Foundation Establishment Blood Cultivator (Please Follow-up Reading)

It was only when the eight of them descended that fighting had already broken out below.

Two cultivators flew out from the mountain. Ye Jingcheng had seen them before—they were the very two among the three who had pursued him earlier.

Only now, their eyes were webbed with bright red bloodshot veins, making them look unnaturally sinister.

Clearly, the Crimson Thousand Rat had caught up to these two first.

The two drew two Flying Sword Dharma Artifacts and took out several Spirit Talismans. Upon seeing the eight of them, they desperately tried to break through the encirclement!

Yet their resistance now seemed especially feeble. In particular, when Ye Xingliu struck, a slash from his Second Order Dharma Sword beheaded one of them.

The remaining man was engulfed by a rain of ice from the Crimson Crown Snow Eagle. In the end, the Crimson Thousand Rat's red needle-like fur pierced him, poisoning him with a deadly toxin.

Even with other restorative Spirit Talismans, he was still slain by Ye Xingliu.

The entire killing process flowed in one smooth stroke, taking less than five breaths.

The Ye Family had no intention of tempering their juniors. What they faced now were puppets of a Heretical Cultivator. If they escaped and alerted the true Heretical Cultivator, there would be endless trouble down the road.

Instead, after the swift kill, Ye Xingliu collected the two Storage Bags. The Crimson Thousand Rat once more burrowed into the two cultivators' necks, squeaking with even greater delight, though there was a faint trace of unease in its cries.

When the Crimson Thousand Rat let out another strange cry and looked toward a certain direction, Ye Haiyi used the Fireball Spell to burn the two corpses clean.

The Spirit Boat rose once again. This time, however, it no longer transformed into a giant vessel, instead becoming a cramped little boat that skimmed along low hills as it slowly advanced deeper into the Mount Taihang Mountain Range.

Everyone's expressions grew more solemn, while Xu Xiuqing's eyes were filled with worry.

Her father had also been afflicted by this Blood Curse. If he had already become like those two men just now, she dared not imagine the consequences...

The Spirit Boat soon arrived at a scenic lake surrounded by green mountains and clear waters.

The Crimson Thousand Rat no longer gave strange cries, becoming exceptionally quiet. The group had long since put away the Spirit Boat. The eight split into two teams of four.

They steadily advanced toward the lake, while Ye Xingliu once again took out array materials and began setting up a formation.

The lake was utterly still. So too were the surrounding mountains connected to it.

A light breeze stirred layer upon layer of ripples across the water.

At the same time, eighty-one Array Flags flew from Ye Xingliu's hand, descending toward the sky above the lake.

Yet before the Spirit Flags could settle into place, several bloody shadows shot out and charged at the Array Flags.

Several Array Flags were instantly slashed into fragments—the formation failed to take shape! In the sky, the Crimson Crown Snow Eagle flew out once more. It released a mass of snow-white feathers that transformed into countless ice crystals, freezing their way toward the lake!

Meanwhile, Ye Xingliu, Ye Haiyi, Ye Xinghe, and Ye Xingyu took up four positions around the lake and unleashed Dharma Artifacts at the cultivators within.

Flying Swords danced through the air, while all manner of Spirit Talismans ran rampant. Ye Xinghe and Ye Xingyu once again brought out the Crimson-Marked Leopard, while Ye Haiyi released his Crimson Thousand Rat.

Even Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingyong released their respective Flying Cloud Leopards.

The two Flying Cloud Leopards had also grown very well by now, both exceptionally brawny and not the least bit inferior to the Crimson Flame Fox in size. Their spiritual energy auras, however, were far weaker. They had not even reached the peak of mid First Order, roughly equivalent to Qi Training Stage 5.

Ye Jingcheng also took out the Crimson Flame Fox.

The moment the Crimson Flame Fox emerged, it launched four enormous Fireballs at a bloody-shadowed cultivator on the lake's surface! Under this series of attacks, the entire lake erupted in flying waves.

