102: Blood Killer

This is all due to the Sect Master's brilliant scheme, which accounts for every contingency.

Hearing this, the man spoke with a look of reverence and admiration.

"Haha..."

True Person Xue Sha looked at the man in front of him, shook his head, and smiled.

The man before him was the former Shenhua Sect Sect Master, also a great Cultivator of the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, but in front of him, he could only humble himself and try to curry favor.

This was the wonderful advantage brought by powerful strength, True Person Xue Sha sighed slightly, not paying much attention to the Shenhua Sect Sect Master's attempts to curry favor. After thinking for a moment, he asked again:

"Has everything around here been dealt with cleanly?"

"Reporting to the Sect Master, it has been handled appropriately."

The Shenhua Sect Sect Master responded respectfully.

"Good!"

"Since that is the case, let us begin the final step."

True Person Xue Sha commanded, filled with anticipation, and then re-entered the blood pool.

The Shenhua Sect Sect Master accepted the order and left. Subsequently, blood-colored rings silently spread out from Shenhua Peak, enveloping the entire Muli Town.

In the blood pool, True Person Xue Sha felt the blood of the people of the Town rapidly converging toward him, and his heart was excited:

"With so many years of accumulation, plus the blood of this entire town, it should be enough to Breakthrough to the Late Golden Core Stage..."

"As long as I Breakthrough, I can run rampant in this Huichuan Prefecture. If that happens..."

"..."

True Person Xue Sha's expression was abnormal. After a moment, his mind calmed down, and he absorbed all the converging vital blood and the blood from the blood pool into himself, refining it completely.

On Shenhua Peak, the Shenhua Sect Sect Master watched the countless vital blood streams surge toward the ground, his expression constantly shifting.

Each stream of vital blood represented a human life, a life under the jurisdiction of the Shenhua Sect. After a long time, the Shenhua Sect Sect Master looked down at the mountain peak beneath his feet, his eyes deep, his mind pondering something unknown.

Over a month later.

Outside Jade Moon Peak in Qingyuan Town, Zhou Kaiding's figure appeared. He opened the Grand Array, entered the formation, and arrived at the peak.

On this trip, he had killed another evil Cultivator. However, these evil Cultivators were endless, constantly appearing. Although they were only Qi Refining evil Cultivators, they were quite troublesome.

He heard that Foundation Establishment Stage evil Cultivators were also appearing in other areas, wreaking havoc. However, the Xuanqing Sect had already dispatched several Elders, not only to hunt down these Foundation Establishment evil Cultivators but also to investigate the underlying situation.

On the peak, Zhou Kaiding and Mo Xuan sat facing each other. Just as they were about to drink, a snow-white Spirit Crane flew over and stopped outside the Grand Array.

"Hmm?"

Zhou Kaiding was slightly surprised, and Mo Xuan also looked outside the formation.

With a wave of his hand, the Grand Array opened. The snow-white Spirit Crane spat out an object from its mouth, which turned into a stream of light and shot straight toward Zhou Kaiding.

Zhou Kaiding circulated his magic power and caught the Jade Slip.

Seeing that the Jade Slip had been delivered, the Spirit Crane did not linger and flew away from the area.

Holding the Jade Slip, Zhou Kaiding immersed his Divine Sense into it.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, Fellow Daoist Mo, please proceed quickly to the Shenhua Sect!"

Zhou Kaiding was shocked and handed the Jade Slip over to Mo Xuan.

"Since it is an order from the Xuanqing Sect, we can only make this trip," Mo Xuan nodded and said to Zhou Kaiding after reading it.

Zhou Kaiding understood. He found Zhou Licheng and Zhou Liyue, gave them instructions, and then flew out of the Jade Moon Peak Grand Array with Mo Xuan, heading toward the location of the Shenhua Sect.

After the man and the snake left, the Jade Moon Peak Grand Array was fully activated.

Outside Muli Town, Zhou Kaiding and Mo Xuan stopped. Looking at the blood-colored Muli Town before them, they exchanged glances, confirming their suspicions somewhat.

Subsequently, the man and the snake did not linger, transforming into two streams of light, heading straight for the Shenhua Sect.

