Night Raid from the Demon Capital, Crushed Without a Second Thought

Jinling City, Xiahou Family Manor.

The night was completely torn apart.

"Boom--!!!"

With a deafening roar, the heavy gate of the manor, made of special alloy and said to be able to withstand even missiles, was instantly twisted, torn apart, and collapsed as if it had been struck head-on by a charging prehistoric beast!

The piercing alarm instantly resounded throughout the entire manor.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Countless guards and members of the Xiahou Family hidden in the shadows poured out from every corner like a hornet's nest had been stirred up.

However, what awaited them was a one-sided and brutal hunt!

Three terrifying figures, like three sharp knives, pierced deep into the heart of the Xiahou Family's territory!

Leading the way was none other than Chu Kuangren, the rising star of Demon Capital Martial University, who had rushed over in a hurry!

The frost-covered bloodstain on his face, cut by Dongfang Yueming with a piece of paper, had not completely faded, making his already arrogant face even more ferocious.

"A bunch of sewer bugs!"

Chu Kuangren roared, and the blood energy of the Blood Transformation Realm Third Level within his body suddenly erupted!

"Roar--!"

With a deafening roar, a Tyrannosaurus phantom, several meters tall and covered in dark red bone spurs, appeared behind him!

Bang bang bang!

Chu Kuangren didn't even use a weapon; he transformed into a human tank, crashing headlong into the crowd. Any Xiahou Family guards he grazed or touched instantly had their bones shattered and were sent flying like broken sacks!

What's even more despairing is that the Tyrannosaurus phantom behind him, with each sweep of its giant tail, could directly turn several Blood Refining Realm clansmen who were trying to transform into Variants into piles of minced meat!

On either side of Chu Kuangren.

The silver-haired boy and the other Blood Refining Upper-Tier Perfection also displayed a chilling killing efficiency. Their martial arts skills were extremely exquisite, with each strike aimed directly at the vital points of the Variants, without any hesitation.

In less than two minutes, the outer defenses of the Xiahou Family manor collapsed, leaving corpses strewn everywhere and rivers of blood flowing.

"You bastard!!!"

A deafening roar echoed from the entrance to the underground chamber.

Several terrifying figures, exuding the pressure of the Blood Transformation Realm, broke through the ground cover and rushed out with murderous intent!

"It's the elders!" The surviving members of the Xiahou Family seemed to have seen their saviors.

The three Xiahou Family elders, all at the Blood Transformation Realm, underwent a violent mutation the moment they burst from the ground. They transformed into terrifying mutated Variants, three meters tall, covered in black scales and barbs, their thick tails capable of easily shattering reinforced concrete!

"Dare to trespass on my Xiahou Family? Prepare to die!"

The three-headed monster let out an inhuman roar, accompanied by a nauseating stench, and surrounded Chu Kuangren and his two companions in a triangular formation!

Faced with this lineup, the two Blood Refining Realm prodigies' expressions changed slightly, and they immediately retreated to form a battle formation. But Chu Kuangren did not retreat but advanced instead, his eyes flashing with a crazy fighting spirit!

Just as he was preparing to use his trump card to fight these three Blood Transformation Realm Variants head-on.

"Buzz--"

An extremely heavy and terrifying true energy, seemingly capable of crushing the entire space, descended from the sky without warning!

In mid-air.

The muscular, burly instructor leading the team from the Demon Capital Martial University had somehow appeared Xukong in mid-air. He didn't even glance at the three roaring monsters; he simply raised his right hand casually and looked down...

A gentle press.

"Snap! Snap!"

"No--!!!"

Amidst the desperate screams of the three Blood Transformation Realm Variants, their proud, hard scales and mutated bodies were instantly crushed and burst like fragile eggshells under the invisible giant hand of true energy!

"Bang!"

Three enormous bursts of blood and flesh fireworks exploded on the ground, and even the screams stopped abruptly in an instant.

The power of the Qi Gathering Realm is terrifying!

With a single blow, three Blood Transformation Realm elders were instantly killed. The remaining members of the Xiahou Family below completely collapsed and scattered in all directions.

"Who dares to think the Xiahou Family has no one to rely on?!"

Just then, from the deepest part of the manor underground, a violent roar that shook the entire Jinling City resounded!

Rumble!

The earth trembled, and an extremely thick, viscous, dark red column of blood, as thick as mercury, shot into the sky!

Xiahou Chen, the current head of the Xiahou Family, has finally made his appearance!

His body had mutated to an extremely exaggerated degree. It was no longer in human form, but had transformed into a ferocious two-headed giant lizard, over ten meters long, with two heads and its body engulfed in dark red poisonous flames!

"Qi Gathering Realm?! You're just cleaners sent from above?!"

Xiahou Chen's two enormous heads spoke simultaneously, their vertical pupils filled with madness and rage. He was only half a step away from the Qi Gathering Realm, but ultimately he did not take that step.

Facing a Demon Capital Qi Gathering Fifth Level instructor from Shanghai, he knew his chances of survival were slim, but he was unwilling to give up!

