"Red blood? This woman actually bleeds red—she's from the Immortal Realm!" The City Lord exclaimed in shock when he saw the Emerald Immortal Empress's blood.
For a moment, everyone was stunned. No one expected Immortal Realm people to appear in the Demonic Realm. The Immortal-Demon War had just ended, and many soldiers hadn't even returned to the city. Even though everyone knew the Demonic Realm had lost, it was hard to believe these two were actually Immortal Realm experts.
Even a fool could tell what their presence here meant—they'd come to probe the Demonic Realm's strength. Maybe the Immortal Realm was planning another all-out war. A chill ran through everyone present.
Everyone instantly had the same thought: these two had to be killed here in the Demonic Realm. If they took news of the Demonic Realm's condition back to the Immortal Realm, it could spell disaster. That outcome could not be allowed.
Evan Chu quickly rushed to the Emerald Immortal Empress’s side. He hadn’t expected things to turn out this way—the old man had such a powerful defensive magic weapon, and now their identities were exposed. That meant everyone here would have to be killed.
Anyway, these people were from the Demonic Realm. Since ancient times, Immortal Realm and Demonic Realm cultivators had always been enemies. Killing them didn't matter—in this world, the strong eat the weak and everything is decided by force.
"Jade, are you alright?" Evan Chu asked worriedly.
"Young Master, I'm fine. I was just careless this time—I didn't expect that old man's attack to be so strong, and he even had a powerful defensive magic weapon. Next time he won't be so lucky. I’ll definitely kill him." The Emerald Immortal Empress said.
"You don’t need to kill him. You’re injured, so you should rest. Let me handle that old man. Now that our identities are exposed, everyone here must die. Once I’ve disabled the City Lord, you can interrogate him for the information we need." Evan Chu said.
Jade had no worries about Evan Chu’s strength. She nodded immediately and said, “Be careful, Young Master. As long as you seriously injure the City Lord, I’ll definitely get the information we need from him.”
The old man fighting Jade wasn’t injured, but his face looked terrible—his beloved magic weapon had been destroyed. If Jade launched another attack like that, he might be the one seriously hurt, maybe even worse than her.
Evan Chu shouted, "You old bastard, how dare you use such a sneaky defensive magic weapon and even injure my friend? Today, you die here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Frostbane Divine Sword appeared in Evan Chu’s hand. He unleashed Divine Cleave in a flash—striking first, as usual. Divine Cleave was already terrifying, but this time, fueled by anger, it was even stronger.
On top of that, his cultivation was now at late Immortal Emperor realm—he could ascend to the God Realm at any moment. This strike was just as powerful as when he used the Unicorn Arm at mid-stage Immortal Emperor.
The moment Evan Chu struck, the space trembled even more violently than before. A powerful energy vortex and storm formed instantly, and giant waves erupted across the lake—an awe-inspiring sight.
"Kid, your opponent is me!" The City Lord saw Evan Chu attacking the old man and sensed the power of that strike. He shouted loudly, producing a black staff in his hand, and smashed a flurry of stick shadows toward Evan Chu.
The City Lord’s attack was clearly even stronger than the old man’s. From this one move, it was obvious his cultivation was close to—or maybe already at—the God-Lord Realm; otherwise, with so many strong demons in the Demonic Realm, he wouldn’t be the City Lord.
Evan Chu didn’t dare take those stick shadows lightly. They wouldn’t really hurt him, but getting knocked flying in front of everyone would be humiliating—and would disgrace the Immortal Realm’s reputation. He quickly dodged, abandoning his Divine Cleave attack, so the slash ended up cutting into empty air.
Of course, since he dodged, the City Lord’s attack couldn’t hurt him either. From the opponent’s power, Evan Chu already had a good idea of his strength. To defeat him, he’d need to use the Unicorn Arm. As for Ninefold Divine-Dragon Metamorphosis, that wasn’t necessary—if he did, he might kill the City Lord outright, ruining their chance to get information.
Evan Chu glanced coldly at the old man. For daring to injure Jade, he’d already sentenced him to death in his heart. Jade wasn’t his woman, but she was like a younger sister, and he’d never allow anyone to hurt her. Since the old man had done it, only blood could pay for it.
With a single thought, Evan Chu activated Light Transformation and vanished into thin air. Now that their identities were exposed, he had to kill everyone here—his targets were all the strong experts who’d followed them. He also sent a secret sound transmission to Jade, explaining his intentions.
When Evan Chu suddenly disappeared, everyone was shocked and stared at the sky in confusion. As a late-stage Demon Emperor was about to speak, he suddenly felt a surge of energy behind him.
Before he could even turn around, a sharp pain stabbed through his chest—a longsword pierced straight through his heart, destroying both his body and his demonic infant. The sudden attack left him no chance to resist.
His body plummeted toward the lake, splashing up a huge wave before sinking beneath the surface. Just like that, a late-stage Demon Emperor was silently killed by Evan Chu.
Everyone was even more terrified by this development—no one expected something like this to happen. This guy was far too strange. The Immortal Realm actually had experts this powerful; it was truly frightening.
A few experts immediately gathered together, standing back-to-back in midair. They drew their weapons and spread out their spiritual senses, watching for any energy fluctuations nearby. If anything seemed off, they would attack at once.
It was a good idea, but it would only work on others. Who was Evan Chu? He was the strongest in the Immortal Realm—even the Demonic Realm’s top expert had died by his hand. These few were no match for him.
Evan Chu hid his body about twenty meters away—the optimal range for Divine Cleave. At that moment, he frantically circulated Chaos Immortal Force within himself, pouring it into his right arm.
A few breaths later, his figure flashed into view. An earth-shattering attack erupted in the sky—space trembled and twisted as if it might break apart, and the lake’s waters surged into hundred-meter-high waves. A raging energy storm swept across the sky.
With that strike, Evan Chu’s Divine Cleave wiped out all the City Lord’s Mansion experts—there weren’t even any corpses left, as if they’d vanished completely. But the aftershocks of Divine Cleave remained: aside from the hundred-meter waves, there were volcanic eruptions hundreds of miles away, and even a mountain appeared out of nowhere.
Now only the City Lord and the old man remained. Evan Chu’s attack had completely stunned them—they’d never seen such power in one place before. Fear gripped their hearts, and the urge to flee welled up uncontrollably…
