"Azure Vault Second Technique — Annihilation Slash!!"

Yang Yan refused to give Chiyou a moment to catch his breath.

The Half Moon Slash, quite similar to the Shattering Heaven, was an improvement Yang Yan made on the first technique.

This second technique naturally held greater power.

Not only did it draw upon about eighty to ninety percent of Yang Yan's energy, but it also possessed an unfathomable might!

The blade of Star Night was enveloped in a gray, hazy aura that appeared murky, yet upon closer inspection, was remarkably clear.

Yes, that's right!

This is the Devouring Power!

The Devouring Power, in theory, can consume everything.

However, even Yang Yan hadn't used it many times.

It could be said that every use was akin to a trump card.

"What is this?!"

Chiyou's expression changed; the might of Yang Yan's strike invoked an inexplicable fear in his heart!

Yet, he had no other options, as the pressing Yang Yan left him with no possibility of escape.

Boom!

Screech!!

In haste, Chiyou placed his stone axe in front, only for it to be abruptly knocked aside.

The stone axe slipped from his grip, hurtling fiercely towards Chiyou's back.

Immediately following, the sound of flesh being sliced echoed.

A spurt of blood shot through the air!

Since Chiyou was already headless, and his body arched slightly backward in a critical moment.

Yang Yan's sword merely grazed his neck.

Just like that, the already minimal segment of Chiyou's neck was entirely severed by Yang Yan!

"Ah! I, the god, will kill you! Kill you!"

Enraged by pain, Chiyou clenched his right fist tightly, launching it ferociously at Yang Yan with the force of a violent gale.

Yang Yan did not reply, nor was he in the mood to do so.

He couldn't be bothered to waste words with Chiyou.

At such close range, there was no time to wield a sword.

Thus, Yang Yan clenched his left fist, preparing to meet Chiyou head-on with a punch!

At the outset, Chiyou's punch had slain countless experts from the Hidden World.

Later, a single punch from Chiyou sent Yang Yan flying, gravely injuring him into unconsciousness.

Each sword master who barely endured one punch from Chiyou was instantly knocked back, losing any ability to counter.

Even Ao Tian had bowed before Chiyou's fists.

Yet now, Yang Yan actually dared to confront Chiyou face-to-face in a direct clash!

Boom!

A radiant light centered on the two of them suddenly spread outward.

The blinding brilliance forced everyone to shut their eyes instinctively.

Whether Ao Tian or the ten sword masters.

And the man whose legs had been severed by Chiyou, already at the entrance, was the farthest from Yang Yan and Chiyou, thus the last to close his eyes.

Of course, it was only a momentary delay.

In that instant, the man witnessed an unforgettable scene!

Bang!

A headless body soared into the air at that moment.

Yang Yan remained in his punching stance.

As for Chiyou, who had exchanged a punch with him, he was being launched into the sky.

Then, pulled by gravity, Chiyou crashed back onto the ground.

Once again, the entire Buzhou Space trembled, as if it were about to collapse the next moment.

The force of this punch was terrifying beyond compare!

"Ugh!"

Chiyou, lying on the ground, could no longer hold back; the blood that he had been suppressing uncontrollably spewed out from his throat.

Billowing Demonic Qi promptly flooded out of his body, beginning to repair Chiyou's damaged form.

When Ao Tian and the others reopened their eyes, they saw only Chiyou sitting a distance away from Yang Yan on the ground, with a shocking pool of blood in front, and demonic Qi surging all over him.

Yang Yan was in no rush.

He just stood there, motionless, observing Chiyou's self-healing.

The physique of the Demon Race was indeed extraordinary.

At the very least, this self-healing capability was beyond imagination.

Despite Chiyou being beaten so miserably by Yang Yan, the actual harm wasn't massive.

Even though Chiyou was only at the Half-Step Divine Realm, the divine attribute of a touch of the Divine Realm's indestructible physique was not to be underestimated.

Coupled with the innate regenerative abilities of the Demon Race, Chiyou was practically a stubborn survivor.

"Moonlight, I admit, you're strong! But you can't kill me! Moreover, you all can't stop me!"

After a brief recovery, Chiyou already stood up.

When Yang Yan heard the phrase 'you all can't stop me', he realized something was wrong.

As expected, the fallen stone axe flew back into Chiyou's hand.

This time, Chiyou didn't charge at Yang Yan but instead, dashed towards the core of the Buzhou Space.

He moved so fast that even the space he passed left behind a series of afterimages, bursting with the sound of space tearing apart.

"No!!"

The man, legless at the entrance, perceived Chiyou's intention and couldn't help but exclaim.

If Chiyou succeeded, then everything would be over.

The deaths of those earlier would be in vain!

"No? What right do you have to say no?"

Chiyou approached the core of the Buzhou Space, raising his axe to swing at the core barrier.

Simultaneously, he disdainfully turned to glance at the man.

Ants will always be ants, without any right of refusal!

Yang Yan was some distance away from Chiyou; even though he realized what the opponent intended to do, he rushed over with all his might, yet Chiyou's axe had already fallen.

Boom!

The barrier, already covered with cracks, was now even more fractured after this strike.

"Chiyou, you dare!"

Yang Yan, reaching Chiyou's side, roared fiercely, charging with a determined sword slash.

This sword was aimed to take Chiyou's life, aimed straight for his heart.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yan's seemingly lethal strike wasn't even taken seriously by Chiyou.

Instead, Chiyou's grin grew even more maniacal.

The speed between the two was actually comparable.

When Yang Yan's sword tip reached Chiyou's chest, Chiyou's axe was also just descending.

"Screech!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Star Night pierced through Chiyou's left ventricle, giving Chiyou a bone-chilling sensation.

Chiyou's axe also landed on the barrier just in time.

"Creak..."

The barrier shuddered violently, showing signs of imminent shattering!

With just two more strikes, or even just a blow from an Emperor-level expert, this barrier would inevitably collapse!

At that time, minus the operational shield maintained by Buzhou Space for the Hidden World's outer defense, the extraterrestrial Demon Race wouldn't need to risk substantial losses in strength to directly invade the Hidden World.

Should that occur, not only would the Hidden World rapidly fall, the current world would also be doomed!

However, after being pierced through the heart by Yang Yan, Chiyou merely hesitated in lifting his axe.

Yang Yan didn't have time to ponder why Chiyou was still alive; he immediately abandoned the attack on Chiyou's back, turning to slash diagonally instead.

Screech!

Before Chiyou could lower his axe, the quicker Yang Yan forcibly severed Chiyou's right arm.

At this moment, under everyone's gaze, Chiyou turned to Yang Yan with a wry smile.

Boom!

Chiyou's left punch, in the next instant, slammed brutally onto the barrier.

The barrier, having withstood this blow, shattered to the extreme.

With just one last strike needed, perhaps even one from an Emperor-level expert, this barrier would inevitably break!

"You won, I... also... didn't lose."

After those words to Yang Yan with a smile, Chiyou's entire body lost support, collapsing heavily onto the ground.
