Immortal Martial Emperor

"You beast! Stop!"

Hong Yu violently pushed off the ground, his legs unleashing a force well over a million pounds.

With a BOOM, the mound of earth beneath him crumbled as his body shot toward Senior Brother Qi like a cannonball.

This man was utterly depraved, refusing to even spare a three-month-old infant.

This had completely crossed Hong Yu’s final line.

"Hm?"

Senior Brother Qi paused, his sword-like eyebrows knitting together as he looked in Hong Yu’s direction.

Upon seeing him, a cold sneer formed on his lips. "A mere Mid-stage Primordial Core Realm cultivator dares meddle in my affairs?" He glanced at the other Blood Robe Powerhouses and sneered, "Cripple him for me!"

"Yes, sir!"

Instantly, more than twenty Blood Robe Powerhouses rose into the air.

The Ice Kingdom was even more powerful than the entire Southern Ten Nations combined. A single Kingdom possessed eight True Dragon slots.

One could only imagine the terrifying number of powerhouses in the Ice Kingdom!

Among these thirty-plus Blood Robe Powerhouses, the weakest were at the Late Stage Celestial Soul Realm, while the strongest was a Late-stage Primordial Core Realm Powerhouse.

A sinister, blood-colored aura surged from all thirty-plus men.

The vast, wicked energy rolled toward him like a river’s churning waves, arriving before Hong Yu in an instant.

"Heh heh heh, you dare meddle in the affairs of our Blood Demon Palace? Boy, you’re simply courting death!"

The Late-stage Primordial Core Realm Powerhouse among them wore a grim smile as he commanded the thirty-six Celestial Soul Realm experts. "Form the Heavenly Gang Blood Demon Array! We absolutely cannot let this kid interrupt Senior Brother Qi’s Demon Skill cultivation!"

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother Shi!"

"Heh heh heh, a mere Mid-stage Primordial Core Realm cultivator... there’s no need for Senior Brother Shi or Senior Brother Qi to act. Our Heavenly Gang Blood Demon Array is more than enough to kill him!"

The crowd of Blood Robe Powerhouses laughed wantonly.

They had followed Senior Brother Qi for many years and were a Guard Team specifically assigned to him by the Blood Demon Palace to aid his cultivation.

Over the years, because Senior Brother Qi’s cultivation of the Blood Demon Scripture required a massive amount of human Essence Blood, these men had hunted and killed no small number of the Human Race.

They had even gone as far as massacring entire cities.

To this group of deranged beings accustomed to slaughter, the fact that Hong Yu would dare to suddenly appear and disrupt Senior Brother Qi’s cultivation was an all-too-familiar sight.

Such things had long since become commonplace.

In the past, many righteous heroes, unable to stomach the sight of Senior Brother Qi cultivating the Blood Demon Scripture by devouring Essence Blood, had stepped forward to intervene. But in the end, they all became nothing more than pools of Essence Blood in the Soul-Refining Blood Pool.

"Heavenly Gang Blood Demon Array, form!"

The thirty-six Blood Robe Powerhouses formed the Heavenly Gang Array.

Slowly, threads of energy began to connect them, complementing one another as faint layers of blood-red light swirled around them.

The bloody light shot into the sky.

All thirty-six men were shrouded in the bloody light, which condensed to form a blood-colored, illusory figure.

This blood-colored phantom had a truly fearsome appearance.

Its savage features were twisted, and high, sharp tusks pierced through the corners of its lips.

It was a ten-meter-tall, illusory Blood Demon statue.

"ROAR!"

The Blood Demon phantom let out a piercing shriek.

Then it stomped its legs and charged at Hong Yu, trailing a bloody-red radiance.

Facing the aggressive Heavenly Gang Blood Demon Array, Hong Yu’s brows furrowed slightly. ’What a malevolent Blood Demon phantom... This Heavenly Gang Blood Demon Array is likely a powerful Third-level Array.’

A Third-level Array!

A Third-level Array, as the name implied, was an Array of the third tier. The combat power of the Blood Demon phantom it formed would be no weaker than a Late-stage Primordial Core Realm Powerhouse.

The corners of Hong Yu’s lips curved upward. "However, if you think a mere Third-level Array is enough to deal with me, you’ve seriously miscalculated!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Yu shot forward.

A golden radiance enveloped him, making him resemble a Golden Armored War God. A vast, righteous aura pulsed vigorously around his body.

Arcs of golden electricity floated and coiled around him, like tiny golden snakes of lightning slithering about his body.

"BOOM!"

Hong Yu threw a punch.

Seeing Hong Yu attack with a fist of flesh and blood, the Blood Robe Powerhouses all showed looks of astonishment, which quickly turned to hysterical ridicule.

"Hahaha..."

"This is killing me! Is this kid trying to get himself killed?"

"Fighting the Heavenly Gang Blood Demon Array with his physical body? Doesn’t he know the Array has the power to corrode flesh?"

"He’s truly digging his own grave!"

Even the distant Senior Brother Qi stopped devouring the infant in his hand. He watched Hong Yu charge the Blood Demon phantom with a single fist, a trace of deep disdain and mockery in his eyes. "You reckless fool!"

The thirty-six Blood Robe Powerhouses within the Heavenly Gang Blood Demon Array laughed even more hysterically.

In their eyes, Hong Yu would be powerless to resist their attack. His death was certain.

Unfortunately for them, they were destined to be wrong this time!

After the golden fist struck the Blood Demon phantom, the imagined scene of Hong Yu being corroded and melted away did not occur.

On the contrary, Hong Yu’s fist, pulsing with golden light, was unstoppable. Like a Flood Dragon entering the sea, amidst the ROARING of thunder, his punch forcibly knocked the Blood Demon phantom back more than thirty meters.

