57: The half-demon appears, is Yan Ruyu?

"......"

Lin Qinghuang looked forward, her pupils shrinking involuntarily.

A middle-aged man dressed in a blood-red robe and wielding a blood-red demonic blade appeared.

His demonic aura was extremely dense, yet it wasn't purely demonic; it carried some human aura. This was neither a demon nor a human, but a half-demon.

Lin Qinghuang's expression became incredibly solemn. She had seen this demon before; he had killed the person from Wuya Pavilion, and his strength was terrifying, likely a Tuojiang Realm Peak existence.

"It's you... Half-demon Blood Sky Wolf!"

Xie Weilou stared at the blood-robed man, a strange look in his eyes. He had seen this half-demon, or more precisely, the original owner had.

Three years ago, when the West Chu major criminal was released from a distance, this half-demon appeared. He had some connection with Nightingale.

Lin Qinghuang glanced at Xie Weilou. This guy knows this half-demon?

Blood Sky Wolf stared at Xie Weilou, a cold smile on his face: "Logically, I should thank you for letting the general go, but unfortunately, someone wants your life."

"Yan Ruyu?"

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently.

The previous West Chu Captain Tie Hu was likely sent by Yan Ruyu. Now that this West Chu half-demon has appeared, it's almost certainly Yan Ruyu's doing.

Things were getting more interesting. Yan Wugou colluding with demons, Yan Ruyu colluding with West Chu? If so, Yan Ruyu was hiding even deeper than he imagined.

A blood-red light flashed in Blood Sky Wolf's eyes: "You're smarter than you were three years ago, which means I absolutely cannot let you live."

"Qinghuang, can you fight?"

Xie Weilou asked.

Qinghuang gripped Tianya Sword, her expression solemn as she said, "I'll hold him off, you run!"

Crossing one minor realm was possible, but crossing two minor realms was out of the question. If she were to fight to the death and use all her trump cards, there might still be some hope, but she would be crippled even if she didn't die.

Xie Weilou raised an eyebrow: "What kind of person is Xie Weilou? How can I let a woman stand in front of me? However... this half-demon is a bit strong, I'll still stand behind you! It's easier to protect you."

Lin Qinghuang: "......"

"Die!"

Blood Sky Wolf's killing intent was thick. His blood-red longblade suddenly slashed towards Lin Qinghuang, and a terrifying blade qi erupted. The cave instantly shook, rocks cracked, and debris continuously fell.

Lin Qinghuang unleashed a sword strike.

Blade and sword clashed together.

Boom!

Lin Qinghuang felt a massive force strike her, her arm aching, and she was instantly sent flying. Her expression sank. With the falling debris, if they continued to fight, the cave would soon collapse.

Boom!

Lin Qinghuang punched the rock wall, blasting a large hole through it. The mountain was pierced through. Without hesitation, she grabbed Xie Weilou and rushed out through the hole.

"Can you escape?"

Blood Sky Wolf sneered, his blood-red longblade suddenly slashing out. A hundred-meter blade qi erupted, splitting the mountain in half.

The terrifying blade qi slashed towards Lin Qinghuang and Xie Weilou.

Lin Qinghuang's figure flickered, flying down to stand on the ground. She released her grip and said in a condensed voice, "Xie Weilou, hurry and leave!"

"He can't leave."

Blood Sky Wolf rushed out of the mountain, standing above, and slashed down with his blade. Blood-red blade qi covered the sky, directly sealing off Lin Qinghuang and Xie Weilou.

Lin Qinghuang's gaze sharpened. She immediately formed a sword incantation, and Tianya Sword slashed out, a hundred-meter sword qi blasting upwards.

The blood-red blade qi and sword qi clashed together.

Bang!

The sword qi was shattered, but the blade qi's power did not diminish, slashing fiercely towards Lin Qinghuang.

