Blood Hatred Great Demon

In March of the following year, on the Su Lake Shore.

It's currently the time of year with a sudden cold snap, so frankly, it's not the best time to visit Su Lake.

The literati and scholars of the Great Xia would either choose to visit Su Lake in winter to see the magnificent scenery of snow covering the bridges and the water and sky merging into a silvery white, or in summer, the rainy season, to walk on the misty Su Lake with a paper umbrella, a wonderful experience beyond words.

But those who come here today don't have the luxury of choosing the season at will.

He was very busy, with countless affairs to attend to, so busy that even when he came to the Su Lake Shore, which he had always longed to visit, he could only stop by on his way to the lake.

The day before this person arrived at Su Lake, officials of the Great Xia Imperial Court ordered the clearing of tourists and residents from the Su Lake Shore to ensure his safety. Today, from high-ranking officials to local prefects, everyone respectfully followed this person to the shores of Su Lake.

A large, bright yellow tent surrounded the Su Lake Shore, with elite guards in full armor lined up in a long queue around it.

The officials followed the emperor of the Great Xia onto a dragon boat specially prepared for him on the Su Lake Shore Su Lake, where they sailed on the lake and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

Just then, in a corner of a room below the three-story pavilion of the dragon boat, Gong Wei, the Minister of Rites who was accompanying the dragon boat, was approached by a Man in Black.

"It's time to make a move."

A mad glint shone in the Man in Black's eyes.

"Our brothers have already infiltrated various parts of this ship, and now it's heading towards the center of the lake, becoming an isolated Islands... Hmph, at least you, a member of the Pleasure Faction, are still somewhat useful."

"We are all believers in the God of Blood's Delight, what gives you the right to look down on me?"

Gong Wei, the Minister of Rites, was somewhat displeased.

"Hmph, don't forget, we are the most orthodox believers of the God of Blood Hatred."

As the Man in Black sneered, the spikes on his face broke through his mask, revealing a glimpse of his deep red skin.

"If the God of Pleasure hadn't been devoured by the God of Blood Hatred, you would have been wiped out by us long ago, you incompetent Pleasure Sect!"

"You bunch of incomprehensible lunatics."

Minister of Rites Gong Wei angrily retorted, "If I hadn't created this opportunity for you, how could you have possibly managed to board this Great Xia Dragon Boat?"

"Hehe."

Upon hearing this, the Man in Black revealed a mocking smile.

"Without you, we can simply carry out the assassination by the lake."

"With such a small force, you think you can kill the Great Xia Emperor, who is at the ninth level of the Real Person Realm, by the lake? You're being far too naive."

The Minister of Rites said, "Without me, you would have been wiped out by the Imperial Tiger Guards on the lakeshore. Also, let me remind you, even on this dragon boat, the Emperor's martial arts are extraordinary; you'd better not capsize."

So what?

The Man in Black said arrogantly, "Even if we die, we will still have offered the God of Blood Hatred a supreme feast of slaughter. The god will praise us and lead us into his kingdom! We will live forever and enjoy the endless, exhilarating hunt!"

I don't care about any of you.

Minister of Rites Gong Wei said, "The chances of success for this mission are not high, and I am not optimistic about it. In order to have a backup plan, I will not go with you immediately. You go first, and I will finish off the remaining enemies."

"You want to desert your post?"

The Man in Black said disdainfully, "A wavering stance is tantamount to absolute Loyalty."

"Hmph, my stance is absolutely firm."

The Minister of Rites scoffed, "It's just that my way of showing loyalty is beyond the comprehension of you lunatics... Come with me, gather your men, and I'll create an opportunity for them to get within five steps of the Emperor."

On the platform at the very top of the dragon boat, the emperor of the Great Xia, who was over thirty years old, was sitting with the local governor and his accompanying ministers, drinking tea and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Su Lake.

The governor racked his brains, tirelessly telling the emperor about the beautiful scenery of Su Lake and the related legends, striving to make it as vivid as possible.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"His Majesty."

The guard at the door announced, "Minister of Rites Gong Wei has arrived."

"Let him in."

The Emperor of Great Xia gave the order.

The door opened, Gong Wei, the Minister of Rites, walked in, followed by a maid with her head bowed, carrying a plate with some delicate pastries.

"His Majesty."

The Minister of Rites bowed to the Emperor of Great Xia and said, "The pastries in the kitchen are ready, and I had them brought up to present to you."

The governor of Su Lake prefecture also smiled and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, our Su Lake pastries are a local specialty. We hope you will try them."

"Oh, since you all say so."

The Emperor of Great Xia nodded to the maid.

"Then please bring it here."

The maid dared not raise her head and walked toward the emperor with the pastries in her hands. Just as she stepped within three steps of the emperor, the emperor of Great Xia suddenly frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Sure enough, the next moment, the maid suddenly looked up, threw the plate of pastries at the emperor and the surrounding ministers, and at the same time pulled out a dagger that exuded a strange Blood Qi from her sleeve.

"Die, you dog emperor!"

The maid screamed viciously and frantically stabbed at the emperor of Great Xia with the dagger in her hand.

In a Firestone, the Emperor of Great Xia raised his palm, which emanated dragon-shaped energy. With a Dragon's Roar, his powerful palm struck the maid's chest, the force penetrating her Breastbone and shattering her internal organs into a jumbled mess.

But this woman seemed to feel no pain and showed no fear of death. Even after being instantly killed by the Great Xia Emperor with a single palm strike, her hand did not stop. In the last moment before her death, she plunged the dagger in her hand into the Great Xia Emperor's shoulder.

The cold blade of the dagger was stained with Blood Qi, and a burning pain spread throughout the Great Xia Emperor's body from the wound. This feeling made his blood rush to his head, and his anger surged, causing his True Qi to stagnate for a moment.

"This is... a technique of the Blood's Delight Sect."

Enraged, the Emperor of Great Xia delivered another blow, tearing the maid's body to shreds. He then drew his dagger, panting painfully, "These Cultist are still alive... I..."

"Of course we are not all dead, but the Great Xia Dragon Vein will be severed here today."

A group of Man in Black poured into the room from all directions, surrounding the emperor and his ministers of the Great Xia.

Meanwhile, sounds of battle and screams could be heard from various parts of the dragon boat deck below the room, indicating that most of the guards on the dragon boat were also in grave danger.

"You bunch of good-for-nothings think you can sever the dragon Great Xia Dragon Vein?"

The Emperor of Great Xia gathered his inner True Qi and, relying on his extraordinary cultivation, forcefully suppressed the injuries and poison within his body.

"He's just a True Person who rose to power through the transmission of skills from others; how could he possibly be a match for my Blood Hatred Holy Sect!"

The Man in Black tore his clothes, roared, and transformed into a giant red monster about three or four meters tall, with many sharp horns on its face.

"The Blood Hatred Great Demon?"

The Emperor of Great Xia gritted his teeth and roared, "Do you really think I've never killed anyone before?"

"Then try killing me!"

The Man in Black, now transformed into Great Demon, roared and lunged at the emperor.

The two quickly engaged in battle, and among the accompanying officials were some who possessed considerable martial arts skills. At this moment, they immediately set aside their pride, rolled up their sleeves, and fought against these Cultist driven by Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon.
