Chapter 62: Kill My Lu Family Elders, Pay With Your Lives

At this moment, in the center of the city.

Monstrous demonic flames surged into the sky, and all the members of the Human Race present wore grave expressions.

Without a doubt, if there were no way to counter this, Wanren City would be completely reduced to a breeding ground for the Demon Race today.

This was also something the Demon Race had long since finalized.

To strike a ruthless blow against the Human Race while all eyes were upon them was undoubtedly a devastating hit to the Human Race.

Such a grand event attracted not only the sect masters and elders of various schools and factions but also the heaven-gifted prodigies in whom the Human Race placed its hopes.

If they were all to die here, the Human Race would inevitably face a generational gap of several decades.

By then, conquering Tianxuan would be just around the corner.

Within the rift-like, gaping portal, Demon Qi surged like a tide, continuously pouring and spilling outward, chaotic and malicious.

Low-level members of the Demon Race were almost all hideous in appearance, their physical bodies composed of various elements such as poison gas, bones, magma, and flames; they were all sorts of strange shapes, and the Demon Race possessed no wisdom, being entirely consumed by greed, anger, and ignorance, with their pressure all carrying evil intent that resembled the shadows of hell.

If someone with an unsteady mind were to face them directly, they would likely suffer a mental collapse and lose their life the moment they locked eyes.

A rough estimate of the Demon Race appearing through the portal was at least in the triple digits.

Moreover, they were increasing in an endless stream.

As if there were no upper limit.

Amidst this terrifying and heavy pressure, one person stood before the Linglong Tower, the corners of his lips curling slightly.

"Everything... is just as I expected."

The sound of the wind drowned out what Lu Ren said, to say nothing of the roars of the Demon Race.

Therefore.

No one knew that all of this had long been within Lu Ren's expectations.

Even...

It was highly likely that he had orchestrated it all himself! Flames bared their fangs and claws, rising like a sea of fire obscured by thick clouds, and crimson light enveloped the entire Wanren City.

"At last, my waiting has not been in vain."

Lu Ren sighed softly, raised the tip of his sword, and vanished from his spot in an instant.

"This is a little interest I am collecting from the Demon Race."

"You killed my Lu Family elders, so pay for it with the lives of your entire Demon Race."

The Demon guarding the Teleportation Array found it amusing, the mouth beneath his hood curling in contempt; in his eyes, he had already clearly tracked Lu Ren's trajectory and felt no fear whatsoever.

"A mere Human, yet you dare to boast!"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and seeing Lu Ren heading toward him, he was filled with even more killing intent and disdain.

"There is no need for those few lords; I will kill you myself!"

He indeed had the qualifications to say these words.

Although his strength was only at the Saint Realm, the Demon Race possessed inherently powerful physiques, and killing across realms was merely a common occurrence.

"Perish."

Lu Ren glanced indifferently at the Demon who had spoken, his figure brushing past him without sparing a shred of attention.

He did not even move his sword, yet this Saint Realm Demon exploded like fireworks with a "bang," his flesh and blood splattering all over the ground.

That calm voice contained the power of laws, as if acting on behalf of the Heavens, a Word of Law! And he was the most dazzling color on the entire battlefield.

"..."

There were many who dared not come out of the Linglong Tower.

There were even more people outside the Linglong Tower!

People who would take risks and refuse to believe in evil existed everywhere.

On top of a nearby ancient bell, a mysterious cat was licking its paws, its posture elegant as it watched the show.

But after Lu Ren's word "Perish," it went completely rigid.

What did it hear? Word of Law! The Heavenly Dao was moved!

No! This shouldn't be! It was the Heavenly Dao, and Lu Ren was merely a villain; why could he use the Word of Law in its world!!

He shouldn't even be capable of Enlightenment! "Where exactly did something go wrong!"

An anthropomorphic madness appeared on the face of the Heavenly Dao Incarnation.

The Book of Fate flipped pages "whoosh, whoosh" before it, page after page, but it swiped them away with a slap.

"Wrong, wrong, wrong!! Why? I am the Heavenly Dao, why can he act on behalf of my authority? My authority! That is mine!"

"Kill you, kill you, kill you! I must kill you!"

A massive panic engulfed the Heavenly Dao Incarnation.

It could not even bother to watch the show, shrinking back in tremors, terrified by the conjecture in its own heart.

