The True Blood Shadow Godly Movement

Li Fan lowered his gaze, took a deep breath, and rubbed his throbbing temples.

This eye consumes more Divine Sense energy than Qiongqi's physical body. After using it repeatedly, I started to feel dizzy and lightheaded, and I couldn't take it anymore.

Moreover, judging from the current effects, it is specifically designed for 'Non-Thing' Dao Ancestors. Lambs and the like can be directly destroyed, but for 'material' beings, such as ferocious beasts, the effect is only to immobilize them, and it has no effect on humanoid beings at all.

But it seems I'm facing another calamity?

Honestly, he has no bottlenecks in his cultivation, yet he keeps facing heavenly tribulations that push his limits. Could this be what they call destiny? He truly has profound luck...

Li Fan was numb from all the tribulations he had to endure. He shrugged, then looked at the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand and felt a pang of heartache.

The battle against the demon was a fierce and brutal affair, and the sword's edge was indeed showing signs of wear. Meanwhile, Pitian remained completely still inside the sword sheath, unresponsive to any calls. He was clearly only briefly exposed by the light in Lu Chai's eyes, yet he was already so badly injured...

Fortunately, Li Fan still had a bunch of trump cards up his sleeve. The ultimate move of the Golden Dragon White Star Twin Swords was still available. However, he had indeed just gone through a fierce battle and was a little out of breath. His true energy was circulating slightly sluggishly, and he probably couldn't control it anymore.

Cough cough cough, that was a bit too much of a show.

Well, Li Fan's fatigue was mainly Divine Sense; his body was fine. It was just that the skinned body looked a bit creepy, but the injuries weren't serious. The main reason was that the human skin Daoist robe was powerful enough to take his place, so even if he were hit squarely by an axe and embedded in a wall, he wouldn't feel any pain.

However, when it comes to human skin Daoist robes, there is both good news and bad news.

The good news is that he hasn't used up all his robes yet; the bad news is that "not used up" refers to the three robes he shed along with his skin during the skinning process. Yeah, those were stained with excrement...

Of course, Li Fan didn't care about the taste. Survival was more important than the taste. But it seemed that Luo Sect's human skin Daoist robe could block all kinds of magical and physical explosion effects, but it couldn't directly react to attacks that affected one's mood, or the spiritual or mental effects caused by Non-Things. Otherwise, it should have been used up when fighting the lamb earlier.

But now is not the time to think about these things. We need to hurry and eliminate the Blood Lord before the cult's pursuers arrive. We also need to have some hot pot to fully restore our health and mana.

After wrapping himself in the human skin Daoist robe and putting it on, and putting away the broken double maces, Li Fan quickly cleaned up the battlefield before walking towards the altar with the Fagui Sword in hand.

The cult's magic was indeed powerful. He and Lu Chai fought fiercely, bombing and blasting for a long time, but the altar was completely unaffected, and the banners that had been placed in the formation remained motionless. Li Fan circled around twice and immediately realized that with his limited skill in formations, he couldn't possibly break this great formation!

Looking up at the stalactites, the blood-red network, like ivy covering the rock face, slowly writhed and continued to spread and grow. This was quite different from the lambs I had seen before. It was probably Devil Embryo that had been nurtured for a long time and was nearing completion.

Beneath the stalactites, the boy, whose chest and abdomen had been pierced by the stone pillars and crushed in the center of the massive altar, was breathless, his eyes lifeless, and his body withered. He chewed on the piece of Tai Sui meat thrown next to his face, barely recognizable as human.

It's unclear whether the magic array was so powerful that the person sealed inside had no idea what was happening outside, or whether the boy had become so withdrawn that he was no longer affected by the roaring explosions outside.

So the boy, whose face was completely devoid of skin, stood outside the magic circle, looking at the boy who was nothing but skin and bones not far away.

At this moment, both of them looked neither human nor ghost, but there was indeed a certain resemblance between them in terms of their brow bones.

This person is Li You, who is probably just of marriageable age. It's quite pitiful that a pampered eldest son of the imperial family has been reduced to this state.

Looking at him, Li Fan seemed to see another future and destiny for himself.

He felt a pang of pity, a lingering fear, but mostly a sense of enlightenment.

In this world, power, birth, wealth, and destiny are all meaningless.

