In this world, the Beichen Sword Sect is second to none in understanding the Blood Talisman God Sect's Cultivation Method... Oh, well, the Blood Talisman Cult does dare to claim to be number one.

Li Fan has fought his way up to this point, not to mention the Blood God Child, and he has also witnessed several moves of the Blood Talisman Sword, but this Blood Demon Great Path Body Technique is indeed something he is experiencing for the first time, and the information that Moon Soul can provide is extremely limited.

After all, Rabbit's intelligence all came from the many Northern Star Divine Swords on Yuntai Peak, and the history of those divine swords was incomparable to that of the Four Great Sword Lords. They were all forged by Xuan Tian, and Profound Heaven Sword Intent seemed to have never seen this most superior of the three skills of the Divine Sect.

According to the rabbit, the characteristics of the three great divine skills in the Blood Record Heavenly Book are very clear.

The Blood God Child Great Law is the ultimate way to preserve one's life. It allows one to create clones, hide, escape, relinquish possession, and invade with one's primordial spirit. The Xuanmen sect has very few techniques that can perfectly counter and completely kill the Blood God Child, and they are even more difficult to cultivate. Therefore, the Blood God Child Great Law is the most popular among the Divine Sects. Apart from the fact that it is painful to practice and often involves skin peeling, it is almost perfect.

The Blood Record Sword Scripture is hailed as the strongest swordsmanship in the world, capable of directly defeating Beichen Sword Sect Northern Star Sword Sect. Although its actual combat record against Xuanmen masters was mixed, sword fights ultimately depend on the individual, and since it was a swordsmanship that the Divine Lord comprehended from the Northern Star Sword Technique, like the Sword Sect, it placed stringent requirements on the cultivator's comprehension. However, overall, its power is worthy of the name of a heavenly book, and it can be considered a deadly technique that almost every master of the Divine Sect possesses.

As for the Blood Register Divine Lord's Great Dao Body, although this technique is powerful, it is extremely dangerous and difficult to cultivate, with endless tribulations. It often requires abandoning the cultivation and starting over. In the history of the Divine Sect, only ambitious and arrogant people would choose this method, hiding in some remote mountain valley to cultivate in seclusion. Once they have cultivated it and emerged into the world, even if they only reach the Divine Transformation stage, they are almost like earthly tribulations, an immortal and indestructible blood demon, which often causes great damage to the Xuanmen.

However, in Xuan Tian's generation, the Xuanmen (mystical sect) overwhelmed the Shenjiao (divine sect), relentlessly slaughtering the Shenjiao members and even destroying the entire mountain. Therefore, none of the Shenjiao members were foolish enough to increase the difficulty of the game for themselves; everyone prioritized survival. When the fighting started, it was a chaotic free-for-all, with countless Blood God Child running away, impossible to catch...

However, although Liu Daoming of Hengshan used the Divine Sect's ultimate technique, the Blood Demon Great Path Body, he was still far from being a true 'Blood Demon'. Although his speed, strength, and various basic attributes had greatly improved, and his Hundred Peaks True Form Fist had given Li Fan quite a bit of trouble, Li Fan could tell the difference after fighting him with his sword for three or five rounds.

Liu Daoming's swordsmanship was poor; he could barely withstand a single blow. If it weren't for his divine skill that allowed him to restore his physical body, he would have been killed by Liu Daoming's lightning sword style long ago. He was far inferior to Penglai Shizai.

In the short time that followed, Li Fan had already pierced seven or eight holes in his opponent's body with the Flowing Rain Sword. The wounds were also scorched by the Azure Yang Dao Fire, burning out a fire hole. Only the blood-colored Dao Power forcibly suppressed the fire, preventing the azure flames from spreading.

Besides suppressing the sword wound, Liu Daoming was also almost unable to avoid Li Fan's subsequent thrusts. He could only rely on the attributes of the Blood Demon Great Path Body to forcibly avoid the throat, lungs, and vital acupoints around his body. At the same time, he swung the Hengshan Sword, unleashing a wide range of blood-red Sword Light while wielding the sword. He swept and slashed wildly, ignoring Li Fan's swordsmanship and fighting his own set of moves. Although he was hit by the sword many times, he also forced Li Fan to dodge the opponent's sword moves immediately after hitting him, and was unable to launch a series of attacks.

