Chapter 378 Illusion Technique Instantly Kills a High-Level Meteorite! Is There a Hunter Lurking in the Shadows?!
Above the Blood Fiend Pavilion.
Blood Nether Lotus stood on the back of the Blood Fiend Demon Spider Emperor, looking down at Jiang Yun.
Her eyes were filled with contempt.
"Kid, now, do you still think you're qualified to challenge this old woman?"
Jiang Yun raised his head.
He looked at that massive Blood Fiend Demon Spider Emperor.
He looked at those eight blood-red eyes, that hideous mouthpart, and those wings that were as thin as a cicada's but emitted a terrifying aura.
His expression remained calm.
He spoke slowly.
"This is your beast?"
His voice carried a hint of faint disdain.
"It doesn't look like much."
"Star Meteor Rank Seven... is it very strong?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The entire place fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone was stunned.
They widened their eyes and gaped, looking at Jiang Yun in disbelief.
He... what did he just say?
Star Meteor Rank Seven... not much?!
Has he gone mad?!
That is a Peak of Star Meteor Rank Seven beast!
It's a terrifying existence with the Ancient Blood Spider Emperor Bloodline!
An existence that could wipe out everyone present in a single move!
He... how does he dare to speak like that?!
Iron Mountain Liu's legs went soft, and he almost collapsed again.
He looked at Jiang Yun, his eyes filled with horror.
"Is... is Master Jiang crazy?!"
Li Fengxing's face was also ashen.
"It's over... it's over... it's completely over now..."
The Diamond Rank powerhouses behind them were trembling with fear.
Some knelt directly on the ground, muttering to themselves.
"Don't kill me... don't kill me..."
And those Amethyst Rank survivors had long since been lying prostrate on the ground, not even daring to lift their heads.
He Yuanming stood to the side, a complex light flashing in his eyes.
He looked at Jiang Yun, then at the massive Blood Fiend Demon Spider Emperor in the sky.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
This Master Jiang... what exactly is he planning?
Although his beast is strong, it's only at the Diamond Ninth Tier Peak.
Even if his combat power is Heaven-Defying and he can challenge those of higher ranks, it's impossible for him to face a Peak of Star Meteor Rank Seven head-on, right?
Is he... looking for death?
Or does he have some other Heaven-Defying means?
In the sky.
Blood Nether Lotus's face instantly darkened.
She stared at Jiang Yun, her eyes boiling with killing intent.
"What a sharp-tongued brat!"
Her voice was cold as frost.
"Since you want to die so badly, this old woman will grant your wish!"
Blood Lady also sneered from the side.
"Revered Master, this kid doesn't know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth. Kill him quickly!"
Her voice was still charming, but it carried a hint of ruthlessness.
"Let him know the consequences of offending my Blood Fiend Pavilion!"
Blood Nether Lotus stopped wasting words.
She raised her hand.
Her hands formed seals.
Streaks of blood-red light surged from her body and merged into the Blood Fiend Demon Spider Emperor beneath her feet.
The Blood Fiend Demon Spider Emperor's eight eyes instantly turned blood-red!
An extremely terrifying aura erupted from its body!
That aura was several times stronger than before!
"Kid, it's your honor to die under my beast's strongest strike!"
Blood Nether Lotus's voice echoed in the sky.
Seeing Jiang Yun's calm appearance.
Blood Nether Lotus was also afraid that this kid Jiang Yun would cause more complications.
So she simply wanted to kill him with a full-power strike.
"Blood Fiend Demon Spider Emperor! Unleash!"
"Blood Prison Heavenly Net!"
As her voice fell.
The Blood Fiend Demon Spider Emperor opened its massive mouthparts.
A blood-red light surged out from its mouth!
That light was like a blood-colored torrent, sweeping toward Jiang Yun and Fox Immortal!
Wherever it passed, space itself was shattering!
The world turned blood-red!
Countless blood-red threads split off from the light!
Those threads were dense and covered the sky!
Like a massive cage, they enveloped the entire Blood Fiend Pavilion!
Inside the cage, everything was dissolving!
The ground was melting!
Buildings were collapsing!
The air was letting out ear-piercing shrieks!
Those Diamond Rank powerhouses who hadn't died yet were instantly turned into blood mist just by being swept by the aftershocks of that blood-red light!
They didn't even have time to scream!
Iron Mountain Liu's face was pale as he pushed his Beast Taming Power to the limit to protect himself and the few people around him.
Li Fengxing also resisted desperately, but cracks had already begun to appear on his body!
He Yuanming gritted his teeth, his eyes full of fear.
His Blood Feather Demon Eagle trembled behind him, letting out a despairing wail!
And the Little Skylark beneath Jiang Yun's feet was shaking all over, its feathers standing on end, almost falling from the sky!
