Master of the Demon Emperor

Chapter 164 Arrival of the Vice Hall Master

Bailing Demon Lord!

The thought that he might have faced the Bailing Demon Lord earlier made Mu Rongyu's head spin.

Mu Rongdi said in a deep voice, "Let's go. The Saint Lord of the Divine Physique Hall might descend soon, and staying here could get us inadvertently injured."

The four guards nodded. They could protect the Mu Rong siblings in the Land of the Imperial Lineage, but against the Saint Lord of the Divine Physique Hall, they could only withstand two at most.

Thus, Mu Rongdi, pulling Mu Rongyu, ran towards the outskirts of the city.

Meanwhile, other cultivators and Great Demons within Flame Demon City were also evacuating. They all understood the trouble that the death of the city lord would bring.

However, they didn't distance themselves from Flame Demon City but watched the battle unfolding around it.

A great battle between the Bailing Demon Lord and the Divine Physique Hall was definitely thrilling; they didn't want to miss it!

Inside the city.

Han Yuan and Ren Wokuang came to Su Yie's side, waiting quietly.

Fang Tian Divine Fist and the Piercing Arm Monkey rested on the ruins.

Time trickled by.

About an hour later, Ren Wokuang was furious, kicked a stone by his foot, and cursed, "Damn it! Why hasn't the Divine Physique Hall arrived yet? Are they chickening out?"

Li Huahun opened his eyes, glanced at him, and coldly huffed, "Shut up."

Ren Wokuang shivered all over, not daring to speak any further.

Han Yuan also opened his eyes and frowned, "There's something fishy about this."

The Divine Physique Hall couldn't possibly take this long to arrive—not to mention the flight speed of the Saint Lords. The Land of the Imperial Lineage is full of their teleportation arrays.

Could it be that the Divine Physique Hall didn't get the message?

Impossible!

There must be a conspiracy!

Han Yuan's thoughts raced like lightning. Suddenly, he leapt into the air, his fingers sweeping before his eyes, and his pupils turning red, flickering with a faint luminescence.

After using a secret technique, Han Yuan began to survey the surroundings of Flame Demon City.

Those cultivators and Great Demons were still watching, everything appearing very normal.

Boom—

Just then, the ground suddenly shook, and a light screen rose from the edge of Flame Demon City, translucent and dome-like, enveloping Flame Demon City.

The ambush occurred too quickly, and Su Yie and the others didn't even have time to escape.

"What's going on?"

Ren Wokuang immediately tensed up, and Li Huahun slowly stood up; not far away, Fang Tian Divine Fist and the Piercing Arm Monkey also got up.

Xiao Bai, perching on Su Yie's shoulder, trembled, terrified.

A terrifying murderous aura filled Flame Demon City, as if a cold wind was ravaging it.

"Bailing Demon Lord, Fang Tian Divine Fist, you truly are bold. Today, I will refine you into Wronged Spirits so that you may never transcend!"

A chilling voice followed, its tone icy, as if coming from the Nine Netherworlds, filled with murderous intent.

Suddenly, an indistinct figure appeared at the top of the light screen. He wore a black robe with golden patterns, his face haughty, looking down on Su Yie and the others with disdain.

The Piercing Arm Monkey sneered, "Scum, you dare to stop us?"

Clang!

The Piercing Arm Monkey fiercely slammed his iron staff into the ruins, causing the ground to tremble—a vibration even the cultivators and Great Demons outside the city could feel.

Such terrifying power!

"That's the Vice Hall Master of the Divine Physique Hall, Chang Qiuxian!"

"Is it really Chang Qiuxian? Even the Vice Hall Master is mobilized, the Divine Physique Hall is truly determined to kill the Bailing Demon Lord!"

"Sss—more than twenty Saint Lords!"

"The Bailing Demon Lord is doomed!"

"With such forces, who in the Land of the Imperial Lineage can contend?"

Murmurs arose outside the city, everyone deeming Su Yie and the others as doomed.

Chang Qiuxian, Vice Hall Master of the Divine Physique Hall, also a powerhouse listed in the Worldly Renowned Register beyond the top hundred. Even so, he was a formidable figure. Coupled with more than twenty Saint Lords and nearly two hundred Cultivators from the Astral Projection Realm, Su Yie and the others were virtually sentenced to death.

