Chapter 167 Bloodshed (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader)
The elder turned around in alarm.
The full moon hung high, the bamboo tips drooped, and a tall figure stood on it, holding a long flute, his face shrouded in darkness by the moonlight.
"It really was you!"
The next moment.
Three crimson fireballs, trailing long, narrow flames, spun and hurtled toward him. The moon in the sky seemed even larger, and the sound of flowing water filled the air.
Wang Yu smiled, and on his backlit face, only his eyes shone with a faint light, revealing a bright crescent moon pattern.
"It seems you're still not convinced. Then experience the excruciating pain once more."
In the blink of an eye, the magic passed through Wang Yu's figure and he disappeared.
The Bai family's eldest elder was startled to realize that the surrounding scenery had changed without him noticing.
He was standing on a still pool of water with no end in sight, the moon behind him seemingly within reach.
He murmured anxiously.
"Illusion?...When?"
He subconsciously looked at his reflection in the water, but it wasn't him; instead, it showed the tragic deaths of countless members of the Bai family.
He saw the second and third elders open the treasure vault and kill each other.
He saw two middle-aged people activate the formation and kill the controlled members of their clan.
He saw himself, with crimson eyes and a blood-stained mouth. Behind the demon were countless skeletons that had been completely devoured. This was the future he feared most.
"No!"
"This is impossible, it's all an illusion!"
"...Illusion, damn it!!"
Once he falls under the spell of the Moon's Illusion with the Yin Eye, these terrifying images will replay over and over again until his emotions reach a threshold.
These fearful shadows will then crawl out from their reflections and deliver a painful blow to the target.
Wang Yu secretly lurked there, and painstakingly created this atmosphere in order to trap the Bai family's eldest elder.
The opponent's cultivation level of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment was troublesome for him. He definitely couldn't win in a head-on fight, but he could create some fear and unease.
With his divine sense comparable to the late Foundation Establishment stage, he could still trap it with the "Moon Illusion." As long as he didn't rashly attack and break through this barrier, he could delay it for a very long time.
At this moment.
Wang Yu sensed the activation of the Bai family's formation and couldn't help but reveal a deeper smile. He had learned about it from the information in the City Lord's Mansion before entering.
Although the formation at the Bai family mansion is a second-tier high-grade formation, it is primarily defensive, capable of both resisting external attacks and serving as a temporary trapping formation—this is exactly the effect he wanted.
He finally glanced at the Bai family's eldest elder, who was rambling on in the white ground of the front yard.
Wang Yu casually tossed out several array flags, forming a Blood Mist Concealing Spirit Array that perfectly protected it from external influences, allowing it to escape the illusion.
His figure flickered and disappeared again.
…………
Bai Family Ancestral Hall, Merit Stele.
The Second Elder was pressing one hand on it, activating the hidden core of the [Mountain and Swamp Tortoise Shell Formation]. As he operated it, he spoke to the Third Elder, whose eyes were red-rimmed.
"Bai Zhuzhu, there's no time to be sad for your granddaughter. You should think about the bigger picture."
"The big picture?"
Bai Zhuzhu glared at him resentfully and then offered her hindsight advice.
“I knew it… I knew I should listen to the ancestor.”
"He led the Bai family from third-rate to first-rate, and finally became one of the three Guiling clans. He had more vision and decisiveness than we did."
"I shouldn't have listened to that bastard Bai Yang, otherwise how could my granddaughter have died, especially... at Xuan'er's hands... How can I face my son with such a death!"
The second elder was speechless for a moment, but he quickly spoke up sternly.
"No matter what you say, it's too late. The tragedy has already happened. Do you want the entire Bai family to face the same pain as you in the future? Do you even care about your family anymore?!"
Bai Zhuzhu was stunned, finally snapping out of her grief.
Place your hand on the core of the formation to help activate it!
After a few breaths.
Visible spiritual light formed an earth-yellow tortoise-shell pattern, which rapidly expanded, enveloping the entire Bai family compound.
At this moment, the Second Elder continued to cast spells to activate the mechanism, hiding the merit stele, which served as the core of the formation, underground before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
"Let's go help Decai and Yihe."
"Woo~"
"Waaaaah~"
"Um?"
The flute music, as if the cries of ghosts were right next to them, and the two finally realized with a start: "There's something wrong with the flute music; we need to block our ears!"
But... it's a pity.
The flute music wasn't meant for the two of them, and besides, sealing their ears was completely useless against a dual-path technique like Mind Control Demonic Sound.
In the darkness, the rustling sounds continued to grow louder.
soon.
Hundreds of red-eyed members of the Bai family rushed out of the darkness, using neither spiritual power nor magical artifacts, but simply their physical strength to launch a suicidal attack on the two elders.
Why did this happen?!
The two elders dared not use their full strength for a moment, and could only use their skill to throw the people who rushed at them away one by one. With their spiritual power protecting them, the slight blows were nothing to them.
The Bai family members, controlled by the mind-controlling demonic sound, merely shook their heads before continuing to pounce like zombies, seemingly tireless puppets.
in this way.
One expert at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment and the other at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment were forced to stay in place, unable to move an inch.
Wang Yu, who was observing from the shadows, nodded in satisfaction.
They ran quickly toward the third target, which was the two Foundation Establishment Level 3 cultivators known as Decai and Yihe.
Tonight, let the Bai family feel the pain!
