Chapter 75: Battle with the Blood Clan Leader (Part 1) As the pressure grows...

As the pressure continued to grow, a red gate to heaven opened in the blood-red void, and a man with red hair and a black robe slowly walked out of the gate on a giant dragon. The man had a face as sharp as a knife and an unusually fierce temperament.

"Where is Xihe?"

The man's voice was as cold as ice.

When the members of the Heroes Alliance noticed something unusual, they rushed out. Looking at the endless red-haired monks behind the man, those who used to resent Li Youyang for being too cautious now realized that they had underestimated the enemy. They only regretted not listening to Li Youyang's words and concentrating on improving themselves. Now they didn't know if they could survive.

"Where is Xihe?"

The man spoke again with impatience in his tone, and at the same time increased the pressure. Many monks could not bear it and knelt down and vomited blood.

Li Youyang flashed out and said, "I am Xihe."

With a sound, the pressure was lifted.

The man in silver looked at Li Youyang and said, "Xihe, this is Qiongcang, the leader of our Red Fire Clan. I have introduced you to him. If you are willing, your status will be the same as mine."

Li Youyang said coldly, "Anyone who offends the Nine Provinces will be punished."

"He must be executed." Qiong Cang laughed. "You ignorant child, how arrogant! Yin Yue, your judgment of people is truly poor."

The silver-clad man hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this person has extraordinary cultivation and acts calmly..."

Qiong Cang raised his hand to interrupt the silver-clad man and turned to Li Youyang again. "Yin Yue has spoken so highly of you in front of me, and I am willing to give you a chance. You and I will fight. If you win, I will take the Red Blood Clan away. If I win, you will take these cultivators and submit to the Red Fire Clan. How do you do it?"

The cultivators of the Heroic Alliance all looked at Li Youyang. Li Youyang said coldly, "I can bet with you, but I can't represent them. It's up to them to decide."

Yin Yue hurriedly said, "My Lord, the others are nothing to be afraid of."

Qiongcang frowned slightly: "Yinyue, this is the second time you interrupted my conversation for him."

Yin Yue knelt down hurriedly. Qiong Cang looked at Li Youyang and said, "For Yin Yue's sake, I will allow you to do this. If I win, you will join the Red Fire Clan. I will give the others a chance to choose."

Li Youyang moved his sword quickly, and an invisible barrier appeared in the void. Then he flashed into it, and Qiongcang also stepped into it.

After entering the barrier, without saying much, Li Youyang frowned and looked down, and the abundant immortal power flowed through the sword, making the whole space a little clearer.

A sneer appeared on Qiong Cang's lips, and he formed seals with his hands. A dark sickle appeared, and at the same time, a thick bloody aura filled the entire barrier. In an instant, the wind and clouds surged, dark thunder rolled, and the barrier was clearly divided into light and dark.

Qiong Cang turned around and raised his hand, and the bloody and evil energy rushed towards Li Youyang. Li Youyang focused his eyes and transformed himself into a sword, soaring into the sky like a phoenix rising from the fire. Wherever the sword passed, the bloody and evil energy dissipated.

Qiongcang frowned, formed seals again, and flashed into the sickle. In an instant, the sickle turned into a giant red python that wrapped around the phoenix. The more the phoenix struggled, the tighter the python bound it.

After several rounds of fighting, Li Youyang appeared, pinched his fingers and made sword gestures, the magic sword turned into a huge sword shadow, and slashed at the giant python with one sword.

With a clang, the giant python fell. At the same time, Qiongcang appeared, holding a sickle, turned around, stepped forward, and rushed up to the sky, attacking Li Youyang's throat. Li Youyang blocked with his sword, and the two fought in close combat. With a loud bang, strong winds blew, and sand and rocks flew everywhere.

clank!

In the blink of an eye, the two had fought for hundreds of moves.