"One Finger Shakes the Heavens and Earth!"

Hong Yu’s cold gaze swept over them as he let out a sharp cry.

His finger, condensed with smooth, golden light, shot through the air. With a BOOM, it pierced the Blood Demon phantom and passed right through it, striking the Blood Robe Powerhouses hidden within the Heavenly Gang Blood Demon Array.

The single finger swept out, unstoppable and overwhelming everything in its path.

Wherever it passed, the powerhouses exploded and were thrown back. They didn’t even have the chance to resist before being instantly killed by Hong Yu’s finger!

This wasn’t hard to imagine.

With Hong Yu’s current strength, he could sweep away anyone in the Primordial Core Realm, let alone a group of Celestial Soul Realm experts.

Therefore, under the might of Hong Yu’s finger, the Heavenly Gang Blood Demon Array was utterly destroyed.

All thirty-six people within the Array were killed by Hong Yu’s single attack.

*GASP!*

Senior Brother Shi sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.

He had been standing in the void with his arms crossed, watching Hong Yu and waiting for him to be annihilated by the Heavenly Gang Blood Demon Array.

He had actually envisioned the entire process, from the moment the Heavenly Gang Blood Demon Array formed to the moment Hong Yu shattered the Blood Demon Array.

However, he had only guessed the beginning, not the end.

Senior Brother Shi looked at Hong Yu with a grave expression.

At this moment, he no longer had the slightest thought of underestimating Hong Yu.

’After all, even I would only be evenly matched against the Heavenly Gang Blood Demon Array. Since Hong Yu shattered it in one blow, doesn’t that mean if I fell into his hands, I’d be killed with a single punch too?’

While Senior Brother Shi hesitated, Hong Yu had already arrived in front of him.

"You..."

Senior Brother Shi’s expression changed drastically. As he shot backward, he roared, "What are you doing, boy? I am the thirteenth disciple of the Blood Demon Palace! If you dare to kill me, you’ll be making an enemy of the Blood Demon Palace!"

"The Blood Demon Palace?"

Hong Yu raised his eyebrows.

Back in the Celestial Water Kingdom, he had purchased basic information about the Ice Kingdom from the Underground Alliance.

That information included descriptions of the major powers in the Ice Kingdom.

The Blood Demon Palace was a Sect heavily emphasized in that intelligence report.

In the Ice Kingdom, there was a saying about the "Four Courtyards and One Palace"!

The Four Courtyards were the Royal Court, the Xu Family Courtyard, the Cheng Family Courtyard, and the Tang Family Courtyard.

As for the One Palace, that was the Blood Demon Palace.

The fact that the Blood Demon Palace could be ranked alongside the Imperial Family showed just how formidable its foundation and strength were.

’I’ve only just arrived. It’s not a good idea to provoke such a powerful enemy.’

Seeing Hong Yu hesitate, Senior Brother Shi breathed a sigh of relief and sneered, "Scared now, are you? Hmph, let me tell you, it’s too late. You killed the Heavenly Gang Guard Team that the Grand Elder entrusted to Senior Brother Qi. Your death is already a certainty."

He paused, a look on his face that said he had Hong Yu right where he wanted him. "Of course," Senior Brother Shi said coldly, "if you hand over all the Treasures on you and teach me that strange Divine Technique that covers your body in golden light, I’ll plead with Senior Brother Qi to spare you. Otherwise, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"

Senior Brother Shi roared, his voice harsh but his heart trembling.

But Hong Yu suddenly revealed a cold smile. "The Blood Demon Palace? Sorry, never heard of it!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Hong Yu activated Tyrant’s Walk and charged forward.

"You bastard! You know I’m from the Blood Demon Palace, yet you still dare to attack me?" Senior Brother Shi’s face contorted as he roared again and again.

Hong Yu paid him no mind and dove forward.

As he charged, he threw a punch.

"BOOM!"

This punch contained the power of the Vibrating Rune Technique and the Wind Vortex.

As it flew, it carried an extremely strong rotational force that constricted Senior Brother Shi’s retreating figure, slowing his evasion by a beat.

And in that very instant, Hong Yu’s fist landed squarely on his body.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

Three dull thuds suddenly rang out.

With each impact, a fist print appeared on Senior Brother Shi’s back as his chest continuously caved in.

"Get lost!"

With a sharp yell, Hong Yu’s right arm thrust forward violently.

As it shot forward, Senior Brother Shi looked as if he had been struck by lightning. He let out a wretched scream and was sent flying into the distance, spraying a thick mouthful of blood.

"SPLASH!"

Senior Brother Shi’s body fell into the Blood Pool.

The blood within the pool began to boil, bubbling violently. In the blink of an eye, most of Senior Brother Shi’s body had been corroded away.

Such a terrifying Soul-Refining Blood Pool was enough to leave one speechless with shock.

"CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!"

A series of crisp claps came from behind him.

Along with the light sound came a chilling, sharp voice that was enough to make one’s scalp tingle. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. To think I’d actually meet an opponent like you in the Ice Kingdom. Hmm, if I’m not mistaken, you’re not from the Ice Kingdom, are you?"

"Hm?"

Hong Yu froze.

He turned to the side and saw Senior Brother Qi slowly walking over.

In one hand, he held the swaddled child upside down. By now, the child had already lost all signs of life. There were two fang marks on its neck.

"You killed him?"

A murderous light filled Hong Yu’s eyes.

Senior Brother Qi dangled the infant’s corpse, then casually tossed it into the Soul-Refining Blood Pool.

A playful yet frigid curve appeared on his lips. "I did kill him. What are you going to do about it?"

Looking at the utterly shameless Senior Brother Qi and the infant’s corpse already being corroded by the blood, Hong Yu felt a suffocating tightness in his chest and roared...

"I’m going to kill you!"
