The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 43 Fiery Demon Ape

"Your Highness, you are always so confident."

"So confident...it's almost foolish."

"What did you say?!"

Lu Heng was furious. He trembled his longsword, and sword energy surged forth.

"Still being stubborn even when death is imminent! Lu Xuan, do you really think you can be my match?"

"I've already reached the fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm! Killing you is as easy as slaughtering a dog! You'd better tell me honestly how to inscribe the Spirit Gathering Array patterns... or else!"

After killing several demonic beasts in succession, Lu Heng also broke through to the next level.

Of course, this is largely due to the fact that he was already on the verge of breaking through.

"What else?"

Lu Xuan shook his head, about to teach this arrogant older brother a lesson.

Suddenly, applause came from the bushes on the left.

"Slap! Slap slap!"

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"

"I never expected to witness such a good show of brothers fighting each other in this desolate wilderness."

As the applause subsided, the Sixth Prince, Lu Ming, walked out, fanning himself with a folding fan and a mocking expression.

Upon seeing Lu Ming appear, Lu Heng's expression changed, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

"Sixth Brother? What are you doing here?"

"If the eldest brother can come, then the younger brother can naturally come too."

Lu Ming walked between the two, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Lu Xuan and Lu Heng, a playful smile curving his lips.

"After all, Third Brother's head is worth a lot of money."

"Not only does the Emperor value him, and the elders of the Ziyang Sect favor him, but even the Lin family... probably wishes they could eliminate him as soon as possible, right?"

"What, Sixth Brother, you want a piece of the pie too?"

Lu Heng snorted coldly, his longsword turning slightly, subtly pointing at Lu Ming.

Although their current target is Lu Xuan, they are also mortal enemies on the road to seizing the throne.

"Brother, you've misunderstood."

Lu Ming closed his folding fan and said with a smile:

"I just feel that Third Brother's strength is quite remarkable, and it might be a bit difficult for Eldest Brother to handle it alone."

"How about we brothers join forces, send Third Brother on his way first, and then each of us seize the throne of Great Yan based on our own abilities?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Heng hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded.

"Just what I wanted!"

Although he looked down on Lu Xuan, at this critical juncture, having more people meant having a better chance of success.

As long as we can get Lu Xuan on our side, what's wrong with cooperating with Lao Liu even once?

Seeing the two quickly form an alliance, Lu Xuan's smile deepened.

"Join forces?"

"Alright, that'll save me the trouble of dealing with them one by one. Let's go at them all at once."

Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back.

That deep-seated contempt completely enraged the two men.

"Arrogant!"

"court death!"

Lu Heng and Lu Ming roared simultaneously, attacking Lu Xuan from the left and right!

Lu Heng's sword strikes were fierce and powerful, aiming straight for Lu Xuan's throat.

Lu Ming then waved his folding fan, sending several hidden weapons flying like venomous snakes toward Lu Xuan's lower body, a vicious and ruthless attack.

Faced with the two attacking him, Lu Xuan did not retreat but advanced instead.

He moved with lightning speed, dodging all attacks like a ghost.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his right hand and seemingly casually struck out with his palm.

With a snap.

A crisp slap rang out.

Lu Heng, who was rushing ahead, felt a blur before his eyes and a sharp pain shot through his face.

He spun around like a top and flew out in circles.

With a thud, Lu Heng fell heavily to the ground, half of his face swelling up like a pig's head.

Then he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which included several bloody teeth.

Lu Heng covered his face and let out a bloodcurdling scream.

"Ouch! My teeth!"

Meanwhile, Lu Ming, who was prepared to launch a sneak attack, was shocked when he saw this.

"How is this possible?"

"Even if our boss is a complete waste, he's still at the fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm. How could he be sent flying by a single slap?"

But before he could figure it out, a foot had already kicked him in the stomach.

Lu Ming felt as if his internal organs had shifted.

He arched his back like a shrimp and crashed into an ancient tree, scattering withered leaves all over the ground.

“Cough… cough…”

Lu Ming struggled to sit up from the ground, looking at the boy who was still standing with his hands behind his back, his clothes perfectly straight, with a look of horror on his face.

Sold out instantly!

One against two, a complete and utter annihilation!

Is this something that the useless third brother could have done?

Lu Xuan walked towards the two of them step by step, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent.

"Is that all you've got? You think you can kill me?"

"Since you've gone to such lengths to kill me, then I won't let you two off the hook either."

Lu Xuan raised his hand, gathering spiritual energy in his palm, ready to deliver the final blow to the two.

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from the dense forest near the three of them.

"roar!"

The roar contained a terrifying pressure that shook the entire mountain forest and startled countless birds into flight.

Then, a violent tremor came from the ground, as if some enormous creature was rushing toward them.

Lu Xuan paused, looking up in the direction from which the sound came.

"Hmm...it's a third-tier demonic beast!"

A third-tier demonic beast is equivalent to a human Soul Platform Realm expert.

Moreover, judging from the commotion, this monster is most likely in a berserk state.

Even Lu Xuan couldn't help but show a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

Then, ancient trees nearby collapsed one after another, and dust rose everywhere.

A giant ape, as tall as a three-story building and engulfed in crimson flames, charged out.

Its eyes were bloodshot, and it had completely lost its mind.

Wherever it went, trees and rocks were all ground into powder.

When Lu Ming saw the monster, he was so frightened that his soul almost left his body.

"Flaming Demon Ape!"

After letting out a cry of surprise, he scrambled backward.

"Ah! It's a third-tier demonic beast!"

Lu Heng ignored the excruciating pain on his face, scrambled to his feet and ran, wishing his parents could give him two more legs.

In the face of such a terrifying beast, the struggle for the throne and the hatred are all unimportant!

Saving your life is the most important thing!

Lu Xuan frowned slightly as he watched the ferocious Flame Demon Ape approach.

How did this thing end up here?

And judging from its appearance, it seems to have been deliberately lured here?

Before he could think it through, the Flaming Demon Ape had already spotted the few small insects on this side.

"roar!"

It roared and raised its mountain-sized fist, slamming it down hard on Lu Xuan!

Lu Xuan dodged the attack with a swift movement.

"boom!"

The ground was smashed into a huge crater, and debris flew everywhere.

Taking advantage of this lull, Lu Heng and Lu Ming, who were already terrified, scrambled into the depths of the dense forest and fled in a sorry state.

Lu Xuan glanced at their backs but did not pursue them.

Compared to those two useless creatures, this third-tier demonic beast is the biggest problem right now.

"You guys are lucky to be alive."

Lu Xuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the Flaming Demon Ape that was pouncing again, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"Perfect, I'll use you as a practice subject!"

The Flaming Demon Ape roared, its crimson eyes filled with savagery.

His entire body was engulfed in crimson flames, and the surrounding air was distorted and deformed by the high temperature. The grass and trees under his feet turned to ashes in an instant.
