47: Kill the disaster level in seconds, see you again blood sacrifice

Xiao Zhuo, shrouded in azure light, sped across the clouds like lightning! The piercing shriek of tearing air was left far behind.

His evasion speed had long since broken the sound barrier, leaving a long, conical wake of air behind him.

In the southern part of Jizhou, four cities were in distress. Calamity Level Demons/Monsters had appeared and were attacking each, and pleas for help from the defending officials arrived like snowflakes.

Xiao Zhuo didn't hesitate, fully activating Azure Light Evasion without regard for the cost!

The straight-line speed of this evasion technique was simply abnormal! In less than half an incense stick's time, a hundred li had passed.

The first target—Jingchuan City—its outline leaped into his view!

On the city walls, green-faced, fanged Devil Heads clung like a tide.

On the ten-zhang profound iron city walls, the twang of bowstrings and the roars of demons intertwined. Boiling oil poured onto sharp claws, emitting a piercing, sizzling sound! Several True Essence Realm Martial Artist auras flickered between the battlements.

Xiao Zhuo's Divine Sense swept out, instantly locking onto the rear of the demon army—more than a dozen Nightmare-rank Demons were guarding a Calamity-rank Demon, gathered on a small hilltop! There were also more than a dozen strong auras hidden on the city walls.

“Good! The full-scale battle hasn't begun yet!” Xiao Zhuo's spirits lifted.

At this moment, strong individuals from both sides had discovered the uninvited azure light in the sky!

The azure light suddenly whipped its tail, plunging like a meteor, directly striking the core of the demon camp!

Jingchuan City Tower Command Hall.

Around the giant sand table, the atmosphere was heavy.

City Lord Jin Tianming's gaze was fixed on the battlefield.

“City Lord, is there still no news from Jizhou's reinforcements? The demons... it seems another great Devil Head has joined them!” A strong individual at the Condensation Aperture Realm beside him said with concern.

“Alas... it seems these old bones of mine will finally be put to use today!” At the end of the sand table, a silver-haired, robust old man sighed, but his eyes burned with fierce Battle Intent.

“Elder Xu! While we Juniors still live, how can we allow you to take the field!” A dignified middle-aged man in a black and white cloak next to him said in a deep voice.

Everyone discussed animatedly, but Jin Tianming stared intently at the diving azure light.

“No! That azure light... it's not a demon!”

“Boom—!!!”

Ten li away, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly erupted!

A terrifying hundred-meter-long Saber Qi tore through the air from the azure light, slashing down! Its target was precisely the hilltop where the demon leaders were gathered!

Where the Saber Qi passed, the small hilltop was instantly leveled! Smoke and shattered rocks shot skyward!

As soon as Xiao Zhuo approached, purple flames surged from his Meridians, and profound Nether Thunder light entwined his blade! The Heavenly Dipper Transformation to Zenith Saber Technique's ultimate Killing Intent—"Purple Star Meteor Fall"—erupted with ferocity!

Fourteen Nightmare-rank Demons were instantly cut in half, without even a chance to scream!

The Calamity-rank Demon was a gray-haired, hunched old man. Although his reaction was slightly faster, he still had an arm severed by this surprise attack!

“Human Race! You seek death!!” The old man's eyes were bloodshot. Seeing the complete annihilation of his clan's elite younger generation, furious rage consumed him!

However, what terrified him even more was—at the wound of his severed arm, a terrifying azure-gray lightning power was furiously corroding!

The Demonic Qi was unable to approach, let alone regenerate!

“You...” The old man was horrified. Just as he was about to lock onto Xiao Zhuo, the azure light flashed again before his eyes!

“Pfft!”

A great head shot skyward!

At the same time, countless lightning-infused Saber Qi appeared out of thin air, instantly dismembering his remaining body!

With a flash of azure light, Xiao Zhuo was already at the site of the shattered corpse.

With a grab of his large hand, an egg-sized primordial elixir, radiating sinister Demonic Qi, landed in his grasp.

“A Peak Calamity-Grade primordial elixir... that was close, almost shattered it.” A slight curve appeared at his lips. With a wave of his hand, he collected all the scattered corpses into his storage ring.

His movements were fluid and seamless. He then transformed into an azure light and disappeared into the sky.

On Jingchuan City Tower, there was a deathly silence.

The expressions of the people around the sand table were frozen, their minds blank, as if they had witnessed a miracle.

“Wha... what the hell! Which immortal is this?! Two moves! Just two moves! More than a dozen Nightmare-rank Demons plus one Calamity-rank Demon... all gone?!” It wasn't until a long time later that someone managed to swallow with difficulty, their voice dry.

