Blood Soul Bewitching Heart

The three men's faces were grim, and then they entered the second room.

Pushing open the wooden door, the environment was the same, all scenes left by the sacrifices, with evil symbols drawn everywhere.

However, in this room, there was a man on a chair, bound with his hands behind his back, his head gone.

Chen Xia's expression was blank. None of the three spoke and continued to investigate.

Most of the way, it was like this. In one room, there was a remnant identity card on the ground, which had been burned. Prying open the burnt dust on the ground and a half-burnt mosquito coil, he picked up the identity card and examined it. He could only see that it was a male; nothing else was clear.

It indicated that the deceased here was also a male. According to recent missing person cases, Edel should have been conducting experiments all along, and finally resorted to using women for sacrifices.

The basement was very long. It could be seen that the surroundings were supported by steel plates and round wooden pillars, preventing it from collapsing. There were more than a dozen rooms all the way, all with similar scenes, like a slaughterhouse.

Some rooms had photos of the deceased before their death on the ground, some with arms crossed, some with couples holding children, or some farmers. Occasionally, writing would be left on the walls, writing "Great Blood God"...

As they continued to go deeper, the last room was completely a septic tank, with rotting biological matter vaguely visible inside, making Jiang Xinglan inwardly curse, "A bunch of beasts!"

Lin Qinghan also had a look of anger on her face. At some unknown time, a green bead appeared in the palm of her right hand, and her fist was clenched tightly.

At the end of the path, a staircase leading down appeared.

The three continued to move stealthily, arriving at the second basement level. Suddenly, the three stood still.

They vaguely heard footsteps approaching them from a distance.

When the footsteps neared the second-floor stairs, they paused. The three felt a jolt in their hearts. Had they been discovered? Just as Lin Qinghan was about to use her invisibility technique, the footsteps sounded again.

Immediately, a tall figure appeared, revealing half of his body. He turned his head and saw the three of them.

However, before he could even shout, a dagger was inserted into his neck, piercing through. Then came the second stab, to the heart.

The man fell on the stairs with a slight sound. Not long after, another figure walked out of the corridor. As he approached, Jiang Xinglan flashed, and the opponent fell.

Finding no one ahead, the three continued on their way.

Ah! At this moment, a piercing scream came from the depths. After walking more than ten meters, the three arrived at the door of a room and immediately saw a scene that made their blood run cold.

This room was structured like a hall, capable of accommodating dozens of people. Wooden poles and stone blocks supported the iron plate above.

In the center of the hall stood a huge stone altar, covered with strange runes.

More than twenty young girls were bound and thrown on the ground, crowded around the altar.

Their wrists had been cut open, and blood flowed along the grooves on the ground towards the center of the altar. There were also six men in black robes, also gathered around the altar. They wore ferocious masks and held blood-dripping daggers in their hands.

The six men chanted incantations, and the inside was a cacophony, mixed with the screams of women. On the outer periphery, more than a dozen people from the Gathering Justice Mercenary Group knelt on the ground, also praying devoutly.

On the earthen wall on the far left, there was a mirror about two meters square, emitting wisps of blood mist. Beside it, a middle-aged foreign man in a black robe with a fair complexion was chanting to the mirror in a hoarse voice: "With pure blood as the guide, with the soul of fear as the sacrifice, we welcome the Blood God's descent!"

The man made gestures with his hands, drawing symbols. His body also emitted a surge of blood energy, which stained the blood of the girls on the ground, causing the entire altar to seem to emit a red light.

The bound girls' eyes rolled back, and smoke rose from their bodies, as if something was being extracted from them.

"The time has come!" Edel, the leader, shouted excitedly, "Great Blood God, come out..."

The blood on the altar turned into mist and surged towards the mirror.

Edel also held a basin in his hand, containing the blood of a girl born in a yin year, yin month, and yin hour. Only sufficient yin evil could connect with the Blood God's energy.

As he drew the talismans, the blood in the basin also flowed into the mirror. Then, the mirror seemed to be activated, emitting a brilliant light. Inside, a ferocious red facial feature appeared. The mirror reflected a pair of blood-red and indifferent pupils, which scanned towards them.

Instantly, the temperature in the entire room plummeted, as if the mirror had opened a passage to this world.

Blood God?

Seeing this scene, Chen Xia felt his heart about to leap out of his chest. The entire room was filled with an evil, cold aura. He felt his consciousness trembling, as if it was about to be pulled out.

Just then, something shot over from a distance. A dagger flew towards the mirror. Edel's expression changed slightly, but he didn't make a move. As the dagger approached the mirror, it was automatically repelled.

