"Kill!"
Countless armored soldiers surged forward like a tidal wave, immediately surrounding the Blood Demon. Despite its tireless efforts, it could only hold back a few, while many others charged toward Xu Sanyan.
On the other side, the battle between Emperor Qi and the Blood Demon had reached a fever pitch. Both were focused solely on offense, with no regard for defense.
Although the Blood Demon was incredibly fast, Emperor Qi's body was exceptionally tough. Even the Blood Demon's full-force attacks only left faint white marks on him.
Suddenly, Xu Sanyan seemed to sense something and turned to look into the distance. On a high pavilion, two figures stood, both wearing Daoist robes and looking remarkably similar. They had long beards fluttering in the wind, exuding an air of immortal grace.
Xu Sanyan pondered for a moment and guessed that they must be the other two Cultivators from the Star Gazing Pavilion.
While grappling with the Blood Demon, Emperor Qi still had the energy to speak, "Xu Sanyan, today you are destined to have no escape. Stop resisting pointlessly. Hand over the opportunity, and I'll let you leave."
Xu Sanyan smiled faintly, "No escape? Heh… Who said I'm planning to escape?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a crimson mist slowly emerged, enveloping Xu Sanyan's entire body. A few soldiers who failed to dodge in time were caught in the mist and let out piercing screams. Their flesh and blood seemed to be drained completely, turning them into withered corpses in an instant.
The surrounding soldiers dared not approach, their eyes wary as they stared at the crimson mist.
As the mist gradually dissipated, a crimson figure was revealed. Its appearance bore a striking resemblance to Xu Sanyan, but with a third eye tightly closed on its forehead, a pair of outward-curving fangs in its mouth, and a face stained scarlet. Its body was robust, and it had grown an additional pair of arms under its ribs, each arm positioned differently.
Emperor Qi frowned slightly, feeling a hint of pressure. This kind of Dao Foundation was unheard of, and he had no idea what peculiar abilities it might possess.
Xu Sanyan's figure flickered, and he instantly disappeared from his original spot. When he reappeared, he was standing behind Emperor Qi. His sharp fangs twitched, and a slender tongue slipped out from his lips as he spoke with an eerie tone,
"Heh… Even within the Foundation Establishment Realm, there are differences!"
Emperor Qi's soul nearly left his body. His heart pounded like a war drum, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
He hadn't even seen Xu Sanyan's movement!
At this critical moment, Emperor Qi frantically circulated his Spiritual Power, preparing for a desperate struggle. The blood-colored aura around him thickened, and his physical strength increased significantly.
The battle between the two had just begun, but it was already nearing its end.
Xu Sanyan's hands clamped onto Emperor Qi's shoulders, while his other pair of fists struck heavily at his ribs.
"Boom~!"
A deafening sound erupted, as if a giant bell had been struck. A high-pitched resonance echoed across the sky, drowning out the intense sounds of battle around them.
In an instant, Emperor Qi's body was sent flying uncontrollably forward, but Xu Sanyan's grip on his shoulders yanked him back.
"Ah!!"
Emperor Qi's face twisted in pain. He felt like a sandbag hanging from a rope, utterly at the mercy of his attacker.
Panic filled Emperor Qi's eyes. For decades, he had never felt death so close. He struggled with all his might, trying to break free from Xu Sanyan's arms, but no matter how hard he tried, it was futile.
At this moment, Emperor Qi felt like a helpless child, caught in the grip of a powerful Large man, being toyed with and utterly unable to resist.
He had never imagined that the gap between himself and Xu Sanyan would be so vast!
"Save me!"
Emperor Qi's eyes were bloodshot, his eyeballs bulging. Under Xu Sanyan's iron fists, his internal organs were under immense pressure, almost on the verge of bursting. He could only let out a desperate cry for help.
Two figures descended from the high pavilion, each wielding a long sword, their movements as swift as eagles piercing through the sky.
The soldiers behind them surged forward recklessly, while Xu Sanyan, like a small boat caught in a vast ocean, teetered on the brink of capsizing at any moment.
"Hahahaha... come on!"
Xu Sanyan let out a wild laugh, unafraid. He bent his arm back and delivered a fierce punch to Emperor Qi's chest.
"Pfft!"
Emperor Qi could no longer hold on. A mouthful of crimson blood sprayed out, and the color in his body dimmed. It seemed he was about to collapse.
Xu Sanyan casually tossed him aside. With a thought, the Blood Demon charged into the crowd, slaughtering at will, like a wolf among sheep. The ordinary soldiers were no match for him.
In an instant, the two long swords in the air were right in front of him. Xu Sanyan's crimson eyes revealed a ferocious glint as he raised his four arms, using his bare palms to block the sharp blades.
"Clang!"
At the moment of contact, a metallic clang rang out. Xu Sanyan's palms seemed to be made of tempered steel, without a single scratch.
The Red Sea Twin Immortals were sent flying back, landing gracefully. They exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
"This is definitely not the strength of someone at the early stage of Foundation Establishment!" said one of them, dressed in white and blue Daoist robes.
The other nodded, "Indeed. For someone so young to cultivate to such a level in this spiritually barren land is not just a matter of talent. He must have some hidden opportunity!"
Greed flashed in their eyes as they secretly resolved to capture him and force him to reveal his secrets.
From the brief exchange, Xu Sanyan had already assessed that these two were stronger than Emperor Qi, but not unbeatable.
"Come on! Let me see what makes the people of the Central Region so special!"
Xu Sanyan's four arms descended like meteors, smashing toward them with a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye. A flash of crimson light, and his iron fists were already upon them.
The Red Sea Twin Immortals threw their swords forward. The two blades trembled in front of them, emitting red and green lights that enveloped the two.
Xu Sanyan gathered his strength and punched the light barrier. The barrier trembled but then returned to calm.
Xu Sanyan narrowed his eyes, unwilling to believe it. He raised his fist again and struck the barrier with even greater force. The barrier shook more violently, but still did not break.
What is this thing?
Could it be... a legendary treasure?
Xu Sanyan's expression shifted. This thing was powerful, but it must also consume a lot of Spiritual Power. There was no need for him to tangle with them.
The Red Sea Twin Immortals curled their lips into a smile, "Hahaha... truly a country bumpkin. To think you could break our Mystic Treasure, which we've trained with for years, using just your physical strength. Ridiculous."
"Hmph, let's see how long you can hide!" Xu Sanyan snorted.
"Hide? Hahaha..."
The two of them burst into laughter as if they had heard a hilarious joke. The one in black Daoist robes smirked, "Today, we'll broaden your horizons!"
As soon as the words fell, they exchanged a glance. One transformed into a red light, the other into a green light. The two lights intertwined and finally merged into one.
As the light dissipated, a figure in pale green emerged, standing over two meters tall with layers of fat rippling like water waves across his body.
His stout, short legs struggled to support his frame, with the sagging flesh obscuring all but a pair of webbed, frog-like feet.
Between the fingers of his hands, a layer of webbed skin connected them, and as the light faded completely, two long swords fell into his grasp.
Xu Sanyan's eyelids twitched. This thing... was truly damn ugly!
