Red Moon Town, auction square.

As Lin Qi appeared in front of the Demon in an instant, all the major factions that had been waiting for an opportunity reacted quickly and were shocked by the scene.

"What does Hall Master Lin intend to do? Does he want to challenge the Demon?"

"That can't be right, the Demon is one of the Smiling Skull's Seven Great Guardians; several high-tier Blood Coagulation Realm martial artists of the Four Domains have perished by his hands. Even though Hall Master Lin is a super-talented warrior capable of contending with middle-tier Blood Coagulation Realm martial artists, not even the super-talents from the Domain City dare to act arrogantly before the Demon. Is he driven to madness by the current situation?"

Hu Lei and Zhuo Gu, who had been holding back, were somewhat astonished to see Lin Qi confronting the Demon.

The situation for the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was indeed not optimistic. Despite Earth Star Pharmaceutical's primary force consisting of only thirteen members, and others in the Bone Forging Realm martial artists could only shoot arrows from the ground, the thirteen Blood Coagulation Realm martial artists invited by Earth Star Pharmaceutical were extraordinary, especially the Bloodstained War General Meilia and an elderly member of the Half-Beast Race.

In just over ten seconds, the Bloodstained War General Meilia alone took down dozens of gray-clothed disciples from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall with her spear. Meanwhile, the elderly Half-Beast Race martial artist wielded a giant axe, killing with each step without using any martial skills; he swung his axe like a gale, leaving no chance for anyone to react. None of the gray-clothed disciples could block his axe.

Even when facing the Spiral Demon Spear Volley from over twenty super-talented warriors, the duo could handle it calmly, whereas other Blood Coagulation Realm experts easily crushed the high-tier gray-clothed disciples.

However, there were exceptional individuals among the gray-clothed disciples in the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall; a long-haired woman wielding over three hundred longswords with another woman wielding dual swords, her sword strikes were as swift as lightning, sometimes releasing sword qi that spanned a thousand meters, forcefully held back the Bloodstained War General Meilia, preventing her from using martial skills, leaving her to rely on her strength alone.

On the other side, the elderly Half-Beast Race martial artist was also held up by several incredibly skilled gray-clothed disciples. Whether they occasionally launched beams capable of obliterating the Sky Giant Ship or faced a man standing over eight meters tall with a long spear and strength comparable to the elderly Half-Beast, paired with a woman using a bizarre body technique, the elderly Half-Beast Race martial artist couldn't break through.

As for the other Blood Coagulation Realm experts of the Forbidden Zone Twelve Oddities, they were also restrained by gray-clothed disciples in the Bone Forging Realm or by disciples who conjured massive illusions, creating an intense back-and-forth battle that twisted the atmosphere and turned the affected ground into ruins.

Although the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was slightly at a disadvantage overall, the battle's outcome wasn't something that could be determined overnight. The strength displayed by the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall surprised everyone, nothing like a typical large faction, especially with their unutilized Bone Forging Realm experts and the Blood Coagulation Realm warrior Yino, placing them among the top in the Mist Mountain Region.

This was also why none of the major factions present hurriedly acted.

Lin Qi quickly confronting the Demon indeed surprised everyone.

Suppressing the Demon would significantly calm the restless hearts of the major factions, preventing them from acting recklessly. However, the Demon, being one of the Smiling Skull's Seven Great Guardians famed for many years, wasn't someone easy to deal with.

It's said that even if the twenty-plus super-talents among the gray-clothed disciples joined forces, they would struggle to contend with the Demon. High-tier Blood Coagulation Realm martial artists have a base strength of at least 135 tons, while experts like the Demon, who have achieved Realm of Perfection with Sequence Extraordinary Level Martial Skills, likely have an actual strength exceeding 200 tons.

A Bone Forging Realm martial artist confronting the Demon is akin to a moth to a flame.

But as the life energy around Lin Qi surged, Hu Lei, Zhuo Gu, and even Tie Mu, who was watching from afar, were all stirred by the change.

This life energy didn't just rise into the clouds; everyone present could feel a tremor from the level of life, as if suddenly being watched by a fierce beast from a close distance, instinctively wanting to retreat.

"With this life energy and oppressive aura, no wonder he dares to come over." The Demon glanced at Lin Qi, whose hair and clothes moved despite no wind, the oppressive aura even making the ground seemingly tremble, chuckling, "It seems the rumor that you can match middle-tier Blood Coagulation Realm experts isn't exaggerated, but facing me, you're still lacking."

After saying this, the Demon struck Lin Qi with a seemingly simple punch, employing no martial skills or weapons, just a straightforward blow.

Bam!

The punch was so swift that even the middle-tier Blood Coagulation Realm Lizardman class monitor nearby couldn't react, as the Demon's fist reached Lin Qi, piercing through the air without even disturbing it.

The ground cracked, and a steel high-rise a hundred meters away was blasted with a hole radius of over three to four meters.

This spectacle caused Hu Lei's concerned gaze to turn even more serious.

"Such a simple punch can concentrate its power to this degree?" Hu Lei looked at the punched-through steel high-rise, gasping in shock.

As someone who is just a step away from the high-tier Blood Coagulation Realm, he believed that a punch from him, with intense fist wind, could easily reach several hundred meters away.

But to pierce through a steel high-rise a hundred meters away with mere fist wind, even if he reaches the extreme high-tier Blood Coagulation Realm, it's not doable without using martial skills.
