Chapter 242

The speed of the Six Realms demon tribe was astonishingly fast.

In almost an instant, its silhouette tore through the air and lunged at Lu Xun.

Claws glowing with an eerie green demonic light slashed five spatial rifts, aiming straight for Lu Xun's throat.

But just as the claw tip was about to touch the skin, the air suddenly burst with blinding sparks.

The invisible spatial shield and protective true qi perfectly merged, forcibly blocking this deadly strike.

"Courting death!"

The Six Realms demon tribe roared, erupting demonic power, green flames between its claws surging wildly in an attempt to force a breakthrough.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

At that moment, dozens of sword lights suddenly attacked from all directions.

The Chasing Moon Sword transformed into a silver lightning bolt, weaving a deadly sword net around the demon tribe.

"Clang clang clang!"

Metallic collision sounds rang out in a continuous chain.

The Six Realms demon tribe was forced to abandon its attack, its twin claws weaving phantom images to block the flying swords and sword qi.

Each flying sword contained enough power to pierce mountains and valleys.

Lu Xun's sword qi was further mixed with annihilation-level sword intent.

Where those ink-black sword qi passed, even space showed fine cracks.

Under Lu Xun's storm-like onslaught, the Six Realms demon tribe was forced into frantic disarray.

He could not cope with it anymore.

With a piercing shriek, its form suddenly swelled and deformed, its human exterior peeling away like pottery shards.

Seeing that it could not defeat Lu Xun, it abandoned its human guise and reverted to its true form.

Its sky-covering wings suddenly unfurled,

its true form was a peng demon as large as a small mountain.

The peng demon's feathers possessed astonishing defensive power, combined with demon king-level demonic energy, blocking all of Lu Xun's flying swords.

While blocking, its wings continuously flapped, stirring up one spatial storm after another.

Even more lethal were the feathers shot out like poisoned javelins, each emitting a piercing whistling as they struck at Lu Xun's vital points.

"Quick battle, quick decision."

Lu Xun glanced at Yao Xing, then directly invoked Barbara's incantation.

After forcing the Six Realms demon tribe to reveal its true form, he no longer intended to drag things out.

The commotion of this battle might have already alerted the demon tribe's experts.

Barbara knew the demon tribe well; killing them while they were in human or semi-human form was useless.

One must wait until their demon tribe true form is forced out before they can be slain.

Now, its true form has been forced out by Lu Xun.

As soon as the incantation was spoken, this Six Realms demon tribe was instantly immobilized.

Lu Xun's attack also erupted at that very moment.

To ensure a one-hit kill, Lu Xun went all out.

Annihilation-level sword intent, chaotic power, flying swords, holy weapons, and even forbidden-curse-level magic.

Finally, Lu Xun added a strike of the God's Left Hand.

Lu Xun chose to strengthen his left hand so as to facilitate his right hand gripping the sword.

Various attacks instantly enveloped the Six Realms demon tribe.

"Boom~"

The peng demon was submerged by Lu Xun's attack.

At that instant, his incantation was dispelled.

But it was far too late.

Lu Xun's annihilation-level sword intent led the charge.

Over a hundred strands of sword qi struck almost simultaneously, landing on the peng demon's body.

Although the peng demon's feather defense was astonishing, it could not withstand the onslaught of over a hundred sword qi.

One or two strands of sword qi, its feathers could indeed block.

Among the demon tribe, the peng demon's greatest pride was its feather defense.

But with so many sword qi coming at once, the peng demon's feathers could not hold up and were directly sliced apart.

"Roar!"

The peng demon trembled its demonic power, seeking to turn its flesh and blood into bronze walls and iron barriers.

But what it faced was Lu Xun's sword qi.

After beginning to surpass limits in the Fourth Realm, Lu Xun's true qi itself was already no less than that of the Sixth Realm.

In terms of true intent, it far surpassed ordinary Sixth Realm beings.

For the peng demon to rely on demonic power to block Lu Xun's sword qi was nearly impossible.

Time was too short, and he did not have enough time to employ more demon tribe secret arts.

The sword qi surged forward like splitting bamboo, cutting in.

Immediately following were Lu Xun's flying swords.

Then came the forbidden-curse magic.

Among these, the forbidden-curse magic posed the smallest threat to the peng demon.

Magic is generally large‑scale attacks, and the roc demon happens to be unafraid of such.

When his feathers close together, ordinary forbidden‑spell magic striking his body won't even cause a single feather to fall.

