534: Playing knife with me? You almost did it!

"Ah! Ah!"

In a flash of lightning, Lihua Sect, caught off guard, was utterly unable to defend against Shen Bei's vicious assault. He instantly lost an arm, and his desperate screams, as he rapidly retreated, pierced the sky.

Although Lihua Sect's Realm was a step higher than Shen Bei's.

Shen Bei loved to challenge those of higher Realms!

Whether it was slaying a Great Cultivator of Divine Power Realm or battling the current Martial God rank Lihua Sect, once the fight began, the combat power Shen Bei could unleash was absolutely terrifying!

Lihua Sect hadn't expected Shen Bei to not only attack him but also to employ such an eerie blade technique. He had originally thought he had Shen Bei in his grasp and could easily avenge Hong Long. He had no regard or preparation for Shen Bei in his heart, and with his mind set against an unsuspecting opponent, he was heavily injured on their first encounter.

"Martial God? And you dare provoke me?!"

Shen Bei roared with laughter, his eyes filled with twisted and cruel delight after his successful strike. He pressed his advantage, his blade vibrating, and an eerie, blood-freezing gleam and hum erupted once more, like lightning tearing through the Void Realm, striking again at Lihua Sect's other arm!

Clang!

At that moment, a blade with a flowing pattern on its surface swept in from an incredible angle to his side, blocking Shen Bei's relentless, vicious strike at the last second.

At the same time, another Martial God, Huang Du, let out a low growl:

"Arrogant!"

However, Shen Bei was now more intrigued by his warning glance. He met Huang Du's gaze calmly, a provocative curve forming on his lips as he casually remarked, "Good things come in pairs!"

Huang Du's gaze was sharp as an eagle's, and he said sinisterly, "How bold!"

How could he not understand? "Good things come in pairs" meant Shen Bei intended to deal with him as well!

Damn it!

If two Martial Gods couldn't kill a ninth-rank Cultivator like him, how could they continue to make a living in the Imperial City in the future!

Shen Bei had no intention of stopping. The blade shadows in his hand were like fleeting illusions, traceless, furiously attacking the obstructing Huang Du. His speed was so immense that the trajectory of his blade swings was completely indiscernible, with only the clanging of metal and the sharp shockwaves of Qi sweeping and exploding all around.

As Huang Du, who specialized in blade techniques, became increasingly familiar with Shen Bei's eerie blade art.

The more he looked, the more it resembled a forgotten, dead technique gathering dust in a corner.

"Could this be... the Instant Prison Starfall Twin Blade Style?"

Huang Du couldn't help but be startled.

How could it be!

How could anyone Cultivate this dead technique?

Incredible!

Truly incredible!

After only a few breaths, although Huang Du's defense was perilous, he managed to temporarily block the aggressive Shen Bei.

And even though they tried to suppress their movements during their clash, the commotion was still astonishing, clearly audible even a hundred meters away. Thus, on both sides of the wide Dao, on the windows of the surrounding shops and buildings, countless figures of other races had appeared at some unknown point, watching in shock and discussing:

"Is that... a Night Watcher?"

"Why are they fighting?"

"I know, I know, it must be to catch a cuckold! Hahahahaha!"

"To dare to fight in the Imperial City, these people are too bold!"

"Tsk tsk, who is that person with a severed arm? Is he the adulterer?"

In a short time, the onlookers recognized Shen Bei's identity and, incidentally, guessed the reason, each one appearing to be gloating and delighted.

"You bastard..."

At this moment, Lihua Sect, his body covered in blood from his severed arm, his face as pale as a corpse, pushed away his other subordinates who were blocking his way and said with a ferocious expression:

"Kill, I want you dead..."

But then.

Lihua Sect suddenly leaped backward. In Shen Bei's eyes, this action made him think that Lihua Sect, this other race person, was putting on a show, feigning an attack to the east while striking to the west, intending to escape.

At this very moment.

Lihua Sect not only did not escape but instead pressed down with one hand in mid-air.

However, Shen Bei did not clearly see Lihua Sect's movement; instead, he focused his gaze.

If he remembered correctly... Huang Du had been standing in front of him with a long blade just now.

Now... just as Lihua Sect made a move to attract his attention, he had vanished!

Shen Bei's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

It seemed a bit troublesome.

Were the two Martial Gods getting serious?

Just in this brief moment.

Crash!

A deafening, violent sound erupted above Shen Bei's head, the sound of a roaring wind exploding! It was as if, in an instant, more than a dozen intensely condensed, dark-red streaks of light, emanating a destructive Aura, surged down from the half-mountain, like world-ending fiery meteors, covering all possible escape routes for Shen Bei, front, back, left, and right!

These streaks of light were like real meteors, their speed reaching an extreme. The moment they appeared, it was as if the temperature in the street rapidly increased out of thin air, filled with a chilling Aura, causing even Shen Bei's expression to change slightly in an instant.

Boom boom boom!

The next moment, terrifying, all-consuming dark-red flames covered an area of several tens of meters in front of the street entrance. The ground shook and undulated wildly, towering flames and thick smoke surged into the sky, and oppressive heat waves, like hundreds and thousands of monstrous beasts, roared, swept, and trampled in all directions!

It was clearly visible that where the dark-red flames covered, heat waves rolled, the ground was scorched black, and large sections of road stones, after some kind of burning, had actually turned into a magma-like swampy area!

The nerves, conducted by electricity, reacted in a tenth of a second. Shen Bei, at the critical moment, flashed away from the area enveloped by the destructive red light and abruptly looked up.

But he saw Lihua Sect's cold, dark-red figure looking down at him indifferently.

"What's the point?"

Just then.

A section of bricks on the Dao beneath Shen Bei's feet suddenly exploded, and a strange figure, holding an unusual curved blade covered in flowing patterns, its eyes glinting with cruel light, suddenly struck with a blade. A dazzling, dream-like blade light, accompanied by a dizzying hum, surged forth like the first ray of sunlight cutting through the night sky, instantly stealing all the brilliance from the world!

This strike, its power erupting suddenly and unseen, sent alarm bells ringing in Shen Bei's heart, and in an instant, he recognized this strong figure, erupting in a surprise attack, as none other than Huang Du!

"How bold! You still dare to ambush me!"

Shen Bei suddenly let out a thunderous roar that shook the heavens.

Damn it.

Lihua Sect's inexplicable outburst, and Huang Du resorting to a sneak attack.

Is this what a Martial God is?

As expected of Hong Long's subordinates, they're all damn lunatics!

It's meaningless!

Facing Huang Du's sneak attack, Shen Bei directly threw his long blade into his Storage Ring.

This was a naked display of contempt and insult towards Huang Du, a complete disregard!

You use a blade? I specifically won't use a blade to fight you!

In a flash of lightning, Shen Bei raised his hand and threw a punch!

Rumble!

Shen Bei's punch was as if the sky and earth were enraged, the deafening thunder rumbling, causing the street within a hundred-meter radius to tremble. Fierce punch pressure and surging electric light instantly shattered the air layer by layer, forming a pure white pillar of lightning, which violently blasted out like an electromagnetic pulse!

At this moment, the thunder and electric light surged forth, and even Huang Du, who had launched such a vicious attack, instantly felt a compressive tightness in the air, making it difficult to breathe. At the same time, a surging, domineering destructive Aura rushed towards him like a tsunami, causing even him to feel a momentary shock.
