Chapter 44: Money to Buy a Life?



Zhang Zhenghai and the others watched this scene with some surprise and doubt. It seemed that the two knew each other.

Fortunately, the situation did not develop in the worst direction. Although the two seemed to know each other, they seemed to have a grudge against each other. Otherwise, it would have been an intractable deadlock.

Even so, the situation is not much better!

How could Lin Xiuyuan, a newly recruited disciple, possibly deal with such a demonic cultivator...?

What's more, the other party is a whole realm higher!

"A trap? It's the same for both of us. The trap my senior left me wasn't small either!"

Lin Xiuyuan replied casually, his expression extremely gloomy, his eyes constantly scanning the scene, his heart sinking deeper and deeper.

Although I encountered an "old friend," this old friend was not very friendly!

More than ten years have passed. Although he has become stronger, his opponent has also become stronger.

If it's just someone at the level of a Golden Mirror expert, then there's naturally nothing to fear, and they might even be able to kill them!

But the opponent is Bloodhand Illusion Demon, a powerful demonic cultivator who escaped all the way to the border of Liang Kingdom despite being surrounded and attacked, including by Foundation Establishment experts!

He had even witnessed the other party's attack firsthand and knew very well how strong Bloodhand Illusion Demon was. Even when he was seriously injured, he could still use secret techniques to easily suppress a Foundation Establishment mid-stage expert who was also a cultivator from the same sect.

Although he was involved in that battle, he was merely an assistant.

The two sides are vastly different in strength.

He alone is no match for them; he might be able to save his own life, though.

But... now, it seems he's the only one left to face the Bloodhand Illusion Demon.

Is running away the only option...?

Lin Xiuyuan's gaze swept over Zhang Zhenghai and the other two. All three were extremely weak, and there was no aura of any restriction on their bodies. There was only a binding restriction force, as if there was no powerful means to restrain them. The three of them were already powerless to resist.

All three were listless, pale-faced, and their brows were furrowed, as if they were suppressing something.

Although the exact cause is unclear, it's not hard to guess that they were all poisoned by the Soul-Disrupting Powder!

When Lin Xiuyuan realized something was wrong, he immediately held his breath, not afraid of being poisoned by the Soul-Disrupting Powder.

It seems that they really have no choice but to flee... The three of them have been poisoned by the Soul-Disrupting Powder, and it looks quite serious. They have no way to control their magical power and are no longer capable of fighting!

"Hehe, don't worry, considering we once 'fought side by side,' I'll give you a quick death, I won't let you suffer any torment, isn't that fair?"

Bloodhand Illusion Demon's face was full of amusement. Although there was a lot of grudge between them, it couldn't overshadow his killing intent. He had wanted to kill Lin Xiuyuan for a long time, but due to the situation, he could only swallow his anger.

Now that they have met again, Lin Xiuyuan is trapped like a turtle in a jar, and Blood Hand Illusion Demon can't help but feel a sense of relief and pleasure.

"So, are you going to obediently surrender now, or are you planning to struggle a little longer? Judging from your posture, you're thinking of choosing the latter, aren't you?"

A playful yet sinister smile appeared on Bloodhand Phantom Demon's face. He slowly raised his hand, and a deep red light seemed to flicker in his palm. An invisible, pungent, and strong smell of blood permeated the air.

With the outcome already decided, he wasn't in a hurry and looked at Lin Xiuyuan with a mocking expression.

However, his expression quickly changed, revealing a look of surprise.

As Lin Xiuyuan waved his hand, a red light appeared, and then Huo Yun's enormous body appeared in front of him. The bright red and beautiful snake body suddenly flickered with wisps of flame, bursting out a terrifying aura, which brought a strange beauty to the scene.

Upon seeing this, Bloodhand Illusion Demon seemed to light up, showing no surprise but rather a hint of delight on his face.

Although it was somewhat surprising that Lin Xiuyuan would have such a fire python, especially one at the Foundation Establishment stage, it was only at the initial stage, so what?

Even if there were two more, let alone one, what difference would it make? It wouldn't change the outcome in the slightest!

Although it's only a small difference in cultivation level, once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, your magical power is profound and surging. A difference of just one small cultivation level can result in a difference of at least several times!

Especially since he was close to the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, the gap widened even further. Not to mention his extremely strong combat power, ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators were no match for him!

Therefore, even though Lin Xiuyuan is no longer the same as before, and Huo Yun can still activate the Black Fire Eye, he still feels that he has no confidence in facing the other party head-on in the face of such a gap. He only has a slight confidence in escaping!

With such a vast difference in strength, Blackfire Eyes can't hold them off for long, probably only two or three breaths? That's far too little time to break through their protective spell.

"As expected, fellow Daoist is not so simple. Your aura is several times stronger than before, and you even have a Foundation Establishment stage fire python. No wonder you were so confident back then."

Upon seeing this scene, Bloodhand Illusion Demon was pleasantly surprised, but also somewhat astonished. He did not know that Huo Yun had broken through later, so when he recalled the past, he thought he had guessed the reason why Lin Xiuyuan was so tough when facing him.

However, this is insignificant, and Bloodhand Illusion Demon doesn't care about it. What happened then is what happened now. However, the Fire Python, which was in an early Foundation Establishment stage, was not in good condition at the time and might have been wary of it, with the possibility of being caught off guard and losing control.

To resolve this issue now would only require a little more effort!

But wouldn't it be a waste to just kill this fire python like that?

"Heh, fellow Daoist, is this your money to buy your life?"

Bloodhand Illusion Demon smiled broadly and glanced at Lin Xiuyuan with amusement. Although the early Foundation Establishment stage fire python was powerful, both sides knew that even two more would be no match for him.
