Chapter 157: The Complete Blood Fiend
Chapter 157: The Complete Blood Fiend
Without Lu Hangzhi around, the battle situation at Two Realms Mountain did not change or have any gaps.
Situ was still the main fighter at Two Realms Mountain. With his amazing movement skills from stealthy killing and the Sound Wave Law, dealing with early to mid Mystic Light Stage Blood Fiends was easy for him.
Biluo was struggling a bit.
The Evil Spirits he summoned kept draining his energy. Even though he had many rare treasures, he almost used all his strength every time he fought. Over time, he could not take it anymore.
“Are those old guys from your Seven Great Sects coming or not!”
“They all call themselves righteous, but when it really matters, they all hide like turtles!”
“Damn it! Get lost!”
Biluo’s angry roars became more and more frequent and harsh.
The people from the Seven Great Sects at Two Realms Mountain were angry but did not dare to say anything…
At a time like this, if anyone tried to mock or argue back, and if Biluo got so upset he quit, who would take his place?
It was better to just let him vent!
Honglian loudly directed everyone to destroy the Blood Fiend heads that slipped through, while nervously watching the Matrix Tower at the highest point of Two Realms Mountain.
Hangzhi had been quiet for a while.
But from the aura swirling over there, he seemed to be fine.
And…
Nearly two hundred golden Mind-Concentrating Sword Qi stood upright, surrounding the Matrix Tower. It looked like they were protecting him while he trained in seclusion.
“That annoying kid, why did he have to break through now of all times, at such a critical moment?”
Even though Honglian said that, she still had a group of people watch that direction closely, ready to help at any time.
But…
Her worry was unnecessary.
Two hundred golden Mind-Concentrating Sword Qi, even in the eyes of Mystic Light Stage Blood Fiends, were like a forest of blades, very dangerous. Instinctively, they all avoided that area and dropped down in other directions.
Even though the Spatial Rift Formation in the Sky Passage kept working beyond its limit, whenever a wave of Blood Fiends broke through the defense and charged into the Barbarian Continent, it got a chance to rest. Then the formation would shine with amazing power again, creating a deadly electric net…
Because of this!
The cultivators at Two Realms Mountain got a chance to catch their breath.
Unfortunately.
As time passed.
More and more Blood Fiend bodies, broken limbs, and blood covered Two Realms Mountain. The ground turned blood red, covered with holes and pits everywhere. Thick blood flowed freely on the surface, running into the pits and forming Blood Pool depressions.
In one small, unnoticed depression, a large part of a broken head rolled out from a damaged chest and into the Blood Pool. It began to suck the blood of the Blood Fiends in the Blood Pool depression.
One mouthful after another, it swallowed madly.
Blood from all around seemed to be called, flowing silently into the depression and into the Blood Fiend’s mouth.
The Blood Fiend’s head quickly became whole again.
Then its body, limbs, and wings…
“A Blood Fiend!”
“There’s a complete Blood Fiend here!”
Finally, a cultivator noticed the rising figure in the Blood Pool depression. Looking closely, he was terrified and quickly shouted a warning.
“Splash!”
As soon as the warning sounded, the Blood Fiend, now repaired and grown to five meters tall, leaped out of the Blood Pool depression. It left a smelly blood-colored shadow in the air and appeared outside the warning cultivator’s Matrix Tower. Its cold, fierce eyes filled with wild killing intent.
Boom!
The Blood Fiend slammed into the Defensive Barrier outside the Matrix Tower. The barrier shattered with a loud crash, and the cultivators inside were thrown out in all directions.
But…
Before the group could run far, their feet were suddenly trapped.
Looking down, they saw tentacles made of blood grabbing their ankles and quickly winding up their bodies.
“Ah!”
“No…”
Under the horrified stares of nearby cultivators, twenty Spirit Coalescence Elders had all their Essential Blood sucked dry by the Blood Fiend’s tentacles. Their bones crumbled, and they turned into thin, soft human-shaped skins.
After absorbing the Essential Blood of twenty Mind Focusing Cultivators, the five-meter-tall Blood Fiend suddenly grew several meters taller, becoming a ten-meter blood body. Two pairs of blood-red demon wings spread wide as it flew low toward another nearby Matrix Tower.
“Fight with all you have if you want to live!”
“Die!”
The cultivators in the Matrix Tower reacted quickly, counterattacking and blocking. Sword Qi and dozens of Late Concentration Stage and peak Art Techniques weaved into a net, rushing forward with great force.
All kinds of Sword Qi, Art Techniques, and Talismans…
The Blood Fiend smiled strangely, grabbed a handful of blood light in the air, and formed a shield.
Boom boom boom!!
Countless Sword Qi and Art Techniques all hit the blood shield without exception.
No matter how strong the blood shield was, it could not withstand the full force of dozens of cultivators at once and broke immediately…
But.
The moment the blood shield broke, the Blood Fiend disappeared. It seemed to teleport, appearing close above the Matrix Tower. With both hands, it held a blood-colored spike spear over ten meters long and thrust down with all its might!
The complete Blood Fiend’s full-power strike.
The Defensive Barrier shattered.
The Matrix Tower was pierced by the leftover force.
Twenty Mind Focusing Cultivators fled the Matrix Tower in terror.
Just as they were about to meet the same fate as the previous group, a Sound Wave Law power arrived late and stunned the violent Blood Fiend.
Thump!
Before the Blood Fiend could catch its prey, its head exploded.
The twenty blood tentacles rising from the ground quickly turned back into ordinary blood and fell to the ground.
Before many cultivators could sigh in relief, more panicked shouts rose from Two Realms Mountain.
“There’s one here too!”
“Help!”
Not far away, two more half-complete Blood Fiends appeared.
One Blood Fiend, after rising, kept absorbing the surrounding blood to repair and improve its power.
