201: Do you really want to die?

'There are too many people in the bustling market; making a move now might attract the Profound Cave Saint Race…'

Gu Changsheng had heard that the red-robed Devilish Woman before him was precisely Yuan Mo's daughter, the City Lord of this city.

'Later tonight, when the moon is dark and the wind is high, it won't be too late to act.

Perfect, my Devilish crystals are all used up. I'll just borrow some from this woman…'

Clap—

A long whip cracked in the air, echoing through the clouds.

The red-robed Devilish Woman said coldly, "What are you pondering, kid?"

Immediately after, she showed a lustful gaze: "Don't worry, tonight, this young mistress will take good care of you."

Gu Changsheng's face twitched, and goosebumps rose on his skin.

It was the first time he had seen an almost lewd, crude man's demeanor and expression on a beautiful woman's face.

Suddenly, Devilish Qi surged in the Void Realm, casting a huge shadow that covered the entire city.

A colossal lava head appeared in the sky, with scorching magma dripping from its cheeks, falling into the city like a meteor shower of fire.

The aura was astonishing, clearly that of a Profound Cave Great Saint.

"This aura… it's the old monster Yan Mo…"

"Has he gone mad? This is Yuan Du City. Does this person intend to go to war with the City Lord?"

"How dare a mere Loose Cultivator challenge Lord Yuan Mo, who ranks among the top five under Saint Ancestor Mie Fan."

Passersby exclaimed in shock.

The red-robed Devilish Woman's expression changed, her brows furrowed, as if she had thought of something.

At this moment, the lava head in the sky declared: "Yuan Cha, to cultivate your Cha Devilish Great Dao, you forcibly abducted my only Bloodline descendant.

Even if Yuan Mo were here today, he wouldn't stop me!"

Rumble—

Black clouds rolled, accompanied by a sky full of fire rain and meteorites. A pair of giant hands covered in lava patterns descended, their terrifying aura shaking the city's protective Formation, threatening to break it.

"Father, save me!" Yuan Cha cried out in terror, fleeing for her life.

Whoosh—

A hazy mystical light rose from deep within the city, directly blocking the descending giant lava hands.

"Lava… My daughter was in the wrong first. This Lord is willing to offer you a melting essence mine as compensation, how about it?"

The mystical light converged, forming the appearance of a middle-aged man in light armor with long, flowing hair.

"Compensation? How difficult is it for my Lava Race to propagate our Bloodline… A mere melting essence mine… Haha, Yuan Mo, I heard you are one of the top five fierce generals under Mie Fan.

Today, this Lord shall seek a challenge."

Rumble—

The might shook the heavens, and a lava giant spewing sulfurous black smoke emerged from among the black clouds.

"Alas…"

Yuan Mo sighed lightly, his figure suddenly expanding and shooting into the Void Realm.

The aftershocks of the two sides' battle reverberated all around, with giant lava meteorites occasionally falling into the city, causing widespread chaos.

"Ah…"

The stall owner, who had been smoking a dry pipe, fell to the ground, as a massive lava shadow rapidly descended.

Bang—

A simple, unadorned hand reached out, clenched into a fist, and turned bronze in color.

With one strike, the lava meteorite shattered into pieces, which exploded in all directions.

Gu Changsheng showed an innocent smile to the stall owner: "Fellow Daoist, I saved you, so you should give me some reward, right?"

He gestured towards the ice flower with his chin.

Who knew the stall owner's expression would change.

"What reward? This lava meteorite covered such a large area, you couldn't have escaped either.

It was merely an act of self-preservation. How can you have the audacity to demand a reward from me?"

Instantly, Gu Changsheng's smile froze on his face.

Bang—

With a punch, the head of the stall owner, who had been smoking a dry pipe, exploded, and foul blood splattered onto Gu Changsheng's face.

"There are truly people in this world who value money more than their lives… Did he perhaps think that the rule against fighting in this city could restrain me, and thus felt emboldened?"

Gu Changsheng coldly flicked his sleeve, collecting all the items on the stall into his Storage Pouch.

Of course, he didn't forget to loot the corpse.

