Chapter 175
Dragon Tiger True Person's voice was booming, his energy was at its peak, and his cultivation had improved considerably compared to two years ago.
"Excellent! It's Dragon Tiger True Person! With him here, what do we have to fear from the Xia Kingdom's princess?"
"Dragon Tiger Sect, you must stand up for us! The Xia Kingdom princess is going too far!"
"Dragon Tiger True Person, if you can help me defeat the Xia Kingdom's princess, my Golden Elephant Kingdom is willing to offer up 50% of the spoils of this battle and surrender to the Dragon Tiger Sect!"
Upon seeing the appearance of Dragon Tiger True Person, the cultivators from the eight kingdoms suddenly seemed to have found their pillar of support and began to fawn over him.
Among the people from Xia Kingdom, Sheng Bailan looked at the majestic Dragon Tiger True Person in the sky with a puzzled expression.
Two years ago, she had clearly beaten this person half to death; normally, it would take at least a hundred years for him to recover. So why did Dragon Tiger True Person suddenly jump out and oppose them again so quickly?
But no matter what, she will not allow Xiao Minghuang to suffer even the slightest harm while she is here today!
"Dragon Tiger True Person, Sect Master Sheng spared your life back then, but instead of repenting, you want to cause more trouble. Do you really not want to live anymore?"
Xiao Minghuang narrowed her beautiful eyes and coldly rebuked.
"Hmph! What is Sheng Bailan? I am already at the seventh level of the Primal Embryo Realm. So what if I have mastered the Major Accomplishment Perfection of Sword Intent? I will annihilate her with a single palm strike!"
Dragon Tiger True Person smiled confidently.
The moment the words were spoken, a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out.
"Oh? Is that so? Major Accomplishment sword intent can't kill you, what about Great Perfection sword intent?"
The next moment, a dazzling beam of pure white sword light pierced through the void and headed straight for Dragon Tiger True Person.
"Um?"
Dragon Tiger True Person's expression changed. Without saying a word, he moved his hands, and two large golden handprints condensed in the void, striking horizontally towards the golden light.
Rumble!
An explosion rang out, and in the sky, gold and silver intertwined to form a dazzling rainbow pattern.
Where the two collided, a blinding light burst forth, dazzlingly bright.
"The sword intent at its Great Perfection... is terrifying indeed!"
Dragon Tiger True Person let out a muffled groan, his face turning pale, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He never expected that even with the help of the True Demon of the Southern Wilderness, after breaking through to the seventh level of the Primordial Embryo Realm, he would still be no match for Sheng Bailan!
Moreover, what he found even more unbelievable was that Sheng Bailan's Major Accomplishment of sword intent had already reached perfection!
Such a level of understanding of swordsmanship is truly astonishing!
Looking at the disheveled state of Dragon Tiger True Person, Xiao Minghuang said coldly:
"Dragon Tiger True Person, you have repeatedly disrupted the peace of the Southern Border and concealed the existence of evil spirits within the sect. What are your true intentions?!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the cultivators from the eight countries all changed.
Evil!
This is a taboo in the Southern Border, like a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone.
Two years ago, outside the secret realm, the Xia Kingdom princess mentioned this matter, but at that time her strength was weak and no one paid attention.
But things are different now. The Xia Kingdom princess is now at the Spirit Seed Realm, and no one dares to ignore her voice anymore.
"I don't believe the Xia Kingdom princess's words. She must be framing the Dragon Tiger Sect!"
"The Xia Kingdom and the Dragon Tiger Sect have a long-standing feud; the Xia Kingdom princess's words cannot be trusted!"
"How is that possible?! Dragon Tiger True Person is like my second parents, how could he possibly be hiding evil spirits?!"
The monks from the eight countries all offered explanations for the Dragon Tiger True Person.
However, the Dragon Tiger True Person, who was at the center of the vortex, suddenly let out a strange, sinister laugh.
"Hehehehe... The great men of the Southern Wilderness will descend in a moment, and at that time you will all be sacrificed with blood, and the entire Southern Border will become a demonic land of true demons!"
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, still unable to react, when Dragon Tiger True Person suddenly roared, unleashing an extremely evil aura. Clumps of blood mist surged from his body, instantly transforming into a rain of blood that fell like raindrops.
The blood-red raindrops rapidly condensed in mid-air into a massive, blood-red humanoid skeleton, exuding an evil Sha Qi.
Now that things have come to this, he no longer hides his Demonic True Body!
"The Demonic True Body! Dragon Tiger True Person is truly a demon!"
Everyone who witnessed this scene was utterly shocked.
"What's going on?! Wasn't Dragon Tiger True Person here to support us? How did he suddenly turn into a demon?!"
The monks from the eight countries were terrified.
"Could it be... that the Xia Kingdom princess's words were actually true?!"
Among the monks from the eight countries, some were filled with deep regret.
"Brothers, stop talking and run!"
Many of the monks from the eight countries had already fled in panic.
"A bunch of idiots!"
The moment the Blood-colored Skeleton materialized, it absorbed the lives of hundreds and thousands of cultivators; their flesh and blood became nourishment, which was then absorbed by Dragon Tiger True Person.
"The Blood Demon Path, one of the Six Paths of Demonic Ways, feeds on the flesh and bones of others, making it the most bloody, cruel, and deadliest of the Outer Dao!"
At this moment, the Medicine King arrived late and said in surprise.
Seeing the Medicine King finally arrive, Xiao Minghuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he anticipated that there must be a conspiracy behind this rescue of the Fire Dragon Country, he did not know what the conspiracy was. Therefore, he not only asked Sheng Bailan to accompany him, but also instructed the Medicine King to settle the Innate Pure Yang Fire Dragon Fruit Tree before rushing to provide support.
