The imposing manner of Night Emperor and Yang Jian collided like a storm, and for a moment, sparks fell, illuminating the heavens and the earth.
"Hmph!"
Yang Jian snorted coldly, and with a flip of his hand, he took out the War God's Trident. With a light wave, the blade energy crisscrossed, instantly dispersing the imposing manner of the Night Emperor. In that instant, Qin Jun and the others felt the pressure on their shoulders dissipate.
Underneath Qin Jun, Di Ting suddenly spoke, "This demon's roots are deep. It should be a rare and extraordinary breed."
Extraordinary breeds among the demon race often possessed exceptional talents, making them much stronger than ordinary demons at the same level.
The Night Emperor's ability to rise to the position of the ruler of the Endless Territory was naturally related to his talent.
Liu Ruolai nervously looked at the Night Emperor's palace in front of her. This was the Night Emperor, whom she had heard countless terrifying legends about since childhood. Now, she was actually witnessing someone challenging the Night Emperor, something she had never dared to imagine before.
"So strong..." Jiu Tou Chong's face was solemn, his fists involuntarily clenched.
Earlier, he had arrogantly offered to take the lead, but now, feeling the Night Emperor's imposing manner, he felt a suffocating sensation, let alone engaging in battle with him.
Zhu Bajie and Golden Cicada were also extremely nervous. If Yang Jian were to lose this battle, they would not have a good end either.
At this moment, Yang Jian suddenly swung the War God's Trident again. In an instant, a crescent-shaped blade energy, stretching for thousands of meters, swept through.
The forests and mountains shook violently because of this blade energy, which was moving at an extremely fast speed and was about to land on the Night Emperor's palace.
Buzz—
In the blink of an eye, an invisible force suddenly blocked the blade energy, and at the same time, a terrifying purplish-black demonic energy overflowed from the Night Emperor's palace, like a roaring dragon.
"Do you really think I can't deal with you?" The Night Emperor's cold voice suddenly resounded, plunging the world into a wintry chill. Then, Yang Jian's blade energy suddenly dispersed, and the Night Emperor's figure flew out of the palace, still seated on his throne.
As soon as Yang Jian saw the Night Emperor, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.
As their eyes met, both the god and the demon could see each other's disdain and arrogance.
The Night Emperor had been the ruler of the Endless Territory for a long time, and his character had long since become inflated.
Not to mention Yang Jian, whose arrogance stemmed from his strength and from countless battles.
In this respect, Yang Jian and the Night Emperor were very similar.
Powerful and arrogant, scorning all living beings!
Yang Jian didn't waste any more words. He flew towards the Night Emperor, wielding the War God's Trident. His speed was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Night Emperor.
The Night Emperor extended his right hand, and the purplish-black demonic energy condensed into a huge claw, rushing towards Yang Jian.
Boom!
Yang Jian pressed down on the purplish-black claw, forcing his way closer to the Night Emperor, causing the Night Emperor to raise his eyebrows in surprise. He hadn't expected Yang Jian's strength to be so terrifying.
But the Night Emperor was not to be trifled with. Suddenly, he clenched his right hand, and the purplish-black claw exploded, directly engulfing Yang Jian's figure in demonic energy.
The explosion generated a fierce wind that swept in all directions, even causing Qin Jun, who was sitting on Di Ting's back, to sway. This showed how strong the impact of the explosion was.
"Will he be okay?" Liu Ruolai nervously grabbed Qin Jun's arm and asked.
Yang Jian was the strongest among them. If he were to lose, they would be doomed.
"Don't worry!" Qin Jun shook his head and smiled, full of trust in Yang Jian.
Yang Jian was not a reckless person. He dared to confront the Night Emperor after sensing his aura, indicating that he had absolute confidence.
Otherwise, he would have fled like he did when facing Shen Wujing.
Whoosh—
Yang Jian emerged from the demonic energy smoke without disappointing everyone, and with a single strike, he startled the Night Emperor into instinctively reaching out to grab the handle of the War God's Trident. However, as soon as he grabbed it, he felt his hand split open, blood splattering, and his body plummeted.