Then a red figure appeared in the arena, wielding a four-foot-long sword and spinning around, releasing a large amount of blood-red sword light. Meanwhile, a white figure, like a bee or butterfly, darted and leaped through the Sword Light, occasionally thrusting with azure flames that pierced and ignited the red figure, before withdrawing and leaving, gracefully passing through a field of flowers without a single petal touching it.

The reason for this overwhelming situation is not that Liu Daoming is too weak or that the Blood Demon Great Path Body is not strong. On the contrary, there are very few people who can withstand three or five moves from Li Fan's sword these days. This shows that the Blood Demon Great Path Body is really strong, and Liu Daoming is indeed True Cultivator of the Xuanmen!

Okay, I'm not exaggerating. In terms of swordsmanship, Liu Daoming and Shi Zai Godly Monarch, who are skilled in swordsmanship, are indeed no match. But the main reason is that the Heavenly Pillar Sword Technique used by Liu Daoming is obviously not compatible with the Blood Demon Great Path Body.

He was currently trapped within the Tai Xuan Dao Grand Formation, unable to utilize his true Hengshan skills. He decisively abandoned his cultivation and switched to the demonic arts of the Divine Sect, which allowed him to generate Dao power to activate the Heavenly Pillar Sword Technique. However, since it was not a matching set of Cultivation Method and swordsmanship, the Sword Light moved in various ways, appearing full of flaws in Li Fan's eyes. This allowed him to deal damage without taking any harm, making him appear to be in complete control.

Even so, Liu Daoming was still able to maintain a stalemate with Li Fan, and it was obvious that he was also in a very comfortable position. Li Fan repeatedly thrust his sword, but could not cause any real damage to the Blood Demon Great Path Body. The Dao Body could be reassembled after being scattered. Even if the wound was ignited with Dao Fire, as long as the blood light extinguished the Qingyang Dao Fire, the Dao Body could be repaired instantly.

On the contrary, Liu Daoming's swordsmanship was constantly improving—no, not improving, but recovering!

Instead of engaging Li Fan in direct combat, he focused entirely on wielding his sword, practicing the routine moves of the Heavenly Pillar Sword Technique. While defending against Li Fan's pursuit, he also recovered his strength, familiarized himself with his new Dao body, and adjusted the Dao power of the Divine Sect to adapt to the Heavenly Pillar Sword Technique! If Li Fan couldn't seize this opportunity to inflict substantial damage, then if things dragged on a little longer, Liu Daoming would likely fully master the Blood Demon Great Path Body and unleash the true power of the Heavenly Pillar Sword Technique, launching a counterattack!

The situation was extremely serious, but Li Fan remained calm, because Liu Daoming was adapting to the Dao body, and so was he!

Although Li Fan was using lightning-fast sword techniques to launch the assassination, he was also using the <Tai Xuan Death Gate Qingyang Divine Art> to activate the <<Beichen Qi Sword True Formula>>!

Previously, Li Fan's sword energy was based on the five elements refined from the basic sword energy of Mo Shan, or the Qiankun two elements formed by the fusion of the five elements. But now, under the Tai Xuan system, a new Cultivation Method was adapted for Daoist Qiongqi, resulting in the cultivation of the Qingyang True Essence and Qingyang Dao Fire from the old demon's school. This is a special Cultivation Method that caused the change in the azure Dao Fire, a true energy with special attributes. It doesn't seem to be among the nine energies of Taiji, but it should be an energy form that can exist within the Tai Xuan Dao system. That's probably why Daoist Qiongqi was able to obtain the <<Tai Xuan Scripture>>, right?

Li Fan wasn't entirely clear on the composition of this true energy, so he couldn't apply the meridian techniques of the <Ink Mountain Basic Sword Qi>, nor could he use the <Sword Transformation Guide> which targets the Nine Qi of Taiji. Therefore, Li Fan referred to the basic <<Beichen Qi Sword True Formula>> and didn't transform the Azure Yang Dao Fire. Instead, he first used the Qi Sword technique to attach it to the Flowing Rain Sword Blade as an enchantment to add damage.

Therefore, Li Fan wasn't just randomly stabbing; he was also simultaneously studying the properties of the Azure Yang Dao Fire and its effects on the Blood Demon Great Path Body.

Therefore, this is the crucial moment when Li Fan and Liu Daoming are competing in their comprehension!

Only those who first grasp and master their own power can turn defeat into victory!

