Chapter 45: Blood Sea Chasing Life, Shura's Wrath
In the small fishing village of the East China Sea, the former tranquility is gone, replaced by flames, thick blood and desperate cries.
Shan Gudao's men descended like ghosts, searching for the "Sea Soul Crystal," a secret treasure hidden beneath the village ancestral hall, guarded by generations of villagers but unknown to them. Without hesitation, they raised their knives. The elderly, the weak, women, and children were not spared, their simple homes were set ablaze, and screams and the sounds of slaughter tore through the sea breeze.
By the time Di Feisheng, following another clue about the sacrifice, arrived, still stained with blood and filled with murderous intent, the slaughter was nearly over. Shan Gudao's men had already secured their prize and were rapidly withdrawing with the deep-sea-like crystal, leaving behind only a shattered mess of ruins and corpses.
The air was filled with the sickening smell of burning and blood. Di Feisheng's face was icy, his gaze sweeping across this living hell. He showed no interest in the villagers' lives, only in whether the offerings were taken. Confirming his target was lost, a rage welled up in his eyes. He was about to turn and chase Shan Gudao when he heard faint, childlike sobs and struggling sounds from among the huddled survivors.
The sound was extremely faint, but it inexplicably pierced his ears. He subconsciously glanced over—
Just one glance and I felt like I was struck by lightning, and all the blood in my body froze instantly!
Among the shivering, bedraggled survivors, a white-haired figure was crouching down, trying to hide. He was dressed in rags, pitifully thin, with long, snow-white hair draped in a mess, covering most of his face.
But Di Feisheng would never make a mistake! That was the figure that was etched into his bones and integrated into his blood! It was the person who drove him mad, made him walk through a sea of blood, and made him suffer unbearable pain!
"Li... Lianhua...?" He growled hoarsely, almost in disbelief, his voice trembling with extreme shock and ecstasy. All the killing, all the sacrifices, all the hatred were thrown out of his mind at this moment! Only that figure remained in his eyes!
He rushed forward recklessly like a madman, roughly pushing away the villagers who were blocking his way, staggering to the white-haired man, and stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to touch the face he had been thinking about day and night!
"It's you...it's really you! You're still alive! You're still..." A huge ecstasy hit his heart, almost bursting it! He had been searching for too long, despairing for too long, and now that he had lost and found it again, he completely lost his mind!
However, just when his fingers were about to touch the other person——
The white-haired man suddenly raised his head, revealing a pale, thin face, yet still revealing its once handsome features. But in those eyes, there was none of the warmth, cunning, or affection that Di Feisheng was familiar with. Instead, there was only utter, animal-like fear and emptiness! He was so frightened by the overwhelming smell of blood and the terrifying murderous aura emanating from Di Feisheng that he trembled violently. With a scream, he suddenly retreated, crawling on his hands and feet in an attempt to escape!
"Don't... don't come over! There's so much blood... I'm scared... Afu... Brother Afu, save me!" He cried incoherently, his voice broken, with a child's panic and helplessness, and his eyes were full of complete strangeness and resistance!
Di Feisheng's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and his ecstatic expression instantly froze and shattered, turning into unbelievable astonishment and pain!
He doesn't know him?
Is he afraid of him?
He told him... not to go over there?
"Li Lianhua? What's wrong with you? Look carefully! It's me! I'm Di Feisheng!" Di Feisheng's heart ached and he tried to get closer again, his voice anxious and hoarse.
But when he took a step forward, the white-haired man took a step back in fear, curled up into a ball, buried his face in his arms, and trembled like a leaf in the autumn wind. He could only repeat: "Go away... the smell of blood... disgusting... scared... wuwu..."
That pure, unfeigned fear and resistance, like a poisoned ice blade, pierced Di Feisheng's heart! He suddenly realized his current appearance—covered in blood, filled with murderous aura, like an Asura who had just crawled out of hell... And this appearance actually frightened the person he was desperately trying to find!
"I..." Di Feisheng subconsciously tried to retreat, to explain, but he found his throat was blocked, unable to utter a single word. He looked at the trembling, completely unfamiliar figure, and a terrifying, suffocating thought suddenly emerged: he had lost not only his memory, but even his mind...
At this moment, the sound of Shan Gudao's men retreating and the faint sound of whistles were heard in the distance.
Di Feisheng snapped back to his senses, his eyes instantly filled with rage and murderous intent! It was Shan Gudao! These people had caused this massacre, frightened him! They had taken the sacrifice, nearly causing him to miss Li Lianhua again!
