241: Demon Kunwu
The turbulent floodwaters below surged into the distance, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, the surrounding small mountains were submerged by the raging waters.
A cold wind howled overhead, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Lu Ming's eyes narrowed as he looked at the two demons before him. With his keen perception, he knew that both were Late Stage Dao Realm cultivators, but compared to the two, the demon named Kunwu was undoubtedly far more dangerous.
Buzz!
A flash of light appeared as Lu Ming's thoughts stirred. He took out the po jun blade from the purple-gold pouch at his waist, and an incomparably sharp aura emanated from his body.
Pulling off the black cloth wrapped around the long saber, which was filled with Evil Qi, Lu Ming caressed the cold blade and responded coldly, "Dead men? It's not yet certain who will perish here today."
Seeing the purple-gold pouch, the Elephant Demon beside him couldn't hold back. Its eyes were filled with rage as it spoke in a deep voice, "It was indeed you who killed Black Rhino! What big words, daring to speak to the Young Lord like that! I'll break your spirit first."
A powerful demonic force erupted from its body. As a roar echoed through the sky, even the surrounding space vibrated.
The next second, the Elephant Demon charged forward with a violent force. Its thick palm gathered demonic energy, and as it slammed down, a small mountain constructed of demonic energy suddenly condensed in the sky, tearing through the air and emitting bursts of sonic booms as it rapidly descended.
Seeing this, Lu Ming didn't hesitate. He swung the Po Jun Long Saber in his hand, and the sharp Blade Aura gathered on the blade condensed into a crescent shape. The moment the white light within it reached its peak, a Blade Aura over ten zhang long shot out.
Boom!
A deafening sound came from high above. The moment the white Blade Aura collided with the small mountain formed by demonic energy, a surging aura, like a tidal wave, swept in all directions.
The base of the small mountain quickly developed spiderweb-like cracks, and then shattered rapidly.
Affected by the residual shockwave, the Elephant Demon's downward charge abruptly stalled. However, it quickly stabilized itself and pounced at Lu Ming again.
Its bulky body charged against the strong wind. With every step it took, a rapidly swirling current of Qi formed around it. In terms of speed, it was even faster than Black Rhino, appearing before Lu Ming in the blink of an eye.
A punch suddenly shot out, and terrifying power surged from within it.
Reflecting the demon-powered heavy punch in his pupils, Lu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly. He did not choose to meet it head-on, but instead dodged with his movement technique.
After barely evading the incoming heavy punch, Lu Ming stared at the Elephant Demon, which now had an opening. He stomped his foot, leaping into the sky, then raised his long saber, and the surging blood-fire on the blade swept out.
Twisting his body, the Po Jun Long Saber tore through the Void Realm and slashed down fiercely. The blade, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, struck directly at the Elephant Demon's head.
The Elephant Demon let out a low growl, and its huge trunk swept out like a whip, colliding with the incoming long saber.
This elephant trunk, tempered by demonic energy, was even as tough as a High Grade Magical Artifact. Coupled with the demonic energy condensed within it, it seemed very confident that it could block this blow.
Pfft!
Flesh was torn. The sharp blade of the Po Jun Long Saber directly sliced off a good portion of the elephant's trunk cleanly. Along with splashing blood, which scattered in mid-air, the intense pain made the Elephant Demon let out a mournful wail.
Its eyes looked in terror at the extremely indifferent young man before it. The power contained in the blade's edge was clearly beyond its expectations.
Suddenly, it felt a scorching energy condensing before it. Lu Ming's raised left hand had, at some unknown point, condensed a flickering blood-fire at his fingertips. Vast True Qi surged from his Dantian, and a scorching wave of Qi swept out.
"Burning Sun Finger!" Lu Ming let out a low shout. The flame between his fingers suddenly erupted, transforming into a surging pillar of fire that tore through the Void Realm and slammed towards the Elephant Demon.
The blood-colored pillar of fire emitted a terrifying aura that seemed to destroy everything, as if it would burn everything in its path to ashes. Wherever the pillar of fire passed, rolling heat waves surged out.
Seeing this, a hint of terror appeared in the Elephant Demon's eyes. It unleashed another technique, opening its large mouth and spewing out a large amount of black smoke, attempting to use this method to block the pillar of fire's assault.
However, the moment the blood-fire collided with the black smoke, it was directly pierced through. Unable to dodge in time, the blood-colored pillar of fire directly engulfed its entire body.
The blood-fire flickered, and the black figure within the flames twisted and struggled, emitting bursts of mournful howls.
Lu Ming watched indifferently as the Elephant Demon was engulfed in the sea of fire. As the opponent tried to rush out, he stepped on the Void Realm and swung the long saber in his hand, striking down!
The Elephant Demon had not expected Lu Ming's speed to be so fast. Having just rushed out of the sea of fire, it was filled with terror. What met its eyes was a long saber descending from the air, its blade shimmering with a chilling cold light, incomparably sharp. Its heart instantly turned cold.
Just as the long saber was about to strike the Elephant Demon's neck, a dazzling purple light suddenly enveloped Lu Ming.
Lu Ming looked down. White smoke suddenly emerged from the surface of his skin, followed by a green light that quickly appeared on Lu Ming's body, blocking the purple light.
Feeling the astonishing corrosive power contained within it, Lu Ming shifted his feet and quickly retreated.
"Thank you, Young Lord, for saving me!" The disheveled Elephant Demon, seeing Kunwu make a move, gasped for breath and spoke with a look of extreme apprehension in its eyes.
Kunwu, dressed in black, glanced at him coldly. He then put away the bronze mirror in his hand and snorted, "Useless thing. If I hadn't acted, that one strike would have left you severely injured even if you didn't die. You can't even deal with a human Martial Artist, truly trash."
The Elephant Demon meekly lowered its head. Although unwilling, it dared not offer any rebuttal.
No longer looking at the Elephant Demon, Kunwu stared at Lu Ming in front of him. The corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards, and a look of interest appeared in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that after Jiang Mingyue, Yunzhou could produce another true Genius. You are very good, but it's limited to that. After all, compared to this Young Lord, you are but a tiny speck of dust." Kunwu spoke unhurriedly, as if Lu Ming's previous combat performance was nothing in his eyes.
"Do you only know how to talk nonsense?" Lu Ming pointed his saber forward and said coldly.
A hint of anger appeared in Kunwu's eyes. He said sharply, "Since you are in such a hurry to die, then I will grant your wish. I will devour your flesh and blood little by little, and you will become the nourishment for me to become stronger."
As he spoke, crimson blood-Qi wrapped around Kunwu's palms from his arms. Under the shroud of the blood mist, Kunwu's entire aura became incredibly sinister. He stared at Lu Ming in front of him, and a dense killing intent overflowed from his pupils.