Only strength matters!

Having a sword in your hand means you can speak loudly and do whatever you want!

Without the power to protect themselves, even royalty, princes, and grandsons of kings, no matter how noble their status, are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter!

Li Fan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the last trace of hesitation and longing for worldly riches in his bright black and white pupils had completely vanished.

In that instant, his resolve hardened. He pulled out Purple Sash Immortal Clothes from the bubble behind his head and draped it over his shoulders. With a flick of his Heaven and Earth Sleeve, he threw Huo Shan Mo Lian, who was bound by the Immortal Binding Rope, out.

He wasn't worried that the Saintess might turn the tables. He had confirmed during the kidnapping that Huo Shan Mo Lian was indeed only at the Qi Refining level, at most knowing some martial arts, and hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment yet. Moreover, he had used the Immortal Imprisoning Immortal Rope, which was used to bind Golden Immortals, to bind her into a cocoon. Even if she managed to turn the tables, there was nothing more to say.

"Stop pretending to be asleep, Your Saintess. Your heart is pounding like a rabbit. I won't kill you; what if you awaken? On the contrary, if you help me, I'll let you go right now."

Li Fan carefully examined the incantations on the magic array banners and tried stepping on the Yu Step twice, but the array remained completely still. He then continued to persuade him...

"You still have a long life ahead of you, your lifespan hasn't ended yet, and you probably don't want to awaken into another person right now, do you? Besides, with this Blood Lord, it seems more likely that you'll be devoured and die. Since that's the case, why don't we cooperate?"

Li Fan continued speaking to himself, "You open the altar, and I'll slay this demon. If the people from the cult ask, you can just say you were ambushed and knocked unconscious at the start of the ceremony or something. Make up whatever you want, since you're powerless to do anything anyway, aren't you?"

I just hope you can clear your head. Life is short, and even if you really are Saintess of the religion, what's the point of risking your life for your ambitions from past lives? Nobody owes anyone anything."

Hearing that the other person's heartbeat had returned to normal, Li Fan reached out and put the Imprisoning Immortal Rope back into his sleeve.

Huo Shan Mo Lian got up and looked at the Demon Lord, who was now skinless, with apprehension. Then he saw the obvious aftermath of a great battle around him and the fact that Master Lu was nowhere to be found. Without hesitation, he knelt down.

"Your divine skills are unparalleled! Your magical power is boundless! Huo Hongmian sincerely admires your cultivation! Please accept this junior as your disciple!"

Hey! This is the second time!

Li Fan was momentarily speechless, and could only say in a deep voice, "You actually dare to threaten me?"

Huo Shan Mo Lian said urgently, "This humble woman dares not! To break the seal of the Blood Lord, all that is needed is to use this humble woman's blood to draw the talisman, and the immortals can then remove the banner and break the formation!"

Hongmian sincerely admired the Dao and hoped to cultivate the righteous method, which is why she joined the Divine Sect! But the Divine Sect insisted that I was some kind of Saintess reincarnation! They claimed that I had mastered all the heavenly books and divine skills, and that I could use them whenever I remembered them, but they refused to teach me even the slightest method!

If I could figure it out myself, why would I stay in this sect? Not only is there no future for me, but I'm also constantly being hunted down, and they keep telling me to die. It's outrageous!

Please, gods, take me in!

Hmm... that makes a lot of sense...

Li Fan flicked his finger, and the sword energy cut through Huo Shan Mo Lian's arm, splattering a string of blood beads onto the banner. Huo Shan Mo Lian was quite bold, not dodging at all, while the banner clearly burst into flames. The entire altar shook violently, and the Blood Lord on the stalactites began to churn as if they were alive!

Li Fan narrowed his eyes and said, "My cultivation is still shallow and I'm not qualified to take on disciples. You don't need to say anything more. I'm going to exorcise demons later, so don't get in the way. If you accidentally die, you might cause trouble for others. Get lost, get as far away from Changsi City as possible!"

She was biting her lip, looking aggrieved.

Li Fan scratched his head, tossed her a Storage Jade pendant, and gave her a veiled hat. "If you really want to leave the Divine Sect, wear this 'Unknown Face' and use this invisibility talisman. You can naturally avoid the cultivators' pursuit. There is Ink Bamboo Mountain in the Li Country. It seems that Lou Guan does not accept female disciples, but there are still many independent cultivators' caves there."

