"You—"
The Blood Demon General looked up at the figure above the waterfall.
The waterfall was only about three to five ters high, their gazes t each other. Shock was evident in the Blood Demon General’s eyes; he had never expected the main target of his mission to suddenly appear before him, causing his frenzied brain to montarily crash.
However, Su Heng’s eyes were filled with an aloof superiority, "Go on, keep talking, I’m listening."
The Blood Demon General seed to be frightened.
He then lowered his head.
His leg muscles tensed up, like springs filled with power.
His gaze trembled slightly as he quickly scanned his surroundings, looking for the best possible escape route.
Suddenly, in the next instant—
Whoosh!
Accompanied by a piercing scream that cut through the air, the Blood Demon General’s body suddenly blurred.
But it was not to flee; instead, he suddenly burst forth to attack Su Heng. His large hands spread open, his fingers arched. What were once normal human nails turned inwards, protruding outwards, transforming into beast-like claws. They glinted with a hint of scarlet. Before even landing, a dense murderous aura had already assaulted the senses.
Zhao iying was the first to notice sothing was wrong.
Thinking of the Blood Demon General’s terrifying battle record, she opened her mouth wide, intending to warn him.
But with Heavenly Deceit Realm’s full power unleashed, his speed was even faster than the transmission of sound.
The first word had not even had ti to slip out.
The Blood Demon General had already closed in on Su Heng’s tall and sturdy body.
"Die!" he roared, his face twisted with a maniacal smile. Scarlet, terrifying tendons and blood vessels crept from his chest up to his neck, covering his entire face. Under the bright moonlight, he looked as ghastly and fearso as a demon.
Su Heng appeared completely unaware.
He let the Blood Demon General’s terrifyingly powerful claw fiercely imprint on the very center of his chest.
The satisfying feedback of tearing flesh that he imagined did not co.
The bloody claws pierced through the black clothes and landed on the bronze muscles beneath, which reflected a tallic sheen. The muscles slightly dented inward before tightening and bouncing back. The Blood Demon General felt like he had struck a mountain made of steel, with a horrifying force rebounding through his fingertips.
Crack!
His ten nails tensely split and shattered, scattered in all directions.
So of the fragnts grazed the corners of the Blood Demon General’s fierce eyes, blood trailing down like tears.
Boom!
The force within Su Heng erupted.
The dense, dark energy distorted the moonlight, forming clouds of smoke that erupted like a volcano. In the desolate wilderness, it whipped up gusts of wind and swept up heaps of fallen leaves.
With virtually no resistance, the Blood Demon General’s body was tossed about like a rag doll, magically thrown out.
"Crack!" A crisp sound rang out.
It ca simultaneously from his spine and from a large tree behind him.
The tree collapsed with a thunderous crash, and the Blood Demon General’s body slid down the tree trunk and fell to the ground.
His eyes widened in shock. Before this operation began, the Blood Demon General had obtained detailed information about Su Heng from Bogavant.
He had prepared adequately, overestimating as much as possible. He even planned to start from Su Heng’s close associates and covertly assassinate him.
But—
The Blood Demon General had never imagined.
This guy was even stronger than the exaggerated records in the information.
Himself being the leader of the three great Demon Generals, had suddenly struck with full force, yet he had not managed to penetrate this man’s defense.
What kind of monster was this!?
The Blood Demon General felt as if his head was exploding.
Nurous chaotic thoughts prevented him from thinking deeply.
But one thing was certain, facing such an unbeatable entity, it was urgent to flee quickly with the information.
With this thought, the Blood Demon General no longer hesitated. His senses heightened by Heavenly Deceit Realm, his speed soared, and his entire being turned into a grey mist, blasting toward the distant end.
"Where do you think you’re going?" Before he had taken two steps, Su Heng’s cold, rciless voice ca from behind.
Zoom!
A dark force streaked across the moonlight.
It exploded not far away, creating a massive crater.
The shockwave, carrying tiny particles of dust and wood chips like buckshot, hamred the Blood Demon General’s body and face. His body lost balance, swept up by the blast, and flew backward, crashing heavily onto a moss-covered boulder in the forest.
Blood seeped from the Blood Demon General’s mouth, he flipped over, corrected his direction, and continued to flee.
However, the force from the explosion did not dissipate.
Instead, it reconvened, forming a gigantic bird with a wingspan of over three ters.
The bird cried out, piercing steel and stone, and with a flap of its wings, it lunged forward, "Crack!" a crisp sound followed, two deep, bone-deep wounds appeared on the back of the Blood Demon General. Excruciating pain surged, and the Blood Demon General’s complexion turned pale with a flash of hatred.
He turned his head, opened his mouth, and his tongue shot forward fiercely.
Whoosh!
A streak of blood shot out like a sharp arrow.
The bird couldn’t dodge in ti, and the blood pierced through its chest, causing it to gradually disperse.
At that mont, the Blood Demon General had already run thousands of ters away. Looking back, Su Heng still stood erect at the water’s edge. His originally brawny and robust body was now under the night sky of the mountains, reduced to an indiscernible black dot.
