At that moment, Lu Ren felt a chill run through his entire body as the martial artists stared at him, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Tang Hao's words had completely ignited the killing intent of many people towards Lu Ren.
The vast majority of the martial artists present were old men in their forties and fifties, with little to no potential and no chance of joining the Four Great Sects.
If they could join the Ghost Sword Gate and be guided by the Ghost Sword King to cultivate the Ghostly Sword Style, they would be able to walk sideways in Jiangyun Kingdom.
At this moment, many aged martial artists felt an intense burning desire in their hearts.
Although Lu Ren's strength was extraordinary, it would be easy for so many of them to surround and kill him.
Seeing that everyone was still hesitant and undecided, Tang Hao spoke again, "My senior brother, Gu Yifan, is the top core disciple of the Imperial Dao Sect. Whoever among you can kill Lu Ren, he will even make an exception and allow you to become outer disciples of the Imperial Dao Sect!"
Tang Hao once again offered a condition.
All the martial artists present went mad again. They had almost sacrificed their futures for the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe.
Now, they could not only join the Ghost Sword Gate but also become outer disciples of the Imperial Dao Sect.
They naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.
As for many of the younger martial artists, their eyes were filled with pity as they looked at Lu Ren.
With so many martial artists in the Aperture Opening Realm, and all of them old men who had cultivated diligently for decades, even mastering Human Tier Low-grade Martial Skills to perfection, this lineup meant Lu Ren was definitely doomed.
Lu Ren's expression also turned cold. Tang Hao, having been defeated by him, was now instigating everyone to kill him.
For a moment, he had become public enemy number one.
"Hahaha, Lu Ren, you defeated me, but you're still going to die!"
Tang Hao let out a frantic roar, his eyes filled with ferocity.
Lu Ren chuckled lightly, his gaze sharp as he swept across the surroundings. "Those who want to kill me, come at me together. I'm ready anytime. If you die by my hand, don't blame me for not holding back!"
Lu Ren's words were incredibly arrogant, directly provoking everyone.
In this world where strength reigned supreme, weakness would only make enemies more relentless. Only by displaying strength could one instill fear in their enemies.
Moreover, even if he retreated, these people wouldn't let him go.
"Arrogant!"
Hearing Lu Ren's words, a one-armed man with gray hair rushed forward, his long sword flashing like an iron painting and a silver hook as he attacked Lu Ren.
Lu Ren once again merged the spiritual energy from his six Spiritual Apertures, forming a massive vortex, and his aura surged to its peak.
His body coiled like a bow, his palm like an arrow, and he shot out directly. Before anyone could react, his Seven Injuries Palm struck the gray-haired man fiercely.
Puff!
Before the gray-haired man could even swing his sword, he collapsed onto the ground.
Then!
Pa pa pa pa pa pa!
Seven consecutive sounds erupted within his body, and then his body was a bloody mess.
"He actually killed the one-armed swordsman who had opened nine Spiritual Apertures in one move?"
"That's the Seven Injuries Palm, a Human Tier Low-grade Martial Skill. Its power is mediocre, but if cultivated to perfection, one palm strike can unleash seven extremely powerful bursts of energy!"
"Stop the nonsense and attack him together!"
Many martial artists were enraged.
The most agitated was naturally Xu Fu, who charged at Lu Ren again, his great saber slashing towards Lu Ren: "Overlord Saber Slash Fourth Slash, Thirteen Layers of Overlord Saber!"
Waves of saber light swept out like a tidal wave, continuous and overwhelming, engulfing Lu Ren.
"Hmph!"
Lu Ren snorted coldly, the power of the fused vortex within his body erupting to its limit. He unleashed the Spirit Cat Steps, instantly dodging the heavy saber light.
Seven Injuries Palm!
Lu Ren struck Xu Fu again, suppressing him with absolute power.
Although Lu Ren's palm strike appeared to be a single blow, it was actually seven palm strikes, but it gave the impression of seven afterimages.
