Five-Kill Blood Formation (I)

Li Wei had certainly noticed the Wolf King's changes. Clearly, the Wolf King's demeanor indicated that he recognized the Cripple.

However, Li Wei had no idea what the fear in its eyes was about.

At that moment, the Cripple suddenly picked up a steel knife that the wolf demon had dropped from the ground and cut off his own arm.

Instantly, foul blood splattered everywhere, and a visible aura of filth suddenly emerged, reaching the enormous 'Black Lock Shrouds Heaven' in the sky in a matter of moments. With a ripping sound, the once invincible 'Black Lock Shrouds Heaven' rapidly shrank, then lost its luster and fell to the ground.

Li Wei stared in disbelief. While he was still in a daze, the Cripple looked weak and stammered, "I... used... foul... energy to break that... magic weapon! Run!"

Li Wei was well aware of the Cripple's abilities, so he grabbed it and then unleashed his Divine Origin Realm to its fullest extent. With the Cripple in tow, he leaped out of the encirclement of the wolf demons and quickly retreated into the Jungle.

The Wolf King, however, stared in confusion in the direction the two had gone, not quite understanding what was happening.

"It's him... it must be him. Only he could break through this Black Lock Shrouds Heaven... I never thought that such a powerful person would turn into Corpse Jumper... Wait, if he turned into Corpse Jumper, doesn't that mean he no longer has his former divine power? If I kill him and seize his heaven-and-earth-creating technique, I will definitely be able to break through to the Demon King level..." Thinking of this, the Wolf King finally realized what was happening and hurriedly transformed into a Black Wind to chase after him.

Meanwhile, Li Wei, leading the Cripple, had been running for over ten miles. He had intended to rest for a while, but suddenly sensed the Wolf King's demonic aura relentlessly pursuing them, forcing them to continue their escape. The Cripple, however, noticed the approaching black demonic wind behind them, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

Just after the Wolf King appeared, it felt fragmented yet familiar scenes flash through its mind. These memories were scattered and disjointed. The Cripple seemed to understand something, yet it also seemed to remember nothing at all. It understood because it had subconsciously cast a spell, breaking through the Black Lock Shrouds Heaven. But all of this still left it unable to make sense of anything...

It shook its head, looked down and saw Li Wei dragging it along, running desperately. Something else surged into its mind again. It paused, then subconsciously uttered a mantra.

.

Li Wei was already somewhat exhausted when he heard the Cripple's almost muttering voice. He was first stunned, then his face showed a look of horror. Although the Cripple's voice was intermittent, the incantation he spoke of was definitely something very profound. As a master of the Divine Origin Realm, Li Wei naturally recognized that this was a method for using Divine Origin.

Almost instinctively, Li Wei began to activate his divine energy according to the incantation. Then, something strange happened. He felt a sharp pain on the back of Li Wei hand, but the Pain came and went quickly. After completing the incantation, Li Wei looked up and saw that a blood-red character for "kill" had appeared on the back of his hand.

"What... what's going on?" As the word "kill" appeared, Li Wei could feel that his divine essence had shrunk a little, and his cultivation level had been greatly reduced.

Now, Li Wei couldn't help but panic. If it were before, he could still play hide-and-seek with the Wolf King using his powerful cultivation. Although the chance of killing the Wolf King was almost zero, it wouldn't be easy for the Wolf King to catch him. But now, his cultivation had inexplicably decreased by nearly one-fifth, so he was afraid that the Wolf King would catch up with him very soon. The consequences of this were obvious... Looking at the blood-red 'kill' character on the back of his hand, Li Wei felt a mix of emotions. But before he could react, the Cripple started muttering again.

This time, the incantation was clearly different from the last time. After listening to it, Li Wei pondered it repeatedly and was once again shocked. Putting everything else aside, just from the incantation, one could tell that this was an extremely profound spell. At the very least, this incantation was far more profound than the spells recorded in the Nine Yin Transformation Scripture. Moreover, to activate this spell, one had to rely on divine energy, which clearly meant that only a master of the Divine Energy Realm could perform it. However, Li Wei still didn't know what kind of spell it was. And most importantly, how could such a profound and incomprehensible incantation come from the mouth of Cripple, a mere Corpse Jumper?

Li Wei patted the Cripple on the shoulder and voiced his doubts, hoping for a reasonable explanation. However, Li Wei was disappointed because he had made a mistake. When you desperately want an answer to a question, never ask Cripple who is not articulate, especially not someone who, after much hesitation, could only manage, "I... I don't know, I just... wanted to help you..."

Li Wei could only manage a wry smile.

This incantation, though incredibly skillful, served no practical purpose other than consuming one-fifth of my divine energy and leaving a blood-red "kill" character on the back of my hand. Could this character possibly help me kill the Wolf King?

