Chapter 423 The Execution

Such delicious blood food, rarely seen!

"All you ministers, your crimes are confirmed, execute them immediately!"

Li Si stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the void at Zi Mu, Lian Jin, and the others, his words icy, laced with a chilling killing intent.

Hua Mu Lan, wielding a long spear and clad in silver battle armor, now emanated a chilling gleam. Her eyes fixed on Zi Mu of the Fire Spirit Hall in the Primordial Desolate Domain. This would be her first battle in this异界 (otherworldly realm), and she intended to display her fierce dominance with the head of this filthy beast!

"Yes!"

Fu Hao, gripping her bronze axe-钺 (axe-like weapon), her entire body glowing with multicolored radiance, seemed to echo the power of the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny.

"Do you not see, the Yellow River's waters come from the heavens!"

"Boom!!"

Li Bai, his body reeking of wine, unleashed his aura. Gone was his usual carefree and unrestrained demeanor; his face was solemn, his eyes radiating killing intent. These ancient demons dared to scorn the Human Emperor; such a crime deserved death!

"Ching!"

The vast firmament instantly condensed into a thousand-zhang sword qi, its sword intents clashing. The three-foot green sword at his waist was drawn three inches, a cold gleam erupting with terrifying power. The sword, spanning the heavens, stood behind Li Bai, slicing through the sky.

Li Si trod on the void, lightning flashing in his eyes. Golden characters merged into heaven and earth, bursting forth like blue lightning dragons, like divine chains designed to bind all beings who disrespected the Human Emperor.

"Hah!"

Wang Yue, Chen Tang, Qin Qiong, Gao Ying, and Zhang Liao roared in unison. The void surged, and their immense power pressed down, shaking Zi Mu and Lian Jin to their core!

"Brother Lian Jin, this battle may not be so simple. Looking at them, their blood qi even surpasses ours!"

Zi Fu couldn't help but look on in horror. These were no ordinary humans; they were likely the new generation of human prodigies. This battle would by no means end easily.

"What, are you scared?"

"Nine-headed Serpent, humph!"

"Just like the Yan Python and Scorpion Great Serpent clans! Vile!"

Lian Jin roared, his eyes full of disdain.

"You..."

Zi Fu was instantly enraged. This Primordial Wild Bull lineage truly lacked brains, utterly foolish!

"Enough!"

Zi Mu roared, his expression grim. "With the great battle imminent, how can you quarrel amongst yourselves? Will this not make us a laughingstock to the humans!"

"Fight! These humans must not be spared!"

Zi Mu glared at Hua Mu Lan, who was staring at him. How dare a mere woman look down on him.

"I, under the command of the Human Emperor, sentence you to be beheaded at the waist!"

"Come and die quickly!"

Hua Mu Lan, holding her long spear, looked at Zi Mu, who leaned on a staff, and charged forward. At this moment, she was not part of any major legion, and her armor was plain, yet her own power erupted, her combat strength shaking the heavens!

With a thrust of her spear, Hua Mu Lan's peak primal energy was condensed to perfection. With a deafening roar, the void above her head rumbled!

With a single spear thrust, a divine dragon strikes the heavens!

"Damn it!"

"You must not underestimate the humans!"

Zi Mu's eyes were filled with coldness as he watched the skyward thrust, a terrifying blow that a seemingly weak woman could unleash.

"Not good!"

"Senior Zi Mu, be careful!"

Zi Fu's face changed drastically. These humans were truly favored by heaven and earth. At such a young age, she was no less powerful than the older generation of Creation Realm demonic beasts. The shock she gave him completely shattered his perception of humans.

"Sky-Splitting Strike to Heaven!"

Hua Mu Lan shouted, her cold spear trailing wisps of pale blue light. Her Creation Realm aura far surpassed that of Zi Mu, who remained at the first level of Creation.

"Oom~~"

The void vibrated as if this single spear thrust could make heaven and earth collapse!

"This..."

Zi Mu's staff instantly transformed into a fiery saber, wisps of fierce flame steaming from its blade. The moment the flames appeared, they were instantly engulfed by the spear's radiance, daring not to contend.

"This... how can this human... I have been cultivating at the first level for thousands of years, how can this woman..."

Zi Mu gripped the saber, cold sweat beading on his forehead, incredulous. This human woman, only in her fifties, possessed a blood qi and Creation Realm aura far beyond his ability to resist.

With a high-pitched cry, layers of flame ignited behind Zi Mu. A red fire crow flapped its wings in the sky behind him. Zi Mu revealed his true form, all his primal energy condensed. He unleashed a saber strike, and the fire crow roared!

"Nine Nether Desolate Domain Blood Spring Forest—Zi Fu!"

"Under the Human Emperor's decree, you are sentenced to beheading at the waist!"

Just as Hua Mu Lan and Zi Mu engaged in battle, Fu Hao, wielding her bronze axe-钺, brought it down with a single strike. For a moment, multicolored radiance formed a divine bridge connecting the mortal realm. The primal energy fluctuations were calm, yet they hid a terrifying killing intent! From the Su Dan Novel Network.

Just as the divine bridge was dozens of zhang from Zi Fu, it instantly transformed into a river of blood, a cold gleam within the river revealing an overwhelming killing intent.

This axe strike carried the weight of heaven and earth, faintly capable of drawing upon the world's momentum. Within the blood river, waves churned, and wisps of multicolored radiance spewed forth, not at all out of place.

"Roar!"

Zi Fu did not underestimate his opponent. He roared, drawing a crooked long sword upon which perched a nine-headed serpent, each head baring its fangs.

Zi Fu gripped the long sword, his eyes glowing red. The true form of the nine-headed serpent slowly materialized behind him, eighteen strands of red light like eighteen small suns, obscuring the sky.

"Boom!"

The moment the nine-headed serpent's true form appeared, it seemed to be suppressed by the momentum of the blood river, its heads rearing back and roaring.

White robes fluttering, Li Bai extended a finger and with a slight tremor, the void instantly exploded. A thousand-zhang sword qi pointed at Lian Jin, who was two zhang tall. As the sword qi passed, the void seemed to be torn apart by a sharp blade, flowing into a green river. Flowers of green lotus filled the entire river, each lotus seeming to nurture a three-foot green sword. The green lotuses slowly bloomed, and streams of green light instantly condensed into sword qi.

The long sword at his waist trembled subtly, sword cries echoing within it!

"Ah!"

Lian Jin's face turned purple and green. His thick flesh was directly split by sword marks, blood flowing down.

Li Bai sneered, flicking his finger. The dense green lotuses in the green river, with a thunderous roar, unleashed terrifying sword qi, forcing Lian Jin to his knees, his face red, veins bulging.

"Human!"

"Die!"

He held a giant axe, resisting the terrifying sword qi. With his right hand, he gripped the axe and swung it horizontally. The void trembled, as if an axe strike could split heaven and earth and cause the void to collapse!

Only Li Si stood quietly with his hands behind his back, watching Fang Yu of the Blood Feather Palace in the Blood Spring Desolate Domain. He gazed at Fang Yu, this arrogant fellow he had sentenced to dismemberment.

He quietly watched Fang Yu, who looked somewhat panicked. The attacks of Hua Mu Lan, Fu Hao, and Li Bai had truly made him tremble with fear.

"Humph!"

Li Si roared, "Fang Yu of the Blood Feather Palace in the Blood Spring Desolate Domain, you have shown contempt for the Human Emperor, your crime is deserving of death!"

"I sentence Fang Yu of the Blood Feather Palace in the Blood Spring Desolate Domain to dismemberment!"