That power was too strong!
So strong that everyone present felt the approach of death!
Is this the beast strength of a Meteorite High-Level powerhouse?
It's simply not on the same level as them...
Jiang Yun also felt it.
That power was enough to crush him countless times!
He frowned deeply.
He was secretly anxious.
Fox Immortal, why hasn't she made a move yet?
He gritted his teeth.
He flipped his right hand.
A palm-sized tortoise shell appeared in his hand.
mystic tortoise spirit armor.
A defensive treasure obtained from Vice Dean Yan Song.
It could withstand several attacks from a Falling Star Rank powerhouse.
After using it to block one of Fox Immortal's strikes last time, faint cracks had already appeared on it.
But it should... still be usable a few more times.
Jiang Yun didn't hesitate at all.
Beast Taming Power surged frantically into the mystic tortoise spirit armor!
The next moment.
A golden light erupted from the mystic tortoise spirit armor!
That light condensed into a golden barrier in front of Jiang Yun and Fox Immortal!
On the barrier, a faint phantom of a massive mystic tortoise could be seen, roaring at the sky!
In the sky.
Seeing that golden barrier, Blood Nether Lotus's eyes flashed with disdain.
"This is your method?"
She sneered.
"A mere defensive treasure, and you want to block this old woman's Blood Prison Heavenly Net?"
"A mantis trying to stop a carriage, overestimating your own strength!"
She raised her hand.
And gave a light wave.
That blood-red light surged toward Jiang Yun even more violently!
Boom!!!
The Blood Prison Heavenly Net slammed hard against the golden barrier!
The golden barrier trembled violently!
The mystic tortoise phantom let out a shrill wail!
Crack!!!
Crack!!!
Cracks began to spread across the golden barrier!
Jiang Yun's expression changed.
This Blood Nether Lotus's beast's combat power was definitely not as simple as it looked on the surface.
He knew that the mystic tortoise spirit armor wouldn't last much longer!
It could at most withstand three or four more attacks.
If the barrier shattered, he would surely die!
He looked around.
Where was Fox Immortal?!
Why hadn't she made a move yet?!
Just at this critical moment.
A change occurred!
A Five-Colored Divine Light appeared out of thin air!
That light was dazzling and brilliant!
Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth!
The five colors were intertwined!
Like the first ray of light at the dawn of creation!
That light quietly bloomed from behind Blood Nether Lotus!
It was silent.
Yet it contained power enough to destroy the world!
Five Elements Origin Law!
Boom!!!
The Five-Colored Divine Light slammed hard into the Blood Fiend Demon Spider Emperor!
The Blood Fiend Demon Spider Emperor's massive body was like it was hit by a great mountain!
It let out a shrill shriek!
Its eight spider legs struggled frantically!
But it was useless.
That Five-Colored Divine Light was like a heavenly punishment!
It directly pierced through its carapace!
Pierced through its flesh!
Pierced through its internal organs!
And burst out from its abdomen!
Pfft!!!
Dark red blood gushed out like a fountain!
Splattering across the sky!
The Blood Fiend Demon Spider Emperor's eight eyes instantly lost their light!
Its body began to fall!
From a height of several hundred meters, it slammed hard toward the ground!
Boom!!!
A world-shaking explosion!
The Blood Fiend Demon Spider Emperor's massive body crashed into the Blood Fiend Pavilion's plaza!
It smashed out a huge pit dozens of meters deep!
Dust soared into the sky!
Debris flew everywhere!
The entire Blood Fiend Pavilion was shaking violently!
And those blood-red lights also vanished instantly at this moment!
The Blood Prison Heavenly Net was broken.
The entire place was in a deathly silence.
Everyone stared blankly at this scene.
Looking at that huge pit.
Looking at the dying Blood Fiend Demon Spider Emperor in the pit.
Looking at the massive bloody hole on its body, from which dark red blood was gurgling out.
Their eyes were full of shock.
Full of fear.
Full of... disbelief.
A Peak of Star Meteor Rank Seven beast.
A terrifying existence with the Ancient Blood Spider Emperor Bloodline.
One move.
With just one move.
It was beaten like this?!
Who was it?!
Who did it?!
Everyone looked up at the sky.
Then.
They saw it.
Not far behind Blood Nether Lotus.
A slender figure was hovering in the air.
Nine snow-white fox tails swayed gently in the wind.
Pale golden eyes looked down coldly.
On her body, traces of the Five-Colored Divine Light remained.
The power of the Five Elements Origin Law circulated around her.
It was indeed Fox Immortal.
Another Fox Immortal?
Everyone was stunned.
They looked beside Jiang Yun.
Beside Jiang Yun, another Fox Immortal was also standing.