Lin Qinghuang immediately dodged. A fifty-meter long crack was blasted into the ground, ice and snow splattering. The powerful airwave directly sent her flying.

She flipped over, her longsword plunging into the ground, leaving a long mark as she slid back twenty meters before stopping. She glanced at her palm, which was already broken and bleeding.

Tuojiang Realm Mid-stage against Tuojiang Realm Peak was still quite a difference.

"Sky Wolf Slash."

Blood Sky Wolf's tone was chilling. He caressed the back of his blade with both hands, then suddenly swung it. A desolate blood-red heavenly blade appeared in the nine heavens.

Whoosh!

He slashed down with one strike, blood-light filling the sky. A three-hundred-meter blade qi fiercely slashed down, and cracks appeared on the nearby mountain, unable to withstand the power of this strike.

Lin Qinghuang gritted her silver teeth, immediately forming a sword incantation. Tianya Sword floated before her. Her hands continuously formed seals, and the longsword vibrated. Terrifying sword qi permeated outwards, green light bursting forth, condensing into green lotus flowers.

"Green Lotus, Ask the Heavens!"

Lin Qinghuang soared into the air, her longsword suspended before her. She waved her finger, her long hair dancing, and cold light flickered in her eyes.

Whoosh!

Tianya Sword shot up into the sky, a hundred-meter green sword qi erupting. It instantly slashed towards the nine heavens. Wherever it passed, lotus flowers appeared, white snow flew, and sword qi was like frost.

Boom!

The three-hundred-meter blood-red blade qi and the hundred-meter green sword qi collided. After only a second of stalemate, the green sword qi disintegrated, and the blade qi crashed down, engulfing Lin Qinghuang.

A tremendous roar echoed from the sky. The blade qi slashed down, blasting a three-hundred-meter long crack into the ground, and a large mountain in front was even split in half by the single strike.

Lin Qinghuang's body fell, her hair disheveled, the mask on her face shattered, a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, and her face incredibly pale.

Just as she was about to hit the ground, Lin Qinghuang pointed her sword at the ground, flipped over, and stood up. She took a deep breath, feeling her body's condition, and couldn't help but frown.

Blood Sky Wolf stood above, holding his longblade, and said indifferently, "To withstand one of my strikes and not die, you are indeed not simple. If you were to advance another realm, perhaps I would have to avoid you today, but unfortunately, you are about to die."

"Die?"

A blood-red light appeared in Lin Qinghuang's eyes. She gently reached out and touched her glabella. A rune appeared. The moment the rune appeared, her body trembled, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

Xie Weilou looked at Lin Qinghuang, raising an eyebrow. He came to Qinghuang's side and grabbed her hand: "Lin Qinghuang, that's enough."

"Don't mess around..."

Lin Qinghuang said in a condensed voice.

"Die!"

Blood Sky Wolf's killing intent was thick. He slashed down with another strike, intending to blast Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang to death with one blow. A hundred-meter blade qi sealed off the sky, instantly slashing down, carrying terrifying destructive power.

Cold sweat appeared on Lin Qinghuang's forehead as she desperately drew out the power from her glabella.

Xie Weilou glanced at the hundred-meter blade qi slashing down from above, and waved his sleeve.

Boom!

This hundred-meter blade qi was instantly shattered, blood-light surging in all directions.

"Hm?"

Blood Sky Wolf and Lin Qinghuang were both startled at the same time.

"Xie Weilou... you..."

Lin Qinghuang's movements paused. The scene before her clearly exceeded her expectations. She had originally planned to fight to the death, but she didn't expect Xie Weilou to make a move.

To casually shatter Blood Sky Wolf's blade qi, what level of cultivation would that require?

"Leave the rest to me!"

Xie Weilou looked at Blood Sky Wolf above.

"I misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be so deeply hidden."

Blood Sky Wolf raised an eyebrow.

Whoosh!

Xie Weilou waved his hand, and burial flower sword appeared before him...
