CHAPTER 1142: CHAPTER 1116: FIERCE BATTLE WITH THE BLOOD DEMON

"Then what should we do? Are we really just going to swallow this grievance submissively this time?"

"If this matter of swallowing grievances ends here, then we might consider it, but I’m afraid that while we might be willing to let it go, Tangyu won’t."

"Hmph, Tangyu won’t let go? If he dares to invade our Blood Demon Sect, we’ll kill him. I simply don’t believe that Tangyu alone can be so formidable."

The Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect remained seated with a sullen face, his eyes flashing with a terrible sharpness. It was uncertain what he was contemplating at this moment. Suddenly, his brow slightly furrowed, as he felt a terrifying power transmitted from outside, soon followed by a rumbling ’boom’ sound that was extremely frightening. Immediately, chaotic sounds came from outside.

The faces of the five Blood Demon cultivators also changed dramatically: "This isn’t good, someone is invading our Blood Demon Sect, is it really Tangyu coming to attack us? Bold, truly bold, seeking death."

"Hmph, let’s go!" Blood Demon also snorted angrily, charging ahead, followed immediately by the other four Golden Core Realm cultivators. The group of five swiftly made their way outside. At this moment, the Blood Demon Sect was in chaos due to such an assault, with many casualties. A mountainside had been forcibly leveled, and figures dashed forward, surrounding them.

The instigator of all this chaos was indeed Tangyu. After concluding matters with the Yanshan Sect, he immediately advanced on the Blood Demon Sect. Thus, he arrived at the sect gate of the Blood Demon Sect.

The Blood Demon Sect is strong, but in reality, it lacks depth; it has only been established for a few decades. It gained its current reputation entirely due to the formidable reputations of Blood Demon and Yao Xue, two powerful experts. Although the Blood Demon Sect doesn’t have a large number of disciples, many joined driven by its fame. However, the abundance of Golden Core Realm experts is what ensures the Sect’s powerful status.

Moreover, the Blood Demon Sect has always acted with a vicious and ruthless style, which is why it has gained such a notorious reputation in such a short time.

Considerations like depth and numbers are relatively superficial; the true strength of a force primarily lies in the capability of its genuine experts. Like if a third-tier force produces a Zifu Great Power, it can compete with a second-tier force. This is similar to Shengfeng City; the City’s reputation is immense solely due to the City Lord being a Zifu Great Power, making even second-tier powers like Liang Kingdom reluctant to provoke it.

The five Golden Core Realm members of the Blood Demon Sect were staring intently at Tangyu, confirming with certainty that it was indeed Tangyu who dared to attack their sect.

A Golden Core Realm cultivator from the Blood Demon Sect, with a fierce and sinister expression, pointed at Tangyu and roared angrily: "Tangyu, you brat, you’ve got guts to dare come to our Blood Demon Sect. You’re asking for death. Do you think being a disciple of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect makes us afraid to kill you?"

Tangyu sneered, lifting the Yuguang Sword in his hand, mocking: "You want to kill me, but does your Blood Demon Sect have the strength to do so? Your Yao Xue said the same to me, and what was the result? He died by my sword. I believe that anyone who speaks like this will perish by my sword. So, you’re next."

Tangyu’s words left the Golden Core Realm cultivator furious but made him choke on his retort. Despite his decades-long status as a renowned Golden Core cultivator, today he was being reprimanded by a youth as if scolded directly, leaving him humiliated. But for now, he dare not act rashly, knowing that Yao Xue and others had fallen at the hands of this youngster.

Blood Demon looked at Tangyu with a grim face and said: "You’ve killed over a hundred of our skilled hands, and today you dare to attack our mountain gate, showing complete disregard for our Blood Demon Sect and me, Blood Demon. Kid, don’t be too arrogant, or you won’t have a good ending."

Tangyu smirked, tauntingly: "Indeed, I completely agree with your words; one shouldn’t be too arrogant. So, your Blood Demon Sect had better show some restraint. Your deeds have always been high-profile and ruthless, thus a grim fate is inevitable for you. I’m not here for idle chat. Your Blood Demon Sect dared to destroy my Yanshan Sect, dared to touch Tangyu’s reverse scale, so you’re doomed. I see no need for your Blood Demon Sect to exist anymore, thus it’s time for it to perish."

Tangyu’s statement was casual yet the strongest form of provocation, making it seem careless.

Upon hearing such words, the crowd of Blood Demon Sect were furious.

Blood Demon sneered mockingly: "You dare speak to me, Blood Demon, like this? You’re the first. But also the last. Since you’ve come to seek death today, I, Blood Demon, shall oblige."

The Blood Demon was thoroughly enraged, and as he moved, the other four Golden Cores instinctively retreated, leaving the battlefield to the Blood Demon. With a wave of the hand, these four Golden Cores made the other disciples retreat to a distance as well. At this moment, only the Blood Demon and Tangyu remained on the battlefield.