Everyone then noticed someone breaking in at the dark entrance.

"Kill them!" Edel was not flustered, but said coldly.

The people from the Gathering Justice Mercenary Group were the first to charge. They had been waiting for Edel to finish so they could receive the reward of essence blood. They didn't expect someone to ruin their good deed. Cao Yi waved his hand, and more than a dozen warriors charged.

"You protect him," Jiang Xinglan instructed Lin Qinghan, then charged forward.

Cao Yi and the others scoffed when they saw it was a woman, not taking her seriously at all. But they never dreamed that this woman was so fierce.

She looked young, with a short knife in her hand, moving like a phantom. With the first strike, she stabbed a squad leader-level figure to death.

Then came the second person. Jiang Xinglan punched him in the chest. The man, weighing over two hundred pounds, was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily against the earthen wall, causing the entire room to tremble, and some dust fell from above. The basement seemed on the verge of collapse.

A man wielding a large saber charged forward. His saber could even cut through steel bars, but he couldn't even touch the opponent's shadow. Then, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. By the time he reacted, he had been heavily kicked into the back wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood and dying on the spot.

Whoosh!

Another burly man flew out. Jiang Xinglan's fist and foot techniques were formidable; her attacks were instantly fatal. Chen Xia and Lin Qinghan stood by, with no chance to make a move. Jiang Xinglan was like a barrier, reflecting all who came.

Cao Yi turned his head and saw several brothers die tragically, unable to withstand even one move. Even with his Grade 2 warrior strength, seeing this scene, he didn't dare to go forward. Knowing that this matter was difficult to resolve, he shouted for everyone to attack, while he himself turned and ran through a small door behind them.

There was a small door in the hall, which led to other secret rooms and the way out. After Cao Yi fled, the people of Gathering of Righteousness reacted. A few of them immediately ran away as well.

"I'll chase them!" Chen Xia said.

"The entire Tongxin Village has been surrounded. They can't escape." Just as Chen Xia was about to chase Cao Yi and the others, Jiang Xinglan pulled him back.

"Heh, you've got some strength. Have these girls stop them!" Edel's hoarse voice echoed again.

Six Night God Sect disciples had untied the girls and cast an evil technique. A large amount of blood mist emerged from their bodies and seeped into the bound girls. These girls immediately lost consciousness, then all stood up and rushed forward, blocking the doorway.

These victims, once controlled, would bite frantically. This gave Jiang Xinglan a headache; she could kill others, but not these kidnapped individuals.

With over twenty girls blocking the door, Jiang Xinglan and the others couldn't get in for a while. Normally, she could kick them all away with one foot, but not now. If she used too much force, she might kill them.

The six Night God Sect disciples controlled the girls. At the same time, they exchanged glances, suddenly exuded blood mist from their bodies, and began casting the Blood Soul Bewitching Heart technique on Jiang Xinglan.

Streams of red shadows lunged forward, colliding with Jiang Xinglan. She concentrated her mind, let out a fierce roar, and repelled the six blood shadows.

The blurry blood shadows began attacking the second person, but Lin Qinghan was also a Grade 3 sorcerer and could naturally resist.

"Control the person behind you; he's the weakest mentally!"

The six disciples exchanged glances and then simultaneously attacked Chen Xia, intending to control him and backstab Jiang Xinglan and the other.

Just as Jiang Xinglan pushed away a few girls, more came at her, biting frantically. She had to divide her attention to deal with them when she saw six blood shadows crawling from the ceiling, circling around, and flying down into Chen Xia's body.

Chen Xia was behind them. If he were controlled, they would be in a very difficult situation, attacked from both front and back.

Lin Qinghan also glanced at Chen Xia and saw his eyes were blood red, as if undergoing a mutation. She quickly grabbed Chen Xia's arm, preventing him from losing control.

The six blood shadows impacted Chen Xia's mind, plunging him into a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Unlike last time, this time there were six crimson full moons in the sky, and six evil, towering red figures appeared out of nowhere before him.

In the illusion, Chen Xia spread his hands, nailed to a blood-stained cross by giant spikes. He looked at the six figures before him, one of whose eyes looked a little familiar.

The other party also looked slightly puzzled, then said coldly, "It's you!"

A man from the Night God Sect recognized Chen Xia.

The Blood Soul Bewitching Heart they cast was not just a simple illusion; it could enter the opponent's spiritual world, and the aura of one's spiritual world could not be faked.

The Night God Sect man looked at Chen Xia as if he were already dead, sneering, "So it was you who fought me last time, making me recuperate for several days. But it doesn't matter, you're going to die here today anyway, heh heh."
