eyes.

A tear of blood rolled down his cheek.

Blood River Saint's face turned completely gloomy.

"You and your son are both a hindrance."

He raised his hand and pressed it against the Blood River Burial Map.

"Then let's not keep any of them."

boom!

Deep within the blood-stained map, eight remaining corpses burned simultaneously.

The river of blood began to surge backward.

The Blood River Saint actually offered eight corpses as sacrifices to forcefully open the Blood Gate.

Zhou Xuan's face turned deathly pale.

"He's insane!"

Wei Cang's voice was icy.

"Not crazy."

He knew that conventional methods wouldn't be enough to kill Shen Ye.

"I'm about to flip the table."

On the Night-Slaying Platform.

The blood gate reappeared.

This time, it's even clearer than before.

Behind the door, a pale hand slowly pressed against the crack in the door.

Jie Chen's hair stood on end, and his Heavenly Punishment Eyes were fixed on that hand.

Shen Ye looked up, his eyes chillingly cold.

The Holy Son of Blood River stood before the Blood Gate, his royal robes fluttering in the wind.

"The Night King"

"What if you cut off the third chain?"

"The door is already awake."

"Now, you continue to save Lu Chenzhou."

"Are you here to kill me?"

Shen Ye gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

Behind him, one of the chains binding Lu Chenzhou loosened.

But there are still three left.

Ahead, the Blood Gate behind the Blood River Saint Son is about to open.

Just a breath.

Shen Ye then made a decision.

He took a step forward.

It's not rushing towards the sinking ship.

Instead, it rushed towards the Blood River Saint.

"Kill the person who opens the door first."
