We’re almost there!
Without a car, Dean and the others had traveled across nearly half the community.
The closer they got to the battlefield, the clearer that terrifying sense of oppression became.
The Winchester brothers had dealt with plenty of evil spirits and monsters, but they had never encountered anything as horrifying as this presence.
The entire space seemed saturated with his aura; it felt like even breathing would alert him to your presence, leading to instant annihilation.
Ron, however, had a more nuanced perception.
Another demon she had encountered, Rasha, possessed power far inferior to this one, which felt sinister and ominous.
If Rasha was like a malicious deceiver, then Paimon represented sheer, utter evil and uncanniness.
There was no possibility of negotiation or coexistence!
All the houses on both sides of the street had been reduced to rubble, and remnants of hellfire still blazed on the ground.
Waves of heat assaulted them; they could even smell the faint singed odor of their own hair under the intense temperature.
The ground was shattered, the wind howled furiously, and the sky was overcast with dark clouds, thunder rumbling through them intermittently.
“It looks like the end of the world,”
Dean voiced his thought, his tone lacking its usual lightness.
Just seeing the destruction of the surrounding environment made both Dean and Sam feel like there was little they could do to help.
Just then, Ron suddenly looked up.
“Here it comes!”
A deafening roar made all three instinctively cover their ears.
Moments later, a bizarre four-legged creature, composed of human tissue and faces, appeared, ridden by a young boy wearing a crown.
It was Paimon!
The three immediately tensed, ready to strike, but realized the demon didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking.
His cheeks were stained with blood, the jewel-encrusted crown on his head was dim, and blood gushed from a severed arm.
His androgynous, delicate face was twisted in panic!
As the trio stared in astonishment, a flash of brilliant sword light streaked past, illuminating their faces.
——
In his furious rage, Paimon finally stopped suppressing his voice.
The same terrifying sonic waves as before came crashing down on them again!
The lightning released by the two Five Thunder Talismans pierced through the sound waves, but their power visibly weakened.
Su Fan hadn’t expected these two talismans to injure Paimon himself.
Their purpose was to clear a path for the truly lethal Demon-Slaying Sword, breaking through all obstacles!
The flesh-camel’s hooves struck the ground.
Shadows stretched out, racing towards Su Fan. Everything the shadows touched along the way was swallowed into the darkness!
Countless hands formed from the shadows, too many to count, stretching on endlessly.
It was as if they carried the grudges of evil spirits from the abyss, trying to drag Su Fan down into the depths.
Su Fan leaped into the air, merging with his sword.
The dazzling sword light shredded all the shadow hands and shot straight toward Paimon!
Aided by wind control, the fierce gale that should have been a hindrance instead amplified his already terrifying speed, leaving trails of afterimages in the air!
Just as the gleam of the sword was about to reach him, Paimon’s eyes blazed with crimson light!
The ground split open, and massive stone pillars surged up in an instant!
Thick walls, enough to withstand modern artillery bombardment, were pierced in a flash!
That seemingly insignificant point of cold light appeared capable of penetrating any defense in the world!
Paimon, unfazed, conjured a tornado of fire in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, he prepared to shift his position again, but the moment he moved, he felt an intense sense of dissonance.
The extreme discord between his movement and his senses put Paimon on alert.
Everything before him suddenly dissolved into illusion; the fire tornado hadn’t blocked the opponent’s advance as expected.
Illusion!
In just the span of a blink, the figure was already there!
Just as the human-faced camel was about to howl again, the sword, glowing with cyan light, came down!
Paimon raised his scepter to block, but his arm was severed along with it!
The strange cyan sword energy continued to ravage Paimon’s physical body and even his soul!
That’s right, his soul!
The Demon-Slaying effect targeted the core essence. Paimon, possessing the boy, had his soul severely wounded!
“What sword is that?!”
Paimon cried out in disbelief, writhing in agony.
He had never known such a method existed.
Not only his soul, but his actual physical body elsewhere was also being damaged!
