The girl was astonished by the simultaneous increase in strength and overall well-being. She wasn't sure what had happened to her body, but she knew now wasn't the time to investigate; this change could only be beneficial to the current situation.
Their battlefield was concentrated in the city center; if a spell cast with true energy missed its mark, half a street would be blasted to pieces!
Both sides are trying their best to avoid harming civilians; one side doesn't want to hurt innocent people, while the other side wants to focus their resources on the formation and avoid killing them prematurely.
After a long battle, the Blood Demon Ancestor was clearly at a disadvantage and had sustained serious injuries, but his smile grew wider and wider.
[Because the formation is finally about to reach its final stage!]
[In another hundred breaths, the gathered residents will be sacrificed, transformed into a vast expanse of mortal dust, to help him advance to the third level of Qi Refining!]
[Upon breaking through to the third level of Qi Refining, he will become a powerful figure in the demonic path. Demonic cultivators from tens of millions of miles around will flock to him. He will be a force to be reckoned with throughout the four seas and eight wastelands, no longer needing to evade the pursuit of righteous sects as he does now. He can now openly and legitimately appear on this land!]
"You have no chance left!" he laughed wildly.
[If the massacre of civilians outside his position at the array's core had occurred immediately upon Jiang Rou and her companion's arrival, and the number had been reduced to below 9 million, his plan would have inevitably failed, and he himself would have suffered a backlash, facing certain death.]
[But it's too late now. Even if they start slaughtering civilians now, their blood won't dissipate within a hundred breaths, and they can still be captured by the vast red dust miasma!]
[Even if these two righteous juniors start fleeing out of the city now, it's useless. They won't be able to encounter the Guichen Sect elders who are coming to their aid before he catches up with them and kills them!]
The Blood Demon Ancestor licked his lips. He was particularly interested in the woman. She was only at the first level of Qi Refining, yet she had crossed an entire major realm, making her barely comparable to him.
Her blood... must be incredibly delicious!
The sudden change in the formation indicates that it has entered the final stage.
The vital energy surged like crimson waves, causing the crowd below to sway and be drained of their life force, turning them into withered corpses.
"Even with the cheat code activated, it's still not enough. Even with more than double her essence power, she still can't beat this old thing."
You gently shook your head.
"I'm so sorry," Jiang Rou said, lowering her head and giving you a pitiful smile. "If I hadn't brought you here, you might have been taken in by some family... I should have left you in the city we passed through earlier."
She's definitely single-minded, and while she seems bright and adorable, she's quite tragic in some ways.
[Having said that, she withdrew her protective inner energy, supporting you with one hand while wielding her sword with the other, unleashing her full power to slash at the Blood Demon Ancestor.]
This attack drained the last remaining portion of her true energy. It surged from her dantian to her right arm, completely destroying the meridians responsible for transmitting true energy due to the excessive output. Her slender arm's skin exploded, releasing a spray of blood.
This all-out attack naturally far surpassed the previous sword techniques, expending dozens of times more true energy in one strike, and its power was equivalent to three times that of the strongest previous attack!
"It's actually quite reasonable."
Yun Shou didn't know why, but he really wanted to explain the simulation content in his mind.
"Eating dozens of times more only yields three times the power, which seems like a huge loss, but it's not actually the case."
"If a person with a normal punch power of only 100 kilograms uses the energy expended in 50 punches to deliver a punch of 300 kilograms, the damage caused upon hitting the target will be much higher than that of 50 normal punches, because it includes the element of breaking through the guard!"
"But if other obstacles are encountered before hitting the target, the enemy only needs to expend the energy of three basic attacks to completely negate them!"
This sword strike was incredibly powerful, but it also meant that after it was unleashed, she would be completely wiped out, plummeting straight down from the sky, her body curling up to shield you in her arms.
Senior Brother Chu sighed helplessly, knowing that such an attack, after being worn down by the opponent's true energy, could only slightly worsen the Blood Demon Ancestor's injuries, at the cost of losing one of their own combatants.
[It won't lead to a decisive victory; like a tokusatsu show unleashing a powerful attack at the start, it's a losing proposition in the long run.]
"But there's no time left, this is the only option." Senior Brother Chu used his true energy to lift Jiang Rou and you from a distance, placing you on the roof of a residential house. Then, he too began to gather his true energy.
As he gathered his true energy, Jiang Rou's sword struck the immobile Blood Demon Ancestor.
The sword light was gradually dissolved by the Blood Sea True Qi. The Blood Demon Ancestor let out a sinister smile; this sword would be weakened by more than half by the protective true qi before it could hit him!
In the end, it will only add another minor injury to him!
However… amidst the mostly dissolved azure sword light, from a perspective unseen by the two from the Guichen Sect, a white force shot out, unstoppable.
The Blood Demon Ancestor's inner energy, which even can't be shattered by cannonballs, was torn apart like paper. In that instant, his pupils contracted sharply, and his spiritual senses detected a crisis known as certain death!
【"not good!"】
[Pfft!]
A pale white force swept across his neck, and as blood gushed out, an old head fell to the ground.
[Senior Brother Chu's meridians were already stretched to their limit by the gathered true energy, but he couldn't help but freeze, subconsciously looking at his junior sister on the rooftop beside him.]
