234: Fighting the Black Rhino King

The Black Rhino Demon King exuded a fierce Demonic Qi, and the rolling blood mist enveloped its surroundings, making its massive body appear even more terrifying.

Upon sensing the terrifying Qi fluctuations, the Demon Slayer Guards behind Lu Ming all tensed up. They were not even at the Limit Realm, and facing a Dao Realm Demon King directly brought immense pressure upon them.

Just looking at that terrifying figure made their bodies tense and tremble uncontrollably.

At this moment, Wu Lei finally reacted. He realized that if Lu Ming hadn't pulled him back just now, he would probably have been smashed to pieces like the stone ground, becoming a puddle of flesh on the ground.

"Leave here quickly; the coming battle is not something you can interfere with," Lu Ming said coldly, his gaze grave as he looked at the demon emerging from the large pit.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Wu Lei's eyes, but he also knew that he and his men would only be a burden to Lord Lu if they stayed. He then whispered, "Understood!"

With that, he immediately led the dozens of Demon Slayer Guards behind him to retreat from the street.

The Black Rhino Demon King paid no attention to the retreat of Wu Lei's group of Demon Suppression Division Martial Artists.

In its opinion, even if all those dozens of Demon Slayer Guards were devoured, the accumulated Blood Qi would not be even one-tenth of Lu Ming's in front of him.

"So it was you who killed the Golden-Winged Roc, was it? I originally thought some Demon Suppression General was stationed here, but it turns out to be a mere youngster," the Black Rhino Demon King said contemptuously.

It could sense the Qi fluctuations emanating from Lu Ming's body, which were merely at the Middle Stage of the Dao Realm. Perhaps it could deal with the Golden-Winged Roc, but trying to contend with him was simply a pipe dream.

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes, looking at the rhino demon exuding a dangerous Aura. He could sense that the opponent was at the Late Stage of the Dao Realm.

However, even so, Lu Ming felt no fear in his heart. Instead, a strong Battle Intent appeared in his eyes, eager to fight it.

Neither slaying the Azure Flood Dragon nor eliminating the Golden-Winged Roc had pushed Lu Ming to his limit or tested his true strength. Today was a good opportunity to use this Black Rhino Demon King to test his blade and see what level his strength had truly reached.

His palm pressed against the cold, gleaming blade. As if sensing the Battle Intent emanating from Lu Ming's body, or perhaps smelling the rich Demonic Qi in front of him, the blood-red patterns on the Po Jun Long Saber flashed with light, as if eager to drink the demon's blood.

"You want to kill me?" The Black Rhino noticed the gradually sharpening Aura on Lu Ming's body. He immediately understood the opponent's intention, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

A mere Middle Stage Dao Realm dared to contend with him? Did he really think that slaying the Golden-Winged Roc meant he could harm him?

That Golden-Winged Roc was just a wild demon with Bloodline but no Legacy. How could it compare to him?

"What do you think?" Lu Ming responded coldly.

The moment the words fell, a sound of breaking air rang out. Lu Ming leaped, transforming into a streak of light, and charged towards the Black Rhino Demon.

Seeing Lu Ming attack, the Black Rhino Demon King showed no panic. He sneered, put away the Demon Summoning Banner bestowed by his Young Lord, and the next second, red light appeared around his body, and a Spirit Armor materialized on his skin.

The armor was dark red overall, with an ancient and heavy texture, as solid as copper and iron. Upon closer inspection, each piece was engraved with intricate runes, and evil red light flickered in the gaps, instantly changing the Aura emanating from the Black Rhino.

Lu Ming swung the long saber fiercely. As vast True Qi poured into it, the blade became even sharper, and the scorching blood-fire climbed onto it like a fiery snake. The surroundings immediately became filled with rolling heat waves, and the air temperature suddenly rose.

In just an instant, Lu Ming, stepping through the Void Realm and attacking like lightning, appeared before the Black Rhino.

The long saber in his hand hummed, then suddenly struck down.

The Black Rhino was indeed a Late Stage Dao Realm Demon King. Upon sensing the surging power contained in this strike, he frowned and reacted extremely quickly, stepping forward. His thick foot stomped heavily on the ground, and his arms blocked in front. At this moment, the runes on the Spirit Armor flashed with light, forcefully blocking Lu Ming's saber strike.

The blade and the Spirit Armor clashed, emitting a piercing metallic sound. Accompanied by flying sparks, the Black Rhino's heavy body was actually shaken, sliding back and leaving two indentations.

"You dare to damage my Spirit Treasure," the Black Rhino steadied his footing. He looked down at the struck location, his face instantly darkening.

At the spot where the long saber struck, a deep indentation had appeared on the heavy armor plate. Even with the runes engraved on it functioning, such an effect was still produced, which made the Black Rhino instantly realize the extraordinary nature of the opponent's long saber.

"A High Grade Spirit Treasure, very good. After I eat you, I can also get a handy weapon," a hint of greed flashed in the Black Rhino's eyes, as even he didn't have many High Grade Spirit Treasures.

Without hesitation, the Black Rhino launched an attack. His muscular arm swung, and his fist, as large as a sandbag, smashed over. This punch carried incredibly powerful force, seemingly intent on shattering everything that stood in its way.

After all, he was a Demon King at the Late Stage of the Dao Realm. Although Lu Ming had pushed the Dragon Elephant Mountain-Suppressing Skill to its Limit Realm and was confident that his strength was not inferior to the demon in front of him, he still cautiously dodged aside.

Executing his movement technique, Lu Ming narrowly shifted half a body length at the last second before the heavy punch struck, avoiding the blow amidst the whistling gale.

The Black Rhino Demon King clearly had no intention of letting Lu Ming go. Although he appeared massive, he showed no signs of clumsiness.

His left leg, like a pillar, swept across with a furious, gale-like force. He was confident that this strike would be impossible for the opponent to avoid.

With cold eyes, Lu Ming watched the sweeping gale. As the sweeping kick was about to connect, his mind stirred, and his body actually transformed into a shadow, once again narrowly dodging the attack.

"Do you only know how to dodge?" the Black Rhino roared, somewhat annoyed.

He hadn't expected the opponent's movements to be so agile, and that the Cultivation method could even allow him to transform into a shadow to avoid his attacks, which inevitably made him feel impatient.

Amidst his roar, he raised his hand to grab, Blood Qi gathering in his palm. At the same time, a profound pressure erupted from his body, instantly enveloping Lu Ming. In the Black Rhino's view, as long as he could land a single blow, this slender human Martial Artist in front of him would no longer have any power to resist.

Shadows enveloped his entire body. Lu Ming looked up. The fierce Qi covered the surroundings. Looking at the Black Rhino, who was grinning sinisterly and charging at him with an imposing Aura, there was no panic in his eyes, as if everything was under his control.
