Qingyuan quickly retrieved the relevant information.
"A high-ranking immortal who has been granted the title of King, whose true form is the 'Dark Nightmare Serpent,' is quite infamous in the demon race."
"Tears of the King?"
After a moment's thought, Lu Ming recalled the information he had obtained when he killed the Nightmare Serpent Marquis, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"Why did he contact me? I don't think we have any connection."
“Master, the Nightmare Serpent Marquis you killed earlier was the younger brother of this Tearful King.”
Qingyuan added.
"I see."
Lu Ming suddenly realized, and then chuckled softly.
“After beating the younger one, the older one comes. Fine, since he wants to find me so much, let’s send him to reunite with his younger brother. That way, he won’t have to miss me day and night and suffer any more trouble.”
His tone was flat, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
"Qingyuan, mark the locations of the powerful alien races in the vicinity."
Lu Ming gave the instructions.
"First, pick a few 'suitable' targets."
The virtual screen lit up, clearly displaying a map showing the distribution of powerful alien races within a radius of several light-years.
There are more than a dozen points of light representing those who have been granted the title of King, and there are even more than a dozen points representing those who have been granted the title of Marquis, with the demon race making up a considerable portion of them.
I'm late today, so I'm posting an extra chapter.
Thank you to all the readers for your continued reading, donations, and monthly tickets.
Thank you (≧≦)
Chapter 45 Lord of the Burning Sky Realm, I've finally locked onto you!
Lu Ming's gaze lingered on several points of light emitting relatively weak energy fluctuations.
"Okay, let's start with these."
He randomly selected three targets—two peak-level demon clan marquises and one initial-level demon clan king.
"We need to 'warm up' first, and by the way... give that Tearful King a little 'hope'."
"What if we show too much power right from the start and scare this guy away so he won't dare to come back?"
"We have to give them a chance to 'get revenge,' so that they feel there's an opportunity and will come knocking on our door."
Lu Ming's smile carried a hint of coldness.
"When fishing, you always have to put some bait in first to lure the fish over, right?"
He had no intention of searching the world for that Tearful King. The best way was to have him come to him!
Showing a portion of one's strength, while "just" falling within the range that the opponent believes they can handle, is undoubtedly the best bait.
"Qingyuan, lock onto the first target, that lone demon clan peak-level Marquis 'Flame Claw Marquis'."
"Yes, Master!"
The meteor shuttle started up again, like a hunter in the dark, silently stealthily moving towards its first prey.
……
In a shattered star field filled with floating metal debris, two figures are engaged in a fierce battle.
On one side was the "Flame Claw Marquis," a demon clan marquis whose body was engulfed in crimson flames and whose claws tore through the void;
On the other side is the human marquis "Binglinhou," who wields ice crystal chains with agile movements.
The two were evenly matched in strength. Their laws clashed, their divine power surged, and they fought a fierce and evenly matched battle.
Just as Flame Claw Marquis forced Ice Rain Marquis back with a vicious claw strike and was about to press his advantage,
A dark red streak of light suddenly cut into the battlefield and stopped precisely between the two.
boom! !
Lu Ming appeared, his gaze sweeping over the two sides engaged in battle, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"You two are having quite a fight."
He spoke in a relaxed tone.
"However, with such a great scene, you shouldn't mind having one more participant, right?"
Binglin Hou frowned slightly and cautiously retreated a few steps. He recognized Lu Ming as human, but the situation on the extraterritorial battlefield was complex, and he dared not be careless.
The moment Yanzhao Hou saw Lu Ming's face, his pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock, "It's you! Lord of the Burning Sky Realm!"
Lu Ming's name had already spread throughout the demon race camp, especially among those who had been granted titles of nobility, who remembered Lu Ming's images and information very clearly.
"It seems I'm quite famous."
Lu Ming looked at Yan Zhaohou in a calm tone.
"By now, you should have sent out my coordinates by now, right?"
Yanzhao Hou's heart skipped a beat. He had indeed sent out the information "Discovered the Burning Sky Realm Lord, coordinates XXX" through the emergency communication channels within the demon race the moment Lu Ming appeared. But he didn't understand why Lu Ming would ask such a question.
"What do you mean?"
Marquis Yanzhao stared warily at Lu Ming, his divine power surging around him.
