"Hmph, just a monkey head, although an evil demon, it's not enough to be feared." The Red Leaf General understood clearly that Sun Wukong's strength was roughly comparable to the Eighth Layer of the Zifu Realm. His defense was strong, making it difficult to injure him. If it weren't for such defense, he would have been subdued already.

Yet, the Red Leaf General was not in a hurry.

On this side of the battlefield, Tangyu did not pay attention but instead looked at the Red Leaf General and, with a slight smile, said, "Your Hongchen Palace has always been incredibly mysterious. This hidden place, if we hadn't accidentally stumbled upon it, would probably remain undiscovered by outsiders. The Hongchen Palace intends to overthrow the world, bringing catastrophe. Although I am insignificant, before the Red Dust Catastrophe, no one can escape. Today, I've stumbled on you, so naturally, I must uproot you, this cancerous tumor."

The Red Leaf General sneered, "Ridiculous, utterly ignorant. Do you dare to speak such nonsense? At such a young age, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue? Who gave you such courage? The power of the Hongchen Palace is far beyond what a young lad like you can imagine. This Cultivation World will soon be under the rule of the Hongchen Palace, where everything must submit, and no one can defy its will. Those who block us will surely die. Even the Seeking Immortal Realm entities, let alone a mere Zifu Realm adept like you, will perish in large numbers. Those who do not submit will die."

Tangyu raised an eyebrow and said, "That is a matter for the future. What hasn't happened yet, I never consider real. Regardless of what things will be like in the future, unfortunately, you won't be able to see it. I suggest you think about your current situation. I'm too lazy to waste words on you; show all your skills if you have any."

Tangyu's words were indeed quite arrogant.

Bear in mind, the Red Leaf General is a Ninth Layer adept of the Zifu Realm. Below the Seeking Immortal Realm, he has few equals. Who dares to speak to him like this? Even if there are any, they would probably end up dead. Yet, Tangyu dared to make such bold claims, an enormous insult and provocation to the Red Leaf General.

The Red Leaf General laughed instead of getting angry. "What a sharp-tongued boy, small but not timid. Hmph, so ignorant, this general will fulfill you and let you die quickly. Today, you all must die!"

Though the Red Leaf General appeared calm, he was actually seething with anger, a murderous intent flowing like raging fire. Finally unable to restrain himself, he attacked, entirely infuriated by Tangyu. When the Red Leaf General made his move, it was naturally extraordinary, exuding immense power, plunging the heavens and earth into a terrifying aura as if about to collapse. The giant sword in his hand turned into streams of terrifying Sword Qi, sweeping across with the momentum of wreaking havoc, directly striking at Tangyu.

Each strand of Sword Qi could easily tear through the void, capable of destroying a region. The terrible might of this Sword Force surged overwhelmingly towards Tangyu, like massive waves of an earth-shattering tsunami slamming into him. The sheer might of this Sword Force alone was enough to make one's heart tremble.

Facing such oppression, Tangyu was also ignited with a fervent fighting spirit. This kind of opponent was exactly what he wanted. The feeling of a life-and-death struggle was what best fueled his battle spirit.

"You're just in time, I'll use you to test my axe!" Tangyu swung the Pangu Axe in his hand, unleashing the Ninth Axe of the Pangu Nine Axes. An earth-shattering blow with a colossal axe, radiating ten thousand rays of golden light, descended with a formidable force. The Pangu Nine Axes followed the path of destruction. However, Tangyu was too weak in the path of destruction, far inferior to the Yin Yang Path and the Sword Great Path. But these Pangu Nine Axes, being the supreme immortal technique, displayed an incredibly terrifying destructive power with just one blow.

Rumble——

The Sword Qi from the Red Leaf General clashed with Tangyu's Pangu Axe, producing a series of resonant clangs, the Sword Qi being blocked.

The Red Leaf General's expression turned grim, a cold smile crossing his face. "Boy, you do have some ability, stronger than that monkey head. The Pangu Nine Axes, a supreme immortal technique from the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect; it seems you are a disciple of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect. Hmph, I didn't expect a small sect like the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect to produce such a genius. The Pangu Nine Axes, since the time of Pangu Immortal Venerate, no one has been able to cultivate all nine axes. That you have cultivated all nine axes explains why the power is so formidable and terrifying."

"With your mere Second Layer in the Zifu Realm, to block one of my sword strikes is already something you can be proud of. However, this is your limit. With just this ability, you won't survive today. For such a peerless genius as you, killing you will surely earn me great merit. Die, die!"

The Red Leaf General grew somewhat sinisterly excited. Killing a talent of such magnitude would undoubtedly be a great accomplishment, possibly surpassing the achievements he's made guarding this place, allowing him to leave sooner.

Having spent endless days in this dull Foreign Domain Space, he was weary.

Therefore, his desire to kill Tangyu became fervent.

However, Tangyu laughed lightly, "Red Leaf General, I know your strength is commendable, but do you think this is all I have? Hmph, hmph, without some skill, how would I dare fight you? So what if you are Ninth Layer of the Zifu Realm? I live for challenges."

