My cultivation method shines upon all heavens.

"You...you're not dead! You bastard..."

Zhang Yuquan, who had secretly squeezed to the front, was initially startled when he saw Lu Ming, but then his courage surged when he saw that Lu Ming was covered in wounds.

"Get out of my way!"

Seeing the strange and unsettling atmosphere inside the temple, anger rose in his heart, and evil thoughts took hold.

A thunderous gust of wind suddenly burst forth from the tip of his right finger, and a Thunderclap Finger strike aimed directly at Lu Ming's heart.

Thunder roared, and the finger strikes were sharp as cones, carrying a whistling wind that aimed straight for vital points.

Lu Ming didn't even raise his head; his right foot kicked out like lightning.

"Snap—!"

With a crisp cracking sound, Zhang Yuquan's figure was thrown into the air, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth.

He crashed heavily into the crowd like a puppet with its strings cut, eliciting gasps and screams.

"You, you, you, you..."

Wang Chengbao had intended to use the chaos of the crowd to sneak up and launch a surprise attack, but now his finger trembled as he pointed at Lu Ming, his eyes filled with terror:

"You've been putting on an act all this time..."

At this point, how could he not see that Lu Ming was full of vigor and strength, showing no signs of serious injury or weakness?

Lu Ming smiled slightly, a gentle smile that sent a chill down Wang Chengbao's spine:

"You got it right...there's a reward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his footsteps were heavy, as fast as a torrential downpour.

"Aaaaaah—!"

Heart-wrenching screams rang out one after another.

Wang Chengbao's body soared into the air, and a dense "crackling" sound, like beans exploding, rang out all around him.

At the same time, all the Yin Tiger Guards who wanted to rush out of the door were thrown into the air and crashed into the depths of the crowd with miserable screams.

"You scum...you actually colluded with demons!"

Seeing that the temple gate was completely sealed off by Lu Ming, Shi Lei gritted his teeth and his eyes turned bloodshot.

He casually tossed aside the soldier blocking his way and strode toward Lu Ming.

"Boom—!"

Just then, the temple trembled violently once again.

The arrogant voice boomed like thunder: "Hahaha... Kid, well done!"

Within the golden pillar of light, thousands of vertical pupils simultaneously appeared, densely arranged on the surface of the pillar, each one rotating and flashing.

Countless golden rays shot out from his pupils, raining down on the crowd like a downpour.

"Aaaaaah—!"

The Yin Tiger Guards, bathed in golden light, let out heart-wrenching screams as their flesh and bones rapidly melted away under its rays.

Even though Zhang Yuquan, Wang Chengbao, and the others had entered the Skin Tempering Realm, they could only maintain it for a few breaths.

Then, in despair, he watched his body dissolve inch by inch, turning into wisps of smoke that dissipated into the air.

"Ah... Lu Ming! You bastard... it's all your fault..."

On their deathbeds, they still stared intently at Lu Ming at the door, wishing they could devour his flesh and sleep on his skin.

In their view, if Lu Ming had obediently become a lowly ant and died obediently, they would not have ended up like this today.

However, all they received in response was a cold, indifferent gaze, as if looking at ants.

"Hahaha...you bedbugs! You fucking tell me again, who's the bedbug? Who the fuck is the bedbug!"

A wild laugh rolled out from the golden light, exploding loudly between heaven and earth.

Clearly, he had memorized every word these people said outside the temple.

"Boom—!"

The crimson beam of light jolted as if it had been provoked.

Outside, the three hundred Yin Tiger Guards who formed the Demon-Locking Formation felt their bodies sink, and their expressions changed drastically.

Their blood surged like a tidal wave, and the cinnabar talisman on the ground involuntarily drew it out, transforming it into streaks of crimson blood that rushed towards the sky.

Their faces turned pale at a visible speed, and their bodies rapidly became emaciated.

Outside the dilapidated temple, a bright red light shone.

The crimson runes on the temple walls spread and flowed wildly as if they had received a powerful tonic.

The blood-red rune culture tightened its chains suddenly, attempting to completely suppress the golden pillar of light.

"You old bastard...you can't hold me back! You can't hold me back!"

Within the golden pillar of light, a deafening tiger roar resounded through the heavens.

Inside the temple, countless dissolving essences and blood energy continuously converged towards the golden pillar of light.

The golden light suddenly intensified, engaging in a protracted tug-of-war and fierce battle with the crimson light.

The golden and crimson lights collided and intertwined, and the entire temple swayed precariously in the struggle between the two forces.

At this moment, only three squad leaders at the Muscle Strengthening Realm and Shi Lei, a Marrow Refining Realm expert, remained in the temple.

Shi Lei stood motionless, his marrow surging like boiling water, his blood flowing like a river, constantly resisting the erosion of the golden light.

Even so, wisps of blue smoke were rising from his skin, and the edges of his robes began to char and curl.

"This can't go on... or I'll surely die!"

He watched the intense tug-of-war between the golden and crimson beams of light in the sky, and suddenly roared at the three captains:

"What are you waiting for! If you don't kill this little beast... we'll all die here!"

