Chapter 788: Chapter 788: Zhong Shan VS Kong Lietian

"With the Raven Daoist Lord keeping Di Xuansha occupied, do you think you can escape me this time?" Kong Lietian said coldly.

Zhong Shan drew his large blade, \'Nightmare.\'

"Kong Lietian, did you know? There were three opportunities where you could have easily killed me, but you didn\'t. The wounds you inflicted on me will become your nightmare!" Zhong Shan said calmly, looking directly at Kong Lietian.

"Three times?"

"This blade was forged specifically for you. From the moment Kui\'er died, I swore to kill you and honor my wife\'s spirit. The blade\'s name is \'Nightmare,\' and it will be your nightmare for the rest of your life!" Zhong Shan said with a wicked smile.

"Facing death, you still dare to threaten me?" Kong Lietian sneered, glancing dismissively at Zhong Shan.

At that moment, a surge of sword energy erupted from beneath Zhong Shan\'s feet, one blood-red and the other pitch-black.

"Immortal Execution? Absolute Immortal?" The toad Lai\'s pupils contracted.

Suddenly, a massive tail appeared behind Zhong Shan, then another, and another...

The immense Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail, a gigantic beast, slowly emerged. The tails, now a hundred zhang in size, swung around, causing the surrounding space to tremble, and the myriad sword energies became chaotic.

"A Great Thousand Divine Beast?" Kong Lietian looked coldly at the enormous Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail.

"Yes, a Great Thousand Divine Beast, more than sufficient to deal with the Immortal Execution Sword Formation!"

"Are you the one who destroyed the Immortal Execution and Absolute Immortal Swords?" the toad Lai, possessed by the Immortal Execution Sword, asked, its eyes flashing with malice as it stared at the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail.

Zhong Shan didn\'t respond. Instead, the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail suddenly expanded, growing to a size of a thousand li, transforming into a sky-covering behemoth.

The eight massive tails swung fiercely, shattering the surrounding space. The might of the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail was evident. Yet, the Immortal Execution Sword Formation didn\'t seem reliant on spatial stability; it could be maintained even within a black hole.

Despite the formidable power of the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail moved with ease within it. Perhaps due to having absorbed the Immortal Execution and Absolute Immortal Swords, the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail instinctively found the formation\'s weak points.

The Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail charged towards the southern cluster of sword shadows within the formation, the position where the Immortal Execution Sword should have been.

"Break!"

With a blood-red tail swipe, the southern part of the formation was struck, creating a massive opening. The Immortal Execution Sword Formation was breached.

Though the Immortal Execution Sword could set up the formation alone, it wasn\'t as powerful as the full four-sword formation.

"Kong Lietian, leave this to them. Follow me and settle our score!" Zhong Shan shouted from atop the immense Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail.

Kong Lietian\'s eyes gleamed with greed at the sight of the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail. What kind of divine beast was this? Why was Zhong Shan so fortunate? Why wasn\'t it his?

As long as Zhong Shan was dead, the divine beast would be his.

Kong Lietian looked up at Zhong Shan standing on the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail. Zhong Shan wanted a duel? He must be courting death!

Zhong Shan and Kong Lietian stepped out of the massive Immortal Execution Sword Formation.

The Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail was more than enough to deal with the Immortal Execution Sword Formation. As soon as Zhong Shan and Kong Lietian burst out into the open, they saw two massive areas of chaotic battle: one where Di Xuansha and the Raven Daoist Lord clashed, and the other where the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail engaged with the Immortal Execution Sword Formation.

The moment they emerged, Zhong Shan and Kong Lietian clashed almost simultaneously. Zhong Shan wielded his massive blade, Nightmare, and slashed fiercely at Kong Lietian.

"Heavenly Slash! Two Thousand Waves!"

Kong Lietian also drew a brilliant golden blade, his eyes narrowing as he swung it with all his might to meet Zhong Shan\'s attack.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion created a third black hole in the battlefield as the two powerful forces collided head-on.

Within the black hole, Zhong Shan displayed his unwavering determination to fight. Their blade energies shattered upon impact, and both combatants were thrown back.

Kong Lietian looked in shock at his golden blade. The sheer force of the collision had left his hands numb.

"Heavenly Slash! Two Thousand Waves!"

Zhong Shan\'s blade slashed down again, locking onto Kong Lietian with an unyielding force. Kong Lietian raised his blade to block.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Each clash was stronger than the last, with Zhong Shan\'s strikes growing ever swifter. The man before him was the one who killed Kui\'er, the demon who destroyed his family. He had to be slain!

The battle raged on for over a day. Kong Lietian could not believe how much Zhong Shan had grown, his strength was unimaginable. Was this the same ant he could crush at any time in the past?

Both fighters were lost in a murderous frenzy. During this time, Kong Lietian\'s hands continually went numb from the powerful impacts.

Staring at Zhong Shan\'s blade, an inexplicable fear began to grow in Kong Lietian\'s heart. The blade\'s power was terrifying; if it struck him, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"Nightmare? My nightmare? How could it be?"

