Swish—
But suddenly, a spray of fresh blood erupted.
The hand that the Lord of the Dark Night had used to grip the Dark Greatsword was severed clean off.
It was the Asura King!!!
He had delivered another downward slash, cutting straight through the Lord of the Dark Night's hand.
However, the Asura army was not the least bit surprised by this sight.
At the same time, Chu Feng's heart jolted.
"This feeling?"
He could sense that the Asura King's aura remained unchanged — still at the fourth grade of the Half-God Realm.
Yet the attack he had unleashed demonstrated a massive surge in combat strength, reaching a level comparable to a fifth-grade Half-God.
It was heaven-defying combat power. While it was only a single grade above his own, the Asura King truly possessed heaven-defying strength.
To still wield combat power that defied the heavens by one grade within the Half-God Realm — that alone spoke volumes about the Asura King's strength. He was not to be underestimated.
"Heaven-defying by one grade?"
"It seems this king underestimated you."
The Lord of the Dark Night's palm had clearly been sliced in half, blood gushing freely from the severed stump. Yet it was as if he felt no pain whatsoever. Not only was he calm and unhurried, but a look of excitement even surfaced on his face.
Swish—
Swish—
Swish—
But in the next instant, countless black light blades materialized with every swing of the Dark Greatsword, surging toward the Lord of the Dark Night like a furious storm.
It was the Asura King. He wasted no words, launching one lethal attack after another, intent on claiming the Lord of the Dark Night's life.
He was not merely carrying out the orders Chu Feng had given him.
He was also using his actions to make it clear to the Lord of the Dark Night that he… was no waste.
"Little thing, how interesting."
The Lord of the Dark Night's smile grew ever more sinister. After a flurry of evasions, he suddenly thrust a palm forward. At some point, his severed hand had fully regeneraled, and the force behind this palm strike was terrifyingly powerful.
The Asura King sensed the overwhelming force of the blow and could only raise his Dark Greatsword to block. But even so, the impact sent him hurtling backward through the air.
"So strong."
Chu Feng cursed inwardly. He could tell that the Asura King's combat strength was already formidable.
Yet even so, there still seemed to be a significant gap between the Asura King and the Lord of the Dark Night.
This was an extremely unfavorable situation. After all, they were fighting with their backs against the wall now — they could only win, not lose.
"Formation!!!"
Once the Asura King had steadied himself, he let out a thunderous roar.
Immediately after, he gripped the Dark Greatsword once more and charged at the Lord of the Dark Night.
As his command rang out, massive waves of dark energy erupted from the bodies of the Asura army like a volcanic eruption, then surged toward the Asura King.
In the next moment, that tremendous dark energy merged with the Asura King as one, under his control.
With the immense Asura power now coursing through him, he clashed with the Lord of the Dark Night once again.
Their battle was blindingly fast. Chu Feng could not even follow their movements and could only feel the overwhelming pressure of their confrontation.
Still, he could sense that after the Asura army joined forces to deploy their formation, the Asura King's combat strength had received another boost.
But even so, the Asura King still appeared to be at a disadvantage.
Chu Feng could no longer make out the Asura King's exact position, but he could see the other members of the Asura army.
Though they were not directly participating in the fight, the formation they had constructed together was nothing short of earth-shattering.
Just from the sheer magnitude of the formation's power, one could tell that maintaining it was exacting a tremendous toll on them.
It was written plainly on every one of their faces — the word was exhaustion.
Clearly, this formation could not be sustained for long.
"No good. I can't just sit here and wait."
Chu Feng knew that if things continued this way, their defeat was inevitable.
Setting aside the fact that even with the Asura army going all out, they still could not defeat the Lord of the Dark Night — the Lord of the Dark Night was not even using his true power at this moment. He was currently in a state of diminished cultivation.
And as time passed, his cultivation and condition would both recover. When that happened, their deaths would be certain.
So Chu Feng turned his gaze toward that coffin-like formation.
He had long sensed that the formation was far from simple — it was connected to the Lord of the Dark Night's aura. During the Lord of the Dark Night's slumber, that formation had surely been providing him with tremendous support.
He wanted to see whether he could find a weakness in the Lord of the Dark Night through that formation.
And when he looked, he actually found one.
"Senior, please do everything you can to keep the Lord of the Dark Night occupied and focused on fighting you."
With that, Chu Feng transmitted his voice to the Asura King.
The Asura King understood immediately and bellowed toward the Asura army.
"Have you all not eaten enough?! Where is the power of this formation?!"
Upon hearing those words, the Asura army grasped his meaning, and wave after wave of furious roars erupted from their ranks.
At the same time, the dark energy they released from their bodies grew ever more violent. But as the energy intensified, not only did blood begin streaming from their seven orifices — their very skin started to crack and split apart.
The sensation was such that if things continued, they would not even need the Lord of the Dark Night to lift a finger. They would simply kill themselves.
The Asura army at this moment was not merely giving their all — they were wagering their very lives.
