Chapter 205: The Advent of Yama

"Five Blood Prohibitions!"

"Heavens, it’s an Unparalleled Treasure Artifact!"

Gasps of shock erupted from the crowd. The faces of many were filled with horror and fear.

"CLANG!"

A Squad Leader had just rushed forward with his saber, but the moment it clashed with the Cyan Cloud Sword in Lu Bai’s hand, it instantly snapped in two.

The sword’s momentum didn’t falter.

A single downward strike disemboweled him, spilling blood and entrails all over the ground!

"AHHH!"

The Squad Leader let out a bloodcurdling scream and died on the spot.

In just a few moments, dozens of bodies lay scattered across the Hall of Unity. The reek of iron filled the air, and blood pooled everywhere.

Most of the men present had roamed the Jianghu and had blood on their hands, but seeing this scene still made their hearts pound and their scalps tingle with fear.

In the brief skirmish just now, three of the ten Squad Leaders had already fallen!

The several hundred members of the Fujiao Gang were so stunned that they hesitated, not daring to advance.

"Whoever kills this man gets that Unparalleled Treasure Artifact!"

Seeing this, Luo Hengjiang suddenly roared.

A great reward is sure to attract brave men.

Hearing his words, the surrounding Fujiao Gang members once again grew eager to fight.

This Lu Bai was only powerful because of his Unparalleled Treasure Artifact. Besides, two fists were no match for four hands.

He was just one man, and at the Innate Realm no less.

All ten of the Fujiao Gang’s Squad Leaders were Innate Martial Artists.

Furthermore, of their Twelve Meridians, they had each opened at least seven.

There were also over twenty other Innate Martial Artists who had opened fewer than seven.

With so many Innate Martial Artists, plus several hundred gang members, how could they possibly lose to a single man with a single sword?

"Kill him and take the Divine Weapon!"

Someone bellowed.

The Fujiao Gang members roared in unison. Their morale surged, their eyes turned red, and they closed in for the kill once more.

A brilliant light flared in Lu Bai’s eyes. He swung the Cyan Cloud Sword, and as his Blood Qi poured into it, the blade turned crimson, as if forged in fire. In an instant, he unleashed more than a dozen strikes in all directions!

It was a move from the Red Ming Celestial Patrol: Burning the Eight Desolates!

SQUELCH! SQUELCH! SQUELCH!

Blood sprayed everywhere as figures were cut down by the Cyan Cloud Sword in Lu Bai’s hand. They were sent flying, only to be quickly swallowed by the crowd pressing forward from behind.

They believed their chance would come once Lu Bai exhausted his Sword Moves.

But unexpectedly, after Burning the Eight Desolates, Lu Bai’s Sword Moves smoothly transitioned.

The Cyan Cloud Sword hummed, and in a flash, it erupted with an endless rain of sword light. The crimson glints descended from above like a downpour of fire, falling into the crowd.

Fire Rain from Heaven!

Lu Bai’s current Cultivation was insufficient to unleash the full power of this move.

He could only transform the sword light into a fire rain, and its range was limited.

If his Cultivation improved and he reached the Returning Void Realm, his power would connect heaven and earth, allowing his spirit to roam beyond the firmament. Only then could the true might of this move be displayed.

Wherever his Divine Sense reached, a rain of fiery swords would fall, blotting out the sun!

Even so, the falling sword light still inflicted immense damage on the Fujiao Gang members.

Innate Martial Artists were still able to defend against it, and some Martial Artists with skilled Lightweight Body Techniques could evade it in time.

But the Inner Martial Artists and those at the Root Bone Stage couldn’t block it at all.

When the fire rain fell, it instantly pierced through flesh and blood, burning a bloody hole in their bodies. It was a guaranteed death or a grievous wound!

The scene descended further into chaos as screams rose and fell, one after another.

Lu Bai’s eyes had turned red with the slaughter. He fully unleashed the Swordsmanship of the Red Ming Celestial Patrol, holding nothing back!

Dawn, White Rainbow Piercing the Sun, Meteor Chasing the Moon, Golden Crow’s Descent...

As he continued to kill, Lu Bai pushed his Blood Qi to its absolute limit. Within his Sword Qi, the faint phantom of a Three-legged Golden Crow actually appeared, radiating a terrifying aura!

Everywhere it went, it incinerated all things!

Before everyone’s eyes, a man was struck by the Three-legged Golden Crow. His entire body instantly burst into flames, and he was burned alive, reduced to a ball of fire!

