Assassin True God, Illusion Realm, Shattered by a Palm! Star Lord!

The terrifying pressure surged, turning the entire Lone Moon Pavilion into ruins in an instant!

A force of blood and vitality so powerful it defied imagination even formed a phenomenon above the giant city, crushing everyone until they could barely breathe!

"Such pressure... a True God has descended!?"

"Who was it? Who actually provoked a True God's fury? Are they trying to make us bury ourselves with them?!"

"That direction... Lone Moon Pavilion! As expected of the most terrifying assassin organization. The strongest one at this branch is only at the mid-Nirvana stage, right? They actually dared to provoke a True God directly. Impressive... my ass!! I don't want to die such a stifled death!"

For a time, everyone with relatively powerful cultivation turned their eyes toward Lone Moon Pavilion.

At the very center of the pressure, Li Rizhu was crushed flat against the ground. His body had been compressed beyond its limits, every inch of his skin splitting open as blood poured out!

He looked utterly miserable!

Yet even in this state, he still refused to relent.

Instead, he earnestly tried to persuade him. "Senior! You mustn't do this!!"

"Those chosen geniuses truly cannot be touched! Perhaps you were in seclusion and do not know what happened not long ago. Merely touching one person led not only to an entire clan's destruction, but even a Supreme being fell with them!"

"Now, unless it is a battle between peers, if Senior truly insists on using your status to bully the young, it will bring another storm of blood and slaughter!"

"My Lone Moon Pavilion may be strong, but opposing the entire Great Wilderness is something we still cannot do!"

Lu Qingyun raised a brow, and the pressure eased slightly.

With a lift of his hand, a giant palm of blood and vitality hauled Li Rizhu from the ground and clenched tightly around him.

"I am not using my status to bully the young. This is merely a dispute between peers."

"Within the rules, Lone Moon Pavilion will certainly not be implicated."

Hearing Lu Qingyun's words, Li Rizhu barely forced open his eyes, clouded with blood, and glanced at the soaring phenomenon in the skies.

Then he looked at Lu Qingyun's exceptionally youthful appearance.

After that, he silently closed his eyes and waited for death.

A genuine True God expert was relying on a young face to claim that he was actually one of the younger generation.

That he was only a little over ten years old?

Who was he kidding!?

He had indeed been beaten to the point of muddled senses, but he could not be fooled like an idiot!

Seeing Li Rizhu's resigned expression, Lu Qingyun did not need to think to know that he did not believe him.

Just as he was considering how to prove it, an almost imperceptible ripple arrived. Within the void, a blood-red little sword barely more than an inch long turned into a streak of red light and stabbed toward Lu Qingyun with unstoppable speed!

Clang!!

Lu Qingyun raised a hand, and the power of his blood and vitality erupted.

He actually blocked this killing strike directly with his palm!

"Finally, they're here!"

The moment Li Rizhu saw the blood-red little sword, his eyes filled with joy.

But when he clearly saw Lu Qingyun block that strike with his physical body alone, without using any protective divine ability—

That flicker of joy vanished at once, replaced by terror so profound it reached the extreme!

Because he knew that his old friend, who had launched this assassination attempt, was a powerful veteran True God!

Moreover, as a True God who had fought and killed his way up, he was unquestionably among the strongest of his rank in battles between equals!

Yet such a True God's sure-kill strike, launched through an ambush, had been effortlessly blocked by this old monster pretending to be young with nothing but his physical body!?

"Get out here!!"

Lu Qingyun opened his Heavenly Eye. That cold vertical pupil seemed capable of seeing through endless illusions, wielding boundless might.

In an instant, it found the attacker hiding within a crack between spaces.

He struck out with his palm, shattering layer after layer of space!

An almost endless torrent of blood and vitality blasted a figure out. Before Lu Qingyun could make his next move—

That figure erupted with extreme speed and fled at once!

He did not dare face him head-on at all!

"How did Old Li provoke such an existence?!"

If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching the author instead. It may simply have been renamed!

"That killing strike of mine has assassinated several True Gods at the peak! Yet before him, it could not even break through the most basic physical defense! He is absolutely an expert beyond the True God realm!"

Zhang Muhua did not dare pause for even a moment. He directly used a forbidden method, willing to expend essence blood and cultivation just to escape this place!

Everything went beyond Zhang Muhua's expectations—his escape was strangely smooth.

The person behind him seemed to have no intention of pursuing him at all, allowing him to leave.

Only... why did the surroundings feel... not quite normal?

The scent of flowers, the wind blowing, the blazing sun—everything seemed so normal.

But... he was a True God powerhouse. Even while fleeing at top speed, he could smell the hammer!!

Killing intent condensed, and the Illusion Realm shattered!

Everything around him vanished, and what appeared before him was a familiar enormous hand.

It was precisely this hand that had blasted him out from the cracks between spaces.

And this time, it struck directly against his completely unprotected body!

Bang!!

The True God's body exploded, blood raining down!

"The illusion technique still needs work. It could only trap a True God for a moment."

"Though... at this level, life-and-death battles are decided by no more than an instant."

Lu Qingyun's vertical pupils closed.

He withdrew his hand, his calm gaze returning to Li Rizhu.

"Logically speaking, Lone Moon Pavilion has already broken the rules by attacking me."

"However, I am magnanimous and won't pursue the matter. Still, you'd better give me the information I want soon. How about it?"

Blood mist drifted onto Li Rizhu's body. The pungent stench of blood made him feel as though he were trapped in a dream.

That close friend of his had actually... died just like that!

Lowering his head, Li Rizhu remained silent for a long while before saying hoarsely, "Fine."

He agreed.

He had also figured it out.

This was clearly not something he could handle, so why should he stubbornly bear it himself?

He only wanted intelligence, didn't he? Just report it upward, let the higher-ups review it and learn of it, then send someone to deal with it!

At worst, when those above held them accountable, they could all die together.

At this moment, Li Rizhu's gaze was incomparably calm—even calmer than when he had once slaughtered an entire city.

Disregarding others' deaths was far easier than disregarding one's own.

Under such circumstances, he vaguely sensed that his state of mind had actually made a breakthrough.

If he secluded himself in cultivation for several years, there was a high chance he could break through his current bottleneck.

But none of that mattered now. Before long, even his life would be gone. What meaning would a breakthrough in cultivation hold?

Lu Qingyun paid no attention to Li Rizhu's thoughts. Upon hearing his agreement, he turned and left at once.

As an assassin organization spanning the entire Great Wilderness, Lone Moon Pavilion's efficiency was anything but slow.

The next day, when Lu Qingyun arrived once more, the person managing Lone Moon Pavilion was no longer Li Rizhu, but a new face.

From the moment Lu Qingyun entered, Yang Xingzhu's gaze had remained fixed upon him.

As a Star Lord-level figure in Lone Moon Pavilion, second only to its strongest group of people, Yang Xingzhu had immediately begun an investigation after receiving the news.

The final results made Yang Xingzhu doubt the entire intelligence department.

After all, how many poisonous mushrooms would one have to eat to reach the heaven-defying conclusion that there was a ten-year-old True God?!

Even the Lu Family had no reason to produce such a person!

Yet after verification from multiple sources, Yang Xingzhu had no choice but to believe this fact.

Moreover, Lu Qingyun's conduct was broadly consistent with the investigation.

Overbearing, heavy with killing intent, acting as he pleased!
