We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

"Old Feng!!!"

In the distance, Zhu Jiuyou and the others who were fleeing heard the commotion and couldn't help but turn around to look.

When they saw Elder Feng self-destruct, everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Although Feng Lao was injured, he was still quite powerful, even though he was also a cultivator from the Immortal Realm.

Unexpectedly, after encountering this Asura, he was forced to choose self-destruction.

While there was certainly a reason to protect them, this self-destruction sent a chill down everyone's spine.

"Is that guy dead?"

Zhu Jiuyou wasn't particularly saddened, and he was quite surprised by Elder Feng's self-destruction, but he was more worried about whether the Third Prince had died in the explosion.

No one answered. The power of Elder Feng's self-destruction was too great, enough to block their senses.

They could only see with their eyes, but the area ahead was filled with elemental energy and dust, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

"He's probably dead," someone replied uncertainly.

At this moment, one of the guards looked at Zhu Jiuyou and said, "Young Master, no matter what the final outcome is, let's leave this place as soon as possible."

If he dies, then all will be well.

However, the commotion here is too great, and the Heavenly Demon will discover it sooner or later, so it is not advisable to stay here for long.

If they are not dead, they should take this opportunity to leave.

Otherwise, once the other party realizes what's happening, they won't be able to leave even if they want to.

Zhu Jiuyou had also thought of this. He pursed his lips and rejected the other party's suggestion: "No, let's wait here for a while. I want to see whether he is dead or alive!"

His eyes gleamed; he had other plans.

On the contrary, he hoped that the Third Prince was not dead, but only seriously injured. In that case, he would kill the immortal!
Upon hearing this, the guard opened his mouth as if to speak, but hesitated and ultimately gave up.

Time passed slowly, the dust dissipated, the primordial energy dissipated, and the perception of the primordial spirit was finally able to penetrate it.

As they expected, the hurricane no longer carried the scent of the old wind.

Or rather, his presence was everywhere, dissipating at an astonishing speed with the wind.

"Young master, something's wrong! That guy is still alive!"

Just then, a guard exclaimed in shock.

Despite the self-destruction of a powerful being from the Immortal Realm, the Third Prince was still alive.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiuyou remained calm and composed, saying, "He's not dead, but he's close to it."

He also sensed the other's presence, and perceived it even more clearly.

The Third Prince did not die, but he was seriously injured and his aura was weak. It seemed that his strength had regressed to the level of someone who was not even at the Divine Power Realm.

"Sir, you..."

Everyone sensed the killing intent in Zhu Jiuyou's words and looked at him in surprise.

Zhu Jiuyou did not deny it, but instead stepped forward and flew ahead.

Upon seeing this scene, they immediately understood Zhu Jiuyou's intentions; he clearly wanted to slaughter the immortals!
The thought that popped into my head sent chills down my spine, yet also made my blood boil.

Slaughtering a Celestial Realm expert with the power of a Divine Realm cultivator is a rare occurrence throughout history. If Zhu Jiuyou truly achieves this, while he may not be guaranteed to become a Martial Immortal in the future, he is at least 90% certain.

Because after the massacre, his perspective completely changed, he became more determined in his martial arts, and no longer feared immortals.

They were naturally unaware that, according to ancient records of the Zhu family imperial family, there had been members of the Zhu family who had entered the Martial Immortal realm through this method.

His reason for not leaving this time is precisely this.

It may seem like he's slaying immortals, but in reality, it's for a better breakthrough in the future.

Moreover, he knew in his heart that his talent was indeed not bad, but to step into the realm of Martial Immortal, he needed to accumulate knowledge and skills over time.

This process takes a very long time, so long that it may take thousands of years.

But with the Heavenly Demons invading right now, there's no time to waste; the sooner we break through, the better.

This method was certainly dangerous, but he couldn't care less about that now.

'Thanks to Elder Feng for creating this perfect opportunity for me, severely injuring him; otherwise, why would I have taken such a risk!'

Zhu Jiuyou thought to himself, and soon arrived in the storm.

As soon as he entered, the injured Third Prince noticed him and realized his intentions.

'A mere cultivator at the Divine Power Realm thinks he can kill me? That's utterly delusional!'

He sneered, then leaped away and flew out of the storm.

It wasn't that he was planning to escape, but rather that the power of the old man in the storm hadn't disappeared and was suppressing him.

"Go away!"

Zhu Jiuyou, unaware of the Third Prince's thoughts, assumed he wanted to run away, which only strengthened his resolve.

We must not let him get away with this!