He took a deep look at the white-haired man who was still trembling in fear, and forcibly suppressed the severe pain and madness that was surging in his heart. He turned abruptly and roared at Wuyan and the others who were rushing up behind him, "Protect him! If anything goes wrong, I will make sure you all die with him!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure was like a bloody arrow shot from a bow, carrying a murderous aura that could destroy the world, and he chased madly in the direction where Shan Gudao retreated!
At this moment, neither the sacrifices nor the Rama Ding are important.
He wanted to tear into pieces those who disturbed or hurt Li Lianhua!
In the ruins, Wuyan and others approached the white-haired man cautiously and in disbelief, trying to comfort him.
The man simply raised his head, his tear-stained eyes fixed on the direction where the flute's sound had vanished. His eyes were filled with pure fear and confusion, as if he had just experienced an incomprehensible, horrific nightmare. He subconsciously curled up, seeking the remaining warmth of Ah Fu's body, the only familiar figure beside him, now frozen cold.
Di Feisheng's figure was like a flash of blood-red lightning tearing through the night, frantically shuttling between the rugged reefs and woodlands along the seashore. He no longer saw the world, nothing in the universe, only the rapidly retreating shadows in front of him and the pair of completely unfamiliar eyes filled with fear in his mind!
Li Lianhua…his Li Lianhua…had actually become like that! His hair was as white as frost, his mind was like a child’s, and seeing him…he trembled with fear as if he had seen a Shura seeking his life!
Who was it?! Who had brought him to this state?!
Was it the backlash of the green tea poison? Was it the price of the forbidden life-shattering technique? Or was it... these scum who had caused this massacre and disturbed him?!
"Single! Solitary! Knife——!!!"
A roar filled with raging rage and bone-deep hatred shook the night sky, like the wail of a dying beast, terrifying to the very ears! The speed of the flute suddenly increased to an extreme, and wherever it passed, waves of wind surged, and even grass and trees shattered!
Shan Gudao's men who were evacuating in front turned back in horror upon hearing the sound, and saw a black shadow wrapped in endless murderous intent approaching at an incredible speed. The murderous aura was so thick that it almost condensed into substance!
"Stop him!" Shan Gudao's face changed slightly, and he shouted sternly, but he accelerated towards the ship anchored in a hidden place. He knew very well how terrifying the sound of the angry flute could be, and this was definitely not the time to confront him head-on!
Several warriors turned around fearlessly to meet the enemy, with swords drawn and poison darts and hidden weapons raining down on the sound of the flute!
"Get out of here!" Di Feisheng didn't even draw his sword, but instead thrust out with both palms. Bei Feng Bai Zhang's violent internal force was like a real tsunami, blasting out!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The screams abruptly stopped! The few assassins in the front were like being hit by an invisible giant hammer, their bones and muscles shattered instantly, and they exploded into a cloud of blood mist! The subsequent poison darts and hidden weapons collided with this invisible wall of air and were blown back, instead shooting down the assassins behind them!
Di Feisheng didn't even pause as he charged directly into the enemy formation! He didn't even use any other moves, just the most primitive and violent crushing! Palm slaps, fist strikes, elbow strikes, knee strikes... Every part of his body transformed into the most terrifying killing weapon!
Snap! Puff! Ah——!
The sounds of bones breaking, flesh tearing, and the screams of death were endless! He was like a mad tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, leaving limbs and arms flying everywhere he passed, and blood dyed the ground red! No one could stop him even for a moment! He would tear apart all those who stood in his way in the most bloody and cruel way!
Shan Gudao glanced back at this hellish scene, his eyes twitching violently, his heart trembling with horror! He knew Di Feisheng was powerful, but he hadn't expected that after being seriously injured and fighting for days, he could still unleash such devastating power! This was a completely reckless fighting style!
"Shoot! Shoot quickly!" He shouted to the people on the boat.
A dense rain of arrows poured down from the boat, covering the sound of the flute!
A flash of frantic disdain flashed in Di Feisheng's crimson eyes. He didn't even flinch, his body shielded by Beifeng Baizhang's inner energy. He charged forward, braving the hail of arrows! Arrows shattered and bounced off the inner energy, occasionally piercing through it and piercing him. He remained oblivious, as if incapable of pain, his killing spree only accelerated!
He wanted to kill! Kill all of them! To avenge the man who was trembling with fear!
Finally, he killed the last blocking assassin, and appeared in front of Shan Gudao, covered in blood, like a demon crawling out of a pool of blood! There was only a short distance of ten feet between the two!
"Leave the things behind!" Di Feisheng's voice was hoarse and broken, but it had a chilling penetrating power. His figure penetrated through the heavy obstacles like a ghost, and slapped Shan Gudao in the face!
