Chapter 45

  Xue Mo's heart was burning with anxiety, and when he took action, he couldn't help but lose his composure. Although he said that his moves were getting more ruthless, Su Xing's mental state at this time was much stronger than his, and he actually managed to hold on, entwining himself around Xue Mo, not letting him escape.

  Two men were fighting fiercely, one surrounded by black air and the other shrouded in heavy red light, neither yielding to the other, vying for victory!

  You see Su Xun's expression is so triumphant, but in fact his heart has become even calmer. He had been fighting with the Blood Demon for a while, and he realized that this demon king had something on his mind, and was also afraid of being tricked, so he simply opened his mouth and laughed at him: "Demon King, your general's body is going to be ruined!"

  The Blood Demon's eyes turned bright red, and he felt a vein on his forehead throbbing violently: "You little brat! Don't say another word, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself!"

  He couldn't help but probe his physical condition, and upon doing so, he indeed felt that the meridians in this fleshly body had suffered some damage, and the skin had also cracked open several bloody mouths due to the tyrannical nature of his spiritual power. If he continued to indulge in such wanton use, it was likely that this fleshly body would soon collapse, and all his previous efforts would be for naught.

  The Blood Demon's anger was uncontrollable, but he had no choice. He roared: "You little brat, the Immortal Path and the Devil Path have nothing to do with each other, why did you come looking for trouble with me?"

  He didn't say anything, but when he did, Xu Xian's sword-like eyebrows stood on end, and a fierce intent rose from the bottom of his heart: "Unrelated? Blood Demon, you have a bad memory, but in just a few decades, you've forgotten all the bloody cases you committed?"

  Blood Demon's ears perked up, and his heart skipped a beat.

  By this time he still didn't understand that this young man had obviously come to seek revenge, and no matter how much more he said it would be useless, and would only make him look down on others.

  Xuēmó immediately fell silent, but a hint of anger arose in his heart. He thought to himself, "It's said that one should cut the grass and eliminate the roots; indeed it's not false." Today he absolutely cannot let this little brat get away, otherwise the young will come and the old will follow, bringing their families to bother him, how troublesome!

  At this point, the Blood Demon beckoned with one hand and summoned two blood wasps to his front, one in each hand, pinching them into two balls of blood.

  The blood water fell to the ground and became a pool of blood, rising again into a bloody mist, and then suddenly seemed to give birth to spirituality, transforming into several finger-length blood snakes, faintly visible, as if hidden and visible.

  The spell was far from complete, but Xue Mo let out a cold laugh and shouted: "Blood Fog Life-Taking Great Technique!"

  Several loud explosions were heard, and the bloody atmosphere here became even thicker. From all directions, more blood mist came from outside, dyeing the sky red, quickly pouring into the illusory blood snake's body, making it condense extremely fast.

  Su Xun's face turned blue with rage, he was not a fool and immediately reacted, his eyes almost spitting fire: "You killed all those southerners!"

  He was not a ruthless person, despite his self-righteous scholar identity and disdain for ordinary people. Therefore, although he had given those eunuchs and soldiers a hard time when he came tonight, he had not killed anyone. Now that he saw this situation, how could he not know that the Blood Demon had used magic to kill those few eunuch guards who were guarding the Eastern Palace, taking their vital blood to feed the blood snake?

  "Despicable and insane!" Su Xun thought of his own blood feud, angrily cursing, "The demon head deserves to die, should be cut into a thousand pieces, and have his soul completely destroyed!"

  A layer of thin blood light covered the face of the Blood Demon, who laughed wildly and said: "I'll suck you in first, then go eat your companions. By that time, you can just wait to be digested inside my belly..."

  Before his words had fallen, Su Xun was already a fierce and impatient man who drew his sword and rushed forward.

  The Blood Demon let out a loud roar, the blood snake's pupils flashed, hundreds of snakes' bodies revealed their fangs, and they all pounced on Su Xing together!

  Xu Ziqing found the Blood Demon's physical body and immediately followed the rapidly drifting Yun Liao to the Crown Prince's East Palace.

  They had already sensed something was off before they even approached each other.

