Chapter 125: Ambush

Roaring wind whistled past Lu Yu’s ears!

The scenery before him rushed past in a blur, everything turning into a straight line.

Lu Yu dashed through the mountains like a panicked wild beast fleeing in terror.

At this moment, Lu Yu was also calculating the time, estimating how much longer it would take for Tu Xue to catch up!

He didn’t know the exact power of the Devil King. But at least through this method, he could roughly calculate the speed!

One minute, two minutes…

When Lu Yu silently counted to the two hundred and thirty-fourth number, the furious roar from Tu Xue behind him had already erupted.

Tu Xue descended from the sky, his entire body radiating a blinding white. Even the blood markings and eyes that once adorned him now gleamed like flowing light.

His speed is so fast that he can stop everything in its tracks.

When Lu Yu heard Tu Xue’s furious roar, his neck had already been gripped by one of Tu Xue’s massive hands.

“How dare you, human, mock me with something worthless!” Tu Xue snarled, his voice filled with menace. “I will have your tendons ripped out and your skin flayed.”

Lu Yu chuckled, “Haha, you actually think I’m stupid enough to carry the item on me, so you can find it and take my life?”

The blood-stained hand gradually tightened, saying, “Don’t speak, and I can kill you right now!”

Lu Yu’s neck made a crunching sound as it was gripped tightly, the immense force compressing his airway and causing his face to turn pale.

Tu Xue coldly said, “The smell of blood on you is strong. You should understand that if I crush your head, you won’t have the slightest chance to recover your body. If you don’t want to die, it’s best to obediently give me back my things.”

Lu Yu’s face was contorted with pain as he desperately kicked his legs and swung his fists, struggling as if trying to break free from Tu Xue’s grasp.

Lu Yu’s hand finally struck Tu Xue’s chest, but it was weak and soft, like a gentle breeze passing through.

“With strength like yours, do you really think you can escape from me?!” Tu Xue laughed maniacally, tightening his grip as he prepared to make Lu Yu experience the terror of death even more intensely.

Lu Yu’s struggle grew increasingly feeble; his hand pressed almost limply against Tu Xue’s chest.

Suddenly, Lu Yu’s expression turned extremely sharp. The palm pressed against Tu Xue’s chest shot out countless black needles!

“Poison Dragon Spike!”

Lu Yuli shouted fiercely, and in an instant, a thousand毒龙刺 (toxic dragon spines) shot from his palm into Tu Xue’s chest!

Toxic Dragon Spike – Ignoring armor, it instantly deals 30,000 damage and prevents the wounded area from healing until death.

What Lu Yu was waiting for was the moment when Tu Xue was at his most violent and his guard was at its weakest.

His purpose was not merely to escape, but to kill Tu Xue!

And now, he has succeeded!

Tu Xue reacted swiftly; as soon as Lu Yu’s expression changed, he had already sensed the impending danger.

It’s not just dangerous—it’s perilous, a fierce and ominous peril that made his entire body, even his skin, turn cold with dread!

He threw Lu Yu aside, trying to evade Lu Yu’s attack.

At least half of the thousand Dragon-Toxin Spines pierced through Tu Xue’s body!

Bleeding has caused – the corrosive poison has already implanted its toxic seeds!

Lu Yu didn’t dare to release all the Poison Dragon Thorns at once, fearing that Tu Xue might dodge them.

“Level eight? How is that possible! How can you, a weak human, possess the Level-eight Poisonous Dragon’s Touch!” Tu Xue, sensing the changes within his body, exclaimed in shock, his voice shifting from arrogance to disbelief.

He stared at Lu Yu, watching as the distant human sprang up from the ground and charged toward him.

“Die for me!” Tu Xue was truly enraged, unleashing his real power like a ferocious beast.

Boom!

The air collapsed under this punch, with cracks in the void appearing beneath it. The earth and the heavens trembled in awe of this single strike.

The mighty Demon Lord, the sovereign of ten thousand demons, had actually been wounded this severely by a mere human with only a fourth-level star soul. He could not bear such humiliation any longer.