That Fox Immortal also had nine fox tails, also had pale golden eyes, and was also cold and proud.
Two Fox Immortals?!
This... what is going on?!
Could it be... Master Jiang possesses two such beasts?!
Two beasts with the royal bloodline, capable of taking human form, and with Heaven-Defying combat power?!
How is this possible?!
Iron Mountain Liu gaped, his eyes nearly popping out.
Li Fengxing trembled all over and knelt directly on the ground.
Those Diamond Rank powerhouses were even more scared, collapsing to the ground with their minds going blank.
And in the sky.
[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]
Blood Nether Lotus tumbled from the back of the Blood Fiend Demon Spider Emperor, landing on the ground in a sorry state.
Her hair was disheveled, her clothes tattered, and her entire body was covered in dust and blood.
Blood continued to trickle from the corners of her mouth.
Her eyes were filled with shock.
She looked at the Fox Immortal that had suddenly appeared in the sky, then back at the Fox Immortal beside Jiang Yun.
Her mind was in chaos.
"How is this possible?! How can there be two?!"
She had clearly sensed it just moments ago; there was only one Beast beside Jiang Yun!
The aura of that Beast was undoubtedly at the Diamond Ninth Tier Peak!
But this one that ambushed her... was also at the Diamond Ninth Tier Peak! It was the exact same aura!
"This... what on earth is going on?!"
She struggled to climb to her feet, wanting to summon the Blood Fiend Demon Spider Emperor.
But the Blood Fiend Demon Spider Emperor was already on its last breath, lying in a deep pit, struggling to even move.
Its aura was fading rapidly.
Blood Nether Lotus's face was as pale as paper.
Her Beast... was crippled. Completely crippled.
Just then, the Fox Immortal beside Jiang Yun suddenly smiled.
The smile was wicked and eerie.
Then, her figure began to fade. Fading more and more. And more.
Finally, it turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air.
The entire venue fell silent once again. Everyone stared blankly at this scene.
"An... an illusion?! The Fox Immortal from before was actually an illusion?!"
They finally realized.
No wonder Jiang Yun was so arrogant just now. No wonder he dared to stand at the front to draw fire.
So, the real Fox Immortal had been hiding in the shadows from the very beginning!
And the one standing beside him was just an illusion! An illusion used to deceive the enemy!
The way they looked at Jiang Yun changed completely. Shock. Awe. And, deep fear.
This young man was too terrifying. His schemes, his calculations, his layout... it was simply chilling.
From the start, he never intended to fight head-on.
He let He Yuanming and the other two take the lead while he hid in the shadows to observe.
He had the illusion stand beside him to attract Blood Nether Lotus's attention.
The real killing blow had already been quietly positioned. It was just waiting for the moment Blood Nether Lotus attacked with all her might and was unable to guard her back. A fatal blow.
Iron Mountain Liu muttered, "Master Jiang... is too terrifying..."
Li Fengxing also muttered, "Is... is this even human..."
The Diamond Rank experts nodded repeatedly. They looked at Jiang Yun as if looking at a Prodigy.
Blood Lady was also stunned. She looked at Jiang Yun, her eyes filled with fear. And, disbelief.
She recalled what she had just said. "Seeking death... hurry up and kill this ignorant brat..."
Thinking back now, it was simply laughable. Who was the one really seeking death?
Blood Nether Lotus also understood. She looked at Jiang Yun, her eyes filled with unwillingness.
"You... you were plotting against me from the very beginning..." Her voice was hoarse and trembling.
"You let those three take the lead to test the trump cards of the Blood Fiend Pavilion..."
"You had the illusion stand beside you to attract my attention..."
"And the real killing blow was already hidden in the shadows..."
"Just waiting for the moment I attacked with all my might and couldn't guard my back..."
"What... what deep schemes..."
She clutched her chest and spat out another mouthful of blood.
"I have lived for over a hundred years, yet I never expected... never expected that today, I would fall into the hands of a mere teenager..."
Her eyes were full of unwillingness. And, deep despair.
Jiang Yun looked at her, his expression calm. "You can't blame anyone else for this," he said slowly.
"If you want to blame someone, blame your own carelessness."
"You dared to attack with all your might without even figuring out what abilities my Beast had. If you don't lose, who will?"
Blood Nether Lotus's body trembled slightly upon hearing this. She closed her eyes. After a long while, she opened them and looked at Jiang Yun. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions.
"Forget it... forget it..." She sighed. "It was I who was blind and misjudged the situation."
She turned her head to look at Blood Lady. "Disciple."
Blood Lady hurriedly ran over to support her. "Revered Master..."
Blood Nether Lotus looked at her, her eyes filled with affection.
"From today on, the Blood Fiend Pavilion will submit to this Young Master."
