Battle Against the Blood Shadow Demon Slayer
Hong Baiwei sat cross-legged on a rock, cultivating. The valley was quiet, with only the occasional sound of the wind blowing through, stirring his clothes.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he subconsciously looked up, his sharp gaze fixed on a certain point on the horizon.
At first, it was just an inconspicuous black dot, but in the next moment, the black dot rapidly magnified in his vision like a deadly shooting star.
In the blink of an eye, the black dot transformed into a colossal flying monster that blotted out the sky, its wings spread wide like dark clouds obscuring the sun.
As the monster flapped its wings, gusts of wind were stirred up, and the clouds churned.
Several figures could be vaguely seen standing on the broad back of the monster.
Hong Baiwei didn't care. In this Sacred Spirit Continent, various sects and powerful forces emerged one after another, and it was common for powerful people to ride flying monsters to travel back and forth.
He assumed it was just some sect members passing through, and focused his mind, preparing to continue his closed-eye cultivation.
But gradually, a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart. The beast's trajectory was heading straight for him without any deviation.
Hong Baiwei's eyes narrowed instantly, a ruthless glint flashing in them. His many years of licking blood off the edge and maneuvering against opponents had honed his almost instinctive and keen sense of danger.
His muscles tensed, as if he were a cheetah ready to pounce on its prey.
He knew in his heart that the reason he had survived until now was because of this alertness.
Since he began practicing Demonic Cultivation Path arts, his hands have been stained with blood. He has committed countless heinous and inhuman acts. In the eyes of the Righteous Path, he is a vicious and venomous beast who deserves to be killed by everyone.
A slight carelessness or a lack of vigilance could lead to one day being left to rot in the wilderness and be killed.
"Eldest Brother and sister-in-law, the target is in that valley below!" Hua Jiu'er's clear voice broke the dull atmosphere, her words revealing a hint of smugness.
With her eyebrows slightly raised and her bright eyes full of pride, she used her special ability to lock onto the aura from over a hundred miles away, tracked it all the way here, and accurately found her target.
Such a skill in finding people is beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators. Even though Hua Qiang and Huo Qingtong's cultivation levels far surpass hers, they do not possess such miraculous abilities.
"Is that so? Then let's prepare for battle."
"Jiu'er, stay on the back of the Red-headed Eagle for a while and don't get off. Your Eldest Brother and Qing Tong can fight the enemy together." Hua Qiang gave a calm and steady order, his voice exuding an unquestionable authority.
Hua Jiu'er knew her own limitations; she knew that going down there would not only be useless but might even be a hindrance. So she quickly nodded obediently and gripped the Red-headed Eagle's feathers tightly with her little hands.
As the Red-headed Eagle flapped its wings and swooped close to Hong Baiwei, Huo Qingtong waved her hand, ordering it to stop flying.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them flashed and jumped down, their clothes fluttering as they landed steadily, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Upon seeing this, Hong Baiwei's brows furrowed into a deep frown, his anger burning fiercely within him.
Damn it, I'm just one step away from completing this closed-door training.
He has just touched the threshold of advancing to the Saint Realm Sixth Tier. He only needs to make one last final push to break through the shackles.
From then on, they could fly through the air, completely escaping the humiliation of running and fleeing on the ground.
But now, these two "oddballs" have been interrupting his good time, how could he not be angry?
Preventing someone from getting promoted is tantamount to murder for money.
In his eyes, Hua Qiang and Huo Qingtong had become heinous criminals.
Sensing the other party's cultivation level, one Saint Realm Fourth Tier and the other at the Saint Realm Fifth Tier, Hong Baiwei felt somewhat relieved.
As a veteran Saint Realm Fifth Tier expert, he had faintly touched the Sixth Rank barrier, possessing profound foundation and combat experience far exceeding that of ordinary people.
A contemptuous sneer curled at the corner of his mouth. He didn't take the two young men in front of him seriously at all, and thus abandoned the idea of running away immediately.
In his view, in a head-on confrontation, the outcome is left to chance.
Hua Qiang was also secretly observing Hong Baiwei, and realizing that the other party's realm was only one level higher than his own, a fighting spirit surged in his heart.
In his view, he was by no means fighting alone; he also had Huo Qingtong, a powerful ally whose level was equal to Hong Baiwei's. With the two of them joining forces, there was no chance of victory in this battle.
Moreover, they have gone through many hardships in their pursuit of the devil Hong Baiwei, and their goal is right in front of them. How can they not fight?
And this is practically a walking Slaughter Points!
Killing this demon will add another 10,000 kill points to his Slaughter Points, bringing him one step closer to the Saint Realm Fifth Tier.
Hong Wei looked at Hua Qiang and Huo Qingtong again, and for some reason, he felt a vague sense of unease.
He suddenly felt that these two people might pose a threat to him. Why hadn't he felt that way before?
This is what puzzled him.
"Boy, who are you? And why have you come here?"
"I don't know you, and we have no grudges against each other, so why..."
Hehe!
Hua Qiang sneered twice, interrupting Hong Baiwei's words, and stretched out his hand, the Thunderclap Blade appeared in his hand.
"You are Blood Shadow Demon Slayer Hong Baiwei?"
Hong Baiwei's pupils suddenly contracted, realizing that this battle with Tian was inevitable, as the other side had come looking for him.
From the moment he revealed his identity, it became clear that the two were adversaries.
Without further ado, he reached out and grabbed at Hua Qiang with his claw.
Blood Vulture Demonic Claw
A sharp eagle cry rang out, and a huge, blood-red vulture appeared in the air.
The vulture was enormous, its body obscuring part of the sky. Its sharp claws gleamed with a chilling light and carried a heavy, bloody stench.
Seeing this, Hua Qiang dared not underestimate the opponent, who was a whole level above him. If he dared to underestimate the opponent without knowing their strength, he would be courting death.
Immediately, the Thunderclap Blade in his hand trembled, and a series of Thunderclap sounds rang out continuously.
[The Blade Principle: Thunder Slaughter]
Hua Qiang swung his broadsword, and a broadsword formed from lightning and thunder appeared in the air, striking the huge claw that was reaching out to grab him.
Clang!
A massive explosion and the clanging of metal echoed through the air.
Hua Qiang's slashing blade cleaved the giant eagle claw in half, sending countless Blood Fiend Qi into the air.
However, Hua Qiang's blade of light was shattered by the sharp claw, and the other half of the claw continued to grab at Hua Qiang.
Hua Qiang's eyes narrowed, and he swung his sword again, unleashing the [Blade Principle: Thunder Slaughter] move. The lightning-struck greatsword collided with the claws once more, cleaving them into a cloud of blood mist. The stench of blood filled the entire valley, making people nauseous.
"Kid, not bad, you've got some skills. If that's all, then leave your life behind!"
"The essence and blood of the two of you can help me break through!"
After testing the waters with one move, Hong Baiwei realized that the young man opposite him was only capable of so much, and immediately began to underestimate him.
Hua Qiang curled his lips into a mocking smile.
"Blood Drinker Demon Slayer, I just took one of your attacks, now I'll let you taste Young Master's power."
He raised his broadsword high and brought it down Hong Baiwei.
[Annihilation Slash]!