As for comprehension, if Li Fan admits to being second, then no one can claim to be first! Not only was he the first to comprehend his own power, but he also learned the Hengshan Tianzhu Sword Technique! Damn it, he just kept showing off the same sword technique over and over in front of him? Was he afraid that Li Fan wouldn't be able to learn it or what?!

"Tai Xuan Qingyang Sword Art!"

After twenty rounds of fighting, Li Fan calculated an opening and feigned a lunge to thrust forward, luring out the Heavenly Pillar Sword Technique's block. However, he suddenly changed his move! He stepped back and leaped, transforming his thrust into a slash! The flames on the Flowing Rain Sword blazed fiercely, turning into white light! With the added power of the leaping motion, the sword slashed down!

"What!"

Liu Daoming was caught off guard! The Heavenly Pillar Sword Technique was a step too slow, and Li Fan had completely anticipated it, leaving him wide open. He was struck by the Flowing Rain Sword, which cut him in two, shoulder and head! And most importantly, this time the Dao Fire was extremely intense, directly evaporating the blood from the wound on the Blood Demon Great Path Body!

Alright! Li Fan remembered that last time, the Qingyang Old Demon unleashed a powerful attack that boiled the sea, demonstrating the considerable power of the Qingyang Dao Fire. Furthermore, the cultivation of the Divine Cultivation Method all revolved around the element of 'blood'. If the Tai Xuan Dao transformed into the energies of water, fire, earth, wind, life, and death, then the fundamental reason why the Divine Sect's Cultivation Method could still operate within the Tai Xuan Grand Array was that they too had transformed their entire bodies into 'blood'!

Note that it is blood, not just water. Blood is composed of plasma and blood cells. In addition to a large amount of water, plasma also contains inorganic salts, plasma proteins, lipoproteins, and various other nutrients. Blood cells include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Li Fan hadn't read the Blood Record Heavenly Book, nor did he know the rules and spells of this other world. But surely not everyone in this world had the same blood type? This Blood Demon Great Path Body had directly fused several people together—wouldn't there be a hemolytic reaction? But since you insist on using 'blood,' there must be corresponding mechanistic limitations, right? Wouldn't high-temperature burning damage cells, denature proteins, or evaporate the blood plasma?

Therefore, when Li Fan used Dao Fire to burn the wounds a few times before, he paid special attention to the condition of the Blood Demon Great Path Body's wounds. Sure enough, the Dao Fire was extinguished first, and then the wounds were restored. Bright red blood would fill the wounds at the burned areas, which clearly meant that the original blood could not be used! This showed that the high temperature was effective!

Seizing the opportunity, Li Fan pushed the high-temperature properties of the Azure Yang Dao Fire to their limit! With a single sword strike, he inflicted a devastating wound, cleaving Liu Daoming in two! The wounds were scorched by the intense heat, bursting into raging flames!

"The Blood Demon rises again!"

But to everyone's surprise, Liu Daoming also roared! His Dao body, which had been cut in two, disintegrated again, abandoning the parts that had been burned and exhausted, and reformed into a human form!

Tsk! It wasn't that simple after all! It seems that as long as the Dao Heart remains intact, this Great Dao Body can rise again and again! But it doesn't matter! We'll just slowly wear down its blood!

"Tai Xuan Qingyang Sword Art strikes again!"

Having gained the upper hand, Li Fan pressed his advantage! He unleashed another powerful slash, chasing after the Blood Demon Great Path Body and cleaving it in two!

"The Blood Demon rises again!" roared the man's head, now split in two!

Holy crap! Seriously, when will this ever end?!

"I, Qingyang, will strike again and again!"

"Aaaaaah--! The Blood Demon rises again!" Countless human faces burst forth from the flesh and blood, roaring!

"Slash again and again, holy crap!?"

It can't cut! The sword actually burned through!

The Flowing Rain Sword let out a mournful cry. Being a ninth-grade flying sword, it couldn't withstand the blazing Azure Sun Flame! The sword shattered! Truly trash!

"Haaaaaah! The Blood Demon rises again--!!" Liu Daoming seized the opportunity and reshaped his true form!

"I still have more!"

Li Fan, caught up in the fray, flipped his hand, took out his sword case, and with a flick of his wrist, a golden light flashed in his palm— the Zhu Hong was unsheathed!

"Tai Xuan Qingyang Sword Art! Slash!!"

