Traffic Accident (Continued)

"Alright, bring all those beasts up here."

Thirty cattle, sheep, and pigs, which had been prepared beforehand, were led into the magic array. Si Ming asked, "The next step is to kill all these animals, right? Do you need my help?"

"Need not."

Wu Xiu waved her hand, rolled up her sleeve, and steel wires flew out, wrapping around the necks of thirty livestock. Then she pulled, and with a "plop," all thirty heads fell off, blood spurting from the cut surfaces. The headless corpses stood there for a moment, as if belatedly realizing they were dead, before collapsing with a thud.

This scene was truly bloody, enough to be censored in a movie. Fortunately, there were no cowards present. Even the youngest, Murong Wu, was only startled and did not scream. Most of the girls just frowned and were not frightened at all. Si Jingyu even smiled and exclaimed, "What a beautiful sight!" This startled Chen Shimi and Nie Wanzhi, who were standing nearby, and they quickly put their distance away.

"Brother Si Ming, may I ask what this girl does?"

Hao Shuai gasped and subconsciously touched his neck.

Seeing that the woman was showing signs of ovulation retraction, Si Ming quickly said, "Doctor, you probably have a lot of surgical experience and have seen many life-and-death situations, so your reaction to these kinds of things is different from that of a young girl. You don't react with surprise or shock. You look very young, but you have a very mature mindset. Don't you think there's a kind of beauty in that contrast?"

"It's less a contrast and more a horror story..."

"Men should dare to take on challenges. A beautiful woman with personality is a true work of art with a soul. Otherwise, she's just a pretty face, at best a vase—beautiful to look at, but empty and devoid of substance. Do you like this kind of vase-like beauty?"

"Uh, actually, as long as she's beautiful, that's fine with me. I'm not picky..."

"Since you're not picky about food, why not give it a try? Giving up before even trying isn't the behavior of a romantic and talented man. Besides, you can't judge a person's character based on just the first impression. Perhaps after getting to know her better, you'll find that her personality, hobbies, and other qualities are exactly what you're looking for. Maybe she's your destined lover. Are you really going to let a mere first impression cause you to miss out on her?"

"Is it just my imagination? Brother Si Ming seems unusually proactive today," Hao Shuai wondered.

Si Ming sensed something was wrong. It seemed he had been too obvious in his encouragement, leading to suspicion of ulterior motives. However, he was a master of deception, so he remained unfazed and continued, "You've already said I'm your real older brother, so of course I have to take care of you. Otherwise, how could I live up to your title? Judging by appearances is the most superficial thing to do. For example, Hao Shuai, your first impression is that you're a womanizer, irresponsible, frivolous, and cowardly. But are you really like that?"

"Of course not!" Hao Shuai was immediately encouraged. "You're right. Judging by appearances is the most superficial thing to do. First impressions are unreliable. You shouldn't jump to conclusions without getting to know someone better. Si Ming, thank you for enlightening me. You are truly my mentor and close friend!"

As the two were speaking, the formation on the ground absorbed the blood of the livestock and was fully activated, emitting a red light. It opened a spacetime rift in mid-air, and at the same time, the corpses were decomposed and flew into the rift to form a flesh and blood tunnel, thus avoiding being affected by the spacetime turbulence.

Wu Xiu urged everyone, "Alright, don't waste any more time. This is a simplified formation that can only last for thirty seconds. If you don't get through within thirty seconds, the entrance will be sealed off. Everyone, hurry up and set off." After saying that, she was the first to jump in.

One by one, everyone followed. The flesh tunnel was sticky and vibrated at a certain frequency, making it feel like it was alive, as if they were inside the belly of some monster. It was both disgusting and terrifying, so no one wasted time and quickly moved forward with their luggage.

They had been traveling smoothly until the exit was in sight, but then they all stopped in their tracks, because several forks appeared ahead, leading in different directions.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? Spatial teleportation is always a point-to-point, one-line connection. I've never heard of different options. Did you not enter the beacon I gave you, senior?" Si Ming asked Wu Xiu.

"Nonsense, of course I entered it. How could I not know that basic common sense? Isn't this just a small error in the calculation? It's probably because I used 3.14159265 for pi. Tsk, I even used eight decimal places, why is there still such a big error?"