  Two-colored light intertwined in the sky above the East Palace, it should be Su Xun and Blood Demon entwining in battle. However, all around was quiet, only smelling an extremely strong fresh bloody smell.

  A bad feeling in his heart, Xuzi Qing quickened his pace and landed on the ground, his pupils shrinking.

  At the entrance of the East Palace, there should have been dozens of eunuchs and hundreds of soldiers guarding it. Now, however, all that was left were skeletons scattered on the ground, a layer of human skin, a handful of hair clinging to the scalp, and clothes scattered all over the floor.

  That Blood Demon, has again slaughtered innocent people!

  A chill ran through his entire body, a strong killing intent surged forth. His sword aura danced wildly, making a "zi zi" sound, as if it was about to tear the sky apart.

  Xu Ziqing saw the situation and instead suppressed his anger, quickly walking to his friend's side and saying: "Yun brother, this time you and I will join hands to eliminate the demon!"

  Yun Liao said: "This demon must be executed."

  The two men stopped talking and disappeared into the crowd.

  All along the way, white bones piled up, and dry corpses were stacked. Xu Ziqing couldn't bear it in his heart, so he didn't dare to glance sideways, but instead walked straight through.

  Before long, the two had arrived at the courtyard, where they saw Xue Mo and Su Xin. One was sitting on a blood-red horse, while the other was floating in mid-air, neither of them willing to give way to the other. The air was thick with tension.

  Su Xun was now being forced to his limits, and with only a cultivation of five layers of Qi Refining, no matter how exceptional his innate talent was, he couldn't be compared to that old demon. Moreover, the blood snakes had absorbed enough essence and blood, each one was ferocious and venomous, extremely agile, and once they entwined him, it would be really hard to defend against them.

  Helpless, the cyan flames of treasure fire were spat out again and attached to Su Xing's flying sword, causing the sword light to surge greatly, producing a blue-green flame that was over 10 feet long!

  The blood snake slithered around, wreaking havoc, but couldn't touch the fire. With just a slight touch, it would dissipate into smoke. Su Xun relied on his flying sword, constantly urging on his spiritual energy, but unfortunately, there were too many blood snakes. To prevent them from getting close and exhausting himself, his spiritual energy consumption was also extremely high. As he saw himself gradually running out of strength, Su Xun clenched his teeth, wanting to bite his tongue and spit out a mouthful of vital blood to once again urge on the flying sword. However, just at this moment, he saw a familiar figure appear on the outside, and couldn't help but also let out a slight sigh of relief.

  Xu Ziqing has arrived!

  This time, Su Xun felt that he had come to help, and Xue Mo also realized that a stranger had arrived, a cultivator of the immortal Tao.

  Just now because of urging Shengxue Snake, he divided his heart and spirit. Now that he has calmed down, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

  It's physical!

  Xuě Mó could be said to be furious, he had painstakingly nourished his physical body, but now his primordial spirit was disconnected from his physical body, what else didn't he understand?

  His physical body was taken away!

  Knowing this, Xue Mo looked at Su Xun with endless hatred.

  He fell for the trick of creating a diversion in the east and attacking in the west!

  He should have returned quickly when the seal was touched, but he was blocked by someone and almost lost his chance. Now he has to kill these few people, take back his physical body, before he can make other plans!

  Xuē Mó was also a resolute person, at this time he no longer worried about Jiao Tu's physical body, nor did he suppress his spiritual power, and released all the power brought by Yuān Shén!

  His physical body was seized, his life was in danger, where could he still care about seizing the fortune of the dynasty? Let's get through this difficult pass first! If his primordial spirit is destroyed, even if he wants to refine this physical body again, it will be useless!

  Since there was a choice, the Blood Demon's arms slightly opened, and between his palms appeared a blood flag, similar to what Xu Ziqing and others saw in the demon cave, but looking at it, I don't know what kind of strange material it is made of. From its appearance, it seems to be like black gold, but I think it must be hundreds of times harder.

  That blood flag was heavy, raised by the Blood Demon like a long spear, extremely powerful. The bloody light on the flag was overflowing, and the stench was overwhelming, making it even more ferocious.

