Chapter 1934: Blood Escape Technique! Trying to Run? (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Walking along the path, the surrounding scenery gradually changed. Ancient trees became sparse, replaced by some low shrubs and jagged rocks. In the air, there was a faint hint of a bloody scent and energy fluctuations.

Luo Qingchen frowned slightly, signaling the two to stop. He sensed carefully for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Not far ahead, it seems there was a fierce battle; the residual energy is mixed. There’s Righteous Path spiritual power, but also... a hint of sinister demonic qi."

"Demonic qi?" Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan both felt a chill in their hearts. They were well aware of the ruthlessness of Demonic Path cultivators.

"Let’s be cautious and go take a look," Luo Qingchen said, leading the way, with Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan following closely behind.

Crossing a ridge, the scene before them made all three narrow their pupils.

In the gully, chaos reigned. The ground was pitted and covered with the marks of spell strikes. Broken trees and shattered fragments of magic artifacts were everywhere. Seven or eight bodies of cultivators in uniform cyan Taoist robes lay in pools of blood, their deaths tragic, clearly having gone through a brutal fight.

"It’s... the disciples of the Qingmu Sect!" Su Xiaowan recognized the robes; it was the group they had encountered a few days ago. Her little face turned somewhat pale. Though she harbored no fondness for them before, seeing their tragic end here stirred feelings of pity in her heart.

Luo Qingchen’s gaze swept over the battlefield, his expression grave. He noticed that these disciples of the Qingmu Sect were almost all killed with a single blow; the wounds bore the remnants of cold demonic qi, clearly inflicted by a demonic cultivator of far superior strength.

"It seems this area is not peaceful," Luo Qingchen said slowly, "We should leave this place as soon as possible."

Just as the three were about to leave, an unexpected change occurred!

"Hehehe... didn’t expect there’d be survivors!"

A sinister laugh came from behind a nearby cliff, and then three shadows shot out like ghosts from behind the rocks, forming a triangle that encircled Luo Qingchen and the others.

Leading them was a withered man cloaked in black, wearing a ghastly ghost mask with a face full of fangs. In his hand was a bizarre White Bone Banner, around which black qi swirled, with the faint sounds of ghostly wails emanating from it. He was a demonic cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The other two were also at the intermediate stage of Foundation Establishment, one wielding a short poison blade, the other controlling several fist-sized black venomous insects. Both wore sinister smiles, scrutinizing Luo Qingchen and his companions with malice.

"Three little ones, tender and fair, just perfect for refining my Ten Thousand Souls Banner!" the ghost-masked demonic cultivator laughed hoarsely, his gaze lingering on Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan for a moment, flashing with lewd and greedy intentions. "Especially these two girls, quite good-looking, could have some fun with them first..."

Su Xiaowan felt a shiver of disgust at his stare and shouted angrily, "Shameless demon! How dare you commit murder and atrocities in broad daylight!"

"Fellow? Heh, do those wastes deserve to be called my fellows?" the ghost-masked demonic cultivator scoffed, "Feisty young girl, I’ll make sure to torturously deal with you later, making you beg for life, yet unable to die!"

Lin Wan’er’s face was like frost, and her longsword was already in hand, as she coldly spat, "Evil demons, condemned by all!"

Luo Qingchen looked calmly at the ghost-masked demonic cultivator and asked mildly, "The people of the Qingmu Sect, did you kill them?"

"So what if I did?" the ghost-masked demonic cultivator retorted arrogantly, "They got in the way of my business, so naturally they deserved to die! And you three, having seen this, shouldn’t expect to live either!"

Before he finished speaking, he shook the White Bone Banner in his hand fiercely. Several ghastly ghost claws formed from black qi swept toward Luo Qingchen and the others. The other two demonic cultivators acted simultaneously, the poison blade transforming into several cold glints, while the venomous insects buzzed, swarming like a dark cloud.

"Be careful!" Luo Qingchen shouted in a low voice. Instantly, Chaotic Power erupted as he wielded the Black Dragon Sword to meet the attack of the ghost-masked demonic cultivator.

"Chaos Barrier!"

A solid gray light screen appeared from nowhere, blocking most of the ghost claws and poison blades, with dull thuds sounding as they hit.