Before the fist even arrived, the force of its wind pressed down like ocean waves, already shattering the desolate mountain behind Lu Yu.

Silver Dragon, possess me!

Around Lu Yu’s body, a dazzling silvery dragon phantom coiled, its radiant silver light emanating from the dragon repelling all the incoming fist winds.

Boom!

The blood-splattering punch arrived, heavily striking Lu Yu’s body. As the force was about to burst forth, Lu Yu grabbed hold of Tu Xue’s arm. This was truly unavoidable!

All of Lu Yu’s remaining “Venomous Dragon Thorns” pierced into Tu Xue’s body.

Nineteen thousand poisonous dragon spines pierced Tu Xue’s arm, from the shoulder to the shoulder blade, leaving it riddled with holes, the flesh and bone nearly separated.

At the same time, the power from the Blood-Slaughtering Fist had already struck Lu Yu.

The silver dragon, possessing all the power, was unable to withstand the impact.

Lu Yu was blasted away, and as he flew back, he tore off one of Tu Xue’s arms.

He crashed through ranges of mountains; faced with such power, he couldn’t possibly resist.

“How the hell do you have so much health? I stabbed you with the Two Thousand Venomous Dragon Piercers, and you’re still not dead?” Lu Yu was shocked, looking at the severed arm in his hand and then at Tu Xue. Those two attacks alone should have stripped away at least several billion points of Tu Xue’s health, yet they hadn’t killed him.

Lord of Demons, is it really that terrifying?!

Tu Xue’s body became paler, starting to turn transparent, until even his blood, flesh, bones, blood vessels, and nerves could be seen clearly beneath his skin.

His left arm was broken, the bleeding stump was closing, but it did not regenerate!

Tu Xue’s eyes were almost transparent, like hollow voids through which one could see the empty brain beyond.

“The Silver Dragon’s possession, the Silver Dragon’s possession—you actually have the power of the Silver Dragon Demon as well!” Tu Xue was no longer just furious; he had already lost his sanity.

A human with a fourth-level star soul actually made him lose an arm! He thought his punch could kill Lu Yu, but he didn’t guard against the Venom Dragon’s Sting. He never expected that the other party still had the Silver Dragon’s embodiment.

His body transformed into a streak of light and, in the blink of an eye, appeared before Lu Yu.

There was no need for further words; Tu Xue now only wanted to kill Lu Yu and take his life!

His fist was raised, and at the moment it was about to strike, he was startled to see the ground beneath his feet instantly transform into black stone. Dozens of kilometers of land, including the wild mountains within, were all changing!

Countless blades of the Yellow Spring surged forth from the black stone, transforming into a rain of spears that darkened the sky and poured down upon Tu Xue.

“Fan Tian!”

The last shred of sanity in Tu Xue’s blood finally pieced everything together.

Everything from the very beginning was a conspiracy.

Brahma knew that Lu Yu could hold him back. He used Lu Yu’s attempt to stall him as an opportunity to steal something from another person, and then turned around to kill him.

It’s not just about seizing treasures; they want to kill him!

“I will kill both of you!” Endless white vapor surged from Tu Xue’s body, his flesh turning transparent until only the skeleton remained.

White mist surged out and transformed into a pure white knight’s heavy armor on Tu Xue, covering even his eyes.

Millions of blades from the Yellow Spring rained down upon the heavy armor, shattering one after another.

Tu Xue’s white heavy armor was completely unscathed, without even a single scratch.

“Heavenly Demon, do you really think you can wound me with just the Yellow Spring Blade?” Tu Xue was both astonished and enraged, never expecting that another Demon Sovereign would scheme against him at a time when he was already injured. In a battle between equals, he was now at a disadvantage with one arm missing!

Tu Xue’s figure flickered and vanished in front of Lu Yu, then in the blink of an eye, reappeared atop a distant mountain peak.

At this moment, he was worried about Fan Tian, not Lu Yu.

