222: Destroy the soul of the elder and get the bloody cloak

Feeling the abnormality that appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, the Red-robed Elder’s confidence greatly increased:

“Good, thankfully my Mental Fortress is sturdy enough, otherwise I would have really fallen for it!”

Having relied on his Mental Fortress to withstand Mental Power Great Grandmaster attacks multiple times, he was no stranger to mental attacks.

The two people he knocked down were, at most, at the Grandmaster Realm.

Mental attacks from Martial Artists of this Realm posed no threat to him.

However, why did that sense of impending death appear?

The next moment, Jiang Fan showed him the reason with his actions.

Jiang Fan conveyed the intention of drawing the bow in his Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately, a massive amount of atomized Mental Energy furiously gathered at the bowstring of the Soul Breaking Bow.

As the bowstring was drawn into a full moon shape, a golden feathered arrow, transmuted from Mental Energy, condensed on the bowstring.

Whoosh!

A golden light flashed from Jiang Fan’s glabella, and the Mental Arrow, like a cruise missile, instantly shattered the Red-robed Elder’s Mental Fortress.

Boom!

The Red-robed Elder’s Sea of Consciousness instantly exploded, and his entire Soul turned into nothingness.

Immediately after, the Red-robed Elder’s body fell straight from the edge of the pit into the fire pit.

In an instant, the Red-robed Elder turned into a huge fireball.

Phew!

It’s finally resolved!

Seeing this, Jiang Fan, who had been under intense mental strain, felt completely drained, and his body instantly went limp.

The consumption was too great!

Drawing the Soul Breaking Bow once nearly exhausted all the atomized Mental Energy in his Sea of Consciousness.

In other words, with Jiang Fan’s current Realm, even at his Peak state, he could only draw a Perfection Soul Breaking Bow once.

“He… he’s dead! Jiang Fan, you did it!”

Yuan Xiwei, standing beside him, watched all of this with tears in her eyes.

Her chest heaved violently as she excitedly threw herself onto Jiang Fan.

Instantly killing a Great Grandmaster-level expert—something Yuan Xiwei couldn’t even imagine—was accomplished by this young man under 20 years old!

The moment the Soul Breaking Bow was fired, Yuan Xiwei also felt the mental shock in her Sea of Consciousness.

She could hardly imagine what the consequences would be if that arrow had been shot at her.

Even now, just thinking about it sent shivers down her spine.

Fortunately, this man was a friend, not an enemy!

Feeling two soft masses pressing and deforming against his chest, Jiang Fan’s voice was dry as he chuckled and said,

“Just luck!”

Jiang Fan patted Yuan Xiwei’s back,

“That… I can barely breathe!”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiwei’s pretty face flushed crimson with embarrassment.

She quickly jumped off Jiang Fan and stood to the side, saying sheepishly,

“Sorry, I lost my composure for a moment…”

Just then, the System’s pleasant notification sound rang out.

“Congratulations to the Host for killing a Great Grandmaster! Killing Concept +2%!”

Jiang Fan smiled, it seemed that to quickly improve his Killing Concept, he needed to kill high-Realm enemies.

Wait a minute!

He forgot to perform Endless Extraction?!

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan’s mind stirred, and he activated Endless Extraction.

“Extraction failed, the target no longer has flesh and blood…”

Damn it!

In such a short time, the body had already been burned to charcoal.

Jiang Fan looked at the charred corpse, feeling a wave of melancholy.

This was a Great Grandmaster-level expert; not being able to extract from him was a significant loss.

But thankfully, the spatial ring was still there, so he wasn't completely empty-handed.

Jiang Fan walked to the corpse, preparing to take off the spatial ring.

Wait! ~

To his surprise, the Red-robed Elder’s robe on the corpse was completely intact and had not been burned.

He retrieved the spatial ring from the charcoal and then picked up the red robe, asking in confusion,

“Sister Wei, I remember the red robes we wore weren’t fireproof. What’s going on with this red robe?”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiwei stepped forward, her jade-like fingers caressing the red robe.

