663: Chapter 210_2 663: Chapter 210_2 The Blood demons varied in appearance, some resembled venomous snakes with dozens of short legs underneath, some had two heads with one resembling a wolfhound and the other akin to a bat, and some were covered in tentacles…
A terrifying ferocity surged wildly from their bodies.
In the next moment, a streak of sword light flashed by.
Xiang Ziyu made his move.
Just now, he attempted to unlock the seal, but his sword strike led to a great setback.
As the main character, how could he fail?
He had to recover all that he had lost from that failure.
Suddenly, in the sky, over a hundred of Xiang Ziyu’s illusions appeared once more, each mirroring the exact same move with their sword as he had done previously with his swordsmanship.
However, although the swords fell, this caused the illusions to seem even more ethereal, making one doubt if the illusions existed at all.
Though the illusions became more illusory, the sword light they wielded became more solid.
These hundreds of Sword Qi either became sharper, heavier, or more unpredictable…
The same sword move, used twice in succession, felt as if it was executed by two completely different people, as if the first user was a Disciple, and the latter was the Master revealing the same swordsmanship.
The sword light descended.
Instantly, in the Blood River, the newly emerged gigantic bodies of the Blood demons were severed into pieces, completely obliterated!
Even though Xiang Ziyu’s injuries had not yet healed, even though he had not wielded a Divine Weapon, and even though he had just learned this sword technique, his single strike resulted in the death of six Blood demons!
As the Blood demons perished, they dissolved into pools of blood, flowing back into the Blood River, but within it, there appeared six distinctly conspicuous droplets of blood.
Behind him, Beichen Ying reached out to grab, and with a motion snatched the six droplets of blood from midair, frowned as he looked down at the roiling Blood River and said with a headache, “Heaven Illusion Sword Monarch said that by dyeing the tombstone red with the fresh blood of the Blood demons, we would be able to leave.
However, when the Blood demons die, their blood directly falls into the Blood River, and each demonic beast only leaves behind a droplet of blood as concentrated as essence.
We’re not expected to dye the tombstone red with these droplets, are we?
That would take forever.”
Cao Zhen’s brows also furrowed.
Initially, when he heard the lingering image of the Heaven Illusion Sword Monarch say that simply dyeing the tombstone red would allow them to leave, he didn’t think much of the task.
Although the tombstone was massive, so were the Blood demons, which were all transformed from fresh blood; how could it be difficult to thoroughly dye the tombstone red?
However, the current situation suggested that they would likely have to use these concentrated blood droplets, one by one, to dye the tombstone red—imagine how long that would take!
“Or perhaps, we’re not supposed to use this concentrated blood to dye the stone?
What if these droplets are treasures for Cultivation, and we should test whether we can directly irrigate it with the blood from the Blood River?”
Xiang Ziyu raised his hand and drew in, and instantly an endless surge of Mana flowed out, causing the blood of the Blood River to spin into a vortex-like state, uncontrollably flying out and rushing towards the tombstone.
Yet the next moment, a flash of golden light burst forth from the tombstone and the streams of blood evaporated cleanly in midair.
“Forget it, this is a Great Formation created by someone who, in his time, was ranked third among strongmen, there’s no chance that we could dye this tombstone red with the blood of the Blood Pool.” Beichen Ying shook his head and then reached out with his hand, shooting a drop of concentrated Blood demon’s blood directly at the tombstone.
This time, no light emerged to obstruct its fall, and the Blood demon’s essence blood stained the tombstone, leaving a small red dot.
Given the size of the tombstone, this dot of red could practically be ignored.
The group could sense that if they hadn’t regained their Spiritual Energy and strength, in their prior mortal state, they might have even failed to see this tiny red dot.
Yi Sheng looked at the size of the tombstone, then at the drop of essence blood in Beichen Ying’s hand, and asked softly, “The essence blood of the Blood demon…
has fallen onto the tombstone…
so we really have to use this blood to dye the tombstone thoroughly?”
“Not necessarily!”
The Blood River surged once again, but this time, instead of six Blood demons, only five flew out.
Perhaps because the Blood River had just been opened, the strength of the emerging Blood demons wasn’t particularly strong, roughly around the level of the Golden Core stage.
While Xiang Ziyu did have injuries, they only weakened him, and dealing with a few Blood demons equivalent to the Golden Core stage presented no problem for him.
He did not wait for the others to take action, but instead reached out towards the Blood demons before him and drew them in.
Immediately, just as these five Blood demons emerged from the Blood River and before they could react, they were dragged out of the river’s domain, landing directly atop the tombstone.
Xiang Ziyu then looked towards Little Beiyan and ordered, “Detonate them.”
Hadn’t the blood of the Blood River been ineffective just now?
He decided to directly detonate these Blood demons on top of the tombstone to see if that would work.
Little Beiyan understood his elder brother’s intention, although he was somewhat puzzled as to why his brother would have him do it rather than doing it himself!
After a moment’s hesitation, Little Beiyan still raised his hand and with a sweep, a Giant Hammer illusion descended from the sky.
With one strike, the bodies of the five Blood demons burst open, and their crimson blood spilled down, raining towards the tombstone.
