Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 1020 - 1021: Merging Arms

The shadow hands crossed each other and forcefully drew to the sides, causing Lorand's two arms to produce waves, sweeping towards both sides.

The sword blade swiftly slashed, and Yang Yu opened a door on one of the waves, bypassing it and thrusting towards Lorand's injured chest.

Reaching out with a shadow hand, Lorand's figure vanished.

He utilized the spreading black waves to complete an instant movement, returning to the center of the battle stage.

Lorand clasped his hands, elbows colliding, and amazingly, the two shadow hands merged together, wonderfully overlapping to become a single thick right hand.

A black thread crawled from the black cut surface of his left shoulder across Lorand's chest, connecting to the thick right hand.

Lorand's two shadow hands had astonishingly become one.

As Lorand just got ready, Yang Yu's figure appeared right before him.

How is this possible?

Arriving in front of me so swiftly means he predicted I would move before I cast [Shadow Riding], and after I moved, he quickly reacted and followed up.

I never exposed that move before, how did he know I would use it?

Instinct?

Is it purely combat intuition?

Or could it be... he has seen me fight with all my strength before?

Several thoughts flashed through Lorand's mind.

But Yang Yu's attack wouldn't wait for him to figure it out, the sharp blade stirring like the wind, leaving several blood marks on Lorand's chest.

Clearing his thoughts, Lorand lifted the gigantic black shadow hand that had become disproportionate to his body, aiming to smash Yang Yu.

He released countless black spheres from the palm of his right hand, like smoke bombs, tracing black threads in the air, scattering around Yang Yu, forming a giant web with powerful gravity.

The threads forming the giant web had a binding effect, anyone trying to escape from the web, once touched it, would be wrapped by the black threads, making it difficult to move.

Yang Yu had become a turtle in the jar.

The black arm smashed into the center of the giant web, a booming sound resounded, causing the battle stage to crack rapidly at an unimaginable speed.

A strong shockwave spread outward from the center of impact, raising dust, and blowing countless black towards the giant web woven by the shadow hand.

However, Lorand's gigantic palm failed to hit the real Yang Yu, and the black web didn't capture any prey.

Lorand had only pounced on a void-like phantom; Yang Yu had already escaped before Lorand's shadow hand struck down.

He deliberately left a shadow to attract Lorand's attention, using the gap where Lorand concentrated his mind to attack the decoy, he moved to Lorand's left side without a shadow hand and swung the sword.

What Yang Yu didn't expect was that this series of moves fell right into Lorand's plan.

The black thread connecting the swollen right arm was instantly cut, and a new shadow hand grew from Lorand's pitch-black, smooth cut surface, penetrating Yang Yu's sword and reaching for Yang Yu's throat.

Lorand wanted to seize Yang Yu's throat before Yang Yu's sword could touch his throat.

At first glance, Yang Yu's sword seemed longer, and it would be Yang Yu to succeed first, but don't forget Lorand could launch his shadow hand.

Lorand's newly grown left hand detached from his shoulder, retaining only a small black line to maintain connection, the entire arm, like a torpedo, shot towards Yang Yu's neck.

Swiftly withdrawing his sword, Yang Yu turned his head to let the black arm graze his hair.

Yang Yu didn't try to compete who could grab the other's neck faster, since the opponent's abilities were not fully revealed, attacking the vital point would be quite foolish.

The golden glow in his eyes gradually faded, [Breaking Cauldrons and Sinking Boats] was about to disappear, and a feeling of weakness gradually surged in Yang Yu's heart.

After dodging Lorand's arm, Yang Yu didn't linger in the fight but quickly distanced himself from Lorand with rustling footsteps.

Sensing Yang Yu growing weak, Lorand wanted to pursue immediately.

But due to his own wounds, he didn't pursue right away; instead, he activated the regeneration skill, allowing the wounds inflicted by Yang Yu to gradually recover.

Immediately following, Lorand released several enhancement skills in succession, the mist forming the shadow hand spread over his whole body, from a distance, Lorand seemed clad in a layer of black armor.

Prepared, Lorand charged towards Yang Yu like a cannon, dragging a long black tail behind him.

Yang Yu didn't dodge, using [Escape Expert] to lift the slowdown from himself, he countercharged towards Lorand.

The black shadow flashed behind Yang Yu, merging into Yang Yu's sword blade, as he aimed to slash Lorand's chest.

Lorand twisted his body, trying to avoid Yang Yu's [Shadow Deception], yet Yang Yu's sword blade drew a bizarre arc in the air, grazing Lorand's underarm skin.

[Shadow Deception] is very different from many skills.

The damage from an attack depends on several factors like the attacker's attack power, the area hit, the force of the strike, etc., but [Shadow Deception] needs only a hit determination to unleash its effect, meaning even a slight scratch would enable [Shadow Deception] to inflict damage according to the opponent's strength.

Being wounded again by Yang Yu, Lorand lifted his black dual arms, aiming to smash Yang Yu.

Flicking the sword blade, Yang Yu's sword met Lorand's arm, emitting a piercing sound like steel colliding.

As Yang Yu anticipated, his defending time was but a fleeting moment.

Shortly after Yang Yu's sword blade struck Lorand's materialized arm, Lorand's arm pierced through Yang Yu's sword blade, crashing towards Yang Yu's shoulder.

Yang Yu stood still without budging, letting Lorand's punch impact him, this amount of damage he could withstand.

A simple sharp light flashed on the sword, as Yang Yu used [Sharp Blade], increasing his sword strike's damage by 10%, striking against Lorand's body.

Both sides exchanged blood volume.

In terms of the amount of exchanged blood, Yang Yu suffered slightly, but under Yang Yu's earlier aggressive stance, Lorand had already lost quite a bit of blood, and even using the regeneration skill, his blood volume was less than half.

This strike, Yang Yu further lowered Lorand's blood volume.

Moreover, lowering the blood volume wasn't without benefits for Yang Yu either.

[Fury Blood] and [Sudden Killing Intent] both have blood volume release limits, by lowering his own blood volume, Yang Yu could utilize these two skills sooner as well.

Lorand also knew Yang Yu possessed those two skills, but he couldn't cease his attack.

It was rare for Yang Yu to be weak, he should seize the chance to strike while he is down!

With arms continuously crossing in attack, Yang Yu deftly dodged and blocked. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

With over eighty thousand blood, Yang Yu had ample room for mistakes.

But Yang Yu didn't relax his vigilance just because he had sufficient operating room.

Yang Yu tensed his nerves with every step, extremely cautious, almost without any errors, demonstrating an unimaginable intensity of suppression.
