The plan of the Crimson Firmament Sect was for Feng Tongzheng to bring a group of elite disciples to the Horizontal Imperial City in a low profile to participate in the Swordsman Competition to prevent the population from falling. Therefore, not to mention outsiders, only a few people in the Crimson Firmament Sect knew about this news. However, no one knew what sort of consideration the sect had given to the news of Feng Tongzheng's death, and they did not announce this news to the public.

"How did you know about this!" Lu Houde asked subconsciously after being slightly stunned.

Naturally, this question was somewhat redundant. For a death news that had not been announced to the public, apart from the people in charge of the matters in the sect, only the murderer was left with the knowledge of this matter.

Lu Houde understood this reasoning, but he could not believe such a fact.

Although Feng Tongzheng's cultivation was slightly inferior to his and Hu Man'er's, he was still a Great Evolution Realm expert. How could Xu Han have the ability to kill him along with more than ten elite disciples? One had to know that the ten disciples could also form a small Vermillion Bird Five Flames Formation and bless Feng Tongzheng. Even Lu Houde had to avoid three points of the power that could erupt from Feng Tongzheng's body.

If Xu Han really had the ability to kill Feng Tongzheng, that would also mean that he had enough strength to pose a threat to him. How could Lu Houde , who originally thought that he would win, accept such a change, so he asked this seemingly superfluous question.

"You'll know soon." But the answer was a cold snort from Xu Han.

As soon as the youth finished speaking, his body suddenly moved.

Xu Han arrived at a distance of tens of feet in a blink of an eye.

Lu Houde was shocked. He was about to say something bad, but a divine light flashed in his eyes, and he was able to see through Xu Han's trajectory.

A Heavenly Hunt Realm cultivator, a Violet Firmament Realm physical body.

Once this cultivator broke through the Heavenly Hunt Realm and arrived at the Leaving Dust Realm, his physical body would welcome a qualitative leap over. Especially his five senses and senses would become extremely sensitive. For Lu Houde, who had arrived at the Great Evolution Realm, this kind of change was even more obvious. Even if it was just a panicked glance, he could clearly see Xu Han's cultivation without the slightest omission.

Compared to the previous battles, Xu Han's cultivation had not improved. Even if he was hiding something strange in his body, he was determined that he would not be a match for Feng Tongzheng, who was supported by the Vermillion Bird Five Flames Formation.

In that case, the person who killed Feng Tongzheng was someone else, and Xu Han was merely lucky enough to obtain this information to deceive him?

Thinking back, Ning Long, who was traveling with Xu Han and the others, had left Heng Imperial City a few days ago. Could it be that he had killed Feng Tongzheng and then let Xu Han tell him about it?

Thinking of this, Lu Houde felt that Xu Han was trying to scare him, and his heart was swept away.

At this moment, Xu Han had already arrived in front of him.

The youth leapt up high at that time, but surprisingly, he did not pull out his sword. Instead, he swung his right hand high and clenched it into a fist, smashing straight towards Lu Houde 's face.

Ding Lingling.

The bell on his right arm rang leisurely in response to his movements.

This punch did not have any sword intent to support it, nor did it have any True Essence to protect it.

It was just a punch, a simple and clear punch. It was like a reckless man fighting in the streets. It had no bearing or aura, but it carried with it a grand rage that was as burning as the summer sun.

That punch ruthlessly rang out in front of Lu Houde .

His speed wasn't fast, so Lu Houde had enough time to react. The Scarlet Firmament Sect's elder stretched out his hand very easily, and a barrier of flames suddenly appeared between his and Xu Han's fists.

He had already thought about how he would counterattack after receiving Xu Han's punch, and how he would cruelly and happily kill this annoying youth.

Boom!

That punch landed on Lu Houde 's True Essence Barrier.

As he had expected, with Xu Han's cultivation, it was impossible for him to break through the barrier that he had activated with all his strength. Furthermore, Xu Han had yet to use any internal strength to defeat him with his physical body. This was like a fool's dream to Lu Houde .

A cold smile appeared on Lu Houde 's face. He looked at the ferocious-looking youth and opened his lips to vent the resentment he had accumulated in his heart these past few days.

Squeak!

However, before his words could be spoken, an extremely soft and crisp sound suddenly entered his ears.

It was like the sound of shoddy ceramics breaking apart under the corrosion of time, and this sound came from the True Essence Barrier that he had said it would activate.

Lu Houde's heart trembled. At this moment, he discovered that his True Essence Barrier, which he thought was as solid as gold soup, had actually split open a crack where it came into contact with Xu Han's fist. As time passed, the crack rapidly spread in all directions.

Purple light flashed in Xu Han's eyes. His right arm began to expand, causing the white cloth wrapped around it to immediately become tense. He could even clearly see the tall and protruding blood vessels beneath the white cloth. It was as if they could be burst at any moment.

There was something strange about this arm!

Lu Houde quickly came to his senses.

But it was too late.

Xu Han's right arm was once again swung up by him. This time, his speed was extremely fast, from swinging up to falling down again. However, in an instant, even the surrounding Great Evolution Realm experts could barely catch the trajectory of the youth swinging his fist.

Boom!

Another muffled sound rang out.

Lu Houde 's face was deathly pale, and the cracks on the True Essence Barrier were as dense as spider silk.

Xu Han's eyebrows stopped. He waved his fist again, and his right arm expanded even more. He could already clearly see the difference between his left arm and his right arm. It was only natural that the power wrapped in this punch was even more terrifying than before.

Bang!

Another punch landed, and the True Essence Barrier instantly broke open like glass, while Xu Han's fist continued to move forward. This time, he unbiased punched Lu Houde's face with this punch.

This punch was extremely heavy. How could Lu Houde withstand it? Thus, his body suddenly flew backwards and landed not far from the arena.

At this moment, the surroundings were completely silent. They looked at the youth with the thick right arm and the murderous aura surging between his eyebrows. All of them widened their eyes. At this moment, none of them dared to doubt whether what Xu Han had said before was a crazy person's dream.

However, the youth who won in one strike had no intention of chasing after him. He smiled sinisterly at Lu Houde, who was crawling up in a sorry state, and said, "Now, does Elder Lu know why?"

Lu Houde looked at Xu Han, who was smiling sinisterly, but a chill rose in his heart.

He understood why Xu Han didn't choose to chase after him. This youth clearly had a certain chance of winning. He wanted to let him taste the taste of life and death before killing him.
