Spreading the Faith Among Mortals (Part Two)
A blood-red, malevolent power emanated from Su Huayu's body. The terrifying power caused Yin Wugu and the others fighting nearby to stop their battle and stare at Su Huayu in horror.
Judging from her figure, Su Huayu was no more than a young girl, but the power she was unleashing now made everyone present feel a deep sense of powerlessness. No matter who it was, they all felt the terrifying power emanating from Su Huayu from the bottom of their hearts.
"Su Huayu, level???"
The information relayed by the Data Eye shocked Zhuge Xiang. Its strength had been steadily increasing, and now it was even beyond his detection range?
Keep in mind, even Two-Star Hairy Zombie equivalent to the Spell Control Stage can be detected by the Data Eye. Could it be that Su Huayu's strength has actually surpassed the Spell Control Stage?
The violent and evil power finally subsided on Su Huayu's body, and the energy storm that had been raging also gradually calmed down. Everyone present looked at each other, and no one dared to make any move at this moment.
The aura emanating from Su Huayu made them feel like mice facing a cat, as if any slight movement from them would result in Su Huayu's merciless annihilation.
"I'm sorry, if I startled you just now, I apologize..." However, at this moment, Su Huayu suddenly raised her head, a calm and faint smile on her face, and said to everyone present.
At this moment, Su Huayu's appearance had changed drastically. Her jet-black hair had turned completely blood-red, as if it could drip blood. Her pair of Scarlet eyes were filled with calmness and indifference. Her gaze was condescending, looking down on everything, as if she despised the ants in the Heaven and Earth.
Although she exuded a terrifying aura that made everyone feel an instinctive sense of danger, her expression remained calm, even giving off a strange sense of goodwill.
"Who are you?" Zhuge Xiang's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water as he stared intently at Su Huayu in front of him. Or rather, the woman in front of him was not Su Huayu.
The current Su Huayu gives Zhuge Xiang the feeling of a complete stranger. Apart from having the same face, everything about her cultivation, personality, and temperament has undergone earth-shattering changes. It's as if a different soul is now controlling Su Huayu's body.
"Me?" Her blood-red eyes fell on Zhuge Xiang, her gaze calm and unwavering. "Aren't I Su Huayu? Could it be that you don't remember me?"
"No! Impossible! You are not Su Huayu!" Staring at Su Huayu, Zhuge Xiang Zhuge Xiang shook his head firmly. He could not ignore the intuitive sense of unfamiliarity he felt.
The sight of Su Huayu before him was dangerous, serving as a constant reminder to Zhuge Xiang that if it were truly Su Huayu, she would never have attacked him, and he would never have felt any sense of danger.
"No, it's no, it's just a minor issue. It doesn't matter who others think I am, as long as I know who I am," Su Huayu smiled faintly, not wanting to get entangled with Zhuge Xiang on this matter. Her Scarlet eyes swept over everyone present, and a smile widened at the corner of her mouth, "You are all quite talented. How about it? Are you interested in joining my Blood Demon Cult?"
"Blood Demon Cult?" Upon hearing Su Huayu's offer of recruitment, Yin Wugu and the others exchanged bewildered glances, their faces filled with confusion. Clearly, none of them had ever heard of this so-called Blood Demon Cult.
"Buddhism is a religion that follows the Buddha of the West, so the Blood Demon Cult is naturally a religion that follows our Our Lord Blood Demon. As long as you all devoutly believe in our Our Lord Blood Demon, the supreme Blood Demon Lord, he will surely grant you your wishes..." When she spoke of the Blood Demon, Su Huayu's usually calm eyes revealed a fanatical look. She looked exactly like a fervent believer.
Jie Se, Chen Wuming, and the others resolutely refused Su Huayu's invitation. They already had their own Sect and naturally would not join another sect. The others, including Zhuge Xiang, also expressed that they would not join the so-called Blood Demon Cult so inexplicably.
"What a bunch of heretics! Those who don't believe in our Our Lord Blood Demon have no reason to exist..." The crowd's words of rejection made Su Huayu's eyes turn cold. She spoke to Zhuge Xiang and the others in an unfriendly tone. As she spoke, her aura fluctuated irregularly, as if she might attack at any moment.
Run! Su Huayu's strength at this moment is beyond doubt. She's about to make a move? How could these people dare to fight her? Their first reaction is to run for their lives. With a swift movement, these handsome young men from Yanling Commandery scrambled to escape from the cave.
"Want to leave? You heretics refuse to believe in our Our Lord Blood Demon, do you still think you can leave?" Su Huayu said coldly as she watched Zhuge Xiang and the others flee for their lives. As she spoke, she flashed around, her speed almost exceeding everyone's sight.
"How can you force someone to believe like this? This is blatant coercion!" Huo Siling Meteor Blade Huo Siling, the slowest to escape, cried out in alarm as she sensed the terrifying evil aura behind her.
As she spoke, Huo Siling flicked her wrist, and a dazzling light flashed. The speed was outrageous, and a terrifying Flying Dagger appeared in front of Su Huayu in an instant.