"Hmph, challenges? Any challenge must be based on a certain level of strength, otherwise, it's not a challenge, it's seeking death. Your current behavior is seeking death." The Red Leaf General sneered dismissively. A mere Second Layer adept of the Zifu Realm daring to boast of challenges before him was truly ignorant.

"Then taste my sword again." Tangyu didn't stand on ceremony, he simply slashed out with his sword. The Bright Moon Style's slash contained Tangyu's extensive comprehension of the Yin Yang Great Path and the Sword Great Path. At this moment, the sword was unleashed with the might of the Great Dao, terrifying beyond measure. Coupled with Tangyu's realm power and the late-stage power of the Fourth Layer of Divine Demon Body Refinement, all combined and pushed to the extreme, it also became unbelievably frightening.

When dealing with the Seventh Prince of the Yao Race before, Tangyu's realm had not yet broken through. At that time, he could already force the Seventh Prince of the Yao Race into a sorry retreat. Now with the realm advancement by one layer, his strength had significantly grown. Now, Tangyu's full-strength strike could indeed pose a life-threatening danger to the Seventh Prince of the Yao Race.

"Mm, what a terrifying sword, what a delicate sword." Sensing the momentum of Tangyu's strike, General Hongye's expression immediately changed. Such a sword, truly marvelous beyond comparison. With his Ninth Layer Zifu Realm perspective, he could naturally see the profound comprehension of the Yin Yang Great Path and the Sword Great Path within this sword, comprehension surpassing even his own as a Ninth Layer Zifu Realm great power.

This made General Hongye have to be amazed, realizing he had underestimated this young man.

Who could have thought that the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect could produce such an unparalleled genius? Such astonishing talent is rare even through the ages. If allowed to grow, in the future, he could truly become a world-shaking figure. Such a peerless personality poses a threat to Hongchen Palace, and such a character should be killed early to prevent future troubles.

While General Hongye was surprised, he also became frenzied with fervor: "Killing this boy, the reward I will obtain must be immensely rich. Perhaps, I could soar to great heights through this accomplishment. Killing this boy, no matter the cost, I must kill this boy."

To not go mad is to not survive.

Such a massive temptation here is enough to make General Hongye risk his life.

General Hongye's face turned frenzied and hideous. The giant sword in his hand was also pushed to the limit, with dazzling sword beams shooting out, surging and sweeping. After all, General Hongye was a Ninth Layer Zifu Realm great power; his full effort made his strength terrifying indeed.

Clang! Clang! Clang!!!

Their swords clashed fiercely in mid-air, with sparks flying from the collided sharpness.

General Hongye sneered, "Haha, blocked it. Although your Sword Force is strong, your realm is after all too low, too low. I, General Hongye, am a renowned great power; how could I let a young lad take advantage? What other methods do you have? What other methods do you have? Humph, humph, your swordsmanship can't do anything to me, General Hongye. If it's a battle of attrition, you can't afford it; I'm a Ninth Layer Zifu Realm, and you're merely a mere Second Layer Zifu Realm. Without other methods, you should just die, die!"

General Hongye was feeling good. He had worried earlier about being unable to block Tangyu's sword, but it seems that he was overthinking.

This sword, though powerful, was blocked by him, Hongye.

If it were a battle of attrition, Tangyu evidently couldn't match General Hongye. This was undoubtedly true. The difference in realms alone was too vast, let alone the sheer amount of immortal power. In a battle of attrition, Tangyu would perish quickly.

Tangyu's brow furrowed slightly: "It seems the Bright Moon Style's momentum is still somewhat weak. I thought I could easily defeat a Ninth Layer great power, but it's not as I expected. The vast gap in realm is difficult to bridge. However, my killing move is not the Bright Moon Style, humph humph, this General Hongye, I see that his limit is only this, only barely able to block my Bright Moon Style. He wants to engage in a battle of attrition with me; I'm not that foolish."

The tide of the battle became clearer to Tangyu, and he knew how to deal with General Hongye.

However, Tangyu still pretended to be weak to the enemy, putting on a stern expression: "Humph, humph, General Hongye, I might have been a bit overconfident. I didn't expect my swordsmanship couldn't deal with you. It's not easy to kill me with a battle of attrition; I won't surrender easily."

General Hongye said, "Not surrendering? Then what? I will fight until you surrender; I want to see how long you can hold on."

Feigning a bitter and pained expression, Tangyu gritted his teeth as if forcefully enduring, continually unleashing the Bright Moon Style in a desperate attempt to break through. This posture successfully confused General Hongye. He truly believed Tangyu was about to collapse, and victory was about to be his, bringing significant merit, elevating his mood greatly.

"Die, die, don't make meaningless struggles; it's futile. If your realm were one or two grades higher, I might not be able to deal with you. Unfortunately, it's impossible; you have no opportunity left." General Hongye coldly sneered.