Outside the Shenhua Sect, figures stood in the void. A huge flying boat spanned the sky, and Disciples wearing the standard Xuanqing Sect robes were lined up on it.

When Zhou Kaiding and Mo Xuan arrived, this was the scene.

"True Person Xue Sha, I didn't expect you to still be alive."

A clear female voice rang out, grand and imposing. The speaker was a female Cultivator standing at the head of the group.

"Daoist Yunyan..."

Zhou Kaiding and Mo Xuan exchanged glances, thinking inwardly that the female Cultivator who spoke was none other than Daoist Yunyan, one of the three Golden Core True Persons of the Xuanqing Sect.

"True Person Qingmu is here too."

Zhou Kaiding looked toward the boy-like Cultivator next to Daoist Yunyan, his heart tightening. Two of the three Immortal Masters of the Xuanqing Sect had actually arrived.

This remnant of the Blood Sea Sect might be stronger than they imagined.

Mo Xuan and Zhou Kaiding flew into the group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators floating in mid-air and nodded toward everyone.

Among them were Xuanqing Sect Foundation Establishment Stage Elders, as well as various Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators like Zhou Kaiding and Mo Xuan who had been summoned.

"Hahahaha!"

"You are too late! I have already broken through to the Late Golden Core Stage. You lot cannot do anything to me."

Inside the Shenhua Sect, a tall figure flew straight out, looking down at everyone. A massive Aura erupted from him, impacting everyone's minds.

Although he spoke like this, True Person Xue Sha's heart sank slightly. He had just achieved the Breakthrough, yet the Xuanqing Sect had already come knocking. If they had arrived even a little earlier, his entire plan would likely have failed.

Everyone was terrified. They had never felt such an Aura before, and they all looked frightenedly toward the two leading Xuanqing Sect Immortal Masters.

Mo Xuan and Zhou Kaiding felt the same, both heavy-hearted. Late Golden Core Stage—let alone them, even the two Xuanqing Sect Immortal Masters combined might not be his match.

Mo Xuan's mind raced. Although his eyes were fixed on the two Immortal Masters, he was constantly thinking about a way to escape.

Entrusting his safety to others was not his style.

Hearing this, Daoist Yunyan showed no fear. She looked at the blood-colored figure floating in the air and spoke softly:

"I have already informed Senior Brother He. He should be arriving right about now."

"Aung~"

Sure enough, as soon as her voice fell, a Dragon's roar echoed across the sky. A silver-white Dragon over a hundred zhang long flew in from afar, its Golden Core Stage Demon King Aura completely undisguised.

Standing on top of it, with his hands clasped behind his back, was a figure dressed in white robes. His clothes fluttered, and his expression was solemn. It was True Person He Run of the Xuanqing Sect.

"Hmph!"

"What arrogance!"

True Person He Run coldly snorted, spreading his Aura to counteract True Person Xue Sha's Aura. The Dragon flew and arrived before the crowd, coiling its body and stopping in the air.

True Person Xue Sha's expression changed, and his heart sank slightly, but he quickly calmed down, thinking inwardly: I am also at the Late Golden Core Stage, what is there to fear?

"However, the traitor..."

True Person Xue Sha knew that a traitor had appeared by his side. His eyes flickered darkly.

With a shift of his thoughts, several figures inside the Shenhua Sect had their blood explode throughout their bodies, turning them into bloody figures before their vitality dissipated. Among them was the Shenhua Sect Sect Master.

"Xue Sha, the third Disciple of True Lord Blood Sea, I didn't expect you to have survived."

True Person He Run was also slightly surprised. True Lord Blood Sea had perished, yet True Person Xue Sha had managed to escape. His luck was good, but now that he had run into him, True Person Xue Sha's luck had run out.

"Stop talking nonsense! Fight me!"

True Person Xue Sha's Aura suddenly surged, and he shouted.

True Person He Run's heart stirred, and he vanished from atop the Cloud Jiao, reappearing in front of True Person Xue Sha. He stretched out his hand, electrical light flowing, and pressed straight toward True Person Xue Sha.

True Person Xue Sha was startled; True Person He Run's speed was unexpectedly fast. The blood color on his body gathered in his palm.

