Chapter 78: Blood Shadow Phantom Sword

  Faced with this sudden blood light, Zhang Heng had nowhere to hide. However, he was still in a hidden state at the moment, and as soon as he cast any magic or used a defensive spirit tool to protect himself, his figure would be exposed.

  For the next step of the plan, and also because of his confidence in his physical body, Zhang Heng stood still on the spot.

  "Boom!" A large patch of blood light instantly engulfed Zhang Heng.

  The blood light continued to surge forward, and the demon beasts behind let out a series of miserable cries, some were seriously injured, while others died on the spot.

  As for those monks hundreds of meters away, their faces also changed greatly, and they hurriedly used their own defensive methods, and some people even took out their defensive spiritual instruments.

  "Ah——" a mournful cry, the spiritual shield of a mid-term Qi-refining cultivator was shattered by the bloody light, and his entire body lost its vitality in an instant, submerged by the bloody light...

  It's okay, this blood light came quickly and went quickly. Most of these monks held on, one by one, their hearts trembling with fear, terrified that such a blood light would come again.

  After the blood light, a large number of demon beasts were injured, and many even died. The human cultivators in the distance were the luckiest, as they did not receive a direct impact due to their distance.

  Standing near the Blood Slaughter Monument, Zhang Heng was closest to Li Hong and received the strongest attack. Except for the Hu Tian Snake Dragon King, no other cultivators or demon beasts present had discovered his existence.

  Still hidden near the Huàntiān stone tablet, Zhang Heng's feet had sunk half a meter into the ground, but under the impact of the blood light, he didn't budge an inch, like an immovable rock in a storm.

  A pair of eyes tightly closed, Zhang Heng's body remained motionless, as if he had turned into a stone statue.

  The distant Heavenly Dragon King looked at Zhang Heng with some concern, he himself could naturally be unscathed under this impact, but Zhang Heng was just a Qi Refining stage human!

  Soon, Zhang Heng's eyes finally opened, and his eyes were still as calm as ever, but if you looked closely, you could see a few strands of joy.

  If there were no other people or demons around, Zhang Heng would definitely shout: That was awesome! Let's do it again!

  That wave of blood light hit Zhang Heng's body without any reaction. On the contrary, Zhang Heng even felt that he had absorbed a part of the bloody energy.

  After the blood light impact, the body was slightly numb and painful, otherwise, there was no other effect.

  Defense capabilities are indeed the strongest aspect of the abnormal power, and it did not disappoint Zhang Heng.

  Zhang Heng stood there unscathed, and the six eyes of the Huatian Snake Dragon King were filled with a look of astonishment, staring at Zhang Heng in disbelief.

  There were so many demon beasts of the same level as Zhang Heng in the back, all of whom died under this blood light, but Zhang Heng was still standing there unscathed, which is indeed suspicious.

  At this moment, a "crack" sound came from the stone tablet beside Li Hong.

  A dozen or so cracks appeared on the Blood Killing Heaven Monument that was over ten zhang tall, and everyone's gaze was drawn to it by the sound.

  "Rumble..." The stone monument broke into several sections.

  At this moment, a semi-transparent blood shadow shot out from the stone tablet and was caught by Li Hong in his hand.

  Li Hong was seen holding a blood sword that was half transparent throughout, this sword seemed not to be solid, it twisted slightly in the air, like a blood-colored shadow.

  Zhang Heng's expression changed, this is the Blood Shadow Phantom Sword!

  Just as he was about to make a move, a virtual shadow shot out from the Blood Shadow Phantom Sword, forming a vague silhouette composed of blood light.

  Looking at this person's vague figure and face, it is probably a young man.

  When facing this young man, Zhang Heng had an unmatchable illusion, as if the other party could wipe himself out with just a stretch of his fingers.

  Several dozen meters away, the Haotian Shenlong Wang saw this young man composed of blood light, and his massive body actually trembled involuntarily.

  "I am a blood puppet left behind by the Blood Killing God Emperor, and I have come to complete my master's task. Now, I shall begin to infuse the destined ones with the essence of the instrument!"

  As soon as he said that, the young man stretched out his hand and the body of the Heavenly Snake Dragon King involuntarily flew towards him.

  His massive body, like a small mountain, was suddenly captured by him out of thin air.

  "Hmph" The Dragon King of the Vast Heaven gazed at Zhang Heng with a complex look, and spat out a pearl that flowed with seven-colored light from his mouth. This pearl seemed to have a spiritual nature, and floated into Zhang Heng's hand.

  Zhang Heng subconsciously put away the pearl and didn't put it in his storage bag.

  The snake monster indeed did not go back on its word, and Zhang Heng's heart was filled with joy.

