645: Chapter Blood Wing Scythe, Deep into the Blood Lake

Man Kuang's wild eyes fixated on the mysterious island, a greedy expression appearing on his face.

"This island is guarded by so many things; there might be even more precious treasures."

The Flame Demon snorted disdainfully at Man Kuang's words, the hot air expelled from his nostrils carrying a scorching aura.

However, a faint, burning light flickered in his indifferent eyes, clearly showing his interest in the unknown treasure.

"This is precisely our destination, so we naturally must go to the island. However, everyone, it's better if we proceed cautiously."

Upon hearing Zhu Jianhua's words, everyone nodded in agreement. Once they reached a consensus, they rubbed their fists, preparing to land on the island.

Just then, everyone's heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if an invisible chill rose from the depths of their souls, causing their bodies to tremble involuntarily.

"Whoosh!"

The originally calm lake suddenly churned violently, the water like an enraged beast, stirring up massive waves.

One after another, blood-colored figures, larger than ordinary horses, burst through the water's surface with massive splashes, approaching at high speed.

Their crimson vertical pupils, like burning flames, coldly overlooked the crowd, as if scrutinizing a flock of lambs awaiting slaughter.

These creatures had peculiar appearances, resembling enlarged flying insects.

Their bodies were covered in a layer of hard bone armor, which shimmered with an eerie blood-red light, as if forged from fresh blood.

They had a pair of blood-red wings on their backs; each flap generated a fierce gust of wind.

Especially their three pairs of forelegs, as sharp as blades, gleamed with a chilling light, causing an involuntary shiver of fear in anyone who saw them.

"Invaders, die!"

As a low, authoritative voice echoed across the heavens and earth, a powerful and extraordinary pressure surged forth, causing everyone's expressions to change dramatically.

Everyone felt as if a great mountain had pressed down on them, making breathing difficult.

A rough estimate showed that there were no less than ten thousand of these blood-colored flying insects, and what was shocking was that thirty percent of them were existences comparable to the King Realm.

Even more terrifying was that they were continuously emerging from beneath the blood-colored lake, as if the lake itself was an endless insect nest.

"These are Bloodwing Sickles. Everyone, be careful, kill them quickly!"

Zhu Jianhua's expression hardened. He knew the power of these Bloodwing Sickles well. After a low shout, he directly charged forward. With a raise of his hand, powerful waves of vital energy emanated from him, and hundreds of Bloodwing Sickles instantly self-destructed on the spot, turning into blood mist.

Bai Yuan, Man Kuang, and the Flame Demon were not to be outdone, each leading their teams into the fray.

Bai Yuan's sword gleamed with a cold light, each swing cutting down several Bloodwing Sickles.

Man Kuang, like a rampaging beast, sent Bloodwing Sickles flying with every punch and kick.

The Flame Demon was wreathed in flames; wherever he went, Bloodwing Sickles were incinerated into ash.

They exerted their full strength to clear out these Bloodwing Sickles. For a time, the lake surface was filled with flashing blades and swords, and permeated with blood mist.

However, a bizarre scene unfolded.

When they killed these Bloodwing Sickles, the flying insects transformed into blood and fell back into the blood-colored lake.

Moreover, more and more Bloodwing Sickles poured out as if endlessly, seemingly impossible to kill them all.

Meanwhile, everyone's strength was genuinely being consumed, and some people's faces gradually turned pale.

"This lake is strange!"

Bai Yuan said in a low voice, his brows tightly furrowed, a hint of worry in his eyes.

The others naturally noticed this as well, but they did not act rashly. Instead, their gazes subtly shifted towards Zhu Jianhua.

After all, among everyone present, Zhu Jianhua's strength was the greatest. When the sky falls, the tallest person bears the burden, and Zhu Jianhua was undoubtedly the tallest among them.

Zhu Jianhua understood this implicitly. He took a deep breath, and the next moment, a blood-red light permeated his surroundings. The blood-red light materialized, forming a barrier.

Bloodwing Sickles that approached him self-destructed under the influence of this blood-red light.

"Boundless Sea of Blood!"

Zhu Jianhua roared, and a blood-colored battle saber instantly condensed in his hand.

This battle saber emanated a powerful aura, its blade shimmering with mysterious runes, as if containing endless power.

Immediately, he fiercely slashed at the blood-colored lake.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a blood-colored saber light, like a giant dragon, charged towards the blood-colored lake.

The moment the saber light touched the blood-colored lake, the surface seemed to ignite, stirring up thousands of blood waves.

The blood waves were dozens of feet high, as if they would engulf the entire world.

Zhu Jianhua's strike was astonishingly powerful, causing the seemingly boundless blood-colored lake water to momentarily stagnate. Countless Bloodwing Sickles were annihilated in the residual power of the saber light, turning into nothingness.

However, this was only a temporary respite.

The lake surface churned even more violently, like an enraged giant beast, and more Bloodwing Sickles, carrying an even more ferocious aura, soared into the air.

Their forelegs gleamed with a cold light, like the scythes of death, pointing directly at everyone, as if to tear them to shreds.

"This won't do. We must find the source of these flying insects!"

Zhu Jianhua's expression was grim. He knew that relying solely on force would not completely resolve this crisis.

If they couldn't find the source, they would eventually be worn down and killed by these Bloodwing Sickles.

The Flame Demon snorted coldly, the flames on his body leaping even more fiercely, instantly incinerating a swath of Bloodwing Sickles into ash. But in his eyes, a thoughtful look also appeared, clearly indicating he was also contemplating how to find the source.

"The source? Could it be that some unspeakable secret is hidden beneath this lake?"

Man Kuang licked his lips, his eyes showing both excitement and wariness. He was excited because if he could find the source, he might gain tremendous benefits.

He was wary because he knew that great danger might be hidden beneath this source.

"Whatever it is, I'm going to dig it out!"

Bai Yuan appeared calmer. He continuously swung his sword, and streaks of sword light, like meteors, sealed off the surrounding space, temporarily slowing down the Bloodwing Sickles' offensive.

His eyes remained calm, observing everything around him, searching for possible clues.

"In that case, the four of us will go down and investigate."

Zhu Jianhua nodded in agreement. He quickly assigned tasks.

He and the other three, including Bai Yuan, transformed into four streams of light, charging into the depths of the blood-colored lake.

Meanwhile, Zhou Rong and the other Blood Disciples, Ape Zhan and the other Demonic Beasts experts, as well as the Demon Clan and Human Race experts, formed an unbreakable defense line on the lake's surface.

They each employed their own methods, resisting the tide-like onslaught of Bloodwing Sickles.
