Chapter 169 - 198: Blood Slave Island, Female Sword Immortal, One Punch, Shattering Mountains and Seas
High above the clouds.
After capturing the Demon Dragon, Su Bai squeezed his right hand slightly.
The Demon Dragon only had time to let out a whimper.
Then it fell completely silent.
A ball of scorching flame then emerged from Su Bai’s fingertips, incinerating the Demon Dragon’s body.
Soon, a rich aroma wafted through the air.
"AWOOO~"
The enticing aroma made the Black Demon Dragon beneath Su Bai sniff the air and let out a few excited howls.
Its dragon tail wagged nonstop!
"Don’t be hasty. Just a little longer!"
Su Bai patted its black dragon head and chuckled.
Su Bai had brought Hei Wushuang along for this trip to the Outer Realm, to the Canghai Sect, one of the Five Demonic Sects.
「A moment later.」
After finding a secluded island and feasting with Hei Wushuang, Su Bai continued on his journey.
The Canghai Sect was located in the center of the North Sea.
The closer they got to the center of the North Sea, the larger and more turbulent the waves became.
Powerful Demon Qi and Demonic Qi also became commonplace.
Su Bai finally passed through layers of dark clouds and arrived at the center of the North Sea.
Countless islands were scattered here, each protected by ancient Arrays. These formed towering silver barriers, shielding the islands from the crashing waves and defending against invasions from powerful Demon Fiends.
Viewed from high above, the archipelago looked like a cluster of stars adorning the sea, dazzling and brilliant.
’These must be the Canghai Sect’s subsidiary islands. According to the memories I absorbed, only the most talented youths from these islands have a chance to join the Canghai Sect.’
Su Bai slowly levitated off Hei Wushuang’s draconic body. He swept his gaze across the archipelago, his expression shifting slightly.
A breath later, Su Bai noticed several peculiar islands.
These islands were pitch-black, as if forged from a special metal, making it impossible to see what was inside with the naked eye.
Faintly, he thought he could hear roars and snarls coming from within the islands.
Like bloodthirsty beasts!
If one listened closely, one could even hear the crisp sound of chewing, a sound that would make one’s blood run cold.
Above the islands, profound Demonic Qi swirled, and Evil Qi surged. Faint flashes of blood-red lightning appeared, making the scene exceptionally horrifying!
’These must be the Canghai Sect’s Blood Slave Islands!’
Having seen the memories of a Canghai Sect Inner Sect Elder, Su Bai naturally knew some of their secrets.
What were blood slaves?
Those who nourished the sect with their own blood were blood slaves.
To put it bluntly, the inhabitants of these islands were "bait" used by the Canghai Sect’s upper echelons to lure and raise powerful Demon Fiends!
And what happened when the people were all used up?
The Canghai Sect’s answer was to capture more.
They constantly captured large numbers of mortals from the surrounding territories to replenish the insufficient supply of bait.
In a sense, the residents of the black islands lived in a Purgatory on earth, a fate worse than death.
Seeing such dense Demon and Demon Evil Qi in the sky, Hei Wushuang’s eyes widened. It immediately nudged Su Bai with its large head.
It looked at him with a pitiful expression.
Su Bai knew what Hei Wushuang was thinking.
Such dense Demon and Demon Evil Qi was a great supplement for it.
But Hei Wushuang’s Cultivation was still too low. It couldn’t devour such dense Demon Evil Qi, or its foundation would be damaged.
SWOOSH!
After reassuring Hei Wushuang, Su Bai lightly tapped his finger toward the sky. In an instant, all the accumulated Demonic Qi and Evil Qi were drawn out by him.
It formed a long, black rainbow that continuously converged on Su Bai’s fingertip.
The Demon Evil Qi in the sky thinned out at a visible rate.
"Alright, go on!"
Once it was diluted enough, Su Bai patted its dragon head and chuckled.
"AWOOO!!"
Hei Wushuang immediately let out an excited howl.
Upon entering the "nest" swirling with Demon Evil Qi, it immediately became as happy as a fish in water, frolicking about.
Seeing that there were no issues, Su Bai lowered his gaze again, standing high in the sky and surveying the archipelago.
’Are they repairing the Array?’
At the same time, Su Bai spread his Divine Thoughts and discovered several sneaky figures on the largest black island. They were grinding some Array Materials into powder to reinforce the Array on the island.
Before Su Bai could make a move...
...a sound like a dragon’s roar and a sword’s cry suddenly rang out between heaven and earth!
Then, a stunning beam of sword light, accompanied by a cold voice, descended from the sky.
"Lingxiao Sword!"