Enveloped in pure white light and blazing flames! Azure flames and fierce winds! Zhu Hong pierced the newly gathered Blood Demon Skeleton with his sword! Shattering its skull instantly!

"Aaaaaah! Blood Demon! Great Dao Body!!"

Liu Daoming's original voice was almost indistinguishable; it was as if hundreds of demons and monsters roared in unison, and a sea of blood gathered together to form a ghostly claw that pierced Li Fan's shoulder and ribs!

"Ha! You think you can take me away?! Zhuo! Come on!"

Li Fan's body was pierced by the blood claw, which then surged into his blood vessels! In an instant, veins bulged on his face as if a blood python had burrowed into it! His expression was ferocious! But he roared, gripping the Zhu Hong! Without dodging or avoiding, he thrust straight at the oncoming blood demon!

Liu Daoming's face emerged from the sea of blood, roaring at Li Fan like a demon!

"I, Liu Daoming, bear the weight of Hengshan's fate! I have the ambition to rebuild the Xuanmen! I have the responsibility to restore order to the world! I will also exterminate the demonic path! I will also save the common people! I will also defy fate! I absolutely cannot die in such a place! Aaaaaah! Blood Demon again--!!"

Damn it! You think you can't die unless your Dao heart is shattered? Fine! It's just talk-no-jutsu! I can do that too!

"The righteous path! The common people! Ha! What's useful to you, even Tai Xuan is the righteous path! What's useless to you, even those wearing yellow robes are demonic!"

For so many years, Gen Province has been in chaos, and no one has cared how many people have joined the Yellow Heaven Dao Path. Oh, now that you see Emei has run away, you're scared! You come to me saying that the Yellow Heaven's demon is about to descend upon the world! There's no time to save everyone! For the sake of all living beings, some sacrifices must be made!

What's wrong with you! You're panicking now that the version has abandoned you! Your luck is running out and you're trying to defy fate! You can't beat them and you're yelling about eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path! Where the hell were you all before?!

Come on then! Come on! I am the Demonic Path! I am the Demon Child! I am Destiny! I gave you a fair chance to fight! You dare to come and cut me down! Trying to take my destiny! I gave you a chance but you didn't use it!

You can't win a sword fight! And you still refuse to die? What else do you want? To exorcise demons? What demons?! Surrendering to the Yellow Heaven makes you a demon? Do you think I'm blind?! Those are all human! They're all human!

If you can't predict it, just ignore it! But if you can predict the demon, kill him completely! What kind of righteous path is that?!

Do you really think that if you kill everyone, no one will still choose to join the Yellow Heaven? Do you think that if everyone dies, no one will become a demon?

Do you think this can save your immortal realm and change your fate of following the righteous path?

Liu Daoming! If you have any conscience at all, you might as well just die already!

"Qingyang Qingtian Dahu--!!"

Li Fan roared, his entire body erupting with Azure Yang Dao Fire! He transformed into a blazing white flame, like a scorching sun, igniting the Blood Demon enveloping his entire body!

"No, no, we... we are the ones who are right..."

"Aaaaah! I've screamed myself hoarse, why aren't you dead yet! You're a thousand-year-old ghost! Your doom is upon you, so just give it a quick death! If you lose, accept your fate! Be a man! Be decisive and clean! Die--!"

The power of the Dao surged into the sky! The bursting flames broke free from the sea of blood, like the rising sun, evaporating the blood sea that blotted out the sky, leaving no trace of it!

'Li Fan defeated Liu Daoming in the massacre, his mood increased by 500.'

Current mood: 5.6k/28k, Energy: 20k/28k

"Cough cough cough..."

Blanching... This Blood Demon is finally beyond saving... and his voice is gone too...

Li Fan knelt on the ground, forcibly activating the old demon's ultimate move, but his physical body was still a little weak. His entire skin was blown off, and he was covered in blood. He could only gasp for breath and use his internal energy to force out the remaining demonic blood from his body.

Suddenly, Li Fan felt a chill run down his spine!

He turned his head and saw a burning skeleton standing behind him, holding a divine sword that shone brightly like fire! The sword energy soared into the sky!

Damn it! Of all times, it had to happen again!

"Speak slowly!"

Li Fan roared as he simultaneously activated the grand formation with a powerful wave of his hand!

