Immortal Martial Emperor

"Kill him!"

"I’ve had it with this brat! He dies today!"

"He should be drawn and quartered! Only that can quell the hatred in my heart!"

Over a hundred powerhouses roared and charged forward to crush him. Their momentum was like a rainbow, surging like a stampede of ten thousand beasts—a truly terrifying sight.

Hong Yu was just about to kill Zhao Wushuang.

Suddenly, dozens of attacks flew at him, forcing him to switch from offense to defense.

He spun the Godslaying Spear in his hand, creating a Vajra Giant Shield formed from a curtain of golden light that radiated a faint, golden glow to block the attacks.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Streams of multicolored Primordial Gang’s Power surged forward.

The phantoms of sabers, spears, and swords crashed down like a tidal wave.

The successive bombardments struck the Vajra Giant Shield, sending out ripples of energy like waves on water. After thirty or forty hits, the sound of cracking filled the air as the Vajra Giant Shield shattered with a loud bang.

Golden light scattered in all directions.

The remaining attacks completely enveloped Hong Yu.

"Get lost!"

A cold glint flashed in Hong Yu’s eyes.

He swept his dragon tail, wrapping it around Zhao Wushuang’s ankle, then violently flung him up high to block the incoming attacks.

"No—"

Zhao Wushuang let out a bloodcurdling scream.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A torrent of energy, filled with the rumble of thunder, instantly engulfed Zhao Wushuang.

The thick, pungent smell of blood filled the air.

When the energy fluctuations dissipated, everyone finally saw Zhao Wushuang’s condition.

He was barely recognizable as human, his entire body trembling and covered in flowing blood.

SWOOSH!

Hong Yu flicked his dragon tail, sending Zhao Wushuang flying.

A powerhouse from the Sword God Kingdom rushed forward with an Arrow Step, caught Zhao Wushuang, and stuffed a Pill into his mouth. Seeing his condition stabilize, the powerhouse breathed a sigh of relief before glaring at Hong Yu. "You damn bastard! How dare you injure Zhao Wushuang so badly! I’ll make sure you don’t even have a grave to be buried in!"

The powerhouse pulled a Command Arrow from his robes.

The Command Arrow erupted with terrifying brilliance.

The powerhouse said coldly, "This is a Command Arrow given to me by His Majesty the King, and it represents his full authority. Fellow powerhouses, whoever can kill Hong Yu and avenge our Young Master Wushuang, His Majesty will owe you a favor. In the future, he will go through fire and water to repay it!"

Upon hearing this, a glint appeared in everyone’s eyes.

Although the Sword God Kingdom was not one of the Four Great Dukedoms, its power was still immense.

The King of the Sword God Kingdom, in particular, possessed strength on par with the rulers of the Dukedoms. A favor from him was undoubtedly a massive reward.

At this thought, many were already tempted.

’The King of the Sword God Kingdom is incredibly powerful. If I can get him to act on my behalf, I can definitely reclaim my throne.’

’A favor from the great King of the Sword God Kingdom is definitely worth it!’

’This is a good deal!’

As their gazes flickered, their expressions toward Hong Yu turned cold and greedy, as if they could see all sorts of benefits waving at them.

Hong Yu took a deep breath. "Men die for wealth as birds die for food. Since you’re asking for death, don’t blame me for what comes next!"

"Heh heh, the greedy are doomed to die!"

"The three of us brothers are finally fighting together!"

Feng Xue Xin and Young Master Yeban came forward, flanking Hong Yu on his left and right. The three brothers stood united against the hundred-plus powerhouses.

A great battle was about to erupt!

Xiahuang Ba waved his hand fiercely. "Kill them!"

No one held back. From the very beginning, they unleashed their Mystical Illusions. Powerful, dense energy swirled and moved wildly, like a pack of utterly terrifying beasts.

"Same as always! I’ll take the right!"

"I’ve got the left!"

Feng Xue Xin and Young Master Yeban were the first to charge out.

The two of them were quite powerful in their own right, and they were confident in their ability to handle these powerhouses.

Though touched by their actions, Hong Yu’s face remained impassive. With a cold sneer, he charged toward the group of powerhouses in the center.

