"Heavenly Gang Overlord Fist!"
The Marquis of Zhenguo roared, his fists shaking. All his primal energy surged into his fists. The already cracked skin instantly expanded, and traces of blood dyed his fists red. He stared at Xu Chu in the void, like electric blue threads flashing in his pupils, and infinite killing intent erupted.
A naked, gray upper body phantom slowly materialized. Only a pair of huge purple fists were clearly outlined, while the rest was nothingness, vaguely discernible as a human phantom.
"Kill!"
The Marquis of Zhenguo clenched his fists, carrying the phantom behind him. He swung them, and the two giant purple fists, like a pair of sky-shattering hammers, brought forth thick bolts of lightning as they slammed towards Xu Chu!
The void boomed, and purple lightning streaked across it, churning like the sea, creating ripples. The Marquis of Zhenguo's face contorted. All his primal energy condensed in his fists, and his entire body was taut. More blood flowed.
"Roar!"
The gray giant phantom let out a roar, igniting layers of flames as if berserk!
"Boom boom boom!!"
"Come and fight!"
Seeing the berserk Marquis of Zhenguo, Xu Chu finally felt a spark of interest. His previous casual gesture had not stirred his fighting spirit.
As the approaching fists neared, his Fire Cloud Blade began to hum. He stamped his feet, and vast, surging killing intent swept across the heavens. He stroked the Fire Cloud Blade with his left hand, and instantly, a Nameless Fire vibrated outwards. The deep red, mottled tiger on his arm gradually materialized!
This was almost the Marquis of Zhenguo's strongest attack, igniting Xu Chu's fierce fighting spirit, making him increasingly excited.
The mottled tiger on his arm instantly vanished!
Behind Xu Chu, a blood sea churned, with waves surging and crashing through the void. Two blood-red eyes, like suns, shot out two beams of blood-red light!
"Roar!!"
A tiger, engulfed in raging flames, materialized behind him!
"Slash!"
Xu Chu pointed his Fire Cloud Blade forward and instantly struck!
"Boom boom boom!!"
The blood sea churned, and the mottled tiger roared to the sky. The monstrous gaping maw hung from Xu Chu's blade, and instantly shot out!
For a time, the void of the entire battlefield was covered by the sky-obscuring blood sea, dozens of miles of void became a crimson ocean, and strands of scarlet flames weaved through it.
A single strike!
Blood sea, river of stars!
The mottled tiger, holding the blood-red blade light in its mouth, instantly ignited threads of flame. With a high-pitched cry, a hundred-zhang Vermillion Bird divine beast appeared, its feet treading on the tiger's back. Its wings unfurled, setting the sea of fire ablaze!
"Boom boom boom!"
The blessing of the two divine beasts made the descending blade light seem like the sky falling, a single strike that immersed all things!
Flames erupted from the blood sea like meteors plunging into the battlefield below. Heavenly fire descended, destined to bring about upheaval!
"Puff puff puff!"
The purple giant fists traversed the void, instantly stirring up sparks. In a single breath, fiery waves surged!
"Ah!!!"
The Marquis of Zhenguo was now bearing 99% of Xu Chu's pressure. He maintained his punching posture, constantly accumulating power. The blood on his fists was completely scorched away, and his clothes began to burn.
"Riiip!"
The clothing on his chest was instantly torn apart by the fierce blade intent, and a shallow blade mark appeared on his chest.
The tiger crouched, the Vermillion Bird flapped its wings. The immense pressure twisted the Marquis of Zhenguo's face. Blood seeped from his seven orifices, and he began to retreat continuously. Each step he took in the void was accompanied by dense lightning.
"Marquis of Zhenguo!"
The old Emperor exclaimed, wanting to step forward, but the moment he spoke, Zhang Liao closed the distance between them. The terrifying deterrence made the old Emperor hesitant to act. Before him, the general of the Vermillion Bird Legion had an even more potent and dense blood aura than his own. With the slightest carelessness, he would be cleaved by Zhang Liao's blade. To fight him, one needed absolute focus, and more focus!
"Ah!"
Before the blade light even landed, the Marquis of Zhenguo's fists began to burn, crackling like dripping oil.
"Roar!"
The mottled tiger let out a fierce roar, and instantly the blade light and blood surged outwards. The mottled tiger instantly vanished, merging into the blade light!
The Vermillion Bird flapped its wings and transformed into flames, instantly engulfing the Marquis of Zhenguo in layers of Nameless Fire. The intense burning continuously consumed his physical body.
"Boom!"
The blade light instantly shattered the fist shadows, and in an instant, streams of light flashed forward!
A streak of blade light directly swallowed the Marquis of Zhenguo. There was no splatter of blood, no scattering ashes, not even the pain of his flesh being torn apart before he instantly turned to nothingness.
"Hummm~~"
A golden light flashed on Xu Chu's body, and waves of surging primal energy poured into his physical body.
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
The powerful heartbeat propelled streams of blood throughout his body!!
"Hahaha, exhilarating!"
"Exhilarating!"
Xu Chu held his Fire Cloud Blade, feeling the vast primal energy within him. Having recently broken through, he had once again entered a minor realm.
"What!"
The old Emperor looked at the breaking-through Xu Chu and instantly felt despair. However, one of the Han Dynasty's legions had three experts at the Heaven-Melting Realm. Zhang Liao alone, just standing there, made him uneasy. Now, there was Xu Chu, who was in the fourth layer, sending the Marquis of Zhenguo flying hundreds of zhang with one strike, and then cleaving him in the void with another. Sudan Novel Network.
The soldiers of the Blood Sun Dynasty cried out in anguish. Could the Blood Sun survive relying solely on the old Emperor?
Soldiers' eyes were wide with rage. The Marquis of Zhenguo, a protector of the Blood Sun for hundreds of years, had died on the battlefield!
......
At the mansion of Li Si, the Left Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty's Chang'an City.
Li Si, with his eyes tightly closed, sat in a hidden chamber. Golden characters of "Zhu" (punish) floated in the void, surrounded by dense, yet gentle, lightning that circled him.
Suddenly, a smile flickered across Li Si's lips, and his aura continued to ascend.
"Hummm~~"
"Kaka kaka~~"
The primal energy above the Prime Minister's mansion poured into the residence like a vast ocean. The immense aura spread outwards like that of a god or demon.
Instantly, his eyes narrowed slightly. In that moment, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the void. Even though Li Si had not experienced battlefield training, while handling state affairs, he had also broken through the Heavenly Martial barrier in his primal energy cultivation.
Heavenly Martial to Heaven-Melting Realm, a qualitative leap. A surging torrent of blood and qi erupted, shocking all martial artists!
In the royal palace, Yang Hao, who was examining Gao Ying's detailed information, instantly received several system prompts.
