269: First Battle in the Demon Realm

Under Xiao Zhuo's hood, his silver eyebrows subtly furrowed. Trouble, it seemed, had finally come knocking.

His original intention was to observe discreetly, adapt to the environment of Black Edge Fortress as quickly as possible, and avoid becoming a focal point upon his arrival. He certainly didn't want to expose too much of his strength and attract unnecessary attention.

"Not interested," Xiao Zhuo's voice emerged from beneath his hood, low and calm, without the slightest ripple, as if Hei Fang Luowu was pointing a withered branch at him, not a ferocious Demonic Saber.

This extremely flat response, amidst the oppressive silence and Hei Fang Luowu's fierce pressure, sounded particularly jarring.

In the Demon Abyss army camp, which revered strength and respected the powerful, this was almost tantamount to blatant contempt.

"Not interested?" Hei Fang Luowu's visible main head instantly engorged with blood, his six eyes red as if they would drip blood. A sinister grin spread across his lips, revealing pale fangs. "I think you're scared! A rat hiding his head and tail, worthy of joining my Demon Army? Get out here and die!"

Before his words even finished, the black stone ground beneath him, hard as Profound Demon iron, exploded!

His massive body, like a giant rock hurled from a trebuchet, shrieked as it tore through the air. The serrated Demonic Saber "Black Hell" in his hand ignited with towering Demonic Flame, transforming into a destructive black streak that cleaved directly towards the head beneath Xiao Zhuo's hood!

This strike was devoid of any fancy moves, a pure explosion of power and speed, aiming to split Xiao Zhuo in two!

Before the saber's edge even arrived, the ferocious Saber Intent and scorching Demonic Flame had already distorted the space around Xiao Zhuo. Spectators who were a little too close retreated in horror.

"Alas," a barely audible sigh echoed in Xiao Zhuo's heart.

If he couldn't avoid it, then he would fight!

Just as the saber's edge was about to touch his hood, Xiao Zhuo's figure rippled eerily, like a reflection in water disturbed by a thrown stone, leaving only a faint afterimage of a black robe in his original spot.

"Screech!" The Demonic Saber slashed through the afterimage, carving a bottomless, charred gully into the ground.

"Hmm?" Hei Fang Luowu's strike missed, and his fierce pupils suddenly constricted.

What an elusive movement technique!

Xiao Zhuo's figure, like a ghost, had already appeared several feet behind Hei Fang Luowu's side.

He still hadn't revealed his true face, and his black robe was completely undamaged, but the Aura around him was no longer fully restrained. A wave of energy, carrying a bloody Evil Qi, spread out—it was the Aura of the Law of Blood he wielded.

"Spatial footwork? Interesting!" Hei Fang Luowu sneered, his massive body displaying a flexibility unsuited to its size. With a furious spin, all six of his arms moved in unison!

Aside from the main arm holding the saber, the other two previously illusory arms instantly solidified for the most part, clenching into hammer-like fists, carrying mountain-shattering power, and smashed fiercely at Xiao Zhuo's temples, one from the left and one from the right!

At the same time, the serrated Demonic Saber Black Hell swept horizontally again, blocking his retreat!

The innate Divine Ability of Three Heads and Six Arms began to show its power!

Xiao Zhuo's eyes narrowed slightly.

Universe God Step moved again, his figure like a butterfly flitting through flowers, narrowly weaving through the gaps between the fist winds and saber shadows.

He did not retaliate, only constantly dodged and parried. Having just entered the Eternal Calamity Demon Army, he was unwilling to display his full strength, only fighting by wielding the Law of Blood.

As his hands moved, dense blood-colored mist materialized out of thin air, forming blood shields or blood whips and blood spears, colliding and annihilating Hei Fang Luowu's furious attacks.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Screech—!"

Fist winds roared like thunder, saber light tore through the air, and blood mist exploded!

Each collision unleashed astonishing energy impacts, plowing large cracks into the hard ground of the training ground.

Xiao Zhuo's movement technique was elusive, and his Law of Blood was ever-changing. Sometimes it was tough defense, sometimes soft redirection of force, sometimes tricky counterattacks, actually defending flawlessly against Hei Fang Luowu's storm-like offensive.

Even occasional counterattacking blood whips struck Hei Fang Luowu's obsidian-like skin, and though they failed to break through his defense, they left glaring burn marks, causing him to roar repeatedly.

"You're just a slippery loach that only knows how to dodge!" The more Hei Fang Luowu fought, the more frustrated he became, his rage completely igniting his ferocity.

He, a dignified Profound Demon of the Black Demon Clan, a fierce general who charged into battle on the battlefield, was actually entangled to this extent by a guy who dared not show his face and had a strange Aura, unable to break through his defense for a long time! This was simply a great humiliation!

"Show yourself!" Hei Fang Luowu let out a sky-shattering roar, and the Demonic Markings all over his body intensely wriggled like living things, glowing with dazzling purplish-black light!

The other two illusory heads behind him suddenly solidified! Twelve newly formed eyes opened simultaneously, shooting out violent red light!

At the same time, the remaining two arms also fully materialized from illusion, and all six muscular, scale-covered arms stretched out!

Three Heads and Six Arms, complete form!

