“Kekekeke—”
Loud, sharp laughter echoed through the air as a figure shrouded in darkness abruptly darted across the field, reaching the far side in a swift blur.
Behind them, blood splattered, still steaming, and bones clattered to the ground, leaving behind a pool of oozing blood.
A bystander swiftly recognized the bone fragnts as belonging to a Golden Core cultivator. In these grim circumstances, all flesh and blood had been rcilessly stripped away, leaving behind nothing but blood-stained skin and a skeletal fra. It was a brutal sight.
Following this, a series of “puff puff puff” sounds filled the air, marking the descent of another four or five sets of bones and skin to the ground. These were the remains of Golden Core Daoists whose life essence and blood had been drained, even their precious golden elixirs stolen.
The stench of blood pervaded the air, horrifying the less experienced female cultivators, causing their faces to pale, teeth to chatter, and almost prompting screams.
The male cultivators were equally shaken, especially those who had co to expand their knowledge with their parents. The grueso sight of even a Golden Core Daoist eting such a fate left them increasingly terrified.
One can only imagine the dire straits if even a Golden Core Daoist has fallen to such a grueso fate—how could their lives be spared?
At this mont, the arena was plunged into chaos.
Xu Ziqing’s eyes widened in horror. He observed hundreds of dark shadows erupting from the dantians of so brightly adorned female cultivators, viciously rushing toward vulnerable real people and cultivators around them, draining their flesh and blood, leaving them lifeless.
This level of brutality was truly outrageous!
Even two cultivators who had acquired fruits at the Fairy Fruit Fair were not spared. Engaged in conversation and laughter with a group of won, they fell prey to the blood shadows before they could react.
In a flash, Yun Lie positioned himself in front of Xu Ziqing, shielding him from the imminent danger.
Xu Ziqing gritted his teeth, restraining himself. He knew all too well that the situation was exceedingly dire. Acting rashly without authorization could easily burden his senior brother instead of assisting him. Nevertheless, the frustration at this reality gnawed at him.
His fists clenched tightly, a blue light flickering between his brows. Regardless of the circumstances, he would remain on high alert. While his senior brother watched the front, he would guard the rear. The Qingyun Needle was his strongest defense. Even if he couldn’t fully resist, he could delay the inevitable.
He even roused Rong Jin, slumbering in his dantian, ready to unleash him at a mont’s notice. Even if it ant engaging in a massacre, he wouldn’t hesitate.
Perhaps due to their seclusion, with no female cultivators nearby, they were spared the wrath of the blood shadows for now.
However, Xu Ziqing was utterly baffled as to why such a calamitous event had befallen them while they were rely guests at Ruyi Xianzhuang.
Moreover, in this chaotic setting, many cultivators had initially been caught off guard, resulting in nurous casualties. Now, they were on high alert, making it more challenging for the assailants. However, it was too late. After a few screams, the five fourth-rank sects that had acquired the Immortal Fuit suffered catastrophic losses, leaving barely any survivors among the heroes present. Even the Xiaoshui Immortal Sect, the third-rank sect among the Three Talents, experienced significant losses.
The Wuling Immortal Sect fared slightly better. Despite being targeted by ten blood shadows, so unassuming cultivators swiftly stepped forward, using their power to reduce the assailants to mounds of flesh.
One of them sneered coldly, “It’s a Blood God Sect mber who utilized the demon seed to possess a woman. No wonder I didn’t notice it!”
Ou Mubai and the others were still in shock, surprised to hear a change in this person’s voice.
Ling Susu whispered, “Is it Elder Qin?”
The rest of the group also noticed that the juniors accompanying them had beco Nascent Soul Patriarchs.
Elder Qin remained in his altered appearance, urgently addressing the lower-ranking disciples, “Gather together quickly, maintain close proximity. The Blood God Sect’s malevolence thrives on exploiting vulnerabilities!”
The disciples gradually moved closer, heeding the warning.
anwhile, in another part of the scene, the female cultivators, who had broken free from the demon’s influence, swiftly summoned their flying swords and rcilessly attacked a group of their fellow cultivators. Their assault was ruthless, leaving no room for rcy, resulting in several deaths. The suddenness of the attack caught the won off guard, leading to multiple casualties.
Among the Twelve Ruyi Envoys, the seemingly ordinary female envoys laughed provocatively, stepping back and focusing on their dantians.
From there, a black light shot out, transforming into several emaciated n of diminutive stature. Each was drenched in blood, with blood adorning their brows and eyes. Their cultivation levels exceeded the Nascent Soul stage!
These blood-stained figures leaped into the air, confronting even so casually ditating ancestors. The shock on the ancestors’ faces was evident as they swiftly conjured their magic tools and chanted countless spells to shield themselves.
The accompanying female elders reprimanded, “Blood God Sect mbers, daring to wreak havoc in Ruyi Xianzhuang!”
But in the next mont, a rift in the void appeared behind them, and an enchanting woman erged, extracting their Nascent Souls from their dantians.
The Sunu within Ruyi Xianzhuang had turned traitor!
The six Yunu Envoys reacted promptly. They had harbored grievances against the Sunu Envoys, and upon seeing the demon seeds extricated from their bodies, they acted swiftly.
Sunu and Yunu, with a longstanding enmity between them, engaged in a fierce battle, showing no rcy.