Could it be some kind of holy sword?
How was that possible!
Paimon flickered, vanishing from his spot, fleeing in another direction.
He continuously manipulated various elemental and dark magic, bombarding Su Fan relentlessly!
Su Fan pursued closely, sticking to him like glue, channeling spiritual power into his longsword.
No matter how many tricks you use, I’ll cut through them all with one sword!
While chasing Paimon, Su Fan suddenly noticed the trio arriving on the scene!
Ron seized the moment, gathering the dark clouds and directing a lightning strike right at the fleeing Paimon!
Paimon’s full attention was on Su Fan; he hadn’t even considered the three a threat.
Caught off guard, he was struck by the lightning, his entire body seizing up!
Taking advantage of the opening Ron created, Su Fan surged forward, aiming straight for Paimon’s head!
Just then, one of the faces on the camel suddenly contorted hideously, eventually taking on the appearance of a withered old man.
Su Fan was shocked to find he had somehow retreated back to his previous position.
As the face changed, Paimon’s shattered body began to restore itself, as if time was rewinding!
Turning back time?!
Su Fan’s heart sank.
He quickly waved his hand, activating Er Qu.
The three were sent flying backward!
“Don’t come over!! RUN!!”
A warning from Meng Tou flashed through Su Fan’s mind.
Paimon was about to go berserk!
Across from him, Paimon, who had earlier been cold and aloof like a god looking down on ants, exhaled white mist, and blood tears streamed from his eyes!!
His wounds were healed, but that didn’t mean he was fully recovered.
Paimon constantly felt that strange power destroying his body.
The unprecedented agony finally made Paimon lose his composure!
He rose into the sky, his mouth tearing open to an impossible size, unleashing a roar that shook the heavens and earth.
Vast stretches of ground crumbled and collapsed. Lava erupted, and pillars of fire shot skyward like giant pillars holding up the heavens!
This catastrophe was about to engulf the entire community, turning everything within miles into a lake of molten rock, dooming all living creatures!!
The police officers exchanging fire with the cultists and the three who had fled were all caught within its scope!
Lava spewed into the sky, crashing down like a tsunami. Even before it touched them, the scorching air was already burning the exposed skin of the humans!
Ron and the others hadn’t managed to run far before death closed in on them.
Just as they were about to be swallowed by the lava,
Su Fan focused his will, spiritual energy surging wildly within him!
In an instant, this hellish scene vanished as if it had never happened!
Su Fan let out a grunt.
He had used Jia Meng to switch reality with a dream!
Neutralizing Paimon’s large-scale destructive magic!
Using such a supernatural ability to alter reality on this scale came with severe backlash.
His head throbbed with pain, blood gushed from his nose and mouth, yet Su Fan grinned, laughing mockingly up at Paimon!
Time reversal? Demon Lord of Hell? Impressive, aren’t you?!
That’s all you’ve got!!!!
His movements, however, showed no hesitation. He raised his longsword and erupted with unimaginable, terrifying speed!
In the span of a single breath, he shot high into the sky. The fierce wind lifted him, letting him hover face to face with Paimon.
Su Fan raised his hand.
Summon!
The lightning, which had been churning in the thunderclouds, thick as several yards, converged toward Su Fan.
All the remaining Five Thunder Talismans scattered, further empowering the lightning. The Thunderstrike Wood resonated. A fierce gleam filled Su Fan’s eyes.
Still not enough!
Demon-Slaying!
A cyan light flowed from Su Fan’s hand, merging into the ever-expanding mass of lightning!
Forcibly combining two completely unrelated powers, Su Fan coughed up more blood, but a maddened grin spread across his face.
He would use this awe-inspiring heavenly might to utterly annihilate the demon before him!
If you can take it, then give it a try!!!
Su Fan raised his hand high and brought it crashing down!
Maybe it’s because my updates have been slow, but a lot of people felt this fight scene was dragging on… Actually, it’s almost done.
