The blood shadow tried to flee, but how could the Daoist, burning with fury, allow it? He immediately raised his sword and gave chase.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
A series of shrill sounds tore through the air.
The blood shadow had clearly prepared for this. Seeing the Daoist follow, she immediately flung out six perfectly round pearl pellets the size of chicken eggs. They shot straight at his face, so fast they left trails of afterimages in the air.
The pellets were deep purple all over, veiled in a thin layer of golden light. As they hurtled through the air, they cracked space itself, leaving pitch-black trails and erupting with the ear-splitting shrieks of wind and thunder. They looked solid and stable, but Cheng Xinzhan could sense the terrifying power contained within them. Most importantly, he detected the presence of immortal fire.
These were definitely things capable of injuring someone in the fifth realm.
Xu Wan, following close behind, immediately sent an urgent warning through voice transmission.
"Younger brother, don't take them head-on! Those are the Emei School's Gantianyi Zhengdoushuai Divine Thunder, immortal treasures made from-"
Boom!
In that hurried instant, before the Netherworld Sage could finish speaking, the blood shadow had already detonated the divine thunder.
Seeing the thunderfire sweep toward him, Xu Wan's expression changed sharply. Not daring to force his way through, he hurriedly retreated and brought out a banner flag. The banner could change its size. At first it was only a tiny dot, then its cloth rapidly expanded to over ten feet high and swept around Xu Wan, wrapping him tightly.
This banner had a yellow bamboo pole and white hemp cloth, somewhat resembling the soul-summoning banners commonly used at mortal funerals. Each side bore two large characters in ghost seal script: "Northern Kuang" on one side