The leaders of this central group were Xiahuang Ba and Zhang Weilong.

Xiahuang Ba radiated a surging killing intent so potent it was almost tangible.

His arms were like two Flood Dragons, sweeping forward. His muscles bulged with a terrifying glow of energy, a heart-stopping sight as they swung through the air.

SWOOSH!

The Divine Demon Wings vibrated, tearing through the air as Hong Yu shot past.

The fist missed its target, crossed through empty space, and landed where Hong Yu had been standing moments before.

BOOM!

The entire mountain peak rumbled and shook.

Mountains crumbled, the earth split, the seas dried, and rocks shrieked.

Vast stretches of green vegetation were completely annihilated, turning into dust that filled the sky, creating a solemn and desolate scene.

"Celestial Demon Slash Fist!"

Xiahuang Ba charged forward.

His figure broke through the air. As an Overlord Body Walker, he didn’t specialize in speed, but his Body Technique made up for it.

Just like his name, his Body Technique was just as domineering.

The muscles all over his body rippled, constantly altering their frequency of relaxation and contraction in a bizarre and profound manner, manipulating the airflow and pushing it aside.

Xiahuang Ba’s speed was incredible.

In the blink of an eye, wreathed in burning flames and crackling thunder, he was in front of Hong Yu.

His arms were like forged Refined Iron.

They were incomparably hard, and the wind from his fists billowed and whistled as they arrived.

DONG!

The punch struck like a great heavy hammer against an ancient bell, releasing a deep and resonant sound.

Hong Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly. He let out a low shout, "Piercing Void—Unstoppable Edge!"

Golden light enveloped the Godslaying Spear.

Terrifying energy fluctuations spread out. The fierce energy shrieked and roared as the immense power formed a long dragon.

The dragon’s head glowed with a golden radiance.

This radiance was sharper than the keenest longsword.

BANG!

The spear’s aura surged forward as if piercing through the sky itself.

BOOM!

The collision of the Fist Gang and the Spear Aura was like a needle point against a wheat awn.

It continuously erupted with terrifying waves of energy, vast and mighty, carrying a ferocious impact that one dared not look at directly.

"Hahaha, Hong Yu, you are indeed impressive to be able to block my Celestial Demon Slash Fist. But unfortunately..."

Xiahuang Ba sneered, his voice booming like a great bell. "So what if you’re strong? In the end, won’t you just die by my hands anyway?"

"It’s not yet certain who will emerge the victor!"

Hong Yu retorted with a sneer.

The corner of Xiahuang Ba’s lips curved up into a mocking arc. "Are you sure about that?"

"Hm?"

Hong Yu froze.

Xiahuang Ba suddenly roared, "I’ve got him tied down! What are you all waiting for? Attack!"

"Kill him!"

"Hahaha, our chance has come!"

"Hong Yu’s head is mine!"

The powerhouses, who had been waiting for an opening, all erupted with powerful killing intent.

Although they had no personal grudge against Hong Yu...

But...

They knew very well that killing Hong Yu meant earning a favor from the King of the Sword God Kingdom, which would be an immense benefit.

Money makes the world go ’round!

In the hearts of most people, what did justice and morality matter in the face of enough money, wealth, and benefits?

Faced with the siege of a crowd of powerhouses seething with killing intent, Hong Yu tried to withdraw his attack, but he found that Xiahuang Ba was holding him in a tight bind, giving him no opportunity to break free.

At this thought, a grim and ruthless look filled Hong Yu’s eyes. "You forced my hand!"

A flash of black light suddenly appeared.

Xingtian appeared, shrouded in black Demonic Qi.

Xingtian abruptly raised its head. Sensing that Hong Yu was in danger, its eyes filled with a blood-red killing intent.

Hong Yu coughed up a mouthful of blood and said, "Xingtian, keep this guy busy! Don’t let him interfere with me!"

"Yes, Big Brother!"

Xingtian nodded sharply.

Its body was so powerful that it could withstand a direct hit from a Sixth-Grade Primordial Weapon without a scratch.

Xingtian let out a low roar and charged at Xiahuang Ba.

