Chapter 78 Blood Moon Night Si Junjian's tail had already wrapped around his ankles,...
When Gu Congxing heard Xiao Wangyou's question, his heart suddenly tightened.
He naturally knew the people whose bloodlines had awakened. They were Si Junjian and his junior brother Zhong Ming.
But Si Junjian is a descendant of the demon clan, and the junior brother even has the body of a demon. Could they be descendants of divine beasts?
Besides, he had already promised his junior brother that he would never let anyone else know about his demon blood.
Although Si Junjian's identity is now known to many people, in the world of cultivation he is still the bright and handsome first disciple of Tianlin.
"...Why do you ask this?" Gu Congxing made sure his voice sounded normal.
"I suspect the person behind this may be seeking something related to the bloodline of a divine beast." Xiao Wangyou's voice remained calm. "The annihilation of the Kong family and Jiang Zhou's death may have been due to him carrying the bloodline of a divine beast."
"But these are just two cases. In recent years, nearly a hundred people have died in the changes at the Immortal Sect."
Gu Congxing frowned in response, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
"Even if it's really related to the bloodline of a divine beast, how did the person behind this know who possessed the bloodline of a divine beast?"
Xiao Wangyou's voice fell silent for a moment, as if he was lost in thought.
"...This is indeed difficult to know. Although we share the bloodline of a divine beast, we might experience a subtle connection after the bloodline awakens, but that's only a fleeting feeling."
He paused for a moment and continued, "And as far as I know, some divine beasts don't have their bloodlines awakened afterwards."
When Gu Congxing heard him say this, the balance in his mind on whether to tell Xiao Wangyou gradually tilted towards "no".
"I understand. If I find any clues about the descendants of the divine beast's bloodline in the future, I will let you know."
Perhaps defeating Sima Huai would put an end to all this.
The voice on the other side of Mo Yu paused for a moment.
"Well... take care of yourself."
Gu Congxing raised his eyebrows in surprise, but before he could respond, the flickering light on Mo Yu had dimmed.
Xiao Wangyou, does this mean you consider me as a companion?
They clearly disliked each other before, but this feeling is really mysterious.
Gu Congxing was immersed in his own thoughts when he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from outside the house.
“Click.”
There was a very faint sound, as if something stepped on a branch.
Gu Congxing's eyes turned cold, he summoned the Whale-Slaying Sword and walked silently towards the door.
He leaned against the door and listened carefully for a moment, then suddenly pushed it open and attacked!
“Swish——”
The sharp sword suddenly struck out, and the rockery in the courtyard was hit by the sword light and instantly collapsed.
He looked around with his sword in hand, but saw no more human or demon.
Didn’t you hit it?
"Gu Congxing!"
Si Junjian rushed over here with a bow in hand and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
"I heard strange noises. But I didn't catch anyone."
Upon hearing this, Si Junjian released his spiritual power and sensed it carefully, his brows slightly furrowed.
"I didn't sense any strange movements either."
"Your Highness the Holy Son! Little Immortal Lord!"
Several demon guards also arrived, swords in hand, and lined up in a mighty formation. The leading Black Panther demon said, "We heard a loud noise, but what happened?"
Si Junjian looked around and said to Black Panther, "Something might have sneaked in. You guys should be more vigilant."
"Yes!" The leopard demon immediately bowed his head and obeyed the order, then asked, "Do we need to send someone to stay here to guard?"
"No need." Gu Congxing refused.
He didn't like strangers staying outside his door, let alone monsters.
However, he was unable to detect the cultivation level of this Black Panther Guard. Could it be that he was above the Nascent Soul stage?
Gu Congxing glanced at the leopard monster's feet as if unintentionally, and watched Si Junjian talking to the guards. Those monsters dispersed one after another.
"Gu Congxing, if you're worried, I can... stay in the same room with you."
Si Junjian rolled his eyes, seemingly nonchalant.
"You have a good plan." Gu Congxing sneered and patted his shoulder lightly, "Go back quickly, little saint."
Si Junjian snorted lightly, but the smile on the corner of his lips could not be hidden.
"If anything happens, remember to come find me."
"I know, I know."
After pushing the giant Buddha away, Gu Congxing returned to the house and immediately set up an isolation and protective barrier.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual around him, he sat quietly in the house and circulated his spiritual power.
After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, his spiritual veins became even stronger, and he still needed to consolidate them to ensure that there would be no hidden dangers in this advancement.
A golden aura lingered around him, and even when the sky outside brightened again, he did not stop practicing...
Another night fell, and Gu Congxing slowly opened his eyes.
It took a whole day longer than I expected.
A golden light flashed in Liuli's eyes, and Gu Congxing stood up and pushed the door open to leave.
The expected person did not show up. The view was empty and there was not even a sound.
Under the cover of night, there is only deep silence.
Gu Congxing frowned slightly, summoned the Whale-Slaying Sword, and immediately ran out!
A full moon hung high in the sky, its color was scarlet blood.
——It turns out that it is the night of the blood moon!
