Chapter 469 - 631 : Xue Lingshang’s fingertips
Xue Lingshang shouted coldly, and blood light surged at his fingertips.
The seven blood corpses immediately roared and pounced toward one Seven Stars chain each. The leading blood corpse swept its bone blade horizontally, slashing toward the foremost chain with a sharp whistle that tore through the wind.
With a crisp clang!
The bone blade collided with the chain, and sparks scattered. The runes on the chain suddenly shone like stars, actually knocking the blood corpse half a step back. Wisps of white smoke rose from the surface of its corpse body.
One chain struck the shoulder of a clawed blood corpse, tearing half its rotten flesh apart and exposing its white shoulder blade.
But that blood corpse felt no pain. Instead, using the force of the chain’s strike, it bit onto the chain body, blood fiend energy madly corroding it between its teeth.
Xue Lingshang stood in the distance and coldly watched the blood corpses entangle with the chains. The corners of his mouth lifted in a sinister smile.
All seven blood corpses had been refined by him using the bodies of late Foundation Establishment cultivators as materials through a Blood Demon Dao secret method. Each one could battle a Foundation Establishment completion cultivator.
He suddenly formed seals with both hands and said coldly to Wentian, "You are not the only one who knows formations!"
"Seven Corpses Blood Fiend Formation, rise!"
The seven blood corpses abruptly formed a formation. Their qi mechanisms connected, and seven enormous streams of blood fiend qi shot into the sky, as if they wanted to break through the Seven Stars Demon-Sealing Formation.
"Gathering starlight, Northern Dipper Seven Stars, suppress!"
The sky gradually darkened, and stars faintly appeared.
Wentian borrowed the light of the stars, strengthening the grand formation’s power and firmly suppressing the Seven Corpses Blood Fiend Formation.
But this way, it could no longer attack Xue Lingshang.
"Without the Seven Stars Demon-Sealing Formation, do you think this seat cannot deal with you, a Golden Core cultivator who has not even refined a magic treasure?"
"You also only just entered third rank. We are the same as each other." Xue Lingshang laughed coldly. "You demonic beasts are strong in bloodline, power, and defense.
"But we cultivators excel at creation and strategy."
"Moyue, do you feel that something is wrong with your body?"
"Do you think the surrounding blood mist is merely decoration?
"I have long since considered how to deal with you third-rank demonic beasts. After all, if I want to leave this cage, you are an obstacle I must cross!
"The toxin contained within the blood mist was specially prepared for demonic beasts. Even mid third-rank demonic beasts will gradually become tired and powerless.
"I have to say, the flood dragon bloodline is indeed powerful.
"You can actually persist for so long. That is enough to rival ordinary mid third-rank demonic beasts.
"But there should be some reaction by now, yes?"
Moyue blinked twice and thought inwardly: But this old man has peak third-rank bloodline!
What reaction do you want? I’d rather give you a hammer!
Wentian contacted him mentally. "Moyue, it is time to display your exquisite acting skills."
Moyue rolled his eyes, then flew into a rage. "So you were behind this!"
"Naturally. From the moment you appeared, I added a certain toxin targeted at demonic beasts to the blood mist. Even if I could not escape immediately, I could still leave a backup plan."
"Sinister, cunning human!"
"Watch this seat tear you apart!"
Moyue roared. His enormous body rushed forward like lightning, blue light covering his dragon claws as he clawed fiercely toward Xue Lingshang.
Xue Lingshang raised his hand and condensed a giant blood-colored palm, sending it forward to meet him.
If this had been before, the blood-colored giant palm would definitely have been torn apart. But now, the blue light was corroded by blood light. The palm imprint knocked aside the dragon claw and fiercely struck Moyue’s body, sending him flying.
"It really has taken effect."
Xue Lingshang’s heart calmed slightly. Then delight appeared on his face, and he said, "If I can smelt your flood dragon essence blood, the power of my Blood Demon Dao cultivation art will advance another level.
"I will be able to easily manifest blood-colored flood dragons, possessing the essence of a true flood dragon and part of its combat strength."
"This seat’s power!"
"No!"
"Die!"
Moyue charged forward again, but once more, he was easily struck flying by Xue Lingshang, even coughing blood violently.
"Truly unable to learn your lesson. But this ancestor will have plenty of time to deal with a beast like you later. Now, I will first deal with you, Wentian.
"Without your control, the grand formation will collapse on its own!"
"Moyue!"
Moyue rushed over again and was again easily knocked away.
"You are too dangerous. If you do not die, my heart cannot rest!"
"Kill me? You do not want to know my Jianyi family’s secrets?" Wentian continuously retreated.
"For intelligent people like you and me, to prevent key secrets from leaking, we would certainly place restrictions inside the souls of those who know them. As long as they are investigated, they will self-destruct.
"Therefore, this ancestor gives up.
"As long as I slaughter your entire Jianyi family and dig three chi into the ground, I will always be able to find your Jianyi family’s secrets and the treasure vault containing the Jianyi family’s foundation."
Before his voice fell,
Xue Lingshang’s figure was like a bolt of blood-colored lightning. In the blink of an eye, he arrived before Wentian and reached out toward his heart.
At this very moment, the corners of Wentian’s mouth hooked into a smile.
At some unknown point, a branch had appeared in his hand, and he gently waved it at Xue Lingshang.
It was an ordinary branch, with emerald light flowing over it.
But in the next instant, it erupted with a world-shaking aura that made one’s heart tremble. In an instant, Xue Lingshang sensed the danger of death.
He did not even have time to dodge and could only erupt with all his magic power to resist.
