Chapter 266: A Suicide Mission

The intent to kill may seem similar to the will to fight for others.

This is something that can be accumulated gradually.

It meant something different for Lu Yu.

Lu Yu had accumulated a ninth-level assessment of killing intent within his body, and he needed time to integrate all of this killing intent.

Over the course of five days, Lu Yu absorbed the ninth-level killing intent entirely.

The aura of slaughter around him was akin to a deadly weapon.

After absorbing the Level 9 killing intent from this evaluation, the killing intent he had previously absorbed through the Blood Tower within his body could still reach the strength of a Level 8 evaluation!

At this moment, he himself looked like a sword. Every inch of his skin seemed to be shimmering with starlight capable of shattering the void.

In recent days, the conflict between the two countries has also been gradually decreasing.

Everyone knew that this was merely the prelude to a major battle.

More and more masters of darkness gathered near Shanghai, and even all the star masters arrived.

Fire Dance, Desolate Shadow, Thousand Serpents, and others—these experts at the Master level of demonic cultivation appeared before the port of Shanghai. The combined power of these individuals transformed into an invisible force that enveloped the sea surface like a radar, scanning every part of the ocean within hundreds of nautical miles.

And the Underworld Ruler, Bai Zhan, as well as Lu Yu had all arrived.

They are all waiting!

If the Wang snake wants to occupy Huaxia, it must destroy the strongest force in Huaxia.

It must face the experts of Huaxia.

If the Wang snake dares to send people to launch surprise attacks on other places, then with a small country like Japan, mutual destruction would ensue.

Perhaps Japan wouldn’t survive more than an hour before sinking.

Therefore, the King Cobra must engage in a decisive battle here in Shanghai, or else risk mutual destruction attacks between both sides.

Exchange—it’s something the Japanese just can’t afford!

Day 29.

More and more warriors are rushing over, and even more powerful demons are on their way.

The ordinary people in Shanghai had already evacuated. Any living being remaining in the city was at least a ninth-level King.

The momentum of a thousand demon lords—

Among the millions of Level 9 Monarchs, ninety percent come from the Demon Race.

This was the first time the Huaxia Demon Clan revealed such an astonishing trump card.

The ten thousand human kings couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath when they saw the dark, swarming demonic race.

With such power, it would have been far too easy for the demonic race to exterminate the humans of Huaxia at the very beginning.

However, the Demon Race did not exterminate them, for they truly possessed the overwhelming power to deem such an act beneath them.

There is the Demon Sovereign, over a thousand Demon Lords, and millions of Kings—

Want to take action? Just one day, only one day is needed!

No, perhaps in less than a day, the human race in Huaxia could face extinction!

Above this sea, more than one hundred thousand two-headed eagles flapped their wings, darkening the sky. The air trembled as clouds scattered, as if a storm were blowing fiercely across the heavens toward the earth.

Time passed second by second—

As the time mentioned by the king cobra drew nearer, dark winds could be seen approaching from the distant horizon at the edge of the sea.

The bloody scent drifted inland with the sea breeze.

“It’s here,” Bai Zhan said in a deep voice, gripping the stone axe in his hand.

“It’s stopped,” said Ming Zun, frowning. “Why have they come to a halt on the sea surface without moving?”

Bai Zhan hesitated and asked, “Are we waiting for something?”

At that moment, from the black winds at the horizon, a two-headed, snake-tailed eagle flew out and soared towards the skies above the sea on the Huaxia side.

“Roar!”

More than one hundred thousand royal double-headed eagles, seeing the enemies approach, let out eerie screeches together over the sea.

The two-headed snake-tailed eagle cast a contemptuous glance at the flock of two-headed eagles in the sky. Suddenly, a pair of even more piercing shrieks rang out from its two beaks.

This sound was like a thunderous roar rolling across the sky, causing the ten thousand double-headed eagles to whimper and retreat in fear.

The Thousand Serpent Demon Lord coldly snorted and said, “Bringing forth a primordial demon at the Demon Lord’s limit, do you think that can intimidate anyone?”

The aura of the Thousand Serpents spread out, continuously surging until it reached the peak of a Demon Lord.