But the skeleton paid no heed! It attacked simultaneously, thrusting the Zhu Ming Divine Sword towards them!

In that life-or-death moment, the skeleton, along with the Zhu Ming sword, was moved away again!

However, Zhu Mingjian's sword wind still struck out! At this moment, Li Fan had already exhausted his Dao Breath and didn't have time to transform into wind!

So Li Fan took out the Zhu Hong sword and tried to block it!

But Zhu Ming Jianjun's sword power was not to be underestimated! With just a single strike of his sword, he shattered Zhu Hong, severed his arm, and cut Li Fan in two!

"Ha--ha--ha--!"

Li Fan's body was sliced in half by this sword, split in the middle of his spine. The remaining part was broken in two and lay sprawled on the ground, a pool of blood spreading beneath him. His lungs were filled with blood, and he couldn't breathe!

Transform! Transform the gale! As long as you can still transform the gale, you can reshape the Tai Xuan Dao Body!

But suddenly he couldn't sense the Tai Xuan Dao anymore.

The Tai Xuan Gate's mountain-guarding formation has been broken!

Then a Daoist priest in black slowly walked into Li Fan's field of vision; it was none other than Wuzhui!

"Fellow Daoist, you've been careless. Didn't the law tell you that I'm also a local?"

With his hands behind his back, Wuzhui looked at the scene of devastation, a vast swamp of blood, shook his head, and sighed.

"I have devoted myself to studying this Ghost Valley ruins for many years. Although I am not yet able to control the grand formation, destroying it is not a problem. I thought that my research had yielded some results, which could serve as a basis for advancement and infiltrating the upper echelons of Yuntai Peak. But I never expected that I would have such an opportunity to see the true teachings of Tai Xuan Dao. I have truly benefited immensely!"

"Thank you for eliminating the Hengshan followers. It's a pity you're already exhausted and have been attacked by Zhu Ming Jianjun. Your life is hanging by a thread. Why not hand over the <Tai Xuan Scripture> and the Great Evolution Diagram to me, so that the Tai Xuan Dao's unique skills won't be lost? What do you say?"

Blood gushed from Li Fan's mouth and nose as he stared intently at him, "... How did you know I had the <Great Evolution Diagram>?"

The Wu Zhui paused for a moment, then fell silent.

Blood streamed from Li Fan's seven orifices as he stared at him and said, "... Liu Daoming... they practice the Blood Demon Great Path Body... it was you... it was you who used the Blood God Child Great Law's... blood puppet clone... to contact Tianlong Mountain..."

After pondering for a moment, Wu Zhui suddenly smiled broadly, as if boasting to a friend, and said with great satisfaction, "Fellow Daoist is indeed intelligent! Very well, since you've figured it out, I'll let you die knowing why!"

Indeed, Guyeshan lacks ambition, and the Xuanmen sect's fate is sealed. A wise bird chooses its tree to perch on, and I, Wuzhui, have long since submitted to destiny and joined the divine sect!

By the way, it was I who spread the Corpse Poison, forcing Hengshan to take action. This time, using the Death and Life Gate strategy, I will first eliminate the Yellow Heaven Path, secondly, conquer Gushe Kongsang, thirdly, subdue the Heavenly Dragon Death Gate, fourthly, obtain the Tai Xuan True Scripture, and fifthly, seize the opportunity to join the Inner Sect of Shangqing. With such great achievements, I will surely be rewarded with the God Lord Jade! In the future, I will be able to infiltrate the Shangqing Sect and support the Divine Cult's actions, and my future will be limitless! The opportunities will be endless! Haha!

Although I don't know your background, your skills are indeed superb. You were able to see through many of my cult's plans and almost ruined my major schemes. But in the end, I still won this time! Ahahaha! Hahaha! Ahaha..."

The black horse's laughter stopped abruptly.

Because he suddenly heard a clapping sound, like... applause.

Following the sound, Wuzhui turned his head and saw a bald man stepping out of the sedan chair, clapping and nodding, smiling, "You won, you won, congratulations!"

With a wave of his hand, the Daoist Qiongqi on the ground into a gust of wind, which fell back into his palm and transformed into a black epiphyllum flower.

Li Fan nodded kindly to the stunned Wu Zhui.

"Congratulations! You have finally defeated my Tai Xuan clone and broken the Tai Xuan Formation!"

"Don't be afraid, this is my true form now. Show me what you've got."