As the elder sisters, Mu Ronghua, and Rui Rou fought together. Their prowess was among the best among the Ruyi envoys. Their sisterly bond and seamless coordination made them formidable opponents.
While Mu Ronghua wielded the force of water’s rigidity, Rui Rou embodied water’s suppleness. One used a longsword, the other employed a long silk, one fought from a distance, the other up close. Their combination of styles and techniques pushed the four Sunu envoys to their limits. On the other side, four Yunu envoys stood against the two Sunu envoys, gaining the upper hand.
Chaos erupted everywhere, transforming the once ethereal and magical Immortal Fruit Conference into chaos in an instant.
Countless demons erged, engaging fiercely with the practitioners of the immortal way. Due to their surprise attack and the aid of the plain female traitors, they gained the upper hand.
This was the ti for the Dao to battle the demonic forces, and the field resounded with laughter and exclamations. The heroes of the immortal way, who had arrived with high spirits, were now engulfed in panic.
The demonic flas surged, and Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie were in grave danger.
Soon, others noticed two more individuals in that vicinity, seemingly helpless, sparking a sense of relief and hope.
Several demonic leaders emitted horrifying screams, creating a gust of wind as they all charged towards that direction!
Yun Lie’s countenance turned icy, emanating a terrifying aura of murderous intent.
He swiftly unsheathed a longsword, its brilliance shining, giving off an icy cold aura as if it could freeze upon touch.
The monsters were lightning-fast, closing in within an instant.
Yun Lie’s expression remained cold as he raised his sword and struck down, cleaving the first demon in half!
His style of swordsmanship was ruthless, with the sword’s energy being fierce. With each strike, he shattered the demon’s body and pulverized the golden core within, preventing any chance of revival.
Subsequently, Yun Lie’s sword continued its relentless onslaught. Employing simple yet precise maneuvers, each strike claid the life of a demon, preventing them from advancing even half a step closer!
Xu Ziqing held his breath, ensuring he remained composed.
His senior brother stood before him, moving skillfully, extending the reach of his longsword to cover a radius of one foot.
Within this range, no demon could breach.
The power of this individual’s sword was astonishing!
Today, the demonic entities concealed within Sunu’s dantian were all malevolent cultivators, presenting grotesque forms affiliated with the notorious “Blood God Sect.” Their cruelty knew no bounds.
Their cultivation levels were exceptionally high. In addition to the nurous golden elixirs, there were also several Nascent Souls among them. They augnted their strength not only by siphoning the blood essence of cultivators but also by directly devouring individuals. Their ferocity surpassed that of re monsters. Their spells wielded by practitioners of the malevolent path were even more potent than those employed by their orthodox counterparts at the sa level. The ruthlessness of their thods took many inexperienced sect disciples by surprise.
Clearly, Yun Lie was accustod to confronting malevolent entities, displaying a direct approach when dealing with them. He often hit the vital points of the demons, shattering their golden cores with precision.
However, the more audacious he beca, the more frenzied the demon bosses grew. They fearlessly advanced, spewing poisonous gas from their mouths and wielding magic weapons infused with potent malevolent properties. Anything touched by these weapons would imdiately corrode and dissolve.
Behind him, Xu Ziqing was filled with worry. He pondered, when would this relentless onslaught of demons co to an end? After all, his senior brother was rely a Golden Core cultivator. Despite his exceptional potential and bravery, enduring the continuous tide of attacks seed improbable once his real energy was depleted.
The more anxious Xu Ziqing grew, the more concerning thoughts clouded his mind.
Silently focusing his practice, Xu Ziqing raised his hand slightly, revealing a short segnt of white vines in his palm, ready to extend outward…
Yun Lie dispatched a demon head with a swift motion and uttered in a stern tone, “Do not release Rong Jin!”
Anxious, Xu Ziqing interjected, “But, Shixiong…”
Yun Lie continued wielding his sword, speaking at the sa ti, “At this mont, the realms of immortals and demons are clashing. Releasing Rong Jin now would brand him as a bloodthirsty demon.”
Xu Ziqing’s complexion paled. He knew this truth all too well. The initial cause of this skirmish was the conversion of immortal way practitioners to the malevolent path. If he summoned Rong Jin, he might be perceived as an accomplice. Even if he tried to explain, it would likely fall on deaf ears. However, Yun Lie’s white garnts were already stained with blood, and Rong Jin hungered for blood, contending with the blood-filled aura. Xu Ziqing could clearly assist, but due to this, he hesitated… How could he bear this!
Exerting imnse self-control, Xu Ziqing finally said, “Shixiong, don’t worry, unless it’s an absolute necessity…” He clenched his fist bitterly, retracting the vine.
At that mont, a violent tremor rocked the void.
Mu Wuxin’s voice cut through, retaining its coldness but simring with anger, “Yu Nongqing, you dare collude with the malevolent path? Is this a worthy tribute to the Ruyi Xianzhuang ancestors?”
Yu Nongqing’s nonchalant tone responded, “The patriarch has already ascended to immortality, indifferent to our affairs in the cultivation world. The Yunu faction has been the villa’s steward for generations, so why should I be suppressed like the Sunu faction? I find no joy in being restrained on both sides. Why not embrace the demonic path and revel in it instead?”