“Hmph, just a bunch of demons?” The two-headed monster eagle sneered, “How could your strength possibly compare to that of our Primordial Demons?”

“Are you here to provoke me?” Bai Zhan said in a cold voice: “So what if you’re an Origin Demon? I’ll kill you just the same.”

The two-headed roc looked at Bai Zhan and smiled, “Supreme Lord, I’m not here to provoke you. I’ve come merely to deliver a message. If you wish to fight against King Zun, please go to the sea. This land will be King Zun’s territory, and he wouldn’t want to destroy the land that will one day be his own.”

“What, it’s got quite the attitude.” Bai Zhan angrily said: “What does it think it is, waiting for me to challenge it? Wang Zun, it dares to use the title King Zun, does it really think it’s invincible?”

Bai Zhan’s expression was grim, and so was Mingzun’s.

Because this title of King Zun can only be used by the strongest among the supreme rulers.

A snake daring to claim kingship would have been chopped into pieces long ago in their time!

Letting a serpent become king is an insult to humanity!

The double-headed roc laughed and said, “You’ve already been defeated once. Do you want our King to come in person?”

“Die!” Bai Zhan, whose temper was as fierce as a wildfire, raised his battle axe and was about to bring it down.

“Master Demon Lord, allow me,” Qian She said coldly. “I’d like to see what makes Yuanmo so arrogant.”

“Bring me his head,” Bai Zhan gritted his teeth and said, “Let me go challenge him. Do you really think I’m destined to lose?”

A thousand snakes nodded, the killing intent between his eyebrows instantly appeared, and his body shot straight up to the sea surface like a cannonball.

“Kill!”

A thousand snakes roar as the power surging through Lu Yu’s arms shatters the void. Stream after stream of energy, like a thousand venomous serpents, launch from his arms and rush toward the two-headed monstrous eagle from all directions.

“Long ago, there was a clan among the original demon race known as the Thousand Serpent Clan. To my eagle clan, serpents were merely prey. You aren’t even a true demon—how dare you use serpents before me?” The two-headed monster eagle laughed loudly; its two beaks opened simultaneously, each resembling a massive whirlpool.

Thousands of serpentine tendrils of venomous qi soared uncontrollably through the air, being sucked into the eagle’s beak.

Immediately afterwards, the twin-headed monster eagle’s four eyes shot out icy cold光芒 (glowing light), and from its two mouths, two giant serpents, each a thousand feet long, erupted forth like lightning, striking towards the myriad snakes.

Qianshe’s body hovered midair, taking a step through the void to evade the attacks from the two giant serpents.

Boom!

Above the thousand snakes, a dark eagle’s wing suddenly swooped down with great force.

The Thousand Snake Reversal Punch was thrown, and the moment the fist made contact with the eagle’s wing, every hair on the body stood on end.

“Fifteen Mountains!”

A thousand snakes shrieked in alarm, their expressions showing utter disbelief!

The Demon Lord’s limit was only ten mountains of power, yet the original demon’s power reached as high as fifteen mountains.

Qian She’s arm emitted a series of crisp cracking sounds from the joints, and the entire arm twisted in a grotesque manner.

Then the eagle’s wing struck the Thousand Snake, sending it crashing to the ground like a cannonball.

It took the combined efforts of two Demon Lords to barely intercept Qianshe!

However, both of their arms were numb from the impact, and the ground beneath their feet had cracked, forming fissures dozens of zhang long.

The two-headed monster eagle sneered coldly, “How can the Demon Race ever compare to us Primordial Demons? Even with the power of ten mountains, it’s far too easy to kill you.”

The eyes, seasoned by a hundred battles, sparkled with lightning-like menace.

The original demon’s power was actually a whole level above the demon race.

The Nine-headed King Cobra did not merely send an original demon to deliver a message; it was also a provocation and an insult!

“I stand here to accept any challenge. If anyone dares to defy me, come forth without hesitation.” The two-headed eagle provocatively scanned the entire city with its four eyes.

A million troops, that number is indeed astonishing.

However, when it comes to one-on-one duels, the original demons are certainly superior to the demon race.

The ease of Thousand Snake’s defeat caused the others, who had all reached the limit of Demon Lords, to involuntarily feel pressure.

