You Can Instantly Kill Me?

"Hahahaha!"

A burst of arrogant, triumphant laughter suddenly rang out through the silent hall.

It was Ghost Demon True Person.

He sat on the White Bone Throne with a domineering posture, his cold eyes slanting over to stare at True Lord Flying Fox as he said in a mocking, shrill tone, "Old Ghost Flying Fox, my apologies! This disciple of mine is quite incompetent and doesn't know his own strength; he accidentally killed your apprentice. You wouldn't be angry about that, would you?"

Upon hearing this, True Lord Flying Fox's purple face flushed a deep, liver-colored red.

He called this "accidental"?

This was clearly intentional!

"Hmph! Old Ghost Li, I'll give it to your disciple—he's formidable!"

However, having lived for over a thousand years, True Lord Flying Fox merely let out a cold snort, his expression returning to its usual icy chill.

As he spoke, he prepared to step forward to collect the corpse.

Boom.

At that very instant, a burst of pitch-black ghost fire erupted from the stone floor of the hall, burning Hu Fei's body until nothing remained.

Not even ashes were left behind.

"Old Ghost Li, you!"

Seeing this, True Lord Flying Fox's eyes widened until they nearly split; he stood up, ready to explode.

"Old Ghost Flying Fox, no need to thank me. We are all of the same sect, after all. Helping you collect your disciple's remains was merely a small favor."

Ghost Demon True Person let out a sinister chuckle.

Behind his head, that ring of pitch-black light shone violently.

A terrifying, powerful aura radiated from the halo, shrouding the entire hall.

That small, blood-red fish darted back and forth, its crimson light dazzling, as if it might leap out at any moment, transform into a Kunpeng, and devour the heavens and earth.

A fight was about to break out!

Just then, the white-haired elder wearing a necklace of human skulls spoke up: "Enough. You are all hundreds, if not thousands of years old; what is there to bicker about?"

Once this great power spoke, True Lord Flying Fox had no choice but to swallow his anger, cup his hands, and sit back down.

True Lord Yellow Spring, who sat beside him, had remained calm throughout. He looked Lu Li up and down and said indifferently, "That palm strike just now must have been the White Bone Heart-Destroying Palm. Within its ferocity and sharpness, there was a trace of Buddhist compassion. Furthermore, the palm force reached fifty thousand jin—unmatched in its rigidity and strength. You must have practiced the authentic Vajra Art, at least to the fourth level. Interesting, very interesting."

Suddenly, gazes filled with shock and curiosity swept over.

Lady Red Furnace, in particular, had a strange glint in her water-like eyes.

"You dare to practice the Buddhist Vajra Art within the Demonic Sect? Speak! Are you a spy sent by the Buddhists!"

A thunderous shout suddenly rang out.

The one who spoke was the old man in blood-colored robes sitting below True Lord Flying Fox.

Was he trying to make an issue out of this?

Lu Li raised an eyebrow, scanned the room, then turned and cupped his hands: "For that, I must thank the Scripture Protection Elder."

Hm?

The crowd was stunned, their gazes shifting toward the white-haired elder.

"I was the one who passed the Vajra Art to him. That day, the boy came to the Scripture Depository looking for a technique. I found him agreeable, so I taught it to him," the white-haired elder nodded, offering an explanation.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

How did this kid manage to reach the fourth level of the Vajra Art in such a short time?

Moreover, the physical body he had cultivated was far stronger than what the Vajra Art should produce!

The others were also puzzled.

Could it be that this Lu Li had some connection to the Scripture Protection Elder?

An illegitimate son?

Facing their suspicious gazes, Lu Li remained calm. He cupped his hands toward the group and prepared to return to Ghost Demon True Person's side.

"Hold it!"

At that moment, True Person Blood-Transforming, clad in blood-colored robes, gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, you killed my direct disciple! I demand vengeance!"

Hm?

Lu Li paused for a moment before it clicked.

Li Jing was True Lord Yellow Spring's disciple, and Li Jing's younger brother was this True Person Blood-Transforming's disciple.

It was perfectly logical for this True Person Blood-Transforming to seek revenge.

"Old Ghost Blood-Transforming, you aren't planning on bullying the young with your seniority, are you?"

Ghost Demon True Person narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"Hmph! Of course not! Dandan, come and avenge your senior brother!" True Person Blood-Transforming turned his head and looked at the table to the side.

"Yes!"

A sweet, clear voice followed.

A black-clad woman with hair like dark clouds and a delicate figure rose to her feet, her form flickering as she drifted to the center of the hall.

Her cultivation realm was still at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"Junior Brother Lu, I have been ordered by Master to exchange a few pointers with you. I hope you will show mercy and be gentle with me," the black-clad woman said with a coquettish bow.

As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of light erupted from the storage ring on her finger.

Pieces of black armor manifested all around her.

Then, the light of a formation flickered brilliantly.

In the blink of an eye, the black-clad woman was encased in ink-blue armor that perfectly covered her curvaceous figure, leaving nothing exposed but a pair of slightly bewitching eyes.

Spirit Armor!

Spirit Armor equipped with a formation!

Lu Li swept his gaze over it and discovered that the surface of the armor was incredibly smooth, reflecting a cold, metallic sheen, while thin, snow-white lines traced the joints of the armor.

