"Co at together!"
Hong Yu stood proudly, clad in golden Elental Power Armor and holding the Godslaying Golden Spear.
His long black hair danced ethereally behind him. He looked majestic, like that Gai Shi War God who fought the heavens!
Especially when facing the four strongest experts of his generation, his declaration, "Co at together," was filled with a Gai Shi elegance and the confidence and unyielding pride of a true genius.
He was knowingly walking into the lion's den!
This wasn't overconfidence, but absolute faith in his own strength.
At this mont, Hong Yu possessed more than enough power to back up his genius aura!
"Damn it, Hong Yu, you're too arrogant!"
"I admit you're strong, but you have no chance of survival against the four of us at once."
"In today's battle, forcing the four of us to team up against you ans that even if you die, you can be proud of yourself Under the Nine Springs."
Blood the Second and his two comrades spoke sinisterly.
Zheng Tian sneered silently, but a sinister Leng Yi flickered in his eyes, revealing an almost fanatical obsession and killing intent.
Hong Yu wasted no more words. "If you want to fight, then fight. What's with all the useless talk?"
"Since you're in such a hurry to die, then take this!"
With his fiery temper, Blood the Third was the first to strike.
His weapons were a Spirit-level Lower Grade Primordial Weapon: a pair of Poisoned Daggers. As he scraped them together, sparks flew, and the sinister chill they exuded was enough to give anyone goosebumps.
Blood the Third's fighting style was direct and straightforward, much like a Chariot in a legion's battle formation, ant to sow chaos in the enemy ranks.
Facing such an attack, Hong Yu frowned slightly and casually thrust his spear. "Illusion Peak Technique!"
If the Illusion Mountain Technique was like a hill descending, then the Illusion Peak Technique was like an entire mountain peak crashing down.
A hill is, at most, a few dozen ters high.
A mountain peak, however, is a magnificent object hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of ters tall.
The difference in power between the two was plain to see.
BOOM!
The golden Spear Aura swept out.
Blood the Third roared coldly, "I am known for my Innate Divine Strength! In a contest of pure power, even a Late-stage Celestial Soul Realm expert who specializes in strength is no match for . You, a re brat who just advanced to the Celestial Soul Realm, dare to compete with in strength? You're delusional..."
Blood the Third sneered confidently. Daggers in hand, he strode forward to et the incoming attack head-on.
Seeing this, Blood the Second imdiately issued a command. "With Blood the Third tying up Hong Yu, he won't be able to pay attention to anything else. Blood the Fourth, you attack from the left. Kill Hong Yu as quickly as possible. I'll attack from the right and harass him with my Godslaying Crossbow from a distance."
"Don't worry, Second Brother."
Blood the Fourth nodded, his face also full of confidence. "Even Blood the First would have trouble matching Blood the Third's strength. With him fighting Hong Yu, even if he can't crush him with brute force, tying him down so he can't split his focus will be no problem at all!"
The two of them imdiately split up.
As Zheng Tian's eyes darted about, he prepared a fierce attack but did not strike imdiately.
From his previous exchange with Hong Yu, he had gradually co to realize there was sothing different about him.
Against other opponents, one might be able to deploy strategies through calculation and planning.
But against Hong Yu, if one were to plan an attack based only on the strength he showed on the surface, they would likely die a miserable death.
'I refuse to believe you don't have a weakness.'
Zheng Tian stared intently at Hong Yu's every move.
Not even the slightest twitch of Hong Yu's eye could escape his sharp gaze.
All of this seed to take a long ti to describe, but it all happened in the span of a single thought.
Hong Yu's Illusion Peak Technique had already reached Blood the Third. Full of confidence, Blood the Third crossed his daggers before him, planning to use his usual tactic of entangling his opponent with absolute power. If the opportunity arose, he would even use the strength he was most proud of to crush his opponent directly.
Even if his own power wasn't enough to kill the target instantly.
But Blood the Third was also certain that his teammates, Blood the Second and Blood the Fourth, would deliver a devastating blow to their target at the earliest opportunity, before the opponent could break free!
