Luo Xiu's eyes glead with bone-chilling murderous intent as he gazed at Ai Kun, his brow furrowed slightly.
Ai Kun didn't struggle or resist, for he knew it would be futile. He was lifted by the neck like a dead fish, seemingly indifferent to the fact that his life was now in Luo Xiu's hands.
"Boss, surely you don't want to see their corpses… or see them humiliated, do you?" Ai Kun wheezed. "You must understand, my subordinates are all Demon Beasts—savage and crude. They don't know the first thing about showing rcy to a fair lady. So, here's the question… do you want dead, or do you want them to die in disgrace?"
CRACK!
Unexpectedly, as his words fell, a trendous force erupted from Luo Xiu's hand, cleanly snapping his neck.
Ai Kun collapsed to the ground, looking up at Luo Xiu in utter disbelief.
"You've clearly overestimated your own importance," Luo Xiu said coolly, looking down at him. "You don't even have the right to threaten . Regardless of what happens to them, I'm sending you to reunite with your family first."
With a wave of his hand, the Indestructible Divine Fla roared out. Under its scorching flas, Ai Kun let out a heart-wrenching scream. He gradually reverted to his true form as he died in excruciating pain.
His true form was a giant turtle.
"So he really was a turtle after all."
Luo Xiu kicked Ai Kun's burning corpse away, then looked toward the distant sky, a hint of worry in his eyes. He had killed Ai Kun so decisively not because he was unconcerned for the safety of Lin Shanshan and Snow Kirin, but because he had given Snow Kirin a Green Lotus Petal before he left.
Hopefully, with that petal, Shanshan and Snow Kirin can escape this danger.
At this thought, Luo Xiu's gaze hardened as he turned to the prison guards. He just wanted to finish things here quickly, rescue Luo Xian, and then rush back to Jucui State to find Lin Shanshan.
The five prison guards were on edge. Now that they knew the man before them was the Azure Emperor, they all understood that if a fight broke out, the five of them wouldn't even stand a chance. To the Azure Emperor, so-called Profound and Red Emperors were no different from ants in the Gathering Spirit Realm.
But sotis, a direct confrontation wasn't necessary. Before Luo Xiu had arrived, the five of them had set up a Slaughter Array.
"Curse Annihilation Formation, activate!" one of the guards shouted, raising his hands high as his voice bood like thunder.
Suddenly, the world was flooded with a crimson light! The land for dozens of miles around was instantly sealed by a blood-red barrier.
"It doesn't matter if you're the Azure Emperor or not," the guards declared, their voices echoing as they vanished into the Void. "Inside this Curse Annihilation Formation, there is only one fate for you—death!"
The next mont, countless blood-red sword shadows materialized in the air.
Luo Xiu glanced at them, his expression unchanged. He suddenly stepped forward, and Azure Spiritual Power radiated from him. "Luo Tian's Control over Xuanzhong. Second Form. Blazing Sun."
Instantly, countless fiery fists materialized in the space around Luo Xiu. Like a teor shower, they shot toward the blood-red sword shadows with terrifying might. Strangely, however, the next mont all the fiery fists transford into blood-red sword shadows themselves, raining down on Luo Xiu like a torrential downpour.
Seeing this, Luo Xiu's gaze sharpened.
At that mont, Hua Muyan's voice echoed in his mind, "Master, it seems this Curse Annihilation Formation can convert any Taoist Arts its target uses into these sword shadows. In other words, any technique you use within this array will be assimilated by it and turned back against you."
By then, Luo Xiu had already activated his movent technique, pushing the speed of his Thunder Path Physique to its limit. He moved like a ball of lightning, leaping between the peaks and strange rock formations at an incomprehensible speed to dodge the blood-colored sword shadows raining from the sky. Each of these sword shadows contained a bizarre aura, and even Luo Xiu dared not block them recklessly.
No wonder they're so confident. It seems I underestimated this Slaughter Array.
"Master, why don't you try 'Emperor Blood Breaks Ten Thousand Laws' and see if it can break this array?" Hua Muyan suggested.
"I can feel that the source of this Curse Annihilation Formation is so kind of blood energy," Luo Xiu replied. "If I use my Essence Blood rashly, I'm afraid it will also be assimilated. Besides, I no longer have the Blood Fiend Jade Amulet, so I can't afford to waste my Essence Blood."
A slight smile touched Luo Xiu's lips. I just wonder if this Slaughter Array can convert Divine Power.
With that thought, a wisp of Luo Xiu's Divine Sense entered the Shanhai Territory within his left eye, drawing Divine Power from the vast world inside. Divine Power was a force that Luo Xiu still couldn't fully comprehend. It was generated by the faith of all living beings in the Shanhai Territory and existed only within that space. According to Master Ping, if Luo Xiu could truly understand Divine Power, he would be a god.
But understanding it wasn't important right now. Master Ping had also said that for now, Luo Xiu could only wield Divine Power as a formidable weapon.
「Outside the Curse Annihilation Formation」
The five Prison Guards gathered on a mountain peak, staring at the blood-red barrier with complete confidence.
One of them spoke up. "This Curse Annihilation Formation is a powerful killing move created by the great Emperor of Calamity Extermination. Over the years, it has absorbed the blood energy of countless prisoners here. Its power must be so imnse that not even the Azure Emperor could withstand it."
Another guard laughed. "It seems we can take care of this kid, this supposed reincarnation of the Azure Emperor, without His Majesty having to intervene personally."
BOOM!
But just then, the blood-red barrier suddenly shattered, disintegrating into fragnts of Spirit Light that rained down like pieces of a broken mirror.
Stepping upon a Green Lotus, Luo Xiu crossed the void in a single stride, appearing directly in front of the five Prison Guards.
"Let's see if you can handle my slaps."
Seeing Luo Xiu completely unhard, having even broken the Curse Annihilation Formation, the five Prison Guards were visibly shaken with disbelief. They didn't dare hesitate, imdiately scattering to flee in different directions.
Luo Xiu remained where he was. With a casual wave of his hand in the air, five Green Lotuses slamd into the five Prison Guards, forcing them back to their original spot, leaving them battered and bloodied.
A mont later, Luo Xiu looked down at the five corpses at his feet. He waved his hand, and the Indestructible Divine Fla roared out, incinerating them.
Then, Luo Xiu looked up at the sky and spoke into the air, "The dogs you raised have all gone to see King Yan. Now it's your turn to co out and do the biting yourself."
As his voice fell, an azure light filled the sky. A vast, azure screen of light erged, tightly encircling the land for a hundred miles. Simultaneously, a gigantic Array appeared in the sky. From it sprouted a tree root as large as a Giant Python, which then transford into a human figure.
Luo Xiu watched the figure and asked, "Another Creation Reincarnation Formation?"
Luo Hao trod upon the air, walking unhurriedly toward Luo Xiu.
"Tian'er, long ti no see. You've changed so much."
"…"