Turning his head, he saw continuous cries and sounds of plunder, black Devilish flames burning, and wooden structures collapsing.

He vaguely saw many Incarnations of the Saint Race Cultivators entering the city's shops, plundering wantonly.

In just a few breaths, the entire Yuan Du City descended into chaos.

"Perhaps… this is the true face of the Saint Realm…"

The strong prey on the weak, survival of the fittest.

Even if powerful Saint Race Cultivators established cities and restrained lower-level Cultivators, once there was any disturbance, the true nature of the Saint Race would still be exposed.

"However, this suits my intentions right now…"

The corner of Gu Changsheng's mouth curved upward, and he transformed into a mystical light, escaping into the city's largest spirit shop.

Bang, bang, bang—

Dozens of Saint Race bodies exploded. The plundering Saint Race members looked in horror at the blood mist, from which a figure slowly emerged, adorned with dozens of bulging Storage Pouches.

"That's enough… I must leave quickly before Yuan Mo determines a victor…"

Gu Changsheng stomped his foot, and his figure, like a swimming fish, darted towards the teleportation Formation in the center of the city.

At this moment, many panicked Saint Race members were throwing Devilish crystals, attempting to teleport away and escape the disaster.

"Get lost!"

Gu Changsheng raised a palm, and the terrifying force instantly caused the Saint Race members in a straight line ahead to explode, brutally clearing a bloody path through the crowd.

"Such powerful Body Refining…"

"Senior, please…"

The Saint Race members who had been fighting for the teleportation Formation all retreated three paces.

'Indeed, a bigger fist is the hard truth…' Gu Changsheng took a step forward, throwing twenty High Grade Devilish crystals, which accurately landed in the teleportation nodes.

Vast Devilish Qi was drawn away, and the surrounding teleportation Formation emitted a hazy mystical light. The space seemed to melt, gradually moving away.

Suddenly, a delicate shout came from afar.

"The male favorite this young mistress has taken a fancy to, don't even think about escaping!"

A long whip lashed out, directly aiming for the Formation nodes.

If it connected, the teleportation Formation would likely be destroyed.

Gu Changsheng's face darkened; in his vision was the red-robed Devilish Woman.

"Do you really want to die that badly…"

His aura was no longer concealed; black Qi surged, rising steadily.

A hand as clear as jade reached out, firmly grasping the long whip.

"A Profound Cave Great Saint!"

"It's actually a Great Cultivator!"

Passersby exclaimed in shock.

In an instant, the red-robed Devilish Woman's face turned ashen, as if she had seen a ghost, and she fled for her life.

"Can you escape…"

Gu Changsheng suddenly exerted force in his hand, and the surging power spread along the long whip, sweeping through the Void Realm.

Clap—

A loud crack of the whip echoed through the clouds. In the shadow of the setting sun, a shapely figure was whipped into two sections by the long whip, and foul blood splattered onto the city wall.

"She's dead! The City Lord's daughter is dead!"

"Oh no!"

The Saint Race members who had been watching the show all changed their expressions dramatically.

Rumble—

The Void Realm trembled, and a furious roar, like a great bell, resounded.

"Thief! How dare you kill my Bloodline descendant! Come to your death!"

"Haha, excellent! Yuan Mo, you have this day too!

This Lord is here today; I'd like to see how you will get past me to kill that Fellow Daoist."

The Void Realm vibrated, and violent explosions spread. From the aftershocks, it was clear that the two were truly fighting with full force.

Gu Changsheng's face was expressionless.

At this moment, the surrounding scenery rapidly receded, and space was changing at an extreme speed.

After a few breaths.

Gu Changsheng opened his eyes and stepped out of the teleportation Formation.

Towering bluestone city walls, and pedestrians coming and going.

In stark contrast to the chaos of Yuan Du City, this place was peaceful.

"Black Flame City, huh…"

Clap—

Gu Changsheng extended a palm, and the terrifying force instantly shattered a corner of the teleportation Formation.

"This way, that Yuan Mo won't be able to catch up in a short time…"

Suddenly, his bracelet flashed, and a light dot appeared in his mind.

Gu Changsheng showed a strange expression.

Ling Xuzi was also in this city.
