After draining the blood, is it then infused with evil blood?
Everyone present was taken aback upon hearing Xu Yeming's words.
Yang Shao frowned in thought, "We could have simply extracted their blood and soul and left, which would have delayed our discovery and given them ample time. Why go through all this trouble?"
Hong Ying suddenly said, "What if they did it on purpose?"
Was it done on purpose?
Everyone was taken aback.
Chu Ran sneered, "Are you saying these Evil Cultivator are deliberately provoking us?"
"Why not?" Hong Ying retorted.
Ba Xiyue said coldly, "If that's the case, then I've truly been underestimated..."
The moment she finished speaking, Ba Xiyue's Imperial Intent suddenly erupted!
I'm furious!
For a moment, the Wind-Ming Valley disciples who were constantly self-destructing were all stunned into stopping.
Everyone was slightly taken aback by this scene.
Imperial Intent be effective against these Wind-Ming Valley disciples who had been infused with evil blood?
Seeing this.
With a sharp cry, Ba Xiyue unleashed her Imperial Intent, which surged forth from within her like a tidal wave!
The Imperial Intent, like ocean waves, crashed against the bodies of the Wind-Ming Valley disciples, causing their skin to begin to burn!
The scorched skin flaked off like ashes, revealing the flesh and bones beneath.
What's frightening is...
The flesh and bones had long been eroded and turned black. When the Imperial Intent fell on the bones, black mist even floated out from them!
The Imperial Intent.
It also has the effect of suppressing evil spirits, but it is not as direct as Vast Righteous Qi and Thunder Method.
only.
Ba Xiyue's Imperial Intent seemed insufficient to subdue so many disciples of Wind-Ming Valley.
Although the barrier created by Huo Xuedao, the Xuanjia general, and the gray-robed elder from the Chu Clan could withstand the self-destruction.
But such a continuous stream of self-destruction will eventually be broken through.
Although the disciples of Wind-Ming Valley were not of high cultivation level, the power of their self-destruction posed no threat to experts of Huo Xuedao's level.
But... this evil blood is very strange.
It not only controls them to self-destruct, but also greatly amplifies the power generated by the self-destruction!
Once the barrier is removed.
Not only will they suffer losses, but the area within thousands of miles will likely be corrupted by this Evil Qi, and some Devil Beast and other people in the vicinity will also be controlled!
Ba Xiyue frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "While I can still suppress them now, let's deal with them as soon as possible..."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Deep within Wind-Ming Valley, at the center of the Blood Refinement Soul-Seizing Array.
Seven auras, each more than ten times stronger than those of the disciples of Wind-Ming Valley, surged forth!
roar--!!!
Seven dark red blood shadows burst forth from the center of the formation; they were none other than seven Evil Cultivator puppets dressed in tattered black robes with blurred faces.
"Those are... the six elders of Wind-Ming Valley and... the Valley Master?" Huo Xuedao's expression changed drastically.
The Xuanjia general also said solemnly, "Those six elders are all at the Creation Realm, and the Valley Master is even at the Dharma Aspect Realm. With the Blood Refinement Soul-Seizing Array and the blessing of evil blood, the power of their self-destruction is probably unimaginable."
The gray-robed elder, however, remained relatively calm and said sternly, "Stop hiding anything! If we keep it all up, the losses will be even greater!"
Their eyes blazed with bloodlust, and they roared in unison. The Blood Refinement Soul-Seizing Array above the valley hummed and trembled, injecting even more evil power into the bodies of the swaying disciples in the valley.
The Wind-Ming Valley disciple, who was originally suppressed by Ba Xiyue's Imperial Intent, swelled up again, the dark red light under his skin became more and more dazzling, and the shockwaves of his self-destruction became more and more violent.
Ba Xiyue's face paled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Suppressing the puppets strengthened by the evil blood with her own strength was already extremely taxing on her soul and spiritual power. Now that seven even stronger Evil Cultivator puppets had joined her control, her Imperial Intent was immediately struck as if by a heavy hammer, and began to fluctuate violently.
"Princess!" the Xuanjia general exclaimed in alarm upon seeing this. He wanted to withdraw some of the barrier's power to help, but seeing that several more disciples on the outer perimeter were about to self-destruct, he could only grit his teeth and maintain the barrier.
