224: Chapter 224 You dare call this a murderous aura?

"Hum~"

Six Golden Core spiritual energies poured into the Blood Evil Formation simultaneously. The dark red light membrane suddenly sank, and the Evil Qi within the Formation surged and expanded, permeating the air like ignited grease.

Commander Su Qin let out a muffled groan, his knees buckled, and he knelt on one knee. He used the tip of his sword to brace his body against the ground. The Evil Qi wrapped around his limbs like a layer of viscous mud, pressing down on him so heavily that even lifting his head was a struggle.

Deputy Commander Lin He stood outside the Formation, and seeing this scene, he finally burst into loud laughter.

"Haha."

The laughter was not loud, but it was exceptionally jarring in the night, as if he had been holding it in for a long time and finally waited for this moment.

"Commander Su Qin, relying on the strength of your Su family, you have always dared to be unruly in front of me. But what about now? Aren't you still kneeling before me, unable to even stand up? And you still want to be a commander?"

"What will you use to be one? Will you use this pathetic kneeling posture of yours?"

He shook his head, flicked his finger against a bone bead, and his tone carried a thin layer of contempt.

"He is just a raven demon; I actually thought he had some great ability. Now it seems he is nothing more than trash pinned down by my Blood Evil Formation."

Wu Li stood in the center of the Formation, motionless, his expression unchanged.

The Evil Qi surged around him, attempting to burrow into his pores like a living thing. But the moment those dark red Evil Qi touched his skin, it hissed like water droplets falling onto a red-hot iron plate, immediately dissipating.

There was not a trace of suppression on Wu Li.

Soon.

Deputy Commander Lin He's laughter gradually ceased.

He looked at the motionless figure in the Formation, his gaze pausing on the layer of Evil Qi that kept dissipating and surging, and his pupils constricted slightly: "You... you are actually unaffected by my Evil Qi?"

Wu Li smiled at this moment.

The laughter was not loud, but it was much deeper than Deputy Commander Lin He's, carrying a condescending composure.

"You call this Evil Qi?"

Before the words faded, Wu Li spread his arms abruptly, and his wings flapped behind him. A monstrous surge of Evil Qi exploded from within him, overwhelming the sky and spreading in all directions.

"Rumble!!"

The gray-red Evil Qi rapidly condensed and rotated behind Wu Li, forming a gray-red wheel nearly a zhang in diameter, which hovered and rotated slowly behind him.

Once the Blood Fiend Primal Wheel appeared, the Evil Qi within the Blood Evil Formation began to flow toward Wu Li as if guided by something. It moved slowly at first, then faster and faster, like water being sucked into a whirlpool, swallowed into the wheel layer by layer.

The dark red Evil Qi dissolved the moment it touched the wheel, as if it had been chewed up and swallowed by something. The light of the entire Blood Evil Formation dimmed rapidly, like a lamp drained of its oil.

The wheel turned once.

With a wave of Wu Li's hand, the Evil Qi within the Formation had already been assimilated by him. He snatched several Blood Evil Beads, played with them casually in his palm, and then, as if looking at trash, threw them on the ground and kicked them away.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Truly, pitifully weak."

Deputy Commander Lin He's pupils constricted violently, as if his worldview had been reshaped.

It was imaginable.

In Deputy Commander Lin He's world, this Magic Treasure was something he had begun to refine step by step when he first started to Cultivate. He had been invincible in battle, never failing, and had relied on this treasure to forge endless fame and achieve his current status.

But now... he saw the thing he was absolutely proud of being kicked around like a ball by Wu Li...

"This is impossible!"

"This is impossible!!!!"

Deputy Commander Lin He's steps retreated involuntarily, his shoe soles scraping harshly against the gravel.

"My Blood Evil Bead... This is the Evil Qi that I spent hundreds of methods to refine... How could you possibly..."

In contrast to Deputy Commander Lin He's despair, Wu Li was naturally disdainful.

"If that is all, then it ends here."

Wu Li pushed his claws forward abruptly, and the Blood Fiend Primal Wheel shook violently. A monstrous surge of Evil Qi exploded from behind him like a breach in the Yellow River. The gray-red Evil Qi, wrapped in a heavy sense of oppression, pressed down in all directions like an invisible mountain.

"Rumble~"

The light membrane of the Blood Evil Formation trembled violently under the impact of the Evil Qi. The few people still trying their best to maintain their spiritual energy looked at Deputy Commander Lin He's current situation and really wanted to curse his mother.

But at this moment, facing Wu Li, they truly dared not stop.

It was just that this thing was not a matter of whether they wanted to stop or not.

The terrifying explosion of Evil Qi shattered the Formation directly, and the light screen burst into a sky full of red light spots, shattering completely.

The six Xuan Kun Guards were sent flying by the Evil Qi, like rafts swept away by a huge wave. They each fell to the ground, vomiting blood, struggling to get up.

Struggling to try to prop up their bodies.

But the moment their fingers touched the ground, the Blood Fiend Primal Wheel behind Wu Li turned abruptly. The gray-red Evil Qi, as if guided by something, spread toward them, silently crawling along the gravel ground onto their limbs, waists, abdomens, and necks, crazily burrowing into their bodies through their mouths, noses, and seven orifices during the gaps in their struggle.

The first Xuan Kun Guard to fall had just propped up half his body when the Evil Qi poured into him through the corners of his eyes, nostrils, and ear crevices. He let out a muffled groan, his fingers digging into the soil, his nails breaking, and his ten fingers clawing ten bloodstains into the ground.

"Ah!!!"

He began to tremble violently, then let out a sharp scream, as if something was surging, tearing, and devouring inside his Meridians.

His skin rapidly turned from grayish-white to bluish-gray, his lips turned purple, and his pupils vibrated violently in their sockets, as if being squeezed from the inside out by something.

The scream lasted for three or four breaths, then suddenly stopped. His body curled up stiffly on the ground, like a piece of mud that had been baked dry and then shattered, motionless.

The others were in the same situation.

Some curled into a ball while clutching their chests, trying to force the Evil Qi out of their bodies, but none lasted more than a few breaths before they successively stiffened on the ground, dead.

Deputy Commander Lin He stood on the spot, watching the six corpses fall one after another, watching that light wheel behind Wu Li still rotating slowly, like a stone grinder pushed onto a track—slow, heavy, and unstoppable.

He did not retreat again, as if he had already retreated to the edge of some line, and if he retreated further, he would not know where to go.

His gaze paused on each of the six corpses in turn, and finally landed on Wu Li. His lips moved, but no sound came out, as if he wanted to say something, but those words turned around in his throat and retreated the way they came, and in the end, he said nothing.

"He already stated his conditions just now."

"Do you want to also..."

Before Wu Li finished speaking, a silver-white flash of lightning swept past behind him, as fast as a string that had been tightened and suddenly released. It grazed his shoulder and accurately plunged into Deputy Commander Lin He's chest.
