You're Unlucky to Run Into Me
There were only three elders from the Blood Lotus Sect who came here: Elder Zhuo, who Peak Ascension Realm, Elder Gu, and Wang Teng himself, both of whom were at the Mid Ascension Realm.
With Wang Teng setting his sights on Cheng Shifei, Elder Gu naturally had to deal with Duan Tianya.
"Illusion? No, something's wrong with this sword!"
The Elder Gu stood amidst the blood mist, holding a small bronze bell. Several sword wounds cut through his flesh, blood flowing freely. His eyes were filled with fear and surprise, and his somewhat manic roar echoed in all directions!
Immersed in the sword domain formed by Duan Tianya's true qi and sword intent, the sharp sword shadows felt incredibly real.
The Phantom Sword, sometimes real, sometimes fake, and ever-changing, caused this Elder Gu a great deal of trouble.
Duan Tianya stood with his sword in hand, his terrifying sword intent enveloping the area, his figure ethereal and dreamlike, making it difficult to see clearly.
His figure moved with incredible speed, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on the Elder Gu's back.
"Ah!"
Elder Gu winced in pain, a pained expression spreading across his face, but there was nothing he could do; his martial arts were not suited for direct combat.
In terms of true strength in a one-on-one fight, he was no match for Duan Tianya. This man's swordsmanship was too sharp and too unpredictable; he couldn't understand it!
He could only keep shaking the small bronze bell in his hand, and a series of melodious sounds emanated from it, striking straight to the mind and making one feel dazed.
At the same time, Elder Gu's divine sense covered the area, attempting to find a flaw. If he could find even the slightest flaw and seize the opportunity, he could still turn the tide.
Upon hearing this confusing sound, Duan Tianya remained calm and unmoved. Illusionary magic was useless against him.
With a flash, Duan Tianya's sword flew from his hand, and a white sword shadow several feet long shot out from Elder Gu's left side, exuding a chilling killing intent.
They've made their move!
Sensing the murderous sword intent, Elder Gu was overjoyed. He gathered true energy in his left hand to block the sword, while the bell in his right hand shook rapidly.
Elder Gu was completely absorbed, his gaze fixed on the sword light, a glint of light appearing in his eyes. Invisible ripples, barely perceptible to the naked eye, spread out from the bell, unleashing a sonic attack.
But when the true energy struck the sword light, the sword light was directly shattered, leaving only a sword and no one!
Where are they?! Upon seeing this, Elder Gu's eyes widened immediately as he looked at the countless illusory sword lights around him, filled with fear.
He thought the mental temptation was effective; he thought the sword strike was real.
There was no time to react!
As Elder Gu made his move, Duan Tianya pointed his right hand like a sword, his target being the bell on the man's right hand.
With a flick of Duan Tianya finger, Duan Tianya unleashed a sharp sword aura three zhang long, his true qi and sword intent cleanly slicing off Elder Gu's right arm.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Even though it was just a sword intent that swept across, the terrifying sword energy that remained raged and tore the wound near Elder Gu's shoulder into a bloody mess. In an instant, Elder Gu's face turned deathly pale, and his painful voice sounded almost like a roar!
Guided by true energy and sword intent, the sword that Elder Gu had knocked away instantly returned to Duan Tianya's hand, and without hesitation, he swung it up again.
Elder Gu's hastily constructed protective aura was as fragile as paper, directly cleaved by the sword intent. The sword light slashed diagonally upwards from Elder Gu's lower right side, cutting across his left shoulder, leaving only a beautiful trail of blood in the air.
Under the force of Duan Tianya's burst, Elder Gu's figure flew backward two meters along the trajectory of the sword before crashing to the ground.
"What kind of sword is this! Why is it like this?"
The Elder Gu, lying on the ground, his face contorted in pain, looked at the sword-wielding figure standing before him and spoke weakly and intermittently.
His eyes were filled with the intent of death, yet a glimmer of light also appeared. Duan Tianya's sword strike had severed his internal organs; he had no chance of survival.
