Lu Yu remained calm, but his aura had already transformed into a sword.
His fighting spirit had reached its peak, and his perception had been heightened to the limit.
He perceived all the living beings moving within hundreds of miles.
He resembled a war god, descending upon battlefield after battlefield, his methods of slaughter growing ever more brutal.
In one hour, his sword had already claimed the lives of nearly a hundred people.
As Lu Yu had just finished slaying a squad of more than ten Ape Demon warriors, a sudden and astonishing aura erupted from the volcano near him.
“Lu Yu!” From behind a distant volcano, nearly five hundred humanoid lifeforms charged toward him.
These people had suppressed their breath and were already lying in wait here for an ambush.
“The Dark Serpent Lord demands your life—die here!” Five hundred Supreme Elders launched their attack together. The surging waves of power stirred up the magma from the earth, transforming it into a massive tidal wave of molten lava that surged toward Lu Yu.
Five Hundred Zun masters joined forces, their combined power directly tearing through the earth.
“Boom.”
The lava wave was severed by a vast expanse of sword shadows. Ten thousand beams of sword light pierced through the lava wave, their star-like brilliance dazzling and blinding. The rippling light, like flowing water, made the hearts of the five hundred Zunzhen tremble.
“What, all of them are Supreme Star Soldiers.”
The Five Hundred Venerables cried out in astonishment, gazing at the sword shadows filling the sky, which seemed so familiar to them.
“This is the sword that Lu Yu held in his hand.”
“The sword can even leave scars on the palm of the Snake Demon Lord. He has ten thousand of them. How come he has ten thousand?”
The Five Hundred Arhats became flustered.
It was too late for them to escape.
Ten thousand blades of carnage descended, obliterating the five hundred Zun into nothing but crimson pulp.
The Dragon King’s devouring had already accumulated over 2,700 pieces of Supreme Flesh, with the energy seemingly on the verge of eruption. Yet, the fourth Dragon King still had not been born.
“Could it be the Dragon King?” Lu Yu couldn’t help but shudder inwardly.
Compared to the dragons, the birth of a Dragon King is even more astonishing.
At this very moment, news of an unusual phenomenon emerging within the lava, which might conceal the Fire King’s weapon, spread across the Land of Crimson Flames.
Qin Hai hurried over, and Lu Yu was also on his way.
Representatives from various factions also rushed to the scene.
They joined forces, fearing that the Snake Demon might attack and kill them individually.
More than three thousand humans and demons joined forces, heading towards the lava field.
The snake demon ambushed a human squad of five hundred people midway.
Qin Hai also killed nearly a thousand humanoids and humans in a row, appearing as ruthless and cold as a madman.
Before the Lava Sea, a large number of human, demon, and humanoid lives had accumulated.
Some people are not necessarily competing for the sake of winning; they simply wish to witness the outcome of this match.
Lu Yu arrived, Qin Hai also arrived, and the Snake Demon showed up as well.
The lava was churning, but no unusual phenomena occurred.
Qin Hai’s expression flickered slightly. Suddenly, he fixed his gaze on the Snake Demon and said sternly, “Snake Demon, you’ve set a trap, intending to capture all of us at once.”
“Haha, just realized it now?” the snake demon sneered. “I lured all of you in with just a few fragments of half-star artifacts. You humans are indeed still a bunch of headless fools. As long as there’s profit involved, you’ll always swarm in recklessly. This trap was specifically set for you and Lu Yu. As for the others who came in, they’ll only find a dead end.”
Trap?
Many people were slightly taken aback.
In an instant, everyone frantically rushed outwards.
Boom.
The ground behind the group suddenly split open, and the area where they stood began to collapse with a thunderous roar that shook the earth and mountains.
This is a vast land stretching for hundreds of miles.
We’re surrounded here.
Lava surged out like a tide, then poured inward.
Many people screamed in pain after being splashed by the lava.
Some people tried to escape, but from within the lava, countless creatures extended numerous arms to seize them, dragging the individuals back into the molten rock. Then, serpent-like beings holding fire pearls, ape demons, and strange-mouthed creatures leaped out of the lava, capturing everyone inside the trap—thousands of people in total.
Nearly four thousand elite warriors from various factions gathered together, believing they could withstand a single strike from the Serpent Demon.
They never realized that this place was a carefully laid trap by the Snake Demon.
Nearly four thousand individuals were surrounded, with more than eight thousand humanoid lives encircling them from all directions.
Even more alarming is the fact that over a thousand human lives are under the leadership of the second-tier rulers.
A sudden attack, in the span of a single breath, resulted in the deaths of over a thousand people.
By the time they came to their senses, hundreds more had already been torn to pieces.
It turned into a massacre; within less than five minutes, the bodies of nearly four thousand people lay scattered on the ground.
All the humanoid tribes here are elites who have entered this land, and they are all waiting for the next opportunity.
The snake demon stood there menacingly, narrowing his eyes at Lu Yu and Qin Hai, saying, “After waiting so long, today it’s time to settle this once and for all.”
The mutated body of the third-level Snake Demon was terrifying. A giant resembling an alien creature suddenly lunged toward Qin Hai, shouting fiercely, “Not only will I kill both of you today, but the reward for the greatest slaughter will also be mine.”
The snake demon lunged toward Qin Hai, its two monstrous mouths on his shoulders opening wide as two balls of venom shot toward Qin Hai.
Boom.
On the other side, after the eight thousand soldiers slaughtered all the humans and demons, they also rushed toward Lu Yu.
The leader of the second tier, a thousand warriors strong, let out a fierce roar. The combined force of their shouts and palm strikes split the air, sending Lu Yu flying backward.