  Xu Zi Qing saw that Su Xuan was being forced by the Blood Snake, so he generated two emerald leaves under his feet and flew up to go and assist him. However, the Blood Demon's movements were even faster, before Xu Zi Qing could make a move, it had already taken out the Blood Flag, and the Blood Snake also underwent many changes.

  Only to see the blood flag rise, the blood snakes retreated from Su Xun's body one after another. Afterwards, they were like moths flying into flames, competing with each other, and all of them threw themselves into the blood flag.

  The blood flag shines brighter with each swallow of a blood snake, also becoming more eerie and sinister. The Blood Demon lets out a strange laugh, occasionally spewing out a stream of blood energy that adds to the flag's luster.

  In the blink of an eye, the blood flag had been refined to a state of surging evil energy. The Blood Demon grasped it with one hand and gave it a fierce shake.

  "Brush!"

  The blood flag moved, and countless bloody mists burst out from within, several times more intense than when the blood snake appeared earlier. The bright red color became increasingly thick and sticky, pouring into people's mouths and noses, making them feel like vomiting as soon as they caught a whiff of the smell, and even their souls felt dizzy.

  But this was not the end, for in this sea of blood-like fog, some strange and eerie sounds began to emerge.

  "Ka-chunk... Ka-CHUNK!"

  "Rustle rustle——"

  Xu Ziqing wiped his face with a palm, and suddenly the green light in his eyes flashed, only then did he see clearly the situation amidst the bloody fog.

  It was only then that he realized that countless skeletons wrapped in bloody skin were swaying and walking towards the blood flag, step by step.

  At first, the skeletons were a bit slow, but soon Xu Ziqing found that as the blood mist grew thicker, the skeletons' footsteps also quickened, and their movements became more agile. Before long, they became agile and ferocious, rushing forward on all fours like fierce beasts!

  Su Xun was standing at the highest point, his eyes were two clusters of blue flames, and he could see the scene below clearly. Suddenly, he exclaimed: "What is this thing?"

  Xu Ziqing didn't know what it was either, but he also knew that it was extremely difficult to deal with. So he opened his mouth and said: "Yun brother, I'll go help Su Xun." After finishing speaking, the green leaves under his feet moved, and took him flying towards Su Xun's place.

  But then Xu Ziqing's feet sprouted green leaves, and the surrounding air was filled with the scent of cypress. A soft, emerald light radiated from his body, like a lantern, as he wandered through the bloody mist.

  The blood fog was thick and sticky, originally entwining people so they couldn't move, but unexpectedly, as soon as it touched the green light, it dispersed like flowing water, truly making one feel extremely surprised.

  The object in front of him was scattered with a touch, and Xu Ziqing didn't hesitate either. He quickly flew to Su Xun's side and said, "I'm here to help you."

  Su Xian saw Xu Zi Qing's body covered in green mist and was overjoyed: "You are a wood-element cultivator?"

  Xu Ziqing nodded: "Exactly, how?"

  Su Xuan smiled and said, "The wooden nature is vigorous, you see those standing up are all skeletons, they were originally killed by the Blood Demon. The reason why they can move is probably due to the magic of the Blood Demon. However..."

  Xu Ziqing also came to understand: "However, since it's an inanimate object, it must have a dead energy."

  Xu Xian also said: "While the vital energy of death is overcome by the vital energy of life."

  Guai Dao Su Xun was overjoyed, but the blood mist and skeletal remains were eerie. In the end, it was still a product of death energy giving rise to life. With several wood-attributed cultivators present, they could all more or less restrain it to some extent.

  Xia Tian also sensed the Blood Demon's presence, but he was extremely confident in his technique. Even if there were Wood-type cultivators, what could they do? Their cultivation and experience were limited, and they might not be a match for these Blood Demons.

  He could only secretly regret that his current cultivation was limited, if he were still at the peak of his Yuan Yuan period, how would he have only created such a low-level corpse demon!

  Before the two young monks could react, the Blood Demon let out a whistle.

  Suddenly, the corpse demons let out a loud howl, their blood skin trembling non-stop, and their joints creaking with a cracking sound. Soon, several bones protruded from their backs, making a series of popping sounds, like firecrackers. After this burst of crackling, the bones quickly fused together, transforming into a pair of bone wings, which flapped once and flew into the air!

