The fierce punch ca layered, a chaotic flurry of fist-shadows that arrived before him in an instant.
A normal Celestial Soul Realm expert, even one at the Late-stage Realm, would likely be unable to withstand this punch.
For Blood the First to be ranked as the number one assassin of the Celestial Soul Realm Level in the Blood Killing Tower, a place teeming with genius killers, one could only imagine that his strength could not be asured by common sense!
Facing Hong Yu's fatal punch, Blood the First's feet slipped as he simultaneously retreated a step and a half.
He neither created too much distance nor stayed too close.
This point alone was enough to put Hong Yu on alert!
'Don't underestimate this step...'
This distance of a step and a half was precisely in the blind spot of Hong Yu's punch, allowing him to evade the attack. Furthermore, because it was only a step and a half, the distance between them wasn't great, preventing Hong Yu from closing the gap for a follow-up strike.
That step and a half not only dodged Hong Yu's attack but also neutralized any possibility of a further assault.
"He's got so real skill!"
Hong Yu praised him inwardly.
Blood the First was incredibly experienced, but Hong Yu was no wet-behind-the-ears rookie either.
He took a shallow breath, and as his chest rose and fell slightly, the balls of his feet abruptly pivoted, spinning his body to the other side.
This spin harnessed the montum from his own turning force, combined with a trace of Fist Force from his punch, allowing Hong Yu to rotate with incredible speed.
He suddenly lifted his leg, his left leg whipping out like a steel dragon's tail.
The Huhu whistling of the wind-breaking sound was enough to make one's heart pound in their chest.
Faced with such an attack, Blood the First's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected Hong Yu's combat experience and on-the-fly tactical adjustnts to be so swift.
He was secretly furious; it was clearly too late to dodge now.
"Blood Light Shield!"
Blood the First abruptly thrust his hands to his right, let out a low growl, and a blood-red light condensed above his palms, forming a blood-colored Elental Power Light Shield.
BANG!
The kick lashed out, striking the Blood Light Shield.
Back when he was stuck in the Earth Soul Realm, Hong Yu's physical strength already exceeded 100,000 jin. Now that he was in the Celestial Soul Realm, coupled with the powerful physical enhancent from the Eight Desolates Saint Slaying Technique, this kick carried the force of at least 300,000 jin.
It slamd heavily into the Blood Light Shield, forcefully shattering it to pieces.
"Damn it, hold!"
Blood the First was horrified. He never imagined Hong Yu would be this powerful.
The mont the Blood Light Shield exploded, Blood the First activated his blood-shadow-like Body Technique to evade, retreating more than ten ters away.
His eyes, dark and gleaming with a bloody light, bore into Hong Yu. "You actually broke through to the Celestial Soul Realm? No wonder your strength is so different from the intel. It seems those three wastes, Blood the Second and the others, already died at your hands."
"You talk too much!"
Hong Yu shouted coldly.
Stomping with thunder, his Tyrant's Walk caused his speed to surge once more. Like a gale, like a hurricane, he left a trail of lightning afterimages as he condensed a Sword Pointing with his hand and charged forward with a fierce strike.
The force of this strike was quite formidable.
Hidden within it was the True Martial Intent Shocking Technique. It looked plain and unremarkable on the surface, but in reality, it was like thunder brewing in the dark.
The mont his opponent t it head-on, it would erupt like a ferocious Thunder Beast.
Blood the First's gaze narrowed.
His strength was about on par with Zheng Tian's, so naturally, he possessed his own confidence and pride.
Having already suffered a considerable loss at Hong Yu's hands had left him extrely irritated.
He absolutely could not tolerate another defeat.
He took a deep breath. "This move is called 'Blood God Destruction.' I have only used it twice in my entire life. The two who died to it before were both famous Celestial Pride Sons of their ti. One of them was even an expert as renowned as Zheng Tian. Today, another lost soul shall be added to Blood God Destruction's tally!"