One cultivator was slain on the spot by Ye Xingliu. Of the other two, one was torn apart by the Crimson Crown Snow Eagle, while the last was bound by an unbroken barrage of spells and Dharma Artifacts, then blasted into ashes by four Fireballs! At the bottom of the lake, spiritual light began to appear again, as though someone was trying to flee using the Earth Escape Technique!

But in the next moment, a Tier 2 Earth Shaking Talisman smashed fiercely into the ground!

In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, countless rumbling booms sounding out.

A figure immediately burst from beneath the earth.

The figure wore a blood-red robe, with only a pair of eyes exposed—eyes that were unusually gloomy and bloodthirsty.

"Fellow Daoists, we have neither grievance nor grudge between us. Must we truly fight until the fish dies and the net tears?" The Blood Cultivator's sinister voice was especially grating.

Yet no one answered him.

They had already surrounded him. Any words or replies could delay the battle opportunity. They held the advantage and were besieging him, so naturally they would not make such a basic mistake.

Ye Xingliu slashed out with his Flying Sword once more. At the same time, the spirit snake on his body emerged again, transforming into green armor that spread across his sides.

That strike landed on a Crimson Small Shield, immediately producing a resounding clang and scattering countless sparks of spiritual light.

The Second Order Flying Sword left no mark at all. Clearly, this small shield was also an exceptional Second Order defensive Dharma Artifact, which made Ye Xingliu feel greatly troubled.

Ye Xinghe, Ye Haiyi, and Ye Xingyu also began restraining the Blood Cultivator from the side.

Besides the crimson small shield, the Blood Cultivator took out another small shield, a Blood Saber Dharma Artifact, and three Blood Flying Needle Dharma Artifacts.

All of these were Second Order Magic Items. The Blood Saber swept wide and free, carrying dazzling saber light, while the three Blood Flying Needles circled around the Blood Cultivator.

If Ye Xingliu still had the Black Serpent Pincers, this would naturally have been easy. But now, it became somewhat difficult.

Every time the Blood Cultivator swung his Blood Saber, it carried terrifying power.

Just then, Ye Jingcheng's Crimson Flame Fox seized the opportunity and suddenly unleashed a massive Greater Fireball Spell. The huge Fireball was as large as a millstone, carrying terrifying crimson flames as it crashed down!

The Blood Cultivator had no choice but to defend. Everyone could not help but glance at Ye Jingcheng again, completely taken aback by how terrifying the Crimson Flame Fox could be.

Especially Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingyong. They looked at their Flying Cloud Leopards, and the gap was simply far too great! Yet though they looked, no one was distracted. Ye Jingyu also activated the Wind Flag, and beneath the raging wind, the enormous Fireball burned even more fiercely!

The combination of wind and fire revealed itself once more.

The terrifying Fireball blasted the blood shield several zhang away, while Ye Xingliu and the other Ye Family members wielded their various Dharma Artifacts and continued cutting toward the Blood Cultivator.

But most were cleaved apart by the Blood Cultivator's Blood Saber Dharma Artifact.

The remainder were blocked by the three Flying Needle Dharma Artifacts shooting out and holding them all off.

Then, on the flat ground, a lizard suddenly shifted from transparency into solid form!

The next moment, countless earth spikes erupted. At the same time, an enormous long tongue shot out like a spear toward the Blood Cultivator! This chain of attacks was airtight.

The Blood Cultivator's expression immediately turned extremely ugly, but he slapped out two Spirit Talismans. The talismans transformed into a golden Spirit Shield!

Boom! The Spirit Shield did not shatter. Instead, both the earth spikes and the long tongue returned without accomplishing anything.

"Tier 2 Golden Bell Shield Spirit Talisman!" The Ye Family members were all somewhat shocked.

The Blood Cultivator's methods had exceeded everyone's expectations.

At that moment, Ye Jingcheng suddenly looked at the Jade Ring Rat beside him. The Jade Ring Rat was filled with terror, as though some danger was about to arrive.

At that instant, Ye Jingcheng suddenly looked beneath the lake.

"Something's wrong, Eldest Uncle, Third Uncle. He's stalling for time—there may be others below!!"
