That deadly glint of light rapidly magnified in Lin Xiao's vision.
The cold blade had already touched his skin, and the strong smell of blood filled his nostrils.
It's over!
Just as Lin Xiao closed his eyes and awaited death...
A slightly effeminate voice, yet carrying an undeniable air of authority, emanated from the depths of the blood mist.
"Stop."
laugh.
The piercing curved blade stopped an inch in front of Lin Xiao's neck, its sharp aura tearing through his skin and drawing out a line of blood.
The Demon God Cult protector, who Mystic Realm Third Level, paused for a moment, and the cruel smile on his face instantly turned into respect.
He sheathed his scimitar and bowed slightly towards the blood-mist-filled street.
"Protector Liu."
A cloud of blood churned, and a figure emerged unhurriedly.
The newcomer was dressed in a magnificent black robe, embroidered with eerie blood-red cloud patterns in gold thread.
His face was handsome, but pale and bloodless, and his eyes were a chilling dark red.
Lin Xiao trembled violently when he saw the person's face clearly.
"Liu... Liu Qingyun!"
It's him!
That remnant of the Liu Family, who should have died in the mouth of demons, had already fled Nanhe County!
Liu Qingyun didn't look at the protector; his dark red gaze passed over him and landed on Lin Xiao was covered in blood.
He smiled.
"Chief Lin, how have you been?"
His voice was soft, yet it carried a deep-seated resentment.
Your life?
Liu Qingyun stretched out his pale finger and pointed at Lin Xiao from a distance, then shook it dismissively.
"Too early."
"You are merely an appetizer reserved for a 'distinguished guest'."
Lin Xiao's heart sank to the bottom.
The Demon God Cult's protector beside him couldn't help but speak up, "Protector Liu, why would you need to personally deal with a mere Su Yu..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
An incredibly terrifying aura erupted from Liu Qingyun's body!
Mystic Realm Fifth Level!
That aura was no longer pure True Qi, but rather a mixture of eerie and violent blood energy, heavy and viscous, causing the surrounding air to distort.
Under this oppressive force, even the guardians at the Mystic Realm Third Level involuntarily bent over, beads of cold sweat forming on their foreheads, unable to utter a single word.
Lin Xiao and the few remaining Demon Suppression Guard behind him were so overwhelmed by this force that their knees buckled.
Click!
The sound of bones cracking rang out.
They all knelt on the ground, their severely wounded bodies emitting groans of agony, blood gushing rapidly from their ruptured wounds.
Lin Xiao's consciousness began to fade.
Mystic Realm Fifth Level!
How long has it been?
He finally realized that this was not a joke.
This was a pre-arranged feast of death.
"Now, do you understand?"
Liu Qingyun relished the ashen expressions on everyone's faces, enjoying the thrill of being in complete control.
He cultivated the sect's secret techniques, using the essence and blood of all living beings in Nanhe County as a guide to forcefully break through, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds each day.
He is now the only god in Nanhe County!
"Lock him, and all those scum, in the Blood Prison."
Liu Qingyun waved his hand, as if shooing away a few flies.
" Zhang Qiang, send men to guard the city gates properly, don't let my distinguished guest... get impatient."
"Yes, Protector Liu!"
Although both were protectors of the Demon God Cult, Zhang Qiang was far inferior to Liu Qingyun in both strength and status.
This operation was also orchestrated by an elder who specifically assigned Liu Qingyun to assist the other side in an attempt to win him over.
Before coming, Zhang Qiang was somewhat disdainful, thinking that Liu Qingyun was just lucky and had only managed to gain the elder's favor by chance.
But now, Liu Qingyun's formidable strength has changed his mind.
"Take away!"
At Zhang Qiang's command, several Blood Demon with bloodshot eyes rushed forward and roughly dragged Lin Xiao, Tang Shan, and the others away.
Dragged along the once-familiar streets, Lin Xiao witnessed a scene of hell on earth.
Blackened bloody handprints were frozen on the walls, and the shop's doors and windows were wide open, but the shop was empty.
Occasionally, a few civilians locked in cages, having completely lost their minds, were frantically devouring the corpses of their companions.
The entire Nanhe County is completely finished.
Outside the Nanhe County.
The thunderous sound of hooves came to an abrupt halt.
Su Yu reined in his horse, and the black iron torrent of more than fifty riders behind him froze instantly, Soundless.
All eyes were fixed on the dead city shrouded in blood mist ahead.
The city walls stood tall, yet exuded an aura of deathly stillness.
On the city wall stood rows of figures, dressed in civilian clothes but holding all sorts of weapons, their eyes bloodshot, and exuding an ominous aura of bloodlust.
They can no longer be called human beings.
Riding his horse at the back of the column, Zhang He looked at the scene before him and felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. A chill ran from the soles of his feet straight up to the top of his head.
This is Nanhe County, where a petition for help was written in blood.
He couldn't help but look at the figure in the black tiger robe at the very front.
Since the ambush, Su Yu hasn't uttered a single word, but the invisible pressure he exudes has made the entire team move faster than ever before.
Zhang He now only wanted to know how this excessively young captain would react to the city teeming with demons and monsters.
Su Yu sat on horseback, quietly watching the " Blood Demon " on the city wall.
In his perception, the Blood Demon' bodies were surging with violent energy.
The city is full of... Slaughter Points.
And Liu Qingyun is most likely here too.
very good.
Just then, the Blood Demon on the city wall also spotted them.
"Hahaha! Look, the lackeys of the Demon Suppression Bureau have arrived!"
"Are you here to die? Perfect timing, Grandpa's hungry!"
"Is that all the people? They're not even enough to fill our teeth!"
Vulgar language and wild laughter came from the city walls.
Many of the young guards in the Demon Suppression Bureau Division's ranks wore angry expressions and gripped their swords tightly.
Zhang He's heart was in his throat. He was just about to suggest that they find out the situation first.
However, Su Yu completely ignored those provocations.
He didn't even glance back at his men.
Under everyone's gaze, he slowly raised his right hand.
More than fifty riders tensed up instantly.
Zhang He, Cao Yue, Yang Jing —all eyes were fixed on that hand.
Su Yu's hand suddenly swung down.
A cold, emotionless word came out of his mouth.
"Kill."
