53: A thousand-year-old blood bodhi, possessed by the Medicine Venerable!

As for himself.

This Four Symbols Sealing Heaven Formation is a Tier 6 grand Formation; even though he has mastered the Law of Space at the Third Transformation level, forcing his way in would easily cause the Formation to collapse, releasing that Void Refining old demon.

Therefore, in this round, he still has to rely on his Disciple, Lu Xueyao.

Of course, since she is facing the Son of Destiny, he has also prepared many contingencies for Lu Xueyao.

Just as the Righteous Path Disciples were preparing to enter.

Below, the blood river surged, and the figure of the Blood God Child shot up into the sky, blocking the three Soul Transformation experts.

"Want to ruin my holy sect's great cause? Get past me first."

His body was filled with monstrous blood qi, and he actually dared to challenge the three Soul Transformation experts alone.

"Seeking death."

The Sword Venerable of the Great Luo Sword Sect had the most explosive temper and directly drew his sword to strike.

The Blood God Child fought while retreating, clearly intending to lure the three away from this place.

Yan Nantian frowned slightly; he saw the other party's intention, but at this moment, he had no choice but to fight.

He turned his head to look at Lu Yuan, who had remained motionless, and a light flashed in his hand as a crystal fragment emitting a deep blue halo flew out.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this demon is cunning. We three will go to hunt him down. Please trouble yourself to watch over this Formation gap and do not let the Demonic Path send any more reinforcements inside."

"This is a fragment of the Law of Water, which will serve as a token of gratitude for your help. Once this is done, the Yu Hua Immortal Sect will surely reward you handsomely."

Lu Yuan took the fragment and felt the pure Law power contained within it, a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Fragment of the Law of Water.

It could just help his Law of Water break through to the Third Transformation.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, go ahead without worry. With me here, not even a fly will be able to get in."

Lu Yuan put away the fragment and promised solemnly.

Watching the three Soul Transformation experts chase after the Blood God Child into the distance, Lu Yuan hovered alone above the Formation gap, a meaningful smile curling the corners of his mouth.

"Flies won't be able to get in."

"But it is also time to harvest the leeks inside."

Fallen Demon Valley.

Xiao Fan, clad in a black robe, continued to deepen into the core area of the Secret Realm under the guidance of Venerable Yao.

His eyes were burning as he stared fixedly at the crimson halo at the end of his line of sight.

"Fan'er, it's just ahead."

Venerable Yao's aged voice rang in his mind, carrying a trace of urgency: "That is the Li Fire Spring that Seals the heart of the Blood River Ancestor. The blood-red spiritual plant in the center of the spring eye is the thousand-year blood bodhi. This object was born by absorbing the essence of Li Fire and the heart blood of the Blood Ancestor. Its medicinal power is incomparably tyrannical, and it is the best choice to help you break the second shackle of the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body."

Hearing this, Xiao Fan quickened his pace.

However, when he approached and saw the scene in front of him, his face darkened instantly.

I saw that the Li Fire Spring, with a radius of a hundred zhang, was already filled with Cultivators wearing blood-colored robes.

Although their cultivation levels were uneven, every one of them was exuding menacing Evil Qi; they were clearly the elites of the Blood God Sect, one of the Six Demonic Sects.

The leader had a sinister face, surrounded by thick Blood Evil Qi, his cultivation already at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, just one step away from the Golden Core Realm.

This person was the leader of the Blood God Sect who entered the Forbidden Ground this time, the True Disciple, Nangong Ming.

"Who is it that dares to spy on the Forbidden Ground of my holy sect?"

Nangong Ming had keen perception and turned his head sharply, his gaze locking onto Xiao Fan like a poisonous snake.

Xiao Fan took a deep breath and did not back down.

In the world of immortal cultivation, snatching treasures is all about one's own ability.

Although he was only at the Qi Refinement Stage, he possessed the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body and a Heavenly Flame, so even against a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, he had the strength to fight.

