The Blood Knife Patriarch drew his blade and slashed, the blade's light tearing through the heavens, splitting the darkness and accompanied by the roars of countless vengeful spirits. But in the next second, more black crows flew from the shadows, pecking at the spirits.
To outsiders, the battlefield of the two was shrouded in darkness, crows dancing wildly, occasionally bursting with crimson blood light, an astonishing aura of malice as the two began their clash.
There were six mbers of the Blood Refining Sect present.
Besides the Blood Knife Patriarch, there were also the Fla Demon Ancestor, Xiong Yan, and two early Divine Transformation cultivators, along with one at the mid-stage. Their lineup was formidable, the most powerful here.
No one dared to contend with them.
Even if Night Owl intervened to hold off one Blood Knife Patriarch, the remaining five would overwhelm Xu Hei, leaving him no chance of survival.
The Fla Demon Ancestor, unwilling to waste words, directly pressed a bloody handprint towards Xu Hei's head, intending to crush his skull.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Suddenly, a thick branch flew out from the stone chamber, piercing through the bloody handprint, then lunging towards the Fla Demon Ancestor's face.
The Fla Demon Ancestor raised an eyebrow, blood flas igniting in his palm and sweeping out, burning the branch. But countless roots sprouted from the ground, darting towards his legs with lightning speed, piercing the earth with black holes.
"What the hell is this?"
The Fla Demon Ancestor retreated, eyes fixed on the shadow within the stone chamber.
Under everyone's gaze, a withered giant tree swayed out from the stone chamber, roots forming two legs, branches like arms, with eyes and a mouth on the trunk.
It was the strange tree from the Land of the Moon.
"Soul Nourishing Tree?!"
An uproar erupted from afar.
Outside the battlefield, the experts of the Tianhen Sword Sect had long been watching, their faces changing dramatically as they stared at the Soul Nourishing Tree, eyes nearly popping out.
Especially Li Changge, who had his Heaven's Gate Sword Formation broken by a single strike from the Soul Nourishing Tree. Such an ancient beast, comparable to the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation Stage, appearing here?
"Sothing's wrong with this Soul Nourishing Tree."
Li Changge quickly noticed sothing amiss; the tree seed severely weakened, its strength a notch below what it was in the Land of the Moon.
The Fla Demon Ancestor eyed the Soul Nourishing Tree, a cruel smile curling his lips. "Haha, so this is the strange tree from the Land of the Moon. You actually brought it out, how wonderful. Such a large Soul Nourishing Tree, a boon for my Blood Refining Sect!"
Though he didn't know what thod Xu Hei used to control the tree, it was clearly a great opportunity for the Blood Refining Sect!
He even had to thank Xu Hei for delivering such a grand gift.
"I'll handle the Soul Nourishing Tree. The rest of you, take down Xu Hei!" the Fla Demon Ancestor commanded.
The Fla Demon Ancestor's body ignited with blood flas, like a fiery figure, striking down at the Old Tree. The Old Tree's roots coiled, branches extending into sharp spikes, stabbing forward with lightning speed, attacking thousands of tis in an instant.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."
The Fla Demon Ancestor's flas expanded, forming a blood shield, ignoring the Old Tree's attacks as his palm slamd down on the trunk. Yet the Old Tree remained unmoved, only a shallow palm mark left.
anwhile, his body suffered countless attacks, the blood shield pierced through. Initially, he was indifferent, but the struck areas began to emit black smoke, a highly corrosive energy spreading within, even suppressing his vigorous blood energy.
"Devil energy?"
The Fla Demon Ancestor squinted, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Xu Hei knew that although the Old Tree had successfully taken over a body, its soul and body were still in the adaptation phase, attacking purely on instinct, unable to assist him.
After leaving the physical body and taking over another, anyone would suffer a great loss of vitality.
"Han Te, you can handle that person, right?" Xu Hei asked.
"Rest assured, Boss Xu, Han always keeps his promises and won't let this person free," Han Te replied with a smile, his gaze shifting to the remaining mid-stage Divine Transformation cultivator.
This person was an old woman with dry silver hair, a white bone hairpin, holding a white bone cane, hunched over with a kind smile, looking like a mortal old lady, completely different from the other fierce figures.
However, this old woman was the notorious demon of the Blood Refining Sect, Lady White Bone.
"Oh my, a rogue cultivator at the early Divine Transformation stage has set his sights on this old woman. Do I look so easy to bully?" Lady White Bone said with a raspy voice, slow speech, like soone half in the grave.
"Old lady, Han is just doing his job. How about we both refrain from fighting and just stand here? It would save us from conflict, good for both you and ," Han Te suggested with a smile.
Lady White Bone chuckled, "Haha, you're an interesting young man. I see potential in you. Let feel your bones."
Lady White Bone extended her hand, her slow movents suddenly accelerating in Han Te's eyes, reaching him in an instant, aiming for his forehead with an irresistible force.
"Ha!!"
In an instant, a broken sword appeared in Han Te's hand, severing that strange force, creating distance between them.
Lady White Bone squinted, a glint of brilliance flashing in her eyes.
"I underestimated you, pretending to be weak to catch the strong."
At that mont, Lady White Bone's hunched body straightened, bones crackling, her body growing taller, dry flesh swelling, skin regaining a rosy hue as fresh blood and energy surged in, restoring her youth.
In the blink of an eye, Lady White Bone transford into a beautiful middle-aged woman, lips red as blood, eyes flickering with red light.
"Let this old lady play with you!" Lady White Bone's figure flickered, her sharp claws extending hundreds of feet, reaching for Han Te's neck.
"Sword, co forth!"
Han Te shouted, all his flying swords unsheathing simultaneously. At the sa ti, his aged form transford into a middle-aged man, cultivation reaching the mid-stage Divine Transformation, the Sword Dao Law at his brow surging forth, forming a sword formation in the void, standing firm overhead.
With this, Xu Hei's opponents were reduced to three: Xiong Yan and two early Divine Transformation cultivators, whose level was estimated to be similar to Xue Fengzi and Beiming Lei.
"Heh, things are getting interesting," Xiong Yan remarked, not a trace of panic in his eyes, but rather a hint of a cold smile.
Previously, he was reluctant to engage Xu Hei, not out of fear, but because it was more prudent to have a stronger person act, leaving no opportunity for the opponent.
"Xu Hei, since you've killed two elders of my sect, I naturally won't be arrogant. You two, attack with and eliminate him as quickly as possible!" Xiong Yan declared.