Gu Congxing ran as fast as he could, and when he approached the main hall, he smelled a faint scent of blood!
“Ahhhhhh!”
A painful roar came from the front, and Gu Congxing immediately flew up!
He was about to attack with his sword, but he froze in place when he saw the scene before him.
Inside the main hall, there was a sea of blood and corpses, just like the Asura Hell.
Under the red moonlight, the tall centaur raised the long-tailed monster's neck in his hand and slowly tightened his fingers.
The monster screamed in pain again, but with the sound of broken bones, the scream completely stopped.
Gu Congxing witnessed this scene and felt a chill run through his body.
However, at this moment, the Demon King, who had casually thrown the monster's corpse on the ground, turned his head.
"! Lord of the Underworld..." Gu Congxing clenched the hilt of the sword and looked at the demon king under the black iron mask.
Fortunately, the voice of the Lord of Hell remains the same as before.
"A friend of His Majesty the Holy Son? Why are you here?"
Gu Congxing exhaled silently and didn't approach him. He just said where he was, "I was practicing in seclusion in the house before, and I rushed here when I noticed something strange. What exactly happened?"
The Lord of Hell stood among the corpses of monsters and summoned a huge bronze spear.
"The blood demon poisoned the water source of Youdu Mountain, causing many demon tribes to go berserk and completely riot on this blood moon night."
"The guards of the Demon Capital went to the city to suppress it, but one of my palace guards was instigated by him and allowed the Blood Demon's personal soldiers to come and run wild."
Gu Congxing stared at the corpses displayed in the palace in astonishment: "So these are all the Blood Demon's personal soldiers..."
"good."
The Lord of Hell swung his spear, and his mighty body rushed out.
"I'm going to capture the blood demon. Renxiu, you stay here."
"Wait! Do you know where Si Junjian is?"
The Lord of Hell paused, feeling a sudden chill on his body.
"Son, isn't he in the back hall with you?"
When Gu Congxing thought of the dead silence when he came out, his heart suddenly sank.
He immediately turned around with his sword in hand, a flash of inspiration coming to his mind, and he asked urgently, "What kind of monster is that traitorous guard you mentioned?!"
"The Black Panther Demon Clan."
Oops!
Gu Congxing cursed inwardly and rushed towards the back hall like a meteor!
His eyes swept across the mottled shadows of the trees, and he released all his spiritual power without reservation!
The golden spiritual power seeped into the surrounding air and was suddenly interrupted when it touched the dense forest outside the rear hall.
Found it!
He flew up and chopped down the seemingly normal dense forest!
“Click—”
The sound of the barrier breaking was heard, and what was before them was no longer a quiet forest, but a brutal battlefield!
Looking at the flickering spiritual flame in front of him, Gu Congxing immediately ran towards that place!
"Destroy evil and purify karma!"
A fierce flame burst out from the spiritual sword, burning as it attacked the black panther demon clan in front!
But the demon roared and chopped with his sword, releasing the demonic power of the late Nascent Soul stage!
Not only that, his body has now grown huge and his eyes are bloodshot, which is obviously a sign of madness!
Si Junjian frowned and took a step back. Not far away was a bottomless cliff.
The long knife dripping with blood suddenly chopped out and hit Si Junjian's heart!
"Flowing Clouds, Floating Light!"
The golden sword struck out with tremendous spiritual pressure. The demon reacted very quickly and blocked it with a knife, but was still pushed back several steps.
"Si Jun Sword!"
Gu Congxing flew up, grabbed Si Junjian's arm and brought him behind the leopard monster, far away from the cliff.
"Gu Congxing?!" Si Junjian had been fighting for a long time, his face was covered with dust and a little blood was oozing out.
"Si Junjian, let me lend you a hand!"
Gu Congxing stood in front of him holding a sword, and did not notice that his pair of red eyes looked even more enchanting under the blood-red moonlight.
"……good!"
Si Junjian stood beside him, holding the sword in both hands, and whispered, "This black panther monster is extremely fast, you have to be careful!"
"Yeah." Gu Congxing looked straight ahead and held the sword across his chest.
"roar--!"
The monster swept the two of them with a violent gaze, and attacked with the blade like lightning!
What followed was the unreserved majesty of the late Nascent Soul stage!
Gu Congxing's spiritual power surged throughout his body, and the Whale-Slaying Sword made a clanging sound!
The next moment, the mighty sword was slashing straight towards the monster, and the ground was turned up wherever the sword passed!
The monster immediately dodged to the side, but a red-feathered arrowhead carrying endless flames shot towards his back.
"roar!"
The leopard demon spun around extremely quickly, but was still hit by the spiritual arrow, and blood gushed out of his left arm!
"Gu Congxing, I'll use my spiritual arrows to restrict his movements, and you'll deliver the final blow!"
"good!"
Si Junjian floated in the air, and as his spiritual power surged, his red skirt bloomed like a red lotus.
Three long arrows were placed on the bow. His back was straight, the muscles on his long arms were tense, and the bowstring was like a full moon.