"Hong Yu, you should be proud to die to Blood God Destruction!"
With his words finished, Blood the First slowly closed his eyes. Red Elental Power began to seep out from his body, writhing slowly around him.
This blood-colored Elental Power was like blood, wriggling and viscous.
It clung to Blood the First's body, gradually coalescing into a ten-ter-tall, blood-red illusion.
This illusion was entirely blood-red. Its eyes were hollow and expressionless, and from each corner of its mouth, a half-ter-long, ferocious tusk jutted out to the side.
From beneath its blood-red robes, a pair of withered, skeletal hands slowly reached out, grasping toward Hong Yu.
As Blood the First executed Blood God Destruction, Wang Fei, who was watching from the side, turned deathly pale. She stumbled back several steps, her crimson lips turning white. Her eyes, fixed on the blood-red illusion, flickered with disbelief and terror.
Beichen Huo, who had been standing beside her, also felt an indescribable discomfort when the blood-red illusion appeared, but his reaction was not as exaggerated as Wang Fei's.
He opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Th-This Blood the First truly is the Blood Killing Tower's most genius killer! He even learned Blood God Kill!"
Wang Fei recalled the descriptions of Blood God Kill from her mory, her expression shifting from horror to excitent and exhilaration. "Hahaha, this is Blood God Kill! Legend says that only a Martial Artist with a Slaughter Primordial Vein can cultivate it! Upon reaching Minor Achievent, they can summon the Blood God, and the appearance of the Blood God Illusion ans it will reap the opponent's soul!"
"Judging by the height of the Blood God behind Blood the First, this Blood God can definitely reap the soul of a Celestial Soul Realm expert. Hahaha, Hong Yu is a dead man!"
Wang Fei shrieked like a madwoman.
Beichen Huo frowned. "Reap the soul? If that's the case, then this nuisance Hong Yu is indeed dood."
The Yellow Heaven Ten Thieves' expressions grew grim, all of them revealing looks of worry.
Unfortunately, they were currently immobilized and could only watch anxiously from the sidelines...
"Big Brother, you have to be okay!" Beichen Feng's eyes were filled with worry and nervousness as he clenched his fists.
As for Hong Yu...
The mont the Blood God Illusion appeared, he did indeed feel his soul tremble violently.
As the Blood God Illusion's pair of ghostly claws reached for him, Hong Yu felt his soul shake even more intensely, as if it was about to be hooked and stolen away at any mont.
Inside his mind, the Star River Celestial Spirit Bone emitted a faint, clear stream that cald the palpitations of his soul.
Hong Yu's gaze refocused. He stared at the blood-red illusion and gave a cold smile. "Trying to play soul gas with ? Heh heh, you're still far too lacking!"
"Ice Divine Blade!"
Hong Yu abruptly halted his charge. Within his left eye, his Cyan Eyes, a Star River swirled, and a blue light shot out like a sharp arrow.
"What the hell is that?"
Blood the First was stunned.
He quickly sensed that the aura fluctuating from the blue light sent a chill down his spine. He was terrified, but it was already too late to dodge.
Gritting his teeth, he steeled his heart and had the Blood God Illusion grab at the Ice Divine Blade.
However...
When the Blood God Illusion's ghostly claw ca into contact with the Ice Divine Blade, a frigid energy wave suddenly pulsed from the blade. Amidst a KRA-KA-KA sound, the ghostly claw was instantly covered in a layer of blue ice crystals.
The claw's forward montum ca to an abrupt halt.
It had been turned into an ice sculpture.
PFFT!
The Ice Divine Blade drilled directly into Blood the First's forehead.
Blood the First shuddered violently. His hair stood on end, turning an icy blue, and a layer of frost spread across his entire body.
PFFTCH!
The frozen Blood the First trembled again and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood mixed with ice shards.
His aura beca extrely weak, and he was completely listless, like a gravely ill patient.
