180: Jointly suppress

As a Dao Realm Demon King, the Red Scale Snake Matriarch's condensed blood arrows contained terrifying power; each one was formed from pure blood Evil Qi, as if countless vengeful spirits of the deceased had gathered within them.

Countless blood arrows shot forth, and any single one, with the fluctuations of Qi it emitted, was enough to threaten an Extremity Realm martial artist. From this terrifying quantity, it was clear that the Red Scale Snake Matriarch intended to kill Lu Ming.

After all, these were methods employed by a Demon King. Even if Lu Ming could easily slay a Perfected Extreme Realm Great Demon, he couldn't help but show a solemn expression when facing such fierce attacks.

To be able to divert some of her attention to deal with him while fighting a strong enemy like Wu Mingjian, this alone showed how much killing intent the Red Scale Snake Matriarch harbored towards him, the enemy who had slain her three children.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Ming immediately activated the Nine Revolutions Prajna Skill. Vast True Qi gathered from his Dantian, forming a layer of white light protection on the surface of his skin.

Facing the Demon King's offensive, this defense alone was certainly not enough, and Lu Ming was not the type of person who liked to passively resist.

A cold glint rapidly spread in his deep eyes, and a blood-red light flickered between his fingers. Immediately after, an extremely scorching energy fluctuation spread from it.

Burning Sun Finger!

As the Qi condensed, Lu Ming extended a finger and swiftly pointed into the air in front of him. The next second, an extremely scorching blood-red light pillar suddenly erupted, carrying a turbulent and wild Qi as it pierced through the sky, blasting towards the sky-filling blood arrows.

Lu Ming mobilized vast True Qi, and the ball of blood-fire condensed in his Dantian swayed wildly. The immense True Qi drawn by this strike was enough to drain an ordinary Extremity Realm martial artist dry, but for Lu Ming, the consumption of True Qi for this strike was not significant; in fact, it was not even his strongest method.

Boom!

The two forces collided in mid-air, accompanied by a deafening roar. The blood-red light, piercing through the firmament, illuminated the dim, dark earth.

The surrounding wind howled, and large swathes of blood arrows exploded under the power of that strike, transforming into a blood mist and dissipating.

Although this Burning Sun Finger blocked part of the blood arrows' power, it did not destroy all of them.

Still, many blood arrows whistled towards him. Lu Ming's eyes narrowed as he watched the rapidly approaching blood arrows!

Just as those blood arrows were about to reach Lu Ming, the protective white light flared, and a profound Qi spread from within it.

Clanking sounds rang out as Lu Ming operated the Nine Revolutions Prajna Skill to its extreme. The powerful protective white light completely blocked the offensive.

Seeing her attack blocked by an Extremity Realm martial artist, the Red Scale Snake Matriarch was furious. Her massive snake body writhed, about to launch another attack.

"Red Scale Snake Matriarch, your opponent is me!" Wu Mingjian roared, drawing his finger across his sword blade. A crimson drop of blood slid from his finger, and at that moment, an incomparably sharp Qi was released from the sword.

"Golden Rainbow, Unleash!"

This High Grade Spirit Treasure, having been nourished by Wu Mingjian's True Qi for many years, had long since reached a certain Realm of harmony with him. On normal days, he would conceal his Sword Intent within the sword for nourishment, and in actual combat, he could mobilize this power to unleash a formidable strength far exceeding the norm.

The Red Scale Snake Matriarch seemed to sense the threat from mid-air. She became frantic, letting out a sharp roar while mobilizing all her strength, attempting to block it.

Violent blood Qi spread wildly from her body, enveloping her massive snake body. She suddenly swung her snake tail, striking towards Wu Mingjian like a lashing whip.

Having successfully averted the crisis, Lu Ming also looked up, understanding the current situation. The two warring parties were in a stalemate, needing a catalyst to break the deadlock.

And successfully blocking the Red Scale Snake Matriarch's attack also made Lu Ming realize that, given the current situation, only he had a glimmer of hope to break this stalemate!

With that thought, Lu Ming did not hesitate. He immediately mobilized the blood-fire in his Dantian. As his Qi circulated, he slowly brought his hands together, chanting incantations.

As the scorching Qi gathered again, this time the scorching Qi released was different from the turbulent energy fluctuations of the Burning Sun Finger.

The fierce fire Spirit Qi was like untamed beasts, seemingly ready to break free from Lu Ming's restraints at any moment. However, with Lu Ming's further improvement in cultivation, at this moment, relying on his formidable strength far surpassing others, Lu Ming forcefully suppressed those streams of power.

A massive amount of True Qi was frantically drawn out. Looking inward at his Qi Sea, the Dantian, which stored a large amount of True Qi, seemed to churn with surging waves, gathering between his hands.

Lu Ming knew very well that for a Demon King of the Red Scale Snake Matriarch's Rank, only by going all out could he condense a power capable of threatening a Demon King.

As almost all the True Qi in his Dantian was drawn out, streaks of Fire Evil Yuan Bombs appeared around Lu Ming. A desolate Qi spread out. While everyone's gaze was focused on Wu Mingjian and the Red Scale Snake Matriarch, they suddenly sensed an unusual Qi interjecting. Everyone looked over in unison.

Immediately after, they witnessed a scene they would never forget: hundreds of blood orbs, imbued with dense blood Evil Qi, floated around Lu Ming. And as that power converged to its extreme, everyone felt a terrifying, suffocating fluctuation.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Ming raised his hand and waved. The sky-filling Fire Evil Yuan Bombs broke through the Void Realm, fiercely blasting towards the Red Scale Snake Matriarch's massive snake body.

Under Lu Ming's command, each Fire Evil Yuan Bomb was comparable to a giant boulder. When the Red Scale Snake Matriarch sensed the threat from the side and looked back, those Fire Evil Yuan Bombs had already crashed down.

Boom boom boom... Successive explosions echoed across the sky. As the Fire Evil Yuan Bombs, containing the power of desolation, detonated, scorching flames swept out like a tornado.

And the thrashing snake tail was also blocked by this violent power. In the continuous bombardment, the scorching flames actually broke through the blood Evil Demonic Qi condensed by the Red Scale Snake Matriarch.

"Good opportunity!" Wu Mingjian's eyes lit up. The next second, he transformed into a golden stream of light and charged directly towards the Red Scale Snake Matriarch.

Golden light shone. As True Qi was infused, the chilling Sword Intent contained within the Golden Rainbow longsword was released in an instant. Looking up at the sky, in just the blink of an eye, the golden light transformed into a light sword more than ten zhang tall, crashing down with the force of a thunderbolt.

Having just escaped the harassment of the Fire Evil Yuan Bombs, the Red Scale Snake Matriarch again felt a fatal threat from above. At this moment, it was already too late for her to condense True Qi again.

The giant golden sword crashed down. The chilling Sword Qi fell like rain onto the Red Scale Snake Matriarch's body. Her hard snake scales were as fragile as tofu, directly torn open with cracks.

The Red Scale Snake Matriarch had no time to escape, and the golden giant sword directly severed her massive head. A large amount of fresh blood gushed out like a spring.

Her Qi gradually dissipated. In the surrounding ruins, the Red Scale Snake Matriarch's huge snake body seemed to have lost its vitality, becoming completely still.