This combat model had been tried and tested by Blood the Third's team of assassins ti and again.
If their opponent this ti had been an ordinary Early-stage Celestial Soul Realm Martial Artist, such a tactic would indeed have achieved a surprising effect.
Unfortunately...
Their current opponent was nad—Hong Yu!
His left eye, the Insightful Cyan Eyes, had already captured every one of the trio's movents.
A disdainful curve appeared on his lips as Hong Yu let out a low growl. "Get lost!"
His arms tensed, and an astonishingly great power, like a torrential river, surged into the Godslaying Golden Spear.
The Godslaying Golden Spear erupted with a golden light, like a golden mountain crashing down.
The golden light enveloped Blood the Third, his expression changing continuously as the Godslaying Spear approached...
First, it was confidence; then, solemn hesitation; then, disbelief; until finally, his legs went weak, and his eyes filled with terror.
His pupils dilated to their limit, and horrified cries rumbled in his throat. "No... no... don't—" His screams were drowned out by the golden light.
Blood the Second and Blood the Fourth, who had been confidently rushing to hunt Hong Yu, suddenly stopped in their tracks.
They watched, stunned, as Blood the Third, a man of Innate Divine Strength, was cleaved in two by the Godslaying Spear.
Blood splattered, and bits of flesh flew onto their faces, feeling sticky.
The two subconsciously raised their hands to wipe their faces. Sticky, hot blood stained their palms, and their eyes gradually widened.
Their breathing subconsciously grew labored. "Blood... Blood... Blood the Third was instantly killed?"
Blood the Fourth gulped. "Damn it, is this guy a monster? He... he instantly killed Blood the Third with absolute power?"
Shaken from his shock, Blood the Second roared, "Blood the Fourth, run!"
"Huh?"
Blood the Fourth froze.
Through the fading golden light, he saw Blood the Second waving at him frantically, his expression a mixture of terror and anger. A shiver ran down his spine, and he instinctively looked toward Hong Yu.
The mont he looked, all the color drained from his face. "Ho-holy crap, can you not be so fast..."
Before he could finish, the golden light was upon him.
SWISH! The pulsating Spear Aura severed his right hand.
Blood the Fourth scread and tried to run, but Hong Yu was faster.
The golden light flashed again. His body stumbled forward, but his right leg, from the knee down, remained behind.
He staggered and collapsed to the ground.
"Damn it..."
Blood the Fourth cried out. Just as he was about to struggle up, a massive force pressed down on his back, pinning him to the ground. It was Hong Yu's foot.
With a SHING, the Godslaying Spear landed beside his neck. Its sharp Spear Aura felt like it was already slicing his throat, drenching Blood the Fourth in a cold sweat.
Forcing himself to endure the excruciating pain from his severed limbs without a sound, Blood the Fourth heard Hong Yu speak. "I'll give you one chance to live," Hong Yu said flatly. "Who hired the Blood Killing Tower to assassinate ?"
"You... you can dream on..."
Blood the Fourth said through gritted teeth.
Hong Yu snorted. "Not talking? Then what use are you to ?"
With a flick of his finger, a golden fla shot out and landed on Blood the Fourth.
Blood the Fourth let out a muffled grunt before being consud by the sea of fire.
Hong Yu then turned to Blood the Second.
Blood the Second trembled and subconsciously took several steps back. His face was pale, his eye twitching as he stared at Hong Yu. "Don't... don't... don't co any closer..."
"We made a bet earlier," Hong Yu said coolly. "If I reached the Championship Arena first, you would tell who the mastermind is. But it seems you have no intention of doing so."
Blood the Second swallowed hard, his eyes darting toward Zheng Tian. "Zheng Tian, if I die, you'll never be able to defeat Hong Yu alone."
Zheng Tian was silent for a mont before saying, "Fine. We'll team up!"
As if he had been greatly reassured, Blood the Second nodded, his eyes flashing with a cold light. "Hong Yu, you killed Blood the Third and Blood the Fourth! I will avenge them!"
Blood the Second let out a cold shout.
His cultivation was at the impressive Mid-stage Celestial Soul Realm.
