Chapter 80: Cat Bloodbath at the Bai Family Banquet
At the moment when Bai Zhenyu was eliminated, Gu Xuan, who had been sitting still, finally took action.
He was like a ghost without substance, moving at an incredible speed, but his target was not the unfathomable man in black, but Bai Qingchen who was standing next to him and was obviously weaker.
He could see that the mysterious man had a high level of cultivation and there was no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation, but as long as he could capture Bai Qingchen and use him as a threat, there might be a glimmer of hope.
"Little kid, you look familiar to me. You look like a woman I once killed. As a mortal, she was able to cut off one of my fingers. Guess how I killed her in the end."
Gu Xuan let out a strange laugh, his body erratic, easily avoiding several fierce talisman attacks thrown by Bai Qingchen. His skinny hands like ghost claws were wrapped in sticky black demonic energy and went straight for Bai Qingchen's vital points.
"The sound she made before she died is still so moving and beautiful when I think about it now."
Bai Qingchen knew that this person wanted to provoke him so that he would be overwhelmed by anger and lose his mind. He naturally would not be fooled easily, but he was also affected mentally.
"Prepare to die!" Bai Qingchen was rarely angry.
The real fierce battle broke out instantly.
Gu Xuan's cultivation had reached at least the early stage of the Golden Core, and his combat experience was terrifyingly rich.
His martial arts were sinister and vicious, his moves were tricky and strange, and they were highly corrosive.
Although Bai Qingchen has a solid foundation and is skilled in the use of talismans and formations, the gap between the foundation-building stage and the golden elixir stage is like a chasm.
He soon fell into an absolute disadvantage.
"You are a demon cultivator!"
Although Bai Qingchen had anticipated that the demonic plague was not something that ordinary cultivators could control, he was still shocked after seeing Gu Xuan's moves. The demonic cultivators now appeared so blatantly, and he was afraid that they were planning something in secret.
Hearing Bai Qingchen reveal his true identity, Gu Xuan was not annoyed: "Hahaha, so what if I know, you are destined to leave this place today!"
Swish!
A demonic energy brushed against Bai Qingchen's shoulder, corroding the fabric of his clothes instantly and causing his skin and flesh to roll up, leaving a wound deep enough to see the bone. Blood quickly dyed his white clothes red.
Seeing this, the mysterious man moved slightly, as if wanting to help, but Bai Qingchen raised his hand to stop him.
Bai Qingchen took a step back, and several more scars appeared on his body. The evil energy invaded his body, bringing waves of bone-chilling coldness.
The person in front of him was one of the culprits who killed his parents. New and old grudges were boiling in his heart. Bai Qingchen didn't want the mysterious man to interfere, so he let them resolve their grudge themselves.
Bai Qingchen's eyes were red, almost bleeding, as if he had made some kind of decision.
An aura belonging to the demon race emanated from him, along with a sudden surge of powerful strength.
Bai Qingchen's cultivation increased instantly, and a pair of furry, snow-white cat ears with silver tips suddenly emerged from between his hair. This change made his originally handsome face look even more weird, and his aura became dangerous and wild.
With the strength forcibly increased by the power of blood, Bai Qingchen actually managed to make up for some of the disadvantages. His attacks became swift and fierce, with a speed that left no room for evasion, and for a moment forced Gu Xuan to be unable to resist.
"Demon bloodline?"
Gu Xuan's eyes flashed with surprise, and then turned into deeper greed and ferocity. "I haven't tasted the blood of the demon race yet, but I'm just forcing it to stimulate you. Let's see how long you can hold out!"
Just as Gu Xuan expected, this outburst could not last too long. After a few breaths, Bai Qingchen's breath began to recede, his speed slowed down significantly, and his face became a little pale.
Ever since the incident at Muling, Bai Qingchen has devoted himself to studying methods to control the power of his blood.
Although stimulating the bloodline now will not cause complete loss of consciousness like in the beginning, the cost is still not small. It will consume a huge amount of spiritual energy and will also make one weak afterwards.
Fortunately, with the help of the new spirit gathering formation, he can still hold on for a few more breaths, but the revealed demon ears cannot be perfectly hidden for the time being.
When the mysterious man saw Bai Qingchen's appearance at this moment, a light seemed to flash in his eyes and his eyebrows raised slightly.
Seeing Bai Qingchen gradually running out of strength, Gu Xuan's eyes lit up with murderous intent: "Go to hell!"
He no longer held back, clasped his hands together suddenly, muttered something, and demonic energy surged wildly around him.
An incomparably huge ghost claw condensed out of thin air. This ghost claw was made up of countless white bones. Countless painful and twisted resentful souls were entangled in the gaps between the bones, and they were emitting shrill screams.
A strong smell of death filled the air, causing the remaining guests in the hall to tremble and almost faint.
The ghost claw, with the momentum of destroying everything, tore through the air and grabbed towards Bai Qingchen's head, about to tear him into pieces.
Just when the terrifying ghost claw condensed by the resentful soul of the white bones was about to tear Bai Qingchen apart, the mysterious man in black clothes who had been standing quietly watching finally moved.
He didn't take action before because he knew Bai Qingchen's obsession with this blood feud.
He respected his decision, but respect did not mean that he would watch Bai Qingchen being severely injured in front of him. He would never allow such a thing to happen.
The mysterious man's actions were extremely simple. He did not use any magic weapon, nor did he chant any incantations. He simply gently grasped the huge ghost claw that exuded a terrifying aura that was enough to scare even a Jindan cultivator.
Snap——!
A hair-raising cracking sound suddenly rang out, and the ghost hand was instantly crushed like a piece of glass jade.
The resentful spirits entangled with it let out even more shrill screams, and in the horrified eyes of the crowd, they turned into evil energy floating all over the sky and quickly disappeared.
Bai Qing had deliberately acted helpless in order to lure Gu Xuan into attacking him, and then he would take the opportunity to kill him. Even if the mysterious man did not take action, he would at most be seriously injured.
This is the best time. The moment the ghost hand disappeared, Bai Qingchen's figure teleported in front of Gu Xuan, and the talisman in his hand that he had thrown out earlier was activated instantly.
Gu Xuanru was hit by a heavy hammer, and he flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and hit the hard wall of the hall hard.
The solid wall was instantly covered with spider-web-like cracks. Blood gushed out of Gu Xuan's mouth, and the sound of bones breaking came from all over his body. The demonic energy dissipated like deflated air.
He raised his head in horror and looked in the direction of the mysterious man. His turbid eyes were filled with boundless fear, as if he was not looking at a person, but an irresistible killing god from the abyss.
He neutralized his ultimate move so easily. If he had not unleashed his strongest attack without any defense, this little demon would not have been able to hurt him.
Escape! Must escape immediately! Gu Xuan only had this one thought at the moment. Their great plan was almost complete. As long as he was alive, there would be plenty of opportunities to avenge today's shame in the future.