"This blood bodhi is an ownerless object; whoever sees it has a share."

Xiao Fan said coldly.

"An ownerless object? That is simply a joke."

Nangong Ming seemed to have heard some huge joke, and a cruel arc curled his mouth: "In this Fallen Demon Valley, whatever the Blood God Sect takes a liking to belongs to us. A mere ant at the Qi Refinement Stage dares to talk big. Go, kill him and use his blood to refine the Formation Flag."

He waved his hand casually, as if he were shooing away a fly.

A Blood God Sect Disciple at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment sneered, sacrificed a blood-colored curved blade, and pounced toward Xiao Fan's face like lightning.

"Kid, keep your eyes open in your next life... uh."

The Disciple's harsh words hadn't even finished before his voice stopped abruptly.

Xiao Fan stood where he was, not moving an inch, only slowly raising his right hand.

A ball of golden flame suddenly bloomed in his palm, turning into a streak of golden light that instantly pierced the Disciple's chest.

Glazed Golden Flame.

Chi!

The Disciple's body, under the scorching of the golden flame, didn't even have time to scream before it turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated between heaven and earth.

One-hit kill.

The whole place was dead silent.

The sneer on Nangong Ming's face froze instantly, replaced by a trace of shock, anger, and disbelief.

"Heavenly Flame. Good kid, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant; it turns out you are relying on possessing a rare treasure."

Greed flashed in Nangong Ming's eyes, then turned into intense murderous intent.

"However, having killed my man, you will surely die today."

Boom.

Nangong Ming no longer underestimated him and attacked personally.

He formed claws with both hands, and five streaks of scarlet blood light sprayed from his fingertips, grabbing straight at Xiao Fan's head.

"Blood Evil Claw."

Before this claw even arrived, the surrounding air seemed to have been torn apart by it, emitting a harsh, shrill sound.

Xiao Fan's expression was solemn; he could feel the terror of this blow.

If he were to take it head-on, even his Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, which was as hard as iron, would likely be injured.

"Heavenly Flame Nine Escapes."

Xiao Fan shouted inwardly.

The Glazed Golden Flame in his body burned crazily, circulating through his Meridians according to a specific route.

The next moment, his body seemed to turn into a group of illusory flames, leaving an afterimage on the spot.

Chi la.

The Blood Evil Claw shattered the afterimage, leaving five bottomless gullies on the ground.

And Xiao Fan's true self had already appeared ten zhang away.

"Good movement technique."

Nangong Ming's murderous intent grew even stronger: "But let's see how many times you can dodge. All Disciples, listen to my orders, set up the Formation and surround and kill this person."

Following his order, dozens of surrounding Blood God Sect Disciples moved in unison, waving the blood-colored Formation Flags in their hands, sealing off all of Xiao Fan's escape routes.

Xiao Fan's heart sank to the bottom.

If it were one-on-one, he might be able to deal with Nangong Ming by relying on his many trump cards.

But now that the enemy was numerous, if he were to fall into an encirclement, he would undoubtedly die.

"Teacher, help me."

Xiao Fan called out anxiously in his heart.

In the ring, Venerable Yao sighed.

"Forget it, this place is dangerous, we cannot stay long, we must finish this quickly."

The moment the voice fell, a Soul power that was vicissitudinous, ancient, and incomparably vast surged out from the ring, instantly taking over Xiao Fan's body.

Weng!

Xiao Fan's eyes closed suddenly, and when he opened them again, the pupils, which were originally clear and carried a trace of childishness, had become as deep as an abyss, as if they had experienced the vicissitudes of countless years.

A terrifying aura that did not belong to the Qi Refinement Stage, and even surpassed the Foundation Establishment Stage, erupted from his body.

Although it was suppressed by the Four Symbols Sealing Heaven Formation, this aura finally stayed at the level of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, but that nobility and pressure originating from the Soul level made all the Blood God Sect Disciples present tremble violently.
