Immortal Martial Emperor

"With me here, do you think you can kill him?"

A calm voice accompanied a figure that had appeared out of thin air.

At this moment, just as Tang Tian was bringing a sharp sword down on Xu Wen’s head, the blade was caught bare-handed by the suddenly-appeared youth at the last possible second.

Everyone was stunned!

They stared in horror at the boy who had appeared like a ghost.

Tang Tian was beyond shocked. ’I’m a dignified powerhouse with an Early-Stage Primordial Embryo Realm Cultivation! A single strike from my sword can cleave a mountain, yet someone just caught my blade bare-handed with sheer physical strength?’

His pupils constricting slightly, Tang Tian looked at the newcomer. He frowned, feeling that the youth before him looked somewhat familiar.

Soon, his expression changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost. "It’s... it’s... it’s you?"

At that moment, the others also realized the newcomer’s identity!

Dressed in black, with a handsome face, and the corners of his lips turned up in a faint, roguish smile.

This person could be none other than Hong Yu!

Hong Yu grinned. "You’re from the Tang Family?"

"Hong Yu, you actually dare to interfere in the affairs of my Tang Family and the Xu Family?" Tang Tian was both shocked and enraged.

He tried to pull his Treasure Sword back, but it was as if it were rooted in place, completely immovable.

His expression shifted slightly. Tang Tian took a deep breath, his eyes glinting with a vicious light. "Hong Yu, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because Blood Cyan Robe said he wouldn’t kill you as long as you don’t go past the Third Layer. My Tang Family and the Cheng Family have already allied with the Blood Demon Palace. If you back down right now, I can let this slide. Otherwise, the moment I report this to Blood Cyan Robe, he will definitely kill you!"

Nearby, Cheng Fu, his hands clenched into Steel Fists, also stared coldly. "Hong Yu, you’d better think this through. Don’t bring ruin upon yourself!"

Facing their threats and pressure, Hong Yu simply kept smiling.

He glanced back at the Xu Family powerhouses behind him.

Xu Wen gave a bitter smile. "Vice Chairman Hong, I am Xu Wen!"

"I recognize you. You’re Wudi’s uncle!" Hong Yu said with a smile.

Xu Wen nodded, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and said bitterly, "Vice Chairman Hong, both Tang Tian and Cheng Fu are Early-stage Primordial Embryo Realm powerhouses. With their combined strength, I’m afraid you’re no match for them. You should just leave us."

Pausing for a moment, Xu Wen took out the young beast egg he was carrying. "I only ask that Vice Chairman Hong help me get this Desolate Beast cub’s egg out of here. As long as you can deliver it to our Patriarch, the Xu Family will have a chance to survive this game."

"Hm? An Ice Lion Emperor cub? The Ice Tower really is full of treasures!"

Hong Yu glanced at the translucent beast egg in surprise, then asked in confusion, "Hasn’t Wudi already gone to the Ancient Ice Glacier on the Sixth Layer? With her strength, shouldn’t she be able to gain enough of an advantage there to suppress the other True Dragon Geniuses?"

Xu Wen smiled bitterly. "Under normal circumstances, Wudi could naturally do it. But I received word that Blood Cyan Robe obtained a certain Treasure on the Fifth Layer. His combat power has doubled, and Wudi is no longer his match. With the interference from the Tang and Cheng Family powerhouses, her chances of victory are extremely slim."

"Worse," Xu Wen’s face filled with despair and indignation, "under these circumstances, Wudi is struggling just to protect herself. They haven’t even reached the Sixth Layer yet. Once the fight for the Ancient Ice Glacier begins, Blood Cyan Robe definitely won’t hold back anymore."

Hong Yu’s sharp brows furrowed as he fell into thought.

After a long moment, he let out a helpless sigh and murmured, "Looks like I’ll have to hurry over to the Ancient Ice Glacier as well."

"What? You’re going to the Ancient Ice Glacier?"

Xu Wen exclaimed.

Hong Yu nodded.

Xu Wen said anxiously, "Absolutely not! Wudi specifically instructed me that if I saw you, I must not let you go past the Third Layer. Otherwise, Blood Cyan Robe will definitely attack you. With Blood Cyan Robe’s current strength, not even Wudi could protect you!"