His blood-red eyes, filled with terror and fear, stared at Hong Yu. His face, covered in light blue frost, managed to form a stiff expression.
Blood the First lifted his head slightly, looked at Hong Yu, and let out a miserable laugh. "Y-You actually know Spiritual Power attacks? Heh heh heh... with your skills, I'm afraid even Zheng Tian wouldn't be your opponent. This ti, my loss was well-deserved... However, don't get too complacent. The next ti we et, I, Blood the First, will definitely wash away today's humiliation with your blood!"
BANG!
With a flick of his palm, a cloud of blood-red mist rose up.
When the blood-red mist dissipated, Blood the First was long gone.
Hong Yu frowned. 'Blood the First? This man's temperant is even more steady and forbearing than Zheng Tian's. If I run into him again in the future, I'll need to be extra careful!'
Musing on this, Hong Yu turned to look at Wang Fei, Beichen Huo, and the others.
Beichen Huo, Wang Fei, and the others had been dumbfounded ever since Blood the First fled, grievously injured. Now, as Hong Yu's gaze fell upon them, they all felt a chill run down their spines, a coldness that pervaded their entire bodies.
The way they looked at Hong Yu had fundantally changed.
If, a few months ago, the strength Hong Yu displayed had rely made Wang Fei feel he was troubleso, then now, Hong Yu had beco an indelible, towering shadow in her heart!
The reason Wang Fei had dared to act so unscrupulously against Beichen Feng was her confidence that Zheng Tian would definitely help her kill Hong Yu.
But now, Hong Yu was very much alive...
And even Blood the First, a man as famous as Zheng Tian, had been defeated by a single glance from him. This was enough to prove that even Zheng Tian was no match for Hong Yu.
Zheng Tian and Blood the First were both publicly acknowledged as the top geniuses in the Qin Kingdom.
If even they weren't his match, it was self-evident what level Hong Yu's strength and talent had reached.
The thought that the opponent she had been trying to kill was actually a Celestial Pride Son who could sweep through all his peers in the Qin Kingdom made it difficult for Wang Fei to breathe.
"I rember, inside the Celestial Essence Secret Realm, a few assassins claiming to be from the Blood Killing Tower tried to kill . If I'm not mistaken, the one who hired them was you, wasn't it?" Hong Yu said flatly, looking at Wang Fei.
Wang Fei's expression changed. She took two steps back, not daring to et Hong Yu's gaze. "W-What are you planning to do?"
Hong Yu cracked his neck. "What am I planning? I hate trouble more than anything, so I'm used to nipping it in the bud. I don't want to be targeted by assassins all day. So, I just need to cripple you, the employer. As long as you disappear, the Blood Killing Tower probably won't send anyone after again, right?"
"Bastard, do you know who Wang Fei is? She's the daughter of the great Grand Elder Wang Ba of the Guiyuan Sect! If you dare to touch a single hair on her head, believe it or not, Elder Wang will bring the entire Guiyuan Sect to annihilate you!"
Beichen Huo shouted fiercely.
As Beichen Ba's own younger brother, Beichen Huo had always been resentful that his brother was in charge of the Beichen Comrce Association while he himself had been sent away. Now that he finally had a chance to seize control, how could he let it go so easily?
Besides, Beichen Huo believed that no matter how strong Hong Yu was, he would never dare to oppose the Guiyuan Sect.
Unfortunately for him...
He had miscalculated this ti!
"Wang Ba, you say? Heh, if I get the chance, I'll pay that old dog a visit!"
The light smile on Hong Yu's face vanished. He snapped his head up and thrust a palm at Wang Fei. "But before that, I'm going to eliminate this venomous, black-hearted woman!"
Sharp Elental Power condensed into a Void Claw, grabbing for Wang Fei's head.
However...
Just then, a deep, powerful voice suddenly echoed from the depths of the Beichen Family estate.
"That's enough. Stop!"
