He sat cross-legged on the cliff.
Lu Sheng's long hair fluttered in the wind.
His twin sabers were stabbed into the ground to his right. Other than him, there was no one else around.
Below him was the Skyline River. Several figures were engaged in a frenzied battle. Deafening collisions and furious roars rang out from afar.
Lu Sheng knew that Wandering Heart Society was encircling Scarlet District Mistress. But from the looks of it, Wandering Heart Society's Deputy Society Master, Chao Hu, seemed to be on his last legs. After a few head-on clashes, he was quickly suppressed by Scarlet District Mistress.
The saber with the shards of red light seemed to possess a terrifying might. Every time it slashed at the one-eyed giant, he would avoid it warily, not daring to take it head-on.
As time passed, the number of Wandering Heart Society members gradually decreased. In the end, only Chao Hu was left to fend off Scarlet District Mistress.
The two were fighting with all their might. Scarlet District Mistress's strength and speed were terrifying, but she was still lacking compared to Chao Hu. If not for the saber in her right hand, she would not have been able to gain the upper hand.
The one-eyed giant, Chao Hu's mace was now damaged. His ferocious nature was unleashed, and beams of pale golden light shot out from his single eye. Scarlet District Mistress was forced to dodge.
Lu Sheng noticed that Scarlet District Mistress would clutch her chest occasionally, as if in pain.
'Looks like I can't count on Wandering Heart Society anymore … they can't even deal with the ambushed enemies. They're just a bunch of boorish demons, 'Lu Sheng was unperturbed. He was not surprised by the outcome.
To him, whether Scarlet District Mistress won or lost, she would not leave this place alive.
"BOOM!!"
Just then, another deafening explosion rang out from below.
Large amounts of river water were blown up and fell like rain.
Scarlet District Mistress panted heavily as she blocked a beam of pale golden light with her saber.
It was shot from Chao Hu's single eye. When the beam of pale golden light hit the river, the water evaporated instantly. It swept past the rocks on the shore, clearing them as if they had been sliced into two by the sharpest blade.
However, it was different from this time. This time, the beams of light were continuous, shooting out from the eye in an endless stream.
Chao Hu approached her step by step as he released the golden light.
"You won't have the chance!" He had long since anticipated this outcome. This golden light was known as the Demonic Gaze, an ability he was born with. After many years of bitter cultivation, its power had gradually increased, forming a strange power.
"You actually forced me to use my evil eyes!" If he used this light too much, it would shorten his lifespan. Therefore, he would not use it easily unless he had no other choice.
But he didn't expect that they would come to encircle him. An ordinary Black Snake that was far inferior to him last time. Now, he was actually showing signs of stepping into the upper three grades.
"To think that a mere tiger demon can force me to this extent …" Chao Hu stepped on the water's surface step by step, inching towards Scarlet District Mistress.
The golden light became denser and more dazzling.
Scarlet District Mistress gritted her teeth and held on with all her might. The Scarlet Dragon Tribulation shard on her saber hilt emitted a red glow continuously, blocking the golden light.
Her eyes flickered with a faint red light, and her body was almost at its limit. Every inch of Xiao Chen's muscles and every trace of energy was squeezed out and sent to the saber hilt in front of him to block the golden light.
"Sister …" the umbrella girl's gentle voice came from behind her.
"I won't lose," Scarlet District Mistress growled with a glint in her eyes. "I won't!!"
"Soul Changeling Phantom!!" Her right hand and saber turned translucent in an instant.
Her hand and saber pierced through the golden light at the same time and chopped down viciously on Chao Hu's head.
The speed of the strike was so fast that Chao Hu did not even have time to react before he staggered and fell into the river with a tragic cry.
Scarlet District Mistress let out a pained howl. After her Soul Changeling, she had lost her physical form and was naturally unable to block the golden light. Therefore, the golden light struck her chest squarely, punching a huge hole right through it.
"Ha … HAHAHAHA!! DIE! " Scarlet District Mistress did not seem to care about the hole in her chest at all. With a leap, she continued pouncing towards Chao Hu in the river.
Chao Hu's single eye on the top of his head was struck by the saber. Blood flowed like a fountain as he howled in agony. Sensing that Scarlet District Mistress was pouncing towards him, he mustered all his strength and punched towards her.
At this stage, there were no longer any moves. It was just a battle of raw strength and speed.
They were not like humans who had all sorts of moves and martial arts. Most of them competed in the most basic of strength, speed, defense, and martial arts. To them, martial arts were superfluous.
Soul Changeling Phantom was Scarlet District Mistress's innate secret art. Just like Chao Hu's Eye of Evil, as a demon, every individual would have their own innate secret art.
These secret arts could be gradually transformed through the cultivation of different manuals and secret arts, making them stronger, broader, and even undergo a qualitative change.
This was the effect of the demon's cultivation methods.
Although Scarlet District Mistress was exceptionally talented, the cultivation methods and secret arts she cultivated were ultimately just ordinary. That was why she yearned for higher level secret arts.
Chao Hu, on the other hand, did not have such a problem. The reason why his Eye of Evil was so powerful was because he had cultivated it this way. If not for the Scarlet Dragon Tribulation shard, the outcome of this battle would undoubtedly be a repeat of the previous one. Other than fleeing pathetically, Scarlet District Mistress had no other choice.
Raindrops started falling at some point in time. Thicker and thicker. Gradually, it turned into a downpour.
God knew how long the battle went on.