"Hong Yu, stop messing around. Hurry up and take the Desolate Beast cub out of the Ice Tower. Protecting my Xu Family is what’s important."

"That’s right, Hong Yu! If you go now, not only will you be unable to help the Second Miss, but you’ll also just be throwing your life away!"

The members of the Xu Family, suppressing their injuries, all tried to persuade him.

Hong Yu rubbed his nose, feeling a bit helpless. ’Why do they always have so little faith in me?’

Behind Hong Yu, Tang Tian and Cheng Fu heard their conversation and exchanged a glance. A mocking, derisive sneer flickered in their eyes.

"Hahaha, Hong Yu, you really are arrogant! Do you really think Blood Cyan Robe wouldn’t dare to touch you just because you’re the Vice Chairman of the Spiritual Craftsman Guild?"

"You’re being naive. The outside world knows nothing of what happens in the Ice Tower. Besides, even if you die at Blood Cyan Robe’s hands, the Spiritual Craftsman Guild would never make trouble for the Blood Demon Palace over someone like you."

"To even think of going to the Ancient Ice Glacier... you’re just courting death!"

"You’re asking to die!"

The powerhouses from the Tang and Cheng Families sneered relentlessly.

Cheng Fu stood proudly, staring at Hong Yu with cold eyes. "The Tang Family, the Cheng Family, and the Blood Demon Palace have powerhouses stationed at every Transmission Channel starting from the Third Layer. The moment you appear, they will spot you and tie you down. When Blood Cyan Robe arrives, you will die without a doubt!"

Tang Tian had already abandoned his Treasure Sword and put some distance between himself and Hong Yu. He said arrogantly, "Hong Yu, your potential is extraordinary and your future is bright. There’s no need to throw your life away for the Xu Family. If you leave right now, I can pretend I never saw you. Otherwise, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"

Hong Yu’s brow furrowed deeply as he listened.

He pursed his lips in annoyance and flicked his hand, sending several Pills flying into the hands of Xu Wen and the others. "Take these Healing Spirit Pills first and recover some of your strength. We can talk after I get rid of these annoying flies!"

"Damn it! You dare call us flies? You’re asking for it!"

"Motherfucker, let’s kill him!"

The members of the Tang and Cheng Families seethed with rage, their Evil Qi soaring as they charged straight for Hong Yu.

Brilliant light filled the sky. The Primordial Gang’s Power emanating from Tang Tian and Cheng Fu, in particular, was infused with Mystical Techniques, making it especially powerful and dazzling, like two bright moons among the stars of the night sky.

Hong Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Two Mystical Techniques? Tsk, tsk, worthy of being powerhouses from the Ice Kingdom!"

Of course, even among Primordial Embryo Realm powerhouses of the same level, there are differences in strength.

Old Sir Tie, for example, broke through after comprehending only one Mystical Technique, making him one of the weakest Primordial Embryo Realm powerhouses.

Figures like Hai Cangtian and Xiahuang Shang, on the other hand, had mastered ten types of True Martial Arts Intent back in the Primordial Core Realm, and thus comprehended as many as ten types of Mysteries of Martial Arts upon breaking through.

This is the vast gap between an ordinary powerhouse and a True Dragon Demon Fiend!

The fact that Tang Tian and Cheng Fu could master two types of Mysteries of Martial Arts was actually quite impressive!

It was just a pity...

...that they had run into Hong Yu!

"You’re the perfect test subjects for my post-breakthrough combat power!" Hong Yu sneered.

Suddenly, his figure flashed, kicking up a cloud of dust. His speed was unimaginable, and everything in his path was annihilated.

"Four Fingers Shattering the Sky!"

He suddenly condensed a finger attack, its golden light eclipsing the sun, as dazzling as a blazing star.

This single finger swept forward with immense power.

It crashed right into the twenty oncoming powerhouses from the two families. They were all charging aggressively, having grown used to crushing their opponents with ease while hunting down the remnants of the Xu Family. This had made them blindly overconfident, believing they could stand against Hong Yu.