Li Youyang's sword fingers moved quickly, and thousands of sword shadows rushed towards Qiongcang. Qiongcang formed seals with his hands, and the sickle turned sharply to protect himself and block the sword shadows. When the sword shadows stopped, Qiongcang sent out the sickle to cut Li Youyang directly.

Li Youyang dodged it with his body, then drew the sword seal, and the sword shadow slashed straight at Qiongcang. Qiongcang reacted and tried to recall the sickle, but Li Youyang blocked the sickle's way one step ahead.

Qiongcang frowned and pointed his sword straight forward. The moment of collision, the earth shook. With a loud bang, Qiongcang was shaken back and a flash of scarlet came out of his mouth.

Li Youyang drew sword seals again, tens of thousands of sword seals were heading straight for Qiong Cang, Qiong Cang's sword fingers quickly moved to form a protective formation to block the sword seals, but after three waves the protective formation was broken, and Qiong Cang was hit hard again.

There was a hint of admiration in Qiongcang's eyes. He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and curled his lips: "You are indeed good."

As soon as he finished speaking, he formed seals with his hands and picked up a red fairy sword. In an instant, a bloody and evil aura filled the entire world.

"Even with the barrier separating them, we can still sense the bloody aura. But how powerful is the pressure within? Can the leader really win?"

"Don't say such discouraging words. The leader will definitely..."

At this point, they felt a chill run down their spines. They saw Li Youyang's eyes glow crimson within the barrier, and a terrifying aura of death emanated from his body. He was like a god of death descending upon the world.

"What kind of immortal technique is the leader practicing? Why does it feel even more terrifying and strange than that of the foreign race?"

Li Youyang held the immortal sword in his hand, and the vast immortal power flowed through the sword.

"How bizarre! He's surrounded by death energy, yet he can control such clear and bright immortal power."

Li Youyang's sword finger quickly carved on the immortal sword. As the sword mark was carved, the sword body became brighter and brighter, while Li Youyang's body became darker and colder.

The moment the sword seal was completed, the immortal sword released a dazzling light, and Li Youyang completely sank into darkness.

Qiong Cang immediately fell into an illusion: "You are indeed very talented, but unfortunately I have no fear. This formation has no effect on me."

As he spoke, his eyes darkened slightly, and the red fairy sword turned into a huge sword print and slashed towards the void. The moment the illusion dissipated, Li Youyang had already swung the sword in front of him.

A look of admiration flashed across Qiong Cang's eyes again: "This courage is indeed quite good!"

The moment he finished speaking, he raised his sword to block, and his lips turned red again. He was forced back to the edge of the barrier by Li Youyang.

"Let me see how many surprises you have hidden."

The sword finger of the sky brushed across the sword body, and a thick bloody aura flowed through it. Li Youyang sensed the change and stepped back slightly.

Qiong Cang spun around and landed behind Li Youyang, slashing out with his sword. Li Youyang had already dodged the sword shadow with his sword, and quickly formed a seal. In an instant, the immortal sword turned into billions of sword shadows that fell down, heading straight for Qiong Cang. A look of disdain flashed in Qiong Cang's eyes, and he moved his sword fingers slightly to form a protective formation, but the protective formation was broken in an instant. Shocked, he quickly dodged with his sword.

Yin Yue stared in amazement and said, "How is this possible? Such a powerful sword shadow didn't even damage a blade of grass or a tree wherever it landed! This realm! Xihe is even stronger than he imagined."

Feng Nuo looked at Li Youyang, his eyes full of admiration. "There are three realms of sword. The first realm is when man and sword become one. Man is man, and sword is man. The second realm is the realm of no mind. The sword is the sword, and man is the sword. The third realm is the realm of nothingness. The sword is not the sword, man is not man, the sword is not man, man is not the sword. The sword's heart is nothing, and the human heart is nothing. At this moment, man and sword both enter into nothingness, and nothingness is the possibility of anything. Cultivation can be slowly increased over time, but this realm of sword requires an extremely high level of understanding."

Yu Chen lowered his eyes and said, "Return to the Realm of Nothingness, Xihe, no matter when, there is always such a huge gap between you and me. I boast of my peerless talent, but in front of you, I am just ordinary!"