Lu Yu’s body began to explode inch by inch in midair.
A thousand supreme beings—this must be the combined strength of more than three hundred high-level experts. How could one possibly resist such power?
Boom.
On the other side, Qin Hai collided with the Snake Demon.
A small piece of flesh from Qin Hai’s shoulder was torn away by the bloodthirsty claw of the snake demon.
“The sweet flesh and blood, indeed you are the one who can rival me,” the snake demon shrieked in excitement.
“You fool, you’ve targeted the wrong person!” As soon as Qin Hai saw the eight thousand humanoid warriors rushing toward Lu Yu’s shattered body, he couldn’t help but fly into a rage. “You’ve just given Lu Yu a chance. With only eight thousand warriors, you’re merely sending them to their deaths.”
“You two aren’t good enough, though you’re slightly stronger. If I’m going to kill someone, I’ll naturally kill you first.” The snake demon’s serpentine body twisted as it lunged toward Qin Hai.
“Boom.”
Two powerful experts clashed, and Qin Hai retreated once again.
The snake demon pressed forward step by step, launching another attack.
On the other side, Lu Yu’s flesh and blood exploded, scattering small pieces into the air, triggering a fierce scramble among hundreds of Second Stage leaders.
However, as soon as the flesh touched their mouths, these chieftains let out strange cries.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Flames burst from the mouths of these leaders, quickly spreading throughout their entire bodies.
Hum.
All of Lu Yu’s flesh and blood transformed into flames,凝聚成一团火光 in the air.
Lu Yu walked out of the flames unscathed, then suddenly raised his hand and slashed through the air.
Splash… splash…
Tens of thousands of blades of slaughter shot forth from the body, coalescing into a single, massive sword hundreds of zhang in length, which then slashed through the air.
Hmph.
With this single sword strike, the leader of the second level who had rushed to the front was completely eliminated, leaving only nine hundred remaining.
“Oh.”
The snake demon watched from the other side, clearly seeing everything, never expecting such an outcome.
Lu Yu killed a thousand people in an instant, and they all came right to his doorstep on their own.
“You idiot,” Qin Hai said angrily. “In terms of strength, I am superior to Lu Yu, but when it comes to destructive power, he surpasses me. Your eight thousand men are definitely doomed.”
Qin Hai, disregarding the heavy blow launched by the Snake Demon, struck a palm toward Lu Yu’s back.
Towering flames of chaos instantly surged forward.
The snake demon also struck back, sweeping towards Lu Yu.
With one move, Lu Yu made the Snake Demon see clearly. These eight thousand people won’t do—it’s equivalent to sending them to their deaths.
If all eight thousand of them were to die, it wouldn’t mean much to the humanoid race.
However, in this final day of carnage, Lu Yu managed to gain the upper hand.
Boom.
Qin Hai’s fist slammed onto Lu Yu’s back, causing a cracking sound to erupt from Lu Yu’s entire body.
“Your body has become even tougher,” Qin Hai thought with alarm, his eyes flashing with a sharp gleam.
Lu Yu opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He completely ignored Qin Hai’s palm strike, instead using the force of Qin Hai’s attack to propel himself like a bolt of lightning into the center of the remaining seven thousand humanoid warriors.
“I’ll take all of your lives,” Lu Yu said, his composure now completely gone.
He laughed heartily, flipped his palm, and waved it.
Tens of thousands of blades of slaughter transformed into a rain of swords falling from the sky.
Piercing screams and wails filled the air.
Sword rain, invincible and unstoppable, had already slain more than three thousand humanoid beings in a single swift descent.
“That bastard!” the snake demon roared in fury.
In the span of a single breath, three thousand companions were slain.
The difference in the number of people killed between him and Lu Yu increased by at least three thousand.
Unless he can kill Lu Yu, it’s impossible to find enough people to bridge the gap between the number of demons and humans.
The snake demon rushed toward Lu Yu.
Lu Yu’s second wave of sword rain descended, killing another three thousand humanoid beings.
The snake demon’s fist reached in front of Lu Yu.
A positive first encounter.
In an instant, the two fighters exchanged over a thousand punches. With every punch that landed, Lu Yu’s arms emitted the sound of bones shattering.
But as he pulled back his fist and threw another punch, his severed arm had already regenerated. That terrifying regenerative ability shocked the Snake Demon.
This was the first time he had fought against Lu Yu so fiercely, and he realized that Lu Yu was not much weaker than Qin Hai.
Even within this person’s body, there is an astonishing amount of energy that has yet to erupt.
The power of the snake demon reached its peak as it unleashed a punch onto Lu Yu’s chest, roaring in fury, “Die for me.”
Boom.
This punch caved in Lu Yu’s chest, sending him flying backward.
Lu Yu’s body was suspended mid-air. With an emotionless expression, he casually waved his hand and exclaimed excitedly, “I’ll take all their lives.”
Splash… splash…
The blade of carnage reappeared in the air, roaring as it transformed into a rain of swords descending toward the earth.
Qin Hai struck, launching an attack toward the Blade of Slaughter.
The Snake Demon also struck out, launching an attack toward the Blade of Slaughter.
They managed to blast away most of the killing blades, yet still three or four thousand landed on the ground.
The last one thousand human lives were killed.
In an instant, across hundreds of miles of land, only the three most powerful martial artists remained.
“Ahh!” the snake demon screamed like a madman.
An eight-thousand-person gap, how can this be overcome?
He must be killed, only by killing Lu Yu can this be resolved.
Boom—boom—boom—
The dark energy around Lu Yu was trembling, emitting cracking sounds as if something alive was about to be born.
