Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Instant Kill
The man explained,
"The entire Yama Organization selects young geniuses from all over and trains them from childhood. Each batch of geniuses goes through countless slaughters, and in the end, only three emerge from the infighting. These two, Lei Shi and Lei Mai, are A Class elite assassins from Yama, both at the Eighth Layer of the Grotto Heaven realm."
"Don’t be fooled by their Eighth Layer Grotto Heaven cultivation. Their actual strength far exceeds that of ordinary Martial Artists at the same level. And with the Poisonous Fiend in their hands—the ninth-ranked Demon Soldier in the world—their power is even more terrifying!"
"As for Lei Shi, he has tempered his body with heavenly lightning, long ago reaching a state of invulnerability. His Thunder Control Fist Technique is incredibly domineering. It’s said that within the Li Kingdom, no one at his level can even touch a hair on his head. He once single-handedly charged into the Chen Kingdom’s army of one hundred thousand, took the head of their top general from amidst their ranks, and escaped completely unscathed."
As he spoke, the man shook his head and sighed. "I’m afraid that among all the young disciples of our Martial Kingdom, not a single one can hurt him!"
Hearing this, the crowd gasped. They felt it was all over for the Martial Kingdom.
However, just as the man finished speaking, the crowd saw a flash of black light in the altar scene.
In an instant, the bald man’s body froze in mid-air. His limbs and head suddenly shifted, separating from his torso.
"SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!"
Several Blood Arrows shot through the air.
In the blink of an eye, the bald man’s entire body was dismembered, its parts scattering across the sky.
And through the gaps between the pieces of his body, Shen Daoxing could be seen appearing behind him, leaping toward the summit without a backward glance.
"This..."
The crowd was stunned, then turned to look at the man who had spoken earlier with strange expressions.
The man who had spoken earlier had a dazed look on his face. "Pretend I didn’t say anything."
「On the Trial Mountain Peak.」
The man cloaked entirely in a purple robe had the Ninth Princess in a death grip by the neck, holding her up in the air.
The Ninth Princess kicked her feet wildly, struggling desperately. Her face was flushed, and she couldn’t speak.
The corners of the purple-robed man’s mouth curled into a bizarre smile. He seemed to relish the feeling of watching someone slowly die at his hands.
Suddenly, a black light flashed. The bald man was instantly dismembered in the sky. The purple-robed man glanced over and let out a small sound of surprise.
He felt no sadness at his brother’s death. Instead, his gaze on Shen Daoxing grew feverish with excitement.
"Interesting! To think the Martial Kingdom still has an expert like this!"
As he spoke, the purple-robed man stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips. "Looks like things won’t be boring after all. I hope you’re a worthy toy, one that will let me play for a little while longer."
But just as the purple-robed man’s voice faded, a black light suddenly flashed before him.
A red line appeared on the hand gripping the Ninth Princess’s neck, immediately followed by a clean cut.
His right hand, still holding the Ninth Princess, fell to the ground with a THUD.
Crimson blood sprayed out like a Blood Arrow.
"Hmm?"
The purple-robed man’s eyes narrowed. His experience told him this was bad.
"Poisonous Fiend!"
The purple-robed man called out softly, hastily summoning the Demon Soldier Poisonous Fiend to his back.
"BANG!"
Purple and black violently collided against his body, erupting in a shower of dazzling sparks.
Shen Daoxing’s figure materialized, blocked by the Black Fiend.
But after appearing, Shen Daoxing’s feet moved slightly.
Demon Ape Meteor Step!
He left behind a string of afterimages and vanished once more.
The purple-robed man dodged and weaved, directing the Black Fiend with his finger.
"BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Fierce collisions echoed all around as Shen Daoxing’s figure flickered in and out of sight.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Blood was still dripping from the purple-robed man’s severed wrist, yet he seemed to feel no pain. On the contrary, he fought with increasing vigor, laughing maniacally.
The purple-robed man appeared gravely injured, yet he was fighting Shen Daoxing on even terms. In fact, he even seemed to have a slight upper hand.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Hahahaha!"
The purple-robed man gripped his sword and slashed down heavily at an empty spot.
"BANG!"
Shen Daoxing’s figure materialized.
The Poisonous Fiend in the purple-robed man’s hand flared with intense purple light, and a rolling toxic mist spread out.
Worthy of its title as one of the world’s Demon Soldiers, wherever the purple toxic mist went, all flora withered and died. Even the ground was corroded until it was riddled with holes.
The Trial Mountain Peak was a churning sea of purple mist, as if a ferocious beast was about to charge out from within at any moment.
"Shen!"
The Ninth Princess scrambled to her feet, gasping for breath.
Seeing Shen Daoxing enveloped by the toxic mist, she cried out in alarm and was about to rush forward to help.
The Eldest Prince’s figure suddenly appeared before her, grabbing her arm. "Ninth Sister, you’ll only be a burden to Shen here! Let’s go! Quickly, come with me!"
"This move of mine is called Soul-Devouring Ghost Fiend! Can you withstand it?"
The purple-robed man roared. The purple light intensified, and the surrounding toxic mist churned violently. In a blur, countless wisps of mist coalesced into snarling hungry ghosts, surging forward like an overwhelming tide of phantoms.
Amidst the eerie toxic mist, Shen Daoxing stood with a calm expression, his white robes fluttering. Seeing that the Eldest Prince had already pulled the Ninth Princess down the mountain, he no longer had to hold back.
’Finally, I can go all out!’
Shen Daoxing slowly raised the Great Ming Demon Sparrow. A golden light flashed in his eyes, and then a streak of black shot out.
"Hmm?"
The purple-robed man didn’t understand what Shen Daoxing was doing.
Forbidden Sword Technique! Heaven-Reaching Fire!
That streak of black suddenly unfurled. Rolling Demon Fire, fused with Red Flame Separation Fire, surged out from Shen Daoxing like a tidal wave that could topple mountains and overturn seas. The temperature on the entire Trial Mountain Peak instantly rose by several degrees, and the sky seemed to be dyed crimson, a vast expanse of scarlet.
In an instant, all the toxic mist on the peak was burned away completely, as if it had been wiped from existence.
Within a single breath, the purple-robed man was enveloped by Shen Daoxing’s flames.
Before he could even react, the purple-robed man’s entire body melted like a candle, slowly collapsing to the ground. He was devoured by the surrounding black and red flames. Without even time for a scream, he was burned to ash, leaving only the Demon Soldier, the Poisonous Fiend, to fall to the ground with a CLANG, emitting a faint glow.
Shen Daoxing walked over, silently picked up the Poisonous Fiend, and tucked it away.
Outside, there was dead silence. It had all happened so fast that the crowd hadn’t even had time to react.
After a long moment, someone finally exclaimed in admiration, "Excellent! Well done!"
National Preceptor Ouyang Rong finally let out a sigh of relief. He turned to the Martial Kingdom’s emperor, his face wreathed in smiles.
"Your Majesty, we have Shen Daoxing to thank for this. If it weren’t for him, I fear all the young disciples of our Martial Kingdom’s Royal Family would have perished in there."
Indeed! The hearts of all the civil and military officials, which had been caught in their throats, finally settled.
The young people in the Trial Land weren’t just disciples of the Royal Family, but also the young geniuses of the Martial Kingdom. If all of them had died in there, the Martial Kingdom would have no future to speak of.