Just as Ba Xiyue's Imperial Intent was about to shatter, and the disciples at the forefront had reached their limit—
An even more magnificent and profound Intent of the Emperor, like a sleeping dragon awakening, erupted from Hong Ying's body!
A flash of golden light!
It possesses a crimson gold color that embodies boundless majesty and reigns supreme over mountains and rivers!
Hong Ying stepped forward, her long hair moving without wind, her eyes reflecting a detached indifference that looked down upon all living beings.
Her Imperial Intent was not like the crashing waves of Ba Xiyue's, but rather like an imperial crown descending from the heavens, carrying an undeniable suppressive power that instantly covered the entire Wind-Ming Valley.
Bang bang bang bang!
Those Wind-Ming Valley disciples, whose bodies had swelled to their limit, suddenly stiffened. The dark red light surging wildly across their bodies seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and abruptly dimmed.
Their ferocious faces were frozen, the blood in their eyes quickly faded, their swollen bodies quickly shriveled up like air leaks, and the process of self-destruction was forcibly interrupted!
Even the seven Evil Cultivator puppets deep in the valley halted their advance, their bodies shimmering with blood-red light as they let out angry howls.
Ba Xiyue suddenly turned her head, her eyes filled with shock as she looked at Hong Ying. As someone who also cultivated the Imperial Intent, she could clearly feel that Hong Ying's Imperial Intent not only far surpassed her own in quantity, but also carried a profound and pure quality that came from countless conquests and the rule of heaven and earth! That was something that could not be achieved overnight.
Yang Shao, Qin Zhao, and the others were also shocked, and their gazes towards Hong Ying changed completely. The Golden Light Talent was indeed no empty boast!
"Now!" Huo Xuedao was the first to react, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
He knew that the opportunity was fleeting, and in the instant that Hong Ying's Imperial Intent completely suppressed the scene, his bare arm muscles bulged, and a blood-red longsword appeared out of thin air, the blade humming as it unleashed a terrifying Sha Qi.
"Break!"
Huo Xuedao moved with lightning speed, his blade flashing like a blood-red ribbon as he swept out.
As the blade flashed, the Wind-Ming Valley disciples who had stood frozen in place fell like wheat being harvested. The violent spiritual power contained in the blade's energy not only destroyed their bodies but also completely evaporated the remaining evil blood within them, turning it into wisps of black smoke that dissipated.
Almost simultaneously, the black-armored general behind Ba Xiyue roared, raised his battle halberd high, and stirred up the murderous aura in the army, transforming into a silver torrent that rushed into the enemy ranks.
The gray-robed elder behind Chu Ran also moved.
His figure was like a ghost, and he did not use any powerful moves. He simply flicked his sleeves, and streams of gray energy silently wrapped around the necks and joints of the remaining disciples.
Wherever the gray aura passed, the disciples' bodies quickly petrified and disintegrated, without even a chance to self-destruct, turning into dust and scattering away.
In just a few breaths, the Wind-Ming Valley disciples who were controlled by the evil blood and nearly self-destructed at the valley entrance were wiped out, and the five elders and the valley master at the center of the formation also died.
All that remained were black residues that quickly weathered and dissipated on the ground.
The scene fell silent for a moment, save for the howling wind sweeping through the valley and the low hum of the Blood Refinement Soul-Seizing Array operating deep within the valley.
All three were, after all, experts at the Formless Realm.
If the opponent is suppressed for even a moment, he can be forcibly killed with his strength!
Ba Xiyue took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, nodded slightly to Hong Ying, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you."
Hong Ying shook her head. "It's my duty."
Chu Ran squinted at Hong Ying for a few moments, for the first time setting aside his slight disdain, but still said, "She does have some skill. But the real trouble is that evil formation..."
Blood Refinement Soul-Seizing Array.
It has absorbed so much blood and essence, and condensed so many wronged souls.
Breaking through the formation will likely not be an easy task.
Even Huo Xuedao and the other two experts at the Formless Realm needed to expend some effort.
After all, they weren't skilled in formations.
Just then...
A voice came from inside.
"Leave it to us."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
From behind, a crane flew straight towards them.
P. S.: Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone! (Although it's a bit late!)