Whether the other party was being overconfident or had other considerations was unclear.
Hence, such a distance was created.
Finally, the Blood Demon General could catch a brief breath.
Unfortunately...
This breath did not last long before a roaring "howl" erupted.
The blast wave rolled turbulently, the grass and humus on the ground rippled like waves, being peeled away layer by layer, along with several large trees that two people could embrace together, all toppled over.
Bright moonlight poured down, landing on the surprised and shocked face of the Blood Demon General.
In the clearing ford by the blast wave.
A three-ter-tall, massive berserk bear suddenly appeared.
Similarly conjured by concentrated force, but vividly lifelike, each hair on its body stood up like steel needles, with tips gleaming a cold tallic luster under the moonlight. Its pupils were blood-red, fierce and sadistic. The ground noticeably trembled as the berserk bear suddenly stepped forward, an invisible force sealing all directions.
The large paws lifted, and then smashed down—
Crack!
The Blood Demon General’s eyes bulged.
He threw back his head and let out a piercing scream, then trembling, he looked down.
His two legs, from the knee down, shockingly turned entirely into a mush of soft flesh.
Fat, tendons, pale broken bones, all clearly visible, with blood uncontrollably spurting out. It was fortunate that this surge of force seed to finally reach its end, gradually dissipating in the moonlight.
The Blood Demon General gritted his teeth, turned around, and with his hands planted on the ground, desperately tried to crawl forward.
But he did not get far—
When the moonlight suddenly dimd, two strong thighs appeared in the Blood Demon General’s view.
Leg lifted, stepped down.
Bang!
The grisly face of the Blood Demon General was fiercely buried into the soft soil.
His body struggled violently, his hands wildly reaching for Su Heng’s thighs, but only managed to rip his trousers, leaving pale white scratches on Su Heng’s ankles and calves. A look of impatience gradually erged on Su Heng’s face, his fingers pointed down, and again two blasts of force shot out.
Pfft!
Blood splattered, two bloody arms flew through the air.
The torso of the Blood Demon General, now reduced to a human stick, first struggled violently then gradually cald down, only occasionally twitching.
"Shasha..."
Footsteps ca from the dense forest beside him.
Su Heng looked up, following the sound. Zhao iying was looking complexly at the Blood Demon General at Su Heng’s feet, now unrecognizable as human.
The breath that had been held, finally slowly dispersed.
Zhao iying suddenly looked up and sighed deeply, then sowhat ungracefully sat down, leaning against a large locust tree’s protruding roots.
Su Heng took his foot off the mutilated body of the Blood Demon General, stepped forward, and ca before Zhao iying, "Are you alright?"
"Nothing serious," Zhao iying shook her head, recalling the head of Ran Dong hanging from the tree branches, eyes still open, the heart that was slightly excited about being saved once again sank, "Chen Yang said I am quite fortunate indeed."
A bitter smile appeared on Zhao iying’s face, "But as for you..."
Her gaze toward Su Heng felt sowhat foreign.
The two had parted only a few months ago, which compared to the centuries-long lifeti of martial artists, was but a mont. During this period, Zhao iying had made hardly any progress, while Su Heng’s strength...
If it could be said that at their first eting, Su Heng’s prowess was perceptible.
Now, the gap between them was like a chasm.
Even the Blood Demon General who had cast a shadow over the entire Jiangzhou was easily toyed with and crushed. Facing Su Heng, Zhao iying could no longer sense his strength’s limit. Previously worried that soone might harm Su Heng, it seed she had indeed been overthinking.
"Has the Demon Suppression Army in Jiangzhou been scattered too?" Su Heng spoke calmly, "It seems the situation here is not very good."
"Yes," Zhao iying replied, "We had already suffered heavy losses at Skull Plain."
"Now upon returning to Jiangzhou, before we could even recuperate, we were faced with assassination and turmoil, plus the commander mysteriously disappeared..."
"Right!"
Zhao iying suddenly looked up, "How did you get the ssage to appear here?"
"Wasn’t the ssage from you?" Su Heng looked surprised, then realized the intricacies, "A general from the Demon Suppression Army... If not from you, it must have been from Li Lingxiu."
"Although he was taken back ho by his sister, he has been continuously concerned about the affairs here in Jiangzhou, which is comndable."
"I see," Zhao iying enlightened.
"What are your plans next?" she asked casually, "And what do you plan to do with Blood Demon General Jialuo?"
Although she had not spent much ti with Su Heng,
She knew he always acted decisively.
Currently, having only broken the limbs of the Blood Demon General and oddly sparing his life,
She guessed there might be other plans.
True to form, Su Heng’s voice slowly ca through in the shaking moonlight, "Have you heard of the Dragon Guard? A thousand years ago, they were the elite who road the Seas with Dragon King An Shelie. Now, as the situation gradually becos chaotic, I plan to recreate the Dragon Guard."
"And Blood Demon General Jialuo, will be my first experint."
"Dragon Guard..." Zhao iying pondered upon the words Su Heng had just spoken, her clear pupils gradually showing a trace of resolve.
