Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1603 - 667: Battle at the Eighth Rank Peak!

This really was a huge blow to morale.

Seeing right through all of his subordinates' thoughts, Kabane couldn't help but feel that he was being overly cautious.

Were those two little early Eighth Rank deities really worth all this caution?

And at that moment, just as Kabane was thinking this, two figures suddenly burst out from the "border area"—it was none other than Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu, who had chased all the way here.

Seeing this, Kabane finally made up his mind!

If you want to fight, then let's fight!

As the dignified, second-ranked, Eighth Rank Peak Great Evil God, he feared no one's challenge!

With that in mind, Kabane swept his gaze over his subordinates, then said grimly, "It seems that some people really don't know their place."

"They think that just because I'm a bit weakened, they can threaten me." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"But they don't consider—even at my weakest, I'm still ranked number two at the Eighth Rank Peak."

"And I have you all as my guards."

"There's no way they can be our match."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji arrived.

Having already collected all the intel on the "Pantheon," Qiu Tu glanced around and immediately mapped out everyone's identities and strength in his mind.

Qiu Tu didn't put on airs; he directly sent a mental message to Zhao Ji, "That late Eighth Rank named Di Li—he's too much for me to handle."

"The other five Eighth Rank deities, leave them to me."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, then shot him a complicated look.

After all, Qiu Tu had just advanced to Eighth Rank, same as her.

What's more, Qiu Tu wasn't a "Heavenly God Reincarnation" and didn't have particularly rich combat experience. That's why Zhao Ji had prepared mentally to fight alone all along this operation.

But turns out, Qiu Tu was actively asking to take on five at once.

If it were anyone else, Zhao Ji would've thought they were just blowing smoke. But the person in front of her was Qiu Tu…

To be honest, Zhao Ji kind of believed him.

'This growth speed is insane... Could it be... I really underestimated him?'

Thinking this, Zhao Ji nodded with a cool "Alright."

As she spoke, Zhao Ji reached into the void and drew out a longsword.

Her gaze sharpened, and she let out a crisp shout, "Heaven-Splitter!"

With that, a sword gleam shot out, slashing straight at that late Eighth Rank deity!

At the same time, Kabane was closely watching Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu's moves.

Seeing Zhao Ji charge close and slash out with her sword without a word, his expression suddenly grew extremely grave.

But… the moment he heard that this strike was called "Heaven-Splitter," his heart instantly relaxed.

For one reason only: he knew this sword move, "Heaven-Splitter." It was Tian Qi's "Unique Skill": weaponizing celestial phenomena—massively powerful, but it didn't contain "Quasi-Heavenly God Skill" Law Power.

This level of attack more than sufficed against anyone below Eighth Rank, and was unstoppable for sieges or battles. But against higher Eighth Rank deities, it was barely enough.

Especially since... Zhao Ji's version was clearly "far weaker" than Tian Qi's, completely lacking in special phenomena.

So, Kabane nonchalantly reached out with his right hand—condensed with the Law of Destruction—intending to help his subordinate weaken the attack.

But right then, that seemingly ordinary sword light landed on him!

"Screee—!"

The next second, a searing, soul-piercing pain shot through him! Kabane's face twisted instantly, and by the time he reacted, his hand had already been cleanly sliced off! The Law Power he prided himself on hadn't helped at all!

And even so, the sword gleam seemed completely unaffected, continuing to cut straight for the late Eighth Rank Great Evil God!

That late Eighth Rank Great Evil God was obviously stunned Kabane hadn't managed to stop the attack for him!

He instinctively tried to escape!

But it was too late! That sword light seemed alive, shadowing his every move!

Unable to dodge, he was sliced through—half his head lopped off in one stroke!

In that instant, the whole world seemed to freeze. Blood sprayed slowly through the air, and shock was written all over Kabane's face!

As for that late Eighth Rank Great Evil God, terror was even more plain on his face.

After all, he'd never imagined he'd actually fall here!

But even this wasn't the end! After slicing off half of the late Eighth Rank Great Evil God's head, the sword light began to madly shred him further!

In just moments, the Great Evil God's flesh was hacked into ragged chunks of bloody meat!

Clearly, there was no chance of surviving this.

Seeing this, an eerie silence fell over the entire scene.

One move cut off Kabane's hand, and casually slaughtered a late Eighth Rank Great Evil God?

The hell… was that Heaven-Splitter?! Why the hell does it look nothing like Tian Qi's?!

At that moment, while Kabane's group was still in shock, Zhao Ji turned coolly to Qiu Tu and said, "Late Eighth Rank is dead. The remaining five are yours."

With that, she turned into a flash of lightning, darting for Kabane!

Seeing this, Qiu Tu simply grinned, then unleashed "Order Space," directly enveloping the five Eighth Rank Great Evil Gods!
