Chapter 775: Red Rope Destroys the Immortal Emperor

Within the red moon illusory realm, Lou Yujing's Golden Immortal avatar invoked imperial might, growing as strong as in his ancestral zombie form. He caught up to Xiao Nanfeng in the blink of an eye.

"Xiao Nanfeng, no one can save you this time!" Lou Yujing roared.

Xiao Nanfeng unfurled the Dazheng Code of Laws.

"As if an ordinary empire's code of laws would be able to trap me!" Lou Yujing shouted. "Watch me tear it apart."

"Dazheng Code of Laws, seal!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted.

The Dazheng Code of Laws glowed with resplendent light as Lou Yujing was sucked into its interior and sealed there.

"What? Impossible. What sort of code of laws is this? How can it be able to suppress me? Could it be a Boundless Immortal relic?!" Lou Yujing exclaimed.

Lou Yujing struggled furiously, causing the scroll to shake violently as Xiao Nanfeng's fortune rapidly depleted.

"How can this be?!" Lou Yujing thundered.

Xiao Nanfeng didn't waste time responding to his shouts. He frowned as he considered his options. Yang Chuan, the Divine Emperor, Ye Sanshui, and the Demon Child would surely have won an overwhelming victory. Tu Feng might succeed as well. He'd have reinforcements soon enough, but that would require time.

For the moment, all he could do was seal Lou Yujing with his code of laws, but he knew that this wasn't a viable plan in the long term. Doing so drained too much of his fortune, and Lou Yujing would be able to escape once it was all depleted.

"Should I see just how Tu Feng's doing now?" Xiao Nanfeng thought to himself.

Suddenly, he saw a large group of red-furred monsters leaping toward him.

Xiao Nanfeng frowned. "How could there be so many of these red-furred lifeforms in the vicinity?"

He ran the moment he saw the hundreds of monsters headed his way. He didn't dare to release his subordinates from his gourd because he was currently within the red moon illusory realm.

It was an unusual place. Despite being an illusory realm, parts of it interfaced with reality, like the reverse side of the Heaven Division's Gate. However, the majority was ethereal in nature, and only souls could survive there. Somehow, Lou Yujing was strong enough that he could chase after Xiao Nanfeng even in his physical body.

The red moon illusory realm was full of mystery and danger. He didn't want to let his subordinates take any risks; in that case, he would have to continue dodging the red-furred monsters as he maintained the seal on Lou Yujing.

The longer he ran, the more abnormal the situation began to seem. More and more red-furred monsters were flooding toward him from every direction—ordinary ones at first, but stronger ones later.

"Is this a city of red-furred lifeforms?" Xiao Nanfeng exclaimed.

He flew past a mountain before suddenly widening his eyes. "Another city?"

There was a huge red city in the distance, into which countless red-furred monsters were entering and from which they were leaving. They roamed about aimlessly like specters, as if they were living within the city out of mere habit from their past lives.

"Xiao Nanfeng, you won't be able to trap me for long. Once I emerge, I'll kill you!" Lou Yujing thundered from within his code of laws.

Xiao Nanfeng's eyes twitched. He would have to find a way to deal with Lou Yujing.

He looked toward the giant city. "Perhaps..."

Without any hesitation, he rushed straight toward it.

When the red-furred monsters discovered someone heading their way, they all began to mobilize. They would respond to any enemy incursion with force.

The red-furred monsters roared as they shot toward Xiao Nanfeng—not just those outside the city, but also those inside.

Upon seeing the thousands, even tens of thousands, of red-furred monsters, even Xiao Nanfeng was taken aback. The monsters in the city seemed exceptionally strong, too.

Xiao Nanfeng punched at the closest monsters, sending them back, but more rushed in to take their spots.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Nanfeng caused death chants to emanate around him.

Those red-furred monsters who heard the death chants suddenly slowed down, but the strongest among them were still able to make their way toward Xiao Nanfeng despite the deterrent.

He was sent flying by some of the red-furred monsters, but continued to make his way into the city regardless.

To his surprise, he counted three frightening auras heading toward him from within the city.

"Three Boundless Immortal red-furred monsters?" Xiao Nanfeng exclaimed.

Without any hesitation, he tossed Lou Yujing out of his Dazheng Code of Laws.

"Xiao Nanfeng, you've exhausted your reserves of fortune, haven't you? You're done for now!" Lou Yujing shot toward Xiao Nanfeng.

The next moment, he whirled around. Something seemed amiss. He looked to see the sky full of red-furred monsters charging toward him, three Boundless Immortals among them.

"What?!" Lou Yujing exclaimed.

He sent the monsters flying with a fist.

"Xiao Nanfeng, you're trying to use those red-furred monsters against me, aren't you? Dream on! You're the one who's going to die," Lou Yujing roared.