“It must be a super powerful individual from Jizhou!” Jin Tianming suddenly slammed his hand on the table, his voice trembling with excitement, “What are you still standing around for?! The demon leaders are all dead! Follow me out and clean up the remnants!!”

Before his words finished, a figure had already rushed out of the city tower, pouncing towards the still bewildered demon army below!

“Damn it! Time to harvest!” A Condensation Aperture Realm Martial Artist, as if waking from a dream, roared and leaped off the city wall!

In an instant, the strong individuals on the city wall were like tigers unleashed from their cages! Countless Saber Qi and Sword Qi crisscrossed the battlefield, and black demonic blood splattered everywhere!

The clamor here no longer concerned Xiao Zhuo.

His temporary waist token vibrated slightly, recording his first battle achievement (merit).

“Boom—!”

A huge air explosion erupted again in the sky! The azure light, trailing a dazzling tail flame, accelerated to its limit!

In less than half an incense stick's time, Pinggu City, eighty li away, was already beneath him!

The soaring blood-red light was blinding! A sickeningly sweet, pungent smell, carried by the strong wind, assailed his nostrils.

The dark battle flag fluttering on the city wall was already soaked with black-red bloodstains!

“Blood Sacrifice Great Array!” Xiao Zhuo's pupils contracted sharply, and his overwhelming Killing Intent could no longer be suppressed!

The demon attack here had long since ended, and the Blood Sacrifice Great Array was activated, gathering the blood essence of the entire city! The strong individuals in the city had likely all perished!

A chilling Killing Intent permeated the air like a tangible substance! Xiao Zhuo flew above the city, revealing his form.

The dragon blood saber was held high! Azure-gray lightning roared and danced on the blade!

Purple energy surged in his Dantian, and an invisible Saber Intent erupted with a roar! Before he even struck, an invisible wave of pressure swept downwards like a tsunami!

In the city, a ferocious, horned demon was greedily staring at the rolling blood sphere in the center of the Great Array when it suddenly felt a fatal threat from above!

It abruptly looked up, only to see a black-clad youth holding a saber towards the sky, like a god of slaughter!

“Haha! This old man was just complaining that I hadn't killed enough to have fun! Another snack comes to die!” The horned demon (Long Shi) laughed wildly, stomping its feet fiercely!

The ground exploded into a giant crater dozens of meters deep! It transformed into a bloody meteor, charging directly at Xiao Zhuo! As a Peak Calamity-Grade existence, half a step into the King-Grade, it was confident that no one below the Sea of Consciousness could defeat it!

A mere Gui Zhen Realm (Return to Simplicity Realm - Cultivation Realm) cultivator, wasn't he just delivering himself to his death?

“Seeking death?” Xiao Zhuo's lips curled into an extremely cold arc, “Indeed, it is seeking death!”

“Purple Star Dragon—Slash!!!”

The dragon blood saber slashed down ferociously!

“Roar—!”

A ferocious five-clawed azure-gray lightning Dragon roared out from the blade!

Wherever it passed, the air twisted and boomed, and space itself seemed to tremble!

The ferocious grin on Long Shi's face instantly turned into extreme astonishment and horror! It didn't even have time to react further before it was swallowed whole by the destructive lightning Dragon!

The lightning Dragon's momentum did not diminish, crashing fiercely into the Blood Sacrifice Great Array in the city center!

“Rumble—!!!!”

A giant mushroom cloud, carrying shattered rocks and raging flames, shot skyward! A terrifying shockwave swept in all directions!

Wherever it passed, the demons were reduced to dust! Buildings within ten li were like paper, instantly exploding, disintegrating, and annihilating!

Above the city, Xiao Zhuo's eyes were as cold as ice.

Looking at the ruined, dead city below, almost completely leveled by his single strike, the long-suppressed violent Killing Intent finally revealed its true ferocity!

As the smoke cleared slightly, his figure flickered, appearing in the deep crater at the explosion's core.

Long Shi's charred, broken, and hornless corpse lay within it.

With a raise of his hand and a drop of the saber, he completely chopped it into pieces, dug out its primordial elixir, and collected both it and the remaining corpse into his storage ring.

“Whoosh—!”

The azure light once again tore through the sky, disappearing into the clouds.

“Must be faster!” A trace of painful self-reproach flashed in Xiao Zhuo's eyes.

If he had come here directly... but this thought was forcibly suppressed as soon as it arose! The Blood Sacrifice Great Array in Pinggu City had already been activated, meaning it had fallen at least half a day ago!

Even if he had disregarded Jingchuan City, it would have been too late to save it!

Shaking off unnecessary emotions, the azure light's speed increased again!

In the sky ahead, another dazzling bloody smoke signal, like a scar, tore through the firmament!