Lin Wan’er cried out, and the Heavenly Origin Sword technique was unleashed; the sword light flowed like water, accurately targeting the venomous insects trying to breach the barrier. Su Xiaowan quickly threw out several Defense Talismans to protect herself and Bai Ling’er, while not forgetting to launch several Attack Talismans to harass the enemies.

"Oh? You can actually block my attack?" A flash of surprise crossed the ghost-masked demonic cultivator’s eyes, soon replaced by a grim killing intent. "Interesting! It seems you are not ordinary characters! However, today you’re destined to become souls within my banner!"

With a bizarre laugh, he spat out a concentrated Demon Essence into the White Bone Banner in his hand. The black qi on the banner surged, forming a gigantic ghost face that opened its bloody maw, reeking of a foul stench and malevolent spirit, fiercely biting towards the Chaos Barrier.

Crack!

The Chaos Barrier shook violently, showing a crack on its surface!

"Brother Luo!" both Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan were instantly alarmed.

Luo Qingchen’s face was solemn; the demonic cultivator’s strength was even greater than he had anticipated, especially that White Bone Banner, exceedingly sinister. He knew they could not delay any longer, or once the Chaotic Power was overly depleted, the situation would turn dire for them.

"Fight quickly and decisively!"

In Luo Qingchen’s eyes, a cold gleam flashed, and he fully activated the Chaos Origin Power.

"Chaos Sword Technique: Star Fall!"

The Black Dragon Sword emitted a dragon-like roar, gray star lights ignited on its blade, as if countless miniature stars were born and dying within. His silhouette flickered, thereupon reaching and charging towards the ghost-masked demonic cultivator first!

"Seeking death!" The ghost-masked demonic cultivator sneered as he saw Luo Qingchen daring to take the initiative, maneuvering the gigantic ghost face forward.

The other two demonic cultivators wanted to take the chance to attack Luo Qingchen’s flank but were firmly entangled by Lin Wan’er’s sword light, unable to shake free. While Su Xiaowan’s talismans, though not powerful, were numerous and thrown at tricky angles, causing them considerable trouble.

Bang!

Luo Qingchen’s Star Fall Sword Light clashed fiercely with the giant ghost face, erupting in a deafening explosion. A violent energy shockwave swept outward, carving deep furrows into the ground.

The ghost face emitted a shrill scream, torn apart by the Star Fall Sword Light, dispersing into omnipresent black qi!

The ghost-masked demonic cultivator groaned as if struck, retreating several steps with a muffled grunt, even the ghost mask on his face cracked open, revealing a pair of eyes filled with terrified disbelief beneath.

"Impossible! Who... what are you?!" He could never have imagined, a cultivator who appeared younger than him, could unleash such terrifying combat power! That gray sword qi, carried a destructive aura that sent even his soul shivering!

Luo Qingchen remained silent, unforgiving in victory, his silhouette once again closing in, the Black Dragon Sword transforming into a streak of light heading straight for the ghost-masked demonic cultivator’s forehead!

This sword, ultimate in speed, ultimate in ruthlessness!

The ghost-masked demonic cultivator was in a state of sheer panic, at the brink of life and death, he frantically set the White Bone Banner in front of him, muttering incantations as a stream of bloodlight surged from his body, infusing into the banner.

Clang!

The Black Dragon Sword struck the White Bone Banner, creating a resounding clash of metal. Trembling violently, the White Bone Banner bore more cracks on its surface, but ultimately managed to block the lethal strike.

Taking advantage of the momentary stall, the ghost-masked demonic cultivator’s eyes flashed with madness and venom, he shouted frantically, "Boy, just you wait! This grudge will not go unavenged!"

He fiercely bit his tongue, spurting essence blood onto the White Bone Banner, simultaneously crushing a Jade Talisman. A scarlet light enveloped him, and his figure rapidly blurred.

"Blood Escape Technique! Trying to flee?" Luo Qingchen’s eyes turned cold, unwilling to let him escape easily.

"Chaos Sword Technique: Conduction!"

An invisible force of Chaos emanated from Luo Qingchen’s palm, reaching like chains towards the retreating ghost-masked demonic cultivator.

However, the Blood Escape Technique activated extremely fast, and just as the ghost-masked demonic cultivator was ensnared by the Chaos power, he transformed into a streak of blood light, shooting away at an impossible speed toward the distant horizon, leaving behind a resentful and venomous yell: "What goes around comes around, we’ll meet again!"