…………
Bai Decai and Bai Yihe swept through the rooms, only to see blood flowing freely and mutilated corpses. Their suppressed anger finally erupted.
"Yihe, this can't go on. Let's use the Bai family's secret technique to directly pinpoint everyone's location."
"Very well, let's use bloodlines to trace them!"
The two stopped on a bridge in a pond, and deliberately cut open their palms to confirm the existence of the Bai family bloodline within a certain range, using bloodline as the source.
After a few breaths, they all opened their eyes.
"They're all in the ancestral hall?!"
"Isn't that the direction the Second Elder and Third Elder went?"
"Go and take a look quickly."
"Thump—"
Suddenly, a different flute melody sounded, and after only hearing the beginning, there was a whooshing sound of wings flapping down from the sky.
"Gagaga~"
"Gagaga~"
One by one, blood-eyed crows the size of human heads descended.
Soul Sound Dual-Path Technique: Ghost Crow Soul-Devouring Sound! Tier 2 Supreme Item!
Although this method is only at a minor level of mastery, it is enough to deal with two Foundation Establishment Level 3 cultivators with ease. The Bai family cultivators seem to have a deep foundation, but that is only in comparison to independent cultivators.
Compared to him, who came from the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, they were nothing. The two of them were only slightly stronger than the Azure Dragon Gang Leader.
Countless ghost crows swept in, converging into two tornadoes. The two used their respective methods, summoning magical artifacts to enhance their abilities, attempting to kill these ghost crows with magic.
pity.
The ghost crows were like phantoms, completely unaffected by their attacks. Instead, each time they passed through their bodies, they would take away a portion of their divine consciousness.
Repeatedly doing this will weaken the soul and spirit, cause fatigue due to insufficient vital energy, and even make the limbs weak as if paralyzed, making it difficult to control the body accurately.
This is the mystery of the Ghost Crow's Soul-Devouring Sound.
Sound represents illusion, and soul represents devouring. The two are distinct yet perfectly integrated. Those ghostly crows are just illusions; the real attack comes from the inaudible soul-devouring sound waves.
Like a frog being slowly boiled in water, once they realize something is wrong, the Soul-Eating Crow will transform into a real entity and deliver a fatal blow!
"Something's not right. We can't kill these crows no matter what. Could it be an illusion?"
De Cai was panting heavily, feeling extremely dizzy, with a sharp pain between his eyebrows and a feeling of nausea. He knew it.
This is a sign that the power of divine consciousness is exhausted.
"Yihe, Yihe, call out your loud dog and wake it up."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yihe quickly patted the spirit beast pouch.
Immediately, a strange, fat dog appeared, its head almost half the size of its body, with many yellow holes in its purple fur.
This is the "Exploding Dog"!
A fellow who has been complained about and disliked by many in the Bai family, he seems to be very timid. Despite having the strength of the early stage of the second tier, he encountered a situation with a sky full of ghost crows after he came out.
Startled, it shrank behind its master. Yihe quickly kicked it and scolded it:
"Go ahead and yell! Aren't you usually so loud?!"
Feeling wronged, the fat purple dog barked loudly at the ghost crow.
"Woof!"
"Woof woof woof!"
Believe it or not, it really had a miraculous effect. Disturbed by the chaotic sound waves, the Ghost Crow Soul Devouring Sound, which was only at the minor completion stage, began to fluctuate.
In particular, many of the ghost crows formed from illusory sounds were directly destroyed.
Seeing this, Wang Yu shook his head. The spells at the minor completion level were still lacking. Not only did they take a long time to cast, but their structure was also not stable enough.
But this loud-sounding dog is truly a strange beast.
He had never seen a demon beast that had made achievements in the art of sound waves, and its ancestors were even harder to trace. Since he couldn't kill it in one move, he had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.
"Soul-Shattering Finger!"
This divine sense technique is relatively weak, only at the second-tier low-grade level, but for De Cai and Yi He now, it is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
A spiritual attack is both stealthy and swift, rendering conventional defenses ineffective. There is no suitable countermeasure; the best approach is to evade it.
However, Wang Yu launched a sneak attack from the shadows, and no matter how vigilant they were, they were bound to have some oversights.
"ah!"
As the owner of the Exploding Dog, Yihe was Wang Yu's first target. The Soul-Shattering Finger almost knocked him unconscious, leaving him no time to react.
Wang Yu held the Ghostly Cry Flute in his hand, and the Frosty Moon Wings on his back shimmered.
His figure instantly appeared between the two, and with a flying kick that rang out like a dragon's cry, he sent De Cai flying. The Ghost Cry Flute then unleashed a deadly sonic attack from above.
——Weeping Heart Blade!
"Pfft."
With almost no chance to resist, Yihe stood there dumbfounded, a line of blood appeared in the center of his body, and the next second he was completely split in two, with blood and internal organs flowing all over the ground.
The spirit beast, acting as a servant, howled and rolled on the ground. With its master dead, this tamed spirit dog was also doomed.
He was on the verge of death within moments.
On the other end.
Amidst the shattered building, De Cai, coughing up blood, struggled to his feet and immediately discovered the dead bodies of his clansmen. Terrified, he leaped into the air, only to be slammed down by a giant, gray-black hand.
It turned into a lump of meat paste.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned two storage bags, then put the dying Explosive Dog into the spirit beast bag, and Wang Yu's figure disappeared again.
