Chapter 256 The Four Blood Demon Kings, External Situation
"The key point of the medicine garden formation is just ahead. Be on high alert."
"--Um."
The gains did not diminish their vigilance; in fact, the more Wang Yu acquired, the more cautious he became, paying attention to every little thing that might happen.
finally.
One of the key points of the Heavenly Soul Medicine Garden's formation is in sight.
Due to the excessive density of the blood mist, even with the blessing of the Yin Nether Eyes, he could only see a range of six or seven meters. Taki was even worse off, only able to see two meters.
The Golden Eyes of Qi seemed powerless against the blood mist, or perhaps its effects were not in this area.
The two groped their way forward.
Sudden--
Taki bumped headfirst into Wang Yu's back, and she noticed that his body had stiffened.
"What's wrong, Brother Wang..."
The sound grew fainter and fainter, because in the blood mist ahead, two bright red eyes, like lanterns, were watching them. They were not as tall as the blood corpse giant, but were still more than ten meters tall.
Two streams of murky red air shot out from below those eyes.
Like exhaled breath.
A mist of blood swirled around the giant shadow, dispersing as it moved, revealing an old ginseng root with a grayish-brown body and numerous wrinkles, its chin covered with ginseng roots.
It has a twelve-petaled green leaf on its head, and its head, body, and even its hands and feet are all chubby and round. If it weren't for its wrinkled face that looks too much like an old man, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a giant baby.
"Plop—"
Taki swallowed hard and said with difficulty.
"This...this is...the Medicine King?!"
"run!"
The opponent was far more powerful than the Blood Corpse Giant. Its aura had definitely reached the fourth level. Apart from its roots, its body was covered with blood-red patterns, clearly indicating that it had also been corrupted by the power of the Blood Demon.
As the two retreated, the Blood Demon Ginseng seemed to trigger some kind of mechanism, its chubby short arms instantly traversing the distance of space and slapping towards them.
call out--
Wang Yu flew backwards like an arrow released from a bow. In mid-air, he felt that many bones were broken, his internal energy was disordered, and his internal organs were severely damaged.
A large amount of blood gushed from his mouth.
That single slap was enough to severely injure him and leave a lasting trauma.
If the other party hadn't acted irrationally, they would have taken the photo instead of catching them.
It has definitely been sent.
"Boom—"
Wang Yu crashed through the white wall at the edge of the herb garden, collapsing more buildings along the way before finally managing to stop.
Taki was still missing. Wang Yu looked at the escape talisman he was holding in his left hand and smiled bitterly. He didn't have time to activate it, let alone care about the other's life or death.
Given the opponent's physical strength, the situation is not optimistic.
This is... the third time that taking risks for wealth has gone wrong.
He was almost paralyzed by those words. What kind of rare treasure or ancient medicine king was this? This was a deadly thing!
Having just regained his footing, Wang Yu unfolded his Frost Moon Wings and flew towards the exit of the secret realm, covering his head. He also took out a handful of top-grade spiritual pills and swallowed them all.
From being knocked away to escaping, the entire sequence of actions took no more than three breaths.
Immediately afterwards.
He then felt a large shadow appear behind him. The Blood Demon Ginseng... was chasing him, and it was chasing him!
"Grass!!"
When the fist of the heavens struck, Wang Yu quickly turned over.
With his hands clasped together, he unleashed the full power of the Yellow Springs Great Handprint, twisting his waist and using all his strength to unleash a hundred-meter-long Netherworld Demon Dragon, its body covered in Ice Dragon Flame.
In a very short moment, almost every available means were used, and then came a scene of utter despair.
The Yellow Springs Great Handprint shattered directly in the Blood Demon Ginseng's fist. Wang Yu knew something was wrong and immediately activated the Escape Talisman.
Then.
The Netherworld Dragon, burning with blue flames, was annihilated inch by inch by the fist, like a moth drawn to a flame, leaving only a black mark on its body.
when--
At the critical moment, Wang Yu's Starfall Cold Furnace saved his life. After all, it was a mid-grade third-tier magic weapon, even though the Blood Demon Ginseng had fourth-tier strength.
