Seeing Su Huayu again (part two)

The fighting was fierce, with a hundred or so Cultivator coming and going in turns. Coupled with the narrow cave passage, it was truly a brutal battle.

The roars, the sound of Sword Qi cutting through the air, and the screams of those dying were truly like Asura Purgatory. In this Asura Path, influenced by the Asura Path Will, everyone's aggressiveness is very strong.

In the midst of the battle, the number of these Cultivator dwindled, their eyes glowing faintly red. They were truly bloodthirsty, forgetting even why they had attacked in the first place, knowing only to slaughter and kill everyone in front of them.

Call...

However, when these Cultivators had suffered heavy casualties, with only about twenty people left still capable of fighting, suddenly, a terrifying Blade Qi swept across.

The domineering Blade Qi, carrying the power to cut through everything, even these bloodthirsty people instinctively felt a threat to their lives.

Zhuge Xiang wielded the Azure Nether Blade, unleashing a Blade Qi that slashed straight ahead. Dozens of Cultivator hurriedly retreated to the side, clearing a path. Everything that stood in the way of the Blade Qi was cut down, whether it was corpses, Magic Artifact, or stones.

At first glance, it seemed as if the entire battle situation had been cleaved in two by Zhuge Xiang's single strike.

Stunned by Zhuge Xiang's Blade Qi, these people regained their senses and turned around in shock. They saw that Zhuge Xiang and the other three, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, had stood up straight. Zhuge Xiang had sheathed his Azure Nether Blade, his face cold.

"Alright, get out of here. We need to clear the area before you come in. You have ten seconds."

Domineering, Zhang Kuang, and unruly. Zhuge Xiang looked at the remaining dozens of talented young men and spoke. His tone left no room for discussion; he simply announced it.

"You're too domineering!" Some Cultivator, clearly still caught up in the fighting spirit, retorted as Zhuge Xiang finished speaking.

The Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering!

There was no answer. But his Zhang Kuang actions represented his response. He leaped high into the air, unleashing his Asura True Body, and swung the Blood Python Spear down with overwhelming force, as powerful as Mount Tai Crushes Down.

The Cultivator dared to retort was utterly powerless; Zhang Kuang smashed his head open with a single spear thrust. His headless corpse lay on the ground, twitching a few times before becoming still.

"Time is running out..." Zhuge Xiang said calmly, without even glancing at the dead Cultivator.

Zhang Kuang, wielding the Blood Python Spear, in his Asura True Body, he resembled Asura, his eyes filled with primal killing intent as he stared at the other Cultivator with a fierce gaze, like an ancient Fierce Beast.

Yin Wugu nor Lin Haiyan spoke, but both held their weapons in their hands, their occasional glances at the crowd as cold as frost.

"I, let's go..." The remaining Cultivator, having learned from the previous experience, dared not shout anymore. Besides, with the Black-and-White Armbands in hand, they had no intention of fighting to the death if they could get through this ordeal.

A chain reaction ensued; once the first person retreated, a second naturally followed. Soon, overwhelmed by the strength of Zhuge Xiang and his group, these people scattered like birds and beasts, quickly departing.

"With perfect balance, Brother Zhuge, Dragon Among Men," Yin Wugu Zhuge Xiang exclaimed, watching the Cultivator flee in panic.

I had already witnessed Zhuge Xiang's strength at the previous Sword Peak Gathering, and today Yin Wugu truly experienced his wisdom.

"Not bad, Junior Brother Zhuge, you are both brave and resourceful," Lin Haiyan said, a hint of admiration on her face.

The Asura Sect is a demonic Sect that prioritizes combat. Most of its disciples pursue absolute strength, but those who are both brave and resourceful like Zhuge Xiang are extremely rare.

With a few ounces of force, Zhuge Xiang effortlessly overcame the overwhelming force of the enemy. With a hundred or so Cultivator following him, Lin Haiyan and the others had no suitable solution and a fierce battle was inevitable. But what did Zhuge Xiang do? He simply sat down to rest for a moment and effortlessly overcame the overwhelming force, subduing the enemy without a fight and making those Cultivator retreat in the face of difficulties.

"Alright, you lot, stop praising me. Let's go inside and take a look," Zhuge Xiang waved his hand, clearly unconcerned about such empty praise.

The four of them roused themselves and ventured deeper into the cave passage. After this brief rest, they had indeed recovered much of the energy they had expended in attacking the Demonized Asura.

Continuing diagonally downwards, after walking for about several hundred meters, they could see the end of the passage with light. When Zhuge Xiang and the others reached the end of the cave passage, the view suddenly opened up.

At the end of the passage was a cave with a huge Palace layout, about ten zhang in circumference. In the very center of this Palace was a Blood Pool, which occupied almost a third of the Palace's area. The extremely strong smell of blood emanated from this Blood Pool.

In the Blood Pool, the ugly Asura and the handsome and eerie Rakshasa were all immersed in the Blood Pool, struggling wildly. However, these Asura and Rakshasa were bound by thick and long iron chains, on which Profound Mysteries Runes were engraved. No matter how they struggled, they could not break free of the iron chains.

