　　After hearing this, the red-haired demonic cultivator who was desperately resisting the blood qi power on Rhino Horn’s body also had the corner of his mouth raise and said：
“Impossible. We of the Nine Abysses have contemplated the true meaning of the Great Dao of the Mysterious Wilderness the Great Emperor for tens of thousands of years and still haven’t been able to perform the blood qi power of the Martial Venerable Realm on the first three floors of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower. It’s even more impossible for their human race cultivators to do so.”
　　Upon hearing this, Rhino Horn smiled, then retracted the blood qi power on his body, continued to look up at the fire tree in the courtyard, and then muttered to himself：
　　“It is said that whether one can eat the Vermilion Bird Fruit on the first floor of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower is the key to ultimately reaching the top of the tower. I, Rhino Horn, have waited patiently for a hundred years and finally waited for it.”
　　“If I can reach the top this time, within ten years, I will definitely break through to the Demon Emperor Realm.”
　　The red-haired demonic cultivator on the side, upon hearing this, immediately cupped his hands and flattered：
　　“Congratulations to Lord Rhino Horn for getting what he wants！”
　　Upon hearing this, Rhino Horn laughed heartily and then waved his hand and said：
　　“Go down. There should be no surprises. Those human cultivators will take action in the next few days. Keep an eye on them these two days.”
　　“Your　subordinate　obeys！”
　　The red-haired demonic cultivator immediately received the order.
　　“Boom！”
　　Just as the red-haired demonic cultivator was about to leave, at the courtyard gate, there was suddenly a burst of air explosion.
　　Immediately, Rhino Horn and the red-haired demonic cultivator simultaneously heard the voice transmission from the demonic cultivators outside the courtyard——
　　“Lord Silver Mouse, Lord Rhino Horn, three human cultivators at the Martial Dao Grandmaster realm are forcefully barging into Vermilion Bird Valley！”
　　Upon hearing this, Rhino Horn folded his arms and a smile that everything was under his control appeared on his face and said：
“After spending so much effort, they have only nurtured three Martial Dao Grandmasters. It seems that this I still overestimate them.
　　The red-haired demonic cultivator beside him also had a smile on his face.
　　Immediately, he saw him cupping his hands towards Rhino Horn and saying：
　　“Lord Rhino Horn, these three Martial Dao Grandmasters can be handed over to us several Demon Venerables.”
　　Lord Rhino Horn Demon nodded：
　　“Go.”
　　Like most demonic cultivators with arrogant natures, this Rhino Horn simply didn’t take the three Martial Dao Grandmasters seriously.
　　Soon, the sound of deafening fighting began to come from outside the courtyard, and the battle situation sounded very intense.
　　However, the Rhino Horn Demon Lord didn’t even raise his eyes. He still drank while enjoying the spiritual tree in front of him.
　　First, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open with a “creak”.
　　”Oh, it seems that not all the human cultivators who came this time are useless.”
　　After the surprised look in Rhino Horn’s eyes flashed away, his expression immediately calmed down, and he turned his head with a smile and looked towards the courtyard gate.
　　I saw a young man in coarse cloth shorts, holding a pitch-black long knife in his hand, quietly standing at the courtyard gate.
　　The young man was naturally Xu Taiping.
　　”Demon Lord Rhino Horn, I’ve long admired you.”
　　Xu Taiping smiled and cupped his hands at Rhino Horn.
　　”You came to snatch this Vermilion Bird Fruit？”
　　Rhino Horn stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and asked without raising his head.
　　”Before picking the Vermilion Bird Fruit, there is one more thing to do.”
　　Xu Taiping put down his hand.
　　”Oh？ What is it？”
　　Rhino Horn looked at Xu Taiping curiously.
　　Xu Taiping stared at Rhino Horn quietly for a long time, and then slowly spit out two words：
　　”Kill you.”
　　On the way here, he had already learned from Zhai Mo and the others that in today’s Xuanyuan Heaven, tens of millions of common people had been domesticated by demons and lived worse than pigs and dogs.
　　For a Demon Lord like Rhinoceros Horn, the number of human lives in his hands was at least tens of thousands.
　　It was no exaggeration to say that he was a human butcher.
　　So for this kind of demonic creature, he didn’t have any mercy.