If you truly possess great perseverance and a great opportunity, you will surely be able to enter the immortal sect.

If no one accepts you, it only means you are not destined for the Tao.

This is indeed a proper path to immortality, a way to begin one's journey. Anyone can come to Ink Bamboo Mountain to try; if someone truly possesses extraordinary talent, an immortal will naturally come to accept them. However, regardless of the Saintess of the Divine Sect's aptitude, probably no one would dare accept such a hot potato...

Huo Shan Mo Lian was overjoyed, "Thank you for the divine guidance! Hongmian will definitely pass your test!"

Finally, Li Fan breathed a sigh of relief after getting rid of the NPC who could have caused a nuclear explosion if he died, leading to the mission's failure. He grabbed a handful of Nine Revolutions Purple Gold Pill and gulped them down to replenish his energy.

He rested for a while, and waited until the Saintess had probably slipped far enough away. He had also recovered some of his energy, felt his Dao Breath replenished, and had more than 600 points of mood as a foundation. Without further delay, he slapped away the shaky banner!

Li Fan's mood dropped a little.

"Ah--!"

The moment the magic array failed, the blood net that had been clinging to the stone pillar like ivy suddenly flew into the air! Like a cast fishing net, it pounced on Li Fan like a living creature!

The system has started counting down!

Li You screamed in agony! The Blood Lord was clearly in some kind of parasitic relationship with Li You. As it pounced, a large number of blood vessels connected to the meridians and bone marrow were pulled out of the cavity in Li You's chest!

Li Fan took a deep breath and glared at them!

The blood-red net that shone down on him instantly shattered into a cloud of blood mist! A large amount of foul blood splattered all over the ground! It dissipated almost the instant he opened his eyes!

How can they be so weak?

Li Fan immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Li Fan's mood dropped a little.

Li Fan's mood dropped a little.

Sure enough! The system is still counting down!

So Li Fan continued to stare intently at Li You, who was lying on the ground screaming in agony, and soon realized what was happening.

From his body cavity, there were still many blood vessels as thick as large intestines, coiled like electrical wires behind the stone pillar. The blood network that collapsed in the first instant was all body tissue on one side of the stone pillar, but on the other side of the stone pillar, there was clearly a rustling sound, as if something was playing a game of "Qin King circling the pillar" with him!

Li Fan suddenly sprinted forward, trying to circle around to the other side and catch up with his opponent, but the Blood Lord escaped even faster! He was as elusive as a ghost. Li Fan only had time to see a human-shaped blood-red cloak, but after chasing him left and right and circling around two or three times, he still couldn't catch him!

The veins on Li Fan's temples throbbed violently, and bloody tears gradually seeped from his eye sockets.

Oh no! This thing has been developing for too long; it's probably already quite intelligent. If this continues, he really won't be able to hold on any longer!

At that moment, Li You's screams suddenly stopped!

Li Fan leaped backward, holding his sword horizontally in front of his chest in defense, watching the boy on the ground warily.

The veins on his neck bulged, as if the blood vessels under his skin had congealed into a hand to strangle him, emitting a suffocating, gurgling sound. Then, a gash suddenly appeared in the boy's throat, and a strange, asthmatic sound came from his chest and lungs.

"People... let me go..."

Li Fan's mood dropped a little.

Damn it, this thing can actually talk...

"Fine, come out and let me see you, and I'll let you go right away."

Li Fan suddenly pounced on him again, circling the pillar two or three times, but despite his best efforts, he still couldn't catch up.

On the other side of the stalactite, there was clearly a blood-red shadow, as if a person wearing a red cloak was hiding, but Li Fan just couldn't catch up to its front.

"People... let me go... help... don't kill me... save me..."

Li Fan's mood dropped a little.

Should we kill Li You with a single sword strike?

Killing Li You would either cut off the Blood Lord's supplies or sever this part of the body from its burdens, allowing the Blood Lord to escape without having to circle the pillar...

"Oh? You're letting you go, huh! You want to kill him? Fine, I'll confess!"

Li Fan swung his sword and threw it straight at Li You's forehead!