By the riverbank, when Scarlet District Mistress finally pulled her saber out of Chao Hu's gigantic body, her chest and neck were also slashed open with two massive wounds.
Her flesh and blood tried to heal as quickly as possible, but was blocked by a faint layer of golden light.
"Huff … huff … huff …"
Panting heavily, Scarlet District Mistress fell to her knees. Rainwater drenched her face and body.
Suddenly, she remembered something and turned around to look for her.
"Yingying! Yingying!! "
Hurriedly, she got to her feet and staggered towards umbrella girl on the riverbank. Yingying seemed to have been severely injured by the aftershocks of the intense battle.
"Yingying, what's wrong?!" Scarlet District Mistress hurriedly picked umbrella girl up.
"SPLAT!!"
Suddenly, a bloodied saber blade plunged straight into Scarlet District Mistress's abdomen.
Scarlet District Mistress froze. Releasing Yingying from her arms, she lowered her head and stared blankly at her abdomen.
The flesh and blood there were withering rapidly.
"You …!!" Her eyes glazed over as she staggered a few steps back. "Yingying …"
"Sister …"
The umbrella girl began to cry bitterly. Her eyes shone faintly with the deep blue of the Yin Crane Web. The dagger in her hand that had been smeared with jade powder trembled violently. She wanted to throw it away, but another force within her forced her to hold it tightly.
She rose to her feet and walked towards Scarlet District Mistress again.
"Splat!"
The second saber stabbed viciously into Scarlet District Mistress's left shoulder.
Originally, it was aimed at her forehead. But umbrella girl shook her head with all her might and used all her strength to deviate the trajectory.
The saber pierced deep into her body.
"ARGH!!!"
Scarlet District Mistress let out a long howl. Her originally snow-white short hair rapidly turned blood-red.
The huge recoil knocked Yingying back violently, causing her to fall to the ground.
The rain grew heavier.
A figure appeared silently behind her. It was Lu Sheng, who had been waiting for a long time.
Wielding two sabers in his hands, he had no aura at all. Like a rock, he stood behind Scarlet District Mistress undetected.
"It's about time …" Lu Sheng raised his sabers slowly.
"Splat!!"
The razor-sharp sabers slashed towards Scarlet District Mistress's back.
"CLANG!!"
Just then, a blurry figure suddenly appeared in front of Lu Sheng and blocked the two sabers.
"Ye Moling?" Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
"SWISH."
Ye Moling retreated a few steps. Feeling an unimaginably immense force surging towards him, a look of disbelief surfaced on his face.
"IT'S YOU!!?" He was stunned. He had not expected that the person who had appeared at this moment would be Lu Sheng.
This ordinary leader of a human gang actually dared to raise his saber and attack a Manor Lord of the Snake realm?!
Only then did Scarlet District Mistress realize that something was amiss. She spun around and saw Lu Sheng behind her. Her expression did not change. Right now, she was still immersed in the pain of being hurt by the one she loved.
"I didn't expect you to come too," Lu Sheng looked at Ye Moling in surprise.
"Why can't I come? I didn't expect you to be the mastermind behind all this. You killed the Officiator too, didn't you? And the Emissary too? "Ye Moling said coldly. "And umbrella girl too. You're the one behind it, aren't you?"
"… So what if I am? So what if I'm not? "Lu Sheng approached slowly." Do you think you can leave this place alive? "
"Just you?" Ye Moling sneered.
"Yeah … just me."
"SWISH!"
Ye Moling appeared before Lu Sheng in the blink of an eye. His sharp claws swiped straight at Lu Sheng's head.
Just as his claws were about to make contact with Lu Sheng's forehead …
"BOOM!!"
An invisible scorching flame exploded in the air, blocking the claws for an instant.
"A meaningless struggle," a low voice rang out.
Thick white smoke dispersed.
With a snap, a greenish-black arm that seemed to be clad in armor reached out from the smoke and grabbed Ye Moling's hand firmly.
"Who can you kill with such a feeble attack? Yourself? "
Lu Sheng grabbed Ye Moling with one hand and smashed him into the ground.
"BAM!!!"
Huge cracks spread out along the river bank. In the blink of an eye, a pit several meters deep appeared on the ground.
As the smoke dissipated, Scarlet District Mistress could finally see Lu Sheng's face clearly.
Originally in human form, he had now transformed into a two-meter-tall monster covered in a thick layer of mirror-like armor.
Bull horns, sharp claws, and a thick, long tail swung freely like a whip.
This greenish-black humanoid monster seemed to be covered in a thick layer of metallic armor. Sharp black spikes protruded from his shoulders, elbows and back. Incomparably savage.
His body was even more well-proportioned and streamlined, giving off the impression that there was no excess tissue.
He just stood there, exuding a natural air of calmness, elegance and savagery.
"KILL HIM!!!" Ye Moling leaped up, his face covered in blood, and charged at Lu Sheng.
Scarlet District Mistress's eyes turned cold. She also charged at Lu Sheng like lightning.
"BAM BAM BAM BAM!!"
The two of them combined their strength and rained down blows on Lu Sheng like a tempest. But he blocked each and every one of them with incomparable precision.
"BOOM!!"
In the blink of an eye, Scarlet District Mistress was struck on the head by a saber. She was sent tumbling far away.
In midair, Ye Moling blocked Lu Sheng's saber with all his might.
"CLANG!!"
A silver line slashed horizontally. His claws were instantly severed. His body was almost snapped in half at the waist as he crashed heavily into the river.
Huge waves splashed up.
