Chapter 204: Chapter 201: Thunderclap Flame Bomb

"This little bastard, I’ll definitely crush his bones and scatter his ashes!"

Tu Ba’s expression darkened, at this moment he wished he could tear Ye Xuan apart. He had originally planned to ambush Ye Xuan, but didn’t expect to be severely outplayed by his opponent beforehand.

However, just as he harbored this thought, the attacks from the Blood Demon King became fiercer, clearly indicating that the Blood Demon King intended to eliminate Tu Ba before considering how to deal with Ye Xuan.

Tu Ba was driven into a corner, embarrassed in front of so many witnesses; if things didn’t go well, he might actually be defeated by the Blood Demon King.

"Evil Demon Slaughter!"

Seizing the moment to catch his breath, Tu Ba swung his saber vertically at the Blood Demon King. The air was parted by the sharp edge of the blade, and a twisted, black saber light, carrying an overwhelming murderous intent, slashed diagonally towards the Blood Demon King.

Clang!

The saber light hadn’t completely landed when it was intercepted by a bloody red claw. The palm of the Blood Demon King was coated with a layer of blood-colored scales, which looked extremely fierce yet seemingly indestructible. Upon collision, brilliant sparks flew.

Crack!

With a clasp, the Blood Demon King’s claw grasped Tu Ba’s long saber in his bare hands.

Seeing this, Tu Ba’s complexion changed. He tried to regain his momentum, but the Blood Demon King’s Blood Claw was like a pair of iron pincers, firmly gripping the blade. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break free.

"Heh heh, your strength is merely this? It seems you’re just a braggart. Watch as this king slaughters you!"

With that said, the Blood Demon King’s other hand shot out, directly grabbing towards Tu Ba’s throat. In the air, six bloody claw shadows appeared, simultaneously attacking Tu Ba’s windpipe.

Tu Ba attempted to dodge, but a bloody, stench-filled wind suddenly erupted from the Blood Demon King’s claw, carrying deadly poison and corroding the air with crackling noises.

Sizzle!

The spray of blood fog corroded a large portion of Tu Ba’s face, causing him to scream in pain.

"Break for me!"

With a large portion of his face poisoned, Tu Ba’s hair disheveled, he looked mad with rage. The Blood Demon King’s lethal move had thoroughly ignited his anger, and he let out a loud shout, an astonishing sharpness emanating from the saber he clutched, causing the scales on the Blood Demon King’s claw, which had been tightly grasping the saber, to crack.

"Hm?"

The Blood Demon King’s expression changed, and he quickly let go, spun his body, supported himself with both hands on the ground, and kicked Tu Ba’s long saber, using the momentum to spring back.

And, having taken a kick from the Blood Demon King, Tu Ba’s body was shaken back several steps, but after retreating three steps, a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes, halting his backward momentum, and he swung his saber out, a burst of reddish light exploding forth.

"Red Hot Crazy Saber!"

His entire body seemingly ignited in flames, Tu Ba swung his saber, with the edge gleaming like silk, quickly draining the air in front and harshly slashing at the Blood Demon King.

"Blood Demon Explosive Flame Fist!"

Facing the striking reddish saber light, the Blood Demon King sneered. His figure paused, and demonic power rapidly gathered at his fist, seemingly igniting from the friction, then he struck out with an extremely violent gesture. The air it encountered burst explosively, causing a chain reaction of blasts along the way, like gunpowder, immensely destructive.

Boom!

Saber light collided with the punch, the entire sky seemed to boil instantly, and nearby Martial Artists were forcibly blown away by the aftershock, extremely disheveled.

Hmph!

Amidst the shock, Tu Ba let out a muffled grunt, then staggered backward a dozen steps, fresh blood oozing from the corner of his mouth—the punch had caused him injuries.

As Tu Ba was sent flying, the many Martial Artists present couldn’t help but feel a twitch in their hearts. Although they harbored no goodwill for Tu Ba after recent events, it seemed that besides Tu Ba, there was no one else who could fight the Blood Demon King. If Tu Ba were defeated, their fates were likely to be grim.

"Ye Xuan, are you going to help or not? It’s because of you that this Blood Demon King came, and now you just stand there watching?" Noticing that the situation in the fight was turning dire, Liu Sha suddenly shouted at Ye Xuan.

"What do you mean ’because of me’? Ridiculous. Me, merely a First Grade Martial Sect, would be courting death if I went up there, right? Isn’t that so? Liu Sha, you’re not trying to use this to harm me, are you?" Ye Xuan neither denied nor admitted, simply laughing lightly.

Hearing this, those around nodded. Ye Xuan’s performance had indeed been stunning earlier, but facing an existence like the Blood Demon King was clearly not something he could handle, causing many to cast doubtful looks at Liu Sha. As a True Disciple of the Earth Evil Sect, if help was needed, it should be Liu Sha who stepped in.

"You!"

Liu Sha itched to kill Ye Xuan right there and then, but he lacked the power. So he could only feel a frustrating itch in his teeth, not daring to be too obvious.

"Don’t worry, even a macaque has nine lives, and Vice Sect Master Tu’s cultivation is profound. He surely has cards left to play, no need to worry," Ye Xuan said, his demeanor calm and poised.

Upon hearing this, the crowd was slightly reassured, but little did they know how Ye Xuan could know if Tu Ba had any cards left to play. Regardless of whether he had any or not, why would Ye Xuan care about Tu Ba’s life or death? In fact, he hoped the Blood Demon King would just slay Tu Ba, removing a significant threat for him.

"Humans, is this all you’re capable of? I’ll send you to the Western Paradise now."

