239: Ding Yin was born

Regarding Blood Demon Ding Yin, there were actually quite a few people within Shu Mountain who knew his legend.

However, very few people knew the relationship between Ding Yin, the Blood Demon, and Baimei. Fairy Yunyi was one, and the current Xuanji Zi was another; no one else knew what connection they truly had.

As for Ding Yin's appearance, ever since Baimei appeared, no one knew what he actually looked like anymore.

Now, this handsome Young Master in white robes actually claimed to be Ding Yin. How could this not shock everyone present, and how could it not fill Xuanji Zi with extreme terror?

"Oh no, the Blood Demon has emerged..." Xuanji Zi muttered.

"Master, hasn't the Blood Demon been here for a long time? Besides, my sister and I have seen him before, and he didn't look like this at all!" Yao Muyun exclaimed.

"The Blood Demon you saw was merely a remnant soul..." Xuanji Zi said, sounding somewhat pained. "Only after he absorbed the Sect Leader's soul did he become the complete Blood Demon..."

Yao Muyun didn't understand, and neither did the others from Shu Mountain present, but Wei Zheng and his companions understood.

Because Tang Ku had already told his companions about what he had seen and heard last night, they naturally knew that the Young Master in white robes before them was the true form of Blood Demon Ding Yin.

"Hmm, this is truly not bad. Have all the Disciples of Shu Mountain become my subordinates?"

The Blood Demon, who claimed to be Ding Yin, couldn't help but click his tongue repeatedly. "Heh, what a good Red Corpse Divine Lord. Well, fine. Since you've helped me quite a bit, I won't hold you accountable for attempting to control my consciousness!"

Over there, Nezha frowned slightly. His Wind Fire Wheels were as swift as wind and fire, bringing him before Ding Yin in the blink of an eye. As he looked the other up and down, the other was doing the same to him.

"Divine-Grade?" Nezha couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Hmm... not bad... You are also Divine-Grade? Heh, that is quite rare!" Ding Yin chuckled.

"It's not rare. We've met before, though you didn't look like this back then!" Nezha squinted slightly. "And you didn't have such powerful strength at that time, either!"

"Oh, I remember now!" Ding Yin slapped his forehead and chuckled. "Yesterday, you repelled my Sea of Blood and even injured my true form... Your strength is very impressive!"

"Enough talk!" Nezha pointed his Fire Tipped Spear at Ding Yin and said indifferently, "Your soul should be complete now, and your magic power has increased so much. In fact, if you hadn't focused on the Demonic Path, you might have already finished Undergoing Tribulation and achieved Ascension! Heh, we didn't determine a winner yesterday, so today we shall fight to our heart's content!"

Ding Yin, however, said with great interest, "You like fighting that much? Heh, I've already introduced myself; are you unwilling to even say your name?"

"My surname is Li... Hmm, the name isn't important; you won't remember it once you're dead anyway!" Nezha laughed heartily. "Since I'm already here, it would be rude not to give you a welcoming gift..."

As he spoke, Nezha's Fire Tipped Spear thrust out. Countless flaming phantoms landed on Ding Yin, resulting in intense heat and explosions.

Boom!

Ding Yin's body was blown into fragments; countless pieces of flesh and blood flew everywhere. He was truly dead, leaving not even a residue...

However, Nezha knew that the person before him had suffered absolutely no damage.

Even now, his aura had not dissipated in the slightest; instead, it had condensed even more tightly. Moreover, that terrifying Devilish Qi was something he had never seen before; even Nezha was seeing such powerful Devilish Qi for the first time.

"I remember the last time someone could condense such Devilish Qi was at the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation... Could it be that he alone can rival a super formation on the level of the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation?" Nezha couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly. "Am I being too suspicious?"

"Heh, you brat, why did you strike without letting someone answer?"

The shattered flesh and blood suddenly turned into countless droplets of blood, hovering in mid-air. Ding Yin's voice, coming from who knows where, went straight into people's hearts.

Subsequently, these blood droplets suddenly condensed towards the place where Nezha had just thrust his spear. In the blink of an eye, they formed a new body—still that same handsome Young Master in white robes.

"You really have some tricks. It seems what the Holy Monk said—'as long as the Sea of Blood is not destroyed, the Blood Demon will not die'—is true?" Nezha looked at Ding Yin and suddenly sighed. "I thought you were a formidable character, but it turns out you rely on having high HP and high defense... Sigh, what a hassle!"

Ding Yin frowned slightly: "Just a hassle?"

"Hmm, just a hassle..."

Nezha beckoned, and the flying shuttle in mid-air suddenly dove down like a cruise missile, smashing Ding Yin's entire body into pieces once again. Then, the flying shuttle instantly transformed into mecha armor and quickly combined with Nezha.

When Ding Yin restored himself to his original state again, he saw a three-to-four-meter-tall robot facing him, holding a massive Fire Tipped Spear in its hand.

"It seems there have been significant changes during the time I disappeared. Previous mechanical creations were not this refined and powerful!" Ding Yin couldn't help but praise. "However, do you think I only have what you called... oh, high HP and high defense, is it? Heh, if you really think so, then I can only say, you're dead..."

As he spoke, a blinding red light erupted, turning Ding Yin deep red. Then, a blood-red longsword, fully over a dozen meters long, suddenly formed before him, then turned into a streak of blood-red light and thrust towards Nezha.

The fire-red mecha actually appeared rather inconspicuous amidst this blood-red color. However, Nezha was never one to wait for death. The power of the Fire Tipped Spear in the mecha's hand had expanded more than tenfold. A sky full of spear shadows erupted in mid-air, forcefully resisting this longsword. Then, a golden light flashed, and the Universe Ring suddenly flew up from behind the mecha. This Magic Treasure, which had expanded more than tenfold, crashed thunderously onto that blood-red longsword, instantly smashing it into fragments.

However, Nezha miscalculated. After the blood sword shattered, it actually transformed into countless longswords about two meters long in mid-air, attacking Nezha. Nezha unleashed his Divine Might, controlling the mecha to smash these blood-red Flying Swords into disarray, but he quickly discovered that these blood swords were actually increasing the more he fought. Moreover, as his attacks became sharper, the attack power and attack speed of these blood swords were also becoming faster.

Seeing this scene, Ding Yin couldn't help but smile: "You have no time to deal with me for the moment, so let me first handle some internal affairs of Shu Mountain..."

His body turned into countless blood droplets, appearing before Xuanji Zi almost like teleportation. The moment Ding Yin's body formed, Xuanji Zi felt his breath hitch, and immediately after, a large hand grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up.

"Heh, I remember you. Back then, you brought my 'Good Corpse' to fight me... Hmm, among the current Shu Mountain, you are the cleverest and most loyal. If I keep you alive, you will definitely be a disaster!"

As he spoke, Ding Yin's right hand exerted force, about to snap Xuanji Zi's neck. Xuanji Zi was completely unable to mobilize his magic power and could only close his eyes and wait for death. Unexpectedly, in an instant, two sword beams—one purple and one azure—arrived from both sides, cutting off his arm directly like a pair of scissors.

Ding Yin frowned slightly, looked at the two low-ranking Disciples to the side, and couldn't help but smile: "Purple and Azure Twin Swords?... Heh, I truly miss them. I wonder if you have achieved the 'Twin Swords Combined' with them?"