"How's it going?"
"Your Highness, rest assured, the Tree Spirit has agreed that as long as Great Xia can provide a safe and stable environment, he is willing to be transplanted to Great Xia territory."
Xiao Minghuang nodded, then turned her gaze back to the Blood-colored Skeleton.
This is an incarnation of a blood demon, exuding a strong bloody stench from head to toe. Its strength has also greatly increased, reaching the peak of the Primal Embryo Realm.
"Minghuang, this Blood-colored Skeleton is a bit troublesome."
Sheng Bailan flew over and stood beside Xiao Minghuang, frowning as she spoke.
"If I were to join forces with Sect Master Sheng, perhaps we could exchange blows with him."
The Medicine King spoke.
However, at this moment, Xiao Minghuang looked at the huge Blood-colored Skeleton with a doubtful expression and asked:
Why isn't it moving?
Upon hearing this statement...
Both the Medicine King and Sheng Bailan were taken aback.
Yes!
Why is Dragon Tiger True Person still?
In the very next moment.
They then understood.
All I saw was...
Lei Zhen, who was originally surrounded by everyone, turned into a pool of blood, disappeared into the earth, and vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.
The next moment, he appeared on the shoulder of the Blood-colored Skeleton.
"Hahahaha! You cultivators from the Southern Border, you shall become nourishment for my Blood Demon Path, offering up your insignificant lives!"
At this moment, Lei Zhen was completely controlled by the Blood Demon Path. He laughed wildly, his body flashing with blood-red light, and countless drops of blood splashed out from his body, spreading across the sky.
Having lost his blood, he seemed to wither away, merging into the Blood-colored Skeleton.
If Xiao Minghuang hadn't intervened, Lei Zhen would have advanced to the Primal Embryo Realm by summoning the True Demon of the Southern Wilderness.
But after the unexpected turn of events, he could only serve as nourishment for the Blood Demon Path, contributing his meager share of power.
Before Xiao Minghuang could see clearly, drops of blood exploded in mid-air, blooming like blood flowers, radiating an eerily red hue.
In an instant.
The world was filled with the vibrant color of red.
The Blood-colored Skeleton raised its head, roared to the sky, and a surge of blood energy shot into the heavens.
The countless Nine Nations Allied Army suddenly went berserk, rushing in from all directions and surrounding them. They exuded a sinister and bloodthirsty aura and had completely lost their minds!
"Blood Demon Seed!"
Xiao Minghuang was immediately startled, remembering that the Second Prince had been implanted with this technique by an evil cultivator, which had controlled his mind!
Her face was grim; she hadn't expected that these millions of cultivators from the nine kingdoms would all be controlled by the Blood Demon Path...
"Alas, I told you all to leave quickly, but not one of you listened to my advice."
Xiao Minghuang sighed softly, her feelings complicated.
Under the influence of the Blood Demon Seed, even cultivators at the Spirit Seed Realm were not immune. Their auras surged, their bodies reeked of blood, and their flesh and blood seemed to turn into a puddle of mud as they used their own bodies as tools to charge towards them.
Sheng Bailan swept her sword out horizontally, the sword light dazzling, like a crescent moon swirling, reaping a large number of cultivators from the nine kingdoms.
"This... battles between cultivators generally don't involve close combat, but these... Blood Demon Path puppets are using their own bodies as weapons... they've completely lost their minds!"
Sheng Bailan, the Medicine King, the Twenty-Eight Star Officials, and all the worshippers looked at Xiao Minghuang.
"Your Highness, what should we do given the current situation?"
Xiao Minghuang's eyes flickered slightly, and she quickly made a decision.
"We will fight and retreat, leading the Blood-colored Skeleton into the territory of Great Xia."
"Medicine King, you retreat first and oversee the evacuation of the nearby residents!"
"Bai Lan, stay by my side!"
"My lords, do not exert your full strength, proceed with caution!"
"Twenty-Eight Star Officials, form the formation!"
Xiao Minghuang quickly assigned responsibilities to everyone.
"Yes!"
Everyone responded enthusiastically.
The Medicine King nodded, and his entire body burst into blazing flames, making him resemble a ball of starlight. He pierced through countless Blood Demon Puppet and headed straight for the Great Xia Dynasty.
Watching the Medicine King's departing figure, Xiao Minghuang's expression became extremely heavy.
Next, they will face a tough battle!

Rumble!
The earth trembled, dust flew, and the Blood Demon Puppet surged wildly. Wave after wave of Blood Demon Puppet, like a tsunami, swept in, making people feel suffocated.
Xiao Minghuang's gaze sharpened, and with a single sword strike, a thousand sword shadows appeared, densely packed like a net, slicing countless Blood Demon Puppet into pieces!
But those Blood Demon Puppet she shattered were like severed worms; their flesh and blood wriggled on their own, reforming and stitching together into even more twisted, indescribable, and disgusting monsters!
"Damn it, how can there be so much of this stuff!"
Sheng Bailan roared, brandishing her silver-white longsword. The Sword Qi whistled as she slashed fiercely at the clumps of flesh, shredding them again and again, only to have them reform again and again.
"There are so many of these Blood Demon Puppet, it's impossible to kill them all. After we kill them, they'll merge into even more powerful monsters!"
"Princess, what should we do!"
The worshippers were extremely anxious and asked repeatedly.
"Everyone, calm down. Don't rush. Focus on defense and get back to Great Xia territory as soon as possible!"
