Abyss Sequence

Without the buffer of an exoskeleton, the heat from the thermal axe blade constantly seared Yan Luo's body.

His hair curled, burns appeared on his skin, and tears streamed uncontrollably from his eyes.

However, Yan Luo had no intention of turning off the thermal axe.

Currently, he could hurt the giant armadillo, this city-breaking level demon, entirely relying on this thermal axe. Without this weapon, Yan Luo wouldn't be able to harm a city-breaking level demon.

Taking a deep breath, inhaling the scorching air into his lungs, Yan Luo leapt from the tree trunk, bending slightly as he landed.

In the next instant, his leg muscles tightened, and his entire body's strength erupted suddenly.

At this moment, Yan Luo's speed reached one-third the speed of sound, and his massive body shattered the air.

The giant armadillo, in a frenzy due to its severed tongue, wildly attacked everything around it.

It seemed flawless, but in reality, was full of flaws!

Yan Luo easily dashed through the range of the giant armadillo's attack, stepping on the ground, and leaping into the air, delivering an axe strike directly to the armadillo's face, smashing its nose.

The scorching axe blade pushed into the armadillo's mouth, damaging its jaw.

But Yan Luo did not greedily pursue, even in such a moment, he remained calm.

He kicked the armadillo forcefully and flipped away.

As he landed, the screaming armadillo lunged at him.

Yan Luo retreated, and retreated, and retreated again!

The giant armadillo's body slammed into the ground, immediately sweeping its claws forward, its hind legs propelling its body as it advanced, its claws relentlessly sweeping the ground ahead.

Rubble and wood pieces flew wildly, anything that stood in the armadillo's path was shattered to pieces.

Yan Luo moved nimbly, dodging continuously, evading the rain-like debris scattered toward him.

Suddenly, the armadillo's advance halted, its body weakly crashed down, and Yan Luo stopped, stepping firmly with one foot while the other planted itself, as his figure instantly charged.

Non-stop!

Yan Luo gave the giant armadillo no chance to rest, wielding his axe and slashing down.

The fierce and heavy thermal axe slashed into the giant armadillo's cheek, and Yan Luo instantly released his left hand, smashing his fist onto the back of the axe.

The axe blade detached from the axe handle, embedding itself in the armadillo's cheek, and Yan Luo leapt forcefully, dodging the armadillo's sweeping front claws, landing on its back.

Looking up, he saw that the wound Yan Luo had previously inflicted had already healed, no longer spewing blood.

The regeneration ability of a city-breaking level demon was this powerful, normally, a Hunter couldn't wear down a city-breaking level demon little by little.

Yan Luo's feet had just landed on the armadillo's back, and without missing a beat, he sprinted towards the breach in the scales and bone plates.

Quickly installing a new axe blade, as the armadillo frantically shook its head to try to dislodge the blade embedded in its face, Yan Luo leapt up.

Dodging the violent shaking, Yan Luo held the axe with both hands, aiming at the wound on the giant armadillo's back and slashed down hard.

The recently repaired wound burst open again, blood gushing out.

Yan Luo bathed in the high-temperature blood, taking large gulps of it.

He could feel his digestive system processing the city-breaking level demon's blood, converting it into the magic power he needed.

He vaguely felt that the magic power stored within his body was being rapidly consumed, continuously transforming his body.

"Come! Come! Come!"

Yan Luo roared frenziedly from the armadillo's back, wildly swinging the thermal axe.

One strike after another, splitting the flesh and blood of the armadillo's back.

Finally, its attention shifted from the searing axe blade on its face to its back, and the giant armadillo sensed something amiss, immediately curling into a ball, rolling all over.

Yan Luo leapt off the armadillo's back, but he knew the armadillo couldn't roll for long.

Because, embedded in its face was a metal piece spreading high temperatures!

Just as Yan Luo had anticipated, the armadillo suddenly collapsed, then raised its front claw, stabbing at its own cheek.

Pain!

Too painful!

The continuously radiating high-temperature metal embedded in its face relentlessly burned its muscle, affecting its eyeballs and brain, the pain perceived by its nerve endings drove the armadillo to hurt itself.

Only by gouging out that piece of flesh from its face could it recover!

If Yan Luo weren't present, the armadillo might indeed succeed, but now with Yan Luo on the side, how could it simply watch as the restriction he set was destroyed.

Yan Luo charged once more, the wind irresistibly following, pounding the side of the armadillo.