It looked extraordinary!

It wasn't quite a Spirit Tool, yet it was nearly as good!

"Eh, Demon Spirit Armor?" At this moment, the arrogant giant, Great Devil King Heaven-Shaking, let out a sound of surprise.

Hearing this, Lu Li frowned slightly.

Although he didn't know what the Demon Spirit Armor was, it was clearly a piece of armor with extremely high defensive capabilities.

He turned, cupped his hands, and asked, "May I ask Master, how much palm force can this Demon Spirit Armor withstand?"

"Let me answer that! About one hundred and fifty thousand! Generally, only a Foundation Establishment cultivator can break it! Kid, if you aren't confident, just concede! Your master conceded several times back in the day! There was one time he conceded the moment he stepped onto the stage! Hahahaha!"

Great Devil King Heaven-Shaking laughed wildly.

As soon as he finished, True Lord Yellow Spring, Old Ghost Flying Fox, and True Person Blood-Transforming also began to laugh.

Listening to the grating laughter, True Person Ghost Demon's face turned dark and gloomy.

Being exposed in front of so many people would make anyone angry.

On the other side, Second Senior Sister Meimei and Bai Jinfei also wore solemn expressions.

"One hundred and fifty thousand, is it?"

At this moment, Lu Li pondered for a brief second and smiled, "Very well, I accept this senior sister's challenge."

Hm?

Is he really that brave?

Everyone was stunned.

True Person Ghost Demon was also a bit surprised.

Anyone could see that Lu Li's strength lay in his physical power; if he couldn't break the defense of the Demon Spirit Armor, how could he win?

"Good! I want to see how you break this Demon Spirit Armor! If you manage to break it, I'll eat this table right here on the spot!"

Great Devil King Heaven-Shaking slammed the table and laughed wildly.

Lu Li heard this, smiled, and said nothing. He turned to look at the woman wearing the Demon Spirit Armor and kindly reminded her, "Senior Sister, are you sure you want to fight me?"

"Junior Brother, come."

The sweet, clear voice of the black-clad woman emanated from within the Demon Spirit Armor, brimming with confidence.

Hmph.

With the defense of the Demon Spirit Armor, can you kill me in one hit?

Besides, I heard this kid hasn't been cultivating for long. I'll just drain his mana and drag this out until he's exhausted!

BOOM!

Just then, Lu Li stomped on the ground, charging out like a giant dragon. His massive fist struck out ferociously, like a comet colliding with the sun, aiming straight for the black-clad woman's chest.

The immense power compressed the air, creating a startling sonic boom.

The woman did not move.

With a hum, a green light flashed over the Demon Spirit Armor.

The white lines at the joints of the armor suddenly ejected razor-sharp, snow-white blade auras, each over three feet long, flickering and slashing incessantly.

Any enemy who got close would likely be shredded into meat paste in an instant!

Lu Li, who had just rushed in front of the woman, was instantly engulfed by the sharp blade auras!

To think it had such a mechanism!

The crowd took one look and was shocked!

However, the scene everyone imagined—Lu Li being dismembered with flesh and blood flying everywhere—did not appear.

Only a crisp clang-clang-clang-clang-clang-clang rang out.

Sparks flew in every direction.

Shreds of clothing scattered through the air.

Just then, a thunderous explosion erupted.

Lu Li punched the woman, blasting her into mid-air as she flew backward toward the hall entrance.

"How is this possible!"

Inside the Demon Spirit Armor, the woman in black felt her heart tremble violently.

How could this Lu Li possibly withstand the blade-light of the Demon Spirit Armor?

Fortunately, the formation within the Demon Spirit Armor was profound and capable of absorbing the force of attacks; that punch just now hadn't injured her at all.

But at that very moment, Lu Li took a step that seemed to shatter the mountains and rivers, chasing after her. His large hand, shaped like an eagle's claw, violently seized her ankle.

Then, twisting his waist like a dragon, he swung his massive arm, slamming her down hard toward the center of the hall!

The woman in black felt the world spinning; by the time she reacted, the floor was rapidly enlarging in her pupils.

Bang!

Her face smashed heavily into the floorboards.

Before she could even circulate her magic power, she was hoisted into the air again, swung by Lu Li, and slammed ruthlessly onto the other side.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

Just like that, Lu Li held her ankle, swinging her left and right, slamming her down repeatedly.

In the span of three breaths, he had slammed her eighteen times!

On the final time, there was a loud, thunderous bang!

The woman in black was smashed violently into the floor.

Lu Li seized the momentum to clench his golden-glowing fist, bent his body, and delivered a fierce punch directly into her chest.

The force was so rigid and ferocious that it actually dented the Demon Spirit Armor inward!

Bright red blood bubbled out from the eye sockets and the white seams of the Demon Spirit Armor's joints, pooling into a puddle.

Lu Li slowly stood up, retracted his fist, and casually scattered a stack of yellow paper. He swept his gaze across the room and smiled slightly: "I have plenty of this yellow paper."

"Who else is next?"

"Also, that senior over there, you can start eating the table now."

Great Devil King Heaven-Shaking: "..."

The crowd: "..."

The vast hall fell into a deathly silence, so quiet that the dropping of a needle could be heard.
