Chapter 946 - 766: Instant Kill

"What?!!"

The sudden change shocked everyone present.

Their gazes simultaneously focused on the silhouette of the newly appeared figure.

He wore plain gray short sleeves, appearing to be in his thirties with an extremely ordinary face, hardly noticeable among the crowd.

Only a pair of deep and bright eyes left a lasting impression, unforgettable at a glance.

Seeing this person’s face, almost everyone, both human and demon, turned pale as if they’d seen a ghost.

"This is... the Red Hero! Wasn’t he long dead??"

"Caught by the Celestial Abyss Consciousness and swept into the space turbulence. Even those at the peak of the Third Realm can’t return; how could he have survived!"

"The Red Hero really does have close ties with the Corpse-Driving Sect!"

Someone ’resurrected’ in people’s minds, it would be hard for anyone to remain calm.

"The Red Hero, the Red Hero is actually alive; I knew he wouldn’t die so easily!"

Within the Corpse-Driving Sect, the disciples were overjoyed.

Though the Red Hero outwardly claimed not to be part of the Corpse-Driving Sect, everyone knew of their close ties, almost inseparable, sharing both honor and disgrace.

Fans like Bi Yaoyao of the Red Hero were practically jumping and singing with joy.

Even the ice-cold beauty You Qingyi’s usually emotionless face was flushed with excitement.

Neither of them noticed.

Beside them, the always-expressionless Lou Er also suddenly raised his head.

His amber eyes turned blood-red, showing a touch of emotional change that only humans would have.

"The Red Hero is back; he’s here to help us!"

Originally at their limits, Daoist Cang Yu, Daoist Qingmu, Zheng Jingming, and others seemed to be infused with new energy, revitalizing, causing the demons of Cyan Wolf Ridge to frown deeply.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, he’s still alive, he’s really still alive..."

In Qingluan Palace, a noble and gentle female cultivator in blue, watching the scene in the water mirror, had tears of joy streaming from her eyes.

"Hahaha! Brother Shu, you truly have returned as a king!"

In a small courtyard of the Red Sun Sect, a tall female cultivator, with vivid red hair, laughed heartily with hands on her hips, drawing frequent looks from nearby sect mates.

"Merciful, merciful, the Red Hero, a blessed individual, even the endless space turbulence could not take him." Master Jingcheng of the Lotus Sect was equally full of admiration.

Of course, the reaction from the adversaries was starkly different.

"A Martial Artist at the peak of the Second Realm is merely coming to die." True Master Qiangu said disdainfully.

"Not so, the Red Hero once fought alone against the Great Demons of the Unihorned Ant clan in the Celestial Abyss.

Though disadvantaged, he held on for quite some time." Next to him, a master from the Liangyi Sect reminded.

Of course, his latest information was still from the battle on the First Layer of the Celestial Abyss.

In that battle, Lou Yi was severely beaten by the Great Demon Anran, with limbs torn off.

"This one is highly likely related to Weiyi’s death." Hua Baiyu, initially suspended in the void with eyes closed, suddenly opened them, a cold light flashing through.

The death of his direct disciple Fu Weiyi had been a persistent grief for him.

His investigations found ties to the Red Hero.

As for the Bee Demon that attacked Three Corpses Daoist just now, it was perplexed with flickering compound eyes.

"Second Realm?"

It knew better than anyone the power of that strike, which even fellow real masters of the same realm would find hard to block.

Yet, it was warded off effortlessly by a Second Realm Martial Artist.

Such a bizarre occurrence could not help but draw its attention.

Of course, it was only a slight notice, considering the disparity in realms.

Between the Second and Third Realm lay a vast chasm.

Even if Lou Yi had survived deadly battles with Great Demons, without personal experience, it would not dwell on it.

"Luck has kept you alive, now you stir trouble again; do you think you’ll be lucky every time? Utter foolishness!" The Great Demon of Wasp Valley sneered coldly.

Its tail began to tremble violently once more.

This time, dozens of tail stingers were buzzing, ready to strike!

Each stinger was equivalent to an attack-type Treasure Artifact.

Once released, they equated to dozens of attack-type Treasure Artifacts in synergy, with terrifying power, even the same realm Great Demons or Masters would avoid them.

’Swish swish swish swish!’