A terrifying Aura, like a tangible shockwave, boomed outwards, forcing the surrounding spectators back several steps again!

Six arms, some holding sabers, some clenching fists, some forming claws, some making hand seals, six different powerful Demonic Techniques simultaneously brewing, a destructive Aura firmly locking onto Xiao Zhuo!

"Six Arms · Black Demon Shattering Prison!"

Six streams of violent Demonic Energy, imbued with different attributes, tore through space from six tricky and fatal angles, like six roaring Dragons, instantly sealing off all of Xiao Zhuo's dodging space! This was a certain death situation!

The look in Xiao Zhuo's eyes beneath his hood finally turned completely cold. He had tolerated repeatedly, but this person was relentlessly aggressive.

Now, he even harbored killing intent, with every move being lethal. To hold back any longer would be cruel to himself.

"Courting death!"

A low, cold shout, like a chilling wind from the Nine Netherworlds, swept across the training ground.

Just as the six destructive Demonic Energies were about to strike him, an Aura of bloodlust far older, purer, and more domineering than the Law of Blood, like a slumbering primordial Vicious Beast suddenly awakening, erupted with a boom!

The ordinary black robe on Xiao Zhuo's body instantly shattered into dust, revealing a neat, close-fitting outfit underneath.

However, what was even more eye-catching was that his original silver hair, starting from the roots, became dyed a dazzling crimson at a visible speed!

A terrifying pressure originating from the Origin of life spread out—the Innate Blood God Body, activated!

A layer of ferocious blood god armor, flowing with dark red light and covered in mysterious divine patterns, instantly covered Xiao Zhuo's entire body! It was the blood god armor!

Above the armor, dark red flames burned silently. These flames were not scorching; instead, they carried an extreme chill that devoured life and defiled the Divine Soul—the God-Slaying Blood Flame!

Facing the strangulation of the six destructive Demonic Energies, Xiao Zhuo advanced instead of retreating!

He gave up dodging, and he also gave up fighting by transforming blood into weapons.

"Hmph!" With a low roar, Xiao Zhuo clenched his fists. On the blood god armor-covered fist, the God-Slaying Blood Flame burned fiercely!

He took a step, Universe God Step deployed again, moving so fast it was like teleportation, directly crashing into the center of the six Demonic Energies!

"Rumble—!!!"

A deafening explosion echoed throughout the entire training ground!

Violent energy currents swept out in all directions like an out-of-control tsunami!

However, in the center of the explosion, a dark red figure stood as unmoving as a reef!

Xiao Zhuo unleashed both fists, Blood Flame soaring to the sky!

His fists were a pure outpouring of power! Each punch contained terrifying Physical Body strength, imbued with the corrosive properties of the God-Slaying Blood Flame, directly clashing with Hei Fang Luowu's Six-Armed Demonic Technique!

"Bang! Crack!"

One punch shattered a Demonic Energy claw print!

"Boom! Screech—!"

Another punch, and the Blood Flame directly devoured a Demonic Energy beam!

"Puff!"

The third punch, as fast as lightning, passed through a gap in the defense and slammed heavily into the joint of one of Hei Fang Luowu's arms!

A bone-chilling sound of bone cracking rang out!

The obsidian-like arm, covered with fine scales, was actually bent and deformed, scales shattering, Demonic Blood splashing, under the burning of the God-Slaying Blood Flame and the terrifying immense force of the Blood God Body!

The God-Slaying Blood Flame, like maggots on a bone, frantically drilled into the wound, burning flesh and blood, and eroding Demonic Origin!

"Ugh ah—!" Hei Fang Luowu let out a painful roar, his eyes filled with incredulous horror.

The opponent's Physical Body strength, that eerie flame, and that terrifying defense completely exceeded his comprehension!

Crushing! Pure crushing!

Xiao Zhuo, gaining the upper hand, pressed on relentlessly, his figure like a bloody ghost, clinging to him.

Fists, elbows, knees, shoulders... every part of his body became the most terrifying weapon, entwined with God-Slaying Blood Flame, pounding like a storm onto Hei Fang Luowu's massive body!

"Bang bang bang bang... Crack! Pfft!"

Dull thuds, bone-shattering sounds, and the sizzling of burning flesh and blood were incessant!

The terrifying Physical Body combined with the blood god armor's defense made Hei Fang Luowu's counterattacks feel like tickles, while every one of Xiao Zhuo's strikes carried destructive power!

Hei Fang Luowu's obsidian skin continuously cracked before the God-Slaying Blood Flame, Demonic Blood gushed out like a fountain, and was continuously eroded by the Blood Flame. His entire body's flesh and blood began to show signs of melting, like a burning candle!

His massive body was beaten back step by step, his three heads twisted in pain, his six arms parried clumsily, yet he was completely unable to stop Xiao Zhuo's furious offensive. The signs of defeat were evident, and he was on the verge of being blasted into smithereens!

"Enough!"

Just as Xiao Zhuo's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and a fatal punch imbued with God-Slaying Blood Flame was about to shatter Hei Fang Luowu's central main head, a cold, majestic voice, as if containing the Law of the Great Dao, like ten thousand years of cold ice, instantly froze the entire noisy training ground!

Time and space seemed to solidify at this moment.