Seeing this, Xu Fu also threw a punch. His fist glowed golden; it was the Low-grade Yellow Tier Mighty Diamond Fist!
Boom!
The Mighty Diamond Fist collided with the Seven Injuries Palm, and a powerful shockwave swept out. Several low-cultivation martial artists nearby were forced to retreat, unable to withstand the impact of the two.
Puff!
Xu Fu spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
"Kill Lu Ren!"
Seeing this, several of Xu Fu's companions simultaneously unleashed various martial skills and charged at Lu Ren, unleashing a fierce barrage.
Of course, other martial artists also joined in the attack, striking Lu Ren amidst the chaos.
"Mountain Suppressing Fist!"
"Sword Finger!"
"Eight Trigram Palm!"
"Fierce Tiger Fist!"
"Seven Injuries Palm!"
Lu Ren stood his ground, completely unfazed, unleashing all his perfected martial skills.
The various attacks from all around that were aimed at Lu Ren were all neutralized by his martial skills.
Of course, Lu Ren could handle the situation with ease. He had already fused six qi cyclones, reaching a strength of twelve thousand jin. Combined with the physical strength of his body, he could break any technique with sheer force. With the advantage of absolute power, even using a Human Tier Low-grade Martial Skill, Lu Ren could deal with any attack.
He hadn't used the Celestial Phenomenon Sword Skill. He wanted to use this real combat to refine his application of various martial skills during their execution.
Bang bang bang bang!
Collisions erupted continuously. A dozen martial artists who had gotten close to Lu Ren were sent flying backward simultaneously.
"You think you can kill me with just this? All of you die!"
Lu Ren sneered. He no longer even relied on martial skills, instead charging headfirst with his "Qi Nourishing Body Tempering" physique.
"Ahhh!"
Screams echoed one after another as many martial artists were sent flying.
Immediately after, Lu Ren once again rushed in front of Xu Fu, thrusting his Sword Finger fiercely towards Xu Fu's chest.
"Ah!"
Xu Fu let out a series of screams. He watched as a huge hole was pierced through his chest. He looked at Lu Ren with disbelief and asked, "You... how many Spiritual Apertures have you opened?"
Xu Fu's eyes trembled as he stared intently at Lu Ren, his gaze filled with both fear and shock.
He never imagined Lu Ren could be this powerful. What kind of strength was this for someone in the Aperture Opening Realm?
Tang Hao, on the other hand, felt a sense of despair. He never expected Lu Ren to defeat so many experts from the Aperture Opening Realm single-handedly.
Lu Ren had actually held back when fighting him. Was this truly a Scrap Bloodline?
Bang!
Lu Ren struck out with his palm, sending Xu Fu's body flying. He crashed into another martial artist, killing him instantly.
Seeing this, everyone was filled with dread and dared not take another step forward.
"Xu Fu is dead, let's retreat quickly!"
"This guy is simply a monster!"
"Let's go, if we don't leave now, we might be the ones to die!"
Many lost all will to fight and chose to leave. Some even sought ways to escape the Tuoshe Cave Mansion.
"None of you who attacked me will get away. You will all stay here!"
Lu Ren drew his Fire Spirit Sword and madly charged towards the fleeing martial artists.
"Ah!"
A scream came from the west side of the Tuoshe Plaza. A martial artist was hit by Lu Ren's long sword and fell to the ground, dead.
At the same time, three martial artists from the south were struck by sword light simultaneously, falling to the ground and dying completely.
The more than twenty people who had attacked Lu Ren all died clean. The scent of blood filled the entire Tuoshe Plaza.
As for the martial artists who hadn't attacked Lu Ren, they were terrified and stunned, not daring to make any moves, lest they accidentally provoke Lu Ren and be killed.
However, Lu Ren didn't attack them. Instead, he turned his gaze to Tang Hao and strode over, saying, "Tang Hao, who else are you going to find to kill me?"