  Xu Ziqing and Su Xuan were about to swing their swords to behead the demon, when dozens of corpse demons suddenly appeared in front of them, their speed was like aurora, and in just one flash, they revealed rows of sharp teeth.

  Almost as a subconscious reaction, Xu Ziqing's palm flashed with Thousand Year Steel Wood, slashing down in a beheading motion.

  "Bang! Bang!"

  This skeleton was shattered by this slash and suddenly scattered all over the ground.

  Xu Ziqing opened his eyes and looked around, only to find that he had been surrounded by corpse demons. Behind him, countless more corpse demons emerged from the bone wings, rushing forward in a frenzy.

  No more hesitation now, raise the thousand-year-old steel and wood, it's a horizontal chop and vertical slash!

  A figure in white floated quietly in the midst of this deep, crimson fog, with no undead creature daring to approach within several feet of him. Yet he remained completely still, as if he had no intention of joining the fray.

  Until Xu Ziqing made his move, he couldn't help but slightly furrow his brow.

  The long sword in Xun's hand was a deep crimson, with a layer of azure blue on top. As he danced, the flames rolled and every swing of his sword would inevitably ignite a long trail of fire that refused to dissipate.

  His movements were extremely swift and fierce, with a sword light that seemed to have its own rhythm, not chaotic in the slightest. And this sword technique seemed to match his attributes, but as soon as it struck an undead demon, it turned into a piece of scorched ash!

  Two people who were once fighting side by side, each with their own methods, are now gradually moving closer together, back to back, due to the excessive number of corpse demons. Fortunately, the fierce fire energy and the calm wood energy complement each other, allowing them to fight against the corpse demons with remarkable strength.

  The corpses kept coming in endless waves, and as soon as one was cut down, another would take its place. Before long, their spiritual energy had been depleted by half, but the corpses just kept on coming. If this continued, they would likely be drained of all their spiritual energy. When that happened, the corpses would swarm them once more, and the two of them would be unable to escape the devil's clutches!

  Xu Ziqing also had some experience in battle, seeing the situation was unfavorable, he said: "I'll lure away the Corpse Demon, you look for an opportunity to kill the Blood Demon!"

  Su Xun naturally had no objection, and he also knew that Xu Ziqing was carrying a wooden energy, which might be more likely to survive than others. He replied: "I'll hold on for a moment, can you clear a path for me?"

  Xu Ziqing said: "Let's give it a try."

  The two of them hastily agreed, and Su Xun's figure flashed by, sweeping his long sword horizontally, instantly clearing the area around Xu Ziqing.

  Behind him, the corpse demon was about to come over, but Xu Ziqing had already raised his arm, his left hand clenched into a fist, and then suddenly opened it with a splash!

  Suddenly, countless green light spots burst out of his palm, like countless green waves, and also like a drizzle, covering an area of three feet in diameter.

  If you look closely, you can see that it's not just a light spot, but many sparkling leaves, crystal clear and lovely. Each leaf has a very pure aura of wood energy, and when the bloody air comes into contact with it, the blood energy retreats immediately. And if an undead demon touches the leaf, it will soon be stuck to it, the wood energy and the dead energy canceling each other out, until the dead energy disappears. The undead demon loses its strength instantly, turns back into a skeleton, and falls from the air, turning into powder.

  "Good move!"

  Xu Ziqing smiled slightly, and his heart also stabilized a bit. He poured out another green glow this time towards the direction of the Blood Demon, pushing it along the road with all his might. The emerald leaves were very obedient, and they immediately spread out like a rising tide, dispersing all the dead energy wherever they passed.

  Su Xuan also moved with it, he closely followed the leaf and flew forward quickly, the blood fog in front of him constantly dispersing, and he kept getting closer to the Blood Demon!

  Ten feet, eight feet, three feet — the Blood Demon is right before our eyes!

  And so, Blood Demon's ability to control Blood Flag was limited by the fact that he had to focus all his attention on it, without any room for dodging.