  At this moment, the entire body of the Haotian Snake Dragon King was fixed in front of that young man, his body not moving at all, and even his soul was frozen.

  This is indeed high-level magic, Immobilization Technique!

  A Hao Tian snake dragon king as powerful as this was actually pinned down without any resistance!

  Then, the young man transformed into a stream of blood light and invaded the body of Huang Tian Snake Dragon King.

  Next, at a speed visible to the naked eye, the incredibly powerful body of Huang Tian Snake Dragon King suddenly turned into blood water.

  The enormous serpent body like a small mountain suddenly turned into blood water in an instant.

  At this moment, Zhang Heng's heart suddenly felt a faint sadness, before that, the snake monster had given its life-saving elixir to him.

  Recalling its expression when it spat out the demon pellet a moment ago, Zhang Heng's heart felt another wave of guilt and reluctance.

  After the death of Haotian Snake Dragon King, all the demonic beasts around him dispersed and returned to the Blood River.

  When the entire body of the Heavenly Dragon King turned into a bloody water, an invisible shadow that could not be seen with the naked eye entered the Blood Shadow Phantom Sword in Li Hong's hand under the wrapping of the Blood Puppet.

  At that moment, the Blood Shadow Phantom Sword quivered slightly, and a faint dragon's hum emanated from its seemingly non-corporeal, semi-transparent body.

  A faint aura of pressure spread out in all directions, affecting both the cultivators and the demonic beasts present.

  Zhang Heng was closer to Li Hong, and in front of this dragon's roar, he involuntarily felt a sense of fear.

  The Blood Puppet said faintly to Li Hong, "The Huatian Snake Dragon King itself contains some of the dragon clan's bloodline. In this realm, it can be considered one of the top-notch demon beasts. Using its soul as the sword's spirit should be a match."

  Li Hong's face was filled with joy, and he slightly raised the Blood Shadow Phantom Sword in his hand, asking: "This sword..."

  "The Blood Shadow Ghost Sword is an extreme-grade spiritual artifact that the master used when he was young, its power is even stronger than ordinary magical artifacts. Since you have cultivated the Blood Demon True Classic, you should be able to bring out a few parts of this artifact's power..."

  Top-grade spiritual artifact? Or is it a top-grade spiritual artifact once used by the Blood Kill Emperor?

  All the monks present were deeply moved.

  For most cultivators, top-grade spiritual artifacts are purely legendary existences.

  It is said that ordinary top-grade spiritual artifacts have half the power of ordinary magical artifacts, and judging from what the Blood Puppet said, this Blood Shadow Phantom Sword is even more powerful than an ordinary magical artifact. Moreover, this spiritual artifact has also been infused with a spirit, so its power will likely increase by several folds.

  The monks in the distance all showed a greedy color, if it weren't for the blood puppet still being by their side, they would have rushed up to grab this top-grade spiritual instrument long ago.

  At this moment, the Blood Puppet's body was fading away, and the blood light on its body was also gradually disappearing: "I'm about to disappear soon. Also, remind you that these broken stone tablets contain a lot of blood spirit essence, you can make good use of it..."

  Finally, this blood puppet disappeared into thin air.

  "Hahaha..." Li Hong burst into a fit of maniacal laughter, lightly waving the Blood Shadow Phantom Sword with his hand, as streaks of blood-colored sword energy slashed out in all directions.

  In an instant, several deep and bottomless sword marks appeared on the ground.

  Next to Zhang Heng was a thumb-wide, several-dozen-meters-deep sword scar.

  What a terrifying attack! Zhang Heng took in a cold breath.

  Even with the defensive spirit tool on, it can't withstand this sword.

  Is this the power of an Extreme Spirit Treasure? Perhaps this sword has already surpassed the category of Extreme Spirit Treasures!

  The sword energy just now almost brushed past Zhang Heng's shoulder, nearly exposing his figure.

  At this moment, seven or eight monks from afar also began to approach this way, each with a greedy look on their faces.

  Li Hong did not notice Zhang Heng, who was tens of meters away from him. His gaze was cold and stern as he stared at the seven or eight cultivators approaching from afar, with a hint of mockery on his lips, without any intention of retreating.

  Is this guy trying to take on eight at once? Zhang Heng thought incredulously.

  In the same rank, wanting to single-handedly challenge 7 or 8 elites is impossible, unless you have a freakish defense like Zhang Heng's, otherwise you'll just be instantly killed by a barrage of spells.

  At this moment, Zhang Heng's gaze fell on the fragmented Blood Slaughter Heavenly Monument not far away, and according to the blood puppet's words earlier, this monument still contained a vast amount of blood spirit essence...