Therefore, at the ancient road junctions, Western mages actually fear encountering demons more than Eastern cultivators do.

Many demons have defensive power even more exaggerated than that of the demon race.

The last to arrive was Lu Xun's Divine Left Hand.

"Boom!"

The Divine Left Hand struck the roc demon.

Then one saw the huge roc demon's body shudder, and it turned into countless fragments.

As a Six‑Realm roc demon with a formidable demonic body, even if his body were sliced in half, he would not die.

But after being split open, his demonic power could not be mobilized in a short time, and a single strike from the Divine Left Hand was more than he could withstand.

His internal organs were directly shattered.

Immediately afterward, Southern Ming Separation Fire appeared and burned the roc demon to ashes.

Southern Ming Separation Fire restrains all yin and evil things; it also has considerable restraint against demons, and for it, demon flesh and demonic power are likewise great tonics.

Thus this Six‑Realm roc demon was slain by Lu Xun with thunderous means.

This is also the first Six‑Realm demon that Lu Xun has killed alone!

"Go!"

After killing the Six‑Realm roc demon, Lu Xun collected the Southern Ming Separation Fire, took out the Star‑Sea Flying Vessel, and swiftly fled Yao Xing.

At the same time, several powerful auras burst forth from Yao Xing and gave chase.

These are powerful beings among the demons.

"Fast!"

Lu Xun activated a seventh‑grade talisman of escape, accelerating the Star‑Sea Flying Vessel.

The Star‑Sea Flying Vessel's speed is actually not slow, and it can be used continuously with acceleration.

However, in terms of burst speed over a short period, it cannot match talismans of sixth grade and above.

"They came so quickly."

Although it was already fast enough, the powerful beings of Yao Xing arrived even faster.

"Great Spatial Shift!"

Lu Xun also employed spatial displacement.

In the empty void, the distance of spatial displacement likewise increased greatly.

His speed increased further.

"It can be used now!"

Finally, the Heavenly Dao Talisman can be used.

Lu Xun, without a word, used the Heavenly Dao Talisman.

A ten‑thousand‑meter‑long miniature rainbow bridge appeared, extending into the distance.

Lu Xun stowed the flying vessel and leapt straight onto it.

Rosy light appeared, wrapping Lu Xun as he sped away.

"They're here!"

At that very moment, two figures approached the miniature rainbow bridge from front and rear, launching attacks simultaneously.

But it was already too late,

Lu Xun's figure vanished at the end of the rainbow bridge.

"Boom!"

The miniature rainbow bridge was shattered by those two figures.

"Heavenly Dao Talisman... this is a powerful human; he probably has already discovered our scheme."

A demon expert with double wings on his back spoke in a deep voice.

"There are still several array bases; letting all experts above Six Realm act, it only takes an hour to activate the bases and launch the great formation. Perfect—I haven't tasted a human expert's heart in a long time."

Another demon expert, strange‑looking yet handsome, held a cup of scarlet blood, gave it a gentle shake, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Don't put the cart before the horse; this time our main goal is for that one, taking Lan Xing is merely incidental..."

"Hehe, I know..."

Amid their conversation, the two figures silently vanished.

"Lan Xing."

In the South Heaven Gate, after more than five months, Lu Xun set foot here again.

The azure‑blue planet below made him feel especially close.

As a native of Lan Xing, only upon Lan Xing does he feel a sense of home.

"Hey, Xun brother, where have you been these days? I've messaged you but got no reply."

Li Bu Fan's voice suddenly rang out.

Lu Xun turned his head and saw—sure enough—it was Li Bu Fan this kid.

No wonder he's a good buddy.

As soon as he returned, he ran into him.

Taking another look, something was off—how had Li Bu Fan's cultivation broken through to the Third Realm?

"Xun brother, hehe, I've also broken through to the Third Realm—how's that, impressive, right?"

Li Bu Fan raised his fist, wearing a smug grin.

Indeed impressive.

Finally, I've caught up to half of his realm.

Then I looked again.

Wrong.

How come there's a cute girl linking arms with Li Bu Fan?

This kid is dating again.

"Brother Xun, this is my girlfriend—she's pretty, right?"

Li Bu Fan winked and made faces.

"Hello, Brother Xun."

That well-behaved and polite girl greeted Lu Xun.

"Lu Xun."

Suddenly, an excited voice rang out.

Immediately after, a figure descended from the sky.

Lu Xun looked— that figure was actually Fu Xue!
