Twin Blood Moons

Crash!

Yuan Qiupeng crawled out of the ruins beside him.

"Did you think you could escape?"

Before he could react, another sword descended from the sky.

He could only take it head-on!

He erupted with all his strength and hurled a massive ball of spiritual power toward the heavens.

Boom!

Another violent explosion rang out.

Zhang You's side had long since fallen silent.

There was not a trace of life within the enormous crater.

"That kid seems to have been blasted to bits!"

After Pang Biao came over to inspect the area, he told the others the result.

"Use the Life-Gathering Origin Formation. As long as we can gather his flesh and bones again, it won't be much of a problem."

Tang Julou spoke after considering it for a moment.

Qin Fengtian nodded and took out the formation disk once more, tapping it several times.

The stone pillars outside Xiaolin City erupted with brilliant light again, finally casting a point of light into the great crater where Zhang You had been attacked!

"Just wait!"

The group then made their way to Yuan Qiupeng.

"You all deserve to die!"

A furious roar suddenly rang out. Yuan Qiupeng, with only half his body left, appeared within the crater.

He was indeed quite powerful, having somehow avoided dying on the spot.

Hundred Soldiers Rampage!

Dense masses of metal appeared within the crater, darting about wildly. In no time, Yuan Qiupeng was riddled with holes like a beehive.

Since the forbidden technique's duration had not yet ended, he continued struggling.

But as a streak of sword qi flashed past, a head shot into the sky!

Only when the enhancement from his forbidden technique faded did his body finally stop struggling!

Yuan Qiupeng had committed countless evils, only to be schemed to death by Qin Fengtian and the others!

What a stifling death!

He had not even managed to wield half his strength!

A wisp of blue-white energy flew out!

"Rise!"

Qin Fengtian poured several streams of spiritual power into the formation disk in his hand.

Something resembling a heart appeared above the City Lord's Manor.

Yuan Qiupeng's body exploded where it lay, turning into streaks of blood light that were absorbed by that heart!

"Continue!"

Soon, streaks of blood light rose from every corner of the city, gathering together and flowing into the heart!

They came from those cultivators in the city who had been resisting Qinhuayan.

They had already been slaughtered by the formation.

"These dead people are not enough to restore Blood Heart's vitality, but they are still no small source of nourishment."

Tang Julou stared at the heart as he spoke.

"Come look! Something seems wrong over here!"

Pang Biao shouted, and the others quickly gathered around.

There was no sign of flesh and blood gathering within the crater where Zhang You had vanished!

"Heh! That kid actually isn't dead!"

A dagger appeared in Qin Fengtian's hand, and he shot it toward the rear.

"Oh my, I've been discovered."

Zhang You revealed himself, shook his head, and flicked a finger. The dagger was knocked flying.

"You're somewhat stronger than we imagined! You hid yourself deeply indeed!"

Shopkeeper Li sighed.

"Shopkeeper Li! I'll call you shopkeeper one last time! It seems you hid yourselves more deeply than I did, no? You've had your eye on me since the moment I arrived in Xiaolin City. If I hadn't been so lucky, I truly wouldn't have discovered your little schemes! Am I really that irresistible, that you've been pining after me for so long?"

Zhang You glanced at Shopkeeper Li, neither pleased nor angered.

"You can only blame your own Pure Body for being too special. Just obediently offer yourself up. We can at least give you a swift death!"

Shopkeeper Li shook his head.

"Don't make it sound so ambiguous! Someone who didn't know better might think I was some peerless beauty! I'm merely curious. How did you know I was this so-called Pure Body? And what benefits can this constitution bring you?"

Zhang You had always had this question. Although he knew he possessed a special constitution, it was definitely not some damn Pure Body.

"This place was laid with a formation by us many years ago, and the core of that formation is the bones of someone with a Pure Body! As long as someone with a related constitution enters Xiaolin City, we can sense it!"

"Although we have sensed quite a few people over the years, only one barely met the minimum requirements! Until you appeared!"

"You must know that even the person who created this formation claimed that a Pure Body could at most reach seventy or eighty percent compatibility!"

"But you reached perfect compatibility! One hundred percent!"

"As for what benefits you can bring us, of course it is immortality!"

A mad light shone in Qin Fengtian's eyes.

When the others heard the word immortality, divine light also burst from their eyes!

Hearing this, Zhang You formed a guess: what this so-called formation core needed was someone with a special constitution, but over all these years, only his own special constitution had matched it perfectly!

What a damn coincidence—coincidence had opened the door for coincidence, and coincidence had come home!

"Why waste so much breath with him? Just suppress him directly. I refuse to believe he can stir up any great waves!"

Pang Biao had a fiery temper.

"The timing is perfect!"

Tang Julou pointed at the Blood Moon in the sky!

At this moment, it was without the slightest flaw. Its color was a little deeper red than usual, and the moonlight it cast down carried a cold, sinister aura!

Suddenly, another Blood Moon appeared beside the Blood Moon.

It appeared without any warning. Everything had happened so suddenly!

Then, a massive curtain of light appeared beneath the Blood Moons.

The curtain was covered in dense cracks!

Yet it still erupted with powerful spiritual energy, resisting the cold light spilling down from the Blood Moons.

This cold light was no simple thing. It carried intense corrosive power and was destroying the curtain of light.

In the blink of an eye, the cracks in the curtain multiplied once more!

Very soon, a thread of evil power actually seeped through!

"Hahaha! Great Xia is probably finished! It won't hold out for more than three years!"

Pang Biao grew excited as he stared at the curtain of light!

In the past, with Great Xia keeping them in check, cultivators had not dared cause trouble recklessly.

Once the dynasty fell, every faction would carve it up!

A cultivator with such poor talent as himself might even get a share of the spoils.

They had dared conduct a blood sacrifice of Xiaolin City today precisely because Great Xia no longer had the spare attention to care for every region. That was why they had such an opportunity!

"Shopkeeper Li and Pang Biao, you two deal with this little thing. Tang Household Head, Boss Ren, and I will immediately activate the grand formation!"

Qin Fengtian glanced at the others.

No one objected.

Very soon, Qin Fengtian, Tang Julou, and Boss Ren sat cross-legged beneath that enormous heart.

Rumble...

Qin Fengtian manipulated the formation disk. The stone pillars outside the city sank several zhang into the ground, while black smoke spread outward for several li.

Before long, the vitality within the black smoke was directly plundered through the earth and drawn into the stone pillars.

Tang Julou and Boss Ren each took out a talisman and recited an unknown incantation.

Bang!

The talismans ignited on their own, turning into wisps of white smoke that burrowed underground.

The ground throughout the city erupted with intense blue light!

Then, the essence, qi, and spirit of every living being in the city began to be drawn into the ground, transforming into streams of red light that gathered toward the City Lord's Manor!

"Shopkeeper Li, don't interfere. Let me personally cripple this little bastard!"

"Watch me crush his head! Hahaha!"

Pang Biao did not even transform into his beast form. He charged straight at Zhang You, reaching out with one hand to seize him!

"Wait—"

Shopkeeper Li was already too late to stop him.

Splurt!

Pang Biao's vision blurred. At the critical moment, he twisted his body aside.

Half his body was sliced clean away!

"Argh!"

A heart-rending scream followed!

"Die!"

Zhang You raised his hand once more and lightly chopped it toward the other man's neck!