"You're right! I'll be more mindful of the other party's wishes next time, but this time, you're all going to die..." Su Huayu remained expressionless as she watched the Flying Dagger hurtling towards her. She simply raised her hand slightly, seemingly slowly but actually quickly, and with two slender, white fingers, she easily caught the Flying Dagger in front of her.
With a flick of her finger, the Flying Dagger she had caught shot out at an even faster speed, transforming into a streak of light. How could Huo Siling possibly withstand an attack from Cultivator who had surpassed the Spell Control Stage? Amidst screams, the Flying Dagger, which Su Huayu had deflected, pierced through Huo Siling's chest.
Ignoring Huo Siling lying on the ground, Su Huayu Lotus Steps, as if taking a leisurely stroll, but her speed was faster than everyone else's.
Closely behind Huo Siling was Zhang Kuang. Although he had gained the recognition of the Asura Path Will and possessed a powerful Asura True Body, Zhang Kuang was, after all, Cultivator had not yet reached the Deity Transformation stage, so his speed was naturally very slow.
In an instant, Su Huayu appeared behind Zhang Kuang, raised Zhang Kuang finger, and reached out to grab him. It seemed like a casual move, but the energy in her finger locked down the entire surrounding space. Zhang Kuang felt that no matter how he dodged, he couldn't escape her palm.
"Horse-Turning Spear!"
Zhang Kuang, as expected of a combat genius and a battle maniac recognized by the Asura Path Will, even knowing he was no match for Su Huayu, he had no intention of giving up. Unexpectedly, the Blood Python Spear flashed with cold light and stabbed towards Su Huayu's face from under her ribs.
In battle, Zhang Kuang's personality is like that of a mad wolf; even if he loses an arm, he will still bite off a piece of his opponent's flesh.
"A firefly's flame..." Looking at the Blood Python Spear that Zhang Kuang shot towards her, although his reaction was somewhat Su Huayu, the vast difference in strength was not something that could be easily overcome.
Having just easily caught Huo Siling's Flying Dagger and used the same method against her to kill her, Huo Siling Su Huayu now reached for the Blood Python Spear.
Seeing Zhang Kuang's predicament, Zhuge Xiang 'Su Huayu eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that Zhuge Xiang was no match for him, but watching Zhang Kuang Zhuge Xiang get killed was not in his nature.
Regardless, Zhuge Xiang and One Qi Furnace Zhang Kuang had a good relationship. For example, it was only after Zhang Kuang gave him the Contribution Points from killing Zombie that he was able to exchange for One Qi Furnace.
Knockback!
Knockback (Perfection Level 4): Requires level 8 of the Body Tempering Realm. If the opponent's cultivation level is no more than four realms higher than yours, you can Knockback 10 meters. Consumes 300 MP. Cooldown time: 100 seconds.
Zhuge Xiang's current cultivation level is at the Return to Simplicity Realm. What strength would he reach if he counted four minor realms higher? Zhuge Xiang didn't know, but if he wanted to save Zhang Kuang now, this was the only gamble he had.
With a swing of his Azure Nether Blade, Zhuge Xiang slashed at Su Huayu's palm, sending her Knockback.
Having successfully Knockback Su Huayu away, Zhuge Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Su Huayu was powerful now, it seemed that her cultivation level was at least four minor realms higher than his own.
"Run!" Zhuge Xiang shouted urgently after Knockback Su Huayu away, and ran at full speed towards the outside of the cave passage.
Nodding, Zhang Kuang's speed was not slow either. He moved at full speed. With Zhang Kuang current cultivation level of the Return to Simplicity Realm, he was still very fast when moving at full speed. Although he was ruthless in battle, Zhang Kuang also knew what he could and could not do.
"Oh? Interesting ability..." After Knockback a distance, Su Huayu steadied herself and looked at Zhuge Xiang with a hint of interest on her face. "Very well, Zhuge Xiang, your abilities have always been mysterious. Today, I'll show you just how strong you really are."
After being repelled by Zhuge Xiang, Su Huayu focused her attention on Zhuge Xiang. With Lotus Steps, she moved with the speed and agility of Zhang Kuang, actually bypassing Zhang Kuang and appearing behind Zhuge Xiang.
With a flick of her slender fingers, a wisp of crimson Qi Energy shot out like a powerful arrow.
"Focusing your attention on me?" Zhuge Xiang's eyes narrowed as he sensed that Su Huayu had actually Zhang Kuang and attacked him. Back then, that Two-Star Hairy Zombie had almost killed him, and Su Huayu, who had surpassed the Spell Control Stage, was impossible to defeat.
Why did Su Huayu become like this? Wasn't she supposed to be with Qing Mingzi in this Asura Purgatory Diagram? And where did Qing Mingzi go? These are all things Zhuge Xiang urgently needs to know, but now is clearly not the time to figure that out. The most important thing now is how to escape from Su Huayu's clutches.