Li You suddenly raised his head and stuck out his tongue, sending the demon flying!

"You won't let me kill you? Then I'll kill you!" Li Fan leaped into the air, gripping the Demon-Slaying Staff and roaring, "Li You, you shall be executed! Rising and Falling Strike!"

The Blood Lord immediately unleashed a swarm of root-like blood vessels to block Li You's body!

At the same time Fagui Sword shone brightly! It cleaved the stalactite pillar in two with a single strike!

Li Fan glared, and the Blood Lord hiding behind the pillar trembled violently. Suddenly, he swung his body! The blood vessels in Li You's body cavity burst open! The explosion of blood mist once again blocked Li Fan's vision!

This Blood Lord has indeed gained sentience! In that instant, he actually abandoned most of his physical body Devil Embryo! Only a small, fragmented, blood-red figure remained to escape! With a whoosh, he swept past the altar and rushed straight through it to escape the tunnel!

Holy crap! Could this be the real Blood Shadow Godly Movement Speed?! We're doomed! This is going to be a disaster!

Li Fan gritted his teeth, determined to peel off another layer of skin and relentlessly pursue the demon-slaying demon!

Right at this moment!

A crane's cry pierced the sky! A white figure shot out from the altar passageway and pounced on the blood-red shadow who was trying to escape!

Two shadows, one white and one red, collided instantly! A dazzling light flashed forth!

Li Fan stared at the flashing light, finding it incredibly dazzling and impossible to look directly at! He couldn't help but close all three eyes to shield his eyes, but the light seemed to pierce straight into the heavens and earth!

A blinding white light burst forth! Then, flashes of black light appeared in an instant! Black and white alternated! Day and night became indistinguishable!

Li Fan felt as if the Divine Sense! Lightning flashed and thunder roared! Black and white light flickered and churned before his eyes!

Unable to hold on any longer, he collapsed to the ground and vomited violently with a loud "Ugh!"

After vomiting all over the ground, Li Fan finally felt a little better. When he looked up, he realized that the flashing black and white light had stopped, and the system's reporting had also ceased.

After playing the pillar-circling game with the Blood Lord for only a short while, about three to five minutes, Li Fan's mood dropped to 400 points.

Fortunately, the Blood Lord has already been killed.

Li Fan turned his head and saw that the blood vessels had turned charcoal-colored, and at the tunnel exit, he could vaguely see a layer of human-shaped black ash, like graphite scattered on the ground.

Holy crap...

What was that just now? Was it some kind of spell? Did the abbot intervene?

Li Fan didn't understand for a moment. He stood up, supporting himself against the ghost. He was truly exhausted, both physically and mentally, and felt dizzy and lightheaded. All he wanted to do was lie down and sleep.

This is a bit of a problem. I was hoping to get some nutritious mutton, but I didn't get any benefit from it and almost let the sheep escape and cause trouble! Sigh, it seems that winning against stronger opponents is too much of a gamble, too greedy, too arrogant... If I can get through this ordeal, I need to calm my mind, cultivate tranquility, and firmly uphold my Daoist principles...

Knowing he was still in the midst of a bloodbath and his life was in danger at any moment, this was not the time to let his guard down. Although he wasn't in good condition, Li Fan could only grit his teeth and force himself to stay alert.

Then another groan came from behind.

Li Fan frowned, turned around, and was utterly shocked.

Can you believe it?! Li You is still alive!

Although his chest was ripped open, his throat was torn in two, and countless organs and blood vessels inside his body had been drained by the Blood Lord, he simply did not die!

Well, as expected, he has a bit of destiny in his destiny. Five years is a little less, but it's still the fate of a proper emperor. This destiny is truly strong...

Li Fan stepped forward to take a look and found that the boy was biting a piece of Tai Sui tightly in his mouth, staring at him with a look of despair.

Was his life extended by the Grand Duke Jupiter?

Li Fan looked at him and asked, "Do you know someone named Li Yi?"

Li You continued to stare at him, unsure if she could still understand his question. Her eyes were filled with despair and emptiness, but there was still a sliver of persistence left.

He didn't want to die.

"... Alright, I'll trade you some Tai Sui to boost your spirits with some emergency medicine, and we'll fight our way out. The rest is up to everyone's fate."
