A true immortal Asura dared to open its massive mouth to devour Xu Fang, showcasing a level of ignorance that was truly fearless!

  Crack—

  A bolt of thick lightning suddenly descended from the heavens, striking the Asura directly on the head!

  An overwhelming force split down, leaving the Asura no time to react as it was obliterated, its soul scattering into the void!

  “Who dares to harm a member of the Asura clan?!”

  Boom—

  In the wake of Xu Fang's swift execution of the first Asura, a furious roar echoed throughout the area!

  Immediately afterward, an immense oppressive force descended upon them!

  “There’s more than one Asura!”

  Xu Fang’s brows furrowed in confusion. The Kingdom of Women was not particularly powerful nor populous, so why were there so many Asuras gathered here?

  One had to understand, Asuras typically operated in secrecy. Yet here, in the Kingdom of Xiliang, they seemed to have no qualms, emerging with abandon!

  Before he could gather his thoughts, the waters of the Mother River surged violently, a thick, blood-red aura surging through the entire river in an instant!

  One after another, Asuras began to rise from the depths of the river!

  Xu Fang counted and was astounded to find over twenty of them!

  The lowest among them was at the True Immortal level, with several others at the Mysterious Immortal rank, and leading them was one with the significant power of a Golden Immortal!

  “Lord Tianwei, this human killed one of our Asura kin; we must not let him go unpunished!”

  The Asuras, filled with rage, directed their ire towards the one known as Lord Tianwei.

  Xu Fang’s gaze fell upon the leader, a Golden Immortal Asura, who was extraordinarily large, covered in bony spikes, and adorned with a flowing blood-red cape that billowed ominously in the wind.

  “Is it true that the higher the rank of the Asura, the uglier they become?” Xu Fang remarked nonchalantly, his tone light.

  It was common knowledge across the Three Realms that male Asuras were notoriously hideous, while female Asuras often possessed enchanting beauty that could rival even the celestial maidens.

  This disparity led to a particular sensitivity among male Asuras regarding their appearance!

  Now, in front of them, Xu Fang dared to state that the stronger Asuras were the ugliest. This statement ignited a furious wrath among the gathered Asuras!

  If glares could kill, Xu Fang would have been slain dozens of times over by now!

  “Impertinent! I am Lord Tianwei of the Asura clan! You, a mere human, kill my kin and insult my people—prepare to die!”

  Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

  Tianwei could not tolerate anyone calling him ugly, and his rage boiled over. He raised his hand and summoned a blood-red, narrow blade, pointing its sharp edge directly at Xu Fang!

  “Oh? I didn’t expect to find a low-grade innate treasure here!”

  Xu Fang’s eyes brightened as he focused on the blood-red blade in Tianwei’s hand, a smile flickering across his face.

  Although it was merely a low-grade treasure, it was still an innate item!

  Since arriving in this world, the best treasure Xu Fang had encountered was the Immortal-Slaying Flying Blade, but it was somewhat limited in use.

  As for the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, while impressive, it was still only a postnatal item!

  The fact that Tianwei possessed an innate treasure hinted at a remarkable origin.

  However, Xu Fang was unconcerned.

  Even if this fellow had the backing of the Ancestor of the River of the Underworld, what did it matter? If it came down to backing, Xu Fang had no reason to fear him!

  “That blade of yours, I have taken a liking to it!”

  Xu Fang’s voice was calm, and before he finished speaking, he made his move!

  “Death awaits you!”

  Tianwei was momentarily taken aback, not expecting this human cultivator to be so fearless as to strike first!

  As a dignified Golden Immortal, he felt no fear. He charged forward, blade in hand!

  “Kill!”

  The Asura clan thrived on slaughter, and Xu Fang’s provocation was seen as a tremendous dishonor by Tianwei!

  The sounds of clashing metal rang out as their battle erupted over the Mother River!

  The bloodlust surged, and the atmosphere thickened with murderous intent!

  The dozens of Asuras watching from the river were left dumbfounded!

  Clearly, both sides were at the Golden Immortal level, yet Tianwei, wielding the Blood-Mourning Blade, seemed to be at a disadvantage against this human cultivator!

  Waves repeatedly crashed against the shore, and the air was filled with the scent of blood as the heavens shifted ominously!

  Despite wielding the blood blade, Tianwei gained no upper hand!

  The blade swung fiercely, the clash of metal echoing through the air, but suddenly, a figure was sent flying!

  “How is this possible?”

  “Tianwei has… lost?!”

  The Asura onlookers gasped in shock as they watched their leader, the formidable Tianwei, being flung back into the river with a resounding splash!

  “Damn it, damn it all!”

  Tianwei emerged from the water, soaked and furious, his crimson eyes fixed on Xu Fang. “How can a mere early Golden Immortal be this strong? I refuse to believe it!”

  With a roar, Tianwei swung the Blood-Mourning Blade again!

  At the same time, an eerie incantation slipped from his lips.

  “Ka Ye Bo Guo Da Ye…”

  As the incantation escaped, the Asuras' expressions shifted to sheer terror!

  “Not good! Lord Tianwei is going to sacrifice us!”

  “Stop! Lord Tianwei, please don’t do it!”

  “Damn it, he can’t defeat this human cultivator, and now he wants to sacrifice us!”

  As Asuras, they were acutely aware of what the incantation meant, and knowing they had no chance of escape, they began pleading with Tianwei to abandon the ritual!

  However, once Tianwei made up his mind, he would not back down!

  “Ha ha ha! You pitiful humans will die beneath our blood sacrifice, and it will be a fitting end for you!”

  A sinister grin spread across Tianwei’s face as strange runes began to crawl across his features!

  Meanwhile, the Asuras below transformed into streams of blood light, rushing towards Tianwei’s body!

  In just a brief moment, bolstered by the sacrifice of dozens of Asuras, Tianwei’s form became increasingly grotesque and terrifying.

  “Sacrifice? Interesting.”

  A smile flickered in Xu Fang’s eyes as he observed. “I was worried you had too many people to activate your treasures. But now you offer them up willingly? How could I refuse!”

  As his voice fell, Xu Fang suddenly summoned forth the Immortal-Slaying Gourd!

  In the next instant, the gourd’s mouth opened, unleashing a brilliant beam of light!

  Immortal-Slaying Flying Blade!

  “What is this?!”

  Tianwei’s eyes widened in horror as he felt the radiant light overwhelm him, and he was suddenly engulfed by an overwhelming wave of drowsiness!

  “This is the Immortal-Slaying Flying Blade!”

  Suddenly, a realization struck Tianwei, and he fought to keep his eyes open, but terror flooded his gaze.

  “No! You cannot kill me! I am Tianwei of the Asura clan! I am the favored son of the Ancestor of the River of the Underworld! You can’t kill me!”

  As Tianwei's desperate pleas echoed, Xu Fang had only one response.

  “Please, turn back, dear treasure!”