Su Yie said coldly, "What about the Nameless Imperial Ancestor? Tell him to roll out and face his death!"

He deliberately raised his voice, allowing those outside the city and demons to hear.

His purpose was to provoke the Nameless Imperial Ancestor.

Nameless of the Imperial Clan is undying, and thus, his threat remains unremoved.

The only person who could command the entire Divine Physique Hall to issue a kill order is Nameless of the Imperial Clan!

No sooner had Su Yie finished speaking than numerous figures appeared on the light screen, the weakest of whom had also reached the Astral Projection Realm. With more than two hundred people, their combined aura made Su Yie and the others feel as if the sky was collapsing.

"With me here, why would the Hall Master need to make a move? Kill!"

Chang Qiuxian scoffed, waving his right hand, causing everyone around him to charge headlong into Flame Demon City.

The Piercing Arm Monkey scoffed derisively, swinging its staff and sweeping away the strong gusts of wind that blew dozens of Astral Projection Realm cultivators away, destroying the buildings in front of it.

Fang Tian Divine Fist, Han Yuan, and Ren Wokuang followed in killing.

The great battle erupted directly!

Li Huahun stayed by Su Yie's side, advising, "Be careful."

Su Yie nodded slightly, yet his mind was in turmoil.

If he used the Divine Shadow Legion now, wouldn't they be doomed if Nameless of the Imperial Clan appeared after the battle ended?

Boom!

The Piercing Arm Monkey struck a Saint Lord with its staff, the tyrannical force instantly causing that Saint Lord's physical body to burst, killing him instantly.

This scene frightened the other Saint Lords, who hurriedly retreated, not daring to engage in close combat.

"The power of this Demon Monkey…"

"Could he also possess an Ancient physique?"

"Everyone, do not engage him in close combat!" Enjoy exclusive content from empire

"Could he be that Demon Monkey who stormed the Sword Sect and returned unscathed?"

The Saint Lords buzzed with shocked discussions, and at that moment, Chang Qiuxian too entered the city to join the battle.

"Audacious Demon Monkey! You dare to oppose the Divine Physique Hall, you will surely die!"

Chang Qiuxian flipped his hand to produce a Golden Spear marked with black patterns and thrust it directly at the Piercing Arm Monkey.

Although his name was filled with a sense of the immortal, his combat style was more reminiscent of a general from the Luck Dynasty.

And it wasn't just him; most cultivators and Demon Kings of the Divine Physique Hall were the same.

The Piercing Arm Monkey, intending to attack him, charged boldly forward.

Staff and spear collided!

Clang—

The entire Flame Demon City shook, causing buildings to tremble!

Both man and monkey backed off simultaneously, both with drastically changed expressions, somewhat disbelieving.

"Such tyrannical power! What exactly is your physique?"

Chang Qiuxian asked darkly, his hands trembling slightly, his palms in severe pain.

The face of the Piercing Arm Monkey looked terrible as well, cursing loudly, "I'm the kind that can kill you!"

With a roar, he charged at Chang Qiuxian again.

Su Yie watched with a frown, as the Piercing Arm Monkey was indeed blocked by Chang Qiuxian, an ominous sign.

Luckily, Li Huahun was there.

Cultivators from the Astral Projection Realm attacked from all directions, attempting to capture Su Yie.

Li Huahun's eyes narrowed, his form flickering like a phantom around them, blood splattering as his palms turned into knives, frenziedly slaughtering.

For him, these Astral Projection Realm cultivators were no different from ordinary people.

Su Yie drew out the Sword of Defeated Grudges and the Zhou Wu Sword, ready to fight.

He had a premonition.

The Divine Physique Hall still had a trump card!

"Die!"

Ren Wokuang landed a punch on a Saint Lord, causing the Saint Lord's robe to flutter.

He was merely in the Astral Projection Realm, whereas the Saint Lord was in the Innate Dao Fruit Realm.

The gap between them was like a chasm.

Seeing this, the Saint Lord turned his head to look at him, his expression utterly cold, as if he was looking at a dead man.

Ren Wokuang suddenly felt awkward, hastily retreating and waving his hand with a laugh, "I got the wrong person, you go fight my big brother!"
