Ashton was practically gambling with his life. He wasn’t afraid of dying at all!
Flint furrowed his brow. He knew that he needed to put everything on the line too.
He had to cast aside all thoughts of life and death, but when it came down to it, he always chose to stay on the defensive side. He didn’t dare to give up his own life in order to kill Ashton.
In contrast, Ashton’s ruthless resolve was precisely why his powers were surging once again. In a split moment, he closed the distance between them and slammed his battered body into Flint.
With a loud bang, Flint’s body shuddered before blood began to ooze from his mouth. The sheer force of Ashton’s blow had sent him staggering several steps backward.
Although Flint had technically attained the divine realm, his physical body wasn’t significantly stronger than it was before. He had achieved his breakthrough through consuming pills. Hence, his physical strength didn’t increase at the same rate as his cultivation.
“Sixfold Lightning Strike!” Ashton roared again.
His punches kept growing quicker. Within the one–foot radius of his Absolute Domain, he compressed every ounce of his powers into a single point before unleashing it over and over again.
A series of explosions rang out. Under Ashton’s merciless attacks, Flint’s divine realm defenses slowly began to falter. He no longer had the strength to withstand such a violent assault.
“How is this possible?” he rasped.
Flint was drenched in sweat. After being repeatedly forced back by Ashton’s attacks, he was finally overcome with a strong sense
of anguish.
He had already used up all of his trump cards. Logically speaking, he should’ve been able to kill Ashton more than once. But to his surprise, Ashton was still alive. To make matters worse, he had managed to drive him to the brink of despair.
Flint’s spiritual energy was nearly depleted, and his defenses were growing weaker. Despite the existence of a light barrier, his body was severely injured, and blood was seeping from his wounds.
“Elon Dragon Slash!”
At that moment, Ashton seized his chance. With a sweep of his hand, a colossal black blade materialized in midair before it aggressively swung down toward Flint.
Imbued with the powers of fire and lightning, the blade tore through every single one of Flint’s defenses and pierced straight through his chest without any hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, blood was everywhere.
Flint let out a shrill and ruptured cry as his body wavered in the air. He was desperately trying to remain upright.
Furious, he glared at Ashton and realized that his figure was swaying too. On top of that, his strength was rapidly plummeting as well. He felt like a dying man!
Evidently, Ashton’s injuries were even worse than his. They were both on the brink of death. Now, it was simply a question of who would collapse first.
Flint let out a mangled roar before he forced himself to stand upright. But then, his eyes suddenly widened in terror.
Ashton was now standing directly before him. Ashton’s hands were covered in bulging veins. Dark flames and crackling lightning were also raging in between his fingers.

“Is that all you’ve got, old man? Is this the so–called peak of your abilities?” Ashton sneered.
He cackled and continued, “You’re just an impotent and evil man who has betrayed your own country. You deserve to die. Now, accept your punishment!”
With a thunderous bang, Ashton dove forward and headed straight toward Flint with his fist outstretched. Panting, the latter tried to gather the strength to defend himself.
But to his dismay, he realized that he wasn’t able to do anything. In the end, he could only watch as Ashton’s fist eventually collided with his body.
