The Heavenly Fiend Great Demon, in Xu Fan's slashing strike, cut into Zhulong's back, inflicting severe injuries, causing the latter to faint and collapse, and the world before its eyes grew dark as it lost the strength to keep itself aloft and plummeted towards the ground.
But it wasn't dead yet.
Ordinarily, with the Heavenly Fiend Great Demon's might, not only killing Zhulong would be easy, but splitting it in half would have been effortless too.
However, this second sword strike once again met with an unexpected barrier: A red dawn-like light burst out suddenly from Zhulong's body, instantly forming a protective barrier that blocked ninety percent of the power of Xu Fan's strike.
Xu Fan stood in place, overlooking the fall of Zhulong, but he was on high alert like a bristling cat, sensing a chilling intent locking on him from above the sky at this very moment.
His heartstrings tightened, and his body stiffened as he abruptly looked up into the sky above him.
