Chapter 1216: Chapter 995: He’s Here

On the other side, beneath the Starlight Dragon Pillar where the Vermilion Bird Courtiers were located.

Liu Dongming raised both hands, black light surged and gathered, and a Demon Cannon, darker than the night, shot towards Baili Xu.

The rock wall layered upon layers, but under the Demon Cannon, it only briefly held before shattering into a sky full of scattered sand and stone.

Baili Xu let out a muffled groan, was blasted away on the spot, and slammed heavily onto the ground, struggling to get up.

Following closely, a large number of Black Snakes formed from ink descended from mid-air, surrounding and attacking.

Liu Dongming slightly bent his body, behind him, enormous demon wings unfolded, with dense runes appearing on them.

"Chaotic Rain!"

Liu Dongming gave a low shout, numerous black and purple light bullets shot out in all directions, the ink snakes twisted and shattered under the barrage before they could approach!

"Trivial tricks!"

Liu Dongming sneered, flapped his wings again, quickly rushing towards He Zheng.

He Zheng felt a chill in his heart and immediately shouted, "Four Symbols Guardian!"

The Four Symbols Spirit condensed from ink beside him immediately flew up to block ahead, releasing Azure Dragon Flash, White Tiger Gold Gang, and Vermilion Bird Red Flames!

The threefold attack of condensation, burning, and sharpness arrived simultaneously, yet Liu Dongming’s steps did not pause, black light flowed around him, and the demon’s flesh wings directly resisted in front.

"Boom!!"

The combination of Azure Dragon Flash and the other attacks exploded on the spot.

Before the spirit light dissipated, Liu Dongming had already rushed to the front of the Four Symbols Spirit from the mass of spirit light!

Although Liu Dongming had some shallow wounds all over his body, under the terrifying defense and constitution of demon transformation, they visibly healed without affecting his ability!

"What?!" He Zheng was greatly shocked.

Liu Dongming reached out, the power of transformation flowing in his palm, grabbing the Four Symbols Spirit.

"Shatter into pieces!" Liu Dongming said coldly.

Instantly, a layer of black light surged onto the body of the Four Symbols Spirit from Liu Dongming’s hand, and the Four Symbols Spirit shuddered, its eyes suddenly showing a human-like panic.

The originally solid body, strengthened by Xuanwu, visibly dimmed under the black light.

In the next moment, Liu Dongming exerted force, with a "boom", the Four Symbols Spirit shattered explosively in his hand!

"Ugh...!"

He Zheng suffered backlash, his face turned pale immediately.

With no obstacles in front of Liu Dongming, he moved in swiftly, swinging a punch.

He Zheng only had time to splash ink forming a flowing ink shield, but was hit by Liu Dongming’s punch.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound, ink splattered, blood mist burst.

He Zheng was knocked flying by the punch, lying on the ground, continuously coughing blood!

Upon closer look, from all directions, Baili Xu, Ding Jin and other Vermilion Bird experts were lying on the ground, barely alive and unconscious.

"Courting death!"

Liu Dongming sneered, raised his hand, targeting the fallen He Zheng with a Demon Cannon.

Just then, azure blue light shone from the side.

Liu Dongming could only raise his hand to crush the light, then Jiang Lan had already swung the Mysterious Mirror Ruler to attack close.

"Liu Dongming!" Jiang Lan’s eyes flashed with killing intent.

"Oh? You’ve recovered?" Liu Dongming raised an eyebrow.

In previous close combat, it took quite an effort to seriously wound Jiang Lan.

But Baili Xu, He Zheng and other Vermilion Bird Courtiers desperately blocked with all their might!

Now that He Zheng’s group was finally about to be defeated, Jiang Lan recovered first.

"No matter, as long as I beat you down again!"

Liu Dongming’s expression turned cold, he swung a pair of extremely hard claws directly at the Mysterious Mirror Ruler. "Clang clang clang...!"

The two fought rapidly, Jiang Lan swung the Mysterious Mirror Ruler with his right hand, while his left hand continuously performed magic.

Even so, in this close encounter, Jiang Lan’s expression remained serious, struggling quite a bit.

As a second seat of the Imperial, he had no obvious shortcomings.

Though Jiang Lan excelled in skills and techniques, even melee combat was quite superior among the Three Suns, just not as good as the True Monarchs.

But against Liu Dongming, he was always suppressed.

This wasn’t because Jiang Lan was weak, but because Liu Dongming’s physical body was too strong!

Constantin, the founder of the Holy Blessing plan, cultivated the Demon Principle.

The Demon Principle inherently has the power to "change, demonize," which is also the strength Liu Dongming possesses.

That’s why Constantin favored Liu Dongming early on.

Now, under Constantin’s guidance and help, Liu Dongming has long absorbed demon’s blood, transformed part of the demon’s body, elevating his physical body to a level like a true legendary demon!

And Jiang Lan’s Mysterious Mirror Ruler is suitable for dealing with enemies that attack with Star Power, but for Liu Dongming’s terrifying physical body, the Xuan Crystal Ruler is difficult to exert much effect!

Thus, Liu Dongming soon suppressed Jiang Lan.

"Demon Fist!"

"Boom!" another muffled sound.

Liu Dongming punched the Mysterious Mirror Ruler, and the terrifying force passed through the Xuan Crystal Ruler to Jiang Lan’s chest, directly blasting Jiang Lan backwards to crash into the Star Palace wall.

"Ugh!"

The wall cracked like a spider web, and Jiang Lan let out a muffled groan, a trace of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth as he was about to slide down.