The electrical light collided with the blood color, and the impact scattered outwards. Everyone's bodies swayed, and they circulated their magic power, desperately trying to stabilize themselves.

The two were extremely fast. In just a short moment, they exchanged blows several times, moving away from the crowd and heading toward the sky.

"Cultivating evil techniques, leave none alive! Kill!"

Seeing that True Person He Run was dealing with True Person Xue Sha, Daoist Yunyan, who was leading the group, spoke. A beautiful white long sword Magic Treasure appeared in her hand. She grasped it, injected magic power, and the sword flew out, shooting straight toward the Shenhua Sect.

True Person Qingmu next to her did the same. A blue-green staff floated in front of him. He injected magic power, grasped it, and waved it down. A giant vine grew out, crashing violently toward the Shenhua Sect.

"Bang!"

With the full-force strike of the two Immortal Masters, the Shenhua Sect Grand Array shattered instantly.

Seeing the Grand Array broken, Daoist Yunyan recalled her Magic Treasure and waved her hand at the crowd. Disciples wearing Xuanqing Sect attire jumped down from the flying boat and charged toward the Shenhua Sect.

In the air, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators did the same, each taking out their Spiritual Artifacts and flying into the Shenhua Sect.

Mo Xuan and Zhou Kaiding mingled among them, neither rushing ahead nor falling behind, keeping their minds alert, guarding against possible dangers and changes.

As for the Cloud Jiao, it merely coiled in the air, watching coldly. Daoist Yunyan and the other Immortal Master said nothing, as the Cloud Jiao's cultivation was higher than theirs, and no one except True Person He Run could command it.

Inside the Shenhua Sect, fighting erupted everywhere—blood colors, treasure light, and Spells were constant.

Mo Xuan and Zhou Kaiding worked together. Mo Xuan was extremely fast; a flash of profound light, and he was beside an opponent, flicking his tail to send them flying.

Behind Zhou Kaiding, the Wish Wheel and the cheng fa sword emerged together, simultaneously attacking the person who had been sent flying.

While the person was blocking the Wish Wheel and the cheng fa sword, Mo Xuan flashed, reappeared beside him, coiled his snake body around him, and spread water mist.

In this manner, the man and the snake were invincible, finding no opponents inside the Shenhua Sect.

However, Mo Xuan never used his full strength from beginning to end, because there was simply no need.

In the air, Daoist Yunyan and True Person Qingmu occasionally struck out, casually killing the stragglers attempting to flee.

After some time, everyone flew up and gathered toward the two Immortal Masters.

The remaining Qi Refinement Stage Xuanqing Sect Disciples also headed toward the flying boat and were taken aboard.

With everyone returned, Daoist Yunyan spread her Divine Sense; there were no living people left inside the Shenhua Sect.

She waved the beautiful white long sword in her hand, and a huge sword shadow appeared in the air, slashing toward the Shenhua Sect.

"Rumble!"

Under this attack, the entire Shenhua Sect was completely reduced to ruins.

Watching this scene, everyone felt strange emotions and slight emotion. The Shenhua Sect was originally a strong power, with a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Shenhua Sect Sect Master presiding over it, yet now it was destroyed in a single moment.

Furthermore, the order Daoist Yunyan had just given was to leave none alive, so the remaining Shenhua Sect Disciples naturally had no chance of survival.

As for whether the Shenhua Sect had been usurped, coerced by others, or willingly transformed into evil Cultivators who practiced those evil techniques, the Xuanqing Sect clearly did not care.

In the eyes of the Xuanqing Sect, these were all minor figures, and it was not worth the effort to distinguish whether or not they had cultivated evil techniques; killing them all was sufficient.

Everyone felt a pang of sympathy, relieved that the Blood Sea Sect, which possessed Golden Core True Persons, had not targeted them, otherwise...

Above the sky.

Thunder was like a prison, and a sea of blood was like a tide. Thunder and blood colors intertwined, eroding each other.

Inside the Thunder Prison, True Person He Run held a three-foot-long sword. The sword hilt was inscribed with the name: Executing Evil.

Around him, a talisman inscribed with lightning patterns rotated. This was True Person He Run's Lifebound Treasure, the lightning summoning token.