In the next moment, dozens of dazzling camo lights cut through the sky.

Creating long-lasting white imprints, causing the entire void to start constant rippling!

Most of these streaks targeted Lou Yi, with angles and directions varying, and a few directed at Three Corpses Daoist.

If Lou Yi dodged the attack, all the tail spikes would rush towards the Three Corpses Daoist.

"Not good, the Red Hero is in danger!"

Whether they were from the Corpse-Driving Sect or those who bore goodwill toward it, everyone frowned.

They saw through the malicious intention of the Bee Demon, clearly intending to force Lou Yi to take the hit head-on.

The appearance of Lou Yi was undoubtedly heartening.

But after all, he was just a Martial Artist at the Peak of the Second Realm.

In an instant, a large number of sharp, camouflaged luminous streams appeared in the void in front of Lou Yi, ready to pierce him entirely.

But contrary to expectations, Lou Yi gently stretched out a hand.

From each fingertip shot black threads, semi-transparent, material like solid glass fiber.

These black threads snaked quickly through the void like serpents.

Each one precisely blocked the path of the camouflaged luminous streams, wrapping, entangling, and binding them layer by layer.

The scene presented to everyone was that all of the Bee Demon’s camouflaged tail spikes were ensnared by Lou Yi’s special energy threads, bound in the void and unable to advance.

’Zzz!’

Moreover, these glass-fibrous energy threads revealed extraordinary sharpness.

They etched deep marks into the tail spikes and continued to slice inward.

Only a series of crisp ’crack-crack-crack’ sounds could be heard.

In the blink of an eye, these tail spikes were cut off one by one!

"Ah, I will kill you!" As Lou Yi destroyed all its tail spikes, the Bee Demon was infuriated to madness.

These tail spikes were part of its skeletal structure, and its crucial combat weapon.

With them all destroyed, its combat power plummeted exponentially.

Seeing Lou Yi looking over expressionlessly, the Bee Demon’s heart chilled, having the thought of fleeing.

However, how could Lou Yi allow it to escape?

With a flicker, he immediately flashed into a thousand-zhang area around the Bee Demon!

"Go!"

Seeing Lou Yi with such speed, the Bee Demon’s body involuntarily cooled.

A pair of colorful wings behind it started to flap, attempting to leave the spot.

But in the next moment.

Its speed suddenly decreased, as if someone had pressed the pause button, only crawling like a turtle.

A fist burning with intense black light continuously enlarged in its terrified compound eyes.

"Spare..."

’Smash!’

The massive Bee Demon, as large as several houses, instantly exploded into a blood-colored firework.

Flesh and blood rained down, even the Divine Soul disappeared in the same instant.

The Great Demon from Wasp Valley under the Southern Demon Kingdom’s influence, surprisingly wasn’t a match for this Second Realm Martial Artist even for a single round!

All the spectators fell into deep shock.

Before, Lou Yi could fight fiercely with Great Demons in the Celestial Abyss, albeit at a disadvantage and with extreme difficulty.

In less than two years, he could already instantly kill a Great Demon?

"The Red Hero, he came back to save us!"

"The Red Hero, he always creates miracles time and again!"

The disciples of the Corpse-Driving Sect were very moved, very excited.

And those Real Masters and Great Demons who had reached the Third Realm saw even more and were even more emotionally tumultuous.

"What are those black threads? Gang Qi? Or Profound Light?

I distinctly feel that this person has not yet stepped into the Third Realm, why is his energy so formidable?"

"He seems to have mastered the domain... all along, only those at the True Profound Realm level could possibly master it."

"A Martial Arts remnant comparable to the Third Realm, the Immortal Alliance will surely not let him go!"

"Not good, he’s targeting the Wolf Race of Cyan Wolf Ridge again!"

Above the Corpse-Driving Sect, after Lou Yi killed the Great Demon of Wasp Valley, he didn’t stop at all and continued to fly directly towards where the Wolf Race’s Great Demon resided.

And his first target was impressively the strongest at Cyan Wolf Ridge, the Red-haired Ancestor!

"Youngster, how dare you belittle me!"

Seeing himself being singled out first, the Red-haired Ancestor could only feel that Lou Yi was treating him as a soft target.

He burst into rage, his demonic power boiling, each red hair standing up like a towering tree.