As if hit by a hundred-ton heavy truck, the giant armadillo's body swayed violently, its steps staggering.

Its front claw missed, inadvertently stabbing into its own eyeball.

"Aooo!!!"

The giant armadillo let out a heartrending cry.

Seeing this, Yan Luo rejoiced, immediately rushing toward the armadillo's chin, swinging the thermal axe, tearing open a long gash in the armadillo's vulnerable lower jaw.

Pain and anger simultaneously assaulted the giant armadillo's brain, making it decisively withdraw its claw from its eye socket.

The eyeball was brought out by the sharp claws, and the optic nerve, connecting the eyeball like lotus roots, snapped after less than half a second.

Yan Luo immediately darted away, his steps swift, leaving the armadillo unable to catch up.

But unable to catch up, it still pursued.

The giant armadillo with one remaining eye stared fixedly at Yan Luo's back, brewing boundless rage and hatred in its heart, exploding in its forepaws and hindlegs.

The armadillo's speed suddenly increased a notch, almost faster than a train.

At this moment, Yan Luo came to a sudden halt, his figure abruptly stopping.

He stopped, but the giant armadillo could not halt its steps, continuing to charge forward at tremendous speed due to inertia.

If it can't stop, then it won't stop!

The giant armadillo suddenly opened its bloodied mouth wide like an excavator, aiming to ram Yan Luo.

Inhale—

Yan Luo began deep breathing, suddenly stamping a foot on the ground, creating a dent.

Whoosh!

His body shot into the air.

The armadillo raised its neck and body, using its mouth to chase after Yan Luo's figure, but failed to stop its steps and passed by before its mouth could hook Yan Luo.

Thus, the armadillo jumped up trying to bite Yan Luo into its mouth.

But it could never reach Yan Luo's body.

Bang!

As the armadillo jumped, its body leaned backward, now heavily slamming onto the ground, facing upwards.

And in that moment, Yan Luo began to descend.

The armadillo, intending to flip over, suddenly froze, disregarding the metal embedded in its face, waving its forepaws, ready to shred Yan Luo's body.

Unexpectedly, while airborne, Yan Luo could twist his body, vigorously throwing the hot melt axe in his hand.

The accelerating descending hot melt axe severed the sharp claws, fiercely striking the armadillo's neck.

Blood gushed out!

In panic, the armadillo clawed at the hot melt axe, but this was when Yan Luo descended.

He stomped on the hot melt axe, pushing the blade further into the neck.

In the next second, Yan Luo flipped over and jumped aside, landing on the armadillo's chest.

"Huh! Huh!"

The giant armadillo tried to vocalize but couldn't make a sound.

Yan Luo unleashed a violent shout; the armadillo's chest seemed heavily hit, because Yan Luo's legs exerted force, propelling his body forward.

As the figure swept past the hot melt axe, Yan Luo grasped the axe handle with both hands, using the running force to pull the hot melt axe out from the armadillo's neck.

Squirt—!

Truly a fountain of blood, massive amounts sprayed into the air, raining down like a bloodstorm.

Suffering such severe injury, even for a City-breaking Level Demon, it was not far from death.

But before the demon dies completely, Yan Luo would not let his guard down.

Yan Luo grasped the axe with both hands, leaping at the armadillo's chin, entering its mouth cavity through the jaw wound cut earlier, twisting his body, and cleaving at the armadillo's brain with the hot melt axe.

The commotion… seemed to have ceased.

Sasa furrowed her brows, summoned the vehicle system, directing the armored car to turn back to the battlefield of Yan Luo and the giant armadillo.

"Who won?" Suniya asked anxiously.

Julia, without hesitation, said, "Probably Yan Luo."

"Why?" Suniya seemed puzzled.

Sasa replied, "If the demon won, there'd still be loud sounds."

Upon hearing this, Suniya's confusion dissipated.

Indeed, that demon was so colossal; if it won, its movements would still make loud noises.

Yet now, they heard nothing.

Neither vibrations nor booms, all had vanished.

So, was Yan Luo the ultimate victor?

The battlefield was devastated, fallen giant trees and rubble everywhere, the ground rugged and uneven.

Luckily, the armored car could traverse such terrain, slowly moving towards the gargantuan creature lying on the ground.

Upon arriving around the giant armadillo, Sasa and the others didn't spot Yan Luo.

Where had he gone?

Just as they wondered this, the armadillo's body suddenly quivered, a patch of skin split open at its flank, with Yan Luo emerging unscathed.