So he decisively chose to give chase, immediately increasing his speed to its maximum.

But just then, he suddenly realized that the other party was deliberately slowing down and finally stopped on a mountaintop.

'He stopped!'

The Third Prince's sudden stop startled Zhu Jiuyou. Fearing a trap, he deliberately slowed down to observe his surroundings.

"Stop looking, there are only the two of us here!"

His primordial spirit scanned the area and, as the other party had said, there were only two people there.

Zhu Jiuyou then landed with relief and came to stand in front of the Third Prince, examining the Asura before him.

The other person was ugly, and now that they are injured, they are even more so.

However, there was no trace of fear on his face; instead, he stared at him with a hint of provocation.

"The Zhu family? I didn't expect them to come here. It seems that the Zhu royal family has been wiped out by the other Asuras."

The Third Prince recognized Zhu Jiuyou's identity and was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the other party would travel so far to come to the territory of Shengyuan City.

It seems they intend to cross this place and head to the human warriors' stronghold to join them.

"Boy, it won't be that easy for you to get through here. I see you're quite strong, and with a Martial Immortal protecting you, you must be a direct descendant of the Zhu family's royal family. In my opinion, how about we make a deal?"

"What kind of deal?" Zhu Jiuyou raised an eyebrow.

"I'll let you pass through here, but you have to join us and become our inside man. If you agree, I can even help you break through to the Martial Immortal realm. What do you think of this deal?" The Third Prince revealed his purpose.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Jiuyou sneered after hearing this: "Haha, old man, do you really think I can't see that you're at your last gasp? You're just trying to buy time. If I want to break through to the Martial Immortal Realm, I have my own methods. I don't need your help. Besides, I can still leave this place by killing you. Now, prepare to die!"

He thought the Third Prince was going to make some kind of deal with him, but it turned out to be a deal that treated him like a fool.

He didn't bother with words and took action directly.

Although Zhu Jiuyou discovered him, the Third Prince did not show any signs of panic.

He laughed loudly, "You're right, but unfortunately, I still managed to buy time and achieve my goal. Kid, if you want to kill a King-level Asura, wait until you've cultivated for a thousand years or more. Now, it's you who deserves to die!"

"what?!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Zhu Jiuyou was startled.

The Third Prince, who had been looking dejected, suddenly unleashed a powerful force, as if he had not been injured at all.

Instantly, he felt himself enveloped by this energy, and the surrounding void was also sealed off.

Despite struggling with all its might, it could not be shaken.

"You...you're faking it?"

Zhu Jiuyou asked in a deep voice. By this point, he knew perfectly well that he had been tricked.

"Hmph, you'll never know the wonders of the fairyland until you've been there!"

He was indeed injured, but he recovered temporarily with the help of a secret technique; otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted his breath talking nonsense with Zhu Jiuyou.

This secret method is extremely harmful to the body and should not be used lightly unless it is a matter of life and death.

It is the secret law of their Asura clan, specifically used to enhance combat power and fight to the death.

If he hadn't been so badly injured, he wouldn't have needed to use his powers against a martial artist like Zhu Jiuyou at the Divine Power Realm.

But right now, he couldn't care less about that, otherwise, the other party might really have succeeded today.

After all, even he didn't expect that this group of people would not leave in the end, but instead deliberately wait for him in the same spot.

"Run!" Upon hearing the Third Prince's words, Zhu Jiuyou's expression changed drastically, and his blood, energy, and spirit power rapidly ignited.

A powerful surge of energy erupted and spread throughout his body.

"break!"

Zhu Jiuyou roared, channeling all his power into his fist and unleashing a powerful punch.

The savage fist seemed capable of tearing apart space and time. The moment it collided with the Third Prince's Asura power, the entire world trembled.

Countless energies poured out during the violent impact, sweeping in all directions, and the mountain below the two was impacted.

Under the ravages of this energy, it was instantly reduced to rubble.

Zhu Jiuyou's muscles twitched wildly, and his heart sank as the force of his punch surged forth, a trace of despair creeping up within him.

'hateful! ’

He cursed inwardly, "Is the gap between a Martial Immortal and a Divine Power Realm really that big?"

Despite using all his strength at all costs, he still couldn't break through the opponent's blockade!

Instead, they were trapped here.

Like a trapped animal.

He could clearly sense that the opponent's strength was not strong, but he just couldn't break through it.

This feeling made him feel incredibly frustrated.

'It's broken!'

Zhu Jiuyou gritted his teeth, burning his blood, vital energy, and spiritual power, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Finally, it seemed as if his shout was heard.

