Clatter...
No sooner had Dongfang Yuejian finished speaking than the blood gourds that had nearly covered the entire Bronze Gate suddenly began falling from it in a clattering cascade.
Bang, bang, bang...
Through the thick 𩙥 Flame Barrier before them, they saw the blood gourds burst one after another upon hitting the ground, and hideous, terrifying Blood Infants crawled out of them.
Some of these Blood Infants had only one eye and maimed arms, some had their flesh turned inside out, and some even had flesh but no skin. A single glance was enough to send a chill down one's spine.
"Waa!..."
"Waa, waa, waa!..."
As the first Blood Infant began to wail, the dozens crawling across the ground suddenly all began crying together.
Along with their cries came a pungent stench of blood, as well as resentful qi that had already become tangible, rising from the Blood Infants in streams of black smoke.

"These Blood Infants must have suffered inhuman torture while alive. Otherwise, they could never have produced such intense resentful qi."
Xuanzhi, meanwhile, said angrily,
"Just how many babies did that Blood Cultivator slaughter to refine this many Blood Infants?"
Heretical Cultivators refining evil objects were like Alchemists refining pills: getting one or two successful batches out of ten was already considered good.
Judging by the number of Blood Infants before them, the babies who had died at that Blood Cultivator's hands numbered at least in the thousands.
"Mo... Mommy... Mom!"
Just as Xuanzhi seethed with anger, a Blood Infant with split lips suddenly called out for its mommy, yet wore a vicious expression as it lunged toward the people inside the 𩙥 Flame Barrier.
Bang!
In an instant, the 𩙥 Flame Barrier Xu Taiping had formed burned