"I mean……"
Lu Ming's smile vanished instantly, and his eyes turned icy cold.
"Now that the intelligence has been sent out, your mission is complete."
"You can die now!!"
The moment the last word was uttered, Lu Ming's figure vanished like a ghost!
Yanzhao Hou felt a blur before his eyes, and a deadly sense of crisis came from behind him!
He tried to turn around and attack again, but it was too late!
Whoosh!
A faint, almost imperceptible stream of gray light, accompanied by the tip of the specially made Yan Kong Blade in Lu Ming's hand, gently touched the weak point at the connection of his back armor.
laugh--!
The Flame Claw Marquis's burning divine body suddenly stiffened. He looked down in disbelief as a dark gray color rapidly spread from the spot where he had been hit!
Wherever he went, his immortal divine body melted and annihilated at an unprecedented speed, like ice and snow thrown into a raging fire!
He could even clearly "hear" his own divine power wailing and collapsing!
"You...are poisonous!"
Flame Claw Marquis's eyes were filled with terror and despair; he only had time to let out this last roar.
Before he could finish speaking, the gloomy color had already covered his entire body.
The next moment, the enormous demonic divine body of Marquis Yanzhao vanished completely into the starry sky like a weathered sand sculpture, leaving not a speck of dust behind.
The peak of the demon race's marquisate, the Flame Claw Marquis, has fallen!
From the moment Lu Ming made his move to the complete annihilation of Yanzhao Hou, the entire process took only a fleeting instant.
Binglinhou, who was standing by in a state of high alert, was dumbfounded, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat.
He could see clearly that Lu Ming had annihilated a demon race peak-level Marquis with a single strike, seemingly relying mainly on some kind of terrifying "venom"!
"Lord of the Burning Sky Realm..."
Binglinhou's throat was a little dry, and his gaze toward Lu Ming was filled with awe.
Lu Ming acted as if he had done something insignificant, casually putting away the items left behind by Marquis Yanzhao and nodding slightly to Marquis Binglin.
Suppressing his shock, Binglin Hou stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your help, Lord Fenkong!"
Lu Ming waved his hand, his tone still indifferent: "We're both in the human camp, it's just a small favor."
"This place is not safe to stay for long; you should leave as soon as possible."
Binglin Hou was slightly taken aback: "Leave? Lord Burning Sky Realm, you..."
Lu Ming's lips curled into a meaningful smile, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of void, looking towards the unknown distance: "I'm waiting here for a big fish. That guy should have sent out the coordinates before he died."
He looked at Binglin Hou: "The situation that's about to unfold is probably beyond your control. Take advantage of the fact that it's still relatively safe and leave quickly."
Binglin Hou instantly understood, and was even more horrified.
The Lord of Burning Sky Realm deliberately revealed his coordinates, intending to use himself as bait to lure a stronger enemy to come!
Recalling the previous information about the Tears King's bounty on Lu Ming, he immediately realized who Lu Ming was waiting for—a high-level immortal who had been granted the title of King!
"Lord Burning Sky Realm, you intend to face King Tear Chaser alone? That's a high-ranking king!"
Binglin Hou couldn't help but speak up.
Although Lu Ming had just killed Yanzhao Hou in an instant, the gap between a Marquis and a high-ranking King is like an insurmountable chasm.
"High-ranking title of King?"
Lu Ming chuckled lightly, but there was no seriousness in his eyes; instead, there was a hint of anticipation.
“Perfect, my title of king needs such an opponent to be forged.”
Seeing that Binglin Hou was about to say something more, he interrupted him directly, saying, "I appreciate your kindness, but staying here will only be a burden to me. Let's go."
Having said all that, Binglin Hou knew that staying would be pointless and might even distract Lu Ming.
He bowed solemnly once more: "In that case, Lord Burning Sky Realm Master, take care! I wish you a resounding victory and that you will bring glory to humankind!"
Having said that, Binglin Hou no longer hesitated. His figure transformed into a streak of icy blue light and quickly fled in a direction far away from this area. In a few flashes, he disappeared into the end of the starry sky.
As he watched Binglinhou leave, the relaxed expression on Lu Ming's face gradually faded.
He did not stay in one place, but instead piloted the Meteor Shuttle, seemingly roaming casually through this shattered star field, while subtly emanating his own aura of law.