The prison formed by the power of Asura was torn open by his power, and he was overjoyed when he saw the opening.

With renewed force, it was torn apart.

When he reached his limit, he leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of rainbow light, and escaped.

"Ok?"

The Third Prince was taken aback when he realized that Zhu Jiuyou had actually escaped, but he quickly gave chase.

far away.

Since Zhu Jiuyou started chasing the Third Prince, the guards have also been busy following him.

They didn't follow for long before they realized the two had disappeared, so they had to search for them everywhere.

"It's the young master!"

Not long after they started searching, a guard suddenly spotted Zhu Jiuyou flying over from not far away and shouted, attracting everyone's attention.

Zhu Jiuyou noticed them too and quickly replied, "Quick, stop him for me!"

"That's... an Asura!"

"He's still alive?"

"How can it be!"

The two walked quickly, one in front of the other. The guards soon spotted the Third Prince behind Zhu Jiuyou and were shocked.

"Go together!"

At this moment, a guard gritted his teeth and led everyone to rush forward, preparing to stop the Third Prince.

"court death!"

Seeing that these guards were courting death, the Third Prince snorted coldly and showed no mercy when he attacked.

Every move he makes is a deadly strike.

In no time at all, he had dealt with the guards.

However, Zhu Jiuyou took advantage of the brief moment he made his move to escape.

"Where to run!"

Fortunately, he caught the other party's scent and gave chase.

The wind has died.

The guard is dead.

Now only Zhu Jiuyou remains.

He ran for his life, running aimlessly, not even knowing where he was going.

All he knew was that the Third Prince behind him seemed to be getting closer and closer.

The aftereffects of burning his vital energy were taking effect, and he felt his strength draining away at an alarming rate.

Is someone ahead?

But at this moment, he dared not linger. Suddenly, he sensed a hidden aura ahead.

"Wait, it might not be a Heavenly Demon."

He initially thought it was a Heavenly Demon, but then he realized that it was impossible for a Heavenly Demon to still be in Shengyuan City at this time.

Moreover, this aura is completely different from that of the Heavenly Demon.

If it's not a demon, then it's probably a human warrior.

Thinking of this, he was overjoyed and immediately changed direction, rushing towards the location of that aura.

"Halt! Who are you?"

Before long, he arrived at a ruin that looked like the headquarters of a sect.

Before he could even enter, a voice rang out, blocking his path.

Zhu Jiuyou looked in the direction of the voice and realized that the person who spoke was actually a knife.

'Divine powers and weapons?'

He was slightly startled that there were supernatural weapons here, but he was overjoyed. There were supernatural weapons guarding this place, so what about the people inside?
"Senior, I am Zhu Jiuyou of the Central Sacred Court, a member of the Zhu family's royal family. I have mistakenly entered this place, please forgive me. I was forced to do this because I was being chased by a Heavenly Demon. Please help me eliminate the Heavenly Demon!" Zhu Jiuyou replied.

"A Heavenly Demon? Or a King-level Heavenly Demon?" Su Chen, hidden in the shadows, sensed the Third Prince's approach.

He did not appear in person, but spoke to Zhu Jiuyou in the form of the Heaven-Slaying Blade.

After confirming that the other party was not lying, Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "You may step aside, I will handle this myself!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiuyou quickly stood aside, waiting quietly while observing Su Chen.

Su Chen didn't pay attention and instead looked ahead.

The Third Prince appeared quickly. Before he could even feel happy to see Zhu Jiuyou, he saw Su Chen, who had transformed into the Heaven-Severing Blade.

Suddenly stunned.

There are even divine weapons here?!
"Wait, it's not just a divine weapon, there's something else going on inside!"

A strange power enveloped Su Chen from behind, immediately attracting the attention of the Third Prince.

The presence of divine soldiers guarding this place means there are people inside.

Moreover, the opponent's strength is probably... that of a Martial Immortal!

This terrified him. Could this person be the murderer who killed Ayana?
Once the thought popped into my head, I couldn't stop it.

A sense of fear quickly spread throughout my body.

If the other party can kill Ayana, doesn't that mean they can also kill him?

"Who are you?"

That being said, he did not retreat immediately, but wanted to scout out the situation.

Perhaps my guess is wrong.

After all, having a divine weapon guarding them means that something might have happened to the other party.

In that case, it's truly unknown who would win or lose in a fight.

Thinking of this, his mind immediately became active.

But the next moment, Su Chen's words sent chills down his spine: "You're strange. You're clearly seriously injured, yet you still possess such strength!" (End of Chapter)