But alas, beneath Hong Yu’s sky-shattering finger, a series of earth-shaking booms rang out.

"Ah! My hand..."

"Bastard, how can he be this strong?"

"My leg is broken..."

"Even my Primordial Weapon couldn’t block it! Is he even human?"

Cries of pain rose and fell.

In an instant, the golden finger left a trail of corpses. Even those who survived were grievously wounded.

A single attack had crushed more than twenty powerhouses.

Hong Yu’s might was on full display once again!

"Bastard! Hong Yu, die!" Cheng Fu roared.

His Refined Steel Fist erupted with a monstrous glow, unleashing millions of fist shadows that moved chaotically in a mad frenzy.

His punch contained two types of Mysteries of Martial Arts: one of Tearing, the other of Critical Strikes!

With the two effects stacked, its power was amplified tenfold.

"Cheng Fu, I’ll help you!"

Tang Tian bellowed, drawing his bow. Amidst the WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH of arrows slicing through the air, millions of arrow shadows blotted out the sky, descending upon Hong Yu like a vast, invisible net.

The other powerhouses from the Tang and Cheng Families joined in.

In an instant, the world shook as a multicolored torrent of Primordial Gang’s Power, brimming with terrifying might, was unleashed. The faces of the Xu Family powerhouses paled.

Xu Wen’s eyes filled with despair as he wailed in anguish, "Cangtian, must you extinguish the last hope of my Xu Family?"

"This Hong Yu is too arrogant! Does he really think he’s a powerhouse on the Second Miss’s level?"

"He’s dead for sure this time!"

"Faced with an attack like that, even the Second Miss would have to use every trick she has! Hong Yu, oh, Hong Yu, it doesn’t matter if you die, but for our Xu Family’s last hope to be extinguished because of your arrogance and hubris... you deserve to die!"

The Xu Family powerhouses wailed, lashing out with their words.

Hong Yu was displeased to hear the words of the people behind him. ’For fuck’s sake! Does every single one of you have so little faith in me?’

Just as the attacks were about to land, a red glint flashed in Hong Yu’s eyes. "Fuck it. I’ll start with you lot and shut them up!"

As soon as he spoke, a dim golden light enveloped his body.

BOOM!

A golden storm erupted around Hong Yu, swirling furiously.

Hong Yu stepped forward into the void. As he clapped his hands together, a terrifying light condensed between them, and the very earth trembled beneath his dreadful momentum.

"Electric Flash!"

Hong Yu’s figure suddenly vanished from his spot.

"Huh? Where’d he go?"

"Fuck, he disappeared?"

The triumphant and savage expressions on Tang Tian and Cheng Fu’s faces changed as they looked around frantically.

Suddenly, Tang Tian felt his soul about to flee his body and roared in terror, "Cheng Fu, behind you!"

"Huh?"

Cheng Fu turned around, bewildered.

His body suddenly shuddered. He felt an icy coldness in his chest and looked down to see that a golden Long Spear had pierced through his heart.

As his body grew cold, Cheng Fu stared blankly. "When... when did he get here?" But no one was there to answer him.

A dignified Early-stage Primordial Embryo Realm powerhouse had fallen, caught completely off guard.

With a SQUELCH, Hong Yu pulled back his Godslaying Spear and charged toward Tang Tian.

Tang Tian’s heart pounded violently, the gruesome image of Cheng Fu’s death still vivid in his mind. He retreated dozens of meters, continuously firing Arrows.

However, Hong Yu’s figure vanished again.

Tang Tian was slightly smarter, dodging instinctively, but he was still too late.

SHLICK!

A cold Spear Aura shot past, slitting his throat. His head slowly separated from his body.

Tang Tian stared at the cold-faced youth, his dazed eyes filled with endless venom. "H-Hong Yu... y-you... you dare kill me? My Tang Family won’t let you go..."

But Hong Yu just smiled coldly. He swept his Long Spear, sending out a cascade of golden Spear Aura that shot forth like a waterfall.

His arrogant words exploded in the air...

"The Tang Family? Even if Blood Cyan Robe himself stood in my way, I would feel no fear. With my spear in hand, I’d just charge straight through!"