Lu Yu originally wanted to discard the severed arm in his hand, but upon noticing that the flesh and blood were still regenerating and repairing the wound, he hesitated. After a moment’s thought, he placed the severed arm into his backpack.

The moment he stood up, he saw on a mountaintop two shadows—one black, one white—entwined together.

Every strike from the two was as fast as lightning, with a force capable of destroying the heavens and shattering the earth!

Within a short span of a few minutes, thousands of moves had already been made.

Tu Xue, fueled by rage and protected by heavy armor, became more courageous with each passing moment in battle.

However, Huo Wu’s speed was indeed decreasing. Finally, after more than ten minutes, he was hit in the chest by a punch from Tu Xue and sent crashing toward the ground.

The flames danced as Huo Wu’s black robe shattered, revealing her true appearance, which momentarily stunned Tu Xue mid-air.

“You’re not Fan Hao, you’re Huo Wu!” Tu Xue showed slight surprise, then burst into laughter and said, “No wonder your power has been weakening—it must be the secret method of the Fan Tian race forcefully using the power Fan Hao left for you. After this round, how many more times do you think you can draw upon it? A mere level-seven魔族, dare you provoke me?”

As the flaming dance touched the ground, Lu Yu had already arrived in front of Huo Wu, discovering that apart from the blood at the corner of her mouth, Huo Wu had no other injuries.

“Are you okay?” Lu Yu asked with concern.

Huowu smiled faintly and shook her head, saying, “It’s okay, the final blow was blocked by my father’s power.”

“A fourth-level and a seventh-level cultivator; what more do you hope to achieve before the Demon Lord?” Tu Xue leaped down from the desolate mountain and approached the two, saying, “Huowu, back then I proposed to your father, asking to marry you, but he refused. It seems now that your father is dead, and you’ve succeeded as the leader of your clan. Then now, marry me, and I will ensure the safety of your Fan Tian clan. Otherwise, you will soon learn what it means to be a demon’s slave.”

Tu Xue became excited and thrilled. He had initially felt some concern about facing a demonic lord. After all, there was still the corrosive poison within his body draining his life force, and to make matters worse, he was missing an arm!

Now, he is no longer afraid.

Grade 7 and Grade 4, how could they possibly challenge him, a Grade 9 Demon Lord, by surpassing two levels?

Of course, above all, he was amazed by the beauty of Huo Wu.

“Compared to the past, you’ve become even more beautiful. Tsk tsk, Huowu, you will be my demonic slave from now on!”

Lu Yu turned his head toward Huo Wu and said, “One minute. If you don’t put on a full set of armor by then, you’ll be watching your husband die!”

As he spoke, Lu Yu raised his hand and retrieved the armor they had obtained from the Demon Emperor’s Hall from the warehouse in Fanggang, then shoved it in front of Huo Wu.

“This is—” Tu Xue looked at it at a glance, his eyes filled with bloodshot rage, nearly going insane.

“Fire Dragon Armor, Fire Dragon Armor!”

Tu Xue remembered this armor; judging by the patterns and style, it was undoubtedly the Fire Dragon Armor!

In those days, someone had once taken out a set of armor of the same design from the Tongmo Hall.

The Fire Dragon Battle Armor of the ninth grade, how could a mere fourth-grade human possibly open a ninth-grade stone gate! Moreover, this shouldn’t even appear on the lowest ninth-grade stone gate!

“Give it to me!” Tu Xue, overwhelmed with excitement, transformed into a streak of white light and rushed toward Huo Wu.

Once he gets his hands on the Fire Dragon Armor, with his demonic master’s power combined with the armor, he will surely become the ultimate demon king!

Lu Yu slammed his hands onto the ground, creating an invisible wall of light that blocked Tu Xue’s charge. Immediately after, the wall transformed into a dome of light covering dozens of meters, trapping Tu Xue inside.

“Phantom Spirit Ball, Phantom Iron Wall! Tu Xue wasn’t just excited anymore—he was genuinely astonished by the human standing before him.”
