Its entire body was drenched in blood. It shot backward like a cannonball, crashing into a ruined wall with a loud BOOM and embedding itself in the structure.
It wasn’t dead; it was still alive.
The next moment, thousands upon thousands of streams of Saber Qi erupted from within its body, instantly shredding it into a bloody pulp that slid down the wall.
The streams of Saber Qi flew back, swirling around Lu Mingyuan’s six long sabers to form a domain of Saber Qi a hundred zhang in radius.
The Demon Beasts atop the ruined wall were all dumbstruck. It was the first time they had seen someone wield a saber with such exquisite, fluid mastery—even more skillfully than a Sword Cultivator!
"So terrifying! He killed the Ox Demon King with just a flick of his finger. With the Ox Demon King’s Cultivation, he didn’t even have a chance to escape—he was completely crushed!"
...
The Barbaric Beasts were all terrified and immediately notified the other Demon Kings fighting within the city.
Only a more powerful Demon King, taking action personally, could suppress him.
[Deep Blue Destiny - Blade Master, Refinement Level increased to 55%]
[Azure Destiny - Martial Venerable, Refinement Level increased to 90%]
Thirty zhang from the city gate, Lu Mingyuan stopped and stared at the Human Race Cultivators hanging from the ruined wall, his expression calm.
Princes Lu Guangjing and Lu Yunqing were not among them. He didn’t know if they were inside the city, or if they had been teleported to some distant place and were not here at all.
A Ninth Realm Golden Core Great Cultivator spoke, his voice weak, "Hurry and leave... This place is a lost cause... You can’t change anything. Once a more powerful Demon King appears, or that Tenth Realm Demon Venerable leaves the city, you won’t be able to escape even if you want to..."
Lu Mingyuan remained silent, ignoring him. He carefully observed the iron spikes pinning them and detected powerful fluctuations of Demon Qi.
The black iron spikes were actually a type of Demon Race Magical Treasure, suppressing the power within their bodies. This made it impossible for them to break free and escape, leaving them to watch helplessly as they bled to death.
’Such powerful Demon Power. It seems there is a Tenth Realm Demon Venerable among the Demon Race. He must have been the one who defeated Luo Qiufu.’
Lu Mingyuan was able to deduce his opponent’s strength from the fluctuations of Demon Qi contained within the iron spikes.
Lu Mingyuan extended a hand, spreading his five fingers, and released his Spiritual Power.
On the ruined wall, the black iron spikes pinning dozens of Human Race Cultivators all began to tremble slightly, emitting a piercing sound.
The Human Race Cultivators were all shocked. They knew all too well just how terrifying the Demon who owned the black iron spikes pinning their bodies was.
They had all resigned themselves to their fate, believing death was certain today and escape was impossible.
Now, a young man had appeared out of nowhere, possessing enough power to shake the black iron spikes piercing their bodies.
"Withdraw."
Lu Mingyuan curled his five fingers into a fist and pulled his arm back.
Dozens of black iron spikes all flew out. Under Lu Mingyuan’s control, they spun once in mid-air before flying toward the Demon Beasts on top of the ruined wall.
A wave of wretched screams erupted as over a hundred Barbaric Beasts fell from the towering wall.
The grievously injured Human Race Cultivators slid down the wall, collapsing to the ground. They all lay there, coughing up blood.
Only about a dozen people were still alive, all of them severely injured.
Of course, the Human Race Cultivators who had managed to survive were all top-tier experts.
Their strength was all at the Middle Fifth Grade.
Lu Mingyuan administered a Healing Elixir to both Luo Qiufu and the Nanli Princess. Afterward, he tossed a bottle of elixirs to the strongest cultivator present, instructing him to distribute the Healing Elixirs.
Everyone looked at Lu Mingyuan with gratitude. At the same time, their gazes held a mix of awe and curiosity about the identity of the person beneath the mask.
’Who in the world is he? How can he possess such immense strength and mastery of the Saber Technique at the same time?’
ROAR!
Just then, the furious roar of a Demon King echoed from the center of Yingsha Ancient City. The roars and the thundering of hooves grew closer, rushing rapidly toward the city gate.
The ground trembled, the shaking growing more and more violent.
A Demon King was charging toward the city gate. A powerful, savage aura transformed into a torrent of air that surged out from within the gate.
Below the city wall, the heavily injured Human Race Cultivators suppressed their wounds and immediately tried to flee into the distance.
In their extremely weakened state, a single breath from a Demon King could kill them.
However, they discovered that the young man had not fled. Instead, he stood ramrod straight before the city gate. A translucent golden barrier of light enveloped him, blocking the torrent of air rushing from the gate.
"Flee! A more powerful Demon King is coming! If you don’t run for your life, you’ll die here!" one of the grievously injured old men shouted to Lu Mingyuan as he fled, but no response came.
A crimson light surged from the city gate, instantly turning the world within a three-hundred-li radius blood-red.
Once touched by the crimson light, the fleeing Human Race Cultivators were all locked in place. Immediately after, an immense, oppressive pressure descended upon them, pinning them so they could not move.
’So we can’t escape after all?’
Everyone felt a bitter despair. Looking back, they saw two massive mountains charging out from within the crimson radiance.
No.
Those weren’t mountains. They were the bodies of two Demon Kings.
The Monkey Great Demon and the Cyan Lion Great Demon.
