Those who had rushed in with Green and Poison Wolf were now retreating one by one upon witnessing the scene, as if they had seen a ghost. They dared not approach Lu Tianxing any closer, as if he were not a man, but a beast that devours humans.

"Damn it, how can this be? How can his power be this strong, this terrifying?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Royce, who had been leisurely watching the show from the sidelines, could no longer maintain his smile, and his face turned ashen. He initially believed that no matter how strong Lu Tianxing was, he couldn’t possibly handle Poison Wolf and Green in a short time, which is why he stayed on the sidelines to look for a chance to strike.

However, Royce never expected Lu Tianxing to be terrifying to this extent, killing Green and Poison Wolf in the blink of an eye. The feeling was akin to not killing humans but stomping two ants, so effortlessly and casually.

It must be reminded that Poison Wolf and Green were members of the first team of the American Superman Team, the strongest among them. Even Royce couldn’t handle these two easily, let alone kill them effortlessly as Lu Tianxing did.

Taking a deep breath, Royce looked at Lu Tianxing with an undisguised tone of grim killing intent: "Well, Judge, I underestimated you. I never thought your power could be this frightening, but it will only go as far as this. Today, I will make sure you die."

"Kill me? Royce, do you think you have what it takes?" Lu Tianxing sneered.

"Judge, you’ve successfully angered me, and I will make you vanish into ashes."

After hearing the dismissal in Lu Tianxing’s tone, Royce’s face turned completely grim. He took a step forward, and flames erupted from his body, transforming into massive fireballs suspended around him.

The instant these fireballs appeared, it seemed as though the very air was ignited, surrounded by waves of scorching heat. Even those at the Middle-stage Mythical level felt the blaze, as if they were about to be roasted into charred corpses, with the surrounding space seemingly melting and twisting.

"Die!"

With a thought, Royce sent the fireballs crashing toward Lu Tianxing like streaming meteors.

Lu Tianxing stood motionless, channeling True Qi throughout his body, unleashing the Unbeatable Emperor Fist, punching out one strike after another. Instantly, flames shot skyward, and the fireballs were shattered into pieces, becoming sparks that rained everywhere, igniting the villa and engulfing it in flames in a short time.

Lu Tianxing remained motionless, and the surrounding fire hadn’t touched him; it was as if an invisible barrier stopped the flames from getting any closer.

Meanwhile, Royce stood there, untouched by the surrounding flames. This wasn’t surprising given that Royce was a Flame Messenger, a fire superpower user, whose abilities were extreme and not at all afraid of being burned by fire.

"Fire Dragon!"

Without saying any superfluous words, Royce’s flames surged up like they had a life, intertwining and forming into a Western Giant Dragon in a short moment, roaring toward Lu Tianxing. With a mouth open, fireballs appeared like rapid shots, and this Western Giant Dragon’s body was ablaze, with its wings fanning, causing flames to rain down, encasing Lu Tianxing.

Those assisting Hades to escape from the villa and evade flames felt as though the entire villa transformed into a giant volcano, with the ground appearing as molten lava, the red glow lighting up the sky.

Yet, those outside the villa barely felt any heat waves, demonstrating Royce’s terrifying control over his powers, not wasting a single ounce of energy.

This was an extreme level of self-control over one’s powers, where one’s exertions generally affect all directions, seemingly grand and mighty, but not genuinely frightening because the inability to concentrate power on a single point leads to dispersal and fails to deliver the strongest attack.

Now Royce’s control over his abilities had reached a subtle level.

However, encased in flames, Lu Tianxing remained unmoving, akin to untouched by fire, with his aura undiminished, suddenly surging, and from behind, the six paths of True Qi reformed, once again unleashing the Unbeatable Emperor Fist, piercing through the void.

RUMBLE!

The Unbeatable Emperor Fist, carrying violent True Qi, ripped through the flames, pounding heavily on the Western Giant Dragon’s head, shattering the dragon, dissipating into thin air.

"Ugh!"

Feeling the dragon shattering, Royce, experiencing simultaneous pain, involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale instantly.

"Fools, do you really think you can kill me? You’re pathetic. Your time to die has come." Lu Tianxing stood there disdainfully, his eyes showing utter contempt.

"You... Judge, do you truly think you’ve defeated me? I’m telling you, you haven’t won. Die." Royce, seeing Lu Tianxing’s disdainful look, felt his anger blaze uncontrollably.

BAM!

With a roar, Royce suddenly soared upward, fingers spread out, gathering fires overhead like the sun appearing out of nowhere, the fire now blazing gold instead of orange.

"Sun Destruction."

He punched, and the sun descended.

Lu Tianxing immediately felt as if he stood in the sun’s center, surrounded by surging flames and heat waves. At that moment, he felt as though his entire True Qi and blood were ignited, ready to turn him into a fireball.

Lu Tianxing finally understood how Royce could burn a Middle-stage Mythical superpower user to death with Early-stage Mythical power before. These flames targeted not the physical body but the blood, essential for life’s existence. If the blood ignites and burns from inside, it truly becomes irreversible.

Lu Tianxing even considered himself fortunate that his True Qi quality far surpassed the norm, exceeding even some Late Stage of Mythical individuals. Otherwise, he might indeed be scorched to ashes by Royce’s move, dead beyond return.
