As soon as he finished speaking, the other party coldly replied, "Hmph. Not that busy after all."

"..."

Xu Shu was momentarily stunned, wondering how this woman could be so hot and cold; just a moment ago, she was acting like a shy bride in front of me, and now her voice turned icy enough to kill?

Uh... wait, how did your tone change too?

This thought barely crossed his mind when, in the next second, a sharp aura suddenly appeared from afar and swiftly approached.

In an instant, the atmosphere became intensely powerful, as if a tangible murderous intent enveloped the entire station.

This made the air thick like honey, and every breath carried the rusty scent of blood!

"Hiss—" Xu Shu’s heart was suddenly startled; he was all too familiar with this aura.

It was Hong Jun!

Previously, during his travels, he had exerted all his strength three times and was still chased to a dead end by that blood-red coat; the memory forcefully replayed in his mind.

This was her infuriating and inexplicable aura of death!

"Sis?" Hong Yan was also startled and was about to speak when the entire station suddenly darkened.

Outside the station, the sky seemed to be shrouded by blood-red clouds, swiftly drifting down to this place, with countless crimson petals fluttering down.

Thud! Thud!

This intense and unrestrained murderous intent completely fell to the ground, causing the surrounding onlookers, who were timidly watching the spectacle, to immediately collapse one after another and faint.

Meanwhile, the people of the Hong Family, who had lined up in the distance, kneeled in unison on one knee, regardless of age, including the third-tier elders, with their foreheads pressed tightly against the back of their hands, displaying extreme submission and loyalty.

A crimson robe, like blazing flames, floated in the air, with countless Sword Qi trails drawing ribbons, long hair flowing automatically, revealing a porcelain-pale face.

The woman’s dark hair was entangled with gold silk jewelry, a vertical blood-red mark in the center of her brow gleaming like drops of blood. Her alluring yet fiercely heroic phoenix eyes locked onto Xu Shu, stepping with a special rhythm into the station.

Her walk was soul-stirring, causing one to shiver in fear!

Fourth on the list, "Slaughtering All," Hong Jun!

Sensing the woman charging straight at him, Xu Shu narrowed his eyes, feeling a heavy weight in his heart.

When did she arrive?

Why is the murderous intent so intense?

Has she seen through my crude trick at a glance and come to trouble me?

Damn, this is bad... This wasn’t part of my plan... my situation is really precarious now!

Xu Shu stared expressionlessly at Hong Jun.

After all, as old rivals who had clashed three times, Xu Shu knew that facing an enemy of this caliber, he absolutely couldn’t afford to be even slightly careless; a minor mistake today could be his death.

And Hong Jun continued advancing with a terrifying sense of oppressive momentum.

"Little Yan."

Hong Jun’s voice was like the gentle ringing of jade, yet it made Xu Shu’s temple throb.

"Is this your so-called savior?" she said.

Hong Yan’s face changed completely, unable to understand why her sister had such a man-eating expression after appearing, hurriedly saying, "Yes, he saved me! Sis, don’t misunderstand, actually..."

Before she finished speaking, Hong Jun waved her hand, stopping everything.

She halted three steps away from Xu Shu, trying to look down at him but ultimately had to look up due to height, her crimson nails tapping her lips lightly, "Judgement Department’s black-feathered crow, didn’t your leader teach you to stay away from Hong Family?"

"..."

Well, I’d like to stay away, but you’re the one who insists on coming over to fight me, stupid woman!

Xu Shu restrained the impulse to curse internally and did not respond.

His expression remained unchanged, but his fingers in his pocket subconsciously reached for the Tai Chu volume, for the "Extermination of Immortals 24" that could destroy heaven and earth once drawn!

If it doesn’t work out, I’ll surprise her by blasting her, then fall to the ground doing sit-ups + sever my own veins, see if I can withstand a blow!

But it’s really difficult; the attack from "Extermination of Immortals 24" coupled with the lightning from Star Tower in Penglai District, both with "forbidden" level destructive power, can break the [sit-up] instant lock of blood phenomenon. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Hey! If I had known, I wouldn’t have been so cocky; damn it, trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead, how can I survive now?

"..." Xu Shu resisted the urge to "pull out a nuke" and fired one, staring intensely at Hong Jun, saying nothing.

"..." Hong Jun’s eyes similarly locked on Xu Shu, filled with dazzling brilliance.

You look at me, I look at you, others look at the ground.

Time seemed to have reverted to the time where Xu Shu tricked her into misidentifying Hong Yan by the underground dark river; this moment was just like that moment.

Drip... Drop!

Time ticked away, and their staring contest lasted a full half-minute, which felt like an entire century.

Under unbearable pressure, the world around fell into unimaginable silence.

Hong Family members held their breath, cold sweat continuously dripping from their foreheads.

The pressure was tremendous!

Let’s not even talk about the Family Head; that young man also emanated an aura akin to an ancient beast. The tension between these two was horrifying enough to make one’s legs weak.

It’s life-threatening!

Who on earth is this man?

Hong Family members roared in angry anguish in their hearts, extremely furious for half a minute!

But all of them, as long as they hadn’t fainted, didn’t dare to breathe even slightly.

Any little disturbance made them fearful, afraid this slight noise would ruin the delicate balance and explode into a terrifying battle, dragging them in, dying miserably on the spot!
