Chapter 214 - 166: A Formidable Figure Appears, Thunder Prison Slashes the World, Saber Charges the Bull, Promotion to Martial Venerable
"Oh! There’s actually a Human Race Cultivator still alive over there?"
"Since he’s not dead, he should be running for his life. Instead, he comes looking for death. What an absolute idiot."
"No one else touch him! This prey is mine!"
...
Terrifying, oppressive auras emanated from atop the city wall. Numerous Demon Kings, as imposing as iron towers or great mountains, stared down with greedy eyes, letting out wild laughter.
The Barbaric Beasts were surprised. They hadn’t expected a Human Race Cultivator to show up at Yingsha Ancient City now that the battle was nearly over. That’s why they jeered, their gazes toward Lu Mingyuan tinged with mockery.
More than twenty Black Scorpion Beast minions crawled out from the yellow sand, appearing before Lu Mingyuan. They spewed black, poisonous mist from their mouths, their eyes glowing with a sinister green light.
Anyone could see the intense killing intent radiating from them. They were preparing to tear the human man before them limb from limb.
As Lu Mingyuan walked, he noticed that about ten meters away, Luo Qiufu, the Eldest Princess of the Golden Crow Country, was still alive, but barely. An iron spike had pierced her snow-white neck, pinning her to a ruined wall. Her entire body was stained red with the blood gushing from the wound.
Her once-delicate face hung low, covered in soot and bloodstains. She was unconscious.
The Nanli Princess, Li Muwan, was also alive. Something had pierced through her abdomen, leaving a gaping hole. Her Li Flame Armor, now barely visible, was severely damaged and had grown dim. The only thing she hadn’t let go of was the crimson Flying Sword clutched in her hand.
Her face was pale as she lay on the ground, having already lost consciousness.
The scene before him could only be described as one of ruin and desolation.
The two women’s Cultivation was among the best of the Human Race’s prodigies. Li Muwan was an Eighth Realm Qi Cultivator. He had been surprised back then that Nanli could produce such a talent.
Luo Qiufu was no weaker. She was a Golden Core Great Cultivator who, with her Immortal Sword Jin Yu, could withstand attacks from the Tenth and Eleventh Realms.
’Even among those in the same Eighth or Ninth Realm, there are clear distinctions in power.’
Lu Mingyuan mused as he walked, his heart filled with countless emotions.
On the surface, the prodigies of the Human Race were already very strong.
But the various Demon Kings had clawed their way up from a sea of Desolate Demon corpses, stepping on the flesh and blood of their own kind to claim their titles. Their ferocity was beyond what any Human Race Cultivator could imagine.
The so-called Demon Slaying Conference had been deceiving the Human Race for over a hundred years.
The Human Race still had a long way to go.
Hearing the jeers from the city wall, the surviving Human Race Cultivators hanging on the ruined wall slowly opened their eyes, staring at the man approaching step by step.
"Quick... run..."
A Golden Core Great Cultivator’s voice came out, low and hoarse, as faint as a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
In their eyes, there were far too many Demon Kings present.
Even a Tenth Realm expert would be unable to handle such a massive demon army.
Only an Eleventh or Twelfth Realm existence could handle this.
Unfortunately, they had been separated from most of the Human Race’s top experts. Even if any were here, they wouldn’t be able to counter the Demon Race’s backup plans.
Luo Qiufu, the strongest among them, naturally also opened her dull, listless eyes to stare at the rather unfamiliar human man.
He was young and handsome, with an air of noble rebelliousness. He certainly didn’t look like a powerful expert; he looked more like a playboy, a silk-pants scion.
Now, he was surrounded by dozens of Black Scorpion Beasts, with so many Demon Kings on the city wall above. He was almost certainly going to die.
In the past few days, they had seen so much death that they had grown somewhat numb.
However, as Luo Qiufu’s gaze fixed on him, she felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him before. But due to her massive blood loss, she couldn’t recall where.
"Hurry... leave... The city has fallen. Find... a powerful human expert... to save us."
As she spoke these words, blood gushed from her mouth, and more flowed from her pierced throat.
Ultimately, due to excessive blood loss, what little willpower she had left was quickly ground away. Drowsiness washed over her, and she fainted.
"Your Cultivation is truly impressive. To think you can still speak. No wonder you were able to kill so many of our experts and cost us three Demon Kings."
An Ox Demon, half-man and half-beast, stood below the city gate with a War Axe resting on its shoulder. It sneered, then lashed out with a Flaming Whip. The whip struck Luo Qiufu, leaving a deep, bloody gash on her right leg.
However, the human man didn’t heed their advice. Not only did he not flee, he continued walking toward Yingsha City.
The half-man, half-beast Ox Demon stared at Lu Mingyuan and snorted coldly. "Kill him. Tear his body to shreds."
The twenty-some Black Scorpion Beasts pounced on Lu Mingyuan all at once.
Each of their bodies was seven to eight meters long, and they possessed two sharp pincers that glinted with the cold, piercing light of a blade.
The Human Race Cultivators hanging on the ruined wall all sighed. Some of them simply closed their eyes, unable to watch what was about to happen.
Lu Mingyuan didn’t stop walking. He simply extended a hand and pressed forward.
Instantly, a domain formed of Sword Intent radiated outwards, creating a powerful, invisible pressure that spread in all directions.
SPLAT! SPLAT!
The Black Scorpion Beasts in mid-air all let out miserable shrieks. Their carapaces shattered and their bodies burst open, turning into a vast, crimson mist, as if something had pierced straight through them.
Seeing this, the Human Race Cultivators hanging on the ruined wall all opened their eyes again, looks of astonishment on their faces.
