Chapter 39 The cat is seriously injured
Li Xiuyuan stepped out from the shadows. The mask that always wore a smile on his face had long since disappeared, revealing a distorted and almost hideous face.
He stared at Bai Qingchen intently, his eyes flashing with madness and cruelty like a hungry wolf that had found food.
After Bai Qingchen saw who was coming, he thought to himself that it was not good. It seemed that it was really difficult for him to go out recently. It was too late to regret now.
"I was just worried about finding a chance to strike, but I didn't expect you to run into my sword. You've ruined Long Er and ruined my reputation. Today, I'll make you pay with your life for all the new and old grudges!"
The terrifying aura of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator was no longer reserved on his body, and it was like an invisible mountain pressing down, instantly filling the narrow alley.
The air seemed to have turned into a sticky quagmire, so heavy that it was suffocating.
The three masked men in the Foundation Establishment stage turned pale under this pressure, their breathing became difficult, and they retreated involuntarily, their eyes filled with fear. They hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Young Master!"
Li Xiuyuan ignored their greetings. All he had eyes for was Bai Qingchen, who was leaning against the wall with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth and a pale face.
He slowly raised his right hand, and a strange long sword that was completely black and wrapped with wisps of ominous black energy appeared in his palm. It was the Blood-Eroding Sword that made him famous.
The tip of the sword pointed at Bai Qingchen from afar, and the cold murderous intent was like a real cold wave, completely submerging Bai Qingchen.
"Get out of here, young master!" Li Xiuyuan's voice trembled slightly with excitement and murderous intent.
"His life can only be taken by me personally. Bai Qingchen, this is where you will be buried today!"
"Today, I want you to be unable to live or die!" Li Xiuyuan grinned, and his figure approached like a ghost. The Blood-Eroding Sword drew a cold white trajectory and pierced Bai Qingchen's heart!
Before the sword arrived, the cold and vicious sword intent had already made Bai Qingchen feel like he was falling into an icy cave.
Bai Qingchen's pupils suddenly shrank, and his mind raced with only one thought: he couldn't take it head-on.
He forced his spiritual energy to move forward, causing his body to lean back sharply at an extremely awkward angle.
“Swish!”
The cold sword energy brushed past the front of his shirt, turning the cloth into powder in an instant. He luckily dodged the attack.
"Humph, you can dodge it once, but can you dodge it ten times?"
Li Xiuyuan's eyes were filled with the cruel pleasure of a cat playing with a mouse. The Blood-Eroding Sword was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and each move was ruthless and aimed directly at the vital points.
The alley was narrow, and Bai Qingchen's movements were restricted. He could only summon frost and snow to block and dodge instinctively.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The sounds of metal clashing were as dense as rain.
Every block was accompanied by a huge recoil force that hit Bai Qingchen's arms and internal organs.
More and more blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, his steps staggered, the spiritual power in his body was rapidly consumed, and his meridians felt an unbearable pain.
The gap between realms is like a natural chasm. In the face of absolute strength, skills and dodging seem so pale.
There was no chance of a talisman cultivator and a sword cultivator winning in close combat. No! They would surely die if this continued! Bai Qingchen's heart was filled with alarm.
Zhou Yan's implicit warning before leaving flashed through his mind, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
Just when Li Xiuyuan was about to chop him with his sword and seriously injure him, the mysterious martial arts in Bai Qingchen's body started to operate crazily in a nearly self-destructive manner!
The Qi sea in the Dantian seemed to be ignited, and a violent spiritual power far beyond the initial stage of foundation building suddenly exploded.
The air wave spread out with Bai Qingchen as the center, and actually deflected Li Xiuyuan's fatal sword by several inches.
Bai Qingchen took the opportunity to roll out in a panic, avoiding the vital parts, but his left shoulder was hit by the sword energy, and his skin was immediately torn apart, revealing the bone, and blood instantly dyed half of his body red.
The forced improvement of cultivation caused the pupils in those deep eyes to shrink and elongate instantly, turning into cold vertical pupils.
A ferocious aura emanated from him uncontrollably. What was even more shocking was that among his originally jet-black hair, the outline of a pair of furry animal ears appeared faintly!