"What kind of monster is that?"

As Luo Hengjiang was locked in battle with Ah Ming, he caught a glimpse of this from the corner of his eye and his face paled in shock.

’Blood Qi Transformation... that’s a technique only a True Master of the Martial Dao should possess. It can only be unleashed when one’s Blood Qi is exceptionally condensed and pure, having formed a Blood Qi Golden Core. Although the Three-legged Golden Crow on Lu Bai’s blade is blurry, it’s already beginning to take shape!’

The members of the Fujiao Gang had originally thought they could rely on their superior numbers, swarm him, and hack Lu Bai to death.

But only after truly clashing with him did they feel the true terror of Lu Bai!

He was practically a human-shaped Fierce Beast!

One man, one sword—he was like a tiger let loose in a flock of sheep, rampaging without restraint.

Wherever his longsword pointed, he was invincible. No one could withstand its edge!

Several hundred members of the Fujiao Gang were routed by Lu Bai’s single sword, leaving a battlefield of scattered corpses.

Blood sprayed wildly, grating on everyone’s nerves. The sounds of screams, clashing weapons, and shattering tables and chairs replaced the earlier commotion.

The once festive and lively Hall of Unity had now become an Asura Hell, thick with the stench of blood!

The flickering firelight illuminated Lu Bai’s ice-cold face. He was already drenched in the blood of others.

His eyes were as still as an old well—impassive and merciless.

That tall, imposing figure, wielding a blood-red longsword, truly looked like the soul-reaping Yama incarnate—unstoppable, his presence as oppressive as a prison.

The number of Fujiao Gang casualties continued to climb.

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred...

Eventually, they lost count.

The Fujiao Gang members could only sense their brothers around them growing fewer and fewer.

The frenzied slaughter, the acrid stench of blood, and the corpses that filled their vision completely shattered their Heart and Spirit.

’No matter how tempting the Unparalleled Treasure Artifact is, what’s the use if you’re not alive to claim it?’

"Yama! The Black Hand Yama!"

"Yama has come to reap our souls!"

Someone’s voice trembled as others began to flee.

Once the rout began, it could not be stopped.

No matter how Luo Hengjiang shouted, it was useless.

"Go to Jingzhou City and get reinforcements!"

Left with no other choice, Luo Hengjiang had to yell.

Lu Bai ignored the fleeing Fujiao Gang members. His gaze sharpened and locked onto Luo Hengjiang and Fang Jingchen, who were fighting Ah Ming.

Although Ah Ming had only recently advanced to a Tier Three Exotic Beast, it was still able to gain the upper hand against two True Masters of the Martial Dao, one of whom—Luo Hengjiang—was at the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

During the fight, Fang Jingchen had tried several times to break away from Ah Ming and kill Lu Bai first, but Ah Ming blocked him every time.

Just then, Luo Hengjiang had a stroke of genius. He shouted in a low voice, "Split up!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Fang Jingchen instantly understood Luo Hengjiang’s plan.

Once they separated, the Chongming Bird would be unable to pursue both. No matter which one of them it chased, the other could take the opportunity to finish off Lu Bai!

Risking injury from Ah Ming’s claws, Luo Hengjiang and Fang Jingchen created an opening. They split up, turned to flee, and shot through the air.

As expected, Ah Ming froze for a moment, hesitating, and glanced sideways at Lu Bai.

"You go after that one!"

Lu Bai pointed in Luo Hengjiang’s direction.

"SKRAWWW!"

Ah Ming understood. It let out a long cry, flapped its wings, and took flight. With incredible speed, it shot after Luo Hengjiang.

Seeing this, Fang Jingchen was overjoyed. He spun around abruptly, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent as he stared down at Lu Bai. He dived, charging toward Lu Bai to kill him!

"Lu Bai, today you die!"

Fang Jingchen bellowed.

’Lu Bai killed Wu Ziyan. As long as I can kill this man, it will be a great meritorious deed! I, Fang Jingchen, will surely catch the eye of the Marquis Jingzhong’s Mansion!’

Lu Bai’s expression didn’t change. He remained motionless, merely watching with cold eyes as Fang Jingchen rapidly approached.

True Masters of the Martial Dao could stand on the air.

Just now, they had been fighting in mid-air. Even if Lu Bai had wanted to help, he wouldn’t have been able to reach them.

Now, for Fang Jingchen to kill him, he had no choice but to descend.

This was the very moment Lu Bai had been waiting for!