The Blood Demon King sneered with a smile, and as he had the upper hand, he once again mustered his strength, slightly bending his body, spreading his hands out, and gently swaying them. As his arms made these small movements, behind him, an astonishing amount of crimson True Qi crazily converged, seemingly forming a vast sea of blood. The pungent smell of blood soared to the heavens.

Upon seeing the sea of blood forming, Tu Ba’s face slightly changed. Originally, he didn’t want to engage in a fight to the death with this Blood Demon King, but the other party simply didn’t give him a chance. If he didn’t go all out now, he’d undoubtedly die.

A flash of determination crossed his eyes. Tu Ba bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of fresh blood onto the long saber in his hand. In an instant, a mass of blood light rapidly spread over the blade, covering the entire surface in the blink of an eye.

The saber turned blood-red, and its fluctuations grew rapidly, weakening Tu Ba’s own aura and concentrating it all onto this strike. Even the air around the blood-colored saber became distorted.

"Blood Sea Heaven Curtain!"

As the sea of blood spread out like a canopy shrouding the sky, the space above within a hundred meters seemed to form a sea of blood. Under the Blood Demon King’s bellow, it suddenly swept towards Tu Ba, carrying a terrifying pressure, creating a strong visual impact.

"Blood Oath Returning God Sword!"

Tu Ba’s gaze darkened to the extreme as the sea of blood loomed over him. In that moment, the blood-colored saber in his hand also swung out abruptly. The blood-light from the saber rapidly expanded to thirty feet in size and fiercely struck the sea of blood.

Hisss hisss hisss...

The blade’s light sliced through the sky, cleaving the sea of blood, but then, endless streams of blood-light surged forward, constantly striking the saber light, diminishing its power.

"Devour!"

The Blood Demon King suddenly roared, and with the bulging of veins all over his body, the blood-light within the sea of blood flared up, instantly swallowing the saber light. And Tu Ba himself spat out another mouthful of fresh blood as his aura rapidly declined.

"Die!"

Having expended a tremendous effort to break Tu Ba’s saber technique, the Blood Demon King’s face lit up with joy. With a stomp of his foot, he dashed towards Tu Ba like a bolt of lightning, his ferocious Blood Claws reaching out towards him, clearly intending to take this opportunity to completely eradicate Tu Ba.

"Bastard!"

Tu Ba’s face turned ashen. However, as the Blood Demon King closed in, a glint of panic flashed in his eyes, then he flipped his palm, and suddenly two silver light orbs appeared in his hand.

"It’s the Thunderclap Flame Bomb!"

Many sharp-eyed people also exclaimed in surprise. The Thunderclap Flame Bomb was a renowned hidden weapon in the Tiannan Region. To put it plainly, it was a type of mechanical hidden weapon that would explode upon hitting its target. The force of the explosion was enough to severely injure a Martial Sect Master. Such a weapon was extremely rare in the Tiannan Region.

And now, Tu Ba was taking out two at once?

"Die, you beast!"

Tu Ba, unable to contain his rage, forcefully threw the two Thunderclap Flame Bombs. In the Blood Demon King’s unguarded state, they easily hit him, and instantly, a fiercely violent explosion erupted before them.

"This is Tu Ba’s trump card, truly not to be underestimated..."

Watching the intense explosion caused by the Thunderclap Flame Bombs, Ye Xuan’s expression sharpened. If those two bombs had hit him, even if he were wearing Secret Silver Armor, he would likely suffer severe injuries if he wasn’t killed.

He really should thank this Blood Demon King for taking the hit for him.

Swish!

From amidst the smoke, a figure fled in disarray — it was the Blood Demon King. His clothes were torn and tattered, his body covered in bloodstains, and his aura was significantly weaker. Clearly, having been bombarded by the two Thunderclap Flame Bombs, he was almost blown to pieces.

"Despicable humans, next time I will take your life!"

The Blood Demon King’s gaze flickered for a moment before his figure turned into a twisted blood light and darted into the tide of Demon Beasts, decisively making his escape.

"This Blood Demon King is really afraid of dying."

Seeing the Blood Demon King flee in haste, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but shake his head. In truth, in a real fight, it was not certain who would live or die, and the Blood Demon King still had a better chance of winning. But he clearly wasn’t willing to risk his life fighting to the death with Tu Ba and thus fled.

What a pity — he had hoped to use the other party to eliminate Tu Ba.

After the Blood Demon King fled injured, the tide-like horde of Demon Beasts also began to slowly retreat, allowing the warriors engaged in bloody battles to breathe a sigh of relief, experiencing the joy of having survived a catastrophe.

At this moment, the person with the ugliest expression on the battlefield was undoubtedly Tu Ba. Having fought with the Blood Demon King for so long, he wasted his two trump cards — the Thunderclap Flame Bombs — and didn’t manage to gain a single thing.

"Deputy Sect Master Tu has worked hard. Your righteous and awe-inspiring act of singlehandedly repelling the Blood Demon King will definitely be widely broadcast. We will not let your heroic deeds be buried."

"That’s right, Deputy Sect Master Tu’s actions are truly a model for heroes the world over. Those two Thunderclap Flame Bombs must have been incredibly valuable, but they saved so many lives, they were indeed worth it."

Many martial artists crowded forward to offer their "praise" in front of Tu Ba. Yet, these "compliments" only made Tu Ba’s complexion grow increasingly unsightly. Those priceless Thunderclap Flame Bombs, used to save a bunch of insignificant ants? That was not his intention at all; his heart was bleeding over the loss.
