Using a Person as Bait, Falling Together into the Blood Dragon Pool!

Watching Li Daochen run off into the distance again, Yang Yu hesitated.

Instinctively, Yang Yu sensed danger.

But.

If he didn't kill Li Daochen this time, there would be endless trouble later!

Besides, Li Daochen was weak right now. This was the best chance to kill him!

If we let him escape this time, he'll hide in the shadows and spy on us, and we'll never be able to eat or sleep in peace! Most importantly, he's fallen to the demonic path!

Those on the demonic path were ruthless and cruel, sinister and cunning!

Li Daochen, having fallen to the demonic path, was undoubtedly even more dangerous!

Yang Yu soon made his decision.

He must want to kill me. That's why he schemed to hold Fourth Sister back, then used his superior speed to keep me chasing him! In that case, I just have to wait for Fourth Sister to catch up. With her speed, she can definitely intercept Li Daochen!

Yang Yu was big and brawny, but he had a keen mind and saw through Li Daochen's plan in an instant.

And so.

Yang Yu turned the scheme against its maker and continued chasing Li Daochen down!

Three li away.

Li Daochen ambushed Yang Yu once again.

This time, however, Yang Yu was clearly on guard, and his injuries were not as severe as the first time.

Yang Yu tried to stop Li Daochen, but failed.

"Li Daochen, fight me fair and square if you've got the guts!" he bellowed in outrage, though his eyes remained perfectly calm deep down.

Li Daochen paused, but ignored him.

Yang Yu's physique was terrifying. If Li Daochen fought him head-on, even if he managed to kill him, he would inevitably suffer grievous injuries himself.

Li Daochen remembered that Yang Yu had cultivated a very ancient body-refining method. His physique would grow more and more monstrous, until he could even withstand a sacred physique with his mortal body.

Yang Yu... lived up to his name. His body was like a prison, holding great terror.

He still looked unseasoned now, but it was impossible to break through his defenses easily.

Though Li Daochen had slashed him twice, leaving him seemingly badly wounded, Li Daochen knew it was an illusion.

After that, the chase continued.

A little under half an incense stick later!

Slash!

Yang Yu took another slash.

Yang Yu's face was already dark, but now it was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He was truly furious, and somewhat anxious as well!

During the chase, Li Daochen had slashed him ten times, injuring him at the root.

But no matter how miserable he made himself look, or even when he pretended to give up the chase, he couldn't get Li Daochen to fight him openly.

"Li Daochen, are you a man or not?" Yang Yu growled, staring fixedly at Li Daochen in the distance.

Boom!

Yang Yu charged at him as before.

He thought Li Daochen would run again!

But.

To Yang Yu's surprise, Li Daochen didn't run this time. Instead, he charged straight at him.

Yang Yu was overjoyed, thinking Li Daochen had finally fallen for his trick.

But the next moment, after the two briefly clashed, Yang Yu could no longer feel happy.

Li Daochen's physical strength was weaker than his, and he had little Spiritual Qi left in his body, but with two Emperor Talismans and a tenth of the Holy Dragon Bone supporting him, Li Daochen definitely had the strength to fight him head-on.

Moreover, demonic combat techniques were powerful and bizarre. Though Yang Yu did not panic like Luo Cheng, he still felt enormous pressure.

"How do you know so many demonic combat techniques?" Yang Yu cried out.

Li Daochen said nothing, but demonic flames seemed to burn in his cold, fierce eyes.

He had fought Yang Yu quite a few times in his previous life, but he had been at a disadvantage every time. He had utterly disgraced the great villain.

But in this life.

He would teach him that for every foot the Dao rose, the devil rose ten!

"Die!" Li Daochen roared. His fighting spirit from both lives converged, making him as fierce as a God or Devil of battle.

"You think you can kill me? Dream on!" Yang Yu's eyes turned scarlet, his flesh took on a bronze hue, and his blood Qi burned. His defenses strengthened noticeably as he charged into Li Daochen like a wild beast.

In a head-on clash, Yang Yu would never back down. Besides, Li Daochen's cultivation had been crippled!

Bang!

The two collided and came to an abrupt halt, sending a wave of force surging through the surroundings.

"Die!" Yang Yu roared. He still had some strength left, just enough to deliver a fatal blow to Li Daochen.