The Blood Demon moved his hand, and a very peculiar and large sword appeared. This sword was surprisingly covered in fresh blood, having been nourished by blood. A sword that can devour blood is indeed a Demon Sword. As the sword emerged, the sinister energy emanating from it made Tangyu’s eyebrows furrow slightly. The power of this sword made Tangyu feel as if it could rival a Daoist Artifact, and if it were truly a Daoist Artifact, the power would reach an exceedingly terrifying level.

However, it was only in terms of aura that it seemed that way; the Demon Sword in the Blood Demon’s hand should just be a top-grade Spiritual Artifact.

Holding the Demon Sword, the Blood Demon at this moment also became even more eerie and cold, like a demon emerging from Hell. The sky-reaching ominous energy surged forth, enveloping everything, towering over heaven and earth, covering this entire realm.

Facing the Blood Demon, Tangyu dared not be careless, as after all, this was a formidable Golden Core Realm Eighth Layer cultivator. Yet, Tangyu had a bit of heroic confidence. The bold aura within him surged forth. At this moment, the fighting spirit within Tangyu was burning fiercely. He indeed fervently desired a grand battle with such a strong adversary as a means to validate his own strength.

"Kill!" Without another word, Tangyu charged forward, immediately launching the Yin Yang Style, utilizing the full power of Divine Demon Body Refinement along with the Second Transformation of Undying Nine Transformations. With this physical power, combined with Tangyu’s mighty Golden Core strength, as he struck with his sword, a thousand-foot Yin Yang beam sliced forth, severing heaven and earth, with the sun and moon losing their brilliance.

The Blood Demon wielded the Demon Sword, killing with demonic energy soaring to the sky. As he swung his Demon Sword, it was like a Blood Demon incarnate, with overwhelming red light erupting like a raging blood sea, sweeping across the heavens, completely enveloping everything within a thousand-foot radius, immersing it entirely. And this blood aura was extremely terrifying; if impacted, anything below the Golden Core Realm would surely be slaughtered directly.

The Blood Demon was indeed worthy of being a Golden Core Eighth Layer cultivator; his strength was truly daunting. As soon as the battle started, Tangyu felt a strong pressure. The Blood Demon was far beyond what Yao Xue could compare to. This very pressure even further ignited Tangyu’s fighting spirit. A battle with such a powerful opponent was indeed interesting.

The two fought fiercely in the air, with a display of immense power, while the spectators outside widened their eyes, greatly startled.

"Blocked it!" Tangyu’s eyebrows knitted as his Yin Yang Sword was deflected by the Blood Demon. This strike was completely ineffective against the Blood Demon. However, this was within Tangyu’s expectations. If the Blood Demon couldn’t even block this strike, he wouldn’t be worthy of being called a strong adversary.

The Blood Demon sneered coldly, "Humph, Tangyu, your strength is quite impressive, indeed. The power of this sword is considerable, but—trying to use such might against me, the Blood Demon, is mere wishful thinking. It’s extraordinary for someone of your age to possess such strength; truly a rare occurrence. If you hadn’t come to challenge my Blood Demon Sect today, I might not have sought trouble with you. But—since you insist on attacking my Blood Demon Sect, I cannot spare you."

"Even if you really had some connection with the Sect Master Immortal of Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, today I must kill you here, leaving no future threat."

In truth, the Blood Demon was aware deep down that he had no choice today; he had to kill Tangyu. If Tangyu were left alive, as his abilities matured, the Blood Demon Sect would be doomed. Although there might be a bit of time to buffer, that wasn’t what the Blood Demon wanted.

Therefore, today, he might as well go all out, directly killing Tangyu here; if the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect truly pursued this, then it would be dealt with later. The Blood Demon was gambling, betting on the risk. If he lost, and truly angered the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, then so be it. If the Blood Demon Sect fell at the hands of Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, there would be nothing to say. But if it fell at the hands of Tangyu, then even in death, the Blood Demon would leave a lasting mark of shame.

There was no retreat, only the path of killing remained. Thus, today the Blood Demon was ready for a fight to the death.

Tangyu smirked and said, "Blood Demon, you are quite the character, why allow yourself to be manipulated by Liang King’s words? Had you not agreed to Liang King to oppose the Yanshan Sect, I, Tangyu, certainly wouldn’t go after your Blood Demon Sect. Blame your greed; what did Liang King offer you? Is it worth serving him so loyally?"

The Blood Demon sneered coldly, "Tangyu, save your breath. Your focus shouldn’t be on me but on yourself. You should consider if you have any last words to leave. If you do, you’d better say them now, as you won’t have the chance later."

Tangyu chuckled lightly, "You should keep that thought for yourself, though I doubt you have any last words to say. So, just die peacefully, as no one will sympathize with you." Saying this, Tangyu charged forward once more, wielding the Pangu Axe, launching the first style of Pangu’s Nine Style, simultaneously utilizing the Yuguang Shield and power to assist.