He turned and shot toward Xiao Nanfeng, only to discover that Xiao Nanfeng had vanished.

Lou Yujing: ...

No, Xiao Nanfeng hadn't vanished. His Divine Seal of Dazheng had appeared in his place. And Xiao Nanfeng was making his way inside.

"Xiao Nanfeng, you're intending to hide within your divine seal? You're just going to die!" Lou Yujing exclaimed.

He knew that there was an internal space within the Divine Seal of Dazheng, but he didn't understand why Xiao Nanfeng was hiding in it. He was going to be a punching bag for all the red-furred monsters!

He sent all the red-furred monsters heading his way flying with his fists. Then, he took on the three Boundless Immortal red-furred monsters in turn and cleared them out as well. Once his surroundings were devoid of red-furred monsters, he seized the Divine Seal of Dazheng and chopped at it with the side of his hand.

A flash of golden light from the seal repelled Lou Yujing's attack.

"Impossible!" Lou Yujing exclaimed.

He could tell that the Divine Seal of Dazheng was bolstered by Xiao Nanfeng's fortune, but how could it be so resilient?

"Is something wrong with this seal? It can't be—it's also a Boundless Immortal relic?!" Lou Yujing exclaimed.

He struck at it several times to no avail.

Meanwhile, even more red-furred monsters had surrounded him. The whole city seemed to be out to get him. The red-furred monsters shot toward him without care for their own lives, frustrating and flustering him.

"Get out here, Xiao Nanfeng!" Lou Yujing thundered.

Of course, Xiao Nanfeng had no intention of doing so.

And if Xiao Nanfeng didn't open a portal out of the red moon illusory realm, Lou Yujing would be trapped within as well. He could only break out of the realm by taking advantage of portals that had been recently opened and closed.

Lou Yujing attacked the red-furred creatures in the vicinity as he fled into the distance.

No ordinary red-furred monsters could catch up to him—but the three Boundless Immortal ones could. They followed him in rapid pursuit.

"Damn it, Xiao Nanfeng, you bastard!" Lou Yujing thundered.

Much of the strength that he possessed in this body came from the people, and that strength was rapidly fading away. The situation was hardly in his favor.

He had no choice but to take on the three red-furred monsters.

Shockingly, he was able to hold out against all three of them, at least for the moment—but that was precisely why he felt a sense of despair. Sooner or later, his borrowed strength would run out, and he would falter.

"Die!" Lou Yujing roared.

As the other two red-furred monsters wounded him, he focused all his energy on attacking the third and caused its head to explode.

Though he did manage to kill one of the monsters, his arm had been broken, and he was badly wounded from the other two monsters' attacks. He vomited out blood as the two remaining monsters continued to charge toward him, seemingly immune to fear.

"Die!" Lou Yujing howled.

With all his remaining strength, he took on another of the red-furred monsters and burst its head. Meanwhile, the final monster broke both his legs and tore one of them off.

Lou Yujing had no chance against the final red-furred monster.

With much of his strength having drained away, he sighed in despair. The final red-furred monster grabbed his avatar and began to tear it apart.

"Xiao Nanfeng, just you wait. I'll make you die a horrible death. Explode!"

Lou Yujing detonated his body in an intense burst of fire and wind as he sent the final red-furred monster flying.

A pillar of red light manifested at the heart of the explosion. Lou Yujing's soul fragment was attempting to escape.

Just as his soul fragment was about to be transported away, a length of red rope suddenly tightened around his neck and pulled him back.

Xiao Nanfeng had emerged from the Divine Seal of Dazheng and had tossed out a length of red rope.

"Die, Xiao Nanfeng!" Lou Yujing roared.

He manipulated the pillar of red light as he tried to flee, but the red rope was tugging him away from it.

"To think the red-furred lifeforms in the city would be able to wound you to this extent... That'll save me a lot of work," Xiao Nanfeng said.

By then, the red-furred monsters that had been sent flying were starting to make their way back.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Nanfeng opened up a portal out of the red moon illusory realm and emerged with Lou Yujing. Then, he quickly shut the portal to bar the red-furred monsters' way.

He returned to Hongyue's palace, continuing to tug on Lou Yujing's soul fragment with the red rope.

"Vitality, I invoke you!" Lou Yujing shouted.

A pillar of red light appeared beside Lou Yujing once again.

"It's too late!" Xiao Nanfeng said.

With a wave of his hand, a huge quantity of rope looped around Lou Yujing and began to pull from all directions.

Lou Yujing's soul fragment was torn apart by the combined force and dissipated in the air.

The officials who were rushing to defend their emperor shrieked, "No!"

Countless zombies in the vicinity were left stumbling as well.
