Chapter 138: A Tooth for a Tooth

"Master Yeming, you have finally appeared!"

Hearing this familiar voice, King Yusha was not alarmed but delighted. He whipped his head around to see that familiar figure, and instantly, all his rage vanished, replaced by intense surprise and a murderous intent that surged like a tide.

Night Owl was nothing! The Black Demon Sect had seventy or eighty thousand such silver-badge disciples; he could kill one whenever he pleased without ever facing punishment. His true target was Jun Wushuang! Now that Jun Wushuang had revealed himself, he no longer had any reason to spare a glance for Night Owl.

*Whoosh!*

Immediately, the surrounding Black Demon Sect disciples stepped forward, forming a tight circle and surrounding Jun Wushuang completely.

"Master Yeming, you truly have clever means and impressive abilities." King Yusha smiled, but the expression was chillingly cold, enough to make one’s skin crawl. He looked down at Jun Wushuang from his elevated position, his eyes flashing with lethal intent. "Not only did you deceive me, but you also used Jiang Rulong’s hand to kill Mo Fenglie. Now that all the opportunities within the tomb are in your hands, you must be the one laughing last, right?"

"I don't care who you are or what your background is, but you committed a grave mistake by provoking my Black Demon Sect."

"My master is now truly enraged and has ordered me to capture you and retrieve the poison corpse at all costs. Hand over the poison corpse obediently, sever your own hands, and come with me to see my master. If you await his judgment, perhaps you might be spared. Otherwise, I will hack you into pieces tonight and leave not a single intact bone in your body!"

King Yusha’s spiritual sense had locked onto Jun Wushuang firmly. With seven gold-badge disciples of the Marquis Realm surrounding them, he did not believe there was any possibility of Jun Wushuang escaping. However, he did not want to kill him just yet. This mission had failed, and Mo Fenglie was dead; he would have to bear the primary responsibility. His master was already furious, and he desperately needed a scapegoat to divert that wrath. Thus, he intended to capture Jun Wushuang alive to serve as a vessel for his master’s fury.

"Is the Black Demon Sect really so impressive?" Jun Wushuang raised his head slightly, facing King Yusha directly without a trace of fear. "I am a man who returns every grievance; you hurt my people, and I will make you pay with your life!"

These words completely enraged King Yusha. "If you refuse to accept grace, then go to hell!"

With that, King Yusha struck. He was a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Heavenly King Realm. Even though he was still suffering from injuries sustained in his battle with Jiang Hongru, he remained a force far beyond what Jun Wushuang could match.

"Mo Yi!" Jun Wushuang didn't even look; he simply issued a summons.

*Whoosh!*

A black shadow, faster than lightning, shot directly toward King Yusha.

*Bang!*

With a thunderous crash, King Yusha was struck head-on and sent flying, smashing through a wall.

The entire scene fell into dead silence. The seven Black Demon Sect disciples looked at the black shadow in horror. They knew full well how powerful King Yusha was. How could he have been sent flying by a single blow? It was inconceivable!

*Whoosh!*

The demon puppet did not stop, lunging at King Yusha once more. After Jun Wushuang had refined the Nether Poison Emperor into a demon puppet, its strength had not diminished—it had grown. By activating the poison core, it unleashed deadly miasma, rivaling a powerhouse at the first level of the Martial Emperor Realm. Its only flaw was that it had to rely on its physical form and toxins to fight, lacking the ability to teleport or manifest a Heaven and Earth Dharma Avatar. But against a ninth-level Heavenly King like King Yusha, it was more than enough.

"Damn you! You actually managed to control the poison corpse!" King Yusha roared, rising to his feet and staring daggers at the puppet. He had never seen the poison corpse before and assumed this was its true form.

"Too much chatter!" Jun Wushuang commanded, and the demon puppet launched a fierce, overwhelming assault. King Yusha, already heavily wounded and inferior in strength to the puppet, was instantly driven into a disadvantageous position.

"Kill him, quickly!" King Yusha ordered the seven disciples to strike. Once Jun Wushuang was dead, the puppet would lose its controller.

"Kill!" The seven gold-badge disciples, all of the Marquis Realm, wasted no time and unleashed a coordinated assault.

*Swish! Swish! Swish!*

An endless barrage of hidden weapons flew from all directions, sealing off every path of retreat. Various poisons followed, each one lethal, intended to make Jun Wushuang succumb to a toxic death. The Black Demon Sect was famous for its poisons and hidden weapons, a truly terrifying combination.

Unfortunately for them, they were facing Jun Wushuang.

*Clang, clang, clang!*

Every hidden weapon was deflected by the black robe formed from the Life-and-Death Demon Armor. Every toxin was absorbed directly into Jun Wushuang’s body.

"Manifestation: Demon Emperor Shakes the Myriad Worlds!" Jun Wushuang activated his Devouring Demon Body and unleashed his second manifestation. A phantom of the Demon Emperor appeared, and a terrifying demonic pressure descended, turning the disciples' faces pale as they felt a sense of oppression they had never known before.

"Asura Blade Slash!" Jun Wushuang grabbed his Asura Demon Blade. Drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he unleashed a thousand-meter-long blood-colored blade glow. The strike was like a dragon, bloodthirsty and ruthless, crashing into the crowd and splitting one gold-badge disciple in two.

"Quick! Use your Heaven and Earth Dharma Avatars!" Jun Wushuang’s brutal slaughter caused the remaining six disciples to panic, and they hurriedly manifested their avatars.

"Hell Furnace!" Jun Wushuang remained unfazed, summoning the Hell Furnace. Hellish flames roared forth, carrying the scent of the underworld as they incinerated the avatars.

"Ascending to Heaven in One Step!" Jun Wushuang executed the Demon’s Nine Heavens Step, moving at the speed of sound to appear instantly beside a disciple.

*Splurt!*

The Asura Demon Blade slashed out, unstoppable and absolute. With a flash of light, a blood-stained head flew high into the air.

"Fight with everything you have, or we all die!" The remaining five disciples were horrified, erupting with all their spiritual energy in a desperate attempt to defeat him.

"Like ants!" Jun Wushuang’s eyes were indifferent, as if he were the eternal sky looking down upon all living things as mere insects.

"Innate Ability: Three Heads and Six Arms!" Jun Wushuang activated his newly acquired third innate ability. Suddenly, he manifested three heads and six arms, wielding the Asura Demon Blade, the Hell Furnace, and the Ox Demon’s Might, his combat power surging to a monstrous level.

Three seconds later, one disciple was cut in half at the waist, blood drenching the ground.
Ten seconds later, the second disciple was pulled into the Hell Furnace and refined into a Blood Demon Pill.
Thirty seconds later, the third disciple’s head was smashed by a single punch, leaving nothing left.
A minute later, the final two disciples met their end, crushed by a blade and a fist respectively.

In less than three minutes, all seven gold-badge disciples of the Marquis Realm had fallen, dying miserable deaths at the hands of Jun Wushuang. Yet, he had no intention of stopping. With a flicker of movement, he charged toward King Yusha.

"God-tier Forbidden Art: Body of the Asura!"

In that instant, the Asura descended to slaughter the world.