A casual punch wouldn't be enough to completely destroy it.
therefore.
Wang Yu was hit by the ginseng again, flying backward like a sandbag. The Starfall Cold Furnace was dented, and Wang Yu, who was hiding inside, was injured again by the shock.
It feels like the bones in my chest are almost completely shattered.
Fortunately.
The Space Escape Talisman activated, but the Blood Demon Ginseng, lacking intelligence, was powerless to stop the spatial escape technique, and could only watch helplessly as Wang Yu transformed into a streak of silver light and vanished.
It roared to the sky, its enormous head sweeping in all directions. When it looked down at the ground, its wrinkled mouth twisted into an even more ferocious grin.
With his short, chubby legs, he stomped his foot hard on the ground.
Rumble~
This caused the entire secret realm to tremble, with wide cracks appearing in the earth, from which blood-corpse giants hundreds of meters tall crawled out.
In the distant Heavenly Soul Herb Garden, a thick blood mist began to spread.
Three more Blood Demon Medicine Kings emerged from them.
Some resembled lingzhi mushrooms, others resembled he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum), and they flew out one after another to stand alongside the Blood Demon Ginseng. Their auras were all at the fourth level, while the last one was an existence.
It resembled a dark sunflower, with only a blood-red human face imprinted on its flower head. Its aura was the most terrifying, reaching the late stage of the fourth rank.
It's comparable to the level of a Nascent Soul Grandmaster!
There were over a thousand blood-corpse giants that had risen up, all of them at the third tier, ranging from the early stage to the peak.
The remnants of the Blood Demon within the Heavenly Soul Sect's secret realm were in complete turmoil, accompanied by countless ordinary blood corpses, all heading towards the entrance of the secret realm.
Within the earth's veins.
Long Yiran, who forcibly connected herself to the earth's veins using a secret technique, barely managed to save her life, but half of her body was almost rotten into mud. She did not have the physical strength of Wang Yu.
Even a second's delay would mean certain death.
At the same time, the backlash from the connection with the earth's veins was also occurring, and her body began to petrify in unison, only stopping after it had eroded her entire leg.
She dared not delay, and gritted her teeth as she used the Earth Mother's Breath Banner to escape into the earth's veins. The Heavenly Soul Sect ruins... are fraught with great danger!
Although worried about Wang Yu's situation, he dared not linger and fled towards the gate of the secret realm. Let whoever wants to come to this godforsaken place come.
…………
…………
Meanwhile, outside...
—Yin Gui Mountain.
"What's wrong with this godforsaken place?"
Several Foundation Establishment cultivators stood in mid-air, arms crossed, surveying the Yin Ghost Mountain while also keeping a watchful eye on the densely packed figures in the sky.
Several years ago.
The Red and White Duo have disappeared. According to eyewitnesses, they were chasing the Wan brothers from Poison Scorpion City towards Yin Ghost Mountain when they finally disappeared.
It was around that time that the dark clouds over the Yin Ghost Mountain area, which was always covered by black clouds, began to dissipate considerably, while the eerie winds that emanated from the soul were strengthened.
Wisps of blood mist rose from the ground, gradually enveloping the entire Yin Ghost Mountain.
This place is a great spot for catching ghosts. Cities near the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest, as well as some independent cultivator territories and sects similar to "Ten Thousand Poison Town," all come here to search.
It can be considered a popular "tourist attraction" to some extent, and the blood mist mutation was discovered early on.
As a result, more and more people were attracted.
Cultivators from Yunling Prefecture, Yeqiong Prefecture, and You Prefecture came to investigate, and many believed it to be a sign of the birth of a rare treasure. Such extraordinary encounters were quite common in Chiyuan.
Often triggered by lucky rogue cultivators, it eventually causes strange phenomena that attract various forces.
The Ancient Ruins of Dongji (Eastern Capital) has a lot to say on this point.