Ling Ye's eyes darkened: "He is not Xihe, Yuchen, are you hiding something from me?"

Yuchen was silent.

Inside the barrier

Qiong Cang's admiration for Li Youyang grew: "No wonder Yin Yue values ​​you so highly! Your realm is truly extraordinary. If we can recruit you, our Chihuo Clan will surely be able to avenge our previous humiliation even faster."

Qiong Cang formed seals with his hands, and a huge sword seal carrying a heavy sword intent passed through thousands of sword shadows and headed straight for Li Youyang.

Li Youyang lowered his eyes and pointed his sword forward. With a loud cracking sound, the giant sword fell and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The sword seal was broken, and the cold and strong force attacked again from behind. Li Youyang turned around and formed seals with his hands to restrain the cold blade in an instant.

Qiong Cang's eyes darkened slightly, and a sword seal hit the sword. The seal formed by Li Youyang shattered instantly. He quickly dodged and retreated, while recalling the magic sword.

Qiong Cang held the sword and forced to kill, but in a moment he blocked Li Youyang's retreat. Li Youyang had no choice but to block with the sword. In an instant, the sound of thunder resounded through the sky, and the sharp steel force swept across the entire barrier.

With a loud bang, the barrier shattered. Affected by the residual force, all the grass and trees within a thousand miles were broken, and living creatures wailed. Some monks in the front were directly turned into ashes.

Feng Nuo raised his hand to regulate his breathing and surge his immortal energy, wiping the scarlet from his lips: "The strength of both sides is so terrifying!"

Lei Zijun wiped the blood from his lips and struggled to stand up: "No wonder the leader wanted to cast a barrier."

Seeing that the barrier had been broken, Li Youyang frowned, and his sword moved quickly, and a protective formation enveloped the League of Heroes.

Qiong Cang was slightly stunned: "You still care about them when fighting with me. Those trash die, so what's the pity?"

As they were talking, the two of them had already exchanged hundreds of moves.

"It was too fast! I couldn't even see a single move!"

"I can only see two afterimages, and sometimes I can't even see an afterimage!" Feng Nuo rubbed his eyebrows.

Suddenly, two figures separated and stood facing each other, each injured.

Qiong Cang couldn't help but praise him, "If you are willing to join the Red Fire Clan, I can give you a position above everyone else, second only to me in power. Are you willing?"

Li Youyang said coldly, "I don't want to."

Qiong Cang narrowed his eyes dangerously. "With such strength, if I cannot use it, I will never let you go. Think carefully. I just wanted to test your strength and didn't use my full strength. But if you refuse to surrender, I will show no mercy from now on."

Li Youyang was about to reply when Yin Yue suddenly said, "Xihe, think twice. You are absolutely no match for the Lord. Don't seek death. Besides, the Heroic Alliance is too insignificant compared to the Red Fire Clan..."

Li Youyang interrupted coldly: "No matter how powerful the Red Fire Clan is, it has nothing to do with me. I only know that as a cultivator of Jiuzhou, I swear to protect Jiuzhou to the death."

A murderous intent flashed in Qiong Cang's eyes. "What a pity! I admire your cultivation and courage, but you cannot be used by me. I can only completely wipe you out."

Yin Yue asked anxiously, "My Lord, could you allow me to talk to him again?"

Qiong Cang said in a deep voice: "Yin Yue, although you met Xihe first, you still don't understand him as well as I do. No matter how many times or how long we talk, he will not surrender."

Yin Yue clenched her fists silently. Although she was unwilling, she didn't say anything more.

Qiong Cang said solemnly, "Go and prepare for the subsequent matters. After I kill Xihe, I will officially take control of this small world. Just like before, those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish."

Yin Yue cupped his hands, opened his mouth to say something, and finally sighed. Even though he couldn't bear it, even though it was a pity, he couldn't save Xihe, and he had no right to save this person.