Obviously impossible!

Li Wei, regaining his composure, ignored the Cripple's incantation and continued running.

The wind howled past his ears, and the surrounding trees were just blurry images. Even at this speed, Li Wei could still feel the Wolf King's demonic aura getting closer and closer to him.

"If I keep running like this, it will catch me sooner or later!" Li Wei released his divine sense and then suddenly changed direction, running towards a wilderness.

There is a demonic aura here that is no weaker than that of the Wolf King, indicating that another demon king-level demon resides here. If one were to trespass into the territory of this demon king-level being, there might be a chance to escape the Wolf King's pursuit.

This was the thought that flashed through Li Wei's mind, and it was also the only way to escape at this stage.

.

The Cripple on his back continued to chant the profound incantation from time to time. Although Li Wei did not circulate his divine energy according to the incantation, his excellent memory, coupled with the Cripple's tireless repetition, allowed Li Wei to memorize all the incantations. Apart from the incantation he had used the first time, there were four other incantations, but Li Wei dared not use them again.

A few minutes later, Li Wei's eyes lit up. He was surrounded by an endless grassland, but the grass here was more than half a person tall. Running through the grass at high speed would leave a beautiful ripple, but for Li Wei, the grass, which was more than half a person tall, had many advantages, except that it brought him some inconvenience. At least, he could easily hide his figure by bending over.

At this moment, Li Wei did not suppress his divine energy at all, and was basically in the stage of unleashing his full power. Soon, Li Wei sensed that the demon king-level demon energy that had been entrenched here was moving, and its target was this place.

"As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. I just hope that once this demon king makes his move, the Wolf King will have something to worry about. Ideally, the two of them will fight each other, so that we'll have a chance to escape!" Thinking of this, Li Wei sped up even more, covering a hundred meters in a few leaps. From a distance, he looked like a shooting star that had ripped through the peaceful grass.

Less than a kilometer away, a black gust of Black Wind rushed towards them, and it seemed that they would catch up in a short time. The Wolf King was furious. He thought to himself that he didn't know whether these two guys had intentionally or unintentionally trespassed into the territory of his mortal enemy, the 'Purple-Eyed Leopard King'. This 'Purple-Eyed Leopard King' was also a Demon King, just like him. Although his cultivation was weaker than his, he was definitely a ruthless character when it came to fighting. The Wolf King really didn't want to provoke this guy unless necessary.

If he didn't know the identity of the Corpse Jumper, he might have given up. But at this moment, let alone the mere 'Purple-Eyed Leopard King,' even the Fire Crystal Cave of the most powerful 'Qilin King' in Quyin Mountain, the Wolf King would dare to venture there. Not for any other reason than that as long as the Corpse Jumper was the person he was looking for, all the dangers were worth taking. Because, as long as he controlled the Corpse Jumper, the Wolf King was confident he could become the most powerful demon king in Quyin Mountain in a short time. Not only that, he could also break the Demon-Sealing Formation that sealed Quyin Mountain and seize control of the entire human world.

Whenever he thought of this, the Wolf King felt a surge of excitement, so he sneered, quickened his pace, and chased after them.

"10 seconds..." Li Wei didn't turn his head, but in his mind he calculated that the Wolf King would catch up with him in 10 seconds. At that time, he would have no choice but to fight to the death.

Fortunately, at that moment, a whirlwind suddenly appeared in front, followed by a monster with a leopard's head and a human body. This monster looked fierce, but its eyes were dazzling purple, seemingly possessing endless magic power, making it impossible for anyone who looked at it to look away.

But Li Wei was no ordinary person; at the peak of his power, he had reached a terrifying S7 level. Therefore, he didn't feel anything under this level of demonic energy. As for the Cripple, he was a Corpse Jumper and didn't care at all. The purple-eyed demon opposite him let out a "huh" and began to look Li Wei and the Cripple up and down.

At this moment, the Wolf King had been chasing behind, also arrived. Upon seeing the leopard-headed, human-bodied demon, it cursed under its breath and charged directly at the Cripple, intending to forcibly abduct him.

Upon seeing this, the Purple-Eyed Leopard King flew into a rage. "Wolf King, do you think I, the Leopard King, don't exist?"

Having said that, he suddenly leaped up, and a black shadow flashed by, immediately blocking the Wolf King. The Cripple might not have seen it clearly, but Li Wei saw it clearly. The leopard demon's tail had just struck the Wolf King hard like a steel whip, and with that one blow, the Wolf King had suffered a considerable loss.

The Wolf King, having taken a few steps back, regained his footing, his face contorted with rage as he glared at the Purple-Eyed Leopard King and roared, "Leopard king, this has nothing to do with you! I usually hold you in some fear, but now, if you don't get out of my way, I'll tear you apart!"
