At that moment, a Jiudog seemed to notice Grace Harper leaving. With a horizontal slash of its long blade, it tried to cut Summer Clark in two with a single stroke!

Summer Clark broke out in a cold sweat, his mind reaching out to the divine tree in his consciousness.

A long sword, silver and blue intertwined, immediately flew out from the void. Its speed was neither fast nor slow, yet it flickered with a strange, demonic red light.

The Jiudog saw this bizarre long sword, which showed no sign of spiritual energy fluctuations, thrusting toward him. Before his expression could even change, the sword easily severed his long blade and then pierced into his flesh.

This Jiudog could never have imagined, even in his dreams, that he would be killed by a human with no spiritual energy at all!

After killing the Jiudog, the long sword turned in the air and returned to Summer Clark, who grasped it in his hand.

Summer Clark hadn’t even had time to catch his breath.

A burly Ji guard soldier was being forced toward him by a powerful evil hound.

This youth from Taicang, about twenty years old, gripped a heavy sword in both hands. The vine armor on his body was tattered, blood streaming from countless wounds, yet his face was resolute as he fought and retreated.

His aura was extremely fierce. In just a few steps, his heavy sword slashed furiously, killing two Jiudogs in succession!

The evil hound attacked from the side, and the youth barely managed to block a wolf’s claw.

The wolf-fang club then struck the youth’s chest hard, sending him flying back with blood spurting from his mouth, landing beside Summer Clark.

Just from this one blow, the strength of this evil hound was likely at the seventh heaven realm!

The evil hound eyed them menacingly, slowly closing in on Summer Clark and the youth.

Summer Clark glanced at the burly youth who was still coughing up blood, then looked at the evil hound, and suddenly stepped back.

The youth noticed Summer Clark’s movement.

His eyes showed a hint of despair.

The evil hound also shook his head. He had never seen such a cowardly Taicang person.

But the evil hound didn’t intend to waste words. On the battlefield, things changed in an instant. The surrounding Cang Guard Army was still desperately resisting the Predator Army and the Evil Hound Army.

At this moment, Summer Clark seemed extremely panicked.

He hurriedly ran toward the area where the Cang Guard Army was more numerous.

At the same time, Summer Clark’s body trembled, his expression twisted, gasping for breath, as if he was terrified to the extreme.

The evil hound saw this cowardly Taicang human about to run into the ranks of the Cang Guard soldiers.

He immediately gave up on the Taicang youth to his left front, who was some distance away, and chased after Summer Clark.

He had clearly noticed that, although this fleeing human’s clothes were still nothing special, compared to ordinary humans, they were much better.

Obviously, in a small country of just over six hundred thousand people,

For Summer Clark to wear such clothes, his status must not be low.

If he could cut off his head, this evil hound would receive quite a reward.

But just then—

As Summer Clark was fleeing,

A long sword suddenly slipped out from under his wide clothes.

It shimmered with spiritual light.

And emitted a very peculiar aura.

Many evil hounds nearby immediately turned their heads, greed flashing across their faces.

If not for the Cang Guard Army holding them back,

They would probably have rushed over to snatch this strange long sword.

The evil hound chasing Summer Clark also froze in his tracks.

He had already reached the spot where the sword had fallen.

His eyes instantly filled with wild joy.

The evil hound ignored chasing Summer Clark, and quickly bent down to pick up the long sword.

He held the sword, swung it forcefully a couple of times, and channeled spiritual energy into it, discovering that the sword’s red glow blazed even brighter—it was truly a rare treasure.

Sensing the surging power fed back from the sword, he grinned widely. As expected, this human was no ordinary person.

He actually had such a treasured sword on him?

Just as his laughter grew more gleeful—

Summer Clark, who had been fleeing in a panic, suddenly stopped in his tracks. With his back to the evil hound, all the negative expressions on his face vanished without a trace.

He even revealed a hint of a smile.

The next instant!

A surge of equally immense power erupted from the long sword, breaking free from the completely unprepared evil hound’s paw.

Before he could react, the sword thrust upward from below, piercing through the evil hound’s lower jaw and out the top of his head!

The powerful evil hound who had just been laughing triumphantly died with his eyes wide open!

Chapter 8: Are You Ready to Die?

Grace Harper held a crimson long sword in her hand, and the strength of a ninth heaven expert finally began to show.

Even though she looked like a small beast in front of the three-zhang-tall Gold-Eating Giant Ape, as if the ape could crush her with a single step,

Yet, the crimson long sword in Grace Harper’s hand erupted with an incredibly terrifying sword aura.

The sword aura condensed into substance, transforming into a giant sword of two zhang in length.

Each time Grace Harper dodged the giant ape’s fierce attacks, leaping high and swinging her sword, she left a bloody wound on the ape.

Summer Clark, while struggling to fend off the Jiudogs’ attacks, marveled at Grace Harper’s unbelievable combat prowess.

“So this is a ninth heaven at perfection, a powerhouse about to ascend to the Divine Ability Realm?”

Summer Clark gripped the Sword of Vengeance, Fragarach, in his hand, and the Sword of Vengeance finally ceased to hide itself.

It turned into a stream of light, guarding Summer Clark on the brutal battlefield, allowing him to survive.

A burning excitement surged through Summer Clark’s heart.