　　“Kill me？”
　　The Rhinoceros Horn Demon Lord sneered and slowly stood up, looking at Xu Taiping with contempt in his eyes and said：
　　“Over the years, there have been no less than a thousand or eight hundred human cultivators who came to my mansion to assassinate me. Do you know what their fate was later？”
Xu Taiping didn’t answer, but just put his hand on the handle of the knife and quietly looked at the Rhinoceros Horn.
　　“They were all chopped into minced meat and made into meat pies and fed to their families.”
　　The Rhinoceros Horn looked at Xu Taiping with a cold smile.
　　“Although everything in this Xuanyuan Tower was transformed by the divine sense of the Xuanyuan Great Emperor, everything was as real as that in the outside world. So later I will scrape the meat off your body alive and feed it to those companions of yours outside piece by piece.”
　　As he spoke, he began to release the power of qi and blood, and at the same time picked up a huge black iron ax placed on the table.
　　“Boom！ ……”
　　The moment the voice fell, the thick qi and blood power of Rhino Horn suddenly spread out, stirring up gusts of violent wind, which slapped heavily on Xu Taiping’s body.
　　Xu Taiping could sense that even the qi and blood power released by Rhino Horn at this moment was already far stronger than that of an ordinary martial artist in the Martial Dao Grandmaster Realm.
　　“This shouldn’t be all your strength, right？”
　　Xu　Taiping　asked.
　　As he said this, the hand holding the knife handle increased its strength by a few points.
　　“That depends on whether you are worthy of me using all my strength.”
　　Rhino Horn also picked up that mysterious iron battle-ax at this time.
　　At this moment, with the battle-ax in his hand, just standing in that pavilion, he had a terrifying oppressive feeling, as if there was nothing in this world that he couldn’t split open with one ax chop.
　　“Then I’m going to give it a try.”
　　Xu Taiping smiled, exhaled a breath gently, and then suddenly drew his knife.
　　“Ceng！ ……”
　　Accompanied by a harsh knife chirping sound, Xu Taiping’s figure suddenly turned into seven afterimages, all carrying a knife shadow, and with a harsh breaking wind sound, they slashed towards Rhino Horn in the pavilion.
　　“Boom！”
　　Rhino Horn chopped out with one ax, and the two afterimages of Xu Taiping closest to him instantly shattered.
　　However, at this moment, the remaining three afterimages suddenly merged into one, and a knife carrying rolling saber energy slashed towards the rhinoceros horn in the pavilion.
　　Although this knife was very close, the rhinoceros horn still reacted and once again swung the ax with both hands to meet Xu Taiping’s knife and chopped out.
　　“Bang！”
　　Amid the deafening collision sound, the pavilion where the rhinoceros horn was standing Boom collapsed, and Xu Taiping was shaken back more than ten zhang away by this ax.
　　“Boom！”
　　Just as Xu Taiping had just stabilized his figure, the rhinoceros horn had already chopped over with another ax.
　　The momentum of this ax was like a huge palm, firmly pressing Xu Taiping down and making it impossible for him to break free.
　　To be able to exert such a terrifying momentum with the blood energy of a martial arts master, it was obvious that the Rhinoceros Horn Demon Lord was preparing to make a full effort.
　　“Boom！”
　　But just as the Rhinoceros Horn Demon Lord’s giant ax was chopped down, the blood energy around Xu Taiping suddenly skyrocketed, and the angry lion physique was suddenly revealed. A blood energy force faintly exceeding the ordinary martial arts master realm suddenly spread out from his body.
　　Immediately, he used the blood energy of the angry lion realm to chop at the giant ax of the rhinoceros horn with a knife.
　　“Bang！”
　　Under the blood energy of the Furious Lion Realm, the ax momentum of Rhino Horn was instantly broken, and his entire body staggered back several steps.
　　“Swish！”
　　After breaking Rhino Horn’s ax momentum, Xu Taiping immediately executed the “Soul Chase” in the second ultimate move of the Seven Kills Saber Technique. The saber light sliced out an arc and chased after Rhino Horn Demon Lord.
　　Seeing this saber strike that Xu Taiping chopped out with all his strength, the corner of Rhino Horn Demon Lord’s mouth raised slightly inadvertently and said：
“No wonder Wang You would lose his life at your hands. This saber strike is indeed difficult to resist for an ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm martial artist, but this I am no ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster.