If, if Lu Ren could act on behalf of a portion of the Heavenly Dao's authority, then... then what about it?

No! Absolutely not!

A ferocious hatred flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao Incarnation, like a dark swamp where black mud had settled, neurotically gnawing at the fur of this physical body, tearing until it was dripping with blood.

It would not allow anyone to share the Heavenly Dao's authority with it again.

This belonged to it.

It could only belong to it.

It must be!...

A sense of dead silence shrouded the Demon Race; the few Demons at the eye of the Teleportation Array were somewhat surprised, but that was all.

They were very confident in the defense of the Teleportation Array.

"Give up, you cannot destroy the gate of the Teleportation Array."

One of the Demon Race members, with hair as white as snow, chuckled, her red lips bright and charming.

She sat upon a Flower-shaped Treasure, her fingertips twirling a lock of her long white hair, winding it incessantly, while her toes swayed, causing the golden bells on her ankles to jingle.

Her gaze toward Lu Ren was filled with pity and a lofty, disdainful disregard.

"Your Strange Fire is indeed very strong," she praised.

The Teleportation Array and the battlefield seemed completely incompatible; here was an open space with an invisible barrier shrouding the four Demon Race members within.

Even though the background was filled with Demon Race members being scorched by Lu Ren's Strange Fire with crackling sounds and continuous screams, it seemed unable to stir their emotions at all.

"It is a pity, but you are still one move behind us, Lu Family Head."

She smiled and extended a fingertip, tapping against the defensive array wall, as if using this gesture to trace Lu Ren's face outside.

It was highly suggestive.

"Once my Demon Array is complete and the experts of the Demon Race swarm out, I am willing to save a spot for you as a bed-warming male pet; what do you say?"

She cast a flirtatious glance at Lu Ren.

Lu Ren gripped his Spirit Sword and stood still outside the array, appearing as if he were powerless.

Even the Human Race felt that Lu Ren could only watch helplessly as the Demon Race completed their array.

What other choice was there? A frontal assault?

Don't be foolish! Even if an Emperor Realm expert were here, they might not be able to force open a gap.

The color of ash stained the faces of the Human Race.

Even though Feng Wuyou, Weisheng Yucheng, and others were fighting bravely, the Demon Race seemed endless.

They couldn't help but wonder... could it be that behind this array lies the nest of the Demon Race? If so, then it is truly over.

However, Lu Ren curled the corners of his lips and unhurriedly retracted his Spirit Sword.

He beckoned, and the Qiongqi hiding inside the Linglong Tower received the signal instantly, let out an excited roar, and charged fiercely toward him.

Weisheng Yucheng frowned.

He did not think highly of the Qiongqi, "Lu Family Head! Even if the Qiongqi has entered its adult stage, it is still a Fierce Beast that governs space; it cannot break this array!"

"I have already sent word to the Beast Taming Sect, and the sect masters of other sects are all here; as long as we drag out the time, we will surely be able to hold on!"

The white-haired Demon Race member also chuckled and covered her mouth, looking on with disdain.

"He is right; this is an Array Disk left behind by a Demon Race Ascendant, and it is simply not something a mere Qiongqi can break."

Lu Ren ignored her, instead looking at the Qiongqi and asking, "Are you ready?"

The Qiongqi's form shrank until it was only the size of a palm, its fierce laughter containing a hint of suppressed endurance.

"I have been ready for a long time! I have waited for this day for too long; Master, I can no longer wait!!"

What? A trace of unease stirred in the white-haired Demon Race member's heart.

The others were all bewildered, not understanding what Lu Ren was about to do.

Only the Divine Beast Old Ox, favored by heaven and earth, seemed to sense something; he suddenly raised his head and, disregarding his composure, frantically poked his ox head out of the Linglong Tower.

He stared blankly at the faint thunderclouds gathering in the sky.

The thunderclouds rolled, dark and heavy, gathering and pressing down upon Wanren City; the aura of destruction swept through everything.

These thunderclouds were moving too fast! It did not look like something summoned by any technique.

Instead...

Instead, it looked like...

A terrifying guess took shape in his heart.

Thinking back on the timing of the Qiongqi's appearance.

It couldn't be...

This Qiongqi, could it be that it hasn't yet undergone its Heavenly Tribulation for the adult stage!!!