  This spell uses the Blood Flag as its eye, called "Corpse Demon's Bone-Eroding Great Array", which is a seventh-grade spell array, extremely poisonous. This array matches the "Blood Demon's Great Method", regardless of how much blood demon cultivation is done, it can all activate the corpse bones that are being absorbed.

  In the year that Jindan Zhenren and Xue Mo had a great battle, it was because Xue Mo summoned countless bones of cultivators who were harmed by him, transforming them into a terrifying sea of corpse demons, which almost trapped him inside, unable to escape.

  That array of methods was more than a hundred times stronger than it is now, and not only did the undead skeletons of cultivators have to be many times more powerful than those of ordinary people, but also because the Blood Demon's cultivation was vastly different from what it is now, they were barely able to hold back that True Person.

  However, the Golden Elixir period is indeed the first step for cultivators to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. The Supreme Elder of the Scattered Cultivator Alliance was injured while sweeping away this formation, but still allowed the Blood Demon to escape...

  Xian Xia's Blood Demon is confident, even if the current formation has dropped by several levels, but his opponent is just a child who has not yet built his foundation, and to him, it can't be considered anything!

  However, he did not expect that just as the corpse demon was about to slowly grind the two young monks to death, the blood fog in the array suddenly thinned.

  The Blood Demon narrowed his eyes and looked up.

  It turned out that the slightly older youth was a wood-attribute cultivator, and... after carefully sizing him up, the Blood Demon's expression suddenly changed.

  Just as wood energy has a restraining power over death energy and a strong perceptual power over demonic energy, demonic energy and death energy also have the same effect on wood energy. From the perspective of the Blood Demon, it was astonishing to discover that the wood energy was extremely pure, without even a single impurity!

  This is impossible!

  Unless they form the Embryonic Breath, thoroughly transform their body and recreate their Dao Body, they will not be able to automatically expel the foreign spiritual energy that enters their body. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for these low-level cultivators to achieve this!

  Not, or perhaps there is another situation ——

  Single spirit root.

  If this young man is a single spiritual root, then even if his cultivation is very low, the spiritual power in his body is still extremely pure.

  After making such an inference, a thread of greed suddenly appeared at the bottom of Xue Mo's eyes.

  Dan Linggen is what kind of evil talent, this type of person even if the cultivation is not high, the spiritual power contained in that flesh and blood is far beyond others, if you absorb one, it can be equivalent to a hundred other cultivators with the same cultivation!

  Unconsciously, the Blood Demon licked his lips.

  I really want to eat it...

  But at this moment, the bloody mist was getting thinner. He could even smell a grassy scent gradually driving away the bloody smell, constantly pressing towards him.

  Although the breath was not urgent, it was undeniable that the blood fog in the formation had fallen downwind!

  The Blood Demon's face changed color, and he temporarily suppressed his greedy thoughts.

  Just then, a scorching flame burst forth extremely quickly!

  In the flames, a handsome young man was wrapped, holding a long sword, with a bright blue light on the sword, and he was fighting him with an unprecedented, fearless and death-defying posture!

  Xue Mo let out a cold laugh, unhurried and calm, grasped the Blood Flag and fiercely slammed it against that long sword!

  "Clang Clang——"

  Golden iron clashed, and on the long sword of Xun, a blue-green flame burst forth in all directions, yet it could not harm the Blood Flag in the slightest.

  It's also unknown how the blood flag was refined, but after such a brief contact, it actually made the flying sword blacken for several inches. Fortunately, the Qing Yan treasure fire was not ordinary, and with just one circulation, all the blackening was completely eliminated.

  It's still not an opponent even if it's forgiven.

  Blood Demon waved the blood flag and launched a series of frenzied attacks again.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  One blow surpasses another, one sound surpasses another!

  Rumble...

  Su Xuan was originally in the air, although he borrowed the power of a dive to come, but after all, he was hit several times in a row, and soon became powerless. After two consecutive blows, he finally flew out backwards!

  Xue Mo repelled Su Xun, but did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him. Instead, he shifted his gaze and moved to a higher position, where a young man in a green shirt was continuously driving away and killing the corpse demons.

  His eyes no longer concealed a hint of greed.
