"No, don't come near me! Don't come near me..." A bloodied man crawled with difficulty on the ground. Seeing the 'demon' walking out from the rubble, he collapsed, crying out in terror.

"I beg you, spare me. I won't trouble you ever again, just spare me..." In the face of death, the man discarded all his dignity, kneeling to plead for mercy.

The 'demon' was unmoved by the man's plea, reaching out and snapping his neck with ease, as simple as killing a chick.

Bang~ The corpse fell to the ground. It was the only complete corpse at the scene, though the head had spun three times.

...

"What? The Lu Ming Pavilion was completely annihilated?" Fu Mingcheng suddenly stood up, looking shocked at the messenger. He had just reached a cooperation agreement with the Pavilion Master of Lu Ming Pavilion, but in the blink of an eye, the Lu Ming Pavilion had been wiped out.

After calming down, Fu Mingcheng asked, "Who did this?"

The messenger said, "According to the survivors from Lu Ming Pavilion, it was the Shura Evil Ghost who did it. He annihilated everyone in Lu Ming Pavilion all by himself."

"Shura Evil Ghost! He took out everyone in Lu Ming Pavilion alone?" Fu Mingcheng asked in disbelief.

The enmity between Lu Ming Pavilion and Iron Tomb wasn't short-lived; a force that could hassle Iron Tomb was actually exterminated by one person.

Is the Shura Evil Ghost really that powerful? Fu Mingcheng thought of Lu Yu; it seemed the Eight Great Fiends were pursuing Lu Yu.

"No, I must quickly notify Lu Yu, not to leave Beifeng City recently." Fu Mingcheng hurriedly sent a warning message to Lu Yu.

According to what he knew, seven of the Eight Great Fiends had already fallen to Lu Yu. Only the Shura Evil Ghost was left. He originally thought the strength of the Eight Great Fiends shouldn't be that different.

But now it seems the strength of the leader of the Eight Great Fiends is vastly different from the other seven, almost like two separate levels of adversary.

Lu Ming Pavilion had two Martial Cultivators in the Core Formation Realm possessing Divine Soldiers, yet they were easily crushed by the Shura Evil Ghost. The Shura Evil Ghost is definitely beyond Lu Yu's capability to handle.

"Hmm, got it." Seeing Lu Yu's response, Fu Mingcheng's heart calmed a little, but he still felt insecure.

The Shura Evil Ghost might not be able to obliterate Jianghu Tong as a whole, but targeting him for a decapitation strike would be very easy.

Fu Mingcheng felt extremely insecure. Though he could log out to evade pursuit if the Shura Evil Ghost came for him, he didn't want to live in constant danger.

Who knows when he might appear, and if he's not quick enough to log out, he'd be dead.

Fu Mingcheng paced around the room several times, dialing a friend's communication, "Xian Yu, help me prepare a secret safe house, don't let anyone else know the location of the safe house..."

He also sent a message to Lu Yu, saying if there was any recent news, Fu Mingcheng would inform him through a Communication Talisman, and there was no need to go to Jianghu Tong's base to look for him.

Fu Mingcheng had become afraid of dying, becoming timid.

In the past, Fu Mingcheng might also have feared death, but he was daring, adventurous, and brave.

Now that he had more to lose, the fear of losing it all made him more timid.

Lu Yu had just finished a cultivation session when he received Fu Mingcheng's message. Learning that the Shura Evil Ghost might appear in Beifeng City soon, Lu Yu felt somewhat eager.

Before facing the Shura Evil Ghost, Lu Yu had to enhance his own strength.

Leaving the cultivation room, Lu Yu headed to the Tongtian Tower to absorb the recent improvement in his cultivation.

Upon teleporting into Tongtian Tower, he arrived at the highest level he had previously reached. The magical creatures here only had the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation Realm, extremely weak for Lu Yu.

Without any hesitation, upon entering Tongtian Tower, Lu Yu immediately executed Heaven's Edge Ruler Step, transforming into a rainbow light and flew towards the central light pillar leading to the next layer.

The magical creatures, sensing Lu Yu, didn't have time to attack before he disappeared from their perception range.

Lu Yu directly charged into the light pillar.

In the ninety-sixth layer of Tongtian Tower, a rainbow streaked through the air, crashing into the teleportation light pillar and disappearing.

On the ninety-seventh layer of Tongtian Tower, a rainbow streak flew by...

The elder managing Tongtian Tower noticed Lu Yu's rapid movement within and pondered for a moment, then adjusted Lu Yu's teleportation level to leap across 10 layers.

Lu Yu stepped into the 100th layer, earning a summit reward of 10,000 Points, and flew at high speed in rainbow form, encountering swarms of flying magical creatures, but without a shred of evasion, he pierced right through them.

Boom~ Bang bang bang! After Lu Yu passed through, the pervasive magical creatures exploded and were burned to ashes by golden flames.

Receiving numerous kill prompts, Lu Yu glanced briefly and lost interest in grinding experience. Although these magical creatures possessed the first layer of the Qi Controlling Realm, they only provided Lu Yu with minimal, insignificant experience points, akin to scraps.

Upon crashing into the teleportation light pillar, Lu Yu found himself directly at the 110th layer, the token on his waist vibrating, upgrading him to the 110th layer and awarding him 11,000 Points as a summit bonus.

"Hmm?" Lu Yu intended to continue, but upon noticing the prompt, he keenly observed the change in layers and, thinking briefly, understood.

He had skipped 9 layers during transmission.

He looked up towards the sky, where the black clouds rolled, enveloped by Demonic Qi. He speculated that the Artifact Spirit of Tongtian Tower had assessed his strength, altering his teleportation sequence.

"This isn't bad." A slight smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yu's mouth. Glancing at the approaching magical creature, he paid it no attention and flew away in rainbow form.