Its fists, like Flood Dragons soaring through the sky, smashed toward Xiahuang Ba’s face.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Xiahuang Ba was stunned.

He had just watched Xingtian emerge from Hong Yu’s body, a sight that completely overturned his understanding of the world.

’Since when can a person hide inside another person’s body?’

But in the next moment, he realized he had no time to ponder it.

Xingtian’s punch was incredibly forceful.

It was also cunning and terrifying.

Xiahuang Ba instinctively tried to retreat, but he found that while Hong Yu was using his Divine Demon Wings to evade the siege of the other powerhouses, he was also using an extremely viscous Primordial Gang’s Power to bind him, making it impossible to pull away.

It was just like Hong Yu’s situation moments ago.

"Damn it, let go!"

Xiahuang Ba roared repeatedly.

If he got his face smashed by Xingtian in front of everyone, how could he ever face his people in Jiangdong again?

Unfortunately for him, reality was always cruel.

BAM!

Xingtian’s fist landed squarely in Xiahuang Ba’s left eye socket.

The area around his eye immediately turned black and blue.

"Bastard! You bastard...!"

When had Xiahuang Ba ever been so humiliated?

He was the great First Unparalleled True Dragon, the number one Overlord Body Walker of the younger generation in the Xiahuang Ancient Kingdom, and showered with countless honors.

In the entire, vast Xiahuang Ancient Kingdom, aside from a select few, who didn’t treat him with the utmost respect?

And now, Xingtian had given him a black eye with a single punch. This was a blatant provocation!

Xiahuang Ba couldn’t swallow this insult. "You damn thing! I’m going to tear you to pieces!"

Xingtian’s gaze was cold and severe.

As far as it was concerned, for Xiahuang Ba to dare harm Hong Yu was to court death.

And it would retaliate without reason or mercy.

"Hurt Big Brother... Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Xingtian roared.

At the Third-Tribulation Execution Corpse Realm, its combat strength was now comparable to the Peak of the Primordial Embryo Realm, and its physical defense even surpassed that of a Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouse.

RUMBLE!

Xiahuang Ba was an Overlord Body Walker, possessing supreme strength and an unparalleled Overlord Body.

Xingtian was created through an ancient Sacrificial Refining Technique for Execution Corpses.

Its physical defense was astonishing, unmatched by any at the same level.

And so...

These two brawlers, who relied completely on their physical bodies, fought with wide, sweeping movements, locked in an intense and inextricable battle.

’What’s going on? How can this thing’s body be so tough?’

Xiahuang Ba sent Xingtian flying with ten consecutive punches, yet it remained completely unharmed. This filled him with alarm.

With another cold shout, Xingtian charged again.

Xiahuang Ba’s expression darkened. He glanced to the side and saw Hong Yu gradually turning the tables on the powerhouses besieging him and gaining the upper hand. This solidified his resolve to kill Xingtian. ’If this thing doesn’t die, we’ll have no way to deal with Hong Yu.’

At this thought, Xiahuang Ba gritted his teeth.

A black Spirit Talisman appeared in his hand.

It was a life-saving Supreme Treasure he had obtained from an Ancient Secret Realm. Once used, not even a powerhouse at the Peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm could withstand it.

He had treasured it for many years.

Now, he was using it against Xingtian. "I don’t care what the hell you are! Today, you will die without a doubt!"

A powerful wave of energy swept out.

VMMMM!

The Spirit Talisman’s terrifying energy instantly enveloped Xingtian.

Just as it was about to erupt with terrifying power and annihilate Xingtian, in that critical moment, Xingtian’s eyes shot wide open from beneath the Spirit Talisman’s shroud.

Its eyes flickered with a blood-red light, and dense black clouds began to swirl above its head.

It was a sign that a thunder tribulation was imminent.

Hong Yu had just slain a Primordial Embryo Realm powerhouse when he suddenly felt an oppressive force. He followed the feeling with his gaze, and his eyes instantly lit up with a fiery brilliance...

’Xingtian is about to undergo its tribulation? A Fourth-Tribulation Execution Corpse? Doesn’t that mean it will be able to summon Execution Corpse War Generals?’
