Inside the stone chamber, the air was as thick as coagulated blood.
The altar made of countless bones stood quietly in the center, like a silent ferocious beast that chose people to devour.
The dark red blood that has not yet dried up in the groove of the altar exudes a sweet and greasy smell, mixed with some weird incense, forming a soul-stirring evil fragrance.
"Sacrifice..."
Li Xi's voice was a little dry. She was born in the Azure Sword Manor and had seen many demons and monsters, but this was the first time she saw such pure and ritualistic evil.
"This is by no means an ordinary practice, this is offering sacrifices to an unknown existence!"
Zhao Chengkong stared at the blood that acted as rune grooves, and his body trembled again with extreme anger.
Every drop of blood may come from a fellow disciple he once knew.
Zhao Wuji...Zhao Y ehan...
He chewed these two names over and over in his heart, and the flames of hatred almost burst out of his eyes.
Su Yu said nothing.
His eyes swept across the altar calmly, keeping those twisted and weird rune shapes in his mind, as well as the faint traces of their energy flow.
Suddenly, Yao One's terrified scream rang out from Su Yu's sea of consciousness.
"Master! Outside! There are powerful enemies! More than one!"
Su Yu raised his eyes slightly and spoke almost at the same time. His voice was not loud, but it clearly overcame the dead silence in the stone room.
"Someone is coming."
The words just fell.
"Jie Jie Jie... it really takes no effort at all."
A hoarse and harsh laughter came from the dark hole.
Immediately afterwards, five figures blocked the only exit, completely cutting off the skylight and the way to survive in the cave.
The leader was an old man wearing a blood-colored robe, with a skinny face and sunken eye sockets.
In his hand, he held a pale bone staff polished from the spine. The top of the staff was inlaid with a continuously pulsating blood-colored crystal, exuding the unique and powerful pressure of Earth Realm Third Layer.
It is another elder of the Blood Baleful Intent Hall, Ghost Hand.
His eyes were like poisonous snakes, slowly sweeping over the three people in the cave. When he saw the faces of Li Xi and Zhao Chengkong, unabashed greed and ecstasy burst out from those cloudy eyes.
"Azure Sword Manor's Li Xianzi, Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor's young owner... Wow, what a big surprise."
Yin He's eyes finally fell on the bone altar, and his deep-set pupils shrank suddenly, and then a strange sarcasm appeared on his face.
"Blood Feeding Formation? Such crude technique is an insult to the art."
He recognized at a glance that the layout of this altar was derived from a ritual array used to sacrifice high-level demons inside the Blood Baleful Intent Hall, but it was modified in a crude way.
"Oh, it seems that there is a Daoist friend who has the same goals as me Blood Baleful Intent Hall hidden in this Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor."
Yin He let out a meaningful sneer, and immediately turned his attention back to the three Su Yu.
"Chen Hao of Duke's Residence was secretly taken away by the mad dogs of the Demon Suppression Bureau. Two of the four great geniuses of Qing Province are here.
If I capture you two alive today, the master of the palace will definitely be very happy."
Li Xi gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his cold face covered with a layer of frost.
"Blood Baleful Intent Hall's monster, everyone can find it and kill it!"
"Kill!"
Zhao Chengkong was completely swallowed up by anger. He let out a suppressed roar, his whole body turned into an afterimage, and he took the initiative to attack!
He opened his five fingers, and the majestic power of his consciousness gathered into a ferocious tiger silhouette, roaring and rushing towards Yin He!
"Don't overestimate your capabilities!"
Yin He sneered disdainfully, facing Zhao Chengkong's angry blow, he didn't even move the bone staff.
He just raised his left hand and grabbed it with his five fingers.
Buzz!
A giant claw made of thick blood appeared out of thin air and grabbed the neck of the spiritual tiger.
"Roar!"
The tiger's shadow struggled wildly, but couldn't break free.
The bloody giant claw suddenly exerted force, and there was only a crisp "click" sound, and it actually crushed the tiger that was made purely of spiritual consciousness into pieces, turning it into spots of light all over the sky!
"Pfft!"
Zhao Chengkong As if he had been hit hard, he opened his mouth and spat out a blood arrow, staggering back, his eyes full of horror.
The same Spirit Refinement, his attack was so vulnerable in front of Ghost Hand of Earth Realm Third Layer!
"A pearl like a grain of rice dares to shine?"
Yin He said sarcastically, then turned to Li Xi, "Fairy Li, it's your turn."
Zheng!
What answered him was the sound of a clear sword.
Li Xi moved.
Before she arrived, the sword had already arrived.
A cyan sword light that was condensed to the extreme was like a ray of morning light cutting through the darkness. It was silent, yet swift and unparalleled, piercing Yin He's eyebrows!
Flying Catkin Sword Technique, sword out Soundless!
"It's interesting."
Ghost Hand finally had a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
The bone staff in his hand hit the ground for a moment, and a bloody shield composed of countless cries of innocent souls instantly appeared in front of him.
Ding!
The cyan sword light was accurately positioned on the blood shield, making a crisp sound of gold and iron.
Dazzling energy ripples burst out between the sword tip and the shield. Countless wronged souls were purified and melted by the sword energy, but the blood shield also blocked the killing sword.
"The sword is good, but unfortunately, your cultivation level is still a bit lacking."
Ghost Hand laughed ferociously, and the blood shield suddenly exploded, turning into a blood mist that filled the sky, covering Li Xi.
In the blood mist, hundreds of bloody hands stretched out, grabbing Li Xi's limbs and bones, trying to drag her into the sea of blood!
Li Xi's face changed slightly, his figure retreated sharply, and the sword light circulated around his body, turning into a blue sword wheel, crushing the approaching bloody hands one by one.
But there was an endless supply of bloody hands, and her space for movement was drastically compressed.
The four Peak Mystic Realm subordinates brought by Ghost Hand also smiled ferociously and pounced on Zhao Chengkong who was adjusting his breath.
The situation was overturned in an instant.
From beginning to end, Su Yu stood there, like an outsider.
He neither helped Zhao Chengkong nor rescued Li Xi.
He just looked at it all calmly, with those deep eyes, as if he was evaluating each cold machine.
Ghost Hand and Earth Realm Third Layer specialize in Blood Dao Kung Fu. Their soul defense is average, but the blood shield is extremely difficult to deal with and can pollute and wear away Spiritual Qi and Sword Intent.
Li Xi, Earth Realm First Level, Sword Intent are sharp, but lack the experience to deal with this kind of dirty energy, and they will lose in a long battle.
Zhao Chengkong, Earth Realm First Level, the anger attacks the heart, the use of spiritual consciousness is rough, and the fighting power has been lost.
Su Yu calmly analyzed the battlefield situation in his heart.
At this time, Ghost Hand had completely suppressed Li Xi. He was approaching step by step, with a cruel smile on his face as if he had a chance to win.
"Fairy Li, stop struggling. I will very gently refine you into my most perfect blood slave..."
He stretched out his dry claws and grabbed Li Xi's neck.
Li Xi Clenched his silver teeth, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he was about to burn his blood essence and perform a desperate secret technique.
Just at this moment.
The boy wearing Demon Suppression Guard uniform, who had been ignored by everyone, finally made a move.