But Liu Dongming opened his right hand, and amidst the surge of black light, it transformed into a menacing Dark Gun that he hurled out.

The Dark Gun pierced Jiang Lan’s body, causing minimal harm, but eight chains of dark light spread from the impact point, thoroughly binding Jiang Lan to the wall!

"Second Seat?!"

He Zheng exclaimed in shock, struggling to get up.

However, Liu Dongming turned his head, casting a cold glance, and with a flash of dark light on the demon wings behind him, over a dozen Demon Bullets shot towards He Zheng.

"Bang bang bang...!"

The dark light exploded, stone fragments splattered, and He Zheng was blasted away, vomiting blood!

Still, Liu Dongming didn’t bother with him, his wings behind him fluttering, and in an instant, he came not far in front of Jiang Lan.

On Jiang Lan’s body, Water Light surged continuously, impacting the binding of the Black Gun, his eyes glaring angrily at Liu Dongming, full of fury and murderous intent.

"You traitor...!"

"Traitor?" A slight sneer appeared on Liu Dongming’s indifferent face, "Traitors can become stronger, can be used... but the weak can only die!"

As he spoke, Liu Dongming glanced around at the heavily injured, unknown life and death Vermilion Bird Courtiers, speaking coldly, "Even if you huddle together, you’ll still die!"

"You truly deserve to die!"

Jiang Lan’s eyes shone coldly as he looked at Liu Dongming.

"Wrong..." Liu Dongming sneered, "The one who ought to die now is you!"

Liu Dongming opened his left hand towards Jiang Lan, a thick, ink-like Star Power Fluctuation burst forth, and massive amounts of hair-raising black light slowly gathered together.

"For the sake of our former camaraderie, I’ll give you a quick death. This cannon will blast you into a pool of bloody flesh in an instant!" Liu Dongming’s face showed a few traces of cruelty and excitement.

Jiang Lan’s pupils contracted, his gaze falling on the rapidly forming Demon Cannon, a trace of distraction in his eyes.

Not just because of the intense aura of death emanating from it, but also because...

"I still haven’t avenged Nangong..."

Under the illumination of the black light of the Demon Cannon, memories of past times with Nangong Li working together in the Sky Patrol Department flashed through Jiang Lan’s mind like a carousel.

Although he had now comprehended True Form Release, Liu Dongming’s strength was even greater than expected.

Claiming to seek revenge, not only had he failed, but he had also risked the lives of all his Vermilion Bird Courtiers... he was truly laughable.

However...

The Demon Cannon was fully formed, yet Jiang Lan’s expression suddenly focused, staring fixedly at Liu Dongming:

"Liu Dongming, Su True Monarch, will definitely kill you for us! Not just you, but also other Truth Knights!"

Vermilion Bird Guardian Su Yuan...

Hearing this name, Liu Dongming couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

The first time he saw the opponent in the Grey Realm, he was only in the Chongyang Realm, yet now, he had become the "Truth Killer" in the Sky Patrol Department who had slain the most Truth Knights!

In terms of threat level, he faintly surpassed even Xiahou, Fang Yuan, and the other Five Imperial True Monarchs, such growth speed was truly spine-chilling!

Now that the opponent had taken over as the Vermilion Bird Imperial True Monarch, he would certainly not spare him, the "traitor" of the Vermilion Bird Courtiers.

But Liu Dongming quickly let out a cold smile.

"In this Secret Realm, the Fool will lead us to annihilate all the Five Imperial experts of the Sky Patrol Department, laying the groundwork for the Earth Tribulation situation... naturally including Vermilion Bird Guardian Su Yuan!

And no matter what... now it’s time to send you to death, Jiang Lan!"

Liu Dongming’s face showed traces of violence and ferocity.

Jiang Lan looked at the violently trembling Demon Cannon about to fire in front of him, his eyes widening.

And at that moment, a flicker of Spirit Light appeared, seemingly accompanied by a faint Space fluctuation appearing right in front...

"Boom!!"

The fully charged large Demon Cannon fired, a loud explosion sounded, black light burst, the palace shattered, and countless debris and dust shot up into the sky!

But Liu Dongming furrowed his brows, staring intently ahead.

At the moment the Demon Cannon fired, something seemed to appear ahead.

It happened so quickly he didn’t see it clearly himself...

And in Liu Dongming’s eyes, Spirit Light and smoke slowly dissipated.

Soon, a silver-haired, silver-eyed youth dressed in the Vermilion Bird Robe appeared out of nowhere in front of Jiang Lan.

And in the area around him, including Jiang Lan, not to mention being damaged, even the dust on the ground was undisturbed!

"Is that so..." Meeting Liu Dongming’s gaze, the youth said blandly, "If I didn’t hear wrong, you want to kill me... Liu Dongming?"

Seeing the person ahead, Liu Dongming’s pupils contracted sharply. In an instant, he felt an extreme danger emanating from every cell in his body!

"True Monarch?!"

Seeing the newcomer, the severely injured He Zheng, Baili Xu, were overjoyed, unable to suppress their cries of surprise.

This person was none other than Su Yuan, who had emerged from the Ziwei Hall!

Jiang Lan’s eyes widened, looking at the not-so-tall back of the person in front of him, the tight, aggrieved, desperate emotions in his heart suddenly calmed down.

He opened his mouth but couldn’t speak, after a long time, only three words were uttered from Jiang Lan’s lips.

"You came!"

Su Yuan turned to look at Jiang Lan, nodded and said, "Mm, I came."
