Chapter 1005: Death Battle

Factory area.

"The Silver King has returned..."

Wu Duo felt the demigod pressure filling every part of the domain, and her face was deathly pale.

It wasn't just her; all the Rat Party members, and even the ordinary people in the factory area, felt a strong sense of oppression. Although the Silver King hadn't appeared here, his aura was like smog present everywhere, pressing down on everyone until they couldn't breathe.

The spark of joy that had just risen in everyone’s hearts was extinguished by the Silver King with one hand, and what followed was an even deeper and darker despair...

All the factory areas were shrouded in a stifling, deathly silence.

Just as everyone felt their hearts turn to ash, a pillar of killing intent pierced the firmament. The pressure of the Silver King that had saturated the air was instantly shattered, as if someone had picked up a giant hammer and smashed it heavily against the shackles of the realm!

"Who... is that?"

As that killing intent tore through the sky, everyone was stunned, and then deep shock and bewilderment appeared in their eyes.

In this realm, could someone actually contend with the Silver King?

"Who is she?!"

"I don't know... I've never heard of her."

"Such a powerful aura, to actually tear open the Silver King's pressure by force?! Is she also a demigod?"

"It doesn't seem so... but she doesn't seem any weaker than a demigod."

"So..."

"Is it possible for her to kill the Silver King?"

Within the crowd, someone spoke these words, and everyone's heart trembled. A possibility that no one had ever dared to imagine began to spread in their minds...

Could someone kill the Silver King?

The Silver Government was now in shambles; if the Silver King died, the Wuji Realm would truly be liberated... everyone here would be able to regain their freedom.

Hundreds of thousands of workers, scattered in every corner of the Wuji Realm, wearing tattered clothes and bearing weary dark circles under their eyes, watched the roaring battlefield in the distance, their palms unknowingly drenched in sweat.

Although no one knew Hongxiu's name, nor did anyone know where she came from;

at this moment, everyone's heart was moved by her. That headless figure dancing amidst the ruins was perhaps the final hope of their lives.

"The sun never dies..." Wu Duo muttered to herself.

No matter how strong the Silver King was, he could not cover the sky of this era. Everyone was waiting for the moment the sun would rise from the Wuji Realm... and now, a sun filled with murderous intent was trying to break through the haze and rise.

"...Will she become the sun of the Wuji Realm?"

……

"Holy shit!!"

Jian Changsheng turned back to see the roaring battlefield, his mouth wide open in shock.

"Is this the strength of the [Asura] leader? She can fight even without a head? This is too fierce, right?!"

"The Path of the War God is best at combat, and [Asura] is the path within the War God's Path best at war. Hongxiu is the leader of [Asura]... In a sense, she is the existence best at fighting in this era." Sun Bumian paused for a moment.

"Of course, that's assuming the enemy is of the same rank as her..."

"Then is it possible for her to kill the Silver King across ranks?"

Sun Bumian fell silent.

"Crossing ranks is not difficult for an [Asura]. A Tier 4 killing a Tier 5, a Tier 5 killing a Tier 6... even a Tier 7 killing a Tier 8 is not impossible... but Tier 9 is different."

Sun Bumian looked back at the headless figure on the battlefield and spoke slowly.

"There is a chasm between humans and gods."

Boom—!!!

A figure wearing a British-style coat flew backward out of the rolling smoke and dust.

A headless figure in a trench coat moved like lightning, piercing the sky in an instant. As Hongxiu curled her five fingers, a black thunderbolt gathered from killing intent was gripped in her palm, like a divine sword meant to judge all things, slashing toward the earth!

The Silver King watched the thunderbolt rushing toward him expressionlessly, his figure flickering, and he vanished from where he stood.

In an instant, the distance between him and Hongxiu was stolen. Crossing hundreds of meters, he reappeared behind Hongxiu... his slightly curly hair fluttering silently in the air.

"Did you really think I had no way to deal with you?" The Silver King's voice seemed to come from the netherworld.

Hongxiu had lost her head and brain, so all mental-type theft was ineffective against her, which greatly narrowed the scope of the Silver King's abilities... but as a demigod of the Path of the Thief God, he was skilled in more than just that.

The moment the Silver King's voice fell, pieces of blood-stained internal organs appeared out of thin air...

Stealing the "heart";

Stealing the "liver";

Stealing the "intestines and stomach";

Stealing the "lungs"...

Within a few short seconds, Hongxiu's internal organs were hollowed out. They were scattered onto the earth by the Silver King like trash, smashed into pieces of flesh that could never be restored.

But the headless Hongxiu's movements did not slow down because of this; instead, they became even more swift!

She threw a punch, directly shattering the void behind her. The vast killing intent stretched for a hundred miles in an instant, crossing the entire Wuji Realm, and like the fist of a giant, it struck directly into the Gray Realm!

One punch pierced through half of Wuji. Countless buildings along the way were blasted into fragments, but fortunately, most of the residents were now in the factory area and were not affected.

But this punch still failed to hurt the Silver King.

His figure appeared above Hongxiu like a ghost, and he raised his hand again!

"I want to see how long you can hold on??" The Silver King said grimly.

As the Silver King pulled with his palm, two blurry masses separated into mid-air. Hongxiu's figure suddenly shook, and her form visibly withered.

Stealing the "muscles";

Stealing the "tendons"...

The Silver King's theft technique was pushed to the limit. The next moment, a complete, grim white skeleton was actually pulled out of Hongxiu's body by force...

Stealing the "skeleton"!

All the internal organs, flesh, tendons, and bones of a person had been stolen, just like a building stripped of its steel frame, with no support left. Under the sky at this moment, only a withered, headless skin remained, swaying silently in the wind...

The Silver King looked at the light, fluttering human skin below, snorted coldly, and slowly withdrew his gaze.

The next moment, a sudden change occurred!

The withered and powerless human skin arm actually grabbed the black spear beside it, suddenly twisted at a bizarre angle, and with a speed that even a demigod couldn't react to, counter-attacked the Silver King!

The Silver King's pupils suddenly contracted!

Bang—!!

The killing intent spear tore through the air with a blast, black flames shooting into the clouds. Under the spear light that was enough to destroy half of the Wuji Realm, a blood-covered, disheveled figure retreated rapidly...

This spear was simply too fast, and the Silver King never expected that there would be someone in this world who could fight with just a piece of skin after losing their head, flesh, and bones!

Hongxiu's spear directly shattered one of his arms. If his movements had been any slower, even his head would have been pierced!

Cold sweat seeped from the Silver King's back. He hadn't felt this sense of life-and-death crisis for too many years. He didn't expect that a Tier 8 woman could force him to this point...

After regaining his senses, the Silver King looked at the human skin again, his bloodshot eyes ferocious and terrifying.
