158: Chapter 158 Slaying a One-Star Martial Saint

"Oh? You are Han Chunming? It seems my luck is good today."

Suddenly, a figure in black appeared before Li Tianci. Without seeing him make any move, that ice spear instantly dissipated.

He looked at Han Ming, a flicker of heat flashing in his eyes.

"It, it's you? Se, Senior, save me!"

Li Tianci looked at the back in front of him, and hearing that familiar voice, he was filled with excitement.

This person who suddenly appeared was exactly that middle-aged man who had given him the Blood Demon Art back then.

"Oh! You sneaky thing, have you finally decided to come out?"

Han Ming was not panicked at all; he glanced at him indifferently and smiled.

In fact, he had long sensed that someone was hiding in the dark.

Although he only had the cultivation of an Eight-Star Martial Venerable, he had inherited his Great-grandfather's Perfection-level Thunder Rule power. Discovering a mere newly Breakthrough Martial Saint was not a difficult task.

"You are courting death!"

The man in black's expression turned cold. He snorted coldly and grabbed at Han Ming through the air with his right hand.

Instantly, a giant claw emitting rolling black Qi grabbed toward Han Ming.

Wherever it passed, black Qi permeated, and flowers, plants, and trees instantly withered, turning into ashes.

"Hmph, you came at just the right time. Let me test my current strength."

Han Ming snorted coldly, a glimmer of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Boom!"

The Aura on Han Ming's body erupted instantly. With a wave of his hand, he used the "Ten Thousand Thunder Attraction" to trigger the heaven and earth Thunder Rule. A roar resounded, and the sky within a radius of dozens of miles changed drastically.

Lightning snakes danced wildly, and that giant claw filled with rolling black Qi was instantly annihilated by the lightning snakes.

With a "pfft" sound, the man in black, whose spirit was connected to the giant claw, spat out a mouthful of blood as the giant claw was broken. He looked at Han Ming with a horrified expression.

He shouted in shock: "Eight-Star Martial Venerable? Thunder Rule? How is that possible?"

It's not like they didn't have information on Han Chunming.

Wasn't he just a One-Star Martial Venerable not long ago, who killed Yin Thirteen of the Thousand Kill Tower against the odds?

How is he already an Eight-Star Martial Venerable now?

What shocked him even more was that Han Ming, a Martial Venerable, had actually comprehended a Rule?

Could it be that he himself is a Martial Saint hiding his strength?

"Escape!"

Thinking of this, the man in black didn't care about Li Tianci anymore. His body instantly turned into a plume of black mist, intending to merge into the Void Realm.

Li Tianci was just a chess piece he had planted. Although important, compared to his own life, it was not worth mentioning.

"Hmph, since you've come, then stay!"

Han Ming snorted coldly, urging one percent of his Space Profound Truth. The black mist that was about to escape into the Void Realm instantly stagnated for a moment.

However, this one moment was already enough.

With a loud "boom," countless lightning snakes in the sky instantly engulfed the place where the black mist was.

"Ah!"

A shrill scream came from within the lightning snakes, as the black mist was continuously eroded and disintegrated by the lightning snakes.

A figure, charred all over and with tattered clothes, condensed within the lightning light.

It was the man in the black robe who had just been preparing to escape. At this moment, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, arcs of electricity flickered over his body, and wisps of blue smoke rose from him.

"Ah... This is you forcing me."

The man in the black robe let out an angry roar, his body rapidly expanding, instantly transforming into a giant ape nearly ten zhang tall.

"Roar—!"

The giant ape roared, took a step, instantly left the attack range of the lightning snakes, and stomped a foot toward the place where Han Ming was.

"This is an Abyss Demon Ape, and it's from the Blood Demon Alliance?"

In Modu Base City, many Martial Saint powerhouses felt the Aura soaring into the sky from the Black Wind Mountain Range and curiously looked over one after another.

Several Martial Saint powerhouses from the Supervision Bureau and the Martial Arts Alliance even tore through space directly, rushing toward the direction from which the Aura came.

"That is the Aura of a Black Demon Ape? Who forced him to this step?"

Similarly, Blood Demon Alliance powerhouses hiding in several nearby base cities also sensed the battle fluctuations in the Black Wind Mountain Range.

They looked over, one after another, in suspicion and uncertainty.

However, they could not see the light, so they dared not go over to watch the excitement.

Han Ming felt the giant palm stomping toward him, as if it had suppressed a region of heaven and earth. He couldn't even activate a fraction of his Space Profound Truth.

