With a rumble of thunder, the omnipresent heavenly tribulation descended suddenly. Bolts of lightning struck an asura; the other asura moved away. Their eyes were filled with envy and caution as they surrounded the asura.
The first heavenly tribulation was clearly unable to pose any threat to such a lifeform. The asura successfully underwent the tribulation without any surprises, becoming an Asura General. But in that moment, the hundred or so asura struck out at the same time, attacking the asura that had just undergone the heavenly tribulation from all directions.
This incident even left Li Qingshan extremely surprised. They were still pooling their efforts together a while ago, so why had they suddenly turned against one another?
The asura faced danger again and again, basically almost killed. Even one of his arms had been cut off, and basically half of his neck had been severed. The wounds on his body were extremely horrifying. If he were human, he would have died ten times over already.
However, with his undying body as an asura, he clung on tenaciously, becoming accustomed to the change in his strength after undergoing the tribulation very soon. Gradually, he turned the tides and let out a thunderous roar, using his remaining arm to kill several asura together. His arm regrew with that, becoming more and more unstoppable.
The battle between asura widened Li Qingshan’s horizons. A while later, the Asura General completely gained the upper hand. The asura all suddenly stopped and dropped to one knee together towards the Asura General, revering him as their leader.
The Asura General was satisfied. With a wave of his hand, the asura stood up and gathered behind him. If they still seemed a little like they were fighting alone earlier, then they had completely become an army now.
The Asura General stared at Li Qingshan and the others with his blood-red eyes and belted, “Have you seen enough? Come fight!”
“Just as I wished!” Han Tieyi leapt down from the hill, wielding his spear like a dragon.
“We’ll just watch.”
Li Qingshan raised his hand to stop the siblings who also wanted to fight. He already reached a vague understanding of these asura’s path of slaughter. If he had guessed correctly, the Asura General would not be using the power of the other asura.
Sure enough, seeing Han Tieyi charge over alone, the Asura General raised his battle axe and flew over to receive him. The asura behind him all stayed put, simply watching.
Immediately, their eyes locked together, and the spear and battle axe clashed countless times, sending sparks flying.
Han Tieyi was restrained in every shape and form as soon as he began fighting, losing the upper hand. He had clearly undergone the first heavenly tribulation already many years ago, yet an Asura General that had just undergone the heavenly tribulation completely overwhelmed him.
Even Han Tieyi who came from the school of the Military and was skilled at fighting was like that. If it had been a regular Foundation Establishment cultivator instead, they would have been even less of an opponent.
“Qingshan, why don’t we watch from a closer place so that we can cover Tieyi?”
Hua Chengzan’s face was filled with concern. Soldiers were vicious and battles were dangerous. The slightest carelessness could have Han Tieyi beheaded, but with Li Qingshan’s strength, he could obviously ensure Han Tieyi’s safety.
Li Qingshan shook his head with a smile. “I’m standing here exactly so that I can’t save him when it matters!”
Hua Chengzan frowned. “Why’s that? Has he offended you?”
Li Qingshan smiled. “Of course not. Tieyi is my brother-in-law no matter what you say. Even if he’s offended me, I’d never stoop to the same level as him. Instead, he’s a warrior. Only when he has his back against the wall can he fight desperately and survive.”
Hua Chengzan immediately understood what he meant. Han Tieyi wanted to use this battle to break through to mid Foundation Establishment. If he had a path of retreat or a safeguard, it would instead prevent him from unleashing his full strength. As a result, all Hua Chengzan could do was hold back his worry.
Fierce gusts of wind whistled past his ears and pain filled various parts of his body. Han Tieyi gradually could not cling on for much longer, but he did not take a single step back, allowing blood to spatter from his body.
The incoming axe swung over, something he could not block. He was already in dire straits, but despite walking on a thin line between life and death, he felt an indescribable pleasure. A reckless smile appeared on his frosty face. Suddenly, a power broke through the restraints and spread throughout his body. His spear seemed to spring alive, the spear head twisting to an unbelievable angle and pushing aside the battle axe.
“He did it!” Li Qingshan smiled. Suddenly, he vanished from his location, jumping in between Han Tieyi and the Asura General. He held the spear in one hand and knocked the battle axe away with the other.
Han Tieyi frowned, but Li Qingshan smiled. “Victory has already been determined. If you keep fighting, it won’t benefit you at all. If you really die here, it’ll be quite difficult for me to explain it to Qiongzhi!”
Han Tieyi had broken through to mid Foundation Establishment, but he had lost too much blood in the battle. He was already completely exhausted, having depleted all of his spiritual qi. He completely clung on with willpower alone. On the other hand, the Asura General was still as imposing as ever.
Han Tieyi backed away, and the other asura rushed over.
Li Qingshan swung the Traitorous Demon sword and said to the Asura General, “Once you rest up, we’ll keep fighting!” As he spoke, his figure swelled, assuming his demonified form. He surged with murderousness.
The Asura General stared at Li Qingshan like he was confronting a deadly enemy. He waved his hand to make the asura stop. Gradually, surprise filled his face.
Suddenly, the Asura General dropped down on one knee towards Li Qingshan, leaving him astounded.

The other asura looked at each other and dropped down on one knee as well; it was like how they yielded to the Asura General earlier. But this time, they had not fought.
Li Qingshan leaned on his sword. “Why are you kneeling towards me?”
“Because you’re an even stronger asura!”
The Asura General said with his head raised. As an asura, he could clearly judge the strength of his opponent. If it were only a powerful cultivator, it would not be enough to make him yield. It would just be a battle to the death. Asura never feared slaughter and death.
However, he had only ever seen the violent murderousness that radiated from Li Qingshan on Asura Commanders or even Asura Kings. He already possessed such bearing even without undergoing the endless battles in the Asura realm, so he was basically a natural-born asura. As a result, the Asura General followed the rules of battle among asura and pledged his loyalty to him.
The tiger demon’s will to fight the entire world had already merged with Li Qingshan’s mind, running through his path of slaughter. However, this nature was much more powerful than regular asura, which was why he could subdue these proud asura.
This time, it could truly be described as a “shudder of the tiger’s body”, possessing endless might. Although he did not radiate with the domineering aura of a king, the effect was basically the same.
“Qingshan, what’s this about?”
The siblings rushed over, both astounded by this sight. It felt like nothing when they watched on from afar, but a hundred asura staring at you from so close was frightening. It was like a regular person facing a group of murderers. If it were not for Li Qingshan’s presence, these asura would have swarmed over already and ripped them to pieces.
