1063: Chapter 1062 A Blood-Red Torrent, Ruthlessly Slaying Enemies

Like a bursting torrent of blood, or a devastating meteor storm, countless blood-qi Vicious Beasts swept across the sky, indiscriminately bombarding the twelve experts, including Qing Li!

These blood-qi Vicious Beasts were not just for show; they contained Wu Zhankong's Battle Intent and certain characteristics. Their impact was staggering, and they even possessed a self-detonating power. Once they collided with a target or were destroyed, they would explode into a chaotic mass of blood-qi, dealing secondary damage!

"Damn it, this move has actually reached the level of a Middle Divine Ability. How long has it been since his Breakthrough?"

"Watch out!"

"What audacity!"

"Scatter! Defend!"

The expressions of the twelve experts all changed. They hadn't expected that while under siege, Wu Zhankong could still unleash such a wide-ranging, powerful, and aggressive counterattack Divine Ability.

The momentum of those ten thousand stampeding beasts felt as if it would trample the very heavens to pieces!

They were forced to temporarily interrupt or disperse their concentrated suppression of Wu Zhankong, each employing their own methods—condensing shields, unleashing area-of-effect attacks, or dodging and parrying—to deal with this sudden onslaught of the "beast tide."

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!

The blood-colored Vicious Beasts collided with various defensive and offensive Divine Abilities, triggering a continuous series of violent explosions. The sky seemed dyed in blood, and the turbulent energy was like a raging ocean, completely submerging the entire battlefield.

Wu Zhankong's gaze was like lightning, piercing through the chaotic aftershocks of the explosions. He instantly locked onto Qing Li, who was pale-faced, her Aura withered, and struggling to fend off the pounces of several blood-qi Heavenly Wolves.

He took a step forward, his figure like a Blood-colored Meteor tearing through the chaos. His war blade was already raised, its grayish-black edge flickering with a lethal cold light, aimed straight at Qing Li's vitals!

"Wu Zhankong!"

Sensing the undisguised killing intent, Qing Li felt a chill in her heart, her mind filled with shock and fury.

But she was a top-tier expert after all. Suppressing the urge to counterattack immediately, she made the most level-headed judgment in an instant.

Currently, her heavy injuries hadn't healed, her Origin Dao wound had been triggered, and her state was extremely poor. In a head-on clash, she was absolutely no match for Wu Zhankong, especially since he had just emerged from that strange transformation, with his Aura and combat power at an incalculable Peak.

"Want to kill me? It won't be that easy!"

Qing Li gritted her silver teeth, a flash of determination and heartache crossing her eyes.

Instead of choosing to unleash an offensive or defensive Divine Ability, she slammed her hands together, crushing a jade pendant she wore close to her body, which was carved with intricate star patterns.

Buzz!

A soft yet resilient starlight erupted from within her, instantly enveloping her entire body.

In the next moment, her figure rippled like water, creating a strange resonance with the surrounding chaotic spatial fluctuations. Her Aura rapidly diminished, and her figure became blurred and transparent, as if melting into the spatial background.

Spatial Secret Treasure—Star-Trace Hidden Escape!

This was one of her life-saving trump cards. It could greatly conceal her Aura and form within a short time, merging her into the spatial layers. It was difficult to detect for anyone who didn't have profound attainments in the Law of space or possessed special investigative Divine Abilities.

Wu Zhankong's blade light slashed down, but it only shattered a dissipating starlight afterimage left by Qing Li.

The real Qing Li had already vanished from his perception, leaving only a nearly imperceptible spatial ripple in her place.

"Hmm? She escaped?"

Wu Zhankong's brow twitched slightly. The purple vortex in his right eye accelerated its rotation as he scanned the surroundings.

He could sense an extremely faint spatial fluctuation, but Qing Li's concealment method was quite sophisticated. In this environment of stampeding beasts and violent energy, it was difficult to pinpoint her location for the moment.

"Decisive enough."

