The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6634

This was what remained after the guard packs had worn them down and all five teams had surrounded the demon hound king together.

More than half of the hundred or so cultivators were injured.

Half of those were too badly hurt to keep fighting.

Of the five leaders, four were wounded, and one was close to death.

Then Jared walked out of the shadows of the cavern.

His steps were light.

But on the blood-slick stone floor, every footfall was clear.

The demon hound king's heavy breathing echoed through the cave. Its blood-red eyes turned toward the newcomer.

Golden Immortal Level One.

The enormous beast judged him by instinct almost at once.

Then it looked away.

It returned its attention to the five badly injured leaders and continued pulling its aura tight around its wounds.

Harlan Ironhall clutched his bleeding left arm and looked Jared over. His brows twisted into a deep knot.

"Golden Immortal Level One? Are you here to die? Get out before that thing notices you."

The last word had not fully left his mouth when the young Golden Immortal Level One cultivator had already walked past him.

Jared did not move quickly.

He did not hesitate either.

His path was straight.

He was walking toward the demon hound king.

He raised his right hand.

The Dragonslayer Sword came out.

Violet sword-light erupted in the cavern's darkness like lightning tearing open the sky.

Chaotic force.

The primal force that restrained all other powers.

The demon hound king's blood-red pupils shrank.

The power carried by this sword was different from everything the human cultivators had thrown at it earlier.

It was ancient destruction, the kind that made every demon beast tremble by instinct.

Relying on survival instincts forged over tens of thousands of years, the demon hound king twisted aside in the instant the violet lightning fell.

The sword-light still cut across its shoulder blade.

A wound opened so deep that the bone membrane showed.

Black blood sprayed onto the cavern wall and corroded dense pits into the hard limestone.

The demon hound king let out a shrill roar.

For the first time, fear appeared in its blood-red eyes.

A Golden Immortal Level Seven demon hound king had just had its body-wall defense cut open by a Golden Immortal Level One human.

If that story spread back to the packs at the edge of demon hound territory, not one beast would believe it.

Blood surged from the wound like a spring.

But the higher a demon beast's grade, the more its savagery overwhelmed fear once it was injured.

The demon hound king lifted its massive head.

Two brutal flames burned in its blood-red pupils within the dark cavern.

Spiritual power surged through its body. All the bone spikes along its back stood upright, and rings of black baleful energy coiled around their tips.

It stopped conserving power.

While pushing its body-wall defense to the limit, it gathered every bit of remaining strength into a destructive energy mass inside its mouth.

A few seconds later, a black-red shockwave mixed with baleful energy and corrosive demon power blasted from its jaws.

Every stone pillar in its path vaporized instantly.

Jared did not take the attack head-on.

At the same moment the shockwave erupted, he activated the seed of spatial law and shifted himself to the beast's side.

The destructive black-red torrent brushed past the edge of his robe and slammed into the cavern wall, melting a bottomless hole through several yards of rock.

Another beast needed room to move.

This was suppression of rank.

The unicorn bloodline.

The sovereign bloodline among beasts.

Under ordinary circumstances, the demon hound king might have used its realm advantage to forcibly suppress the pressure from a young unicorn's bloodline.

But now, the five teams had drained more than sixty percent of its stamina and spiritual power. More than a dozen wounds across its body were still bleeding.

Facing the rank pressure of unicorn truefire, it felt a choking sense of death closing in.

That small demon beast carried flame power strong enough to threaten a Golden Immortal Level Seven demon beast.

"Use everything you have," Jared told Lucky.

Lucky gave an excited low growl.

Its four hooves stepped over broken stone and blood as it lunged at the demon hound king.

Its body pulled a red arc through the air, moving so fast that only a trail of fire remained behind it.

Jared moved at the same time.

The Dragonslayer Sword turned in his hand, and violet sword-light poured down on the demon hound king like a storm.

Man and beast worked together with a precision that even an experienced hunting squad could not match.

Jared attacked from the front.

Every sword aimed at a vital point, forcing the demon hound king to focus on the violet blade that could cut off its head at any moment.

Lucky attacked from the side, from behind, and even from beneath the demon hound king's belly.

Unicorn truefire burned through the outer scales of its body-wall defense at an astonishing speed.

The demon hound king's enormous body became that of a trapped beast before them.

If it dodged left, violet sword-light was already waiting along that path.

If it charged right, unicorn truefire blocked the landing point.

Jared's sword only grew faster.

Violet light wove through the cavern, forming a vast net of sword-light that sealed the demon hound king completely inside.