His strength was by no ans weak!
The Godslaying Crossbow in his hand fired more than a dozen cold arrows in succession. Hong Yu whipped his Godslaying Spear into a wall of Spear Aura, blocking every one.
However, Blood the Second wasn't overly disappointed. He never expected the Godslaying Crossbow to kill Hong Yu; its purpose was rely to distract him and create an opening for him and Zheng Tian to strike together.
The two charged at Hong Yu, one from the left and one from the right.
"Blood God Battle Halberd, Slay Gods and Exterminate Demons!"
A bloody light surged from Blood the Second's body.
The Blood God Battle Halberd was a Spirit-level High-Grade Primordial Weapon, its power no weaker than that of the still-sealed Godslaying Spear.
The weapon's afterimage was like a crimson Demon God, slashing toward Hong Yu.
A phantom of a crimson Demon God accompanied the mighty Blood God Battle Halberd. A foul, bloody wind swept out, so thick with the stench of gore it felt as if fresh blood was filling the very air.
Even Hong Yu couldn't help but frown, his mind montarily dazed.
Seeing this, a sinister, triumphant look flashed in Blood the Second's eyes.
This Blood God Battle Halberd was one of the great treasures of the Blood Killing Tower, refined with the blood of 3,333 young male and female Virgins. Because of this, the Blood God Battle Halberd was saturated with a dense resentnt that could easily affect the minds of even ordinary Late-stage Celestial Soul Realm experts.
The outco of a battle between experts is often decided in a single instant.
The Blood God Battle Halberd could make a person lose focus, and even that fleeting mont was enough to decide an expert's life or death.
Seeing that Hong Yu had apparently fallen prey to the Blood God Battle Halberd's power, Blood the Second was ecstatic. He roared, "Zheng Tian, Hong Yu's mind has been affected by my Blood God Battle Halberd! Now is the perfect ti to kill him!"
Zheng Tian's eyes flashed as he responded, "Alright! We'll kill this brat together!"
"Good!"
Suspecting nothing, Blood the Second accelerated, charging toward Hong Yu for the kill.
Just as he closed in on Hong Yu, about to deliver the killing blow, Hong Yu's eyes suddenly snapped open.
Gazing into the clear, mocking light in Hong Yu's eyes, Blood the Second's heart pounded. It was too late to slow down. He roared in terror and fury, "Zheng Tian, save !"
However...
Zheng Tian, however, had sensed sothing was wrong long ago. He had been holding back his speed, and the mont the situation turned, he had changed direction and was now dashing toward the high tower in the center of the Championship Arena.
Blood the Second's eyes were practically splitting with rage. He roared, "Zheng Tian, you bastard! You set up?"
Zheng Tian paid him no mind and kept running.
Hong Yu ignored Zheng Tian. He raised his hand and thrust. The Godslaying Spear pierced through Blood the Second's chest, impaling him and lifting him high into the air. Hong Yu tilted his head up slightly. "I'll ask one more ti: who is the mastermind?"
"In your dreams..."
Before Blood the Second could finish, Hong Yu flicked a golden fla from his palm that slowly began to burn his limbs. Screaming from the excruciating pain, Blood the Second yelled, "Whatever you do to is useless! If you dare to kill , the Blood Killing Tower will never let you go!"
"This isn't the first ti I've killed soone from your Blood Killing Tower," Hong Yu said coolly.
Blood the Second roared in agony, "Kill ! Just kill ! Hahaha, even if you kill everyone else, the champion on this Championship Platform still won't be you! Hahaha..."
Hong Yu glanced at Zheng Tian, who was already climbing the Championship Platform. The corner of his mouth curved into a playful smile...
"Are you so sure the one who climbs the Championship Platform is the one who gets the last laugh?"
Blood the Second froze, even forgetting the heart-wrenching pain as he stared at Hong Yu in astonishnt.
At that very mont...
The entire Championship Platform suddenly pulsed with an incredibly sacred aura, and an ancient, world-weary voice rang out...
"Five thousand years... At last, I have waited for you!"