Boom!
The Night Emperor and his throne crashed into the forest, kicking up dust hundreds of meters high, causing the earth to tremble violently, scaring many demons and birds out of the forest.
This scene greatly frightened the demons and beasts lurking in the shadows.
"Sss—Is this the recently rumored Erlang Shen? So strong!"
"Am I seeing things? I actually saw His Majesty the Night Emperor being knocked down!"
"Erlang Shen is so strong!"
"No wonder he was able to slay the Demon King Luo Shu. He's truly too powerful. Will His Majesty the Night Emperor be okay?"
"We need to be ready to escape at any time, to avoid dying in vain."
The demons and beasts whispered to each other, and upon seeing the Night Emperor being knocked down, their first thought was to escape.
They couldn't intervene in a battle of this level, and if the Night Emperor were to be defeated, they could only flee.
With a whoosh, the Night Emperor suddenly flew out through the rolling dust, but at this moment, his throne had disappeared from under his feet. His eyes coldly locked onto Yang Jian as he flew towards him, his brocade robe billowing in the fierce wind.
Clang—
The Night Emperor suddenly produced a purple crystal staff and clashed it against Yang Jian's War God Trident. In an instant, Yang Jian's pupils contracted, feeling a strange and scorching energy bursting from the purple crystal staff, causing his mind to blur as he was sent flying.
Seizing the advantage, the Night Emperor relentlessly pursued!
Brandishing the purple crystal staff, the Night Emperor began to attack Yang Jian, who was still in a state of backward flight, only able to defend himself with the War God Trident.
Their figures intertwined, flying back and forth in the heavens and earth, leaving Qin Jun and Liu Ruo constantly turning their heads, unable to keep up with their eyes.
"The situation is a bit unfavorable," Jin Chanzi narrowed his eyes, muttering to himself.
"Master, don't worry, Yang Jian is still testing the opponent," Zhu Bajie smiled. Back in the Heavenly Court, he knew well the terror of Yang Jian, especially during the expedition to the Flower Fruit Mountain, where Yang Jian had astonished the gods.
Even with the help of the Howling Celestial Dog, Yang Jian was the only one in the Heavenly Court who had defeated Sun Wukong.
Just then, Yang Jian suddenly opened his third eye, the Demonic Breaking Eye!
The cold light in the eye made the Night Emperor's heart skip a beat, quickly evading and creating distance from Yang Jian.
"What kind of eye is that..."
The Night Emperor thought in horror, as he had just faced the Demonic Breaking Eye, feeling a chilling sense of soul tremor.
Yang Jian didn't waste time with him, with the Demonic Breaking Eye open, his speed skyrocketed, his body surrounded by a white aura formed from his magical power, like a white dragon descending from the sky.
"Meet your end!"
Yang Jian roared angrily, raising the War God Trident high and striking down.
Divine skill, earth-shattering!
An unparalleled terrifying momentum erupted from Yang Jian's body, the wind swirling and the clouds scattering, frightening Qin Jun and the others into hastily retreating.
This move again!
The Night Emperor's heart pounded, quickly mobilizing the demonic power within him, rapidly transforming the purple-black demonic energy into a towering giant, though his face couldn't be clearly seen, it should be the Night Emperor from the outline.
The demonic giant blocked with both palms!
Boom—
The terrifying explosion tore through all the clamor, even causing Qin Jun to temporarily lose his hearing. The intense light forced him to close his eyes, and the howling wind came, but Qin Jun reacted quickly, swiftly escaping the danger zone.
The Nine-Headed Worm held his hand in front of him, gritting his teeth and muttering, "How is it possible to be this strong..."
He could feel that if he were to intrude, he would likely be torn apart by the magical power, and might not even be able to escape with his primordial spirit.
Thinking back to his earlier battle with Yang Jian, he felt uneasy.