But the next instant.

Boom!

The sinister air surrounding Li Daochen abruptly changed, becoming radiant and righteous!

Hum!

The Sun Emperor Talisman within Li Daochen blazed with light, and the Holy Dragon Bone greatly strengthened him as well.

Sacred Dragon Claw!

Golden light flared around Li Daochen's left hand, and dragon scales faintly emerged. His hand pierced Yang Yu's chest first.

Pfft!

Yang Yu vomited blood, his eyes filling with disbelief.

"The Holy Dragon Bone is still there? You cultivate both the righteous and demonic paths? You... how is that possible?!" Yang Yu cried out. Sensing grave danger, he tried to retreat.

But by that point, it was clearly too late.

Li Daochen pressed his advantage, striking furiously before driving his blade through Yang Yu's chest again.

Bang!

Yang Yu fell to the ground and began to weaken visibly.

Li Daochen panted heavily, having expended a tremendous amount of strength, but he didn't hesitate for an instant. He struck again, stabbing through Yang Yu's throat.

Gasp, gasp...

Yang Yu couldn't utter a word. He glared at Li Daochen, his eyes filled with unwillingness and regret, but even more so with worry.

Could his equally brilliant and gifted third brother, Yang Chen, deal with such a decisive and ruthless enemy...?

Li Daochen's expression was indifferent as he kicked the last breath out of Yang Yu. Then he pulled the storage ring from Yang Yu's hand, put his corpse away, and took out a stick of black incense.

It was Soul-Chasing Incense, a tracking method used by the Night Ruins.

"You're next, Yang Yue," Li Daochen said with a cold laugh, then sped off in another direction.

The Blood Dragon Pool had existed for a long time. It was said that a blood flood dragon had perished while transforming into a dragon, and its flesh and blood had not decayed, gradually forming the Blood Dragon Pool as it was today.

The closer one got to the Blood Dragon Pool, the more one could sense a faint draconic majesty. Ordinary spirit beasts simply didn't dare remain nearby.

Moreover, the water of the Blood Dragon Pool could corrode flesh, making it an extremely dangerous forbidden ground.

After shaking off the fire monkeys, Yang Yue followed the traces Yang Yu had left behind.

But halfway there, she noticed the Soul-Chasing Incense.

Yang Yue suspected nothing, assuming Yang Yu hadn't had time to leave marks.

Gradually, Yang Yue followed it to the vicinity of the Blood Dragon Pool.

"How did he end up here?" Yang Yue frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy.

But Yang Yu was ahead, chasing Li Daochen down, so she had no reason not to go.

Soon.

In front of the Blood Dragon Pool, where blood Qi rose into the air, Yang Yue saw Yang Yu.

He stood there like a statue, motionless.

"Second Brother!" Yang Yue walked over.

But when she saw Yang Yu from the front, her eyes instantly reddened.

"Second Brother!" Yang Yue cried out in anguish. Yang Yu's face was gray and lifeless; he had long since stopped breathing.

And just as Yang Yue's mind was in turmoil.

Slash!

Li Daochen appeared in an instant, slashing at Yang Yue's neck.

Though Yang Yue couldn't react in time, she sensed the danger and her body moved instinctively, allowing her to narrowly dodge Li Daochen's blade.

Even so, Li Daochen's blade still slashed her shoulder.

"You killed my second brother?" Yang Yue's eyes were crimson as she tried to strike back.

But a moment earlier, Li Daochen had already seized Yang Yue's arm and slammed her into the Blood Dragon Pool.

Li Daochen fell in as well.

"You're mad... glug, glug..." Yang Yue was horrified, but before she could finish speaking, the pool water flooded her mouth.

The Blood Dragon Pool could corrode even the flesh of Spirit Foundation Realm cultivators!

In an instant, Yang Yue felt pain as though her skin were being scorched by raging flames, and she couldn't help screaming.

But.

Li Daochen kept a death grip on Yang Yue as they sank toward the bottom of the pool.

His gaze was cold, and he remained utterly unmoved by the burning pain.

A remnant soul of a flood dragon is in the Blood Dragon Pool. In my previous life, it was the flood dragon's remnant soul trying to possess me that trapped me in the Blood Dragon Pool for a full ten years!

This time, Yang Yue, you can have a taste of the pain I felt back then!