“Swish!”
Three streaks of fire flashed across the long night, and spiritual arrows hit the leopard monster like heavenly fire!
The leopard demon's muscles were tensed. He had just avoided one spiritual arrow, but the other two had already blocked his way!
"roar!!"
"From the stars, now is the time—!"
The Whale-Slaying Sword made a buzzing sound, and golden light gathered on it, turning into boundless sword intent!
“Liuyun·Wuxiang——!”
The sharp sword intent flew out, and the tremendous spiritual pressure directly hit the leopard monster's heart!
"roar!!!"
The leopard demon let out a long roar and collapsed in a pool of blood.
Si Junjian fell to Gu Congxing's side. The two young men's chests were still heaving and they were gasping for breath.
"...Dead?" Gu Congxing asked in a low voice.
Si Junjian walked to the side of the leopard monster, observed it for a moment, and nodded solemnly.
"call."
Gu Congxing let out a long breath.
Fortunately, the two of them cooperated well, otherwise if they were to face this raptor leopard monster alone, they would definitely be in great danger.
Seeing that Si Junjian was still standing blankly beside the leopard monster's corpse, Gu Congxing frowned and walked towards him.
"Si Jun Sword?"
He reached out to pull Si Junjian, but was suddenly thrown away.
"Hey! Si Junjian?!"
Gu Congxing walked to his side and turned him to face him.
He met a pair of crimson vertical pupils.
"?!you……"
Not only did Si Junjian's pupils become demonic, but three spiritual patterns also appeared on his face.
He tightly grasped the Sword of Evil Slaying in one hand and covered his face with the other.
On that hand, sharp nails, only those of monsters, had grown.
Gu Congxing looked at him in astonishment, and the red light of the sky suddenly reflected in his eyes.
That’s right, it’s a blood moon!
The night of the blood moon will naturally make the blood of the demon clan unstable, and Si Junjian will definitely be difficult to suppress after experiencing fierce battles!
The half-human, half-demon in front of him rolled his throat and made a sound like a beast's roar.
"……Walk!"
"Leave me alone, go!"
Gu Congxing looked at him and silently clenched his fists.
Should I leave? After this night is over, maybe he will be back to normal?
No, it's not possible.
The blood demon started a riot, and even the guard leader inside the demon palace drew his sword against him. How could he be sure that no other demon beasts would attack the Holy Son?!
He looks like a fish on the chopping board!
"No! I want to stay by your side!"
"……you!"
At this moment, Si Junjian's spiritual power was turbulent, his demonic power surged, and even his ears and tail appeared one after another.
He gritted his teeth, took a step back, and flew away without looking back!
“Si Jun Sword——!”
Gu Congxing was caught off guard by his sudden escape. Just as he was about to get up and chase him, he heard a loud shout:
“Don’t come over here!!”
Gu Congxing watched his figure disappear into the sky, hesitated for a moment, then flew after him on his sword!
He followed Si Junjian's spiritual power and landed in a cave in the mountains.
"Si Jun Sword?"
Gu Congxing took out a night-shining pearl and illuminated the dark cave.
“Huh, huh…”
Hearing a slight gasp, he immediately rushed there.
The white light illuminated a huge furry tail, which trembled and immediately retracted into its owner's arms.
Gu Congxing lifted the night pearl a little higher and saw the man's face.
Si Junjian's eyes were completely red at this time, and the three spiritual patterns on his forehead were flashing silver light.
When he met Gu Congxing's gaze, his white ears stood up and he bared his teeth and growled at him.
"go out!!"
As the word rolled out of his throat, the demonic power in his body suddenly surged!
Gu Congxing paused and stopped moving forward.
There was only a coldness in those phoenix eyes that usually sparkled with bright light.
“…Let’s go.”
But just as he turned around, he was entangled by something.
...?
He looked down and saw a long, fluffy orange tail had curled around his ankle.
The tail was getting tighter and tighter, preventing him from moving forward.
Gu Congxing raised his eyebrows and turned around to see that enchanting and beautiful face still looking at him with bared teeth.
His throat rolled and he growled again.
"Go away!!"
Gu Congxing: ...?
He chuckled and bent down to stroke the long, fluffy tail.
The slender white fingers grasped the tail, slid slowly towards the base of the tail, and pinched it gently.
Si Junjian's face suddenly turned red and his whole body trembled.
Gu Congxing glanced at his trembling white ears and sneered, "Very comfortable?"
“…No, you…” Si Junjian’s fangs became sharper and sharper. He bit his lips, as if trying hard to suppress something.
"Go quickly, otherwise I won't be able to control myself."
The red vertical pupils flashed with a strange luster. Si Junjian stared straight at Gu Congxing and swallowed his saliva.
"I will hurt you."
But Gu Congxing didn't care and rubbed his tail again, saying with a smile: "Oh, really? Why are you always so awkward..."
Feeling the stimulation from the base of the tail, the red demon eyes suddenly widened.
The next moment, the red-eyed monster was no longer suppressed and flew straight up!