Shan Gudao was horrified, and hastily stuffed the Sea Soul Crystal into his arms, then used all his strength to meet the attack with a palm strike!
"boom--!"
The two palms collided fiercely! The energy exploded!
Shan Gudao only felt an unmatched force coming at him like a tidal wave. His entire arm instantly made a sound of bones cracking under the weight. His internal organs seemed to be shattered. His throat felt sweet, blood spurted out, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string!
A fierce look flashed in Di Feisheng's eyes, and he chased after him without mercy. The second palm, filled with murderous intent, struck Shan Gudao's heart again! If this palm landed, Shan Gudao would surely die!
At this critical moment——
“Sh ...
Several extremely subtle, almost silent sounds of breaking through the air came from the side and rear! They were not shot towards Di Feisheng, but towards the ground in front of him!
“Puff, puff, puff!”
Several poison needles as thin as cow hair and shining with a faint purple luster sank into the ground. In an instant, a thick and dizzying pink sweet smoke suddenly exploded and spread rapidly. Not only did it completely block the vision, but the smoke also had a strong corrosive and psychedelic effect!
As the sound of the flute flew, his palm slammed into the smoke, and he felt his internal energy stagnate slightly, and his skin stung! He suddenly held his breath and stepped back, waving his sleeve to shake off the smoke, his eyes icy as he swept towards the source of the poison needle!
A slender and enchanting figure, like a poisonous scorpion in the dark night, appeared silently on the broken wall not far away. It was Jiao Liqiao! She had a charming yet vicious smile on her face, and in her hand she was playing with an exquisite poison-infused blowpipe.
"Your Majesty, it's been a while since we last met, yet you're still so angry?" Jiao Liqiao said with a sweet smile, but her eyes were as cold as a snake. "Why hurt my feelings over a dead object?"
Taking advantage of the moment when the smoke blocked her view, she shook her wrist, and an extremely tough black silk thread accurately wrapped around the waist of Shan Gudao, who was seriously injured and lying on the ground, and suddenly dragged him backwards!
Di Feisheng's eyes flashed blood: "Jiao Liqiao! You are looking for death!" He ignored the poisonous fog and rushed forward again, his palm wind directly hitting Jiao Liqiao!
Jiao Liqiao chuckled, and instead of dodging, she aimed her blowpipe at the Sea Soul Crystal in the arms of Shan Gudao, who was being dragged to her side, and pretended to blow: "If your majesty takes another step forward, I cannot guarantee that this treasure will remain intact~"
Di Feisheng's offensive suddenly stagnated! He didn't care whether Shan Gudao lived or died, but this Sea Soul Crystal was one of the key sacrifices and it couldn't be lost!
Just this moment of hesitation!
A hint of cunning success flashed in Jiao Liqiao's eyes, and she suddenly threw out several bullets!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The projectile exploded, not as an attack, but rather as a massive, inky black smoke that obscured vision and perception! Simultaneously, the mechanism beneath her feet activated, sending her plummeting downwards alongside Shan Gu Dao—unbelievably, there lay a hidden tunnel already dug beneath the broken wall!
"The sound of the flute! When the Rama Cauldron is completed, I must make Mi come back to me!" Jiao Liqiao's resentful voice came faintly from the tunnel and quickly faded away.
Di Feisheng roared, and a violent palm wind blasted away the black fog. He rushed to the tunnel entrance, but saw only a deep and winding passage, and no one was in sight! Jiao Liqiao had obviously been prepared, and the escape route was extremely meticulously arranged!
"Bang!" He punched the rock wall at the entrance of the cave hard, and gravel flew everywhere!
He was a step too slow after all! He let the two culprits slip away right under his nose!
But… he suddenly remembered something and looked down at his palm. Just now, when he was clashing with Shan Gudao, his internal energy seemed to have pulled something out of his arms…
He spread out his palm, and a crystal the size of a pigeon egg, dark blue in color, with deep sea waves flowing inside, was lying quietly in his palm, emitting a cold breath - it was the "Sea Soul Crystal"!
Although I failed to kill the enemy, I got the sacrifice back!
Di Feisheng clutched the Sea Soul Crystal tightly, the cold touch slightly suppressing the rage surging within him. He turned, his gaze sweeping across the scattered corpses of the dead soldiers, his eyes devoid of any wavering.
He walked quickly towards the ruins, towards the figure that drove him crazy, frightened him, and made him protect it at all costs.
At this moment, he temporarily put aside all the pursuit and hatred.
He must return to Li Lianhua immediately.
