"Huh?" Murong Xue had just reached the doorway when she suddenly noticed a burly man standing there.
The man had a fierce appearance, clad in black armor, wielding a large saber, and exuding a chilling aura.
"Who... who are you?" Murong Xue asked nervously.
"Hmph! I am a guard from the Demonic Realm. You must be Murong Xue!" the man said in a deep voice.
"It's me!" Murong Xue nodded.
"Since you are Murong Xue! Do not resist, and surrender obediently!"
"If you have to blame someone, blame your bad luck! For encountering us demons!"
"Heh heh, you are wrong! I haven't encountered your Demonic Realm! I am looking for Yun Lang!"
"Oh? Are you Yun Lang's wife?"
"Indeed, you are correct!"
"If that is the case, I cannot harm you! However, you must come with me!" the man said domineeringly.
"On what grounds! You cannot kill me!" Murong Xue frowned.
"If you resist, do not blame me for being heartless!"
As he spoke, the long saber in the man's hand suddenly swung out!
A cold glint flashed in Murong Xue's eyes, and she met it with a punch!
"Rumble!"
After a fierce explosion, Murong Xue's fist was shattered, bleeding profusely!
"Hiss!"
Seeing Murong Xue injured, the man couldn't help but gasp, "So strong!"
"Hmph! You are not capable of capturing me!"
With that, Murong Xue's body suddenly grew larger.
The man was immediately startled.
"This, this is a spirit beast! You actually possess a spirit beast!"
"Hmph! Since you recognize my spirit beast, you are even less qualified to take me away!"
"Do not be arrogant! Today, I will not only take you back to the Demonic Realm, but I will also take your life!"
The man roared in anger, raised his saber, and charged at Murong Xue!
"Whoosh—"
At the moment the man charged, Murong Xue leaped up abruptly, her figure flashing away swiftly. Simultaneously, she clenched her right fist and unleashed a "Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain," smashing heavily into the man's chest!
The man hastily swung his saber to block Murong Xue's attack.
"Bang!"
The collision of their powers produced a piercing sound. The man's palm went numb, and his saber almost fell from his grasp.
"Thump—"
"Chuchi—"
Murong Xue pressed her advantage, launching two more fierce attacks.
"Bang bang—"
After two loud bangs, the man was kicked flying by Murong Xue, crashing heavily against the wall.
"Crack—"
The man's ribs were all broken.
"Ah! How... how did you do it? Why is my strength so不堪一击 (不堪一击 -不堪一击) before you?" the man said with a pained expression.
"Haven't you realized?" Murong Xue retorted.
"Realized what?" the man asked in confusion.
"You are only at the sixth layer of Qi Refining! My strength has reached the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment. The gap between our strengths is too vast!"
"What... what did you say? You are at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment?" the man asked in astonishment.
"Nonsense! If I weren't at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment, do you think I would dare to barge into your territory alone?"
"This..." The man was speechless.
"Now you should understand why I'm not afraid of you! Because I have already advanced to become a master at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment!"
"What? How is this possible? I am at the peak of the eighth layer of Qi Refining! And and you were injured by me just now!"
"Haha! You are right! I was indeed injured by you just now, but I have already recovered about seventy to eighty percent. Do you think I still have a way to win against you?" Murong Xue said dismissively.
"Then you should obediently come back with me! Otherwise, do not blame me for being ruthless!"
A sinister smile appeared on Murong Xue's lips, and she slowly said, "You want to be ruthless? Then try it! I want to see what you are capable of!"
"You!" The man was instantly enraged.
"You don't believe me? Then let me show you!"
"Whoosh!"
A black shadow cut through the air, lunging towards the man.
The man was greatly alarmed and hastily dodged. At the same time, he brandished his sword to block Murong Xue's attack!
"Bang!"
The two attacks collided. The man's body was shaken back out of the room, crashing heavily against the wall, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You..." The man looked up at Murong Xue, his eyes filled with shock and terror!
"I told you, you are not my opponent! Now, answer the question I asked you earlier, and perhaps I will consider letting you live!" Murong Xue said calmly.
"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly and said, "Don't even think about it!"
"It seems I must make a move!"
"Rumble!"
"Crack—"
"Roar—"
The man cried out in pain and immediately knelt on the ground, clutching his arm, groaning in agony!
Watching the man kneeling on the ground, painfully clutching his arm and appearing to be in extreme pain, Murong Xue secretly rejoiced!
Although this man's strength was not low, it was nothing in front of her.
Murong Xue let out a cold laugh and then said, "I ask you, where is the King of the Demonic Realm?"
Upon hearing Murong Xue's question, the man paused for a moment, then said, "You want to know about the King?"
"Of course! Otherwise, why would I come with you?"
"If you want to know the King's whereabouts, you must first tell me the King's location! Otherwise, even if I have to risk my life, I will kill you!"
"Hmph! Do you think I would believe you?" Murong Xue snorted coldly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me! But your friends and family will be in trouble. You can choose to stay here! Or I can choose to kill all your friends and family!" the man said coldly.
"Hmph! Threatening me?" Murong Xue snorted coldly, "With you? Do you think you are worthy?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, but your friends and family are not guaranteed!"
"You!" Murong Xue gritted her teeth in anger, but she could do nothing about the man in front of her!
This was a feeling of powerlessness!
Her cultivation was inferior to the man in front of her!
"Since that is the case, then do not blame me for being impolite!"
"Hmph! I want to see how capable you are!"
Murong Xue exuded a powerful spiritual pressure that enveloped the entire hotel.
"Bang bang bang."
With fists and kicks, she struck the man, causing him to bleed from his nose and mouth, falling to the ground, coughing incessantly.
"What... what realm are you at!" the man asked tremblingly.
"Foundation Establishment!"
"What! How could you cultivate so fast!" The man's eyes widened, and he looked at Murong Xue in disbelief.
"Heh heh, what, you don't believe it?" Murong Xue smiled slightly and said, "Then keep watching, I'm going to kill you later!"
"No, no, no... Don't get agitated, let's talk slowly!"
"What do you want?"
"I... I want you to come back to the Demonic Realm with me!"
"No! Absolutely not!" Murong Xue shook her head and refused.
"Why?"
"All of you in the Demonic Realm are wicked beings! How could I possibly go back with you!"
"I am only responsible for escorting you to the Demonic Realm. I don't handle other matters."
"Is that so? I won't force you!" Murong Xue shrugged and said, "You can scram now!"
Hearing this, the man was greatly alarmed!
"You really aren't coming back with me?"
"No!"
"You... don't forget! Your friends and family are all in my hands!"
"If you dare to play any tricks, I will kill them all. Do you believe me?" Murong Xue threatened.
"You... you..." The man was momentarily speechless. "Hmph! Since you are so stubborn and unyielding, then do not blame me for being ruthless!"
With that said, the man took out a jade tablet from his storage ring. After crushing the jade tablet, two streams of dense red flames shot out from it, illuminating the entire hall.
"Shu shu"
A sharp whistling sound was heard.
An arrow shot towards Murong Xue's head.
Murong Xue snorted coldly, casually raised her hand, and a golden aura shield formed, deflecting the arrow before continuing her attack on the man.