Behind him, the shadow of a fluffy tail that had not yet fully formed flashed by.
"What?" Li Xiuyuan was shocked by this sudden change and took a step back. Then his face showed extreme disgust and contempt.
"Half-demon? Turns out you're just a filthy beast. The Lingxiao Sect is truly blind to let someone like you sneak in!"
The vicious insults were like poisonous needles, piercing Bai Qingchen's heart and making his pupils even colder and more piercing.
But he had no time to be angry at the moment. The power that he had forcibly increased to the late stage of foundation building was surging wildly in his meridians, bringing him heart-wrenching pain and rapidly consuming his spiritual power.
This power cannot last long.
"Die, bastard!"
Li Xiuyuan was completely enraged, and the blood-eroding sword emitted a bright white light. A sword aura as condensed as substance tore through the air and slashed down with a breath of destruction!
This sword is far more powerful than before!
Bai Qingchen's pupils constricted, the shadow of death had never been so clear.
He gritted his teeth, ignoring the severe pain in his meridians, and poured all the forcefully increased strength into the amulet. The blue spiritual power shield instantly enveloped Bai Qingchen.
“Boom!”
The white and blue lights collided violently, making a deafening noise. The violent energy shock wave instantly collapsed most of the walls on both sides of the alley, and smoke, dust and debris flew all over the sky!
The amulet shattered, and Bai Qingchen flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, slamming hard into a broken wall in the distance, causing the wall to crack.
He spat out a mouthful of blood. It was too much of a struggle for him to fight against the Golden Core at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. The force he forcibly increased also showed a tendency to decline.
Li Xiuyuan was knocked back two steps, his blood boiling, but he was only slightly injured.
Looking at Bai Qingchen lying in the ruins, covered in blood, a cruel and satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Ants are just ants. So what if they are forced to improve? Half-demon hybrids are trash after all!" Li Xiuyuan walked towards Bai Qingchen step by step, dragging the Blood-Eroding Sword on the ground, making a harsh scraping sound.
"I told you I'll make you wish you were dead, but you can't live!"
He walked up to Bai Qingchen and looked down at him condescendingly, his eyes full of mockery and cruelty.
He did not kill him immediately, but raised his foot and stepped hard on Bai Qingchen's injured left shoulder.
“Ugh—!”
The excruciating pain almost made Bai Qingchen faint, and blood gushed out of his wounds and mouth.
"Does it hurt? This is just the beginning!" Li Xiuyuan grinned and rolled hard with his feet.
"Do you remember how you caused me to be disgraced in front of everyone in Lingxiao Sect? I was stripped of everything and locked up like a dog! For the past two years, I've been thinking about this day all the time!"
Bai Qingchen's consciousness sank in the dizziness of severe pain and blood loss, his vision began to blur, and a strong desire to survive supported his last bit of clarity.
His blood-stained fingers struggled to reach for a dark yellow teleportation talisman at his waist. This was a gift from Su Yue to him before, and he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
While Li Xiuyuan was immersed in the pleasure of revenge and the strength on his feet was slightly loosened, Bai Qingchen crushed the talisman!
A faint but not negligible spatial fluctuation spread out instantly!
"What?" Li Xiuyuan's face changed drastically. He felt the space under his feet twisting, and subconsciously drew his sword and stabbed at Bai Qingchen's heart.
Bai Qingchen dodged to the side and the sharp tip of the sword pierced into Bai Qingchen's abdomen, but just as the tip of the sword was about to penetrate completely, the power of the teleportation talisman exploded.
With a swish.
Bai Qingchen's figure disappeared in the twisted ripples of space, leaving only a large, glaring bloodstain and a faint smell of blood in the air.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the empty ground, was stunned at first, then became furious, and roared wildly at the three men.
He was just about to kill Bai Qingchen to avenge his previous humiliation, how could he bear this?
With a gloomy face, Li Xiuyuan took out a black scorpion that exuded an ominous aura from his arms, with its sharp tail hook pointing to one place.
Li Xiuyuan shouted at his men, "Chase him! He's been poisoned by me and can't get far! I'll dig him out and tear him into pieces no matter where he goes!"
"Yes!" The three men in black ran in the direction Scorpion pointed and disappeared in an instant.