If they don't escape while the demons and the seal are locked in battle, they will have no other chance.

The other three squad leaders, their bodies covered in festering wounds, were struggling to withstand the scorching golden light.

Upon hearing this, the last trace of hesitation in my heart was crushed by fear.

Their faces hardened, and they lunged towards the temple gate.

"Young man, please have mercy! This has nothing to do with us, let us out!"

"Great! Brother Lu, as long as you let us out, everything is negotiable!"

"I'll give you anything you want, just please spare my life!"

The three pleaded incessantly, their voices filled with sorrow, yet their attacks were utterly merciless.

Palm shadows filled the sky, fists were as powerful as mountains, and kicks were as sharp as whips, all engulfing Lu Ming in a devastating onslaught.

Each strike was delivered with full force, clearly intended to kill him.

Lu Ming remained calm, his eyes slightly lowered, not even glancing at them directly.

His feet moved like dragons reaching out their claws, taking three steps amidst the shifting illusions and realities, like butterflies flitting among flowers.

Each step landed precisely between the three attackers' gaps in their attacks, followed by a devastating strike.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three booming sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

The three captains were astonished. They all rose into the air and landed right in the golden pillar of light.

"Aaaaaah!"

The golden beam of light suddenly blazed, and the three people's agonizing screams were quickly swallowed up by the golden light, gradually fading into silence.

However, before Lu Ming could relax, a gust of evil wind attacked him.

"You little beast...get the hell out of my way!"

Shi Lei had silently approached without anyone noticing, his face as ferocious as a ghost.

Its right claw was wrapped in the powerful blood energy of a fully refined marrow cultivator, and it used a tiger claw attack to grab Lu Ming's heart.

Wherever the claw-like wind passed, the air erupted with a sharp hiss.

"The Green Ox protects the heart!"

Lu Ming was prepared. He crossed his arms across his chest, and his blood and energy surged into his arms.

"boom--!"

A violent collision exploded between the two, sending shockwaves churning through the air.

A powerful force surged through his arms and into his internal organs, causing Lu Ming to cough up blood and the floor tiles beneath his feet to sink half an inch.

But he still didn't back down an inch, looking up at Shi Lei who was so close, a cold smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"How is that possible!"

Shi Lei's face turned pale with shock, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

After bone forging, each realm is a new level, and both the difficulty of cultivation and the difference in strength are incomparable to before.

But this young man in the Bone Forging Realm actually withstood his full-force attack!

"impossible!"

His face was contorted like a ghost, his bones trembled and hummed, and his marrow gushed and churned like boiling water in the face of life and death.

His feet swept across Lu Ming's lower body like steel whips, and his claws reached out like tigers tearing at his throat. Every strike was imbued with his full strength, and he poured his fury upon Lu Ming.

"Boom boom boom—!"

The two figures collided repeatedly, and shockwaves exploded at the point where their fists and claws met.

Lu Ming stood like a wall of sighs, constantly blocking Shi Lei's storm-like attacks.

He never retreated a single step, firmly blocking the only exit behind him.

However, even with his profound knowledge of multiple superior martial arts, he was struggling to withstand the attacks of a Marrow Refining Realm expert.

Fresh blood kept oozing from the corner of his mouth, and excruciating pain spread to his limbs, bones, and internal organs.

Finally, his face turned cold, and he suddenly shouted:

"Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva... I can't hold him off any longer! If you don't act now, once he escapes, news of your escape will spread throughout the Great Zhao!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Lei felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva?

Is he one of the four Bodhisattvas that Zhang Jiao personally sealed away?

The immense mental shock caused his body to stiffen briefly, halting his attack.

"Soaring Claws!"

Lu Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, and his right hand reached out like a dragon's claw.

The five fingers, curved like hooks, pierced through the air and struck Shi Lei's defenses, landing heavily in the center of his chest.

Shi Lei was sent flying into the air by the immense force, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Hahaha... Well done! You're definitely someone I've chosen!"

The arrogant laughter resumed, and the golden light, which had seemed to be locked in a stalemate with the red light, suddenly surged, engulfing Shi Lei in mid-air.

"Aaaaaah—!"

Shi Lei's face was twisted like a ghost, and his skin rapidly rotted and vaporized under the golden light, emitting a heart-wrenching and agonizing wail.

His former arrogance has vanished, leaving only the pure instinct for survival.

He struggled frantically, desperately reaching out his hand towards the temple gate:

"Lu Ming...no! Brother Lu! Save me! Save me! I'll be your dog...I! Just spare my life, I'll agree to anything!"

His words were earnest, his shouts were stern, and tears streamed down his face. His previous arrogance and domineering attitude had vanished completely at this moment.

Her flexibility and quick change of expression amazed even Lu Ming.

No wonder he's a prodigy who managed to get on the good side of the Lin family.

Being able to be both soft and hard, flexible and adaptable, this skill has been honed to its extreme.

He sighed inwardly, panting as he leaned against the temple door, calmly watching the other person's contorted and struggling figure, and said indifferently:

"Sorry, I don't collect trash."