The other one directly attacked and broke a nearby Matrix Tower.
At that very moment, dozens of Blood Fiends surged out of the Sky Passage. Situ immediately did not dare to keep helping others and focused on the main group in front of him.
With no one to stop them, the two Blood Fiends quickly grew into ten-meter-tall complete forms. In an instant, they destroyed four Matrix Towers and killed eighty Mind Focusing Cultivators.
For a while, the cultivators at Two Realms Mountain were all scared and desperate.
Just then.
The four Inspector Envoys of Honglian resolutely took action.
Each of them held a Magical Artifact and stepped out of the Matrix Tower.
“Slant Peak Seal!”
The East Sect Leader of the Two Realms Sect struck first.
A massive mountain, over a hundred meters tall, appeared abruptly above the Blood Fiend’s head. With awe-inspiring might, it sealed the surrounding space and crashed downward with immense force!
The Blood Fiend’s pursuit was instantly interrupted. It roared furiously, thrusting its hands deep into the mountain, actually halting the mountain’s descent through sheer force.
A loud cracking sound came from the Blood Fiend’s hands.
Before Honglian and the others could feel relieved, they saw the Blood Fiend roar while lowering its head. Blood surged from the ground like a pillar, which it swallowed voraciously into its stomach.
Its fractured arms immediately healed, its Qi and Blood replenished, and its momentum grew even fiercer. It had actually managed to block the full-power attack of a cultivator at the Concentrated Spirit Peak Stage, paired with a Magical Artifact, relying solely on physical strength.
“Arrow of Annihilation!”
Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, the West Sect Leader of the Two Realms Sect quickly unleashed a second Magical Artifact.
However…
The Blood Fiend gave a sinister smile. Blood energy erupted violently from its body, easily pushing the mountain away. With a flap of its wings, it vanished from its spot.
Thud!
The Blood Fiend staggered, a large gash torn in its wing by a silver sleeve arrow. It tumbled to the ground from a hundred meters away.
Instead of looking relieved, Honglian and the others grew even more grim-faced.
They saw…
the Blood Fiend bathed in blood, and when it rose again, the wing destroyed by the Magical Artifact had already been perfectly restored.
The four of them wore extremely troubled expressions.
Their strongest attack had been effortlessly negated by the Blood Fiend without causing it any harm, which was a significant blow to their morale.
“What should we do?”
“What else can we do? We must try to buy time for the Immortal Lord.”
Honglian made a bitter but resolute decision.
“Watch out!”
While they were talking, the Blood Fiend suddenly disappeared. Then four blood-red tentacles abruptly emerged from the ground beneath their feet, grabbing their ankles.
Ding!!
Honglian’s quick eyes and hands shook her Soul Capture Bell, and the blood-red tentacles instantly disintegrated and vanished…
The Blood Fiend’s figure also stumbled out from a short distance away.
That was close!
All four broke out in a cold sweat at the same moment:
They had almost been drained dry!
But the situation remained urgent and perilous…
The Blood Fiend was close at hand, capable of slaughtering them with a mere turn of its hand.
At this critical moment…
a sword cry suddenly rang out!
The Blood Fiend barely had time to react as a field of golden sword light filled its vision. Before it could understand what was happening, it was cleaved from head to toe by a single sword strike.
“Hangzhi!”
“It’s Hangzhi!”
“You brat, you’ve finally arrived!”
Having narrowly escaped death, the four instantly recognized the spreading spatial fissures around the golden Sword Qi as the result of Lu Hangzhi merging with his Sword Formation. Overcome with relief, they were also filled with lingering fear.
“Four Sect Leaders, there’s no time to lose! Please immediately order all Cultivators to use their techniques to evaporate the blood on Two Realms Mountain!”
Honglian’s eyes lit up.
Exactly!
Two Realms Mountain had now become the perfect breeding ground for Blood Fiends, so it had to be destroyed as quickly as possible.
These Mind Focusing Cultivators inside the Matrix Tower couldn’t help fight the Blood Fiends directly, but destroying the Blood Fiends’ living environment was a simple task they could easily accomplish.
“Why didn’t I think of that?!”
“Notify all Cultivators of the Seven Great Sects and Yanfu Mountain immediately.”
…
He had successfully cultivated the second layer of “The Path to Divinity.”
Lu Hangzhi felt his confidence soar:
His entire Spiritual Power Pool had now been replaced with golden-hued Magic Power. It resembled a vast, tranquil golden ocean, appearing even more solid and dense.
His Spiritual Sense had expanded to a radius of six li, just enough to cover the height of the Sky Passage’s exit. This was an unprecedented milestone.
After slaying one Blood Fiend with a single sword strike,
Lu Hangzhi didn’t look back, swiftly channeling Magic Power. The Golden Greatsword Energy shot toward the second complete Blood Fiend in another area.
The Blood Fiend jerked its head warily, and dozens of blood pillars shot up like agile serpents, intertwining as they crashed into the Golden Greatsword Energy.
The blood pillars possessed astonishing force and Law Power, incredibly fierce and nimble, quickly coiling around the Golden Greatsword Energy. With each collision, large amounts of red blood mist evaporated.
Lu Hangzhi’s expression shifted slightly!
With every impact, as the blood pillars evaporated, the golden Sword Qi was also worn away layer by layer.
In the blink of an eye, over twenty blood pillars had reduced the Golden Greatsword Energy’s volume by two-thirds, drastically diminishing its power!
Yet…
as Lu Hangzhi continued channeling Magic Power from a distance, his face slightly paling, the golden Sword Qi suddenly erupted and swelled, instantly restoring to its peak state!
Boom!
It sliced through the remaining blood pillars in one go, striking the Blood Fiend’s stiffened, ferocious grin.
The body was split in two!
