When Li Si arrived at the Zhenwu Hall, the scene was already in chaos. The Zhenwu Hall's protective formation had long since disappeared, and disciples were running around in panic. Various magical artifacts were appearing one after another, but some were killed by a black shadow before they could even use their artifacts!
The dark figure was shrouded in thick blood mist, with only a pair of scarlet eyes showing. It occasionally let out a roar like a wild beast. Even the disciples of the True Martial Hall had to scatter and flee in their own territory, wondering where the dark figure had come from.
"The Palace Master has gone mad!"
Amid the chaos, some disciples were desperately trying to escape, while others, with no hope of escape, roared in terror, their eyes wide with fear and despair eroding everyone's nerves!
"Palace Master? Isn't Ling Quan dead?"
Leng Rushuang's face was solemn as she coldly surveyed the chaotic scene before her. Li Sisui, with his sharp eyes, scanned the area with his divine sense, his expression changing slightly, and asked with a hint of doubt:
"Ling Quan, he's still alive! That's the person, but I don't know how he did it..."
The two hadn't walked far when they saw a pile of corpses lying haphazardly beside Ling Quan's feet. The bottommost one was a cultivator they had seen before. This person's death was extremely gruesome; there was a black hole as thick as an adult's thigh in his chest, his heart had been pierced through, and his face remained incredulous until the very end. This person was none other than Guang Bai, the head of the Tai Chu Academy...
With Guang Bai dead and the Tai Chu Academy disciples scattering and fleeing around him, the basic situation was clear. Although it was unknown what had happened to Ling Quan, judging from his current state, it was highly questionable whether he was the real Ling Quan.
"Once you're hit in the head by my shot, you're dead instantly. There's absolutely no way you can come back to life!"
Leng Rushuang stared at the dark figure, whose crimson eyes also scrutinized the two of them. Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, the dark figure that was just standing there was now in front of them, moving at an incredible speed!
"careful!"
Li Sisui only had time to utter those two words before he had to unleash the Slow Sword Domain. Leng Rushuang was quite self-aware, or perhaps to conserve her demonic energy, she subconsciously hid behind Li Sisui!
"Hehehe! I've been waiting for you for ages!"
The blood mist thinned, revealing Ling Quan's pale face, which was laced with a crazed sneer and a fleeting struggle. His state was extremely bizarre, which could be summed up in six words: neither human nor ghost!
"Are you Ling Quan or who else?"
"Who am I? Huh? Who am I?"
Ling Quan's crazed eyes suddenly became dazed. He looked around and then roared into the void:
"I will kill you all, leave no one alive, everyone must die!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around, but then his demeanor suddenly changed as he pleaded with Li Sisui:
"Help me! I really don't... Ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, a scream rang out, and the blood mist surrounding Ling Quan grew even thicker. Another eerie cacophony echoed, enveloped in the thick blood mist, sending chills down one's spine!
Boom boom boom!
Ling Quan transformed into a black shadow once more, his speed astonishing. Wherever the shadow passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, countless disciples met their demise, and the air was filled with the stench of blood…
As the two approached Guangbai's body, they remained wary of Ling Quan's indiscriminate slaughter, completely unaware of what had transpired before, or whether Guangbai could still be saved and perhaps reveal some unknown information...
Puff puff puff!
Three more disciples had their hearts ripped out by Ling Quan with his bare hands. Amidst a spray of blood mist, they collapsed to the ground in despair. Ling Quan held the burning hot hearts in his hand, and with a slight exertion, the hearts burst open like watermelons, turning into a pool of red blood...
No matter how much Ling Quan shouted, he refused to attack them. The two exchanged a glance and finally realized something was wrong. Leng Rushuang reached out and stopped Li Sisui, quietly watching Ling Quan slaughter them!
Looking around, the blood aura around him grew thicker and thicker. As a large number of disciples were killed, the blood mist around Ling Quan became almost tangible. He was like a red whirlwind, and wherever he passed, there were endless wails!
The former master of the True Martial Hall and the number one sect of Saint Hill has now become a hell on earth, a slaughterhouse for cultivators. All the disciples scattered and fled, not daring to linger for even a second longer. The originally abundant spiritual energy in the air has become viscous at some point!
"This...this person is pretending to be crazy, but he's actually plotting something big. Let's retreat!"
Leng Rushuang's expression hardened, and she grabbed Li Sisui and retreated rapidly, but it was too late. Blood light surged all around, and a blood prison formed by the blood of countless cultivators had already trapped the two of them firmly inside. Together with them was Ling Quan, who was pretending to be crazy and slaughtering indiscriminately!
Before the three could make any move, the ground beneath the blood prison suddenly shattered, and spiritual energy, seemingly tangible, surged into the blood prison from all directions, like a whale sucking water. But strangely, Li Sisui, who was inside the blood prison, could not sense a single trace of spiritual energy!
The blood mist surrounding Ling Quan was completely absorbed by the blood prison, and he finally returned to normal. His face showed shock as he stared at the thick, blood-red prison walls, his expression filled with disbelief.
"So this is the Spirit Extinction Array? As expected, there isn't a trace of spiritual energy. I've succeeded, and it's time for you to deliver on your promise!"
As he spoke, Ling Quan raised his head and roared into the sky. At his shout, the sky above suddenly changed; dark clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled. Then, a cold and majestic voice slowly descended from above:
"Am I a man of my word? You're just a brute from the mountains, daring to bargain with me. Just wait and see!"
"The Unlawful Taoist!"