In the very center of the Blood Pool stood a thick pillar, so thick that it would take seven or eight people to encircle it. At the top of the pillar knelt a person with disheveled hair and tattered clothes, but with fair skin and a graceful figure, she was probably a young woman. However, her head was lowered and her hair was down, making it impossible to see her face.

The woman knelt atop a stone pillar, nine thick Steel Needles piercing her back. Drops of blood flowed down the pillar and into Blood Pool...

"Could it be that this Blood Pool is stained with this woman's blood?" Even Lin Haiyan couldn't hide her shock at the sight of the Palace -style cave.

"I finally know where that Asura came from," Yin Wugu said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the Asura and Rakshasa, who were bound by Chains and struggling wildly in the Blood Pool.

Zhuge Xiang glanced over and, sure enough, the information from the Data Eye showed that these Asura and Rakshasa were in a state of Demonization. The blood in this Blood Pool could actually Demonization the creatures of the Asura Path.

Zhuge Xiang and his companions exchanged bewildered glances, their gazes finally settling on the woman atop the stone pillar. Who was she? What was she really? And why was she in this Asura Purgatory Diagram?

Moreover, her blood could actually cause even the monsters of the Asura Path to Demonization?

The Asura Path is one of the Three Realms and Six Paths. Male Asura are warlike, bloodthirsty, and extremely ugly, but female Rakshasa are beautiful and enchanting.

However, whether they are Asura or Rakshasa, although they are warlike and bloodthirsty, they possess independent consciousness and intelligence, and their intelligence is not much different from that of ordinary humans.

However, looking at the Asura and Rakshasa soaking in the Blood Pool, their mouths were roaring unconsciously, struggling wildly, and their eyes were full of negative emotions, without a trace of clarity. Like wild beasts, Asura Demonization state had clearly caused them to lose their own consciousness, turning them Rakshasa Fierce Beast that only knew how to fight.

Kneeling atop the stone pillar, the woman's head was bowed, but she was breathing and clearly still alive. After a moment's hesitation, Lin Haiyan spoke, asking the woman kneeling atop the pillar, "Excuse me, young lady, who are you? Why are you here?"

"You shouldn't have come, leave now," a weak voice, as if she hadn't rested for three days and three nights, softly rang out.

The Blood Pool was filled with struggling and roaring Asura. The sounds of the water rippling, the roars, and the rattling of the Chains were barely audible unless Zhuge Xiang and the others listened carefully.

"That voice sounds familiar," Zhuge Xiang, raising an eyebrow slightly as he heard the woman's voice from the top of the stone pillar. He felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"We've come here..."

Hearing the woman's reply, Lin Haiyan continued, but before she could finish speaking, a soft laugh echoed through the passage. "I never expected to find Demonic Blood hidden here. It's truly heaven's help! With this Demonic Blood, perhaps I can possess the bloodline of Demonic True Body."

The sudden sound behind them made Zhuge Xiang and his companions turn their heads. They saw five figures walking out of the passage. It was as if no one had noticed them when they spoke. Undeniably, they were all experts.

A man, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, was dressed in a blue robe. He was tall and slender, like a drawn sword, exuding Sword Qi.

A monk, also around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, slightly overweight, always wore a faint smile on his face, like Smiling Maitreya.

Zhuge Xiang didn't recognize either of them, but the information from his Data Eye was quite complex. The man was named Chen Wuming, with a cultivation level of the Divine Ability Realm Third Layer, while the monk was named Jie Se, with a cultivation level of the Divine Ability Stage Second Layer.

Apart from the two strangers, the other three were acquaintances.

Meteor Blade Huo Siling, and Tian Lingshan of the Tiandao Sect, and finally, a masked man whose face was obscured and whose breathing was soft, but Zhuge Xiang would never forget him, Ying Poison Person Ying Wulin of the Five Poisons Sect. Back in the Ancient Qin Battlefield, the Poison Emperor was brought there by him and Tong Dalong of the Mechanism Gate.

Of the five people, four were at the Deity Transformation stage, but the one who spoke was Meteor Blade Huo Siling, whose eyes were filled with greed as he looked at the Blood Pool.

"Tian Lingshan from the Tiandao Sect, Jie Se from the Weituo Temple, Chen Wuming from the Qingxu Sword Sect, Poison Person Ying Wulin from the Five Poisons Sect, and finally, Meteor Blade Huo Siling. This lineup is truly not to be underestimated..." Zhuge Xiang said with a light laugh as he looked at the five people in front of him. Despite the tense situation, his voice was light and frivolous, as if he were greeting an old friend.

The Dragon Phoenix Ranking the experts that Zhuge Xiang is interested in, but it doesn't include anyone from the Medium Sect like the Qingxu Sword Sect, the Five Poisons Sect, or the Weituo Temple. Zhuge Xiang was initially puzzled, but it turns out they've been hiding in the shadows all along.

In this Palace- style cave, Zhuge Xiang spoke for the first time. His words caused the woman who had been bowing her head on the stone pillar to suddenly raise her head. Her blood-red eyes, visible through her flowing black hair, were fixed on Zhuge Xiang. Her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "Is it... Zhuge Xiang...?"

He already felt the woman's voice sounded somewhat familiar, and upon hearing her call his name, a flash of inspiration struck Zhuge Xiang. His pupils contracted slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You are... Su Huayu!?" (To be continued...)
