Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

"All Disciples of the Demon Abyss, hear my command! Your next training mission is to capture and kill Ye Wushuang!"

"Kill him, and you will be rewarded with a Low-Grade Demon Soldier!"

"Capture him and bring him back to the Sect, and you will be rewarded with a Middle-Grade Demon Soldier and permitted to enter the Demon Vein for a month of Cultivation!"

The thunderous proclamations reverberated for a thousand li around the Demon Abyss.

High in the sky, a Spiritual Spring Powerhouse waved a hand. Vast True Essence shot into the firmament, forming a ripple hundreds of feet wide. An image of a man in white robes appeared within it, clearly visible for a thousand li in all directions!

The figure in white was none other than Ye Wushuang!

On a mountain ridge, Ye Wushuang noticed the scene in the sky. His brow furrowed, his expression turning grave.

’My sister and the others should be gone by now.’ Gazing at the sky, Ye Wushuang murmured to himself. He quickly looked away and dashed down the mountain. Once he crossed this ridge, he would be outside the Demon Abyss’s territory.

However.

When he entered the Ancient Forest, he was struck by the strange, deathly silence of his surroundings.

"Suppress!"

The moment he stopped, a man with blood-red hair appeared above the dense woods, letting out a cold cry.

Suddenly, an immense pressure like a great mountain slammed down on Ye Wushuang’s shoulders, causing his body to lurch.

He looked up to see a massive Blood-Colored Seal, like a star shimmering with bloody light, descending from the void. It sent out ring after ring of crimson light, blanketing an area several li wide.

The immense suppressive force caused the very air to crackle and explode like a string of firecrackers.

’An ambush!’

Ye Wushuang’s heart sank. Without a moment’s hesitation, he punched toward the sky. "Barbaric Tyrant Dragon Fist!"

A wild, tyrannical, and invincible aura erupted from his body. His fist blazed with golden light as the phantom of a Golden Tyrant Dragon shot out. Its body coiled as it soared into the firmament, crashing into the Blood-Colored Seal.

BOOM!

The Golden Tyrant Dragon slammed into the Blood-Colored Seal, making it tremble and halt in mid-air.

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Wushuang used Floating Light and Shadow to retreat in a flash.

BOOM!

After pausing for half a breath, the Blood-Colored Seal smashed into the ground. The earth quaked and the Ancient Wood in its path disintegrated into dust, flying up into the sky and leaving a vacuum in its wake.

The massive commotion immediately attracted nearby Demon Abyss Disciples. In an instant, figures began to swarm in from all directions, surrounding him.

"Ye Wushuang, you can’t escape! Surrender now!" The countless Disciples of the Demon Abyss swarmed Ye Wushuang, shouting coldly as they launched a frenzied assault.

’Surrender?’

Ye Wushuang let out a cold smile. ’Only a coward would do that, and I am no coward!’

"Kill!"

With a single word, he instantly drew his Dragon Blood Battle Saber. It transformed into a bloody streak of light as he charged forward.

As his figure flickered, crimson saber light flashed out. One slash, one kill. Blood sprayed through the air.

The terrifying, murderous Saber Intent made the hearts of the Demon Abyss Disciples tremble, a sliver of fear taking root within them.

However, that fear was quickly replaced by greed. The reward for killing Ye Wushuang was a Low-Grade Demon Soldier—a temptation sufficient to drive them into a frenzy.

Thinking of the reward, their attacks grew even more ferocious as they swore to execute Ye Wushuang.

’If they want to kill me, then I will kill them!’

Ye Wushuang showed no mercy. Especially when facing a pack of creatures worse than beasts, his killing intent burned even brighter.

"His life is mine! All of you, back off!"

At the same time, a thunderous roar split the air, so loud it made everyone’s ears ring and their heads spin. A burly, savage figure wielding a black Demon Axe descended from the sky.

"Get lost! Scram! Ye Wushuang’s life is mine!" he bellowed with extreme arrogance, berating the other Demon Abyss Disciples.