In the midst of the struggle for Zhu Yue Prefecture, the people of Huang Quan Temple, having traveled through the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest of You Prefecture, naturally encountered the people of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
These are currently the two most powerful parties.
The people from the Gu Poison Peak of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect came the most, including the Evil Centipede Daoist who was already active in Wan Du Town, and six Gu cultivators who had reached the Core Formation stage from the mountain gate.
And the city lords of Poison Scorpion City, Barrier Flow City, Fragrant City, etc., who belong to the Holy Sect, have varying levels of cultivation, ranging from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation. What they have in common is that they all brought a large number of armored cultivators.
If Wang Yu were here, he would find a familiar father and daughter.
The Jade Serpent Immortal and his only daughter, Liu Jinxian!
The latter had been mingling in Wan Du Town for some time and was nicknamed the Insect Girl. Her cultivation had reached the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. She was the second survivor of Xuan Gu Mountain back then, second only to Wang Yu.
On the other side of Huangquan Temple, there were five Core Formation cultivators and more than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators, standing at opposite ends of the sky with the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, gazing at each other from afar.
In addition, there are tens of thousands of rogue cultivators hiding in the dense forests near Yin Gui Mountain, mainly Qi Refining cultivators, among whom there may be many Core Formation cultivators.
Other members of the Core Formation families, third-rate sects, and first-rate sects were also present.
Fire Demon Sect, Guiyin Palace, Earth Demon Valley, Poison Scorpion Wan Family, Ruan Family... Lingdian Zhou Family, Yuan Family, etc.
There are more forces living on the territory of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, and they naturally lean towards the Holy Sect's position, which puts a lot of pressure on the cultivators of the Yellow Spring Temple.
The standoff has lasted for some time now.
Besides sending scouts inside to look for the anomaly, everyone is waiting for the strange phenomenon to erupt. Many array masters have made the judgment that this place will definitely reveal its true form within three years.
"Father, don't you think this blood mist looks familiar?"
Liu Jinxian pulled Bi She Zhenren aside. The distance was extremely short, and they communicated through divine sense, so there was no need to worry about being overheard.
Hearing his daughter's question, Master Bishe frowned.
"Yes, there is some similarity. This aura is somewhat similar to that of the people from Blood Nether Peak. Could it be that they are plotting something here?"
Upon hearing the words "Blood Nether Peak," a sudden inspiration struck Liu Jinxian, and she exclaimed in surprise.
“I remember now, Father. When I was young, I went to the Blood Demon Palace to test whether I had the talent to cultivate the Blood Scripture. I remember that when Lu Chenzhou came into contact with the Blood Scripture, he was emitting this kind of aura.”
"Lu Chenzhou... really?"
This person is one of the disciples of the Blood Demon Palace Master. Due to his cultivation of the Blood Path Demon Art, he has made extremely rapid progress and is able to absorb cultivation power by devouring human blood.
He was about the same age as Liu Jinxian, but he was already a late-stage Core Formation cultivator with the potential to condense his Nascent Soul.
“My daughter can’t be mistaken; her aura was almost exactly the same as Lu Chenzhou’s back then.”
The Jade Serpent Immortal's face immediately darkened, and he took out a third-tier Void Escape Talisman and handed it to Liu Jinxian.
"Leave immediately if anything goes wrong."
“My daughter understands.”
“I will contact your Uncle Wu. He is knowledgeable and well-versed in ancient history. He may know the ancient secrets of the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest.”
"good."
After saying that, Bi She took out a communication jade talisman, and with a hint of reluctance, took out five high-grade spirit stones to amplify the range of communication that the jade talisman could make using a secret technique.
Even so, it is still impossible to directly access the Holy Sect's mountain gate.
The message still needs to go through several transfers before it can reach the mountain gate.
Just then, in mid-air above Yin Gui Mountain.
Before everyone's eyes, a flash of silver light appeared, and the masked, disheveled figure stood frozen, his breathing disordered, looking severely injured.
Wang Yu: "..."