　　While thinking this way, the blood energy around Rhino Horn Demon Lord actually rose again.
　　“Boom！”
　　Amid the deafening sound of air explosions, as the flames around Rhino Horn Demon Lord’s body soared, his body instantly rose to two zhang, and a berserk blood energy blasted out.
“This will first chop off your two arms!”
　　Accompanied by a loud shout, Rhino Horn Demon Lord chopped down another ax towards Xu Taiping.
　　Facing this ax chop that Rhino Horn Demon Lord made with the monstrous flame-like blood energy, Xu Taiping finally understood why this Rhino Horn Demon Lord was not afraid of any Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm warriors.
　　“The qi and blood strength of this physical body of the Rhino Horn Demon Lord has faintly exceeded my Wild Lion Physique. No wonder he is so confident.”
　　While Xu Taiping’s mind suddenly cleared, the corner of his mouth slightly raised and said：
　　“However, it can’t be compared with my Python Dragon Physique.”
　　As he was thinking like this, he began to tightly grip the long knife in his hand, and at the same time, he urged all the qi and blood in his body, and then slashed out with a knife towards the Rhino Horn Demon Lord.
　　“Boom！”
　　The moment the long knife was slashed out, his Wild Lion Physique also instantly transformed into a Python Dragon Physique, and the qi and blood strength in his body surged out like a torrent, completely suppressing the qi and blood strength of the Rhino Horn Demon Lord in an instant.
　　“You actually recovered the qi and blood strength of the Martial Venerable Realm？！”
　　The Rhino Horn Demon Lord had a look of astonishment on his face.
　　The moment he felt this qi and blood strength, he suddenly stopped the momentum of his axe and prepared to flee.
　　“Zhi！ ——”
　　But with the sudden explosion of a knife chirping sound like a cicada’s chirp, the Rhino Horn Demon Lord’s body was suddenly fixed in place and couldn’t move no matter what.
　　“Shua,　shua,　shua！”
Immediately after, only a burst of harsh air explosion sounds were heard and thin as cicada wings knife shadows slashed on the Rhino Horn Demon Lord’s body.
　　“Boom！”
　　In the midst of the huge vibration sound, the rhinoceros horn demon lord’s fire rhinoceros physique was instantly chopped into pieces by Xu Taiping’s Cicada Cry Slash.
　　In the situation of insufficient true essence, only the blood energy of the python and flood dragon physique can allow Xu Taiping to use a Cicada Cry.
　　“Hoo…”
　　After completely unable to sense the breath of the rhinoceros horn demon lord, Xu Taiping let out a long breath.
　　His python and flood dragon physique couldn’t be maintained for too long. So if the rhinoceros horn demon lord had been on guard in advance and had the help of other demon cultivators beside him, the outcome would really be uncertain.
　　“Ji！ ——”
Just after Xu Taiping confirmed the life and death of the rhinoceros horn demon lord, the huge tree with flames rising behind him suddenly let out a sharp cry sound.
　　“Rusty Lion Young Master！”
　　Just at this time, Zhai Mo, Nan Xing, and Elder Zhang all rushed into the courtyard together.
　　“Young Master, you should stay away from that fire tree. When the Vermilion Bird Fruit matures, the area within a radius of several miles will turn into a sea of fire！”
　　Gongshu Nan Xing eagerly reminded Xu Taiping at this time.
　　“Is the Vermilion Bird Fruit about to mature？”
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping was first overjoyed in his heart.
　　When he thought of what Nan Xing and the others had said before, that after taking the Vermilion Bird Fruit, the cultivation speed from the first layer to the third layer would double, he couldn’t help but feel excited in his heart.
　　……
　　One　hour　later.
　　“Young Master Rust Lion, after taking this Vermilion Bird Fruit, you don’t need to look for other spiritual fruits anymore. Your cultivation level will directly break through to the Open Door Realm, and you can immediately obtain the qualification to challenge the Tower Spirit.”
　　In a dilapidated wooden house, Gongshu Nanxing handed a vermilion fruit to Xu Taiping and introduced it to him seriously.
　　“Finally, I can challenge the Tower Spirit.”
　　Xu Taiping took the Vermilion Bird Fruit with joy on his face.
