Chapter 702: Chapter 378: The Reason, Blood Evil Qi!
Boom!
Thousands of meters high in the sky, a powerful shockwave, like a storm, swept in all directions, dispersing the sea of clouds, constantly pressing on the bodies of those present.
Swish!
Under the impact, Liu Qingyu was suddenly blown away over a thousand meters, her blood churned!
“Such strong Realm, like a great river flowing! Ordinary Heavenly-level Great Power cannot compare!”
Liu Qingyu steadied herself, feeling the extreme cold and scorching heat approaching, took a deep breath, and looked ahead with a stagnant gaze.
At the center of the battle, only Yin Li and Xu Daoyan remained.
Snow flew around Yin Li, two Ice and Snow Giant Snakes connected head to tail, forming a yin-yang circle, guarding all sides. Any raging Qi Force that approached was instantly frozen and shattered!
Flame light surged from Xu Daoyan, surrounded by a vast Essence Energy Flames, the domineering momentum slightly distorted the space, any Qi Force that approached was instantly incinerated, unable to take shape!
At this moment, Xu Daoyan’s slightly upturned eyelids finally lowered, looking at Yin Li, his eyes flickered, a faint smile appeared on his face again:
“Yin Li, I didn’t expect you to also start comprehending the True Man Path, truly commendable. With the talents of you and me, if we work together to obtain the Blood Evil Essence Crystal, exchange cultivation insights, and comprehend True Intent together, breaking through the True Man Path would be just around the corner, wouldn’t it be free to roam the world of cultivation then?”
His eyes glanced at Luo Cheng for a moment, then Xu Daoyan continued:
“As for that boy, he offended my dignity and deserved to die a thousand deaths. However, such an ant-like character is not worth making us unhappy. For your sake, I can consider sparing him this time. But I want to know, why did you save him?”
Xu Daoyan did not want to fall out with Yin Li, so he took a rare step back and restrained his sharpness.
Yin Li’s expression remained cold, shaking her head lightly: “Xu Daoyan, we’ve only met a few times and coincidentally completed one mission together, not close enough to exchange cultivation insights or comprehend the Dao together. As for Luo Cheng, I have no explanation, nor do I need to explain to you.”
“Do you really want to do this?”
Xu Daoyan’s chest heaved slightly, the Essence Energy Flames on his body grew more intense, his aura rising continuously. He believed he had given Yin Li enough face, yet was surprised by her lack of respect, and a flood of anger roared in his chest.
“If you want to harm him, you harm me too.”
Yin Li looked directly at Xu Daoyan, softly uttering a few words.
Crack! Crack…
Their auras clashed fiercely, ice and fire collided, forming a vast and terrifying zone. The space within it trembled slightly, the air twisted slightly, and everyone felt a suffocating sense of an impending storm!
“What a terrifying oppressive feeling! Sure enough, these two have long surpassed the level of ordinary Heavenly-level Great Power.”
From a distance, Eldest Prince Jin Tiandu was unaware of the conversation between Yin Li and Xu Daoyan, but the ever-stronger waves of momentum made his heart tremble with unease.
Liu Qingyu retreated to the side of the two and looked at Yin Li with some surprise:
“It’s no surprise that Xu Daoyan has reached such a Realm, but I didn’t expect Yin Li to be so powerful, there wasn’t even a hint of this before.”
Jin Tiandu said: “She probably had some fortuitous encounter recently.”
Liu Qingyu nodded, thought of something, and asked: “Junior Brother, how do you know Yin Li? As far as I know, she has always been reclusive in the Luoxia Sect and rarely interacts with others, yet she would save you, even at the risk of opposing Xu Daoyan…”
Liu Qingyu looked at Luo Cheng curiously.
Jin Tiandu also glanced over.
Yin Li is a renowned member of the Luoxia Sect’s Ten Great True Inheritance, a top-tier Heavenly-level Great Power.
Although Luo Cheng has recently risen to fame as a figure of intrigue, it’s mainly because of his rapid ascent after awakening the Wasted Martial Soul. In the end, he’s just an Inner Sect Disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect, an Awakening Vein Realm expert.
Their identities and strength are worlds apart, they shouldn’t have any intersection.
Luo Cheng did not speak, he stared at the pitch-black chasm that split the city wall, his gaze growing solemn, and said:
“Very strange! Senior Sister, look there!”
Liu Qingyu and Jin Tiandu both looked and their expressions changed instantly.
Deep within that pitch-black chasm leading straight to the city, there was a faint blood-colored light flickering, flowing slowly like water, chaotic and dark within it!
“What is this? Could it be the Underground Spirit Spring of Yunquan City?” Liu Qingyu frowned slightly.
Jin Tiandu shook his head: “The Underground Spirit Spring is milky white, never has it been seen to be blood-colored. Moreover, the aura feels a bit eerie…”
Buzz!
While the two were talking, Luo Cheng quietly released his Soul Power.
The powerful Soul Power instantly radiated toward the depths of the fissure, then he felt an intensely strong bloodthirsty Evil Qi!
This Evil Qi was extremely domineering, wanting to devour and contaminate his Soul Power, even giving Luo Cheng a momentary bloodthirsty impulse.
Fortunately, Luo Cheng’s Soul Power is extraordinary, coupled with his mind tempered by Sword Intent, easily suppressed this bloodthirsty impulse, maintaining mental clarity!
“Such fierce bloodthirsty Evil Qi!”
Retracting his Soul Power, Luo Cheng was incredibly shocked.
If not for his exceptional Soul Power Will, he might have become immersed in this bloodthirsty desire, turning into a demon solely focused on slaughter!
“Oh, it’s starting to change! It’s Blood Evil Qi!”
At this time, Liu Qingyu suddenly exclaimed.
Seemingly affected by the intrusion of Luo Cheng’s Soul Power, the blood light in the underground fissure grew more intense, began to stir restlessly, swirling and surging, even starting to leak to the surface, casting a blood-red light over the space in the fissure, filling it with an oppressive aura, causing inexplicable fear.
“Blood Evil Qi! There shouldn’t be Blood Evil Qi under Yunquan City…”
Jin Tiandu also looked puzzled, suddenly he thought of something, and exclaimed: “Could it be…”
“Blood Demon!”
Luo Cheng’s heart skipped a beat.
Not just them, Princess Yaoguang, and these Heavenly-level Great Powers, all incredibly sensitive to Heaven and Earth Essence Energy, immediately noticed the anomaly underground, their gazes all focused on the depths of the earth, falling on the increasingly vivid blood light.
“No great battle occurred here, there shouldn’t be such intense bloodthirsty qi…”
Princess Yaoguang stared at the underground space, thunder flashed on the surface of her pupils.
A nearby Extreme Dao Sect disciple pondered: “Such evil aura! According to Jin Tiandu, that Blood Demon was hidden within a thousand miles of this area, could it be the Blood Demon?”
Another Extreme Dao Sect disciple’s eyes lit up, laughing: “We’ve been searching high and low only to find it all comes effortlessly, unexpectedly, the Blood Demon we’ve been seeking is hidden right beneath Yunquan City!”
Princess Yaoguang raised her brows, “Let’s go down and see for ourselves!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three executed their movement techniques, moving like lightning, rapidly heading towards the chasm below.