"You mere Half-Step Qi Gathering scum, how dare you bark at me?"

The Demon Capital instructor snorted coldly, a cruel smile appearing on his rugged face.

"Die!"

The instructor from the Demon Capital no longer held back, unleashing his Qi Gathering Fifth Level true energy without reservation. He transformed into a dazzling meteor, carrying a world-destroying force, and collided fiercely with the two-headed giant lizard!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The entire Xiahou Family manor was instantly reduced to a sea of fire and ruins!

In a clash between powerhouses of this caliber, ordinary Variants and guards didn't even have the right to get close; they were all reduced to ashes in the aftershocks.

At the edge of the manor, in a very secluded ventilation shaft.

Xiahou Zhang, who had just emerged from the pass and was originally full of anticipation for enjoying the "blood feast," was now trembling and hiding in the shadows.

His vertical pupils, which had been filled with arrogance after breaking through to the Blood Refining Realm, were now filled with endless fear.

"It's over... it's all over!"

Xiahou Zhang covered his mouth tightly, afraid of making a sound.

He watched as the family elder was killed with a single blow, and watched as his arrogant father transformed into a giant lizard, being brutally rubbed to the ground by the muscular monster that descended from the sky.

"Escape! We must escape Jinling!"

Blood sacrifices, revenge—before absolute power, it's all a joke!

Xiahou Zhang didn't even bother with the family treasury, taking advantage of everyone's attention being drawn to the battle in the sky.

He transformed into a dark red afterimage flying close to the ground, using the ruins as cover, and desperately fled out of the manor like a stray dog.

"If only we could escape to the wilderness..."

Xiahou Zhang screamed wildly in his heart.

However.

Just as he was about to rush over the manor walls.

A figure wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, with his hands in his pockets, had quietly appeared in the path he was sure to take to escape.

"What? Where are you in such a hurry to go?"

Dongfang Yueming looked at the panicked monster with a half-smile.

He remained hidden in the shadows, having witnessed everything that had just happened.

"The officials of the Great Xia Country, or rather these top universities... are not entirely inactive and blind after all."

Dongfang Yueming pondered to himself. Seeing the people from the Demon Capital Martial University launch a swift and decisive attack, with even Qi Gathering Realm instructors personally taking part to eliminate these Variants, some of his previous prejudices faded slightly.

"Who... who are you?!"

Xiahou Zhang slammed on the brakes, staring in horror at the mysterious person who had suddenly appeared before him.

In its Variants perception, the man in black showed no signs of aura or blood flow, as if he were just a wisp of empty air!

But that's precisely what's most terrifying!

Having witnessed the power of the Qi Gathering Realm instructor, Xiahou Zhang's nerves were now extremely fragile; the slightest disturbance could shatter his spirit.

"Who I am?"

Dongfang Yueming tilted her head slightly, a cold smile curving her lips beneath the mask.

"Didn't you just come out of seclusion, and you were already yelling about skinning me alive and eating my heart?"

"What, you don't recognize your prey standing right in front of you?"

"The Yueming in the Dongfang...?!"

Xiahou Zhang's pupils contracted sharply, and his voice became so shrill it even changed tone!

"This is impossible! You're clearly just a useless commoner at the Fifth Level of Blood Nourishing! How could you have appeared here so quietly?!"

It roared madly, its subconscious contempt making it forget its fear at this moment, or rather, its fear made it completely lose its reason.

"You're playing tricks! Die!!!"

Xiahou Zhang roared, Blood Refining Realm aura. His mutated arm transformed into a sharp bone blade, slashing fiercely towards Dongfang Yueming's neck with a piercing whistling sound!

He was faced with an attack that he had once looked up to, and which was even seen as a "death warrant."

Dongfang Yueming didn't even lift his eyelids.

He simply extended one finger slowly.

It's solely due to the absolute physical strength of the [Chaos Indestructible True Dragon Body] with its [Rebirth from a Drop of Blood] ability!

"Click."

The bone blade, powerful enough to sever armor, shattered into countless fragments the instant it struck Dongfang Yueming's finger, as if striking an unshakeable divine mountain!

"What?!"

Xiahou Zhang's ferocious expression froze instantly, and a chill that went straight to his soul shot from his tailbone to the top of his head!

"Too weak, too slow, even this ugly exterior..."

Dongfang Yueming's finger gently tapped forward.

"It also makes people feel nauseous."

"Bang."

As he placed his finger on Xiahou Zhang's forehead.

There was no earth-shattering roar, nor any burst of energy.

Xiahou Zhang's enormous, hard Variants body was like having a miniature nuclear bomb implanted inside.

"Pfft!"

In an instant, before it could even scream, its entire body, starting from its head, disintegrated inch by inch, turning into a fine cloud of blood-red powder that drifted into the night sky.

Both body and soul perished.

After casually crushing the former "nightmare" to death, Dongfang Yueming didn't even glance at the ashes on the ground.

"The Xiahou Family is finished."

He turned and disappeared into the darkness.

"It's time to go and visit the Han Family."