“I’ll do it!” Huo Wu stepped forward and, looking at the monstrous eagle in the sky, said, “I’ve only heard about the strength of the Primordial Demons before, but I’ve never had the chance to challenge one. Today, I’ll take this opportunity to fight a fair battle against a Primordial Demon of the same level!”

“Women?” The bizarre eagle’s four eyes swept over Huo Wu, and he chuckled weirdly, saying, “I never fight with women! Your bodies are weaker; you don’t have the qualification to battle against us, the Yuan demons!”

“Is that so?” Huo Wu’s eyebrows furrowed as the ground beneath her feet instantly began to darken, and even the sea surface started transforming into a blackened land.

Many demons even began to look at the two-headed eagle with sorrow, as if it were a hundred battles.

You’ve picked the wrong person this time.

You can go after other people, but if you lay a hand on this woman, it will be nothing but trouble.

Nowadays, everyone in all of Huaxia, including the demon race, knows that Huowu is Lu Yu’s woman. If you harm even a single hair on her body, you’ll die in the most miserable way possible.

Immediately afterwards, between the black stones, an endless amount of water vapor transformed into hundreds of blades of the Yellow Spring, all surging skyward together.

“Shatter for me!” The monstrous eagle flapped its wings, sending two slashing gusts of wind howling toward the Blade of Yellow Spring.

“Break!” Huo Wu softly uttered a single word.

Bang, bang, bang…

Blades of the Yellow Spring rose with raging flames, while a fiery dragon blazed to life on Huo Wu’s silver armor.

Boom!

Behind the armor of the fire dancer, a pair of flame-covered dragon wings spread wide. Several zhang long, the wings lifted her body off the ground.

The storm generated by the Monster Eagle’s flapping wings shattered the Yellow Spring Blade and caused the flames on it to explode.

At the same time a fireball exploded in the sky, more fireballs continued to explode.

In an instant, thousands of feet of sky were engulfed in flames.

“You have some strength, but if you dare to lay a hand on me, I’ll kill you!” The strange eagle flapped its wings fiercely amidst the sea of flames, extinguishing the fire closest to its body.

Buzz!

Huowu broke through the sea of flames with a fiery whirlwind, her palm striking fiercely towards the monstrous eagle’s head.

The monstrous eagle’s body flipped mid-air, and with a single wing, it struck towards Huo Wu’s arm.

Huowu withdrew her hand, spread the dragon wings on her back, and swiftly retreated backward with her.

At the same time, flames from all directions compressed inward, while once again the blade of the Yellow Spring formed on the ground, carrying fire as it surged upward toward the sky.

One person and one eagle soared through the sky, each attack striking like a storm sweeping across the land.

Even a king would find it hard to withstand the ultimate attack of the Devil Monarch.

Millions of kings kept retreating.

The port of Shanghai was battered by storm-driven waves crashing towards the city in successive layers.

Even Lu Yu couldn’t help but be moved.

Lu Yu was surprised to find that Huowu’s true strength was actually much higher than his own.

Many people were already secretly glancing at Lu Yu, knowing that he had already resolved to kill.

This battle lasted nearly an hour. Suddenly, the monster eagle’s four eyes emitted intense beams of light, like a blazing sun, momentarily blinding everyone.

When people’s eyes returned to normal, Huowu fell from the sky toward the earth, and the flames in the sky also extinguished.

Lu Yu leaped into the air, catching the falling Huo Wu. As he looked at Huo Wu’s pale face, all he saw in her eyes was an overwhelming murderous intent.

The Sovereign of the Netherworld’s voice turned grave as he said, “Is this the Scorching Sun, one of the Nine Techniques of the King Serpent?!”

“I don’t care if it’s the blazing sun or anything else—you’re leaving your life here today!” Lu Yu landed, looking at Huo Wu’s face with a pang of pain.

He did not interrupt Huo Wu’s battle, out of respect for her.

However, daring to harm Huo Wu is a provocation to him!

“You’re asking for death—I’ll grant it to you!” Lu Yu looked up at the monstrous eagle in the sky, let out a long roar, and shot straight into the air!