Duan Tianya did not answer. He took a step forward and stood in front of him, his eyes indifferent as if he were looking at a dead man.
Without hesitation, Duan Tianya directly severed Elder Gu's head with a single sword strike. With a flick of his sword tip, he lifted the head, and countless tiny sword intents surged and swirled, turning it into a bloody mist.
Having settled all that, Duan Tianya calmly looked at the headless corpse before him, shook his head, and said...
"The Blood Lotus Sect possesses countless blood-path secret techniques, and its [Lotus Birth Great Method] and its path of vengeful spirits are also quite formidable. Why do you only practice these strange illusionary arts? You're unlucky to have run into me."
Is this guy weak? No, but he's lucky if you run into Duan Tianya with his strange illusions. His Phantom Sword are also a mix of reality and illusion, like a dream.
Trying to play these games with him here is like picking the wrong person!
Dead?
Wang Teng's gaze sharpened, somewhat anxious. They couldn't keep fighting like this. How could Elder Gu have died so quickly? They had only just begun!
Blood mist gathered around Wang Teng's body and flowed to his legs. Blood energy surged beneath his feet, and his figure shot out in an instant. Even Cheng Shifei didn't react Cheng Shifei time, standing there blinking. This guy was unbelievably fast.
Wang Teng, who had run away, did not leave. His eyes revealed a fierce look, as well as a hint of determination.
He put in a lot of effort for this scheme, joining forces with the Blood Lotus Sect, finding Night Watcher, making special requests, and even personally getting involved.
Having finally lured these enemies here, he couldn't let all his efforts go to waste; he was determined to avenge his family.
Thinking of what that person had said to him when he went to plead, Wang Teng instantly made a decision: so be it if he's exposed!
Wang Teng took out a small, jade-like ball from his pocket, about the size of a walnut, and crushed it with his hand by gathering his true energy.
Having done all this, Wang Teng seemed to have no more scruples and accelerated towards Elder Zhuo's location!
Cheng Shifei didn't chase after him directly. That guy was running too fast, and whether he could catch him was another matter. It was better to deal with the people in front of him first.
As Cheng Shifei turned around and revealed a strange smile, the Blood Lotus Sect and some members of the Wang Family who were fighting glanced at him and felt a chill and fear in their hearts. This smile didn't look like that of a good person!
"Elder Zhuo, hold on, I'm coming to help you!"
Before he even arrived, Wang Teng's voice had already reached him, a loud roar filled with boundless confidence.
"Blood-Dyed Silk, Pluck the Heartstring!"
Upon arriving, Wang Teng immediately attacked Zhu Wushi, spreading his arms wide. Countless streams of blood energy transformed into fine golden threads of blood, entangling Zhu Wushi from all directions!
Zhu Wushi punched Elder Zhuo in the chest, the force of his true energy shattering the sternum and sending him flying dozens of feet away. His true energy solidified, and his powerful protective aura kept the blood-red golden threads at bay.
He then unleashed a flurry of punches, shattering the blood-red and golden threads of true energy that filled the sky.
Turning around, Zhu Wushi's gaze, filled with scrutiny and probing, looked towards the spot where Elder Zhuo had been sent flying. Wang Teng had only used this one move before heading straight for Elder Zhuo. Tiger King True Scripture?
This move doesn't seem like a technique from the Wang Family!
It's not the Blood Lotus Sect's style either. Judging from the feeling of this aura and true energy, Zhu Wushi felt that it was actually quite similar to his own cultivation methods and martial arts!
"Cough cough! Wang Teng, Lao Gu is dead. Find a chance to retreat!"
"We also need to be careful; Zhu Wushi's technique is strange!"
Elder Gu propped himself up and said with some pain, "I made a mistake!"
He thought that even if the Buddhist power was restrained, with the endless blood energy in this Blood Sacrifice Grand Array, this was his home ground, and he was an invincible war god. In any case, with the balance of power shifting, he should have the upper hand, or even be the one who wins!
