141: Chapter 171 The Magic of the Blood Blade
The battle erupted in an instant. The God Worship Cult members shouted in unison, waving their weapons frantically and rushing toward Jiang Ling like a surging tide.
Jiang Ling's figure flickered suddenly, nimbly dodging the attacks of the first few cultists to charge, while the blood blade in his hand carved an incredibly sharp arc in the air.
"Szzzt!"
The blood blade collided violently with a cultist's weapon, and in an instant, the weapon snapped in two.
Without hesitation, Jiang Ling swung his blade with unstoppable force, slicing both the man and his weapon into two halves!
As the blood blade stained itself with the cultist's blood, the two halves of the cultist's body shriveled up instantly, their blood completely drained, and a strange power flowed continuously through the hilt and into Jiang Ling's body.
Jiang Ling felt a boiling hot current surging through his body, his strength increasing instantly by a notch, while at the same time, an aura of violence and bloodlust filled his mind.
His eyes were also consumed by a blood-red hue.
The light on the blood blade became even more vivid and eerie!
With the reinforcement of this power, Jiang Ling's attacks became increasingly fierce and brutal.
He wove through the cultists like a ghostly phantom, and every swing of his blood blade sent splashes of blood flying.
Although those God Worship Cult members were extremely fanatical, they gradually fell into a disadvantage before Jiang Ling's overwhelming strength.
However, the God Worship Cult members did not retreat; driven by some fanatical belief, they continued to rush at Jiang Ling recklessly.
"Hmph, you mob of rabble, do you think you can defeat me just because there are more of you?" Jiang Ling said with disdain, then immediately charged back into the enemy formation.
The blood blade seemed to possess a life of its own in his hand, ceaselessly absorbing the enemies' blood.
With the continuous infusion of blood, Jiang Ling felt his strength steadily climbing, and his speed and reaction time becoming faster and faster.
His entire Realm seemed to have been elevated!
This feeling reminded Jiang Ling of his experience taking a blood rage pill!
A red-robed Vice Bishop of the God Worship Cult saw this and lunged at Jiang Ling.
"Roar!"
The moment he charged over, his red robe suddenly shattered, revealing a half-human, half-demon monster with a leopard's head and bulging muscles all over its body.
He also held a long blade in his hand, his eyes blood-red, slashing wildly, each strike carrying an incredibly cold blade light.
"A mutation?"
"Is this a method of the God Worship Cult?"
"To actually turn into this neither-human-nor-ghost appearance, I really don't know what they are thinking!"
Jiang Ling shouted, brandishing his blood blade, lightning flashing on his body as he began to battle him.
The other God Worship Cult members around them also wanted to surround him, but were easily cut down by Jiang Ling in one strike.
Their blood, through the bizarre ability of the blood blade, once again transformed into Jiang Ling's power.
Thus, Jiang Ling fought more fiercely the longer he fought!
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, Jiang Ling triggered a fifty-fold critical strike, slashing the half-human, half-demon Vice Bishop so hard he could not defend, causing blood to spray from his shoulder.
"Whoosh!"
The blood that sprayed out was absorbed in mid-air by Jiang Ling's blood blade, causing Jiang Ling's strength to rise another level.
"Watch out for his blood blade!"
The leader wearing the red cloak saw the bizarre nature of Jiang Ling's blood blade and shouted loudly.
"Everyone back off, don't let him absorb any more blood!"
However, it was already a bit too late.
After absorbing this blood, the violent aura on Jiang Ling's body became increasingly powerful.
He smiled evilly, as if he were a demon god from Hell.
"Today, all of you will become souls under my blade!"
"Rumble..."
Around Jiang Ling, thunder roared.
Behind him, a massive phantom of the Black Tortoise also emerged.
Only, now this Black Tortoise phantom had transformed into a blood-red color.
"Thunder Slash!"
Jiang Ling roared and slashed his blade toward the Vice Bishop.
"Clang!"
The Vice Bishop's blade was chopped in two by Jiang Ling, and then a line of blood was carved across the Vice Bishop's body.
Slowly, the Vice Bishop's body fell apart to the sides.
"Bastard!"
The leader was furious at this moment.
With so many of them, to be killed so miserably by Jiang Ling alone was simply a great humiliation.
Especially since he could sense that Jiang Ling was only at the fourth-order Realm.
And he and that Vice Bishop were already fifth-order, while he himself was even approaching the sixth-order.
"Today, you must die!"
This High Bishop also lunged forward, his long spear thrusting out like a Dragon.
Seeing this, Jiang Ling's body flickered suddenly, dodging the High Bishop and charging toward the other God Worship Cult members; he still wanted to absorb more blood.
Jiang Ling's Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps were extremely bizarre, and in the blink of an eye, he had reached the front of these God Worship Cult members.
"Thunder Roar from Eight Directions!"
Jiang Ling roared, and lightning suddenly exploded from his body.
Over a dozen thunder Dragons flew out, and more than ten God Worship Cult members were blasted into charred corpses on the spot, falling to the ground dead!
"Bastard!"
The Bishop saw this and became even more furious.
He wanted to pursue Jiang Ling, but Jiang Ling's speed was now extremely fast, and he was unable to intercept him.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft..."
Jiang Ling's blood blade transformed into streaks of crimson light, flying out continuously, and those God Worship Cult members fell one after another.
They could not even escape if they wanted to.
And as he absorbed more blood, the violent aura on Jiang Ling's body became more and more intense; he was now like a bloodthirsty Vicious Beast.
A few minutes later, all of the God Worship Cult members had been slaughtered by Jiang Ling.
The square was left with a ground full of shriveled corpses.
Thunder surged on Jiang Ling's body, mixed with blood-colored phantoms.
He grinned at the furious Bishop of the God Worship Cult, looking as evil as a demon god incarnate.
"Now, it's your turn!"
"You are courting death!" The Bishop of the God Worship Cult shouted and lunged at Jiang Ling.
Holding his long spear, he gave it a slight shake, and blazing flames ignited upon it.
"Fire Dragon Attack!"
A fire Dragon transformed into something dozens of meters long, appearing just like a True Dragon, its head opening its maw, hideous and terrifying, as it headed straight for Jiang Ling.
Seeing this, Jiang Ling also roared and slashed his blade head-on.
"Boom!"
The lightning and the fire Dragon collided, erupting in a heaven-shaking explosion.
The bluestone slabs on the square were blown apart and sent flying in all directions!
"Come, come, come... let's see who is stronger!"
Jiang Ling was now like a madman, waving his blood blade and charging forward frantically, hacking at the God Worship Cult Bishop blade after blade as if he were chopping vegetables.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The battle between the two on the square entered a white-hot stage.
Trading blows, for a moment, they were evenly matched.
Soon, both of them had sustained quite a few wounds.
And this caused the God Worship Cult Bishop to gradually fall into a disadvantage.
Because Jiang Ling's blood blade could absorb blood; as long as he wounded his opponent, he would gain the advantage.
The Bishop of the God Worship Cult panicked a little at this moment; he had not expected that he would be beaten like this by a fourth-order Martial Artist.
He thrust his spear out violently, then turned around, intending to flee.
But how could Jiang Ling let him escape?
"Thunder Slash!"
Jiang Ling roared again, slashing his blade down from high above.
"Boom!"
The Bishop of the God Worship Cult was struck down to the ground.