Deep within the sea of blood, True Person Xue Sha held a blood-colored stone stele. The bloody character 'Kill' shone brightly, resonating with the 'Kill' character Blood Robe behind him. This was True Person Xue Sha's Lifebound Treasure, the Blood Kill Stele.

True Person Xue Sha tossed it out, and the Blood Kill Stele quickly grew larger. Huge blood-colored 'Kill' characters emerged, turning into streams of blood-colored phantoms that attacked True Person He Run.

True Person He Run's eyes were cold. He summoned the lightning summoning token into his left hand. Magic power surged out, and lightning snakes rushed forth from the talisman, completely eradicating the blood-colored phantoms.

"Go!"

True Person He Run waved his left hand, and the lightning summoning token shot through the air, attacking the Blood Kill Stele. Lightning snakes and blood phantoms, the two Magic Treasures, constantly intertwined.

With the Blood Kill Stele entangled by the lightning summoning token, True Person He Run, holding the Executing Evil Sword, charged directly into the sea of blood.

True Person Xue Sha was shocked that True Person He Run would be so reckless.

With a thought, the sea of blood surged, pressing toward True Person He Run. True Person He Run continuously wielded the Executing Evil Sword, and streaks of lightning tore through the sea of blood.

The two quickly approached each other. True Person Xue Sha formed a hand seal, and the blood-colored robe on his back quickly rose up, enveloping True Person He Run.

True Person He Run threw out the Executing Evil Sword, sending it straight toward the blood-colored robe.

Subsequently, the magic power in his body circulated rapidly, and his Aura climbed another notch. With a thought, his body moved like lightning, suddenly appearing right in front of True Person Xue Sha.

Electrical light coiled around his fingertips, pressing straight toward True Person Xue Sha's chest.

The sudden increase in True Person He Run's Aura made True Person Xue Sha extremely wary. The surrounding sea of blood converged but had not yet fully gathered.

The two finger seals instantly broke through the sea of blood around him and heavily struck True Person Xue Sha's chest.

"Pfft!"

True Person Xue Sha spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his magic power in chaos. Without time to deal with his injuries, he rapidly retreated.

However, True Person He Run, having transformed into lightning, was already one step ahead of True Person Xue Sha. He arrived behind him, struck out with a palm, and imprinted it on the center of his back.

This strike not only disrupted True Person Xue Sha's newly stabilized magic power again, but the lightning in the palm also invaded True Person Xue Sha's body, where the thunder traveled and violently exploded, severely damaging his Meridians.

After several more exchanges like this.

True Person He Run's eyes were cold. He plunged his right hand into True Person Xue Sha's chest, grabbing True Person Xue Sha's heart in his hand.

True Person Xue Sha's eyes dimmed. Looking at True Person He Run, who was right in front of him, he struggled to speak:

"You... actually... reached... this step..."

"Hoo~"

True Person Xue Sha spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his vitality rapidly dissipating.

"The Xuanqing Lightning Spell, the path of righteousness, executes evil, breaks misfortune, and eliminates demons. You are naturally no match for me."

True Person He Run spoke coldly, his tone calm.

Looking at True Person He Run, who was both cold and righteous, True Person Xue Sha seemed to realize something. The corners of his mouth curled slightly. He extinguished his original intention, allowing True Person He Run to crush his heart without making any further move.

True Person He Run released his hand, and a stream of magic power flew out, preventing True Person Xue Sha's corpse from falling.

He then recalled the lightning summoning token and the Executing Evil Sword into his hands. The lightning summoning token sank into his Sea of Consciousness, fluctuating slightly, while the Executing Evil Sword was put into his Storage Pouch.

As for the Blood Kill Stele and the Blood Robe, they had already lost their power when their master died and were shattered by the lightning summoning token and the Executing Evil Sword.

True Person He Run's magic power surged out, dissolving the bloodstains, and then he summoned the Storage Pouch from True Person Xue Sha's body into his hand.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, True Person He Run's body imperceptibly paused, but in an instant, he returned to normal. He casually waved a hand seal of lightning, turning True Person Xue Sha's corpse into a blood mist.

Inside the Storage Pouch, there was a blood-colored Dao platform with four characters on it, which read:

"Blood Infant Secret Canon!"
