Chapter 607: Sunshadow City (Part 4)

A human with warrior-level devil strength, yet capable of killing his fellow Leader-level devils with a single stroke, must have been one of the humans’ ultimate skills.

Thus, he lunged forward to prevent her from unleashing another ultimate move, unaware that she could withstand his attacks.

Crisis struck suddenly.

The leader-level devil immediately counterattacked.

Like Amalia, his weapon was also a blade—a mid-grade spiritual artifact.

On the devil continent, possessing a mid-grade spiritual artifact as a leader-level devil was considered excellent.

Harnessing the power of a leader-level, he leaped up and swung his blade toward Amalia.

Amalia’s own blade was descending at the same time.

The clash between the two formidable blade auras lasted for a moment.

Suddenly, one of the blade auras erupted with intense brilliance, instantly breaking through the opponent’s blade aura.

"Impossible."

The Leader-level devil realized that the momentum of her blade aura remained unchanged, even as it cleaved through his defenses.

He couldn’t fathom why.

Amalia naturally wouldn’t reveal to him the uniqueness of her Eight Gods Blade technique, where each strike could be layered upon the last and doubling its power.

Executing three consecutive strikes, Amalia nearly depleted her spiritual energy.

Fortunately, she had consumed the high-grade pills given to Kenny Lin by Master Lian.

For her, consuming these pills now seemed wasteful, but their rapid restoration of spiritual energy was crucial for survival.

At this point, the pills meant for life-saving were more valuable than any consideration of waste.

The devils below were stunned by her method of consecutively slaying two leader-level devils.

Amalia gripped her long blade.

She had only slain two leader-level devils, leaving over nine hundred warrior-level devils and eight more leader-level devils before achieving her mission’s objective.

Taking a deep breath, Amalia charged into the midst of the devil’s camp, her killing intent palpable.

The devils feared her power; even the leader-level devils were no match for her, let alone those with only warrior-level strength.

In order to prevent the return of the great leader-level devil city lord, Amalia burned all of her spiritual energy.

With each strike, she ensured to claim the head of one to several warrior-level devils.

Some heads flew out and were promptly collected by her Soltice Ring.

Amalia’s eyes turned red with rage as she continued her slaughter.

There were more and more bodies on the ground and they were piling up like mountains.

After all, the devils also have been gone to strict training and they’ve begun to regain their composure after their initial panic.

A few stronger squad leaders started to command their subordinates to attack Amalia.

With a single slash, Amalia aimed at the leading devil squad leader, who quickly dodged the attack.

The devils behind him, however, were not so lucky.

With a swift and deadly arc, her blade ended their lives.

Amid the chaos, Amalia’s precision wavered.

Some devils’ heads were split open and their brain matter was spilling onto the ground.

Seeing Amalia, relentless and tireless in her killing spree, the surrounding devils began to lose their will to fight.

Where was the city lord?

If this continued, all the devils in Sunshadow City would be slaughtered.

"The city lord will be back soon! We must fight back! Don’t let her kill us all! Listen to my commands and stay calm," one of the devil squad leaders shouted loudly.

Another squad leader caught on and quickly rallied the troops, "Once the city lord returns, this intruder will surely die! We only need to hold out until then. Do not fight her directly; we will use a rotating attack strategy."

Though Amalia did not understand their devil language, she could see their plan to stall for time.

She remained outwardly calm but was growing anxious.

She hadn’t received any signal from Kenny Lin to retreat yet.

Meanwhile, the city lord of Sunshadow City glared grimly at Kenny Lin opposite him, the blood dripping down from his arm.

In stark contrast to the city lord’s disheveled state, Kenny Lin, who had ambushed him, appeared completely fine.

Despite being only at the early Golden Core stage, Kenny Lin had managed to seriously wounded the great leader-level city lord, his combat prowess astounding.

What surprised the city lord even more was that Kenny Lin did not flee.

Instead, he stood there, making the city lord painfully aware of his own disgrace—being looked down upon by a mere Golden Core stage human cultivator.

The city lord of Sunshadow City let out an angry growl.

"Human, state your name."

"A dying person doesn’t need to know my name," Kenny Lin replied, his sword emitting a faint hum.

It was unclear whether it trembled in anticipation of bloodshed or mirrored its owner’s emotions.

The city lord of Sunshadow City laughed uproariously, his face contorted with rage, "Such arrogance! Among humans, you are the most insolent cultivator I’ve ever encountered—and the last!"

"You think that merely wounding me means you can defeat me? Today, I will show you the true power of a great leader-level devil!"

Despite his rage, the city lord did not underestimate Kenny Lin.

He drew his weapon—a razor-sharp sword.

The devils preferred straightforward, lethal weapons, so most of them used swords, especially lower-ranked devils.

Swords were simple and more commonly available.

A devil’s combat strength could more than double with a weapon, which is why they sought suitable arms fervently.

Those who lacked the fortune to find a good weapon had to earn one through military merit.

Just as how the humans would receive rewards for slaying the devils, the devils also earned rewards from their higher-ups for killing humans.

The city lord’s sword was a spiritual artifact that he obtained through such military achievements.

Kenny Lin said nothing, but an aura that was far more terrifying than his cultivation level suddenly erupted from his body.

In a place unseen by the city lord of Sunshadow City, the Yin-Yang Pearl within Kenny Lin’s body emitted a burst of explosive black light.

This black light was unlike an evil aura; it was more like the radiant glow of a black gem, shining to an extreme.

Unfortunately, the city lord could not see this, but he noticed the change in Kenny Lin’s aura.
