Wilderness Ambush, Burning the Heavens with One Hand

Chaotic Stone Forest.

This is a notorious ominous place outside the Purple Tenuity Imperial Capital, with jagged rocks that resemble countless sharp swords piercing the sky, shrouded in a faint gray aura all year round.

"Arrive."

The sleazy-looking man leading the way suddenly stopped.

He turned around, and the ingratiating smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a sinister grin of triumph.

"Fellow Daoist, this place has excellent feng shui; it's a good... burial ground."

"Oh?"

Dongfang Yueming stopped and calmly surveyed his surroundings.

"It's really good."

"So... where are your helpers? Call them all out."

"Hmph! Still being stubborn even when death is imminent!"

The lewd man sneered and retreated rapidly, crushing a jade talisman in the process.

"We humbly request that the three lords lend their assistance!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three scarlet beams of malevolent energy shot into the sky from the depths of the Chaotic Stone Forest in a triangular shape!

The terrifying pressure instantly sealed off the Xukong within a ten-mile radius!

"Hehehe... I never expected that this time the target would be a fair-skinned, delicate pretty boy."

Accompanied by a chilling laugh, three figures clad in blood-red heavy armor and shrouded in a thick aura of blood descended with a roar!

The leader, with an aura as deep as the sea, was none other than a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Immortal General Perfection!

The other two are also Late-Stage Immortal General!

"It's the ' Three Blood-Handed Devils '!"

The moment Qingxue saw the three people, her face turned deathly pale, and she gasped in shock!

"Master, be careful! These three are assassins secretly trained by the Third Prince! They are extremely ruthless and specialize in handling the dirty work that the royal family cannot do themselves!"

"It is said that the three of them, working together, once caught a vulnerable opponent off guard and killed a newly ascended Immortal Lord!"

"Oh? You can even kill Immortal Lord?"

Dongfang Yueming raised an eyebrow slightly, but there was no fear in his eyes; instead, there was a hint of interest.

"It seems that the Third Prince really went to great lengths to kill me."

"Boy! Now that you know our name, why don't you kneel down and accept your death?!"

Old One leader of the "Blood Demons" stared at Dongfang Yueming with eyes as sharp as a venomous snake, and licked his scarlet lips.

"His Highness has ordered that the men be torn to pieces, and the women... be taken back for His Highness's enjoyment!"

"This is what happens when you offend His Highness!"

"Do it!"

He didn't want things to get complicated, so he immediately issued a kill order!

"Kill!"

The two Blood Demon Guards behind him roared simultaneously, and two blood-red longswords appeared in their hands!

"The Law of Blood - [Blood Shadow Slash]!"

"Laugh--!"

Two blood-red blade beams, each a hundred feet long, crossed to form a cross, carrying a terrifying power capable of corroding spiritual energy and severing flesh, and instantly struck in front of Dongfang Yueming!

This attack, executed with perfect coordination, sealed off all opportunities for evasion!

"Master!" Qingxue exclaimed in surprise, instinctively trying to summon her magic weapon to defend herself.

However.

Dongfang Yueming remained standing with his hands behind his back, without even unleashing his protective aura.

He simply straightened his chest slightly.

[Origin Immortal Physique) ]!

At this moment, every bone in his body emitted a deep Lei Ming, and a dark golden luster One Flash across his skin!

"Clang! Clang!"

Two clear, metallic clangs echoed through the Chaotic Stone Forest!

The two crimson blade beams, powerful enough to cleave an ordinary Late-Stage Immortal General in two, slammed into Dongfang Yueming's chest.

However!

Aside from sending up two sprays of sparks, it didn't even manage to tear the hem of his clothes!

Not even a white mark was left!

"Wh... what?!"

The two Blood Demon Guards who attacked felt their tiger's mouths crack from the shock, and their blood blades almost flew out of their hands!

They stared wide-eyed at Dongfang Yueming as if he were a monster!

"The physical body must withstand the laws?!"

"What... what kind of physical body is this?! Could it be a third-tier immortal artifact that has come to life?!"

"Finished?"

Dongfang Yueming patted off imaginary dust from his chest, a cold smile curving his lips.

"The force was too light."

"Since you like playing with blood, then I'll let you... get your blood pumping!"

He slowly raised his right hand.

Within his palm, a wisp of crimson-gold flame suddenly flickered!

[Mid-Rank Law of Fire (Perfection)]!

Although it was only Middle Law, under the impetus of Dongfang Yueming's vast and boundless immortal power, this wisp of flame displayed a terrifying temperature capable of burning the heavens!

"Oh no! Retreat quickly!"

The Blood Demon Old One, who hadn't made a move yet, sensed the destructive aura contained within the flames, his expression changed drastically, and he frantically issued a warning!

But it was too late.

"Go."

The Dongfang Yueming flicked its fingers.

"Boom--!!!"

That wisp of crimson-gold flame instantly transformed into a roaring fire dragon, swelling to a thousand feet in size amidst the wind!

Wherever it passed, rocks melted and air evaporated!

Before the two Blood Demon Guards could retreat, they were swallowed whole by the fire dragon!

"Ah--!!!"

The piercing scream lasted only a moment.

Their protective blood aura, their heavy armor, and even their tough bodies melted instantly like candles before this Perfection- level Middle Law fire!

Vanished into thin air!

"Old Two! Old Three!"

The Blood Old One's eyes were bloodshot!

I'm going to kill you!!!

He roared, burning his life essence, and a terrifying aura approaching that of the Immortal Lord Realm erupted. A blood-red spear appeared in his hand, which he thrust wildly towards Dongfang Yueming!

"Too slow."

Dongfang Yueming shook his head.

He took a step forward, and his figure vanished instantly.

The next second.

A long, powerful hand pierced through layers of blood-fiend defenses and seized the Blood Old One's throat!

"Snap!"

All the roars and killing intent were instantly choked in his throat.

Dongfang Yueming lifted this powerful Immortal General Perfection at the peak of his cultivation with one hand, his eyes indifferent as ice.

"The Third Prince's assassins?"

"Soul Search!"

A massive Divine Sense violently surged into the other's Sea of Consciousness!

A moment later.

"Bang!"

With a casual flick of his wrist, Dongfang Yueming unleashed a burst of crimson-gold flames, burning the corpse in his hand to nothingness.

He turned his head and looked at the sleazy guide who was already paralyzed with fear on the ground not far away.

"No... don't kill me..."

"Puff!"

A flick of the finger brought peace to the world.
