Chapter 568: Flying Fly God Slayer

Even Xu Yang, the team leader, was astonished by the power of Lingyao's attack.

"It seems our choice was correct," Xu Yang remarked. "Lingyao's swordsmanship and Tianbing'er's power can achieve a perfect synergy. With this strength, her swordsmanship's might can be greatly enhanced."

However, what they didn't realize was that this was merely the beginning. As the enormous magic crystal shattered, Xu Yang's team successfully passed through the narrow canyon, entering an open plain. Yet, the endless black shadows at the world's end instantly halted the team's forward momentum.

"Damn it, those two are utterly ruthless!" Long Kun cursed. "They've brought us to such a place; it's like they want to eat us alive!"

Long Kun couldn't help but swallow. He hadn't been mistaken; the dense black shadows before them were nothing else but a very rare ancient beast with a demonic bloodline, called the Fiendfly!

This species had existed for countless millennia, appearing almost shortly after the demonic lineage itself came into being.

Completely black with distinct individual outlines, each one was the size of a wild boar. Their wings were tiny and couldn't sustain long periods of flight, but they were capable of occasional jumps reaching dozens of meters.

Due to their demonic bloodline, this species was usually calm, but once they detected the scent of blood, they would become completely berserk in a very short time, fighting to the death.

"Leader, what do we do now?" Shi Lingyun asked. "Should we retreat from the canyon and find another path?"

"It's too late," Xu Yang replied. "Moreover, the enemy intentionally led us here, so they likely have a clear view for coordination. Rather than dodging and hiding, it's better to meet challenges head-on. Confrontation is the best way to solve difficulties."

As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, he was the first to leap into the air. Watching his resolute back, his comrades seemed to gain immense morale and physical vigor, each raising their fighting spirit to its peak.

"Ahaha, since we're here, let's fight to our heart's content! Each of us takes a path; let's slay them until we're satisfied!"

With that, Long Kun took the lead, leaping to the far right. By himself, he unleashed incredibly brilliant phoenix flames.

It's well known that fire-attribute power is inherently extremely potent and masculine, naturally possessing a certain suppressive effect on dark-attribute demonic power. How much more so, then, for the Phoenix Power, king of fire?

Boom!!

Immediately upon entering the fray, Long Kun offered a "greeting gift." From his palm, he conjured an intensely scorching phoenix flame, incinerating hundreds of Fiendfly behemoths within several hundred meters to ash.

Meanwhile, in the localized battlefield area where Lingyao was stationed, near Long Kun, a completely opposite scene unfolded.

Vast, pure freezing power swept forth, forcing large swathes of black figures into a frozen state.

It should be noted that Lingyao's swordsmanship was inherently incredibly powerful and highly destructive, but its strike range was limited, and its accuracy was not very high. Moreover, against highly durable foes, it would prove somewhat ineffective.

But now, with the augmentation of this most powerful ice-attribute legacy, it completely compensated for two fatal shortcomings in her swordsmanship.

Because once targets were frozen, not only was their mobility severely restricted, but their defensive measures would also become completely ineffective. This undoubtedly allowed Lingyao to utilize her offensive talent to its fullest extent.

Boom!!

The might of the Heavenly Sword sliced down from above. A giant sword beam, dozens of meters long, erupted with dazzling, fierce light. The frozen black bodies shattered one after another, which truly intimidated the monsters.

As for Shi Lingyun, he attacked towards the main battlefield under Xu Yang's lead.

Shi Lingyun provided support, serving as Xu Yang's strongest rear guard. He granted Xu Yang various status buffs. Moreover, the Sacred Dao Heavenly Sound artifact emanated across the entire main battlefield, inflicting widespread debuffs on the enemies.

Xu Yang, meanwhile, stood proudly in the void with his sword. With each attack, at least a thousand Fiendflies fell.

The entire battle was incredibly brutal. The originally dense black Fiendfly legion was quickly and comprehensively suppressed by these mere four individuals. Meanwhile, the female envoy and the guard captain, the masterminds behind their encounter, released a soul-sense to observe everything happening from the void above the battlefield. They were so astonished that they were speechless.

"It's hard to imagine what state you would have been in if I hadn't appeared in time at the portal," one of the masterminds said. "Looking at it now, your companion's death was well-deserved!"

The female envoy snorted coldly. "What if they are strong? So what? Without our permission, they will never be able to leave this place."

Before long, tens of thousands of Fiendflies in the rear began to retreat. After all, they were intelligent life forms, and continuing such futile, suicidal actions was meaningless.

Finally, after much anticipation, the supreme elder among the Fiendflies made his personal appearance.

However, the leader of these massive fly-beasts possessed an appearance that astonished everyone.

"Holy cow, this old man is quite handsome!" Long Kun gasped, returning to Xu Yang's side and marveling at the sight. "He's as delicate as an elf!"

Everyone focused their gaze and also discovered that the demon leader before them indeed possessed astonishing beauty. He looked more like an elf in his thirties, entirely enveloped in black light. His appearance was virtually flawless.

However, the scepter in his hand had a rather unique design.

"Did you see that weapon in his hand?"

"A crystal skull? My god, could it be..."

Lingyao was speechless with shock. Coming from the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, she had heard the Ten Elders say that only the skull of a true god could take on a crystalline form. It was a true immortal divine remains!

The Fiendfly leader before them was a true Godslayer!

Just from this unparalleled title, one could infer what a transcendent being a "Godslayer" truly was.

No matter how strong Xu Yang was, infinitely close to a divine level, he had never slain a true god. The Demon Shepherd who had fallen by his hand previously was already the peak of Xu Yang's achievements.

But this individual, merely by possessing this crystal skull artifact, was enough to prove his formidable heritage.

"This is a forbidden land of the Glacier Kingdom," the Fiendfly leader stated. "By rights, outsiders like you shouldn't be able to find it. I'm curious what allowed you to enter my domain."

Xu Yang didn't want to waste any more words with him. He gently raised his hand, and the ground within the area slowly rose. The black-clad boss immediately understood.

"A master of Earth Law. Are you an insider?"

Xu Yang chuckled. "Who told you that only insiders are qualified and capable of cultivating Earth Law?"

Immediately after, shimmering aquamarine energy re-emerged beneath Xu Yang's feet. A small portion of the Sea God's domain power manifested, causing the enormous black figure before him to frown slightly.

"Heh, I truly underestimated you!" the leader exclaimed. "The legacies of the three great gods, and you inherited two! Fortunately, you haven't yet grown into a true god. Otherwise, if such a profound heritage were not mine, it would truly be a terrible waste."

Xu Yang and the others found the individual's words increasingly strange.

"What do you mean by that?" Long Kun retorted. "What does my leader's strength have to do with you? Do you want to be our leader's grandson?"

"Hehehe... You unrestrained child," the Fiendfly leader sneered. "Perhaps I should let you get reacquainted with the true power of my Fiendfly lineage."