"Crack!"

In another fierce exchange, a crisp sound came from Kong Lietian\'s blade as a crack appeared.

The golden blade couldn\'t withstand the force any longer.

"Shatter!" Zhong Shan shouted.

"Boom!"

The golden blade exploded into pieces.

In that instant, a crack appeared on Kong Lietian\'s forehead, and a three-colored light shot out, aimed directly at Zhong Shan.

Nightmare was brought up to shield Zhong Shan.

"Boom!"

A hole was blasted through the blade, but the three-colored divine light\'s power was reduced by eighty percent. The remaining force struck Zhong Shan\'s chest.

As his golden blade shattered, Kong Lietian didn\'t feel regret. Seeing his three-colored divine light pierce through Zhong Shan\'s blade and strike his chest, a flash of excitement appeared in his eyes.

"Boom!"

The three-colored divine light exploded against Zhong Shan\'s chest, tearing his clothes apart. Yet, despite the powerful impact, the light dissipated, failing to penetrate his flesh. Instead, it left only a red mark on his chest.

Kong Lietian\'s eyes were filled with disbelief. How had the three-colored divine light not pierced his body?

Why hadn\'t it? Zhong Shan\'s body, tempered through the Demonic Refining Art, was now as tough as a celestial weapon. Such a powerful physique could not be easily penetrated.

"Impossible! I don\'t believe it!" Kong Lietian roared in madness.

With a wave of his hand, a white light shot out from his sleeve—not just any light, but a massive iceberg. This was the same celestial weapon used by the Longevity Realm to trap Zhong Shan during the rescue of Bei Qingsi.

The celestial weapon, an enormous iceberg, came crashing down towards Zhong Shan.

Feeling the immense pressure from above, Zhong Shan put away his blade and his eyes flashed with fierce determination. Spreading his arms, he formed fists and launched himself upwards to meet the descending iceberg.

This time, Zhong Shan didn\'t use phantom punches; he faced the iceberg with his bare fists.

As he punched, wisps of white mist emanated from his fists, and tiny runes glowed upon his knuckles.

"Facing a celestial weapon with your bare hands? You\'re courting death!" Kong Lietian sneered from above.

"Open!" Zhong Shan roared.

"Boom!"

Fists collided with the mountain in a direct clash. An immense force of creation surged from Zhong Shan\'s fists, violently striking the massive iceberg.

"Boom!"

The colossal iceberg shattered and exploded.

A celestial weapon, a powerful celestial weapon, was shattered by Zhong Shan\'s fists?

Kong Lietian watched in shock, unable to accept what he saw. How could a mortal\'s body be so powerful?

The three-colored divine light was one thing, but that was a celestial weapon—a weapon this realm should never be able to possess.

Since when could mortals from the Lesser Thousand World shatter celestial weapons with their fists?

Even though Kong Lietian hadn\'t bound the iceberg with his spirit, he felt the total destruction of the iceberg. As fragments of the shattered ice flew past him, he couldn\'t recover from the shock of Zhong Shan\'s punch.

"A Profound Celestial Weapon? Are the disciples of the Kong family in the Great Thousand World only equipped with Profound Celestial Weapons?" Zhong Shan taunted coldly after shattering the iceberg.

Kong Lietian\'s face turned extremely dark as he looked at Zhong Shan. Zhong Shan had exceeded all his expectations and had to be killed. If Zhong Shan wasn\'t eliminated today, he would become a nightmare in the future.

"In this realm, you\'re the first to push me to this extent. I thought I wouldn\'t need to use this until the opening of the heavens. Today, I\'ll use you to consecrate this treasure!" Kong Lietian said coldly.

Zhong Shan didn\'t advance. He had been waiting for this moment, eyes bloodshot with anticipation. What treasure did Kong Lietian have? Could it be that black banner—the very item that directly caused Kui\'er\'s death?

"Master, the sunshine is so lovely today. We haven\'t gone to Cuihu for a long time. This time, I must catch a big crab and make crab soup for you."

"Alright, catch a big crab. This time, our family will go together. Let\'s invite your younger brother too."

"Okay, let\'s invite the second brother. The third brother isn\'t around lately, otherwise, he\'s the best at catching crabs."

"Ha ha, ha ha, Master, come quickly. There\'s a big crab here, so big!"

"I\'m coming, Kui\'er, wait for me. I\'ll bring a big net."

Suddenly:

"Ha ha, found you, a girl born in the right year, month, and hour." Kong Lietian laughed. The crack on his forehead seemed to hide a third eye.

Reaching out, he made a grabbing motion towards Kui\'er.

"Boom!"

Blood rain filled the sky as Kui\'er\'s delicate body exploded, her flesh scattered and disintegrated. Amidst the compression of energy by the golden-robed man, a blue shadow of Kui\'er appeared, only to be grabbed and sent into a black banner.

"No!"

Kui\'er was gone, but the hatred remained!