"Isn't this just common sense? A small error can lead to a huge mistake. The slightest error in spatial beacons could translate to tens of thousands of miles of deviation in real-world distance. So which one is the correct exit?"

"Shut up, can't you see I'm doing calculations?"

Wu Xiu used her True Qi to condense numbers in the air and continuously calculated with her fingers.

The so-called "Spirit Transformation" is the process of refining Spirit Transformation. A strong spirit can also enhance brainpower, and the computing power of Spirit Transformation" expert is comparable to that of an early personal computer.

However, before she could calculate the result, the flesh tunnel began to shake violently, and cracks appeared one after another. The tunnel built with livestock was ultimately not as stable as the blood sacrifice of living people.

"No, if we wait any longer, we'll be buried here. It's too late to turn back now. Let's just choose a path and go all the way, and gamble on our luck. It's better than staying here."

With no other options at the moment, the group chose the leftmost path and ran as fast as they could.

In the dense forest, Feng Liancheng carried the injured Duan Jinsu and fled in panic.

"Disciple, put me down quickly. You can't escape if you carry me on your back," Duan Jinsu said in a weak voice.

"Master, didn't you teach me the importance of respecting teachers? If I leave you here, wouldn't that be going against your teachings?" Feng Liancheng naturally refused.

He glanced back and, seeing that the pursuers weren't coming, breathed a slight sigh of relief. He thought to himself that perhaps he could find a cave to hide in first, and then leave after he had evaded the search.

Suddenly, Duan Jinsu warned, "Be careful!"

Feng Liancheng instinctively dodged, and a flying sword narrowly missed his shoulder, slicing off a small piece of flesh.

"There's no need to argue anymore, you and your apprentice can both stay here!"

The flying sword spun in the air and landed in the hand of a red-clad man wearing a ghost mask. His cold gaze shot out from the eye holes of the mask, as if he were looking at two dead men.

With pursuers close behind and powerful enemies blocking his way from both sides, Feng Liancheng knew that time was precious. Without uttering any unnecessary words, he immediately circulated his inner energy, gathering the power of wind and thunder in his hands.

"Heaven and earth are boundless, wind and thunder obey their mandate!"

With a howling gale on his left and a surging thunderbolt on his right, he brought his hands together and pushed them forward, merging the gale and thunderbolt into one, transforming it into a small tornado that rushed horizontally, destroying all the surrounding vegetation. Lightning flashed in the storm, creating a powerful and terrifying spectacle that even ghosts and gods feared.

In terms of sheer power, Technique Method of the same level surpass martial arts. Feng Liancheng's full-force move was no less powerful than the ultimate move of Spirit Transformation expert.

However, the man in red let out a cold laugh, stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding, and quickly formed hand seals. A surge of evil power flowed from his body, and then he pressed down on the ground.

"Divine Evil Immortal Slaying!"

In an instant, a void power emanated from the red-clad man's palm, like a Taotie devours everything. Wherever it passed, the wind and thunder ceased, the rain stopped and the sky cleared. The mighty thunder tornado instantly collapsed, turning into the purest Spiritual Qi and dissipating into nothingness.

"Completely invalid? How is that possible!"

Feng Liancheng was shocked to see his ultimate move so thoroughly broken. In that moment of distraction, the man in red immediately closed in, striking him in the chest with a palm strike. The hidden force surged forth, injuring and sending Feng Liancheng flying, along with the Duan Jinsu he was carrying.

"Nothing is impossible. This Divine Evil Seal is specifically designed to deal with you magic practitioners."

Feng Liancheng clutched his chest, swaying as he stood up, and said, "Our sect has already issued a notice that evil arts must no longer be used to harm the innocent. You are openly violating the sect's rules, using innocent people to refine the Myriad Filth Tainted Blood. Aren't you afraid that the Upper Court will send executors to arrest you and subject you to torture?"

"Heh, the emperor is far away, how could the Upper Court possibly manage us? Besides, the Upper Court hasn't sent anyone to the Barbarian Continent in the past few years, clearly they've run into trouble and are too busy taking care of themselves to bother with our little corner."

The man in red sneered repeatedly, saying, "In the end, our sect was originally an evil sect, killing and arson at will. Now you want to reform and become righteous, promulgating all sorts of rules and regulations, saying this is forbidden and that is forbidden. It's laughable! You are the traitors, we are the inheritors of our sect's traditions!"