Wu Zhankong snorted coldly, but he didn't hesitate or waste time searching.

His target had never been just Qing Li alone! Since this woman chose to hide and recover, he would deal with the others first!

His gaze was like a cold blade's edge, quickly sweeping over the other eleven experts who were using various means to combat the "Ten Thousand Beasts Stampede."

The consumption of maintaining the Scar of Chaos, combined with the drain from their previous joint attack and their current state of disarray under the assault of the blood-qi Vicious Beasts, meant everyone's condition had declined, their Auras clearly showing varying levels of strength.

In an instant, Wu Zhankong locked onto a target—the Old Man in Grey Robes who had previously used the "Ten Thousand Shadows Binding Dragon" Divine Ability. He was currently entangled by three Blood-qi Giant Rhinos and several Blood-Winged Demon Bats, his Aura being the most turbulent and his protective spiritual light appearing somewhat dim!

This person's cultivation wasn't considered top-tier among the group to begin with, and his consumption seemed to be the greatest.

It's you!

Wu Zhankong's figure blurred. He didn't charge directly but instead submerged like a ghost into the churning army of blood-qi Vicious Beasts.

He seemed to become part of the beast tide, yet also like a sovereign commanding the ten thousand beasts. Using the cover and impact of the countless blood-qi Vicious Beasts, he silently approached the Old Man in Grey Robes.

The Old Man in Grey Robes was waving a snake-shaped short staff, summoning more shadow tentacles to whip and crush the pouncing blood-qi Vicious Beasts, but sweat had already appeared on his forehead, and his breathing was slightly hurried.

These blood-qi Vicious Beasts had strong impact force, and their self-detonation power was not small, making them quite mentally exhausting to deal with.

Just as he concentrated on crushing a roaring Blood Rhino—at the very moment his old strength was spent and new strength had yet to rise—

A crimson blade light, more condensed and lethal than any of the blood-qi Vicious Beasts, erupted without warning from the light and shadow of a bursting Blood Phoenix at his side!

Behind the blade light was Wu Zhankong's face, cold as ten-thousand-year-old profound ice!

"Oh no!"

The Old Man in Grey Robes's soul nearly left his body. He only had time to hold the snake-shaped short staff across his chest while frantically driving his protective spiritual light, his shadow power attempting to lay down layers of defense in front of him.

However, it was too late!

Wu Zhankong had been building momentum for this strike for a long time. It was as fast as a thunderclap and as vicious as a venomous snake!

Squelch!

The grayish-black blade edge first tore through the hastily deployed shadow barrier, then slammed heavily into the snake-shaped short staff!

Clang—Crack!

Amidst the ear-piercing sound of clashing metal, that high-quality short staff was actually hacked with a deep crack, its spiritual light instantly dimming!

The blade light's momentum was not yet exhausted. Breaking through the short staff's obstruction, it slashed heavily onto the Old Man in Grey Robes's protective spiritual light!

The protective spiritual light flickered violently, supporting him for less than half a breath before shattering with a bang!

The Old Man in Grey Robes groaned. A wound deep enough to see bone was carved across his chest, blood spraying wildly as he was sent flying back like a broken sack.

"Don't kill me! I'll leave right now!"

Wu Zhankong followed him like a shadow, giving him no chance to catch his breath or cry for help!

With a flash, he caught up to the flying Old Man in Grey Robes, his war blade transforming into a dense, blood-colored net of blades that enveloped him!

"Save me!"

Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, the Old Man in Grey Robes screamed in terror, frantically waving his damaged short staff and unleashing various life-saving methods, Divine Abilities, and throwing out defensive treasures.

Shadows churned and runes flickered in an attempt to resist.

But at this moment, whether in power, speed, or the condensation of Battle Intent, Wu Zhankong completely overwhelmed the Old Man in Grey Robes, whose state was poor and whose mind was already in disarray.

Blade light clashed violently with shadows and runic light, the sound of explosions never-ending.