The sword light slashed across the sky, directly cutting the few Canghai Sect disciples who were setting up the Array in half!
Even their Divine Spirits couldn’t escape and were shredded by the sword light.
A figure appeared in Su Bai’s field of vision.
It was a young woman in robes whiter than snow.
She had willow-like eyebrows, almond eyes, a fair face, and was exceptionally beautiful, holding a water-blue Three-Foot-Long Sword.
Her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall.
She trod on slivers of shattered light as she slowly approached.
At first glance, one might mistake her for a celestial maiden who had descended to the mortal realm.
Su Bai gave her a casual glance.
’Fifth Level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.’
The moment this woman appeared, she was shrouded in a thick killing intent, absolutely murderous!
The remaining Canghai Sect disciple, who had luckily escaped the attack, immediately showed a look of utter terror.
He raised his blood-stained head and shrieked, "Celestial Sword Saintess of the Celestial Sword Sect! You dare come to my Canghai Sect and run wild all by yourself!?"
"You’ll die a horrible death!"
Before he could finish speaking, the man executed a Demon Sect Secret Technique, transforming into a black streak of light to make a swift escape!
But the woman, her face expressionless, simply said, "Noisy!"
With a single swing of her sword, she cleanly cut down the Canghai Sect disciple who was using the Secret Technique to flee!
Within a few breaths, the woman had slaughtered all the Canghai Sect disciples who were reinforcing the Array!
BOOM!!
Next, the white-robed woman rapidly swung her Three-Foot-Long Sword, continuously slashing countless fine, silver Sword Auras at the Sealing Array on the island!
In an instant, the overwhelming Sword Auras converged like rivers and seas, forming a violent, silver beast that slammed into the Sealing Array.
CRACK!
An ear-piercing sound vibrated in all directions as the already weakened Sealing Array immediately developed fine cracks!
And the cracks began to spread faster and faster!
BOOM!
Three breaths later, the Array was completely torn apart, crumbling into black dust and revealing the island’s landscape—a blood-soaked scene littered with corpses.
At that moment, on the island, several hideous Evil Beasts and Great Demons could be seen chewing on the gaunt skin and bones of humans. The scene was jarring to behold!
Meanwhile, the ordinary people who had finally seen the light of day again, having stubbornly survived until now, knelt on the ground. They stared up at the blazing sun in the sky, their bloodshot eyes trembling in shock.
It felt like they were in a dream...
"Die!"
Seeing this, the white-robed woman was overcome with rage. She swiftly unleashed streams of Sword Aura, targeting the Evil Beasts and Great Demons still devouring human bones.
She slaughtered them mercilessly!
Just as she was about to continue hunting the Demon Beasts, she suddenly seemed to sense something, and her expression changed in alarm!
In just one or two breaths, a thick cloud of ghastly energy came rumbling over from the distance.
From within the ghastly cloud came an old voice, filled with fury!
"Junior from the Celestial Sword Sect! Do you really think my Canghai Sect has no one to answer to!?"
’Oh no! It’s a Divine Platform Realm Elder from the Canghai Sect!’
The white-robed woman’s heart sank. She immediately transformed into a streak of silvery-white sword light, intending to flee.
"The Canghai Sect is not a place you can come and go as you please!"
"Stay!"
As he spoke, a black claw emerged from the ghastly cloud, crimson flames swirling between its bony fingers.
The Evil Qi was heaven-shaking!
’Damn it!’
The white-robed woman cursed inwardly, knowing there was no escape!
She halted, gripped her longsword, and prepared to resist with all her might.
RUMBLE—
Suddenly, a blinding golden light descended from the sky, completely overwhelming her vision.
It seemed to block out the sky and sun!
The next moment, she heard a bloodcurdling scream ring out!
It vanished in an instant.
Curious, she strained to open her eyes and look into the distance.
The dense golden light slowly dissipated...
There was no longer any trace of the ghastly cloud in the sky.
Stunned, the white-robed woman couldn’t help but follow the direction where the golden light had faded and look down.
In that instant, her pupils constricted!
A brilliant golden Fist Seal stretched for a thousand li, vaporizing countless tons of seawater and branding itself onto the center of the North Sea like a permanent scar.
Her chest heaved violently as she stared in absolute horror.
She saw...
Where the five fingers had fallen, five towering peaks had formed. All Demon Evil Qi had dispersed, and the seawater could not encroach!
In her daze...
...she could almost picture it.
An Immortal God residing in the heavens, reaching out with their right hand, parting the clouds, and letting their five fingers descend.
One punch, shattering mountains and seas!