He did not delay any longer. The battle fluctuations were so great that powerhouses could arrive at any moment, and he did not want to expose himself so early.

"Hmph."

Han Ming snorted coldly, releasing his Eight-Star Martial Venerable Aura without reservation, augmenting it with eighty percent of the Metal Rule and sixty percent of the War Rule.

He threw a punch with the Perfection-level Earth Rank High Grade Martial Skill, Golden Light Fist.

"Boom—"

A beam of golden light that tore the sky and split the earth soared into the sky, instantly shattering the giant palm's Rule blockade, and charged toward the Abyss Demon Ape's huge head with unstoppable force.

"No—!"

The Abyss Demon Ape was instantly locked by the Rule power and let out an unwilling roar.

With a "boom," the Abyss Demon Ape's head was instantly blasted to pieces by the golden light, and the huge demon ape's corpse crashed to the ground.

Not far away, Lin Xiaoxiao and the other women watched this scene in a daze.

And Li Tianci had already been reduced to powder by the aftermath in the previous battle.

If it weren't for Han Ming diverting a trace of his mind to protect Lin Xiaoxiao and the other women, they wouldn't have fared any better.

"Someone is coming, hurry and leave..."

Suddenly, Han Ming's expression changed. He didn't have time to take away the middle-aged man's Storage Ring. He grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao and the other women with both hands, took a step, and instantly disappeared.

"Hum!"

Just at the moment Han Ming left with them, space fluctuated, and several figures walked out from a space rift.

"Hmm? This is a Black Demon Ape of the Blood Demon Alliance. Who killed him?"

"Such powerful Metal Rule and Thunder Rule."

Several figures stood in the air, looking at the half-corpse of the Abyss Demon Ape before them, as well as the Rule power permeating the mountain hollow, and were also shocked.

"The person has already left. It seems they deliberately avoided us. I don't know which family's powerhouse it is."

The middle-aged man in the lead glanced at the direction Han Ming had just left in and said indifferently.

"Heh, who cares whose family it is! This is killing a Martial Saint Blood Demon; no matter what, it's eliminating a scourge for the people."

Another middle-aged man in brocade robes laughed. Suddenly, his Divine Thought swept over a Storage Ring on the Black Demon Ape's body.

"Eh, it seems our arrival disturbed the other party; they didn't even have time to take away the loot."

He waved his hand, and that Storage Ring instantly appeared in his hand.

"Heh, Han Tianxiang, you are quite lucky. Hurry, those who see it get a share."

The others looked at the middle-aged man in brocade robes with envious eyes and teased him.

It would be a lie to say they weren't envious of the collection of a Martial Saint powerhouse.

"Go, go, go, what I found is mine."

Han Tianxiang waved his hand and happily put the ring into his bosom.

He was exactly the second older brother of Han Ming's grandfather, Han Tianxiong, and the second son of Old Master Han—Han Tianxiang.

The Deputy Director of the Supervision Bureau of Modu Base City, with a cultivation of a Five-Star Martial Saint, he was considered a powerful figure in Modu Base City.

"Alright, there is nothing left here, let's all go back!"

The leader glanced at the others, waved his hand, the space before him was instantly torn, and with one step, his body instantly disappeared.

The others did the same.

After Han Ming left, he did not know what happened behind him. At this moment, he had already appeared hundreds of kilometers away with Lin Xiaoxiao and the three women.

The women had just recovered from the dizziness of space travel when they found themselves being held in Han Ming's arms, one in each hand.

The situation was urgent just now, and Han Ming couldn't care about the differences between men and women. His left hand hugged the waists of Lin Xiaoxiao and Su Qianqian, and his right hand held Zhao Xiaowan, their tender bodies pressing tightly against him.

Feeling the strong masculine Aura on Han Ming's body and looking at his handsome profile, the cheeks of the women instantly flushed to the roots of their ears.

"Many thanks to Senior Han for saving our lives!"

Lin Xiaoxiao was the first to react. She came out of Han Ming's arms and thanked him somewhat embarrassedly.

"Thank you, Senior Han!"

Zhao Xiaowan and Su Qianqian also reacted and hurriedly thanked Han Ming with blushing faces.

They did not recognize that this Han Chunming before them was the Han Ming they knew, so they dared not show any disrespect.

This was, after all, a terrifying powerhouse capable of slaying a Martial Saint.