Hearing his voice, the hearts of the Demon Abyss Disciples jolted, and they retreated unwillingly. This burly man was Chi Ba, a True Essence Fifth Layer super genius from the Demon Abyss. Since he had laid claim to Ye Wushuang’s life, they dared not contend for it.

"Chi Ba, I saw him first. Since when did his life become yours?"

The blood-haired man in the sky also gave a cold snort. With the Blood-Colored Seal hovering above his head, he appeared on the other side of Ye Wushuang, his eyes locked on him.

"Xie Yun, you want to fight me for him?" A cold light flashed in Chi Ba’s eyes.

"I discovered him first. Naturally, his life is mine to take," Xie Yun replied, unafraid of Chi Ba. He, too, was a super genius.

"In that case, his life belongs to whoever kills him first!" Chi Ba said coldly, taking a step back.

"Fine," Xie Yun responded coolly.

In their eyes, it was as if Ye Wushuang were merely prey.

They had already claimed Ye Wushuang’s life.

In their minds, Ye Wushuang’s death was a certainty. He was powerless to resist.

Kill!

The moment the words left his mouth, Chi Ba moved, beating Xie Yun to the punch. His Demon Axe swung out, the blade like a black crescent moon tearing through the air as it chopped down at Ye Wushuang’s back, threatening to cleave him in two.

"Do you really think I’m helpless?" Ye Wushuang sneered. His Dragon Blood Battle Saber vibrated, then swung upward in a horizontal arc to meet the Demon Axe.

"You’re overestimating yourself!" Chi Ba snorted in disdain. With a flick of his wrist, he put even more force into the Demon Axe’s descent. It collided with the Dragon Blood Battle Saber, sending out a shower of brilliant sparks.

FZZT! FZZT! FZZT!

The sparks shot out with astonishing force, punching holes through the very air as if it were a sieve.

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed and he shot backward in retreat.

"With just that much strength, you dare to act so presumptuously in the Demon Abyss? Looks like you’re nothing but a lucky piece of trash!"

"But in front of me, Chi Ba, your luck has run out. I will have your head."

Seeing Ye Wushuang retreat, Chi Ba mocked him with disdain. He had tested Ye Wushuang’s strength and found it wanting. ’Just trash.’

Full of contempt, he raised his Demon Axe and charged at Ye Wushuang. Boundless energy poured into the axe, making its Demon Patterns blaze with light as he chopped down once more, a terrifying aura locking Ye Wushuang in place.

Empowering his Dragon Blood Battle Saber with his Invincible Saber Intent, Ye Wushuang also unleashed a streak of bloody saber light to meet the attack.

CLANG!

The incomparably tyrannical saber light slammed brutally against the Demon Axe, producing a terrifying rebound force that sent both the axe and Chi Ba flying backward.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Ye Wushuang strode through the air, slashing down again and again. A sky-blotting torrent of crimson saber light descended.

Chi Ba’s expression changed, and he hastily retreated.

"Weren’t you going to take my head? Why are you running? Are you scared, you piece of trash?" Ye Wushuang gave chase, throwing Chi Ba’s words right back at him. Each word was like a sharp needle stabbing into Chi Ba’s heart, making his face turn grim.

"You can’t even handle one piece of trash? Chi Ba, what right do you have to compete with me?" Xie Yun jeered. With the Blood-Colored Seal above his head, he charged at Ye Wushuang, the seal shooting out deadly beams of light.

Hearing Xie Yun’s mockery, Chi Ba flew into a humiliated rage, and his killing intent toward Ye Wushuang surged. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Ye Wushuang, if I, Chi Ba, don’t break all four of your limbs and flay the flesh from your bones today, I’ll kill myself on the spot!" Chi Ba roared viciously, charging forward with his Demon Axe.

The distant Demon Abyss Disciples watched, certain Ye Wushuang was doomed now that he was besieged by two super geniuses. ’Damn him! He deserves to die!’

Unable to claim the reward for themselves, they could only curse him in their hearts to die a horrible death.

"So what if there are two of you? You think I’m afraid?" Watching the two super geniuses attack, Ye Wushuang’s own Battle Intent surged.