"Do not... do not oppose him anymore."
"He... he is far more terrifying than we imagined..."
Blood Lady was stunned. She looked at Blood Nether Lotus, her eyes filled with reluctance and unwillingness. But in the end, she nodded.
She turned and faced Jiang Yun. She knelt on both knees and bowed deeply.
"Blood Fiend Pavilion Revered Master, Blood Lady, is willing to lead all members of the Blood Fiend Pavilion to submit to Young Master."
"From now on, the entire Blood Fiend Pavilion will follow Young Master's orders."
"If we harbor any disloyalty, may we be destroyed by heaven and earth."
Her voice was clear and firm. Behind her, the surviving Diamond Rank experts also knelt down one after another.
"We are willing to submit to Young Master!" "We are willing to submit to Young Master!"
The voices rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire Blood Fiend Pavilion.
Jiang Yun looked at them and nodded slightly. "Rise."
He looked at Blood Nether Lotus. "You and I had no grudge. If you hadn't tried to kill me, I wouldn't have killed you. Although your Beast is crippled, if you behave yourself, I can ensure you live the rest of your life without worries."
Blood Nether Lotus gave a bitter smile. "Thank you, Young Master, for sparing my life."
She clutched her chest and struggled to stand up. Seeing this, Blood Lady hurriedly supported her.
Everything seemed to have finally settled.
The four major forces of Black Rock City: Red Fire Mercenary Group, Black Wind Stronghold, Blood Fiend Pavilion, and Blood Thorn Mercenary Group, had all submitted to Jiang Yun.
From today on, he was the true Revered Master of Black Rock City.
Jiang Yun looked at the people kneeling before him and felt a slight sense of relief.
This time, although there were some twists and turns, it was finally...
However, just as Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, a sudden change occurred again!
From the sky, a cold shout suddenly rang out!
"Blood Fiend Domain—Rise!!!"
The voice exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap!
The next moment, beams of blood-red light descended from the sky!
Those beams of light were as thick as mountains, emitting a terrifying aura! They descended from the sky and plunged directly into the ground!
Surrounding the entire Blood Fiend Pavilion, they formed a huge circle!
A blood-red barrier rose from those beams of light! In an instant, it enveloped the entire Blood Fiend Pavilion!
The barrier was like a huge cage! Inside the cage, thick blood-red mist permeated the air!
The mist carried a strong stench of blood! Taking a single breath made one dizzy and weak all over!
This was... a Domain! A Domain skill of a Falling Star Rank Beast!
And it was an extremely Rare blood-type Domain!
The entire Blood Fiend Pavilion was instantly plunged into a blood-red world!
Jiang Yun's expression changed. He looked around.
The blood-red mist was becoming thicker and thicker. His vision began to blur. His body began to feel heavy.
The Beast Taming Power within his body actually began to drain uncontrollably!
"Not good! This Domain can devour Beast Taming Power!"
He hurriedly urged his Beast Taming Power to resist. But that devouring force was too strong. It was so strong that he couldn't fully resist it at all!
He Yuanming and the other three collapsed directly to the ground. Their Beast Taming Power was draining at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Iron Mountain Liu shouted in terror, "What is going on?! My Beast Taming Power!"
Li Fengxing also shouted, "A Domain! It's a Domain skill! There is another expert attacking from the shadows!"
Blood Lady's face was deathly pale as she tightly supported Blood Nether Lotus.
Blood Nether Lotus's face was ashen. She was already a cripple and couldn't even stand steadily.
In this Domain, she didn't even have the ability to protect herself.
Everyone fell into panic. Only Jiang Yun was still standing there, forcing himself to hold on.
He looked up at the sky. His eyes were filled with coldness.
"I didn't expect I still wasn't cautious enough. There's actually another expert hidden in the shadows..."
He couldn't help but look at the trembling He Yuanming beside him. Could this be his real plan?
Just then, a cold laugh came from the void.
The voice was filled with smugness, arrogance, and long-suppressed ecstasy.
"Hahaha! I've finally waited for this opportunity!"
A figure slowly walked out of the void. He hovered in the blood-red sky, looking down at everyone below.
His face was filled with a smug smile.
"I thought it would take some effort to get you old hag out and then deal with you, but I didn't expect you to be crippled by this mere brat!"
He looked at Blood Nether Lotus, his eyes filled with mockery. "It saved me quite a bit of effort!"
"Hahahaha!" The laughter echoed in the blood-red Domain.
Everyone looked up at the figure. It was an old man. He was wearing a grey robe, and his hair and beard were all white.
Under his feet, he was stepping on a giant blood-colored bat.
The bat was entirely blood-red, its eyes like two rubies, emitting an eerie light...