After a careful examination, she said excitedly,

“This… this could be the legendary Divine Weapon of the Blood Demon Old Ancestor—the Blood-colored Cloak!”

After Yuan Xiwei’s explanation, Jiang Fan gained a better understanding of the cloak in his hand.

It was said that this cloak was originally black, and it had accompanied the Blood Demon Old Ancestor in battles for many years.

Due to the Blood Demon Old Ancestor’s excessive killing, the cloak was stained with the blood of countless experts.

Slowly, the cloak turned blood-colored.

Later, the Blood Demon Old Ancestor refined it with various precious bloods, elevating its quality to that of a Divine Weapon.

The cloak possessed unfathomable power; basic functions like fire resistance, water resistance, poison resistance, and bullet resistance were just the beginning.

As for its true power, it awaited Jiang Fan’s further exploration.

The Blood-colored Cloak was currently masterless, and Jiang Fan did not hesitate to perform a blood bond to make it his own.

Afterward, Jiang Fan happily put it into his spatial ring.

After recovering some Mental Energy, Jiang Fan looked up at the cave entrance and murmured,

“Next, it’s time to experience the Blood Refinement Purgatory Pool!”

…

Somewhere in the underground cave,

An old man with white hair and beard looked at the woman slowly waking up in front of him, exclaiming in surprise,

“Second Miss, you’re finally awake!”

The woman sat up with difficulty, shaking her still-dizzy head, and said weakly,

“Uncle Qian, where are we?”

“Replying to Second Miss, we are still in the underground cave. Would you like to rest for a while, and then we return to the Xie Family?”

The old man replied respectfully.

Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Second Miss Xie Qin’s eyes:

“No! I can’t go back empty-handed like this!”

She struggled to stand up,

“It’s that damn Jiang Fan again, he stole my Blood Flame Demonic Fire! Also, that Mental Power Great Grandmaster in the Family was a fraud; the Mental Fortress he inscribed couldn’t withstand a single blow from Jiang Fan!”

Qian Bixiang probed,

“Since that’s the case, why don’t we go back and make a long-term plan? That kid has many tricks up his sleeve, he’s really not easy to deal with.”

Second Miss Xie Qin shook her head:

“Without the Blood Flame Demonic Fire, there’s still the Blood Refinement Purgatory Pool. If we can get our hands on the Blood Refinement Purgatory Pool, it wouldn’t be in vain for all our hard preparations!”

Qian Bixiang asked in confusion,

“Second Miss, without the Blood Flame Demonic Fire, taking the Blood Refinement Purgatory Pool would be useless.”

Second Miss Xie Qin glared at Qian Bixiang:

“The Blood Flame Demonic Fire should be in that Yuan Family girl’s hands.

When we go back, we can find an opportunity to snatch it, can’t we?

Moreover, it’s possible they will also go to contend for the Blood Refinement Purgatory Pool.

If we go now and act according to the situation, we might be able to fish in troubled waters.”

After speaking, she took out two jade pendants from her spatial ring and handed one to Qian Bixiang:

“Wear this; it can withstand three Mental Energy impacts.”

…

Half an hour later,

Deep in the underground cave, at the Blood Bat Demon’s main base.

The Left Commander paced back and forth in the main hall, like an ant on a hot pan.

The Right Commander sat calmly on a chair, watching the pacing Left Commander, feeling annoyed:

“I say, can’t you sit down and rest? You’re making me dizzy!”

The Left Commander crossed his arms behind his back, anxiously saying,

“I say, why aren’t you anxious at all?”

He then pointed to the high platform, his brows furrowed,

“If we wait any longer, the Demon Lord, who has already reformed half of his body, will collapse again.”

The Right Commander pressed his hand down, comforting him,

“Brother, don’t be anxious. What problem can anxiety solve?

Since the Elder is personally guarding the Blood Flame Cave, there must be something unresolved.

If anyone should be anxious, isn’t the Elder more anxious than us?”
